Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Just stop that! I will tell you everything you want to know but let my hands go first!"  his eyes had turned red and whole face was covered with cold sweat.

The hand duke had peeled and applied spices on was dripping blood and trembling so hard like a fish was taking out water.

The other hand, William had started working on.. The man tried his best to take it back but it was bound too tightly!

"I will tell you where that old man is! You are looking for him, right? Let me go and I will take you to him!" he pleaded again as he stared at the duke who was so calm that trembled him again!

If duke would have been furious or lost his composure then he would not have been so terrified. But the cold blooded look in his eyes was so scary that the man tried to run away. He could see his death in them.

Willaim finally stopped peeling his hands and looked at him with a nefarious smile on his face, "you are not going anywhere! Pass me the address of that old man and my knights would go and check! If we find him, we will let you go! If not.. You would pay double for lying to us!" With a deathly pale face and scared voice, the man told the address and the knight standing behind William bowed his head and left the room.

"Now tell me, what do you know about the old man schemes?" William stood up and walked towards the single chair in the room and sat on it while crossing his leg one over the other.

His cold eyes stared at the assassin who was withering in pain without any emotions when the assassin gulped.

He could see his death dancing in his eyes,

"The old man said that he is the real father of Evangeline and you have kidnapped him in exchange for gold coins because she is useful for you!

He thought that he would blackmail you and get the position of a higher noble in your vassal family.

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

But when you started hunting him, he decided to tell the truth to his daughter and take her away so that you would have to give up and fulfil his wishes.. If not.." the man trembled as he felt the temperature falling lower.

The eyes of the duke were turning darker and colder every passing second as if he would burn the whole palace..

"If not?" William tilted his head and took out another clean dagger from his pocket. "Continue.."

"If not.. He would kill his daughter and make you suffer all your life!"

"Clank!" the dagger flew and hit straight to the centre of the forehead to the man. His eyes widened but before he could react, his body truend limp and he fell on the ground with a thud!

William stood up and placed his feet on the injured hand of the assassin as he growled! "No one would be able to touch my daughter!

Did you hear that? She had already suffered a lot by spending her life in the slums! She would only have happiness in her life from now on even if i have to burn the whole empire to find that scumbag and kill him with my own hands!" He pressed the wand so hard that more blood started to flow from the hands that the dead person could not feel pain and react to it.

The assassin had already turned cold but William's rage was not satisfied at all. Mere the thought of Evan leaving him and then dying was enough to burn his whole body into the flames of revenge.

He had thought that the old man had spent all his life taking care of Evangeline, so he should not kill him. That was why he gave him a fortune that would not end even if he tried to buy a whole village, yet the greedy person was not satisfied and kept coming back with more and more demands!

William tried his best to bear with it, but now.. He took out hasty steps out the room but instead of going back, he walked towards the annex building where the knights were preparing to leave.

The sudden knock on the door surprised the knights as one of them stood up to open the door.

"Your highness!" They were all surprised by his sudden entrance and also when his body was stained with blood.

William was not the one who killed and even if he did.. He did not wander with the blood on his body.

"Are you ready to leave for the mission?" all the knights stood straighter in a line and nodded their heads at once!

"Good then I will be coming with you!" he entered in shock at the knights as William had not even once joined any mission. He was not the one who believed in dirtying his own hands but staying in the dark while playing mind games.

He was more dangerous than Leo who faced everything upfront but none of them had the audacity to deny their master as they nodded their heads when William entered and took the uniform of a knight from his aide and changed his clothes!

They all walked out and climbed on their horses with utter silence as they did not dare to joke or relax in front of their master who was leading them for the very first time!

"If we find their exact address, then attack on everyone else but that old man.. I will kill him with my own hands!" they all nodded as they held the reins of the horses tighter in their hands when he added,

"If we don't find them, then I will kill all of you instead!"
