In the Middle of The Night in the Duke’s Residence - Chapter 104

After Story 1. Honeymoon (7) – unedited

Leonhardt made fun of the Marquis’ residence’s strict security in broad daylight and went straight into the bedroom where the Marquis was resting for a while. When he woke the sleeping Marquis by tapping him, he woke up horrified to see Leon.

“Sir, Sir Leonhardt Verdick?!”

“Yes.”

“How, how are you here…… ! Did Duke Verdick send you?”

Marquis Dortmund was in a cold sweat. At first, he wondered how Leon was able to get here. And then he wondered how he could save himself from death. But seeing that it was quiet outside, there was no one to help him, and he was convinced of his death.

“No. I have come to ask you a favor.”

“Wh, what…….”

Why the hell is Leon coming to his bedroom like this instead of just through the front door? Even if it was normal, it was time for him to work in the office. He was in the bedroom because he was tired today. Still, Leon coming to see him meant that he could go in and out of the mansion as if it was his.

“I heard you are planning things.”

“How, how do you do that!”

“Do you think that’s important now?”

Very secretly, he was working with a small number of like-minded people with a heavy mouth. Even so, the Marquis thought it was impossible for things to spread, but the opponent was Verdick. He fell silent the moment he found out he had been caught even before the work began.

“Well, then? What is your request without killing me?”

“Three weeks. Stay still for three weeks. Do whatever you want after that.”

“…… Is that really okay?”

“Yes.”

Leonhard had nothing more to wish for if this person would be quiet during the three weeks. After that, his brother will come back and take care of it anyway. Contrary to what the Marquis feared, his brother had never sent him to take care of anyone.

“I, I see. I’ll stay still, like dead.”

“Good. If you break your promise…… I will come back anytime.”

During Evanstein’s absence, he was willing to get rid of the Marquis if he harmed Verdick. It didn’t matter if the lives he took were increased by one more, as he had taken many lives in the war so far. Because the most important thing was for his love, Aristasia Verdick, who will live forever as Verdic, to be comfortable.

“I’ll keep, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Marquis Dortmund nodded his head madly. Leonhardt, who saw it with satisfaction, went out the window. Only after he disappeared did Marquis Dortmund let out a deep sigh. He aged ten years more. He had experienced the fear of death, and his hair seemed to turn gray.

In the not-too-distant future, Evan’s lieutenants will receive strange news. About Marquis Dotrmund, who was the backbone of the group they were paying attention to the most. An unbelievable story of how he separated himself from the group he belonged to. And even that the Marquis took a long vacation and left as if he was running away to his estate.

Evan’s lieutenants won’t even know why Marquis Dortmund did this. It was because Leonhardt went alone with Marquis Dortmund without being noticed by anyone. After a long time passed, and after Evanstein Verdick returned to the capital, Evan would be able to understand it only after he knew the story that ‘Leonhardt met Marquis Dortmund’.

No matter when they found out, Marquis Dortmund had no choice. He had already been caught by Duke Verdik, but even if three weeks had passed, what could he do? It was no different from being in Duke Verdick’s palm anyway. Besides, what about Leon Verdick’s words? His last words sounded like he was saying, ‘The next time you see me again, then you’ll be dead.’

After realizing the limit of his ability, the Marquis thought of living according to the world as if nothing had happened after cooling his head.

(Note: to avoid confusion of the two seemingly similar knights’ commanders, here’s a simple explanation. So Leonhardt is the commander of the 황실기사단, the knights’ order that is exclusively for the imperial palace/family. While the new-father is the commander of the 제국기사단, the knights’ order that’s for the whole empire.)

Leonhardt summarized it in just one sentence.

“I told him to stay still.”

Evan was momentarily taken aback by the information that was omitted so much, but he let it go. The important thing now was not that Leon had talked with Marquis Dortmund. But the fact that Leonhard Verdick was here.

Thinking that all important conversations were over, Leon’s hand caressed Aris’s thigh and moved gradually inward. He placed his hand on the clitoris above it, not the vagina, where Evan’s penis which he had no intention of pulling out was stabbed in.

“Because Sister likes to have the two places touched at the same time.”

A satisfied sigh escaped Aris’ mouth as Leon’s hand touched it.

“Huhh…….”

“Sister, did you wait?”

“Leon.”

“Yes.”

Leon left a mark of his lips on the nape of her neck very naturally, as if they had been together from the beginning. It seemed like he was covering up what Evan had left behind. And he gently touched Aris’ chest.

As Aris’ attention turned to Leon, Evan sighed lightly and kissed Aris on the lips. It’s disapproving that Leon has come, but what can he do when he’s already here? He had to be more concerned not to lose his wife, Aris.

However, Evan had one question that could not be answered.

“Leon.”

“Yes.”

“You…… How did you come to this island?”

Evan was thorough. He bought all the good enough ships from nearby ports that could get to this island in case Leon comes. But he couldn’t figure out how Leon got here.

“I was going to come by boat, but there was no boat I could get on.”

“Then?”

“I came by swimming.”

“…… that distance?”

“Yes.”

Aris laughed along with Leon’s pleasant laugh. There was only one person who couldn’t laugh at it, Evanstein. He couldn’t understand how Leon could swim this distance. It took half a day to come by boat, so how did he come by swimming?

“How?”

“I’m a Sword Master.”

Damn Sword Master. Damn Leonhardt Verdick.
