Secret Private Life of the Villainous Grand Duke - Chapter 54

“Haha, such a demanding lady. I like it.”

Shelley regretted not being able to attend the banquet. She was so excited to see what kind of sparks would ignite between the three of them and what would unfold.

“If you need another dress later, call me. Place an order in Shelley’s tailor in Cretail, I’ll make yours first, other orders come later.”

“Before Moritz’s?”

“I’ll have to think about that one. Anyway, what you have in mind is not the Grand Duke, but the Emperor…… ?”

“Yes, I will become Empress.”

Lily answered without a moment’s thought. She was hopeful that this time she would not die at Moritz’s hands and she would be able to marry Matthias.

“I think I will finally have a connection to the imperial family.”

Shelley’s eyes glowed with ambition. While Lily put her clothes back on, Shelley simply scribbled the measurements on a piece of paper. Lily admired Shelley’s appearance.

Cool. Professionals sure are different.

After taking the measurements, Shelley and Lily returned to the parlor where Moritz was waiting. Then she immediately looked at Moritz, who was wearing a suit that had been pre-made to fit his size.

“Duke ……. You’ve become thinner again.”

“I was……. Very busy.”

“The Pax family will be in trouble. By the way, your overall body is thinner, but you seem to gain a bit of muscle? I thought you were busy with work, but I guess you had some time to move.”

It was obvious what that meant. Moritz scanned the red marks clearly visible on Lily’s nape. Those lovely marks made by him piercing his teeth and sucking her soft skin.

Moritz took off the baggy clothes and hung it over the chair. Shelley walked over with a tape measure and re-measured the areas that had changed.

“Especially……. Your chest gained a lot of muscle. The suit fit will turn out good. If you want to be a walking statue.”

Checking the measurements, Shelley’s eyes widened. Seeing her fierce eyes, Moritz averted his gaze. Lily couldn’t make an excuse that he was busy and that he didn’t have time to eat.

Lily examined Moritz’s chest, which Shelley had mentioned. But she couldn’t see if there were more muscles than before. After that, she scanned Moritz’s entire body.

Did he lose weight? Moritz does originally have a model-like body, so she didn’t notice much of a difference. He was still good-looking, just like a sculpture of an angel from heaven.

“The Grand Duke’s clothes are done now, and the Lady has no time for more mending. I’m going to make the clothes and use laces to make it fit. Those……. marks……. Please refrain from doing it for a while. Do you understand?”

Both Moritz and Lily looked down when Shelley nagged. It feels like they’re being scolded for getting into trouble.

Lily, who found the situation funny, smiled brightly with blushing cheeks. After she possessed this place, she had been immersed in strange nights. Then she felt refreshed as she passed the day leisurely.

“Then, I will get going. While I am in Moonique, I’ll have to look at the latest fashion trends.”

After Shelley and her assistants went back, Moritz approached Lily. Then he lowered his eyes and slowly trailed her neck, collarbone, and shoulder.

“I certainly made it a little too much.”

Moritz’s cold hand caressed Lily’s neck. Lily tilted her head to the side and looked at him.

That was the intention. To pretend to dislike it once in a while.

“What……. Didn’t you hear me telling you to control it?”

“Then would it be fine as long as I didn’t leave marks, Lily?”

Moritz took a step closer, whispering in her ear and hugging her waist. Lily wrapped her arms around his shoulders and hung on.

“I’m not staying the night today.”

“I see. I’m also busy, so just an hour…….”

It wasn’t an hour, but two after they went to the bedroom that their affair ended. It was because of Lily who played around and groped all over Moritz’s body while they were lying side by side to rest after their two affairs.

Moritz, who was excited again by her strange touch, insisted on doing it one more time on the grounds that she had to take responsibility.

“Really, what an irresistible lady. Don’t try to seduce me any more. I’ve been really behind on things.”

“All right. Go then.”

Lily ran her tongue over her lips and looked at him with lustful eyes. There was a little bit of regret in her eyes.

“Again, looking at me with those eyes.”

“I don’t know what that means.”

Moritz covered his face with his large hand, seeing her cute appearance. Then he forced himself up and out of the bed.

“I really have to work…….”

It wasn’t enough to end it like this, but it was obvious that if he didn’t go now, Paul would complain all day. Moritz picked up his clothes and went out, looking back at Lily with longing eyes.

“See you next time, Lily.”

After feeling hungry for the first time in a while, Lily returned to Ravenas Mansion and asked Julia to prepare a meal.

“It’s steak?”

Lily’s mouth was watering as the servants brought out a nice steak.

“The master ordered us to fill the table with food. Lately, Miss’ body doesn’t seem to be in a good condition…….”

Julia softened what Count Ravenas had said. Lily, who had often seen Count Ravenas’ authoritative words and attitude in the game, knew what kind of person he was.

‘Don’t talk back.’

These were the first words she heard from Count Ravenas after she came here.

When Count Ravenas forced her to eat, she refused because she was not hungry. He was an authoritarian parent who never intended to listen to his child’s thoughts or opinions.

As her appetite dropped a little, Lily rolled her eyes and looked over the table. There were letters.

“What is this?”

“Ah, I got two letters for Miss, but I didn’t open them, so I don’t know who sent them……. There is no seal, just initials.”

“T. W”

Picking up the letter, Lily looked back and forth at the envelope. Only the initials were scrawled fiercely on the envelope.

Who is it?

Lily put the names together in her head. It didn’t take long before she found the owner of the initials. T. W.
