I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 155

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

His gray hair had changed to black like the dark night sky.

 

Transparent water droplets ran down his face, past his bare muscular chest, and dripped onto the floor.

 

“Really, Gerald?”

 

Marine opened her eyes wide and stared at him blankly.

 

Cool-looking eyes, a straight nose, and seductive red lips curved in an arc.

 

“Yes.”

 

Marine jumped straight into his arms.

 

“I missed you!”

 

“I was by your side the whole time.”

 

He held her tightly and whispered softly in her ear.

 

“I know, I know that… but I still missed you so much!”

 

Marine slightly pulled away from his embrace and looked up at his face intently.

 

“Why?”

 

“Because you’re so handsome.”

 

He smiled with the corners of his eyes crinkling as he burst into laughter.

 

Handsome people even look good when they laugh. Indeed, being handsome was the best thing for a man.

 

Marine smiled contentedly as she buried her face in his embrace. She was also quite pleased with his sturdy muscles.

 

“Marine?”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Your expression looks a bit strange right now?”

 

At his subtle voice, Marine quickly covered her head with her hands.

 

“I told you not to read my thoughts.”

 

He hugged her even tighter and burst into refreshing laughter.

Marine couldn’t take her eyes off the Duke, her eyes sparkling brightly.

 

The black shirt that had dried and been returned to him seemed a bit small on him.

 

When he was Karl, he had a slender build, so when he returned to his originally muscular physique, the black shirt didn’t fit well.

 

When she lifted her head, his deep gray eyes came into view.

 

His eyes, now completely healed, never got boring no matter how much she looked at them.

 

Marine looked at his face once, then at the meat he was preparing once, nodding her head up and down as she moved busily.

 

“You’re going to bore a hole through my face.”

 

“A person’s face doesn’t get pierced through that easily just from someone’s gaze.”

 

He chuckled at her logical response and turned the meat he was grilling over the fire to prevent it from burning.

 

“Being in the forest, I get to see things like this too.”

 

“It’s not something a Noble Lady can easily see.”

 

The Duke offered her the well-grilled meat.

 

Marine quickly took the wooden skewer.

 

“Gerald, when did your eyes start working?”

 

“Since the Capital.”

 

“What? That long ago?”

 

“Marine. Hurry up and eat.”

 

The Duke changed the subject with an awkward expression.

 

Finding that cute, she didn’t ask any more questions and followed his words.

 

What’s the point of dwelling on things that already happened.

 

When she took a small bite of the well-grilled meat, juices burst in her mouth. It was delicious.

 

Gerald watched her eat as if finding it adorable, then flipped the meat again.

 

“Ah, it’s hot.”

 

Sparks flew when she tried to grill some meat herself and put it back on the fire.

 

Startled, Gerald quickly got up and sat down close to her.

 

“Let me see. Are you okay?”

 

When Gerald worried too much, Marine hid her hand behind her back.

 

She had made him worry over nothing.

 

“I’m fine. It was just sparks flying.”

 

“Marine, your hand.”

 

When he extended his large hand, Marine unconsciously placed her wrist on his hand.

 

Having been caught by him so many times, her body reacted automatically.

 

Huh. Like a trained puppy.

 

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his lap, then carefully examined her hand.

 

Being in a princess carry position in his arms, Marine felt very flustered.

 

“It’s fine.”

 

“I told you I was fine.”

 

Embarrassed for making him worry over nothing, Marine tried to return to her original spot, but he wouldn’t let her go.

 

“Um, now that the inspection is done, may I go back?”

 

“I’ve been noticing this, but why are you sitting so far away?”

 

“You told me to sit far away because the fire was dangerous?”

 

“Stay next to me. I’m anxious because it seems like you’ll get hurt somewhere if I leave you alone.”

 

At the worry in his eyes, Marine couldn’t help but smile.

 

“Why?”

 

“Because we really seem like lovers.”

 

At her words, his eyes widened slightly, then he stared down into her eyes.

 

“…Marine.”

 

“Yes?”

 

When his low voice tickled her ear, Marine unconsciously covered her ear slightly.

 

Why does his voice sound so good.

 

“Is there something on your lips?”

 

At his deep voice, Marine was nodding thinking ‘Ah, I see,’ but then stopped.

 

Something on my lips?

 

Embarrassed, she reached out to wipe it quickly but then lowered her hand.

 

This isn’t right. She’s a perceptive intellectual person.

 

Marine blushed and looked down with an awkward expression.

 

“Oh my. I don’t have a handkerchief.”

 

She said that and closed her eyes tightly. It was awkward acting, but this was the best she could do.

 

Well done. Good job, me.

 

She slightly pushed out her lips, but the soft and moist something she expected didn’t touch them.

 

Marine sneakily opened just one eye.

 

She could see him trying to hold back laughter as he looked down at her.

 

What? This isn’t it?

 

His finger approached and wiped under her lips, then showed it to her.

 

It seemed soot had gotten on her from eating the meat enthusiastically.

 

Marine was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear like dust and closed her eyes tightly.

 

I’m not here. I’m an invisible person from now on.

 

“Marine.”

 

“I’m not here.”

 

“But you’re right in front of my eyes?”

 

“Just pretend I’m not. It’s embarrassing.”

 

“If you weren’t here, that would be a disaster….”

 

His voice continued slowly.

 

A disaster? What a clueless person. At times like this, he should be more forceful, you know? That thing.

 

Just as Marine was about to open her eyes and say something, his face was right there in front of her nose.

 

Their noses bumped into each other with a soft touch.

 

Marine stared at him with a startled expression.

 

“I can’t live without you.”

 

He tilted his chin and lowered his head slightly, his lips slowly sliding downward.

 

Marine unconsciously squeezed her eyes shut.

 

 

 

When she offered her lips, the feelings he had been desperately suppressing ignited again. The fire he had forcibly extinguished at the waterfall blazed even more fiercely.

 

He had tried to pass it off playfully to somehow extinguish that fire.

 

Once he started, it seemed impossible to stop halfway through.

 

But seeing Marine with her eyes tightly shut, his patience snapped.

 

His head naturally lowered, and as her clear face drew closer, patience disappeared without a trace.

 

“Marine….”

 

She was tensely rigid, her lips pressed tightly together.

 

“I love you.”

 

At his quiet whisper, her body that had been stiff in his arms relaxed slightly.

 

Soon he carefully touched her lips. The moment he had longed for so much was finally realized.

 

His mind filled with overwhelming joy that felt like it might burst.

 

Her plump pink lips were unbearably sweet. The sound of his pounding heart struck his ears like thunder.

 

Meanwhile, Marine felt dizzy and gripped his shirt tightly. Otherwise, she felt like she would tumble straight to the floor.

 

In the past, she had imagined a noble and beautiful kiss like Sleeping Beauty.

 

However, the kiss with the Duke betrayed all the fantasies she had dreamed of.

 

The thrilling sensation rushing from her toes to her head made her heart ache.

 

She needed to breathe, but as he pressed on relentlessly without pause, she couldn’t breathe properly.

 

Marine tapped and pushed against his chest. But he grabbed her hand and pressed even more intensely.

 

Marine resentfully patted his back with her other free hand.

 

At this, he reluctantly pulled away slowly.

 

“Breath, I need to breathe….”

 

“Marine, you breathe through your nose. Not your mouth.”

 

“I know that, but Gerald-nim was pressing so intensely that I had no chance to breathe.”

 

“It seems like you’ve breathed enough.”

 

Just as he was about to lower his head again with eyes darkened by desire, Marine quickly covered her own lips.

 

He raised one eyebrow with a displeased expression.

 

“Wait, just a moment.”

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“Something’s poking me from below.”

 

Instantly his face hardened stiffly.

 

The moment Marine tried to move her hand, he quickly stopped her.

 

“…It’s not that kind of thing.”

 

“What?”

 

Marine looked at him with a puzzled expression.

 

His earlobes were dyed bright red.

 

Seeing him turn his head to the side while avoiding her gaze after putting her hand back in place, Marine turned pale.
