Chapter 31 – Marquis Hamilton’s Counterattack

Translator: Lioness

“Alice.”

“Kyaaak!”

Alice was startled by the voice behind her that she also yelled forgetting that she should be silent since she was on a run. Besides, she heard a voice that she shouldn’t have.

She heard Marquis Hamilton’s voice and turned around in a hurry. No one had noticed until they came out of the hole, but the Marquis’s soldiers and knights had already surrounded the residence.

Even Benedict didn’t know that Marquis would know their escape.

“I didn’t know that a duke from another empire could be so shameless.”

“Shameless?”

“You’re still trying to run away with a young lady.”

“I understand that Miss Alice is an adult.”

“She haven’t made her debut, therefore she is still a young Lady!”

The Marquis Hamilton raised his voice.

“This, I didn’t know that my classmate who studied at the academy with me would run away with Miss Alice of the Erha Empire.”

Karus appeared among the privates led by Marquis Hamilton. Now Alice finally understood why the soldiers seemed to be higher than what she knew.

“Don’t get involved in other people’s business.”

“Alice! Be polite!”

Alice did not pay attention to the words of the Marquis. She wanted to run away to the Nakran Empire as soon as possible, but this happened. Looking at the eyes of the Marquis Hamilton, it would be very difficult to escape.

So, Alice held Lawrence’s hand tightly. Lawrence slightly caught off guard at the soft feel of her hand, and his shoulder trembled, but she did not shake her hand.

“It has to be this person.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? How long has it been since you met the Duke of Rittenberg!”

“Father loved him, too!”

Alice still couldn’t forget the look in the eyes of the Marquis as she looked at Lawrence who came to the Marquis’ residence. Why was the marquis like that, whose eyes were shining like jewels rolling in? If she said she was leaving with Lawrence, that she would have a relationship with a powerful person, he should like it more.

Alice’s loud voice drew the eyes of the soldiers and Karus to the Marquis. The Marquis shouted with a blushing face.

“When did I do that?”

“How did you know such a great person!”

The Marquis closed her eyes tightly at the nakedly exposed inner circumstances of the family. She knew Alice’s personality was not normal, but he didn’t expect it to turn out like this.

“Anyway, I like this guy, so I’m going to the Nakran Empire, just so you know!”

“I am the opposite!”

“There is no point in opposing it!”

Sharp words were exchanged between the Marquis and Alice before Lawrence and Karus had time to interfere between the two.

“I love this man!”

“What love are you spewing? Do you know what love is?”

As if frustrated, the Marquis shouted while punching in his chest. Alice did not change the color of her face, and she raised her hand, which held Lawrence’s.

“Look at this! We are already in a deep relationship!”

At Alice’s words, everyone’s eyes turned to the hands they were holding. There was an exclamation of ‘Oohh’ from all over the place. A noble lady holding a man’s hand on the street, and not just holding it, but interlocking with a man’s hand was a sign of a secret relationship.

Lawrence was unconscious, but Alice deliberately put it on the pod. It was surprising that she didn’t let go of his hand, but she thought Alice was good.

‘I just need to go to Nakran anyway.’

It didn’t matter what it was to get out of here. Ruining her reputation was nothing. Alice nodded her head, saying that there were times when she was stuck in her room and didn’t come out for a long time.

“So please let us go, Father.”

A pitiful voice resounded hollowly. As she made eye contact with each and every one of the people around her with tears in my eyes and pitiful eyes, everyone let out a sigh.

“I guess you really love him.”

“Seeing that the Duke was still, do you think he is of the same mind?”

“I guess so?”

“It’s amazing that a noble lady is thinking of going far for love.”

“The duke must be great. That’s how you seduced the young lady of the marquis.”

Lawrence’s face almost hardened at the sight of the Casanova he would never see again, but with superhuman patience, he held his expression steady. When his face was out of sight, Alice turned to the Marquis again.

“May I plead with you about this, Father?”

“Not until dirt gets in my eyes!”

Alice quickly picked up the soil on the floor and sprinkled it on the Marquis. Alice muttered in her low voice as her marquis took a step back and avoided the dirt she had sown.

“Sshh.”

Lawrence’s eyebrows twitched at the low tone of her voice. The Marquis Hamilton, who avoided the soil, shouted at Alice vigorously.

“Since I avoided the dirt, you must go home!”

“I’m not going anywhere without this person!”

The Marquis clenched his jaw as if anyone could see that she was the love of the century, and took Alice’s wrist.

“Let’s go back.”

“I don’t want to!”

Before Alice twisted her wrists, the Marquis had already pulled her with such strength. Then,

“Marquis.”

Lawrence’s low voice was heard, and something sprayed in his eye.

“Ahh!”

Dirt sprinkled on his face got into his eyes. Wiping away the flowing tears, the Marquis struggled to open his eyes. Throwing dirt at him, Lawrence casually opened his mouth.

“Since the soil has entered your eyes, can we go now?”

***

It was an unprecedented event. The social world of Erha Empire has never been as hot as it was today. A scandal involving the Marquis’s daughter and the Duke of another country’s empire!

In addition, when it was revealed that the person who informed the Marquis of their relationship was Duke Karus Shellington, the heat burned even hotter.

“I don’t think Duke Shellington went to the Marquis with that feeling.”

“Can’t the fireplace burn without putting in firewood? There must have been some other things behind it.”

“Did you say Alice Hamilton, the young lady?”

“The Duke of Littenverk even threw dirt on the face of Marquis Hamilton for Miss Alice!”

“I beg your pardon?”

Every tea party was scolded for that rumor. Everyone wanted to hear the truth about the rumor directly from Alice, who was present, but she did not come out of her post. That’s all.

Under the pretext that she could not send Alice alone, who was taken to the Marquis, she stayed at the Marquis until Lawrence, who had a private meeting with the Emperor returned to the Nakran Empire.

This was the reason the three of them gathered in the living room of the marquis’ residence.

“Your Excellency the Duke. Why are you here?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I’m not going anywhere without Miss Alice.”

“No matter what, why would you come into someone else’s house?”

“It’s someone else’s house. It’s my lady’s house.”

Lawrence boldly decided to leave with Alice. If he couldn’t take Alice, even if he returned to the Nakran Empire, it wouldn’t do much for the Crown Prince.

It wasn’t for such innocent reasons as her brother was waiting for her. Alice needed to marry someone who could help the crown prince. Lawrence glared at the Marquis, his eyes dark with anguish.

‘Well done!’

Alice was oblivious to Lawrence’s mission. However, he placed great importance on the fact that he did not leave her in her Erha Empire and tried to take her somehow.

‘If you’re a man, you shouldn’t talk twice with one mouth.’

The Marquis smiled briskly while thinking of the words she couldn’t say in front of him with his eyes wide open. The Marquis tried to shout his bitter words at Alice but seeing Lawrence’s eyes, he held back.

He looked at him so terribly that I wanted to tell her to go to the Nakran Empire right now. She had the patience to hold back the words that were about to come out of his throat.

‘I can’t spit that out here.’

He remembered the face of the man who had entrusted Alice to him for a huge sum of money. To never allow her to enter the Nakran Empire. His words were the only reason the Marquess of Hamilton was safe.

If he broke his word and sent Alice to the Nakran Empire, he didn’t know what would happen. He could have been immediately deprived of the wealth he had accumulated and returned to being only a ordinary person after being impoverished again.

Alice, who confirmed the marquise’s trembling eyes, exclaimed, unaware of his concern.

“Please let me go!”

“Can not be done!”

“Let me go.”

“Can not be done!”

It was an ongoing quarrel. Alice and Lawrence, who came to the Marquis’ residence late at night and took a short nap, continued to stir-fry the Marquis. Even when the Marquis said that he had a promise, he was reckless.

“Duke Shellington has come to visit.”

“Why is Karus here?”

As soon as the butler informed him, Lawrence questioned. Before he could finish his words, Karus entered the drawing room.

“Wh, why?”

He spat out a few words and sat down next to Alice, which was an empty seat. Seeing that, Lawrence felt his head hurt. Benedict alone was annoying, but even Karus steps in to stop him.

‘It’s almost done.’

It was a place where his knights and soldiers were waiting as long as they got out of the vicinity of the marquis. He couldn’t get out of that short distance, so he was caught like this.

Karus, who came to find him with knights and soldiers, couldn’t look pretty. As Lawrence’s sharp eyes turned to Karus, a numb voice was heard.

“I came to disturb you.”
