Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 573 Their Secret Meeting
"Do that! Or else you will be caught. But kill all of them before they could reach her! No! I will be the one waiting and killing them all." his voice was so grave but then he paused and chuckled.
The knight felt the room was so heavy that he could not even breathe. A tornado was forming in his eyes that would destroy everything.
He felt like he had gone crazy and turned into a maniac with all those thoughts.
"And the letter! Keep one of its copy so that i could use it as the proof later.'' The knight was still surprised that Andrew was letting Eli be the bait.
With his nature, the knight was sure that he would not agree to this mission even if the danger was nil.
But who would have thought! Was he not that attracted as he had thought?
"Your highness," the curiosity gnawed his heart as he called the man, "are you not worried that his majesty would have more men around and the lady could be hurt.
I am sure her new family has not assigned many guards to her." he seems to be worried.
He had passed a few letters in that family, and he had felt that she was not much welcomed there except by the lady of the house.
Many looked at her with the eyes of doubt. She was only hanging there because Andrew had asked her.
"Hahaha!" but when he was expecting a serious reply, the young man started to laugh again, his face was still icier and the laughter only left goosebumps on the skin of the knight.
Havd his master finally gotten crazier?
"Do you think she is a fool that she would not be able to differentiate between the words i use to write a letter and the words you will use even if the art of writing letters would be the same?"
"..." the way he raised a brow and mocked the knight, left him dumbfounded. That was a personal attack!
"And do you think she did not know the danger lurking around or do you think you have the talent to sway her heart to come to the back of the palace that belongs to the lovers of my father?
You are overestimating your qualities when you have none to begin with!" his eyes were harshly cold and his mocking tone was stabbing.
"......." the man felt that she was badly wounded by the personal attack of his master but he was relieved too. He did not want the lady to fall into trouble because of him.
He nodded his head with more at ease.
"Then I will write a letter instantly and send a maid to deliver it." Andrew nodded. He was not at all worried about her coming, since he had already warned her to stay away from the palace.
They were meeting in public events and in disguise to make sure that she would not be dragged into any scandal.
As the knight left, Andrew looked out of the mirror with his eyes turned colder.
"You can all leave." he announced and soon all the knights and maids left the room and closed the door behind them.
When he was alone, he walked to his study room that was attached to his room and closed the door.
After checking a few times, he walked towards the left corner and picked the third book from the second last shelf of the ground.
The book was nothing but a lever that opened a door for him. He walked inside the dark and the door vanished behind him again.
He walked for a long time until he reached the other side of the river that was behind the palace where a horse was already waiting for him.
Taking it in the darkness, he covered his face with a cloak.
The horse soon stopped in a small town that was sleeping in the arms of darkness. He dismounted from the horse and walked towards a small house that was decorated with a big garden having all kinds of vegetables in it instead of flowers that would surprise any noble.
He only knocked twice when the door opened. Andrew walked in without a noise.
The man who had opened the door followed Andrew to the small hall. Instead of sitting on the sofa comfortably, Andrew chose a dining table.
He took out a few parchments from his bag and then spread it on the table.
The man sitting opposite him, picked one and his eyes narrowed.
He kept picking up paper one after another but the more he looked, the more deathly aura started to fill the room. In the end he was holding the parchments so tightly that his knuckles were turning white while his eyes became red with rage.
"From financial forgery in the taxation of your family, the man has already planted so many spies that Ethan would not be able to find them alone." said Andrew with a sly smile on his face, "my father is sure that he had ruined the whole family.
Even if your family members survive, the house of Thayne is going to be destroyed soon." but instead of fear, he laughed with amusement.
"Sometimes I wonder why the man could not be satisfied when he is the emperor while we are just dukes? What more did he want from us?`` If it would not have been for the greed of George, he would have been living with his real family and so Eli!
Have they ever thought how it feels to not know where you belong to!
"He is scared of you and I can not blame him. I sometimes feel that you can outgrow the current royal family anytime if you go berserk and then I have to live all my life in hiding with Eli." sighed the man as he looked out of the window.
How calm the night was! As if the tornado that would destroy all of their lives is not lurking around the corner.ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m
