①2023.10.5 【An Apology to Readers and the novel Break Announcement】 Hello readers who enjoyed this book, I'm CloudC. I'm sorry for the 1 month break, this was due to the fact that I was made redundant at the beginning of last month and with very little earnings from writing novels, I started a frantic search for a job in order to make ends meet (while I haven't found one yet) Once life is back on track, I promise you that I will be back to updating as soon as I can, and I'll be back to updating as of 24.1.1! Please forgive me, I was really hard pressed by life and had no choice but to cut off my updates. Chapter 103 is definitely not the real ending, the plot of this book has only progressed halfway, this chapter can be considered a minor climax or the beginning of a key turning point in Chad and Orville's emotions. The book is marked as "Finished", I think it may be due to contractual reasons, because it's not what I marked, after a while, I will discuss with the editor to change the status of the book. This novel will be back on 24.1.1, please look forward to it, I'm sorry for the break in production. ②2023.9.2 Notice: On the cover is the ML: Orville ③2023.8.17 Notice: Frequency of daily updates:One episode per day ================================================== Chad has three secrets. One, Chad is a false name. Two, she is a woman disguised as a man. And three, she has a crush on the Duke of Orville. She tells no one these three secrets, but one night the second one is broken by a strange man.

Duke Orville when he was small, like to ride riding, his mother's family Lancaster since the founding of the territory is the strongest fighting force, so Duke Orville from childhood in the territory to receive Lionel's training, so although it does not look like, but Orville palm is a layer of thick calluses, the palm of the hand is wide and thick, but touch it is cool.
Chad was pulled toward the horse by him, and then the duke wrapped both hands around her, shaking the reins, the horse moved, Chad heard him close to his ear, a low sentence: "Sit still."
The wind hunted in her ears, the horse lurched, and even though Chad hardly dared to move at all, she still bumped into Orville's body from time to time, and the Duke was covered in the faint scent of white roses, like an impermeable web that bound her securely within it.
And she looked worse than prey desperately struggling on a spider's web.
Close, too close.
