Chapter 2
Translated by Niks
” You…you woke up already.”
His gaze stayed on .
I didn’t say anything, but the tension seed to wrap my body.
Soon his lips opened.
“I want to give a reward to my benefactor.”
I’ll kill you right away, saying I’ll be respectful, with the sa terrifying expression…
I was scared, even though I’m not nervous.
But I’ve been waiting for this mont all this ti!!
I said confidently.
“A re-..reward? T-that’s go-..good!”
He will beco a problem to my brother’s revenge, so I have to snack as much as possible.
Originally, even if other people return the favor, It’s still annoying that you can’t get it comfortably. Plus, the Duke particularly has a fearso atmosphere. I was scared…!
“I-if so then, I am your benefactor. I have one little and precious request.”
The Duke tilted his head at an angle and stiffened.
“I will listen.”
“Well, I think it will be a long conversation. Can we talk sowhere else? This house is small and a little shabby…”
It’s better to talk about at Duke’s Castle, rather than at the Iron-blooded fortress of the Gold District (which is forbidden to humans)
I endured trying to say that.
Because he hasn’t revealed that he is the duke.
Besides, doesn’t it seem too easy to confess your heart?
However, God seed to be on my side.
“My house is near here. If possible, we can go there and talk.”
I don’t know why, but things were working out my way.
“Then, will I enter the Duke Castle as a benefactor who saved the Duke as planned?”
Once I step into the Duke Castle, it will be easier to say, “Please let work at the office of the treatnt center !”
The Shapeshifters hate and despise humans, but they can’t even spit ferociously at the duke’s benefactor.
If I catch the spies while working at the internal treatnt center in Duke’s Fortress and steal details of their background, then my mission is complete!
After all the calculations, I nodded with a sorrowful look.
Every ti his gaze t mine, his breathing was weird, but it didn’t matter.
I inhaled violently and shouted as if to cheer up.
“Yes! It’s good to go to the mansion and talk.”
Wait, does it look too urgent?
But strangely…
“Yeah.”
The Duke seed more skeptical…. In his fierce eyes, he replied without hesitation.
I tilted my head in a strange sense of incongruity, but he suddenly took my hand.
He held my hand tightly.
His difficulty in breathing disappeared at the touch of our hands.
“What…?”
I can’t discern this situation, what’s with this sudden situation.
At that mont, his blank face leaned in front of my face, and his nose and mine were close enough to touch.
“I was waiting for you to say that.”
And I think that’s what we’re waiting for.
More than that.
“..·…You waited for to speak?”
Aren’t things going too easy than I thought?
Is this a trap card?
I gathered all kinds of doubts from the altar, and I was on the lookout for putting up all of my breath.
Then he whispered in a slightly harsh voice.
“Yes, I waited.”
I was even more terrified.
There was a guillotine in the castle that executed humans only a decade ago.
Can you enter this easily?
It’s completely suspicious…?
“Calm down, Astel”
Even though it seems more dangerous than Duke Anais had guessed, it shouldn’t be embarrassing for so reason, even if this situation feels like a lovely trap.
In preparation for eting him, I wrote a script and practiced acting.
I straightened my face and smiled nicely.
His gaze glanced over my face.
“Do you know ?”
“No, I don’t know.”
I took off my pretense and showed a confident expression.
“You seed to know who I was, but I guess it’s not.”
“No, I don’t! Never!”
And there was one more thing.
“I can’t expect anything, even a little.”
The Duke’s eyes were narrowed, but he no longer asked questions of doubt.
Instead, he slowly spoke to .
“We will go to the Duke of Anais Castle.”
“Yeah…?”
“Because that castle is my ho.”
As far as I knew, he was cold and sober and more aristocratic.
Those perfectly drowsy eyes were staring openly at , with no way to bend with laughter.
As I had prepared, I replied that the ambassador of the treatnt warden had saved Duke Anais from the original ” Blood Revenge.”
“If the castle is your ho then…you are the Duke of Anais?.”
He raised his head and spoke.
“That’s right.”
It was a very concise answer.
I put my hand in front of my chest and sighed.
“I have saved Duke Anais! It is the honor of the family. By the way, it was really close to a great crisis in the Northern Duchy. Thank God, I’ve saved your life with the greatest of my ability.”
It seed a bit shady but I couldn’t help to not do it.
“…”
“I thought you’re going to die soon, so I didn’t even notice your handso appearance because I was just focusing on the treatnt. Haha”
This dialogue contained a lot of information from the ambassador’s words who saved the duke in the original.
I am not selfish and it was pure coincidence that I had saved him.
Also, I am a perfect human being, and I am a smart gold trader.
After this was an unseen video.
(N: details of the original which was not ntioned the author literally used the word video)
Similar to the original content, he will say, “Okay. Then the detailed story We will share at the Duke Castle.”
With my glistening eyes, the Duke nodded wearily.
And he replied with a sincere glance as if chewing on the information contained in the previous words.
“I’m handso.”
“Yes, you’re a duke you know…?”
Of course, it is the right thing to say.
Now is not the ti to say that…!
However, before he could even point out his reaction that seed to be out of focus, the Duke opened his mouth first.
“Then, please tell your na, my dear benefactor.”
Now I have the opportunity to tell him my na.
A little suspicious and sothing strange ca and went. As a result, I did it.
I opened my mouth and trying to say my na.
“Astel, please call Astel! I’m a commoner working at a treatnt center outside the Duke Castle.”
He answered simply.
“Yeah, alright.”
I was worried that his attitude would change because I was a low-status commoner, but fortunately, there was no such thing.
At last, his languid eyes t mine.
“Astel.”
As he called my na in an indifferent tone, my heart thumped and went down, and my face turned red.
Why do I suddenly feel like my heart pricks?
My breathing kept getting quicker, and it felt like sothing was pressing my chest with an awl.
As a healer, I had unknown chest pain.
“I never fell in love at first sight, but my heart is very uncomfortable.”
I was in doubt, but the duke reached out to .
I casually put my hand over his hand.
“I’ll go to the Duke’s Castle and talk.”
It was a polite escort that didn’t seem to contain even a little selfishness.
However, when I touched him, a cool energy ca up from my fingertips and cald the mild fever that was burning my forehead.
What is this..??
