Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 462 What Is Going On?(Chapter Preview)

"I do not understand why my father purchased property over my name suddenly. Is he trying to secure my future!" she mumbled under her breath as she returned to her room to get dressed for the town.

She knew that her father was worried about her so much but she did not want to look weak. She wanted to be strong enough to handle herself if the trail asked her to leave home.

Nobility had strict rules and they did not let commoners mix with them.

When they came to know that Leo was a commoner and not their brother, they already knew that he would be thrown out of the palace as he had no blood relations with them.

Above that, he would lose his ranking among the knights too. The best thing was Evan was already in love with Leo, so they got married before the truth came out.

As the son in law of the duke, Leo had all the right to live with them. But.. that was not the case with her!

She was not in love with Ethan and so was Ethan!

Once the truth would come out, her marriage with Andrew would be annulled. That was why she had already broken his heart.

Though she felt hurt like hell and burdened as she had pained the man who truly loved her. It was for his best. She did not want him to fight with the world for her.

? This is not some fairytale book and she was not Cinderella where everything would end up best for her and she could have her happily ever after.

There were many vassal's eyes on the position of Andrew already. Not to forget the father's recent grudge against them.

If he fought to marry her, then this would be the end of his future.

But more than that, she was hurt because she had to leave this family too. Even if she was not a noble anymore, she would not have felt that emptiness which she felt when the thought of being thrown out of her home crossed her mind.

If she was not a Thawyne then who was she? She did not even want to know who her true family was. Because the word family only brings the images of these people in her mind.

But she had felt a sense of hostility from Ethan today. And now father was buying a property for her in the town where rich commoners live.

Did that mean he was making a plan or had he already decided to send it there.

"My lady, you are looking pale. Are you alright?" The maid could not help but ask when she saw Eli holding the earring so tightly in her hands as if she was holding the neck of an enemy.

"Why? Yes, I am fine." she let go of the earrings only to see the blood in her palms. She was so lost that she did not notice when she held them.

Scratch that! She didn't even remember when she reached the room and sat in front of her vanity table.

"Oh my, you have hurt yourself. Wait a minute, I will bring the bandage.`` The maid ran out of the room when Eli stared at the wound. The blood was seeping out slowly as the wound was too shallow just like her life that had no meaning left.

"Here" the maid came running and cleaned her wound with cotton before bandaging it properly.

After that she started making her hair again only then did Eli notice that the maid had taken out one of the sensuous dresses that Eli did not know she had.

Not only that she was wearing her rare jewels that she hardly wears on rare occasions and she was smelling like flowers.

Though she always used fragrance but this was way too much. It felt like she was prepared for attending the marriage dinner rather than a simple visit to the town.

The maid panicked when she noticed the frown forming on the face of the lady and coughed hard.

"Is the look not upto your liking my lady?" even her hair was glimmering with so many diamonds that Eli did not know how to reply to that question.

Anyone with an eye could see how sensually dressed she was. With the cold wind on her back, she already knew that she was wearing a backless dress with such a deep neck and that slit! Oh my!

"That, yes! I think the dress is too revealing. Bring me a sober dress and take out all the jewels from my hair. I am not going for a royal function." she commanded when the maid looked a bit hesitant.

"Al. Alright, wait a minute, I will bring another dress. But before the maid could leave the door knocked and the same knight peeped.

"My lady, the lord would not like to wait this much. Are you ready?" she pursued her lips as she knew her father is not in a good mood these days

He would definitely scold the knights if she would be late to take out his anger but this clothes!

"Sigh! Yes, I am ready. I request you to escort me where my father is waiting for me." like a flower that had been parched for ages and finally received the water, the face of the dull maid who had turned pale bloomed again as she brought her heels with a bright smile on her face.

Eli gave one last look to herself in the mirror with a displeased smile and walked out of the room towards the carriage.

"My lady, since you didn't get enough time to eat, I have prepared some refreshments and juice for you in the carriage. Please make sure to have your fill.

Who knows how much time it would take in the town." Eli nodded and finally her mood uplifted as she saw all her favorite dishes.

"Alright, I will be back soon." With that the carriage started and left the place when the maid shook her head with a mischievous smile on her face. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

"Oh no, you would not!"
