The Survival Strategy of the Contract Duchess - Chapter 99

Kyler’s drive was beyond imagination. Having realized early on that there were impossible things in life, once he properly established his power, he tended to throw himself into doing his best in what he could do.

Sasha, who hadn’t thought it would go this far, was amazed to see the words she had lightly tossed out, hoping there would be water in the garden she was viewing alongside him, being realized before her eyes.

This wasn’t something that could be done with ordinary labor. It could take months or even years, so in this case, a magician was the best.

“I’m really amazed to see this sight.”

“Rose!”

On the third floor, a glass wall at the end of the landing allowed a view of the garden. Rose approached Sasha, who was standing there, mesmerized by the construction site.

“S-Sorry! I didn’t mean to cause this.”

Sasha felt sorry for the employees for causing such a commotion in many ways. Kyler was doing it because he wanted to, so she felt slightly less sorry.

As Sasha apologized to Rose with a troubled expression, she shook her head and smiled.

“We thought we knew the Duke very well by now, but it seems we were wrong. The Duke in love seems to be a completely different person from the one we thought we knew.”

In love. Her face felt like it was burning up at the words she had uttered. Rose, who glanced at Sasha’s face, gave a warm smile. Even in middle age, watching such a beautiful couple made her heart flutter slightly. How meddlesome.

She had been a calm and unwavering head maid, acting as a guardian of the mansion with Pavan, befitting the atmosphere of the Duke’s residence, but one day, this small being suddenly appeared and completely changed the atmosphere of the Duke’s residence.

Now, she felt like she could smile a little, and maybe even throw in a joke or two. She thought it would be nice to change once more, in accordance with the changing atmosphere of the Duke’s residence.

“Woah was that magic just now? It went boom, boom, boom, and the ground cracked.”

Feeling suffocated on the second-floor terrace, she came up to the third floor to look down from above, and then went up the stairs to the fourth floor, wanting to be even more greedy.

As Rose followed behind, Sasha, who was intently looking down through the glass on the fourth floor, exclaimed with a small exclamation.

“Sasha, the construction will look even more different tomorrow, are you going to keep standing there and watching?”

Rose gently tried to stop her, as she looked like a child, almost sticking to the glass wall.

“Hmm? Ah but it’s changing every moment? It doesn’t seem like it’ll be over soon?”

“Well, I don’t think they can let the water flow until they’ve cleared the inside neatly after blasting the road like that, right?”

“Hmm…”

Perhaps wanting to keep watching, she lingered in front of the glass wall. Rose couldn’t just drag her away like a child, so she decided to stop there and step back.

“Rose is right. Today, they will only continue to blast, so you will only see sand dust.”

At that moment, a low voice echoed from below the landing. That voice immediately made Sasha, who was stuck to the glass wall, turn around.

His black hair was visible coming up the stairs, and then his tall body came up step by step. It was like a handsome protagonist appearing in slow motion in a drama.

Ah, is this the protagonist effect itself? She couldn’t help but look at this man who was trying to create an artificial river in the garden by bringing in magicians because she wanted a pond.

“Kyler! Is that really, okay? Didn’t I ask for something strange without thinking? Is it really, really okay?”

The amazing thing is amazing, and the cool thing is cool. But in the first place, is that something that is logically possible?

I still have a lot of ignorance about the common sense here, but this doesn’t seem okay?

Sasha, flustered, ran to him, and a large hand came up and ruffled her hair. Sasha, who liked that touch, stroked her chest, which had been flustered, and grabbed his sleeve.

“You wanted a pond. It was I who said I would make a stream.”

“Hmm… well, that’s true.”

Rose chuckled from behind, watching Sasha quickly cut ties with Kyler’s words.

Kyler turned his eyes from Sasha and looked behind him. He was very unfamiliar with Rose making such a sound of laughter when he was in front of her.

Feeling his gaze, Rose also looked back at him. He was worried that she might freeze with a frightened face at his gaze, but as expected, Rose. She was not a woman who would be easily frightened by him.

“Sasha is very cute.”

But Rose, who added these words, was also a little unfamiliar to Kyler.

She had always been a strict person who only walked a very defined path, but to laugh in front of him or to say that the mistress was cute was not the Rose he knew.

But it wasn’t that he disliked it. Rather, he felt strongly that she was a woman with a deep heart who could warmly look at the owner, not just a silent person who only worked with a stiff face.

“That’s right. I think so too, Rose.”

It felt like they were having a conversation for the first time in a long time. While the two were creating such a heartwarming atmosphere, Sasha, who was in between them, looked up at Kyler and pouted.

“Should I take the word ‘cute’ in a good way?”

Sasha had never heard such a word before, so she felt awkward because she remembered Kyler saying that she had to maintain the dignity of the Duchess.

Kyler, who didn’t know why, didn’t argue there, but instead touched her lips with the hand that had been ruffling and stroking her hair.

“Have you ever seen us say anything bad about you?”

“Hmm… no, I haven’t.”

“Hmm.”

Seeing him nod as if the explanation was over, Sasha burst into laughter this time.

“You looked like you were going to give a lot of explanations, but it’s simple.”

It wasn’t that there were many explanations that needed to be given in detail, but she felt like the atmosphere had suddenly been cut off, so she seemed to have laughed.

“Hmm, well, to add a word.”

Kyler, who glanced at Rose, turned his eyes, which had been holding back laughter, back to Sasha. He wrapped his arm around her small shoulders, turned her body, and started to go down the stairs.

As she followed him down the stairs, looking up at him, she was bewildered to see his lips twitching with laughter.

“It’s a little different from the dignity of the Duchess of Ignote, but Sasha seems a little very cute.”

Was that why he started moving because he couldn’t say those words in front of Rose?

As soon as Sasha heard his words, she burst out laughing and went down the stairs in a posture that was almost hugging him, and laughed for a long time.

But the place he was heading to after coming down to the second floor was his room. As soon as she heard the sound of the door closing behind her, Sasha felt her whole body tingle very instinctively.

“Um, Kyler? Why are you suddenly going into the room at this hour?”

She heard the sound of the door being locked. The room was already quiet, locked in darkness because the curtains had not yet been fully drawn.

It was still a sunny time. She wondered if it would work to cover it with blackout curtains now.

Nevertheless, Sasha sat on the bed as he led her.

And his hand stroked her body. She didn’t feel bad at all even though his large hand was stroking her whole body without warning.

Just by stroking gently and occasionally giving strength to his hand, Sasha was already out of breath.

“You can refuse if you want you know that, right?”

He had already started and was telling her to refuse. Sasha grabbed his shoulder. Then she tilted her head back. Her neckline was breathtakingly exposed.

If she put the words of refusal into her mouth, he would immediately take his hand away. He was a man who was excited to possess her, but not swayed by it.

“Uh-huh, why would I refuse, when Kyler is touching me, ha?”

Kyler’s lips curled up. The hand that seemed to be stroking her whole body had already entered her skirt and was caressing her bare legs for a long time, and then she couldn’t stand it and immediately took off the indoor dress she was wearing.

The clothes that had been taken off like that fell to the floor with a thud. At the sound of the fabric lightly touching the floor, Sasha’s heart also fell with a thud.

It’s not just that he takes off her clothes. He always takes off his own clothes after taking off hers. Sasha felt that even that was a consideration for her, so her heart fluttered.

Is the time before the relationship so exciting, thrilling, and pleasant?

Sasha was staring at his movements, which were faintly visible in the darkness, with dazed eyes. No matter how she looked at him, he was just too handsome, so she always had a hard time feeling like she was being held in something completely her own.

But she knows. It’s just her own inferiority complex, and he thinks of her as completely his.

“Sasha!”

“Kyler. I like it. I always like you.”

Sasha’s voice, filled with laughter, rode the darkness and reached Kyler.
