[Royal Court – At Afternoon]
Court Noble 1
(Whispering)
Duke Devereaux… He came himself?
Court Noble 2
Why is he here??
Court Noble 1
Does he intend to demand something from the king?
Lucian didn’t spare them a glance. His sharp silver eyes were locked onto the throne.
Damon Montrevaux(Prince/Novel ML)
How arrogant, walking in like he owns the court.
(Scoffs)
Evangeline Sinclair(FL/villainess)
**He truly has the presence of a villain.... No wonder the novel made him feared.**
Lucian stopped before the throne, bowing his head slightly in a show of respect—though everyone knew it was merely formality.
Alistair Montrevaux(king)
Duke Devereaux....to what do we owe this unexpected visit?
Evangeline Sinclair(FL/villainess)
**So this is—the moment our engagement will be made officially**
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
I have come to receive your blessing.(calmly)
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
I intend to take Lady Evangeline Sinclair as my wife.
Noblewoman #1
(Whispering)
What??
Noblewoman #2
The Ice Duke wants a wife?
(Shocked)
Damon Montrevaux(Prince/Novel ML)
(Eyes darkened)
Damon Montrevaux(Prince/Novel ML)
And you think you can just claim her like a prize?
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
I do not think..... I know this.(coldly)(smirk)
Genevieve Montrevaux(Queen)
Duke Devereaux, you’ve never shown interest in marriage before. Why now??
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
I do not see why I must explain myself to anyone about my betrothed.
Celeste(Marquis Daughter/ML's admirers)
**why this is happening…....**
Celeste(Marquis Daughter/ML's admirers)
(Forcing a smile)
Duke Devereaux...
Evangeline Sinclair(FL/villainess)
**Now who is she??...let me think...**
Evangeline Sinclair(FL/villainess)
Evangeline Sinclair(FL/villainess)
**Ohhh....Celeste Ravenshire, a well-bred noble who had always admired Lucian from afar.**
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
(watching her) (slightly smile)
Celeste(Marquis Daughter/ML's admirers)
**why he's looking at her like that**
(clenching jaw)
Celeste(Marquis Daughter/ML's admirers)
Forgive me, Duke....but I recall you saying that you had no need for a wife.
Evangeline Sinclair(FL/villainess)
**Oh, she’s in love with him.**
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
And yet, here I stand with one.(coldly)
Damon Montrevaux(Prince/Novel ML)
Then answer me this—do you love her?
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
Why wouldn’t I?
(smirk)(looking at evangeline)
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
She is intelligent, bold, and unlike anyone I’ve met....
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
Wouldn’t it be expected for a man to admire his future wife??
Evangeline Sinclair(FL/villainess)
**This… isn’t how it went in the novel. He was supposed to dismiss the idea of love. What is he planning?**
Genevieve Montrevaux(Queen)
And Evangeline? Do you accept this marriage??
Evangeline Sinclair(FL/villainess)
I do....(Glancing at Lucian)
Celeste(Marquis Daughter/ML's admirers)
(Clenching fists)
**She doesn’t deserve him.**
Alistair Montrevaux(king)
Very well.... The engagement is approved.
Lucian Devereaux(ML/Duke/Villain)
Shall we.....my dear fiancée?
(in low voice)
Evangeline Sinclair(FL/villainess)
Of course, my dear fiancé.(smirk)
Celeste(Marquis Daughter/ML's admirers)
** I won’t accept this.**
Damon Montrevaux(Prince/Novel ML)
(Jaw tightens)
**Something isn’t right about this.**
Damon Montrevaux(Prince/Novel ML)
**He’s up to something…**
