I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 103
“Elmis.”
When Marine called for Elmis, she approached to pour tea and then stood against the wall.
“That maid who wielded the sword well last time. Duke, do all the maids in the Ducal House handle swords this well?”
“How could that be possible.”
When the Duke replied curtly with an expressionless face, the Crown Prince gave a bitter smile.
“Then that maid must be special.”
“Perhaps.”
The Duke answered halfheartedly and leaned back leisurely against the sofa.
Marine rolled her eyes sideways and glared at the Duke.
If he’s going to make it so obvious that he doesn’t want to participate in the conversation, why is he sitting here?
“Lady Schwentz, have you toured the capital?”
“Yes. Just briefly through the downtown district though.”
The Crown Prince spoke with a delighted expression.
“There are many better places in the capital. May I guide the young ladies? There’s a very delicious restaurant in the capital—”
“Impossible.”
The Duke cut in coldly.
“Ah, then there’s a very beautiful park in the capital where we could go together—”
“Impossible.”
Marine now openly glared at the Duke.
Excuse me. I have a mouth too, you know.
The Crown Prince also continued speaking with a smiling face, not backing down.
“Then how about a dessert shop—”
“Impos—”
“I’ll go! I really, truly, sincerely want to go!”
Marine blocked the Duke’s words and answered enthusiastically.
The Duke raised his eyebrows sharply with a face that said ‘what are you doing’ and turned his head toward her sitting beside him.
But Marine didn’t have the capacity to worry about the Duke. Her mind was spinning rapidly.
The Crown Prince had mentioned a dessert shop.
What if he brought this up on purpose?
In the garden, Dia had expressed her aspirations regarding the Crown Princess position and then talked about the dessert shop.
Until I received the letter, I thought he couldn’t have heard our conversation.
Did he really hear it, or didn’t he?
It was then that Marine’s mind became confused.
“Impossible.”
The Duke said in a low voice, his head fixed completely toward her.
Only then did Marine look back at the Duke.
The Duke’s face with his chin raised as if saying ‘try me if you dare’ was irritating.
Why does he keep interfering?
“Impossible.”
The Duke repeated the same words again.
“Duke, how about calming down for a moment?”
The Crown Prince interjected with a troubled expression.
“Why do you want to go out with His Highness the Crown Prince so badly?”
The Duke’s voice dropped ominously.
Marine hid her complicated feelings and stared at the Duke’s closed eyes.
There were too many reasons.
Dia wanted the Crown Princess position. Having already come to love Dia like her own niece, she wanted to support the path Dia desired.
And if their love came to fruition according to the original story, the Duke would also be able to open his eyes as the story progressed.
More than anything, she was afraid that the Duke might never be able to see for the rest of his life.
Hadn’t she seen him suffer to the point of self-harm?
To her, the Duke was no longer the male protagonist in a novel, but a living being.
She didn’t want his pain to continue.
Marine swallowed the inexplicable reasons in her heart and racked her brain.
“As I said before, it’s an opportunity to see His Highness the Crown Prince frequently—”
“Don’t tell me you like younger men?”
“Pardon?”
Marine blinked, not understanding immediately.
Why is he suddenly asking if I like younger men?
“I asked if you like younger men.”
The Duke whispered low with a serious expression.
“Well, I don’t dislike them.”
Still not grasping his intention, Marine answered honestly.
If I had to answer with a binary choice of like or dislike, it wouldn’t be dislike.
Then something like a heat haze seemed to rise from the Duke’s body.
Oh my. What is that?
“Your Highness the Crown Prince. I am tired and find it difficult to continue hosting Your Highness.”
Though he spoke very politely, his head remained fixed toward her without moving.
The Crown Prince also seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere and hurriedly rose from his seat.
“Very well. Duke, rest well. Lady, I’ll write to you again.”
“I should escort you…”
“It’s fine. Then I’ll take my leave.”
The Crown Prince waved his hand and hurriedly bid farewell before leaving.
Elmis, who had been standing against the wall, also followed him out.
Only the Duke and she remained in the quiet reception room.
I want to leave too.
Marine glanced at the reception room door, wondering how to escape from this awkward atmosphere.
“You like younger men?”
“No, I said I don’t dislike them. That doesn’t mean I like them.”
Somehow intimidated, Marine mumbled while watching the Duke’s reaction.
“Isn’t that the same thing? I should get rid of all the young guys in front of you.”
“Pardon?”
“Yubis too.”
“No, what are you talking about right now? He’s not even an adult yet.”
Marine raised her voice with an incredulous expression.
“He can be raised.”
The Duke muttered with a meaningful expression.
What kind of grooming story is this!
Of all things, why are you pairing up a child who isn’t even an adult yet?
“Why do you keep acting like this?”
“Is it that the Crown Prince is absolutely necessary?”
The Duke asked again as if talking to himself.
“Pardon?”
“Get rid of the Crown Prince—”
“Wait!”
Startled, Marine quickly covered the Duke’s lips with her hand to stop him from speaking of treason.
Her heart was pounding wildly.
Has this Duke really lost his mind? Does he seem to have snapped again? Why does he keep challenging things when he can’t even see!
Fortunately, the Duke didn’t try to remove her hand.
Marine looked at the Duke and tried to think calmly.
“I think you’re having some huge misunderstanding right now. Don’t tell me you think I like His Highness the Crown Prince? If I’m right, nod your head.”
The Duke frowned deeply and nodded slightly.
Marine looked at him with an incredulous expression.
“It’s a misunderstanding! How could His Highness the Crown Prince even be suitable for me?”
His brow, which had relaxed slightly at the word misunderstanding, furrowed again.
Did I make another mistake?
“Anyway, I absolutely don’t think of His Highness the Crown Prince that way, so please clear up the misunderstanding. Got it? If the misunderstanding is cleared up, nod your head. Then I’ll let go.”
The Duke remained completely still without moving.
Since he wouldn’t nod, Marine had to keep covering the Duke’s lips. The moist texture of his lips was transmitted directly to her palm.
“I’m telling you it’s really a misunderstanding. I said I don’t dislike younger men, not that I like them. I prefer older men if anything!”
One of the Duke’s eyebrows shot up. Suddenly he nodded vigorously.
“You mean the misunderstanding is cleared up?”
The Duke nodded greatly once again.
Only then did Marine feel relieved and remove her hand from the Duke’s lips. She brought it to her chest and hugged it tightly.
The palm that had been pressing against his lips grew hot, and her face turned red as well.
“How old?”
“Pardon?”
“You said you prefer older men to younger ones. How many years older?”
“Um, wouldn’t two or three years be appropriate?”
The Duke frowned sharply again.
Why again? What?
“Don’t you think about adding one more year? A four-year difference seems appropriate.”
Marine looked at the Duke with curious eyes.
How did he know that too?
“Well, about one more year…”
Only then did a satisfied smile form on the Duke’s lips.
The hazy aura had disappeared without a trace.
Marine let out a deep sigh.
I don’t know why handling the Duke is so difficult.
