Chapter 69

“Just in case, Your Grace. His Majesty’s intentions…”

Leon stared at Daniel while waiting for him.

“Isn’t His Highness trying to connect Your Grace with Princess Christine?”

While talking, Daniel glanced at Leon. It was definitely a story that he wouldn’t like. From the time he went back because of Dana, Daniel didn’t know, but he had no choice but to notice to some extent.

No matter how much the cat means, Princess Christine has been inquiring about the cat all along.

Daniel, who was worried that he would get angry, was surprisingly amazed by Leon’s quiet appearance.

“Anyway, I have no choice but to attend. I’ll tell him to send me two invitations.”

“Oh, yes. I see. Two… Do you mean two invitations?”

“Okay. If you understand, get out of here.”

“Your highness, are you trying to take her to the banquet?”

“Daniel.”

Daniel flinched and shut his mouth at his warning tone.

“That woman, be careful. She is the one who will be the hostess of the Grand Duchy.”

“Uh… Oh, yes…”

Daniel was so surprised that he couldn’t even respond and left the office blankly at the ensuing congratulatory call.

“The hostess of the Grand Duchy… What do you mean, she… No, that lady. My my.”

Of course, Daniel now admitted that Leon cared about Dana. However, it was beyond imagination to think of entering the Grand Duke at once like that.

It was also somewhat unsuitable for Leon to push right away with just personal feelings.

“What happened while I was away?”

Daniel began to move busily to figure out what had happened while he was away.

After Daniel had left, Leon sat at his desk for a while and was lost in thought.

Dana, Dana Deniz.

Of course, he decided to get married. Thus, it wasn’t just something that would happen so easily.

As she worried yesterday, Dana had almost gotten killed. Yet, she couldn’t remember what had happened.

To be sure to protect her, he had to know who tried to kill her.

“To do that…”

First, he had to know who she was properly. Leon stood up with his arms folded and looked out the window.

Of course, after finding her, Leon wasn’t just letting go of her hand. He tried to find it based on reports of disappearances, but no report had been received that a woman was missing around that time.

And after that, Leon had a grim feeling. It was purely because of his selfishness.

If she finds out who she is, and also wants to return after knowing herself. He hated it, so Leon had intentionally stopped looking into it.

But now it was different.

It was not until he missed it in his hand that he desperately knew it. For any reason, the conclusion of letting her go was pletely absent in the options.

From now on, Leon had two things to do.

One was to find out who Dana really was and who tried to kill her then.

Another was to make her a real “Dana Deniz”. There must have been some unavoidable circumstances to use such a band at the merchant group.

Then, is Dana Deniz really missing? He will also have to find out about that later.

Leon, whose thoughts had been organized to some extent, began to hurry up and plete the tasks piled up on the desk.

As he read and signed documents very quickly, he suddenly smiled at a thought.

Did she wake up now? I think I let her sleep quite late yesterday…

He shook his head and fixed his eyes on the paper again. If he hurried up a little, he thought he could finish it in time for lunch.

* * *

“…I’m hungry.”

It was the first thought that crossed her mind as soon as Dana opened her eyes. All she had taken since she arrived here was a glass of wine, a slice of cheese, and a few grapes. However, Dana, who had worked much harder than she had eaten, felt like she was really going to die now.

She got up in a hurry and put on her clothes. She had been away for a few days, but the items she used were left intact.

“You’re up, lady.”

“Do you want me to prepare you a meal? Or take a bath first?”

Two maids politely gathered their hands together and stood side by side in front of the door to greet her.

“Yeah, so… Eat…”

“His Grace said he wanted to have lunch with you, would you like to eat first or wait?”

When she heard a thick male voice next to the door, she turned her head in surprise; Ahil was guarding her door.

Dana only saw Ahil’s face a little, but she did not know who he was. When Dana just glanced at him without a vague answer, Ahil officially introduced himself, bowing to see if he had made a mistake.

“Oh, I’m Ahil Peterson, your escort from today on His Grace’s order.”

“You’re my escort? Is that why you’ve been standing in front of this door?”

“Oh, yes. I’ve been here since I came to work early in the morning.”

“It’s early in the morning? So, from what time in the morning… Oh, it’s not.”

It was around dawn when she fainted after her lovemaking with Leon, but she couldn’t tell what time it was.

However, she thought that the red sun rising outside the window was dazzling and fell asleep.

I hope he didn’t hear that.

“Then these people…”

Dana rubbed her red face with the back of her hand and pointed to the maid staring at her.

When they were pointed out, one of them stepped up and greeted them kindly.

“We were told to take care of the lady. My name is Lily. This is Wendy. If you’re going to eat with His Grace, can we help you?”

“What? Uh, there… Wait… Come to think of it, I’m not hungry.”

Feeling overwhelmed by the sudden gathering of the strangers, Dana was embarrassed and lied.

Her stomach growled~
