Chapter 83 - Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle



To say that the man was shocked would be an understatement! He had thought that the lord would be angry and punish him. He was ready to spend a few days in prison. He had even steeled his heart to get beaten a bit. But dying! He had neve thought that he would be killed for this reason. His face turned ghastly pale, he could see his death standing in front of him with a cold face.

He fell on the ground but crawled back instinctively when the knights moved closer to him. 

"No! No! Please spare my life." he continued to shake his head and beg for mercy, but none of them was ready to listen to him. They have learnt to listen only to Leo.

"Weren\'t you anxious to die! Now why are you afraid?" asked the knight with a smirk on his face. The man was so shocked that he did not know what to do or say to save himself from these bloodthirsty demons.

Leo did not even spare him another look as he turned and walked back to the carriage. He opened the door and sat elegantly as if he had not ordered to kill a man just a minute ago.

Evan gulped, she knew that what the man did was not right. But killing him for that! Was it not a heavy punishment in comparison to his mistake. She was scared of the man sitting beside him but she could not let that happen.

"Umm, isn\'t the punishment too severe?" her eyes were still following the actions of knights who had already started tying the man from the nearby tree.

"He was the one who wanted to be trampled down, I am fulfilling his wish!" he replied with a straight face as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. Even felt stumped for words. She did not know what to reply to him? Was he crazy? How could he even come to a conclusion that the man was trying to do suicide? But she did not want to argue with him and make the matter worse.

"But wouldn\'t killing him create a horror among other citizens. What if they all started looking at us as if you are evil?" she tried to convince him when he tilted his head and finally looked at her.

His tall figure was lazily leaning on the headrest of the carriage, and he was sitting with his legs crossed.

The handsome face that was distinguished by a defined jawline was tilted to the side, accentuating his deep-set features. His whole presence exuded a regal aura. Yet he was looking no less than a devil who had come to take life on the earth to Evangeline who was precipitating profusely when he stared directly at her. She could not bear the aura he was emitting.

Just when she had thought that he was not going to reply to her, he opened his mouth and uttered three words sexily, "I am evil." 

Evan, who had opened her mouth to convince him further, shut her mouth abruptly. Did he just confess that he was an evil duke? So he did know that his actions were evil yet he was doing them with a proud face! Could he not be a bit gentle? 

She continued to cuss him in her mind and look at the man who was already bound on the tree with a panicked face. She did not want to see a murder with her own eyes. When she looked at the man again, strangely his figure overlapped hers and she saw herself bound on the tree and few crept in.

"Hiccup" she cupped at that thought. 

Leo, who was looking at her every action, smirked. He knew what passed through her pea size brain. He should still be furious at her for what she did to him and what misunderstandings it created but when he looked at her panicky face, it soothed his heart.

She was definitely feeling indignant and wanted to argue with him over the life of that servant but she was too scared to put her point freely. She was trying to flatter him to listen to her.

"Start the carriage." he ordered the coachman as he moved his gaze away from her. She jumped on her seat and gave a last look to the man who had started shouting and screaming for mercy. He was looking ashen and scared and she was sure she would be in worse condition if this would have happened with her!

She closed her eyes when the carriage moved towards the man but the sound of clashing with the man or any jerk or screaming did not sound again. She had thought that the whole carriage would shake when they trample the man but she felt nothing. 

In fact, the carriage was moving more smoothly than before. She frowned, how was this possible? Shouldn\'t the man be shouting before dying and shouldn\'t the carriage be disbalanced?

She peeked out by opening her one eye first then another. There was silence in the carriage. 

She peeked out only to find that the man could not be seen anywhere. She turned her head backwards and tried to search for the man but the road was deserted. She could not see his body or even blood on the path. Her brows knitted and she looked around only to find that the man was still bound on another path. 

They had changed their paths after binding him in front of them. 

"Phew" she took a deep breath when she realized that they had not killed him but left him after tying him on the road. But then why did he lie to her?

She looked at him only to notice that he was already staring at her. His eyes were not that cold before in fact, there was a warm smile on his face. Could this iceberg even smile? But he was looking mesmerizing with that face.

"You seem to be happy!"
