If I Disobey the Duke - Chapter 270

Mark (5)

The door to the operating room closed lightly. The densely hung wall lamps lit up the dim treatment room with yellow light as the sun went down.

Looking at the couple coming out of the treatment room, Ingrid laughed with a smirk. She sat leisurely on the soldier’s bed. “Oh. Are you done already? I thought there was going to be a riot all night.”

Lily used Vlad as a shield to hide. She obviously had nothing to do with it, but she was ashamed of being caught in the act. Her hand gripping the back of Vlad’s uniform trembled slightly.

“It’s not that long. You guys look fine. It looks like you were just having a conversation, weren’t you?” Ingrid, who was about to poke at them with a rather vulgar joke, drooped her shoulders as if her pulse was absorbed.

“Not everyone lives in the world like Your Highness.” Vlad cut her words and stretched out his hand behind him. He signaled her to hold his hand. Lily grabbed his large hand like a lifeline. “You must leave early, but I hope you get a good night’s sleep for tomorrow.”

It was an arrogant, sloppy tone of voice.

She pretended she was as casual as possible as she stood next to him. She then bowed her knees politely towards Ingrid.

Her core was slippery and slick with every move, and her mouth was dry.

How can you be so lewd in front of a princess?

Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to come out of her mouth. “I’m sorry, Your Highness. As you know, I’ve been through a lot today… I am so tired that I want to go back for a while, so please allow me.”

“Go.”

Vlad stepped forward. At the same time, Ingrid jumped out of bed. The sound of her shoes slamming on the floor shone sharply as she approached with an alarming brisk pace.

Lily had to do her best not to backtrack on her. She held Vlad’s hand tight, but the blood drained from her face.

Even though she knew she couldn’t be seen, she seemed to be caught.

How can you face the princess in such an obscene way?

Vlad stepped protectively in front of her.

Ingrid raised her cat-like eyes to Vlad. “Are you angry with me, the princess?”

“It is none of your business.”

“Isn’t your face going to go downhill? She is so frightened and pale that she is basically being dragged away by you. What kind of threat did you make?!”

Ingrid didn’t seem to even be thinking about the blood on Marius’s forehead. To the extent that anyone could see, they would mistakenly think that Lily was her sister.

Vlad’s gaze towards such Ingrid was as cold as ice. “If Your Highness gets out of the way, her complexion will come back soon.”

“Oh, dear.” Lily walked out slightly beside Vlad. It was she who desperately put on her calm mask, hiding her trembling pulse. She lowered her voice and whispered slowly. “Nothing has happened to me, Your Highness.”

Ingrid crossed her arms and wrinkled her nose. She snorted as she dropped her toes and pounded her on the floor. “Your complexion is really bad. You seem like someone who must have something to hide. If you are being threatened, make sure to speak to me. It doesn’t seem to me that the duke is as good to you as you think.”

“I am truly grateful for your concern.”

“…Hmm. I’ll just let you go today. Go back.”

Ingrid was convinced that Vlad was very angry with Lily. As Lily greeted her with the utmost respect for her troubled consideration, Ingrid finally allowed them to step back. Vlad put Lily ahead and walked behind her. It was a position that blocked Lily from Ingrid’s view.

Lily came out into the hallway through the hole Vlad had broken. Because of the liquid constantly flowing from her secret place, she was embarrassed every time she walked.

With every step she took, she was conscious of it and felt like she was going crazy. The brief time walking in the hallway seemed to last forever. Lily took a deep breath as she collapsed when she reached the stairs to the second floor.

As the strength in her legs loosened and she staggered, he wrapped her arms around her waist. She pressed his chest against his chest. “You are a pervert.”

“I did not lie about that.”

I’ve never done this to anyone else.

Lily, unable to find anything to say against him, just shut her mouth in anger, and widened her eyes. Vlad smiled at her and walked her into a cool wall. He stretched out one of her arms and locked her between the wall and himself.

“We have to climb two more flights to get to the bedroom. If you look at me like that now… It’s quite troublesome, Lily.” He lowered his voice and placed his hand on her waist.

As she flinched he swiped his lowered palm and touched her hip bone. With a gasp of breath, she closed her own mouth in her haste. The gesture of her sweeping her pelvis was bizarre.
