Secret Private Life of the Villainous Grand Duke - Chapter 83

There’s no gaming community here to marvel at the settings with her.

“Fritz went to shower first. I think we’ll need to wash up soon too…”

Frois glanced at Lily. The presence of someone so pretty and cute made it almost regrettable that Lily wouldn’t see them while showering.

“Where is the place then?”

“Well, there’s a large classroom on the fourth floor of that building.”

The word ‘classroom’ made Lily flinch. Even if they were all adults, the idea of doing it with students felt morally wrong.

Is this really okay…?

Her cheeks reddened again. Lily cautiously lifted her eyes to gaze at the blond young men. Their slender waists and well-defined muscles were impressive.

Moritz had selected only the handsome and well-built ones. What can’t Moritz do? She wondered.

“Understood.”

Lily watched the young men’s retreating figures until they disappeared. The smoothness of their backs and shoulders seemed alluring and sexy.

“Fritz, you mean Fritz Hohenberg, right?”

“Yes, that’s him. Do you know him?”

When asked if she knew Fritz, Lily tried to recall. She had played the game so extensively that she was confused. Had they conversed…?

“I think I saw him once.”

Probably at the first party, but what had they said to each other?… Lily couldn’t remember at all. She had focused all her attention on seducing Moritz this time.

“I see.”

Merely knowing his name and face made Moritz feel a desire to keep them apart. He let out a sigh filled with regret.

As Lily walked with Moritz toward the red building, she read the black plaque at the entrance inscribed with golden letters spelling ‘Gymnasium.’

Gymnasium, the root word for ‘gym,’ was something known to her. Nowadays, it’s used as a secondary education institution in some European countries, but it used to be a school for nobility.

She seemed to recall it being a place for physical training like fencing or spear training, and learning Latin and classical literature… Perhaps that’s why they all were so well-built. Lily was filled with anticipation.

While climbing to the fourth floor, Lily fidgeted with her hands before reaching out to Moritz’s. She gently swept across the back of his hand, where veins and tendons were pronounced.

Moritz retracted his hand as if it had touched fire, then quickly turned back to Lily with a smile.

“What’s the matter, Lily?”

“The stairs are just so tiring… I want to hold hands…”

A cute excuse. Moritz was torn between wanting to tease her and wanting to hold her hand. Realizing his conflicting feelings, his expression hardened.

“No, you need to build your stamina, Lily.”

His voice was teasing yet stern. As Moritz turned his head away, Lily couldn’t read his expression, leaving her puzzled about whether he was scolding or joking with her.

“Ung…”

Looking somewhat downcast, Lily occasionally stopped before catching up as they climbed the stairs. Upon reaching the classroom, she leaned against the wall next to the door, peering inside.

Inside the classroom, a few wooden desks were sporadically arranged. Lily cautiously looked at Moritz, who had already entered and sat at a nearby desk.

“Did you attend a noble school too, Moritz?”

Chuckling at her innocent question, Moritz shook his head. What Grand Duke would ever attend school? Heirs to powerful families rarely enrolled in noble schools.

Noticing Lily hesitating outside, Moritz tapped on the desk with the tip of his finger.

“Planning to never come in?”

“I’ll enter… just give me a moment…”

Standing outside a classroom where students learned, Lily felt as if she shouldn’t enter. After hesitating for a while, she cautiously stepped inside.

“Do students have lessons here?”

“Some of them do, yes.”

Lily approached gingerly and quickly sat at the desk next to Moritz. He looked down at her with a warm gaze.

“Why doesn’t Tobias attend much?”

“Tobias has been helping me with my work. He’s also about to graduate. Are you interested in him?”

“No.”

Lily responded firmly. She didn’t want to associate the term ‘interest’ with Tobias. Who would be interested in someone as arrogant as Tobias? Lily even huffed softly in disdain.

“I have absolutely no interest.”

Though it was clearly a lie to anyone listening, Moritz chose not to question further. Instead, he gently grasped Lily’s chin, turning her face towards him before their lips met.

It was a sweet, tender kiss. Lily enjoyed Moritz’s kisses. For some reason, his kisses felt distinctly different from those of other men.

Why is this man so good at kissing too? Lily pondered this as she melted into the kiss like ice cream.

“Haa…”

As the kiss deepened and prolonged, Lily found herself short of breath. Yet, not wanting to pull away, she wrapped her arms around Moritz’s neck, pressing her body against his, and nibbled on his lips.

Click– The sound of the door opening startled Lily as if she had been caught in a crime, and she quickly withdrew from Moritz. He looked regretfully towards the door.

To see who had interrupted the sweet flow of their kiss

“Oh, I didn’t mean to interrupt.”

The person entering was Fritz. With his large stature and black hair swept back, Lily felt as if she had encountered a bear, overwhelmed by his presence.

“So, you’ve come, Fritz. I heard you two are acquainted.”

“Yes, Grand Duke. Lady Lily and I have already met, although I was ignored. Right?”

Fritz looked down at Lily with a smug gaze, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Lily had not acknowledged his greeting during their last encounter.
