If I Disobey the Duke Chapter 65

Beginning of the Attestation (4)

Vlad let out a deep sigh, got up, and pulled the blanket up to Lily's chin.

It was the first time he had felt an extraordinary feeling of irritability and relief at the same time.

“I'm going out for a moment.”

Lily nodded her head abruptly. Her face heated up, and her heart was beating so loudly that she couldn't hear his voice clearly.

He got out of bed and drew the curtains to shield Lily.

She crawled into the blanket and curled up like a shrimp. She was really glad he was wearing pants.

Did he notice? Her reaction seemed like it…

Wet.

The moist, slippery feeling between her legs was definitely her own.

She was embarrassed that she wanted his body.

Though, to be honest, she would rather be like a person who only wanted his body…

Lily shook her head as if trying to erase her thoughts.

The silhouette of a vast, muscled back moved away toward the doorway. It looked like he was getting a report through a crack in the door.

What are you talking about?

She pricked her ears, but couldn't hear anything from a distance.

“Obviously, I would have ordered it. Don't bother me with things like this.” Vlad's voice was gloomy. He was a completely different person from how he dealt with Lily.

The messenger continued the report without even making eye contact. “She said she would rather kill herself than go back without seeing you…”

“Then let her kill herself.”

The messenger shut his mouth. Did his master know how to read the atmosphere? The eerie surroundings made it hard for him to eke his words out.

There was no one who was unaware of the master's fierce hatred for the imperial family.

When the imperial flags were sent to Cadis, the knights held them as if they were time bomb and passed them on to each other quickly.

“She told me to tell you because it was the request of the Crown Princess for you to return.”

After a thousand years of silence, Vlad clenched his teeth. “I'll be out soon.” Taking a deep breath, as if trying to calm his vicious momentum, he closed the door.

He didn't stop his tracks. He quietly sat on the bed where Lily had rolled the blanket.

Fortunately, she was wearing the negligee again, but she was dizzy for a moment.

He imagined what he would do if he saw the tip of his naked wife's fingernails near another guy. It would drive him crazy.

Vlad slowly approached Lily. “Did you hear me?”

She shook her head, fortunately.

Lily's vivid green eyes looked up at him from her position. The shade had not changed at all in fifteen years. Bizarrely, he wanted to touch them.

All the times they couldn't meet properly were a waste.

“Are you going to work?”

“It won't take long. You might be free while resting in your room. If there is something you want to do, I will send it to you, so please feel free to tell me.”

Lily glanced into his eyes.

I want to do…

“Erm, Tristan…”

Vlad's mood was shattered.

Yeah. Of course, that question had to be asked. He knew it well, but…

It provoked his irrationality.

Even so, he did not reveal the truth behind his twists and turns. If one expressed oneself, the other would withdraw like a mimosa.

He waited silently for Lily's words to continue with a dull expression on his face.

Lily spoke carefully. “Can I see him?”

“…If you want. You don't have to ask for permission.” Vlad spit out his words.

What should I do to keep calm?

In the first place, he had no intention of killing the man, but he certainly didn't care if he accidentally chopped off his hand or neck.

Due to Lily, he left things as they were, but…

“You said he was a serious criminal who broke the law. I want to know the full story in detail. I didn't know such a thing existed…”

“I told you I had something in mind in exchange for pardoning him, Lily.”

On the first day that Lily came to his office, she said that even while she was about to give up.

[He has a fairly high position at the Isles so I thought it wouldn't be good…]

Lily seemed to be contemplating something. After a brief deliberation, she looked up at him again. “I want to know what he did first.”

He stroked Lily's forehead with his fingertips. He ran through the fine hair that tickled the tips of his fingers and tucked her hair behind her ear.

The slender neck that had been covered with silver hair was partly revealed.

At the affirmative answer, Lily's lips widened slightly.

When will I be able to see this woman acting selfishly and calculatingly?

As he savored his wife's hair with his fingertips, he slowly released his hand. “I will instruct someone to take you to the parlor. It's too cold to go outside the castle.”

He also commanded them to wash her and dress her up.

That felt nice.

I said what I wanted to do, and you called for escorts.

Only the messenger waiting eagerly to take the lord to Cadis quickly became paler at the amount of orders.
