Scarlet pov contd.
"That is right! I am the duke from the northern empire. I am the one you were waiting for so eagerly" as the words left my mouth, the man stood there frozen. He had not expected that I was the one who could be an infamous duke of the northern region..
The name sounded too masculine and strong personality while I was a frail woman in their eyes. He was too shocked to even utter a word. It was evident that he wanted to deny but the proof was standing in front of him with clear eyes. He had no way to deny that I was not well versed in using the sword and I did not have that noble aura.
"You deceived me." he finally screamed as he lunged to attack me.
"Ha! You were the one who never took me seriously or asked me or my knights? If you had done so, you would have known that I was the duke you were waiting for!" I replied with a smirk and he gritted his teeth.
