Chaptr 27 - The Monster Duke Mistook Me for His Wife

The woman who came to Ria’s front, raised her robe.
There was concern in the green eyes revealed throughout.
“Are you hurt somewhere?”
“Oh
”
A few days ago, it was the woman who came to her home to find Dillian.
‘Her side is also after Dillian, but why is she helping me?’
No, she’s not going to help but isn’t it coveted me instead?
At Ria’s eyes that full of caution, Kanae, the mage, raised her hands.
“Miss, I’m not a weird person.”
Kanae raised both of her hands and said that she had no intention of attacking.
“I would like to officially introduce myself, but let’s sort this problem out first.”
Kanae approached the staggering suspicious man and pressed him on the shoulder.
“Who’s the person ordering you?”
“Urgh! It’s not over yet!”
“Oh, do you still have strength to run?”
At the moment Kanae’s nerves were focused only on the man who was kneeling.
Something happened behind.
“Right, it’s not over until it’s over. Miss mage.”
The face with scar twisted meanly.
“Aarrgh!”
With Claude’s scream,
Tang-!
A small bead flew at a high speed toward Ria, making a sound similar to a shot.
There are three beads in total that flew away.
Tang, tang!
Kanae, who turned back quickly, destroyed two, but there was a bead she couldn’t catch.
It’s too late for Ria to avoid it. Just before the bead reached Ria, Nathan pushed her hard.
“Ria!”
Ria’s body shook badly by the all-out bump.
Clang-!
Strong light engulfed the alley with the sound of a glass breaking.
“Ugh.”
Lighting flashed before her eyes.
Later, Ria regained her sight and quickly looked around.
“I think he ran away.”
As Kanae said, they were nowhere to be seen.
Ria ran to Claude.
“Claude, Claude! Wake up.”
“Uugh.”
That’s a relief. Even though he was in a mess, it is a simple fainting.
“
 Haaa.”
When the tension was relieved, the shoulder became weak.
“Nathan, let’s go back.”
“Miss
”
“Yes?”
“That, about the owl
”
Kanae mumbled her words.
‘No way, no.’
Ria hurriedly looked around for Nathan, but it was nowhere to be seen in the messy alley.
“Nathan!”
Ria, who was searching until the end of the alley like a mad person, soon bumped into the wall and fell down.
Nathan disappeared.
Without trace.
***
Ria gasped in tears.
“Nathan
 Our old man can’t live without me
It is an innocent brat who doesn’t know anything about the world
 If someone offered it a candy it is likely to believe tho
”
Dillian wiped away the dripping tears tenderly.
However the tears that burst once, didn’t stop easily.
“Nathan, you say you will always stay with me no matter what happens.”
One drop, two drops, three drops

Dillian’s inside burned as the flowing tears grew bigger.
I knew it even if I didn’t want to.
What Nathan means to Ria.
‘I don’t like it.’
Right, I didn’t like it.
Ria’s scent, which made Dillian comfortable, was not as pleasant as it is now.
Because this wasn’t for him.
That’s annoying. Dillian pressed his twisted heart then caressed Ria’s cheek.
“Is it that sad?”
Ria only cried without answering.
Right, it is.
That is enough for the answer.
Also the thing he needs to do.
Dillian grabbed Ria’s chin and pulled it lightly.
Looking at her surprised eyes that looked like a rabbit, Dillian kissed Ria’s red eyes.
‘It’s salty.’
I thought it would be as sweet as Ria’s scent.
Dillian, who was muttering inside, pressed Ria’s eyes with his lips again and again.
The light kissing sounds were itchy.
Dillian swallowed a smile with warmth that changed every time he kissed.
Ria, who came to her senses late, grabbed Dillian’s wrist.
“
 What did you
”
“Miss Ria has a pretty crying face, but I don’t like it if it’s because of another bastxrd.”
Tears that had been pooled ran down her cheek.
Dillian chased and wiped away the tears without missing a single drop.
“So if it does not stop now, I’m going to steal a kiss on your lips next.”
From the corner of her eyes to her cheek, to her lips, Dillian hurriedly bent down and lowered his head.
Bump-!
A heavy sound breaks the silence.
Ria clenched her fist and hit him in the stomach.
“How can you say such things in this situation? Because of who this situation happened to! It’s all because of you!”
“Get over this. If you’re losing your mind at the time, can’t I get a hold of myself?”
Ria bit her molars hard in hidden meaning that either of them should get a hold to save Nathan.
“And if it’s my fault, I’ll definitely take the responsibility, so stop crying now.”
There was nothing to refute. Even if he kissed her in his own way, she missed the timing to be angry at him.
Ria takes her rough breath slowly.
Dillian, grabbed Ria’s hand that rubbed her eyes roughly then said a favor.
“First, calm down. I’m afraid you’ll faint.”
“
 Yeah. Right. I need to get my act together.”
“Right, this is the Ria Delice I know.”
Dillian, who was relieved and laughed out loud, was silent as the bleak voice came from his arms.
“You bastxrds, it’s not enough to just chew you up. How dare you touch my family? You’ll see when you get caught. I will destroy you until your third generation.”
The sadness became anger in an instant.
There was a tremendous amount of energy coming from her side.
“Yes, absolutely it is. I will make that happen.”
Even though he doesn’t like Nathan, it was a great opportunity to score a good point from Ria.
Dillian, who was familiar with his touch now, gently patted Ria’s shoulder.
Suddenly a small soft hand caught Dillian’s collar.
Grabbed with all her might, Ria pulled her hands down.
It was a weak force that could be easily struck out if it was to be rejected.
But Dillian played along with her will.
From a close distance to the point that their nose was almost touched, Ria’s eyes were burning fiercely.
‘It’s also new, but of course it doesn’t feel good.’
It’s good to see Ria’s new side, but he still didn’t like the fact that the one who made her make this face was Nathan.
“Dillian.”
“Yes.”
“You said it yourself. We are a couple. I’m your wife, and you’re my husband. Right?”
“
 Of course. Wife.”
At that moment, jealousy towards Nathan evaporated without a trace.
Dillian smiled brightly and kissed the back of Ria’s hand.
“It’s a fact that no one can deny.”
Ria admitted it herself. Dillian was deeply satisfied with that fact.
“You have to take responsibility for those words.”
Hearing the answer she wanted, Ria threw out Dillian’s hand without regret.
And he pointed to Harris, who was blindfolded by their love affair.
“It means you’ll be my uncle, right?”
“Well, well yes.”
Harris, weighed down by Ria’s spirit, nodded unexpectedly.
“Then surely, you’re going to go to save Nathan, your family, right?”
The answer is set.
Shut up and nod. At the silent threat, the two nodded.
***
“So, there is no way to find Nathan?”
“She said she would look into it for me.”
Ria pressed down her swollen eyes.
“I’m sorry I got mad at you, it’s not even Sir Dillian’s fault.”
“Miss Ria, this is happening because of me, so feel free to get mad at me.”
“It’s enough. There is no time for that, it’s more important to find Nathan.”
“So where is the mage who helped Miss Ria?”
When Harris asked, Ria shouted out of the door.
“You can come out now.”
Two pairs of eyes looking at Lia turned and headed outside.
After a while, a woman wearing a black robe sneaked inside.
“It’s her. She said she knew where Nathan was.”
In the heat of the gaze, Kanae wore the robe a little deeper.
“
 Excuse me.”
Kanae entered the room with a trembling heart as if she had stepped into the forbidden area.
As soon as she crossed the threshold, her eyes met with Dillian’s.
Dillian’s eyes shone brightly when he recognized Kanae at once.
‘I’m scared
’
The silent pressure to pretend not to know him, made her tear up.
There was another person who called her name, for her who was fighting a lonely battle.
“Kanae?”
“Harris nim**?
Kanae, Dillian’s right-hand woman, and Dillian, a cousin of Harris.
The two that are quite close, recognize each other at once.
“Is it her who saved Miss Ria?”
Unlike Dillian who keeps pretending not to know her.
“Yes. If it wasn’t for her, I would have been taken with Nathan.”
Dillian gently caressed Ria’s eyes in the voice that was getting moist again.
Kanae, who was watching the scene, swallowed a scream inside.
‘That person is His Grace? No way!’
Kanae, terrified by the sight of Dillian she saw for the first time, opened her mouth foolishly.
“And, she has been looking for Sir Dillian for a long time.”
“You mean me?”
He was good at pretending not to know even though he knew.
“Miss Kanae says she is a loyal subordinate to Sir Dillian.”
Before coming here, the pattern of the Duke of Sinaize she had has been checked.
And at a close relationship that was shown with Harris. She is definitely his subordinate.
Dillian’s eyes sank coldly as soon as Ria introduced her to them.
Kanae swallowed her tears in the eyes that were staring at her.
