　Master Duke froze in a blinding stare at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I regretted my words after I said them out loud.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What did I ask him? ...... me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Come to think of it, Duke has never told me he loves me directly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I guess it's nothing..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said in a panic, but it was too late.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You want me to tell you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke said this with a twinkle in his eye.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You've got a kind of me-ness about you. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke is slowly approaching me.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why are you coming towards me!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You can't run around in this little room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I back away slowly toward the back, but soon I hit the window.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......Steady yourself, Alicia. You are not a bad girl if you don't act with dignity and poise at all times. That's what I tell myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I'm still defeated by Duke's tremendous pressure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Backing down is the worst kind of bad girl behavior.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All my efforts would be undone. I have to do something!　I can't let Master Duke beat me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I inspired myself and straightened my posture.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that moment, the Duke put one arm around me on the window so that I could not escape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Is this the so-called "wall-don" that was popular in my previous life?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But still, how close. I'm sure he can hear my heartbeat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Try to keep a normal heart, me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I manage to make a composed face and look up at him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... I can't believe how good looking he is from this angle. The world is so unfair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How can a man have such smooth skin? ....... It makes girls all over the world want to cry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I stared at Master Duke's face, his face turned slightly red.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What?　I can't believe it. I can't believe that Master Duke's face turned red. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Am I dreaming or something?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't stare too much."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why don't you cover my eyes with your hand if you don't like it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said with a little nasty laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke looked a little uncomfortable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess the tables are turned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see the Duke's beautiful sea-colored shiny hair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Your hair is really beautiful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said this and lightly combed Duke's hair. I had to raise my hands up quite a bit to get into the right position. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But still, how silky his hair is. Besides, it smells good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what kind of care he takes with his hair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I was touching Duke's hair, he suddenly put his hand on my cheek.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you doing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My mouth is like an octopus and I can't speak well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How embarrassing it is to be made to look like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If anyone sees me like this, my dreams of being a bad girl will be fleeting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I grabbed the Duke's arm and tried to get him to let go, but he wouldn't budge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How strong you are! The Duke sighs a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what that sigh means.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I want to lock him in."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke's forehead bumps mine. He stares straight into my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want to lock him in. ......?　That's the first time anyone's ever said that to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Master Duke weren't so beautiful, he'd be killed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if this is how the Duke really feels. I've never heard him say this before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, my heart would explode if he stared at me at such a close distance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His beastly eyes are shining as he stares at me. I feel like I'm going to be eaten.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I just need to ...... do something about this situation. My heart can't take it anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I throw my head back lightly and shake it as hard as I can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ow!　Of course, I didn't say it out loud, but I screamed in my heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke looks at me with wide eyes. Master Duke is leaning lightly on his desk, slightly out of position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......How can a head butt hurt so much?　My forehead is definitely red too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now is not the time to worry about that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I walked up to Duke and did to him exactly what he had just done to me.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I cupped his cheek between my hands and lifted the corner of my mouth a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was glad he was leaning against the desk. Otherwise I would not have been able to reach him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Locked in?　Don't be ridiculous. I've been holed up in that cabin for two years for a purpose. Your father didn't keep me here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said this as I looked into Master Duke's eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Master Duke narrowed his eyes and pulled my arm straight down. I fell into his arms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke's fragrance wrapped me softly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......Duke's smell is really good, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's supposed to be soothing and calming ......, but now it's not calming at all. My heart is dancing with energy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sorry, I almost lost it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke's clear voice rings in my ears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Why?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I said this, I heard Master Duke sigh deeply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You should be more aware that I'm drowning in you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke said in a tone of exasperation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I felt my body freeze.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, my God, my heart is beating so loud. I don't know if it's my heart or Duke's.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I know for sure that my heart is on the verge of bursting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Alicia is a woman who stands up for what she believes in, who works hard to achieve her goals, who faces the realities of the world, who is intelligent, strong, dignified and always beautiful."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke stopped when he had said that much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I felt my body heat up. I am sure that the Duke can feel my body heat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure my face looks like an apple now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My pulse becomes abnormally fast and the sound of my heartbeat becomes louder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My heart burns as if it is on fire with Duke-sama's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're a good woman!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke whispered the last words in my ear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What a killing sentence. I'm going to lose my back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Any girl would have fainted. I'm trying to keep my dignity as a bad girl, but I feel like I'm going to fall over any moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Duke let go of me and headed for the door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You brought me here and now you're leaving?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, the sooner you leave, the better for me. I don't want people to see me red like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Duke looked at me, smiled wickedly with satisfaction, and left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe ...... he was just teasing me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moment Master Duke left the room, I sat down on the spot. I didn't have the strength to stand up anymore. Thank God this was an empty room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Alicia?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A little later, Jill came into the room with a surprised look on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought about asking her sarcastically if she had finished the book, but I didn't have the strength left to say such a thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's wrong?　Duke came out of his room looking happy earlier, but then Alicia didn't come out, so I went to ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill looks into my face as she says this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Did you come out of your room looking happy?　I wonder if Master Duke knew I was going to do this and said those lines on purpose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first I thought he was kind, but in fact he's a bit of an S. ....... I'm finally starting to see Duke's true nature.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Your face is red, but you don't have a ...... fever, do you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I'll stay here until things calm down a bit."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I sat down and leaned against the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill gave a small nod and opened the window so that a breeze could enter the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A soft, cool breeze enveloped me. I felt my body temperature drop a little. My mind became calmer and more relaxed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill sat down next to me and started reading a book. Apparently, she hadn't finished her book yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill and I spent some time in the warm sunlight, in a comfortable space.
