I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 109
“I have a fiancé!”
“Yeah. Break off the engagement.”
“….”
Marine was momentarily speechless at his bold demand.
We just met today, is it okay for him to come on this strong?
“If it’s hard to tell your fiancé, should I tell him for you?”
Marine regained her footing in the conversation that kept spinning out of control to a dizzying degree.
“Excuse me. I’m not interested in 3rd Prince Your Highness.”
“What? Why? How come?”
Tan’s black pupils shook restlessly.
“I said I’m not interested because I’m not interested, but if you ask like that….”
“Lady, look carefully. How can you not be interested after seeing this face? Do you have bad eyesight?”
Tan cupped his face with both hands and leaned in close.
His black eyes sparkled like obsidian. His bronze skin contrasting with his rare lemon-colored hair was sexy.
Marine gained a realization while looking at the handsome man in front of her.
“You’re right….”
“See? Your eyesight’s bad, right?”
“I think I’ve become too accustomed to it.”
Marine thought to herself and convinced herself.
There were too many handsome men around her lately. At this rate, won’t all ordinary men look like squids? No way. I need to protect my eyes!
“What do you mean accustomed?”
“There are too many handsome people around me, so it’s not a big….”
Marine, who had been blankly rattling off her thoughts, closed her lips.
“Oh my, that’s quite a problem. Hmm. If you don’t fall for my looks, how about my body?”
As he confidently flexed his arms, his solid muscles became prominent.
Gerald’s arms seem thicker though.
Thud! What am I thinking?
Marine hurriedly shook her head and focused on the man in front of her.
“Why exactly are you doing this?”
“I told you, it was love at first sight.”
Tan smiled seductively again, curving the corners of his eyes.
I’ll acknowledge that eye smile of his.
Hearing his light confession made her burst into laughter.
Unlike the Oman Empire, the Sanders Empire’s Emperor had many sons. They were fighting fiercely beneath the surface.
So she thought that the 3rd Prince’s light words and actions might be an act.
“I’m really popular, you know? You’ll regret it if you miss me.”
Or not. Is this his original personality?
Marine looked at the 3rd Prince with confused eyes.

Gerald gritted his teeth in displeasure among the Dukes surrounding him and spouting useless words.
Though they were close, he couldn’t hear a word of what they were saying.
All his attention was focused on Marine, who was far away.
Throughout the carriage ride together, he had stolen glances at her. Dia was the one having her debutante ball, so why could he only see her?
The light apricot dress suited her skin tone so perfectly.
A deep possessiveness rose within him, wanting to hide her away somewhere and have her look only at him.
The moment that thought occurred to him, Gerald swallowed a bitter smile.
Should he not have opened his eyes?
Once he had seen Marine with his own eyes, it became increasingly difficult to suppress his desire to keep looking at her.
He still hadn’t found the true culprit who killed his sister.
So he couldn’t reveal that his eyes had recovered yet.
To make his enemies completely let their guard down, he couldn’t reveal to anyone that he could see.
However, when the day came that he could tell the truth, he wanted to tell her first.
“Western Duke, are you listening to me?”
The Southern Duke asked crookedly.
“I’m not listening.”
“What?”
Currently, Gerald could hear a familiar voice reaching his ears.
That playboy bastard.
Anger boiled up inside him.
He wanted to immediately shout at the Dukes near him to get lost, but there were many watching eyes. So he decided to leave himself.
“I’ll take my leave first.”
Gerald raised his head and spat out through gritted teeth.
“Aren’t we still in the middle of a conversation?”
The Southern Duke asked back with a bewildered face, but Gerald had already turned around and was heading toward Marine.
However, there were many obstacles on the path to Marine.
“Your Grace, it’s been a long-“
“Get lost.”
“Yes.”
“Duke, do you remember-“
“Get lost.”
“Yes.”
After ignoring countless nobles and just approaching Marine’s vicinity, Tan’s sly voice could be heard.
“I’m really popular, you know? You’ll regret it if you miss me.”
Why on earth do women like guys like that?
Wait, how old was that guy?
“3rd Prince Your Highness. How old are you?”
Gerald immediately inserted himself between them.
Tan waved his hand as if pleased to see him.
“Oh, Western Duke! Long time no see. But why are you suddenly asking about my age?”
“I asked first.”
“One year younger than the Duke.”
Gerald’s jaw hardened firmly.
He’s more dangerous than the Crown Prince. Exactly the age difference of two or three years that she likes.
“Please step back now.”
“What?”
“I said step back from beside my woman.”
When Gerald spoke coldly with determination, Tan looked dumbfounded but suddenly burst into laughter and looked at Marine.
“Your fiancé was the Western Duke?”
“Yes.”
“Oh my, the Western Duke….”
For a moment, a sharp gleam passed through Tan’s black eyes, but no one noticed.
“Western Duke. The Duke’s fiancée and I decided to be friends. You can understand that, right?”
Gerald frowned and lowered his head toward Marine as if asking whether that was true.
“When did we agree to be friends?”
Marine retorted with a flustered face.
“Since you spoke informally to me earlier?”
Tan answered with a bright smile.
“Informally?”
Gerald’s brow furrowed instantly.
Marine had even spoken informally to the 3rd Prince?
He couldn’t understand why men swarmed around her whenever he was away for just a moment.
“No. It was just talking to myself.”
“Who talks to themselves that loudly?”
Tan asked teasingly.
“There are-“
“There are such people.”
Gerald was displeased even by her exchanging words with the 3rd Prince.
“What?”
“There are such people. And I’ve been saying this from earlier. Please step back.”
“Wow, Duke, you’re quite cold today?”
Tan shivered his shoulders as if exaggerating.
“3rd Prince Your Highness.”
When the Duke called him in a low, warning tone, Tan raised both hands and grumbled.
“Ah, fine. I don’t know why the Duke always has everything I covet. He even snatched away the blacksmith I had my eye on.”
Marine, unable to contain her curiosity, quietly interjected.
“By any chance, Surenne?”
“Sweetie knows Surenne too?”
“Sweetie?”
The Duke’s voice became terribly low.
“I’m Marine.”
Marine spoke firmly while watching the Duke’s reaction.
“Sweetie Marine knows Surenne too?”
Whether he was oblivious or deliberately ignoring the mood, Tan asked back in a light tone.
“Sweetie Marine?”
The Duke’s voice dropped even lower, as if rising from hell.
Marine felt chills and quickly said,
“I’m just Marine. If 3rd Prince Your Highness won’t leave, then I will.”
“Alright, alright. Then let’s see each other again next time.”
As Tan tried to grab her hand to kiss the back of it, the Duke firmly grasped both her hands with his large hand.
“Can’t be helped. Sweetie Marine, see you next time.”
Tan waved his hand with a face that looked like he was dying of amusement and disappeared.
Marine couldn’t bring herself to look up as the top of her head kept tingling.
Due to the Duke’s sharp atmosphere, all the people who had been gathered near the champagne table had also disappeared.
How could it feel like he was glaring when he couldn’t even see?
Marine looked down at her hands caught in the Duke’s one hand. The Duke’s hand was so large that it easily covered both of hers.
“Um, Gerald?”
Marine called out while carefully watching the Duke’s mood.
Why could she sense a sulking aura from that expressionless face?
“I did nothing wrong.”
“Right. You did nothing wrong. You just stand there and men go crazy, I suppose.”
