Escaping the Archduke of the North’s Obsession - Chapter 92-1

He frowned at the thought.

“That’s impossible.”

Duke Kyar’s memory might be good, but he couldn’t remember the moments back when he was a baby.

But where did that particular memory come from?

“Your imagination had gone too far this time.” He muttered to himself.

At that moment, he heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

The door opened as soon as he answered, and Isabella walked into the bedroom.

“You seem alright today, Your Highness.” Isabella smiled. “I’m glad.”

She walked towards the window and opened the curtains to let the sunshine through.

Her silver hair glimmered when the sunlight hit them.

Duke Kyar’s chest tightened, and the wound near his heart felt painful suddenly.

Isabella was shocked as soon as she saw him clutch at his chest.

“Your Highness!  Are you alright?”

“I’m alright, Isabella.”

Tears streamed down his handsome face, gathering at the point in his chin.

He had no idea why he cried, and it baffled him.

Duke Kyar quickly raised his hand to wipe his tear-stained cheeks.

“Do you feel sick, Your Highness?” Isabella asked.

Duke Kyar shook his head no.

“My eyes hurt from the bright lights shining from the window, that’s all.”

He made the sunlight an excuse because he still had no idea why he shed tears.

“Shall we close the curtains?”

“You don’t have to.”

Fortunately, Duke Kyar’s tears had stopped, and the pain he felt from the wound also vanished.

“Are you sure you’re alright, Your Highness?”

He caressed Isabella’s head with his big hand, calming her down a little.

She sighed. “I was worried that your symptoms might be back.”

“No. I’m too conscious for that, Isabella.” Duke Kyar replied calmly.

Isabella nodded her head and smiled. “I am relieved that it isn’t.”

“Even if the symptoms might appear again, I don’t have to worry about it because you’re here. You’re my cure. So stop worrying about me, and let’s just eat. Wait for me. I have to wash up first.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Duke Kyar took his hand off Isabella’s head and rose from the bed.

After washing up, he exited the bathroom in his robes while drying his wet hair using a towel.

Isabella sat on the sofa and observed him with intensity.

Duke Kyar smirked, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Did she have any idea that her unabashed gaze turned him on?

Isabella’s lips parted into a sweet sigh, and the sight made him hard.

He tried to suppress the urge to kiss Isabella senselessly as he faced the closet.

When he started taking off his robes, Isabella closed her eyes and turned her head.

‘How cute.’ Duke Kyar thought in amusement. ‘Let’s not be impatient.’

He had two days left before having her on that trip, but it felt like an eternity.

**

After the meal, Isabella decided to go to the forest with Duke Kyar as promised.

As she carried a bag containing the tools needed for herb gathering, Isabella headed with him to the forest.

Isabella stopped in front of a big tree where Kyle used to train.

She would make medicine using the Gloria flowers for Kyle, whom she will meet soon.

It was beneficial when it came to increasing his powers.

She missed Kyle even more as she examined them.

It will take time to get close to him like before, but she planned to approach him slowly.

Isabella crouched down to dig the flowers.

“Wait a minute.”

She already asked permission from the Archduke.

Was something the matter?

“Is this the ice flower?” Duke Kyar asked.

Isabella’s eyes widened in shock.

“How did you know?”

He shouldn’t have any memories of this flower before.

Frowning, he muttered, “Maybe, it’s deja vu.”

“What?”

“No, it’s nothing to worry about. I think I have seen it somewhere before.”

“It will help you if you eat this flower, especially after a long battle like the last time, Your Highness. Do you want them to make it for you?”

Duke Kyar nodded obediently. “Whatever you want to do, Isabella.”

Isabella smiled,  glad that His Highness seemed to believe in the efficacy of this medicine compared to before.

“I’ll create the medicine for you with all my heart,” Isabella said as she put the Gloria flowers carefully inside her bag.

Duke Kyar offered a hand to help her, and Isabella clutched it to hoist herself up.

He pulled her way too hard because Isabella lost her balance and fell into his arms.
