The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

"Selina...princess."

Escrito's face darkened: "Why did you prepare a gift for Princess Serena?"

Celeste noticed that Escrit's tone had changed, looked back at him, and found that his expression was particularly dissatisfied, and sighed: "I think you should know that Princess Serena is my fiancee."

"so?"

Escrit answered coldly: "Have you forgotten the relationship between us?"

Celeste frowned, and said as a matter of course: "The relationship between us does not affect the fact that she is my fiancee."

For nobles, having a lover in addition to their partner is almost a customary rule. Celeste grew up under the influence of this environment, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

"Honey, you are my lover, Princess Serena is my wife, there is no conflict." Celeste tried to reason with him, "Besides, for you, I have decided not to find another lover gone."

He felt that he had already made a big compromise, "I need to have my family, and you will have your family sooner or later, but this does not hinder the two of us."

"absurd!"

Escrito stood up, his face was full of jealousy and resentment: "I fell in love with you, and then you turned around and married someone else, but you still think it's okay?"

He took a deep breath to calm himself down: "I think love is between two people, I don't want anyone else between you and me, I won't marry other women, and I ask Neither do you."

Celeste frowned, he found it difficult to understand Escrit's words: "Yes, I am in love with you, but I am not in love with Princess Serena, there will be no other people between us, So what is there to be angry about?"

Escrito didn't seem to be able to understand what Celeste said, he took a step forward to envelop Celeste, his tall figure and the expression on his face made him look aggressive, "Since you don't talk to Celeste Princess Na is in love, so why do you still want to marry her?"

"For the continuation of the family."

Celeste suppressed her temper and said patiently: "I need an heir to inherit my surname, glory and wealth. My marriage with Princess Serena is a union between two families. Princess Serena It will be my responsibility, I will take care of her like a family member, not to mention, she also has the right to find a lover, Princess Serena and I will not have love, although we live under the same roof, we will only develop Out of affection."

He paused, and considering that it hadn't been long since Escritt got the title of nobility, he added a sentence: "Most noble marriages are like this, there are only responsibilities and obligations between husband and wife, and family affection, and love rarely arises. "

"So, what's the problem?" Celeste felt that he had explained it in detail enough, "I'm in love with you, and I promise that I only love you, isn't that enough?"

"Of course not enough!"

Escrit seemed to have run out of patience, he angrily tore up the gift list drawn up by Celeste, "I won't allow it!"

Celeste looked at his lover calmly, "I think I understand what you think, but this is wrong." He said, "Excessive jealousy is not good."

"Excessive jealousy?"

Escrit seemed to have calmed down, but the tight corners of his mouth and the fury flashing in his eyes showed his true emotions, "You call this 'excessive jealousy'?"

"Very good, very good, I'm just too jealous, so what?"

Escrito sneered, a thought flashed through his mind, and he said coldly, "I won't allow you to marry other women."

A strange smile appeared on his face: "As for the family, you and I can just form a family, and the child..."

Escrit seemed to be reminded of something, and his tone contained cold excitement: "I don't want a child, but if you want, I can do it."

"Don't forget, I know some 'wonderful little tricks', if you want a child, why not have one with me, you can even put forward specific requirements for the child, male or female, its appearance, its talent ...I can control everything, and I will definitely let you have a satisfactory heir."

Following his words, Celeste's face became paler and paler, and he couldn't help but step back, threatening weakly: "I advise you not to go too far."

"Is this too much?"

Escrito seemed to be unable to understand Celeste's meaning, "You want a marriage, that's fine; you want an heir, and I tried to find a way, but you didn't think I was caring, but blamed me for being too much? My dear Your Excellency, you can't be so unreasonable."

Celeste's expression was ugly: Escrito's meaning was very clear, he only gave two choices, either stay with him without getting married, or marry with him.

"You know, I would love to marry you if I could."

Celeste lowered her eyes, "But marriage can only be between a man and a woman."

If this conversation had happened in the past, then Celeste would never have fallen into such a passive situation. He could have ordered Escrit to shut up, but now, Escrit's status is not what it used to be, he is no longer It's the knight leader who needs to rely on others.He is now the Marquis of Smedley of the Os Empire, and has the right to talk to Celeste on an equal footing.

"This is not a problem."

Escrit didn't budge, "The difference between males and females is actually not that big, you don't need to worry about this, I will arrange everything."

"...so I don't have a choice, do I?"

Celeste said coldly: "That's great, Marquis Smedley, I'm amazed at your thoughtfulness."

His Excellency the Duke unilaterally announced the end of the conversation: "Go out."

Escrito gave him a deep look, "Princess Serena will soon no longer be your marriage partner."

A smile appeared on his pale and handsome face: "It's so sad, isn't it? You can't order me to go away anymore, huh?"

"go out!"

Ignoring Celeste's ugly face, Escrito walked up to him and gently pecked and kissed his cheek a few times, "If this is your wish, I will abide by it."

He put on his white gloves politely, bent over and made a farewell ceremony: "Then, I wish you a sweet dream."

Then, he turned around and disappeared into the vast night.

However, early the next morning, as if nothing had happened, Escrito came to Celeste's bedroom again. Before falling asleep last night, Celeste locked the doors and windows tightly, But this can't stop Escrit's footsteps.

Celeste was half asleep, and vaguely saw Escrit's face, and he woke up immediately, looking at the uninvited guest expressionlessly, "What are you here for?"

Escrit didn't mind his indifference. He took out a whole set of outing clothes from Celeste's closet, including a white shirt, vest, long coat, and cape. He chose and matched a set by himself, and then Take them out, "It's time for you to get up."

"It seems that you still cannot forget the habits you acquired as a servant."

Celeste stabbed him, and Escrit smiled at this and replied gently: "You are right, I will never forget the time I served by your side."

"I understand your desire to sleep a little longer." Escrit continued, "But now, you really should get up."

"In three hours, you will be on your way to the Os Empire."

Escrit lowered his eyes, and the arc of his lips gradually widened: "However, if you want to continue sleeping, then I don't mind carrying you into the carriage while you are sleeping."

He made a gesture to put down the clothes in his hand, "I always respect your choice."

"……stop."

Celeste sat up abruptly: "Isn't there still two weeks left?"

Escrit stood there, smiling and saying nothing.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Escrit: "This is your revenge? Very good, I didn't realize that your revenge is so strong before."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Escrit responded casually: "The departure time is always today, two weeks later? I'm afraid you made a mistake."

"so--"

Lord Smedley curled his scarlet lips. "Would you like to get up, or sleep on?"

"……rise."

Escrito dressed him happily, and when he knelt down halfway to put on socks for Celeste, Celeste narrowed his eyes and kicked him on the shoulder with a slight force in his calf.Without raising his eyes, Escrito precisely grasped Celeste's dishonest foot with his right hand, and put the socks on very calmly.

"You hurt me."

Your Excellency the Duke, the villain first complained, never mentioning the behavior that he tried to kick him just now.

"is it?"

Escrito smiled, "Sometimes pain is not a bad thing." He deliberately increased the strength of his hand, and it really hurt Celeste. Celeste gasped, subconsciously I struggled hard, but it was in vain, Escrit held tightly.

"Be good, my dear lord."

Escrito said slowly: "Or, do you want to try my other methods? Don't forget, you are not my master now, and you will soon leave this country that can shelter you alone .”

"At that time, what you want is not up to you."

He stood up and looked at Celeste condescendingly, "Obviously, in order to curb the development of the San Pedro Empire, the Aussian Empire has a good reason to detain the Crown Prince of San Pedro, if it really happened, you don't have to Worry."

The Marquis of Smedley showed a malicious smile: "When the time comes, I will take you to my mansion and take good care of you."

Celeste couldn't help opening his eyes wide, he pulled Escrit's cuff, and said with a pleading tone for the first time: "...But that won't happen, will it?"

Escrit knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed, kissed his face, and said sweetly, "Who knows what will happen in the future?"

The author has something to say: Thank you to the little angel (╯700╰) who airdropped 3 moonstones to me~

If you want, baby, you can suggest a stalk you want to see, and the scumbag author will write a side story for you! (...Of course, the time is after the scumbag author returns home from the final exam, and the scumbag author still has four courses to take QAQ)

——This is completely on the spur of the moment, I can't make an example. If there are other little angels who want to see the stalk, they can directly mention it in the comments. There is no need to vote for anything. If the scumbag author is interested, he will write it when he returns home. When celebrating the successful completion of the exam
