The Duke's Fraudulent Lover

After leaving the cart and the children scattered inside the forest, Anton's clothes started to get pierced by the branches of the trees resulting in them being tattered with holes.

"You can't hide, you know~~ Come out~ come out!"

He held his breath and covered his mouth with his small hands as he made sure that his trembling body was hidden in the tall bushes.

"I know you're here~~ don't make this complicated little kid!"

The bandits also scattered themselves to pursue the children that would become goods.

"Fuck! The leader will kill me at this rate!"

Anton heard how the member of the brigand cussed as his frustration rose.

The bandit wasn't far away from him. But thanks to his small stature, he can hide himself if he just scooched in.

But if he does move, he will definitely make a sound. So, Anton stayed still.
