The king, who was rumoured to be the epitome of incompetence, trembled in fear and bowed his head and his queen was also no different. Ingrid was the only one who raised her head and stared firmly at the Duke. Everyone else was quivering in fear.

Luana thought their reactions weren't too much. After all, the Emperor's Dog, Duke Legion was quite famous and had gained some notoriety as the Emperor's Sword.

"I.. I don't want to die."

Luana heard the murmur of her sister sitting next to her. She saw her trying to pull down her dress covering her ample breasts, and make her look as seductive as possible. The alluring beauty showed her willingness to survive by capturing the Duke.

'But that will not work, Evy. If you try to seduce the Duke, you'll only die faster.'

She had read that the Duke was not interested in women. It was because he was almost a dead man. He would never touch the princess because of lust.

Luana muttered to herself and glanced at her sister who was struggling to make a sexy pose.

"What are you going to do with us?"

When Ingrid asked boldly, the Duke's eyes turned to her.

'But is it just me? Even though he is looking at Ingrid, why do I feel like he's looking here. Ah, no way! Why would he look this way?' Still just in case, she covered her mouth with her hands.

"Can't you imagine what will happen to the royal family of a fallen kingdom?"

Hearing this, the king begged for his life.

"Save me! Please! I'll give you anything!"

As soon as he heard the king beg, the Duke laughed with a cold expression.

'They already have your everything over there. What else could they want from you?'

Whether or not he knew Luana's thoughts, the king desperately begged for his life. It seemed he really wanted to live, but the more he pleaded, the more likely he would die miserably.

Even though she didn't have any affection for him as a parent, she still felt sorry for him. Luana lowered her head and moved her sleeve, pretending to wipe her mouth. It didn't seem anyone had noticed what she was doing. Satisfied with the fact, she looked up only to see the Duke looking at her.

'No way, is he looking at me?

'Nah, he can't see me.' Thinking so, Luana looked around covertly, but unfortunately there was nobody around her that could save her from being seen. In the first place, this seat was reserved for the royal family, so there couldn't be anyone else sitting here. This was not a good thing! Luana rubbed her hands in nervousness.

"You."

A rough grating sound came out, just like the sound of fingernails scratching the blackboard. Because of the curse, his voice was a mess, so it was a little painful to hear.

"He's talking to you."

Luana, with her eyes urged her older sister, who was busy pulling out her collar. The belief that he would never call her out made such an action possible. The sister got up with a big smile, wondering if there was finally a way to live, but her expectations were quickly squashed.

"Not you."

A finger wrapped in a gauntlet pointed at Luana. Then the knights, who were standing still, moved quickly and picked up Luana. In no time, she found herself standing in front of him.

'Me? Is it really me?'

Luana was restless. She didn't know what to do. Seeing this, Ingrid stepped out.
