The Duke couldn't bear to see her like that anymore. He hastily asked in an impatient tone, "Yes. Can I help you now, Miss? It seems that you are in pain. Let me help you please."
Aylin nodded her head positively and instantly, the Duke of Sol began to untie her hands. The ropes bruised her wrist and for the first few minutes, Aylin only stretched her arms and legs to chase away that numbness. But, she was more worried about her revealing dress.
