The Tamed Heiress - Chapter 56

“Let’s bring soldiers to the Deniz Merchants right now…”

Leon did not give orders hastily simply because he heard the word “blonde”, instead, he closed his mouth firmly. Ahil waited for him to complete his order, and when he became silent, he carefully opened his mouth.

“Your Grace?”

“No, first of all…”

“Then, how should I do it?”

“Tell them to continue the search, and wait until you have the person.”

Ahil did not readily understand his master’s order, but he immediately replied and returned to his post.

The Deniz merchant said she would visit here anyway.

“Is it a coincidence?”

There was a high probability that the blonde woman there might not be Sarah, or there might not have been such a woman in the first place. Even if there was, this visit to the Deniz Merchants was separate from that.

But somehow he was worried.

Do I have to go out first?

A long time had passed since he heard that Dana Deniz had arrived. They were purposely wasting a lot of time expecting them to return exhausted.

If Ahil hadn’t mentioned Deniz, Leon might not have gone out eventually. Even now, he was reluctant.

Leon moved toward the place where they were waiting slowly.

Owen’s expression looking at Sophia was somewhat complicated.

“Father, I finally did it. I got rid of her. You said I had to be tough to be the hostess of the Grand Duchy.”

“…”

Sophia smiled brightly with blank eyes as if she were dreaming, and continued to speak.

“Owen was my person from the beginning, but things got twisted because he met her first.”

“No, Sophia. I promised to marry her before, and you interrupted and forced her.”

“It’s okay now. I’ve paid her back for touching what’s mine. Dad, what do you think? Now Owen will only look at me, right?”

“But I tried since Leon was born. Until I knew you had killed her.”

They exchanged completely different words, but Sophia was not listening to Owen at all.

She rambled as if her mind was stuck in a time from way back in her youth. Owen, in front of her, could not understand her at all as she poured out stories that had been secret all along.

She couldn’t hear Leon’s words, but only then might she find herself guilty.

He felt fortunate that the maids were quite far away right now.

“Why did you do that? She left me as soon as you and I decided to get married. Why did you kill an innocent woman? Even her family… Why the hell…? Sigh. Sophia, please.”

He was not relieved at all even though he had poured out resentment that he had been holding back for a long time from her. Owen was still addressing her, but Sophia, who was old, had known loneliness from a young age.

Looking at Sophia, who kept talking nonsense, Owen felt compassion for her despite his resentment.

In an attempt to prove a point to Leon, he had brought Sophia who was out of her mind, but she was in a completely unexpected state. Owen was terribly embarrassed.

Eventually, he got up from his seat because he couldn’t bear it anymore. Then he beckoned and called the maids from afar.

“Now, stop it and go inside.”

The maids ran up and helped Sophia quickly.

“And no matter what this person says, it’s just the nonsense of an elderly woman, so you shouldn’t believe it or change your words. If you are caught making a mistake in your words, you will never be forgiven.”

“Oh, yes. Got it, Your Grace.”

At Owen’s warning, the maids immediately answered with their heads straight.

Owen turned around and walked quickly toward the outer palace. If “Dana Deniz” really came, she was a person he wanted to see in person.

“They used to look alike when they were young, but what would it be like now?”

“Let’s go back. I don’t think he’ll come.”

“Shouldn’t we wait for an employee to come out? Harbert would be really angry if we just went back.”

“Even so… Huh? Who…”

Someone opened the door silently and came in. The sparsely grayish black-haired man slowly approached them. His eyes were completely fixed on Dana.

“We’ve met before.”

“Oh, at the plaza…!”

“Are you Miss Dana Deniz?”

Owen was actually already convinced by the way she spoke before he could ask. Since the other day, when Dana didn’t know his name, she was so familiar that she had drawn his attention.

But Dana became nervous. She was going to tell the truth right away when she met Leon, but what should she do with this person?

“That’s right, this is Miss Dana Deniz. She is the only daughter of the predecessor, Russell Deniz, and is currently the head of the merchant group.”

“Oh…”

While Dana was hesitating, Herman immediately stepped in and introduced her.

Dana, who was thinking about what to do, missed the timing to talk, so she really became “Dana Deniz”.

“By the way, who’s in front of us?”

“Ah, the introduction is late. I’m a man named Owen Tertius. And the father of the Grand Duke.”

Herman and Stein bowed their backs as soon as Owen finished speaking.

“Sorry, Duke! I didn’t recognize you”.

“No, I didn’t tell you. How would you know?”

As soon as Owen revealed his identity, his tone of voice became deeper, and he looked at Dana.

This person… Leon’s father?

Dana looked at him with amazing eyes, and when she met him, she bowed her head with courtesy. She didn’t need to think about it since the etiquette was naturally ingrained in her body at this time.

“I’m seeing your Highness the Duke. I’m…”

“Miss Dana. You’re exactly what I imagined. Thank you for growing up well.”

Owen looked at her with a warm gaze, and Dana could not tell the truth in the end.

I’ll tell you again soon.

As soon as Herman and Stein left, she thought she should correct it and say it again. However, the two were exchanging eye contact with each other behind Dana.

Unexpectedly, the Duke seemed to know Dana well, and the two seemed to have met. Then their tricks might soon be revealed.

It was better to get things done as soon as possible and get out of here.
