Bon Appetit (Manhwa)

Chapter 58

She started a contractual relationship with the duke with half a year term. Will the duke be able to fall in love with Luana within that period? It was a mystery.

"But if it remains like this in half a year, I think it'll be pointless."

Luana had just woken up, thought so in a daze. She soon put her forehead on the bedpost. The headache made her come to her senses.

'What do you mean 'pointless'?'

Yesterday, she was swept away by the duke and decided to date him, but today she was going to make him aware of reality. She is the princess of the fallen kingdom, and he is the duke of the empire! She meant to say that the two could never be together.

"You need to eat more. You said you'd make me gain weight every time, but now you're getting skinny."

In the meantime, he pushed the food in front of Luana, which was an unfamiliar act. She is okay eating all of it by herself. However, the Duke was very proud to see it.

"I won't put someone to watch you from today."

That's good, but why?

"I hear love begins with faith. So I have to believe you."

He put down his fork and looked at Luana.

"Don't run away."

'I mean, if I run away, you won't let me go. You said you'd believe me, but your actions and words are contradictory!'

But it was fortunate that he removed the raven. Because she was uncomfortable having someone she didn't know to keep monitoring her.

"I won't run away."

"Yes, I'll trust you."

"Then can I go to the market?"

"It may be dangerous. You can if a knight accompanies you."

Not long ago, it was Luana who asked for a knight. They've tried to remove the wanted list from society, but some people still looked for her, so she needed a knight to escort her.

"Alright."

Luana nodded, knowing why; she then realized she was being swept away again.

"No, wait!"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't think this is right."

"What?"

"I am the princess of the fallen kingdom, Sir... Legion."

"Legion."

"Legion is the Duke of the Empire. Don't you think we shouldn't date?"

Although the kingdom was destroyed, the people of the kingdom were still living under the empire's rule. Most of the nobles and royals from the kingdom were dead, and Luana was one of the royals who were still alive. In other words, if Luana gives birth to a child, the child will have the legitimacy to inherit the throne.

So shouldn't she avoid having a relationship like this? Besides, many ladies are more eligible for that position rather than her. Armed with a perfect theory, Luana intended to use it as an excuse to break her contractual relationship until she heard what the duke said,

"I don't care. What's the problem with me being a duke? It's not that I can't protect you."

He pulled up the corner of his mouth, and the bold figure looked very cool. Luana groaned, covering her burning face.

'Why do you look so cool?'

"More than anything, there's Ingrid. Even if she has a child, her child will have priority. You don't have to worry about something that hasn't even happened yet."
