Duke Drua saw perfectly well what deceit lay in those green eyes opposite.
"Do you want to kill Ellie Croft and her son? This is madness."
The reason for this was the honor of Duke Croft.
The murder in the family of such a prominent nobleman will be investigated directly by the royal family. Besides, the target was no longer some seedy viscount, but a former empress.
Investigators will turn the whole country upside down, and it would be difficult to turn things around without noise and dust.
"Then we just put our hands down and watch?
"So what to do? Shall we report to Croft at the estate and finish off his daughter?"
"Lady Croft and her son don't live with the duke. She hides the child in a dilapidated mansion on the outskirts. And I know this place."
"No matter how distant the place is, openly attacking a mansion is crazy."
"Who said to attack openly?"
Lisa laughed a conspiratorial laugh.
The Duke stared at her again blankly. If you think about it, Lisa's position was quite solid before.
But now Lisa fussed as if she was holding the most deplorable outcome before her eyes.
Who would have thought that she would resort to extreme measures such as murder so soon.
"Anyway, where am I?"
"Yes, it has nothing to do with it. The whole plan falls on my shoulders. The Duke just needs to trust me and follow me."
Lisa's lips drew a smooth line.
Her smile was mesmerizing, but suddenly Jeremy's words hit the duke in the head.
'Sios cannot be trusted.'
Now it was not even the Marquis, but his daughter, who came here and brazenly demanded to blindly trust her?
Lisa read the suspicion in his eyes.
She moved her lips without flinching.
"You don't seem to believe me. You shouldn't. I don't believe the Duke either."
The Duke laughed at her rustic statement, as if it were absurd at such a moment.
"But we have a common enemy. And that's very important, sir. If a new prince arrives and everything goes to dust for the Sioses, will that make the House of Drua happier?"
The duke's eyes trembled at the thought.
"Only history will remain of the Drua family."
To complete her plan, Lisa held out her hand to him.
"Take my hand, sir, because we are now entwined into one."
Seeing the horror on the Duke's face, Lisa smiled smugly.
Two days later.
Jed showed up in the morning at our old hideout.
"Lumont found a nice mansion. We will organize everything no later than in three days."
"Thank God. Any progress from Sios?"
"Nothing. They even say that no one comes to visit the Marquis."
"Is it authentic?"
"Hmm... We are watching all the doors, but there is still no movement."
The mansion of Marquis Sios was huge.
