Guidebook for the Dark Duke

his excuse was so stupid, he still smiled innocently, “I missed you very much too, Alia.
You know the book you gave to me before, Evan read it to me a few days ago.
But Evan said it was a bit advanced for me and not for my age.” (I somehow feel that this little kid knows who she wants to talk about and he’s leading her on )

When Alia heard these words, she felt really dissatisfied.
It was really abhorrent for someone like Reverend Bruce to criticize her taste, to slander her in front of a child.

“Lord Edward.” Alia said very quickly, “Please don’t believe what Reverend Bruce said.
You are the only son of Duke Wilson and the knowledge reserve you need is far higher than that of a normal child, that book is exactly what you should read.
You can’t lower your expectations by listening to Reverend Bruce’s ridiculous words, you must always remember that you are an honorable lord.”

Alia’s words are full of irony, especially about Evan.
It was like her words were filled with mockery towards Evan, it was almost overflowing.

But Edward’s face gradually turned cold at her words but Alia didn’t see such a change as she continued to say in a big way.

“Actually, what I want to say to you today is not only this, but what I want to tell you is that, you should also know that Mr Ford, who came to Delanlier this time, has known Reverend Bruce before.
He knows Reverend Bruce very well.
According to him, Reverend Bruce is not as simple and kind as he appears.
He is actually a very scheming person.
He took this opportunity to recover from his injuries to seduce Duke Wilson.
Now Duke Wilson has feelings for him.
Lord Edward, please stop such a terrible thing from happening, if this thing spreads, I am afraid that the Duke will be ruined!”

As she spoke, Alia was like an upright warrior, eyes full of righteousness.
She looked at Edward righteously, expecting the child’s reaction in her heart.
She expected him to turn pale with fright and throw himself into her arms for comfort, or immediately drive Reverend Bruce out of Cornwall Manor in anger.
No matter which result it was, Alia’s heart was extremely happy.

It’s just a pity that Edward didn’t have any of the above reactions, he looked at Alia coldly without any expression on his face.

“This is what you want to say to me?” His tone was very cold, with a childish voice that sounded a little weird.

Alia looked at Edward and couldn’t help shivering.
She had never seen Edward look like this.
Edward was always a weak and innocent child in her heart.

“I…I’m telling the truth.” Alia’s tone trembled slightly, and she suddenly found that things were not as simple as she thought.

“Huh! The truth?” Edward suddenly stood up from the chair, his short figure suddenly looked imposing at this moment.

“Miss Alia, you framed a gentleman in front of me with no evidence at all.
And you tell me this is the truth? Then I ask you, if Reverend Bruce is really as despicable and shameless as you say, what did he do? What’s the matter with him?” Edward’s eyes glowed with a dark light, looking very dangerous.

Alia looked at the child in front of her with disbelief.
This is not the innocent child she knew before.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that the child in front of her was a lord and a noble.
No nobleman in this world is pure.

“Lord…Edward…” Alia looked at him and murmured.
Of course she had no evidence.
When she heard Ford’s words about Reverend Bruce’s personality, she didn’t think about evidence at all, and subconsciously took his words as a fact.

Edward frowned, and his tone was very cold, “Miss Alia, you should call me Lord Edward.
Your behavior makes me despise you.
The friendship between you and I will end here!”

When Alia heard this, she suddenly felt a sense of despair in her heart.
Now, even Edward rejected her, which left her with no way out.

“Edward, no, my lord, listen to me.
Although I can’t provide any evidence for Reverend Bruce’s character, but I didn’t lie about the matter between him and Duke Wilson.
Now the Duke has been attracted to him, this is absolutely true, you must believe me.
The reputation of the Duke cannot be tarnished because of him, you must take action!”

Alia was not reconciled to being defeated like this, and before leaving, she put up a last struggle.

Edward looked at Alia coldly and sneered, “Miss Alia, I think you haven’t figured out the current situation! Why do you think I tried so hard to match you and Evan before? Of course it’s because I want Evan to stay with me.
Wouldn’t it be better now that you tell me that my father has feelings for him? He could stay at Cornwall Manor forever, stay with me forever.
It’s really a good thing.”

His expression was very cold, but his tone was very soft, and in such a situation, it seemed very strange.

Alia was completely taken aback by him.

Looking at the stunned Alia, Edward leaned down gently and whispered in her ear, “By the way, Miss Alia, your words reminded me that this matter cannot be spread out.
If I hear some news, then I will think you did it, and what you’ll need to pay will be beyond my control.”

Alia looked into Edward’s eyes, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
The child in front of her really doesn’t look like a six year old child.
He is simply a demon, a demon that has crawled out of hell!
( Oh Lord, I love this kid, he really gave it to her good)

T/N : I am very tired of seeing this Alia name.
The sooner I stop seeing it, the better I’ll feel, honestly.
