Duke’s Quadruplets Are All Overpowered Chapter 204

204

“Right. Lady Melissa… … .”

Even though his face was covered with a helmet and mask, the duke’s complicated feelings were felt.

“Why are you telling me a secret?”

“I was deeply impressed by the Duke’s treatment of Ain without prejudice. so… “I thought the Duke would understand.”

I continued to ‘act’, struggling to tell the deep secret I couldn’t tell anyone.

In fact, deep down, he was actually worried about the duke.

Melissa’s curiosity would reveal his shady side even if he were the emperor and not the duke.

The duke scolded me for my timid attitude.

“Not good. “You can’t believe you’re telling my sister’s secret to someone else.”

“sorry. Princess Melissa had a difficult life, being accused of being a witch by conspirators. In the end, despite her incomparable abilities, she confined herself to her lush garden. I thought that if she met someone who would truly understand her, she might be able to escape from the prison of thorny vines… “It was never my intention to burden the Duke.”

He made up nonsense to make his older sister, Melissa, look like a pitiful girl who had been despised and discriminated against since she was young. This is to pretend that Melissa’s notoriety in the public eye is actually the result of her scheming and criticism. I decided to let things happen, so I created a story to make the Duke of Matherand feel sympathy for Melissa. She became a pitiful person who cursed her life and turned her back on the world. It was a well-known fact that unlike other noble daughters, Melissa never appeared at social gatherings and stayed confined to Quartz Castle, so it was somewhat believable storytelling.

I asked the duke to see Melissa. The duke responded with a small sigh.

“I didn’t know the brilliant Reinberg family had such a sad story. But even if I meet the lady, I can’t do anything for her.”

“My sister had to hide herself from a young age, so she had no friends or even anyone to talk to. If you could just talk to her face to face without prejudice… … .”

“It seems like it’s a problem that can never be solved if she can’t overcome it herself. I am thankful that she had the courage to reveal her situation. “But I can’t help you.”

The duke refused, but I couldn’t deceive my eyes.

There exists someone who is in exactly the same situation as you, and he or she is in a very difficult situation.

Unfortunately, the duke was not cruel enough to ignore him.

A sense of identity, curiosity, anticipation –

Moreover, you may meet someone who can share the hardships you have been carrying alone.

The duke did not say anything until he arrived at Kalbain Village.

But that night, the Duke came to my lodgings.

It was as expected.

“good night. Even if I can’t be of much help, I can give you a little advice. “I will try to meet Lady Melissa.”

I pretended to be surprised and opened my eyes wide.

He pursed his lips and spoke in a voice full of worry.

“Duke… … .”

Then the Duke clenched his fists and said.

“Don’t worry. There is no other intention. “As long as the waves of Taecheong do not stop, the secret will be buried deep in the sea.”

Then he grabbed my shoulder tightly.

“Please trust me.”

He was a very honest person.

Could it be that I had other intentions?

I might have been suspicious, but they innocently bitten as soon as I threw the bait.

“As a proof of trust.”

Also, he was strict with himself.

Even though there is no need to do so.

Crash-

The duke took off his helmet, which he had not taken off even once in the past few weeks, without hesitation.

The Duke puts his helmet down on the ground and looks at me.

I thought it was Cheonan Tong. The Duke’s bare face and the fact that she is an Ain.

However, it felt different from engraving with the naked eye. I was at a loss for words for a moment and just stared at the duke’s face. The duke, who had been facing me with confident eyes, looked away first as the contact time became longer. He revealed a secret. Perhaps because of that sense of liberation, the Duke’s white face was slightly flushed like the color of a sunset. Although it may be a rude expression, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate word to describe the Duke of Matherland’s hair. It’s seaweed. Blue seaweed.

Curly hair like ramen noodles.

Hair that is as refreshing as the pale blue sea bathed in warm sunlight.

‘This.’

The peacock’s face was not hidden by the colorful hair that made one imagine coral reefs and tropical fish.

The large, clear amber eyes had a soft pearl-like shine.

Even though it is deep at night and only candles light up the room, darkness has descended.

‘Mermaid. ‘Melissa called the duke a mermaid.’

It looks beautiful.

Like a myth.

In Matherand mythology, the goddess of beauty was expressed as a mermaid.

Although the peacock’s lower body was not a fish, I became convinced that he was not a human.

No matter how good-looking someone is, just their appearance alone cannot make me speechless. The moment I saw the Duke’s face, my thoughts stopped for a moment, and it wasn’t a hormonal stimulus or anything.

A certain magic was felt in the duke’s face. I don’t know if it was the mermaid’s power, or the duke’s special power, but it was definitely a power that went beyond common sense.

“Hmm. “I will make it easier for you to speak.”

The duke’s voice was a man’s voice with an acting tone that was uncomfortable to hear.

When the voice became as sweet as the harp I heard last night by the lake.

I came to think again that the Duke’s magical power came from his voice, not his appearance.

It’s been a long time since Lily’s performance that I felt like my eardrums were screaming with joy.

Daa!

Hehehe.

Dalby suddenly climbed onto the Duke’s shoulder and rubbed his cheek. i envy you.

The Duke stroked Dalby’s chin with a gentle hand. i envy you.

“Except for the seven vassals, no one has seen my face. It’s not something to brag about, but hehe. Confucius became the first stranger to see the face beneath my helmet.”

“okay. It is an honour.”

The duke looked at me carefully with his amber eyes.

“Hmm, is there nothing more to say?”

“What do you mean?”

“The huge knight, Duke of Matherand, is actually… no. This is my resolution. “Confucius told me a secret that should be hidden first out of thoughtful concern for my sister, so I guess I should reveal my little secrets.”

Yeah, it was minor. The duke’s gender.

In the end, the Duke didn’t seem to have any intention of revealing that he was an Ain.

Suddenly, I remembered the conversation I had with my father about the Matherand family. My father knew the previous Duke of Matherand. He never told me the secret he couldn’t tell me. Your father knew that the Duke of Matherand was an Ain.

“Do you remember the saying that objects contain the owner’s will?”

“yes. “Isn’t this the custom of Kwatjiju Island?”

“This is Kwankure Island. The will contained in that helmet was something I had to hide. Do you understand my determination?”

I said, picking up the helmet and handing it to the Duke.

“I fully understand.”

The duke wore a helmet until he arrived at Quartz Castle, but took it off at night or when they were alone together. The duke, taking off his helmet and revealing his bare face, somehow became talkative, and found himself talking more than he had during the last few weeks of his journey. I got to know little things like the Duke’s food tastes, and my ‘Churai instinct’ was awakened when I heard that he liked spicy, salty, and sour food.

Arrived at Quartz Castle.

He was invited as a guest, but his identity was hidden.

If it becomes known that the identity of the large man who visited Quartz Castle is the Duke of Matherland, there will be rumors that the Matherand family, which has severed ties with other families for the past several years, has agreed to some kind of deal with the Reinberg family, and the meeting between the two ducal families will lead to the Empire. It will cause political power to boil over.

Neither the Duke of Matherand nor I wanted such a grand visit. Of course, if I can use it in the future, I will use it –

As soon as I arrived at the castle, I invited the duke to a meal under the pretext of treating him.

He then ordered talented chefs to create the essence of spicy and sour foods that could not be tasted anywhere else in the empire.

“This… … !”

“How are you feeling?”

“It tastes amazing! What on earth are these refreshing and crunchy pickled vegetables? There will be no pickles of this great taste in Matherland, the Empire, or in any other country! “It’s truly a food revolution!”

“Hehe. It is a food called ‘kimchi’. It is a perfect food that tastes good and has anti-aging and magic-boosting effects. “Why don’t you try this stew too?”

“Hmm? This unpleasant red liquid… Oh my! What on earth is this sweet and sour soup? No, there’s something called ‘kimchi’ in this too! Oh my, what perfect food… … .”

same.

Even if it’s not the reaction of the cooking queen.

Still, I expected a somewhat expected reaction to the food.

“How are you feeling?”

“It’s a unique food. “But it’s pretty delicious.”

“What, is that all?”

“hmm? “What did you say?”

“no. Please eat a lot.”

However, the duke’s reaction was so realistic as expected that it was bittersweet.

* * *

“Sister Melissa. Really, you’re not going to do anything weird, are you?”

“You crazy guy. “If you make a fuss one more time, I’ll kill you?”

“No, I’m worried… … .”

I left the Duke of Matherland in my room and met Melissa.

As I left the hut and went to my room, I began to worry deeply about whether what I was doing was the right thing to do. The most beneficial situation for having Melissa meet the Duke of Matherand, the backbone of the empire, is to obtain information about the ban on the Great Sea. However, all other situations can be seen as bad. If Melissa’s shady research intentions were directed towards the Duke of Matherland, I could easily imagine the Duke of Matherland trapped in a glass bottle. Maybe it will become one of Melissa’s cabin’s many collections. Of course, it was the worst assumption. No matter how much Melissa was, she would not treat the duke of the empire so harshly.

Even though I thought so.

The fact that I keep wondering about Melissa’s intentions means that even I don’t trust her!

“Trust me, I trust you, sister.”

“You damn… … .”

I closed my mouth before I got hit.

* * *

Sister Melissa suddenly opened my door.

Even when he said the Duke of Matherand was waiting, he didn’t even knock.

“ah.”

and.

Such trivial unkindness from my sister.

It caused a disaster.

We were faced with an amazing situation.

I found a mouse hole.

Unfortunately, there was no mouse hole in the world that could accommodate the peacock’s size.

I knew the duke was my biggest supporter. Every time he asked for my items as proof of trust, I felt a pang in my spine, but I tried to ignore it. But I didn’t know it would be to this extent. He is strong. There are probably only a few powerful people in the empire who can hide their presence from his spirit. The Duke must have been confident. He said he could sense my presence even from afar.

However, I was a warrior who had mastered the art of stealth and was accustomed to hiding my presence.

Melissa was ‘Melissa’.

To the duke, we are literally uninvited guests who suddenly appear.

I was caught off guard in a situation where I was completely unaware of his presence.
