The skies were constantly tearing up, nearly flooded the palace gates. She was stuck with the reaper, nervously waiting until the dark clouds shifts. Her eyes sluggishly shutting, she wanted to doze off even for a little time. Unconsciously, her head fell to the pillow placed on the couch. Noah threw a glance and saw the sleeping Raeliana. Exhibiting a weird expression whilst on her sleep, the duke became very fond of her. His first impression was merely a judgment, but was never proven to be right. The Raeliana he was gazing right now was evidently different from the Raeliana he met before.
Noah sat beside Raeliana, ogling at the sleeping lady. He wasn't aware that he stepped closely to her. His feet involuntarily moved on its own upon witnessing a very beautiful sight. He let a small smile on his lips without a thought. It seems he was unable to resist the charms of Raeliana. He lifted his finger and ran along to her cheeks. He was amused on the lips that was pressed cushily and hair locks veiling her beautiful face. Noah was tempted to flourish her cheeks once more, but was afraid to wake the sleeping Raeliana. Looking at her was like a thing that forces its way to his heart. Thumping at incredible speed, it was no doubt that the duke has felt something special for Raeliana.
"What's with this feeling? Am I a completely lunatic for sparing another glance at this woman?"
Denying his true feelings, it resulted a disturbance to the resting Raeliana. Her eyes opened sweetly and squinted upon seeing Noah that was few inches away from her.
"D-duke?" Squeezing her tongue that was tangled on her mouth. Noah retracted from his position and suddenly rose to his feet.
"Y-you have a dirt on your nose. I-i came to help you, nothing else." Stuttering every first word on the sentence. Raeliana was entertained of the duke's silly lie. She hasn't anticipated the reaction from the duke, and was completely blown upon the reaction. "Darn, I can't deny that male lead is one of a hell beautiful guy."
