Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 313 – [Bonus Chapter] Red Ridinghood!

"Everything is done, can we retire to our rooms?"

"No! The young lord is still not here. I want all of you to go and greet him once he returns since my lord is not here!" the maid pursued her lips but nodded.

Mostly all of them only go and greet the duke, but this time the head maid was insisting that they all should wait for him.

Due to his time of working not being fixed, all of their working hours have been extended!

The sound of the carriage brought a smile of relief on the faces of everyone. 

"Lord is here!" announced the knight that was guarding the door. 

"Make two lines and follow me" the head maid walked in front of them as she ordered others to come with her.

Reaching to the door, she bowed her head and greeted the man back,

"Welcome back, my lord!" as the sound of the steps came closer to her, she raised her head only to stare at them like a lunatic.

Evan's dress was so crumpled and destroyed as if they had… even Leo was not wearing the clothes he had worn in the morning.

Just how..? Her mouth turned agape, she was so shocked that no words came out of her mouth.

Did they do it in the office of the ministry. Wild thoughts started to swirl in her mind when she heard the sound of footsteps and finally came back to her senses.

She realized that more than half of the staff was following her to greet both of them. 

What if the lord punished all of them to see their condition. With that thought in her mind, she truend with the speed of lightning and glared at the staff who had reached the door, and without thinking twice, she entered and shut the door.

"………" Leo and Evan who were already walking towards the door were stunned when the door was shut abruptly on their faces.

"What are all of you doing here? Haven't I told you to go and rest, the work of the day has already ended. It is late at night, yet you are creating so much nuisance!" she admonished all of them with fierce eyes.

'………" they exchanged glances but did not know what to say! They did not dare to tell her that it was her who did not let them go!

"Why are you still standing here? Leave for your rooms this instant!" 

With the strong holler, they all scurried towards their room with strange looks on their faces. 

Thank goodness their exit was from the kitchen instead of the main door, so they did not need to open the door for leaving.

Once there was no one left in the hall, the head maid took a deep breath and opened the door again.

Though she had seen them already, she flushed when she saw their condition again.

"Why have you closed the door just now?" Evan asked in a curious voice as she had always seen them behaving so diligent before.

The maid was not expecting that she would not take the hint and ask her directly, 

"That! My lady, I did not close the door but it was swayed by the strong winds. Hehe! I was just not able to hold it tightly. Haha, my bad!" she laughed awkwardly in between her sentences as she stole glances at them.

"…….." did she really want them to believe that? Evan had thought that Leo would pass a snarky comment to the handmaid and was thinking of a better excuse.

"Mmm, you did a good job!" 

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!" So, he actually believed it! Tsk! And he thinks that he was smart!' 

Evan passed a look of disdain to both of them and turned to leave for her room. The dress was not at all comfortable to wear!

"Thank you, my lord!" she did not know how else to respond to this awkward conversation. And was about to take a step back to retreat silently when the master was still busy staring at the retreating figure, when she suddenly heard him speak again.

"Serve dinner in her room for both of us!" and with that he left for his room.

"….." the master must have chosen his room! It had a softer and larger bed! Wait! Her eyes widened and her whole face flushed red when the thought crossed her mind as she shook her head and ran from there as if ghosts were chasing her.

In the room, Evan had just washed herself and changed her clothes when she heard the knock on the door. Is he already back?

With a frown she walked towards the door but paid no effort to open it, "what do you need now?" she asked in a bit loud voice when the door was knocked again.

Her hands were crossed in front of her chest with determination that she would not let the beast in! She was strong like a red riding hood when it came to handling a hungry wolf!

"The lord had asked us to serve dinner, my lady!" 

"……" a look of embarrassment and traces of disappointment could be seen on her face when she heard the polite voice of the maid!

Was she thinking too much? Of course, he would be tired too, why would he come to his room!? What a silly thought she was entertaining!

Shaking her head, she opened the door to let the maids enter the room but her eyes widened when it met with the cold eyes of someone who seemed to be resting in his room.

The maid entered the room hurriedly to place the food and ran for her life before she saw an adult theater in front of her eyes yet when the man tried to enter, Evan held the door.

"What are you doing here?"
