Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

His whole life turned into a joke, when Leonardo Thawyne the proud son of Duke William Thawyne, came to know that he was not the real son but a swapped kid. And now to save his inheritance he would have to marry the real heiress. Evangeline Rossador, a simple music teacher from a town, was content with teaching music to kids and having a garden in her home. But her whole life turned upside down when she was announced as betrothed to infamous cruel duke Leonardo as her father's last wish before dying. They both were hardly accepting the fact that they were bound in a forced marriage when life played another game and she found herself standing in front of her died father. Soon more deaths started to occur and they both find themselves standing in mid of many misunderstandings and conflicts. How would this chaos be solved? And would they be able to find love in this politically enforced marriage? “I asked what were you doing there?” she glared back at the roaring man who was trying to show his rights to her. “I was dancing with the Earl Nickolas,” she replied, looking back in his eyes. “Theodore go and bring the fingers of Earl who has dared to touch what is mine.” came the reply with an evil smirk. “Now tell me, my dear wife,” he whispered as he came close to her, “which part of your body have he actually touched?

I Will Take My Own Steps

Evan rubbed her lower back as she tossed on the bed once again. 

She tried to sleep but she could not since she was worried about the royal trial. She had tried to ask other knights more about it but everyone told her that it was fine and she did not need to worry.

She had asked the maid to bring books related to the rule of inheritance from the library, but she did not find anything new to it.

The rule of inheritance states that only a man is qualified enough to run the family since women could not earn or handle the properties because only men are educated in the empire properly.

That is why if a family did not have any son and the father is at the age of retirement or died, the family would end up in the hands of the royal family, who would help daughters in managing the properties.

The daughters would receive a monthly allowance from their properties until one of them married and then their husband could take over.
