The heart was greedy. There was a time he did not have her and he had wished for nothing more than to have her glance at him. Now, she glanced at him yet he wanted her to not look at anyone else.
Frivolous heart!
Now that he had her, it could not help but desire more.
Luciana was in a daze as she met his intense gaze.
After a few moments, she ended up laughing, ''I would never do that. It is so humiliating. I would never degrade myself in that manner,'' Do anything and everything to marry a man? Just thinking about it made her feel ashamed.
He glared at her indignantly, ''You never know,'' But seeing her cheerful face, he ended up smiling too.
He kissed her cheek.
She had been worried for a long time to find the Duke so seeing her like this relieved him.
While they were engrossed in each other, they did not notice a strange movement near the fireflies who glowed deeper for a moment before gradually drifting away.
