In the Middle of The Night in the Duke’s Residence - Chapter 82

New Facts (3)

Aris wrapped her arms around Leon’s neck and kissed him first. He then looked at her with surprised wide eyes, a look that suited him much better than the sad look he had at the banquet. Of course, the best would be when he sticks his sword right over the Crown Prince’s head. She was dizzy even thinking about it now, because it was in a situation that could be mistaken for treason, but it was still refreshing.

“Sister, I was here to tell you the news, but…….”

“Can’t you tell me later?”

When Aris spoke, half closing her eyes and looking at his lips, Leon’s cock reacted to it and stood firm. The blood rushed to his lower body, which he had not touched in a long time, in anticipation of the future events.

“But, but there are guests.”

“The Crown Prince?”

“Has the Crown Prince ever been a guest?”

“No.”

An uninvited guest could be replaced by the word intruder. At Leon’s light joke, Aris laughed. As her mind was eased a little, her laughter seemed to have faded.

“Then should we wait a little bit?”

“….. no.”

Leon still didn’t know how to reject Aris. He didn’t even want to learn that. So, despite her subtle temptation, he jumped right in and kissed her deeply.

Aris thought about kissing him for only a moment, but Leon apparently didn’t, so he took off his cravat and started unbuttoning the shirt he was wearing.

“Le, Leon? You said there are guests.”

“Didn’t Sister come to me first?”

“Ye, yes, but……. Then, wouldn’t it be better to send the guests quickly and continue afterwards?”

“…….”

“We don’t want to be interrupted in the middle. Right?”

When Aris grabbed his hand and waved it as she talked, Leon collapsed helplessly. He knew he had to say no, but even at this moment he had no way to say no.

“You should not change your mind instead.”

“Pft, are you worried about that? Don’t worry. Because that won’t happen.”

“It’s a promise.”

“Yes, I promise.”

To Leon, who couldn’t trust her, Aris held out her little finger and put it on his little finger, and she made a promise. And she again tied his cravat neatly.

After tidying up, Leon and Aris stepped into the parlor where the guest was waiting. And before opening the parlor door, Leon asked Aris.

“Sister. You know I always want to help you, right?”

“I know.”

“You know that I like you too, right?”

“…… yes.”

“That’s enough.”

Aris felt an ominous feeling. She wondered if there was a messenger sent by the Crown Prince in the parlor. Now that the paternity has been completed and everything was completely flawless, she was afraid he’ll talk about getting married right away.

Before Aris could turn her back, she beckoned Leon to tilt his body towards her. No one would listen, but she whispered softly into his ear just in case.

“I like you too, Leonhard Verdick.”

“Sister.”

“I want to tell Brother too, now.”

“…… Can you tell him that five minutes later?”

Just as his heart was about to be touched by her love confession, she immediately broke the mood.

Leon had no choice but to like his sister that was like this, and he accepted that he had no choice but to admit defeat because he liked her more.

Leon nodded to the maid, who knocked on the door twice before opening it. And there sat a very handsome man with silver gray hair like Aris.

“Aristasia!”

“…… Please be polite.”

She didn’t like the man who called her name out of the blue. Where did he learn his manners? She wondered what was going on because such a person was a guest of the Duke’s residence. But what was even more strange was that neither her Older Brother, who was there, nor Leon, who was standing next to her, did anything to him.

“Oh, I was so glad I forgot my manners. I am Gehrig.”

“I am Aristacia Verdick.”

She couldn’t tell which family he was from when he revealed only his first name. Looking at his clothes, he looked like a noble. He seems to be happy with her, but why?

“You have grown very well.”

“…….”

She doesn’t know how to treat this person. He seemed to know about her childhood, so she thought he was a worker who worked here. He was someone she didn’t remember, so she didn’t know how to deal with him.

She stared at Evan for an explanation of what was going on in this situation, and Evan, who had hesitated, opened his mouth.

“…… Your father.”

“He is dead.”

If it is her father, he is buried with Mother in the estate. So what does he mean by her father?

To Aris, unable to grasp her situation, the man who introduced himself as Gehrig opened his mouth.

“I am your father. We’re a family, so it’s okay if I can talk comfortably, right?”

“What are you talking about!”

A passage from the newspaper article she had seen a while ago flashed through Aris’s head, which was trying to cause a fuss about a nonsensical story.

He introduced himself as the Lady’s biological father… !

The true identity of the person who called himself the biological father is a gigolo!

“…… a gigolo?”

“I am retired now, but there was a time.”

“Nonsense.”

Aris couldn’t believe it and she looked at Leon and Evan, but they did not deny it and handed Aris two pieces of paper.
