Why Are You Doing This, Duke? Volume 1 Chapter 3 part8-10

Part 3: The Spring Breeze in the Mountains (8)

Er-in looked up at the peacock and carefully touched the gray-haired carac that had fallen on his forehead. Her eyes were as transparent as a spray of sunlit bar. Lowering her fingertips from the straight forehead and stroking along the long brows, he followed and groped her face. The warm body temperature and silky texture of the hand somehow made my teeth feel stiff and choked.

“Lex?”

“Yes.”

“What’s the standard?”

“What criteria? “

“…… That’s the standard by which you fall in love with me.”

Originally, she wanted to say what the criteria for magic to be triggered, but Erin, who can’t speak of those words, changed her words. She must have been a little impatient with the Duke who did the same thing even though he saw something that almost fell. When she see Lex, who is worried about her, her heart feels like it’s getting cold.

The Duke leaned his head and whispered low as he looked into the books.

“There is no standard. Of course I love you. It’s like a bee flying endlessly in search of flowers, like a city liver as if it were flowing through the city without having to be seen.”

Like magic is magic. Erin murmured into him and sadly touched his cheeks.

‘Oh, what’s wrong with me? You can’t do this!’

She clasped her hands as she tried to become depressed.

“Lex, there’s something I want to try.”

“Just say anything.”

“I’m going to try to get a book that’s as high as this one- oh, not now!”

As soon as she pointed out, she shook her head to the Duke who pulled out the book.

“You’re watching from the back, and you’re supposed to bring this out with a funny face?”

“It’s not funny at all. You’re so short that I can’t help but feel sorry for you.”

Erin, who was attacked for a moment by the truth, paused for a moment, shook her head, grabbed her arm, and stepped back.

Erin deliberately stepped up and pretended to take out a book on a high level. The Duke, who had stood back, came at once and stood close behind her. A mint of fresh water mixed with sweet musk gave off a strong scent. He stretched out his long arm and asked in a ringing voice, holding the book over her hand. 

“You need this, Songbird?” 

“Oh, Your Grace. Thank you.” 

“You’ve got wings, so you can fly. You’ve been waiting for my help?”

Erin, who was excited about the duke’s close-up back, froze at the unexpected remark. Lex, showing the ultimate affection so much that she couldn’t follow, seemed to know then if he taught one. It was really burned! But why not tell?

But when Erin turned, the duke looked down at her and didn’t stop. Why? When Erin smiled and confronted him, he frowned.

“By the way, Erin, I can’t stand it anymore.” 

“What?”

Instead of answering, the Duke licked his lips with his tongue and mysteriously lowered his eyes.

Erin, whose heart fluttered down, thought the magic had broken again in his frown, belatedly felt something wrong with his lower body. When did you get so big? When she gaze down unknowingly, the Duke blushed at the tip of his ear and sidetracked her gaze. The color of the eyes covered by the long gray eyelashes has thickened with lust.

“I’ve been like this ever since I came here looking for you. Now that I’ve found the flower that was burning me, the bee will stop committing the petals–“

She missed this opportunity, so she quickly kissed him.

“Okay! Come on! “

The Duke, holding her in his arms, rushed out of the library. But Erin pointed to the sofa.

“Lex, I think it’s fine there!”

“You’re going to be uncomfortable.”

“It’s better than a bee chasing a flower suddenly turning into a beast and brightening it.”

As she said, the Duke, who lay Erin on the couch, looked down and asked.

“Can I prey once? I feel like that today. “

“Oh, how do you feel?”

“It’s very urgent. And standing fiercely, and I want you to lick everything from your head down to your toes.”

The duke ho kissed her lips as if to swallow, breathed wildly. The dark eyes looked fierce with the frown of a fine-looking brow. Still, his hands were wrapped tightly around her waist, with the other hand hanging over her dress button and falling below the sofa.

“How do you think it’s important to love? “

“Then please excuse me.”

A smiling Duke, glistening in her eyes, kissed a bird out loudly from her lips to the forehead. s soon as she shrank back from the itch, the man’s massive weight was overlaid on her body. In his hot and passionate gesture, Erin was soon engulfed in a hot paradise.

“Oh, after all. There’s no such thing as magic book.”

Erin looked at the library inventory list and looked at all the books with similar titles. The amount was enormous enough to take a whole few weeks.

But the result was a failure. There are books that refer to sorcery and spells, such as the fairy tale book of magic, how to tackle Gilt’s robe, and the stationery book of the eastern continent, etc. There was no direct narrative of ‘magic’. 

‘Is it natural?’

Magic was the age of alchemy, which would be dismissed as a fictional story. Rather, more books were written about the dragon that appeared only in legends.

‘I’m going to go to the other bookstore.’

Erin, who was about to prepare and depart with Mary, happened to meet with the duke who was leading the crowd in the hall on the ground floor.

“Erin.”

They greeted her and then stepped back and to make room for them.

“I’m thinking of going out to the market today.”

“Then shall I come with you? “

“No, it’s okay. You’re busy. I’ll be back soon. “

Seeing his eyes shine at her, Erin frowned at him. It was her small wish to date the Duke. But today she was going to go to an antique bookstore in the innermost market of the city outside the castle, but it was too conspicuous when she went with the Duke whose face was known. Lex, who was refuse to go several times, made a regretful expression when she shook her head, but didn’t ask any more.

“I don’t want to let you go, but shouldn’t I just do it today?”

 But even if it’s not a long separation. He held her hands together as if she were going to go for a long time and did not let go easily. As the couple’s conversation grew, the people around them, who had initially pretended to be unseen, began to tap their tired legs as they stood for a long time.

“The Duke is really the ideal husband. It’s just the attitude of treating you, even if the conditions are the only thing that really excites the girl.”

On the way in the carriage, Mary, who was helping her dress up as a commoner, blurted out.

“What is it?”

“You look like the main character from a romance novel at some point. Maybe you know how women feel.”

Erin laughed vaguely. It wasn’t, but the enchanted behavior was her preference found in romance novels. Maybe it’s a magical power.

‘So, how do he deal with the original woman?’

“Did you not hear what he do to other ladies?”

“Oh, not at all. Sir Rezil says he’s polite, but he’s not smiling, and he’s never asked for a word before.”

Erin smiled slightly. Mary probably didn’t want to end up considering her heart, but she knew that the Duke’s relationship with the Duchess was not smooth before marriage. She had heard the maids chatting about her in the early days of her honeymoon.

“What does Your Grace like? I don’t know at all except green eyes.” 

“The green eyes are green too, the most direct color of your women. Pretty Palladine.” 

“That’s annoying, so why not pick everyone? I’ve gone to the girl who was chasing you!”

“I’d rather choose someone else. The legend of Duchess of Peruka, who was famous for her beauty for generations, was broken.”

She knew that the Duke’s taste was a green-eyed woman, but until then she didn’t care deeply about the Duke, so she was more concerned with the maids were more concerned with hating her with the word. For some time, the portraits of the former duchess in the detached hall could not be seen properly.
