บท 623: I heard that…

I waved at the citizens with a smile on my face, but I also said, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

The duke wasn't offended when he heard this and just calmly said, "I'm sure that there's something that we can talk about when we have a chance to talk alone. I hope that you will not reject me."

I didn't look at the duke, but I could tell from the tone of his voice what he wanted.

Still, this was also what I had wanted to see since this would give me the chance to get more information about the duke.

So I just gave a simple nod in the end.

The duke didn't say anything, but the pat that he gave on my shoulder was more than enough for me.

After waving at the citizens for a bit longer, we went back inside the carriage and sat back down.

I couldn't help looking at the duke for a bit before turning to look out the window.
