Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Evan blinked as she looked out with astonished eyes. Though the place was just opposite to what she had thought, what shocked her was.. Leo chose this palace as their first date!

"Come out! Or are you going to spend the whole time there only?" with a smirk on his face, he held her hand and pulled her out of the carriage.

Feeling confident while looking at her stunned reaction, he could not help but ask,

"Do you not like fair?" who had told him that girls enjoy playing games and seeing the fireworks in the middle of the night!

The sound of the music and laughter had filled the air and the kids were playing all around the dazzling lights from the small shops that looked like an array of stars that had fallen on the earth with the group of the fairies.

The place was lively and she was sure there would be a lot of dishes inside with games. She had come here once with Martin but that was a long time ago.

"No! It's just…" nervousness filled his heart. This was the first time he had arranged a date and he wanted it to be perfect!

If Evan did not like the place, then his whole plan was going to be a big failure.

Evan was stunned to see his pleading eyes. He was looking like a puppy who was abandoned by his master that made her amused but at the same time her desire to tease him increased!

"I have imagined a silent beach or a night garden with only the two of us.. And I have thought of fulfilling your wish there." she lowered her head and bit her lips as her cheeks turned red.

Her shy look was enchanting! All the alarm bells of Leo rang when he realized what she was offering.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"But since we are here, let's enjoy the fair too!"

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" though she was still speaking, Leo was looking lost! Only the last line was ringing in his mind! Had he lost the chance due to the crowd!

Shall he ask everyone to evacuate the area or should he ask the coachmen to take them to a deserted area.. Wild thoughts started to fill his mind and his mind started to fill with plans to dumbnap her to a secluded place when he heard a pearl of laughter and turned his head to look at her.

"Leo! Are we not going to the fair anymore? What are you thinking?" she blinked and stared at him with still her cheeks reeder faking obliviousness. While in her heart she was laughing like an evil woman!

"Hmm, nothing! Of course, we are going to the fair!" he shifted his weight from one foot to another as he adjusted his collar as if he was having trouble breathing suddenly.

He held her hands a bit tightly in his grip as they walked in. chatter of the wanderers and the calls of sellers filled their surroundings and finally his tensed body started to ease again as they continued to roam here and there while pointing at shops and talking to each other without a care in the world.

In the distance, a group of kids were trying to aim at the apples! The person who would shoot a certain bunch of people would get a gift from the shop owner who had a wide grin on his face as he took money from the kids but they were not able to win the prize!

"But brother, I want that toy! It is so cute!" the girl pouted her lips as she nudged the shirt of her brother who had a frown on his face too.

"Amy, i have already spent all the coins i had. How about we go home for now and ask mother for more coins or I earn them first so that I can win the toy for you next time!`` The boy tried his best to coax the girl but she shook her head and started sobbing!

"Leo!" Evan pulled the shirt of the man in a soft voice as she stared at the man with a pout on her face too.

"I thought we were here to enjoy ourselves!" Although he complained, he had already started walking towards the booth where the girl was still crying.

"Hey, pretty girl, which toy do you want?" The body covered her sister behind him when he saw that two strangers were talking to them and tried to look scary as he stared coldly at them!

But the girl still peeked out from behind and pointed at the small set of clay dolls with bright colors.

"That, i want that toy pretty sister!" she exclaimed as she jumped on her seat that she did not need to give up on the toy, she still had the chance of winning it!

"Amy!" The boy scolded but the girl just whined and avoided the fierce eyes of her brother.

"And what do you want, little boy?" Evan had noticed him staring at the wooden sword when he was trying to win the prize but the boy just looked away without replying.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

He did not believe that a woman wearing as fine clothes as Evan would help them in winning the prize when even he was not able to aim properly!

"Sigh! You are a stubborn one, aren't you!" she ruffled his hair on which he glared at her again but she just ignored his fierce eyes as she walked back to Leo who had already paid coins and bought the wooden slingshot and small stones!

"You have to shoot at least 20 out of twenty five apples to win a toy!" reminded the old man as he counted the bronze coins that the man had given him!

"Where did you get them?" she asked with surprise as she stared at the number of coins! Hadn't he said that, he did not have any bronze coin!

"I have come with full preparation. What if you ask me to buy everything in the fair! Even now, aren't I doing foolish things for you!" He looked at her with a dotting gaze and she lowered her head with a shy smile on her face.

She could not believe that the cold man was being so good at talking sweet words and flirting with her! From where was he learning all this?!!

On the other hand, the owner snorted as he thought that they had taken out a loan to spend on the fair. Since both of them were wearing fine clothes even when it looked like a uniform, he had thought they were rich enough!

But since they were another fool! He was going to earn a lot from them! It would serve them a good lesson that they should not borrow money and think of helping others with that!

With a smirk he pointed at the small cherries this time!

"Since we do not have sufficient apples left. You have to shoot those cherries!"
