Chapter 8

“I’m sorry, Archduke.”

Emilia, the maid, struggled to get up from her trembling body and picked up the things that spilled out of the basket. However, she was still too afraid of the Grand Duke in front of her to raise her head. But she was miserable. She really didn’t know. It hadn’t been long since she had been here, so she hadn’t been aware of the warning not to go in when the Archduke was training at the private gymnasium.

‘Black. It’s such an important matter, why didn’t anyone tell me? Did you think you would know for sure?’

Emilia internally resented the many senior servants who hadn’t told her in advance. But the important thing is right now. Anyone could see that the grand duke’s anger in front of her was raging. It’s because of her too.

“You wish you had left it in the office. Are you saying you’re going to protest, Emilia?”

“Oh, no, Grand Duke! I won’t protest, I mean how can I dare say such scary words…, huh? Uh uh.”

Emilia raised her head in surprise at the dare to protest. Hangming, in the northern lands, if the Grand Duke wanted to, it was a serious crime. Absolutely no, no such thing. It was the moment when she grew up short no matter how quickly she prayed. But why did Emilia stop talking and stutter like a broken person without even answering the question? The crying stopped, and the clear green eyes looked shocked.

Her heart swayed like her wavy hair. Even as the pupils were shaking like an earthquake, Emilia’s gaze was directed to one place. It was Calix’s bare chest. He hadn’t been aware of it until now due to his anger, but he was belatedly aware of the situation at her broken gaze, and he was startled.

“Damn it, damn it. What are you looking at now!”

Calix was stunned at the fact that someone else had discovered his denture nipples that have never been revealed.

He wanted to forget his anger, go into a mouse hole right away, or throw it all away and disappear somewhere far away. But he couldn’t. Because he was the owner of Winter Castle here.

“Grand, Grand Duke. I’m fine.”

Emilia’s gaze left Calix and stared into the empty space beside it. “Still, at least indoors it would have been better if you did it secretly.”

The murmuring that followed was swallowed with a small mumble that could only be heard. As Calix’s face flushed red as if it would explode in an instant, Emilia came forward to try to rectify the situation. It was because she found out why he was so angry, banned entry every time he came here, and tried to keep it a secret.

“What are you okay with?”

“I will never speak out about my master’s personal preferences, Grand Duke.”

“Personal…, taste? how dare, how dare you…!”

Even so, how can you say that someone else’s physical complex is a preference? She said ‘dare’, but Calix’s shoulder, which had been hurt earlier than his anger, drooped. Emilia was lost on what to do. Of course, the grand duke in front of her was scary, but he was so big that he had drooping shoulders. If you think about it, the Grand Duke was just enjoying his secret taste alone in his own space.
