Episode 5-Performance

Her eyes met the duke's, light purple eyes that reflected the light, and a smile on his face looking directly into her face, Elene's eyes continued to look at him without looking away.

 Lady Marie noticed the tension between them, so she withdrew, so they could speak, the smile on the duke's face disappeared when Lady Marie had withdrawn and looked away from her.

 -- Duke Edmond, do you want to talk about something? --Duke?

 --I'm your husband now, call me Edmond,-- he said without looking at her and drank a glass of wine.

 --Then I'll call you Edmond --she said with a smile.

 -- Now go, I want to be alone -- his words were cold and with a sharp tone

Elene could notice that change in attitude and simply left, she couldn't believe that from one moment to the next she could change a smile to a cold attitude. Those light purple eyes that reflected the sunlight did not match his cold attitude, instead, they matched his smile that he had shown previously.

She opened the door to her room and jumped onto the bed. She didn't know why the Duke was acting, but she knew that he was acting that way so that Mrs. Marie would believe that they were getting along. Her green eyes were dark.

They hadn't spent much time together. married, but she knew that the duke did not love her and although over time he loved her, she did not know how to make the duke fall in love with her, the words that her father had told her appeared in her mind, she knew that the duke could have a hidden lover. However, such thoughts They had her exhausted, maybe it was because she didn't sleep well, but she fell asleep soundly.

 The duke was in the garden, the glass of wine in his hand was gone, his glowing purple eyes were dimly dull.

 He planned to go to his room to look for some papers in his room, he was used to being alone so he didn't think much about where he left his work papers, however, now he was married to someone who might try to leak information.

 When he opened the door he found Elene sleeping soundly in bed. He leaned against the door and looked at her for a few seconds, then he slowly approached and caressed Elene's bright red hair.

She felt something was wrong and Elene woke up when she saw the duke standing in front of her, making her get up, looking him in the eyes with a smile, she commented.

-- I was thinking and I just fell asleep, I don't think that bothers you, right?

 -- Not at all, you can do whatever you want, I don't care -- without paying attention, he grabbed the documents that were on the nightstand and left.

Elene did not want to continue sleeping and left the room. She did not know what to do so she followed the duke to his desk. The duke, seeing that she followed him to his office, turned to look at her.

--You can do whatever you want, except invade my privacy--he said as he closed the door in her face.
