1335 Duke North 6

However, he never purposely found a chance, because he was aware that the feelings would not be gone like this. So he kept this hope inside his mind without being aware of it.

It was not until he almost pa.s.sed away in the battlefield that he realized that Lady Chaoyan was so important in his heart.

It would never end, not with time pa.s.sing by, but what more could he do?

The guard looked at Duke North, and found that he was in an even worse position compared to a while ago when he was in a coma.

“Duke North, please don’t.”

“…”

“You are awake and you can just take some medicine, so you can recover, please, be motivated!”

“…”

“Think about Madame Duke North and Ms. Duke North! Madame Duke North keeps thinking about getting a grandson by the end of this year, and Ms. Duke North is so nice and friendly. Everyone is jealous of you for marrying someone like that.”

“…”

“You and Duke North Mansion are heading towards the right direction, so please, don’t do anything stupid!” the guard said with excitement.

Having said that, he looked at the Anecdote of Saint Divine that was not taken away. “Since you are done with the book, and Lady Chaoyan doesn’t care about it, I will burn it and everything will be gone.”

“…”

“Everything will be gone!”

Having said that, he really reached out for the book.

However, Duke North was extremely fast as he already had the book in his hands, glaring at the guard. “Just leave me alone.”

Having said that, he discreetly held the book in his hands as if he were looking at a piece of treasure. He flattened the crumbled places, rather than looking at the guard whose words had been ignored by him.

In his eyes, he only had a mind for the book.

The guard lowered his head. He had tried, but things seemed to have become worse, especially after the death he almost experienced, Duke North seemed to have changed.

Hopefully, Madame Duke North and Ms. Duke North would not be hurt.

That was the only thing he could do as a servant.

Outside.

Snow flew about, but the wind was not as strong as usual, so it wasn’t too annoying to walk outside.

Lord Huai held the umbrella, which was over Gu Chaoyan’s head, so there was no snow on her but there was a lot on him.

In front of them was the gate of Xinyang.

They were going out of it.

As they pa.s.sed by the gate, Lord Huai put away the umbrella, and continued forward as Sword One followed them.

Gu Chaoyan suddenly thought of something. She glanced back at Sword One, and saw that she had nothing in her hands, then she realized what was going on.

She was about to turn around when Sword One said with a guilty tone, “Elder Miss, it is my fault, I should not have offered him the book just because he asked me to.”

Gu Chaoyan looked up at Sword One’s eyes.

She paused and instead of walking forward, she gathered up her coat and said seriously, “That has nothing to do with you, a book is a dead thing that affects and changes nothing. Even without the book, things that will happen will happen, don’t blame yourself.”

Having said that, she walked out of the gate.

She was ready to make the array!
