The Duke opened his mouth seeing Luana become restless.

"Before the Emperor sent me here, he promised me one thing."

"What..what could it be?"

"He said after destroying the kingdom, if there is anything I want, I can take it."

"Well, I see. That's great! Even though the kingdom is small, there are some good treasures here."

Hey, don't think ill of me for being servile! No one will be like me in this situation. Luana was confident of giving information of whatever Alluin kingdom's treasure that the Duke desired.

"Yes, originally, I didn't really want anything."

"Really? Nothing?"

"It looks like it just happened."

The Duke, who said so, looked at Luana. Looking around, Luana pointed at herself with her fingers, sweating profusely.

"Well, you don't mean me right?"

The Duke was still looking at Luana.

"I'm not a thing."

"It's not different."

"It is very different."

"So are you saying you hate it?"

The Duke's hand headed for his sword. It seemed that if she said no, her head would be cut off immediately. Luana was scared by his sudden aura of menace.

"No! No! It's great! I love it!"

What a load of bullshit! Luana sobbed inside.

"Hey, by the way."

"What is it?"

"Is there anyone else you want besides me? A pretty princess with blond hair and blue eyes!"

First, she mentioned Ingrid, who was considered as the most beautiful among all the princesses. Even in the original novel, the Duke had a crush on her. It was quite sad that he couldn't act on it because of his loyalty to the Emperor.

"Not really?"

"Or a charming princess with red hair?"

"No, I don't think so."

"No, think again. There must be someone who makes your heart beat just by looking at her!"

So take someone like that with you! Luana looked at the Duke with an expectant look. One should believe in a man's heart rather than his appetite!

The Duke gave a troubled look and answered.

"Well, there is one person who makes my heart pound. Looking at her makes me want to torment her."

Then he looked straight at Luana.

'Why are you looking at me?'

I'll probably go crazy. The Duke was rumored to be a great sadist. She felt a bad premonition about this.

When she looked up, his eyes were fierce. Long eyelashes.. bright red eyes.. a straight elegant nose and red lips. Legion was an unusually beautiful man. He would have been very popular with young children if he could fix his poor temper.

Luana raised her hand unknowingly. But before her fingers touched the white, smooth looking skin, she hit the back of her head against the wall.

Bang!

The Duke looked bewildered at the sudden sound. But Luana had no time to care about it. It was because the back of her head was so painful that she wrapped both her arms around it and rolled around in agony.
