Everyone Tames Beasts: I End Up Taming Diseases - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: The Duke’s Lie

Richard instantly stopped in his tracks. He was filled with shock as he turned to look at the girl who was crying.

Nina’s body trembled slightly as she covered her mouth and cried. “My father lost all his money gambling. Not only did he sell all his assets, he even mortgaged his house. If I don’t marry the creditor, his hands will be chopped off, so…”

Then, the poor Nina cried even louder. She slowly crouched down and was sobbing uncontrollably.

Richard was stunned. He thought that Nina didn’t love him as much as he thought she did.

It turned out that Nina really had her difficulties!

“Nina… Nina…” Richard dragged his stiff body toward the sad girl and gently placed his hand on her soft and delicate shoulders. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he was awkward with his words. Thus, his lips trembled for a long time without saying anything.

This scene not only made Adrian, who was not far away, anxious, but also made even the stupid Charles feel a little anxious.

“Adrian, why isn’t he saying anything? If he doesn’t say anything, I’ll help him!” Charles paced back and forth in frustration as he sighed.

There were a few times when he really wanted to charge towards them, but Adrian pulled him back forcefully.

Adrian said angrily, “Charles, can you calm down? It’s not like you’re the one chasing a girl. Why are you in such a hurry? Just watch quietly!”

Charles couldn’t keep his composure. However, he had to calm down a little after hearing Adrian’s words and watch patiently.

At this moment, the inarticulate Richard finally opened his mouth and said nervously, “Are you trying to distance yourself from me because you’re afraid of spreading the harm to me? You still like me, right?”

Nina wiped away her tears. She said nothing, but stood up slowly and looked silently at the tall and strong man before her.

She tiptoed and suddenly hugged the man’s head before kissing his lips extremely passionately.

At first, the man was a little nervous and even afraid. He kept his mouth shut and did not dare to open it.

Later on, under the constant rubbing and comfort of the girl’s soft lips and tongue, Richard gradually relaxed his mouth and completely immersed himself in the girl’s gentleness.

Slowly, Richard started to take the initiative. He hugged her head and passionately kissed her.

Charlie furrowed his eyebrows at this sight, and even his honest face distorted slightly. Finally, he couldn’t stand it anymore and had to cover his eyes with his hands. He even silently thought that he needed a girlfriend too!

On this day, Charles, who only had eyes for delicacies, awakened his ignorant feelings for women for the first time.

Meanwhile, when Adrian saw this, he was somehow reminded of the kiss Alice had given her. It seemed to be as gentle and beautiful as this.

Suddenly, Adrian couldn’t help but smile again. When he and Alice embraced and kissed, he seemed as clumsy as Richard.

At the thought of this, Adrian felt a little disappointed. He and Alice had only been apart for a day, but he felt as if they had been apart for a long time.

He truly hoped that the day they met again would come soon. He didn’t want to meet her in two years or a year. It would be best if he could meet her now!

Now…

Adrian’s gaze suddenly became determined. He clenched his fists tightly and swore to himself that he would work hard to improve himself. Then, he would meet Alice as soon as possible!

Otherwise, a commoner would not be not worthy of the Duke’s daughter!

…

At this moment, Alice, who was far away in the sky, was riding on a gigantic flying spiritual beast.

She looked at the clouds around her. However, her mind was filled with thoughts of Adrian, who was far away in Syr Town.

“I wonder how that guy is doing now.” Alice gently scratched the feathers of the spiritual beast, her beautiful eyes filled with faint sorrow and melancholy. She couldn’t help but mutter to herself.

Knight Commander Willard, who was sitting beside Alice, saw Alice’s sad expression and mistakenly thought that Alice was worried about Duke Masefield. Thus, he couldn’t help but comfort her. “Duchess, please don’t worry too much about the Duke. He’s fine.”

“What do you mean?” Alice asked in surprise. Suddenly, she seemed to have realized something and hurriedly asked, “Didn’t you say that he was seriously ill in bed? Why are you saying that he’s fine now?”

Knight Commander Willard was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized that he had accidentally made a slip of the tongue out of his good intentions to comfort Alice. He immediately explained in a panic, “The Duke is indeed bedridden. I only said that because I didn’t want the Duchess to be too worried.”

The smart Alice immediately noticed something and asked angrily, “Knight Commander Willard, aren’t you hiding something from me?”

“No, no.” Willard shook his head quickly, quickly hiding the panic in his eyes. Then, he said, “Please continue to rest, Duchess. We’ll be meeting Duke Masefield in Hilmar City soon.”

However, Alice clung tightly to this question and refused to let the matter go. She said coldly, “Duke Masefield is actually not sick. It was all fabricated by you to deceive me, right?”

Seeing Willard’s fat body tremble slightly, Alice immediately knew that her guess was correct. She immediately shouted, “Knight Commander Willard, you dare to deceive me? In the name of the Duchess, I solemnly order you to tell me the truth immediately!”

Willard did not have the courage to resist. Out of helplessness, he could only honestly tell her everything. With a bitter expression, he said, “Actually, it was Duke Masefield who asked me to say this. Please forgive me, Duchess. The Duke is actually not ill.”

Alice was surprised and angry. She clenched her teeth and fists so tightly that even her fists turned white. She was clearly angry with Willard.

“Duchess, I really didn’t have a choice!” Willard hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed his head respectfully to Alice.

To Willard, if he had to offend either the Duke or the Duchess, he had to offend the latter as the Duchess was a good person.

After all, Alice was the Duchess. If she wanted to punish Willard for deceiving her, she only needed to give a command. However, she never used her status to punish others.

“Since Duke Masefield isn’t ill, please have this bird turn around immediately. We will return to Syr Town!” Alice glared at Knight Commander Willard and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Willard shook his head in panic and said in fear, “Duchess, the Duke gave me a death order to bring you back. I have to bring you back and complete the mission.”
