Unnamed

In the office sitting blankly was the one and only Duke of Reichert Simon.

James who have been standing there was frustrated

"What the hell is his problem he was the one who said i don't like her but now since the moment he entered the office he is not working rather showing different - different expressions, sometimes smiling, nodding ,smirking and sometimes making angry faces he has seriously gone mad.

Making me stand like an idiot and not listening to even a single thing i am saying.

POV : SIMON

When james asked if i liked her i immediately shut him off but what the hell is wrong with me i can't seem to focus on anything and my mind is only thinking about Rayna i want to hold her i want to feel her i want to see her different expressions for my every actions

Oh my god i need to stop this i can't forget she Might have ulterior motives behind it

But maybe 🤔 i should keep an eye on her

Yes that's right i need to see her

But she might still be sleeping

Let's wait till lunch then i will go to check on her

It's not because i want to see her .

(After one hour)

.

.

James: You are not helping at all why don't you just go right now she might be up.

Simon : what what are you saying i don't want to see anyone .

James : oh please just go already do it as a favor for me.

Simon ; fine but its because you are saying me to go not because i want to.

James : yes yes absolutely It's because i want you to go so please duke you can go see her😊

Simon immediately got up and went for Rayna

James :finally...i hope after meeting her he can focus on work and not make me do all the work😞

i should follow him...why is my life so tough 😫

Simon:

"why am i so excited to see her ?"

When simon was having conflicting thoughts while coming to meet her. Rayna finally woke up because she was thirsty but as she got up blanket fell of her upper body and she was shocked to see herself completely naked and red spots were all over it felt like she has got some disease but she was clean and no sticky feeling was there.

"who washed me was it duke n...no maid might have washed me"

she covered herself and started remembering last night events they were so embarrassing that she buried her face in the pillow and screamed

"What just happened yesterday was purely hormones work well that is what you do when you have been a 23 year old virgin but to be honest he is really good at it although it was a bit too much but the pleasure was irresistible.

Let's stop thinking about it and onto the main topic why was the emperor being like this with me, is it because he likes to have sex with me and dominate me if that is the reason it might be really disgusting but for my survival it might be a bonus" she thought to herself.

After some thoughts concluded

Rayna : Wow i am really shameless .

Rayna after thinking about all the things saw a nightgown on the side of the bed and worn it before getting up but as soon as she got up stumbled because of the pain and fell she closed her eyes to get ready gor the impact but pain never came instead she felt a strong arm on her waist supporting her she opened her eyes and saw silver hairs shining she was in awe they were really beautiful and tried to touch them without realizing when she suddenly felt sharp eyes watching her and realized what she was doing

Rayna : "I m sorry i touched them out of instict"

Simon: "It's ok"

He said with a stern face this scared Rayna and she let go of him.

"What are you doing here?

Simon : Why did you get up if you wasn't able to move.

Rayna : I was thirsty.

Simon : Then you should have called the maid "

Rayna : I forgot

Simon : How can someone ...let it be i just came to know how you are doing but seeing you it is clear that you are not fine i should call a doctor .

Rayna nodded

Simon : James call the doctor

James : Yes right away

Simon: Take care of yourself till i come back "

"??"

"Where is he going i want to ask but let's not risk it."

As if reading her thoughts he said

"i have to go for monster hunt ."

"I nodded in understanding i forgot that the novel was not just about him and heroine.

The north was a very likely target for monsters who were called ..ZIKHAR.. they were not just mindless monsters they had senses and techniques and often fooled many humans which led to their deaths .

The duke was able to kill them easily with the help of the sword made with dragon gems who he got by killing the dragons.. he is really scary and ruthless.

But i better not open my mouth in front of him since i don't think Rayna knew about the details."

He left giving her one last look and said " don't miss me too much".
