"You are dismissed, so you can head back now. I am done talking to you for the time being"
The Duke dismissed Mary easily with the flick of his finger. He had talked to Mary about whatever he wanted, and now he did not want to see her anymore.
One of his experiments was close to finishing, and if he was successful, he was sure that he would not need to spend a fortune on fostering kids anymore.
Instead, the Duke could make an army of his own using his own hands and methods. And those monsters he was about to create would be much more durable and loyal than any kid he could handle.
The duke waited for Mary to leave, but she was still standing there when he turned around.
Her presence and the Duke's lack of awareness of her aura made him pause before he clutched his heart in fear.
"What are you thinking about? Are you not going to leave?"
