Chapter 7

His father was attacked by a rebel spy and met a disgraceful end at a young age.

Because of that, the duty to reclaim his title thereafter naturally fell to the eldest son, Leon. He entered the military academy earlier than others. After his appointment, he traveled through numerous battlefields and rebel hideouts, earning the title of war hero and vampire at the same time.

Now, it was his next duty to marry the daughter of the family who would help him regain his title.

He was raised with military-style education from birth. They didn't ask if he didn't want to do it, anyway, and it was no longer unusual now that he did it silently.

He was called Camden's vampire because of the notoriety that the places he passed were going to be bloody, though in fact, the nickname Camden's loyal military dog ​​might be more appropriate.

'Can I call that woman the Grand Duchy's gentle sheep?'

Leon stared at the Grand Lady, who was looking out the window on the deck.

Compared to the Grand Lady, the eldest son of the Winston family was of a lower rank. Nevertheless, the reason why the Grand Duke took this marriage seriously was because the civil war was not over yet.

It was a world where soldiers were on the road to success.

Among the many young officers, Leon was the most promising. The Grand Duke was just starting to rise, and he was using one of his daughters to buy this high-risk but high-return stock at a bargain price.

So, Rosalind Aldrich was the Grand Duke's scapegoat.

He spoke to the woman with a dull face again.

"Do you like this place?"

"...Yes."

According to his intuition, who had been interrogating spies for many years, that was a lie.

"I'm glad. It was a mistake to leave the restaurant reservations with mother. I was a little bit regretful."

At his words, a smirk spread across the Grand Lady's face.

"Mrs. Winston has a good eye."

"Thank you. I will pass it to my mother."

After a meaningless smile, the Grand Lady smiled slowly along with him.

The waiter brought the meal as soon as the woman opened her mouth firmly as if she had something to say. After that, every now and then, talking about cooking a word or two, was all they had in the conversation.

Emptying the plate quickly didn't make it any faster to escape from here. Nevertheless, his body wanted to get out of this place quickly, so he finished the meal in an instant.

The Grand Princess also put down the fork and knife, even though the plate wasn't even half empty.

"Sorry. If you're in the military, you'll get used to the speed of men's meals."

Apologizing for the menu, he moved to the cafe on the same floor later. Since he couldn't starve his guest, he was thinking of offering a cake.

"No. In fact, it was too much for me to eat."

The Grand Lady, like a lady, declined the dessert and ordered tea. While she was waiting for the tea, her eyes kept getting closer to his face as he stared out the window.

Leon, who became embarrassed, finally could not bear it and asked.

"Do you have anything to say?"

The Grand Lady looked like she had been caught. She did the obvious, and it wasn't even funny. Then, what was so funny, as he said to himself, he smiled softly and opened her mouth.
