Love me, Mr. Duke

Chapters 1.Let's Get Married

...~Love Me My Lord Duke~...

...~oOo0oOo~...

This morning was supposed to be a sunny morning at Reynch's residence. But yesterday the fiancee I had not met since the beginning of the engagement, said she wanted to see me this morning, and of course to discuss the wedding plans. I'm still wondering, what's with that crazy guy at work?

Because of the crazy nature of his work, he just sent a letter of engagement request to both my parents, I don't think, even as busy as it is, he shouldn't have done that. Although it was clearly an act of disrespect and unethical, but strangely my parents did not bother him too much, instead they accepted it with pleasure, without feeling insulted.

Isn't that crazy, it's not enough two months we're engaged she's been thinking about marriage. Plus he doesn't know the face of his own fiance at all, as well as me.

Like being struck by lightning, my feelings have been mixed since yesterday afternoon reading the letter sent from the Callisto residence.

Compared to feeling upset I feel more nervous and anxious. Because the man I'm about to face is a Callisto. Descendants of the great knights who had existed since the founding of the Aston Kingdom on this prosperous continent.

My gaze became sharper as my eyes met with both pairs of red-colored eyeballs, like eagles that wanted to pounce on their prey.

I got closer to the handsome man in front of me, my steps undaunted, as if leading me into the eagle cage waiting for its prey.

Even so, my hands hidden behind gloves felt cold.

The warmth of the sun seemed to dissipate in an instant once the cold started to envelop me.

"Aah!!!"

By accident the shoes I was wearing stepped on my dress.

The incident instantly caused my body to lose balance, my reflexes closed my eyes tightly.

It happened so quickly and inexorably.

'Did I fall to the ground? What's this smell? There was absolutely no smell of earth, instead I smelled a very fragrant rose.'

"If you want to continue like this. We will not start any conversation," a firm and melodious voice from a man was heard coming into my ears.

Hearing that I immediately opened my eyes and turned my gaze to the origin of the voice.

My eyes widened as soon as I saw the handsome face that was now right in front of my face, his sharp gaze swapped with my gaze.

Her black hair was rustling softly, her pale white skin was so smooth, her lips were small and beautiful like cherries. The sharp nose and jawline like it was carved, giving a strong and cold impression.

The man seemed to have fused his eyebrows together and furrowed his forehead there, "What are you looking at?" this time his tone sounded deep and firm.

Instantly I woke up and became misbehaved, then immediately moved away from her.

The man in front of me just kept staring at me intensely, I tried to avoid eye contact with him because I felt awkward and embarrassed.

"I am the youngest daughter of Count Reynch. Viellen Von Reynch, I'm sorry for my stupidity just now." I bowed in a formal greeting, then straightened my back immediately.

"I'm Carxen Van De Callisto."

Carxen did look down to give a formal greeting, even though it was clearly on his face that he did not like this meeting.

He invited me to meet, but look what's going on right now. It was as if I was forcing her to meet.

Carxen pulled out a chair and immediately sat quietly as if nothing had happened just now. I pulled up the chair in front of him and landed my ass there and raised the cup of tea that the waiter had just served.

'Relax Viellen, don't be nervous.'

Finished sipping tea, I put my cup on the table slowly, "Now let's start the conversation Mr. Duke."

I ventured to look at Carxen seriously, "We'd better get to the point, Mr. Duke, I'm sure you really don't like to mince words" I said shortly after taking a deep breath.

Hearing my words, Carxen who had wanted to drink his tea immediately stopped his cup in front of his lips, and put the cup back.

"I think we should speed up our wedding day. What about five more days?"

'Seeing him speechless, it seems like he was quite stunned.'

"To be in a hurry is not good either. What if it's less than two weeks?" bargained for.

'i know. The problem is not about good or not. It concerns my life.'

I stood up slowly and hit the table hard, "No Master Duke! The sooner the better. Shouldn't marriage be delayed?" I smiled warmly as I waited for an answer from Carxen who was looking at me flatly, without any expression.

"Do as you please." After saying that he continued to drink his tea quietly.

I sat my ass in the chair with a feeling of satisfaction, "Alright. Then I'll set it to be another week. Aren't I a fair enough person, Master Duke?" concluded me while draping hands to the front of the chest with a feeling of satisfaction, trying to underestimate my shame.

Carxen simply savored his tea without a word, then looked at me, "Since the wedding day has been decided, I think our conversation today is quite up here." After saying that Carxen immediately stood up from his chair, then turned around and walked away from me.

I hurriedly gulped down the still hot tea in my cup while continuing to stare at Carxen's back which was getting further away.

'Basic men are impatient!'

"Mr Duke! Let me take you to the front of the gate," I exclaimed, then hurried after Carxen with quick steps.
