My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 108: What Have You Done To Me?

Chapter 108: What Have You Done To Me?

Because of the sudden change in Asher’s attitude she did not expect to come from Asher, Nala stepped back, feeling threatened.

Asher glared at her, without even blinking, trying to guess what this woman’s problem was. He was really pissed about her comments from before so he wanted to know more as to why she was acting so hostile. According to what he remembered, he had never done anything to offend this woman.

"Go away!"

Nala tried pushing Asher away physically which she failed at as Asher was obviously stronger than her, and...now, mad and unmovable.

"Haa...Look. I don’t care what your problem is. But you better control that mouth."

Asher said in annoyance as he got away from her by himself, then giving her a disgusted look.

"Huh! Do you think you can look down on me and talk to me like that? You are just some random servant, just like me! You’re still a low life even if you managed to seduce the duke. You can never stand to the same level as the duke no matter what you do."

Asher listened to her rant, ready to continue this conversation. Before he could really say anything, he couldn’t help but leave a chuckle as he thought about what he just heard. It was ridiculous.

"Did I ever tell anybody I want to be on the same level as the duke? I think you’re hallucinating."

Asher said with sarcasm filling his voice, making Nala hesitate but argue back.

"You will never be the one for the duke. You’re the one hallucinating."

Asher looked at her with a raised eyebrow now really really curious as to why she was so against him and the duke being lovers. From what he talked with her or argued about, that’s what he understood. She hated the fact he and the duke are lovers. That seemed to be what made her angry toward him the most.

Well, he and the duke were not really lovers. But he guessed people were seriously believing that rumour was true.

"Or really? I am not the one? Then, who is that perfect person for the duke? You talk like you already know the one. Shall we see how he is better than me?"

Asher asked, making Nala take a few deep breaths before screaming at him again.

"Do you think a man like you can keep the duke in your grasp forever? Only a beautiful woman with a kind heart can make a man happy! You don’t even have anything to compare."

Nala said with a scoff, making Asher leave a chuckle again.

"Oh....So it’s a woman you are talking about. Well it’s good you said that. Now I know it’s not about you. You don’t have a kind heart anyway."

Asher said, watching Nala staring at him with a red face, looking even furious.

"I hope the duke will see who is best for him and get rid of the unwanted leeches."

Nala said again, smirking at Asher as if she won.

This made Asher chuckle again.

Isn’t she hilarious?

He couldn’t help but laugh at her.

"Right...Let’s go and see the duke. You can tell him how I am not perfect for him and who is perfect for him. I am sure he will be excited to know some random maid working in the kitchen finally knows what’s best for him. Right! And, he definitely won’t be mad about you calling me a horny slut and a low life. He definitely won’t be mad! Let’s go!"

Asher said and extended his hand toward her, trying to show he was trying to pull her and drag her to see the duke. She immediately backed off and stared at Asher with a big frown.

"What are you waiting for? Let’s go."

Asher said with a smirk, watching Nala grit her teeth and cursing him out under her breath.

After a moment of silence, Asher decided that’s enough and gave his final warning before leaving.

"If you don’t dare to talk to the duke, then keep that mouth shut. He knows what’s best for him. A low life like me, and you, can’t advise him. Because like you said...he is our master. And, he chose me not whoever is the perfect person you are talking about. It’s his decision so stop bothering me. You have no right. Get lost."

Asher said and then walked away without even sparing a glance at her. But he definitely saw her clenched fist. He was annoyed more than ever after continuing arguing with her. He never thought he could be so angry and talkative to look down on someone. It felt like he saw a side of himself he never knew. He always thought he was a humble, innocent, weak guy. Maybe anger controlled him at that moment...

As he walked back, he turned to see the duke’s office, then biting his lower lip, he hesitated.

’Fuck it. I am upset.’

Asher changed his route, walked to the duke’s office, knocked on the door.

"Duke, it’s me."

Asher said in a shaky voice, then stepping inside as the permission was granted.

Felix obviously noticed the weird behaviour of Asher as soon as he entered.

The usual Asher who always entered there grinning teasingly, looked drained that day. And, he was wobbling while walking, had half opened eyelids, was continuously sighing and looked like he hadn’t slept the night.

"Duke..."

Asher mumbled under his breath and stood in front of the duke’s table, looking at him guiltily.

"Asher, you are not doing well...."

The duke said and Asher nodded, hesitating a little before asking for what he needed.

"Duke...Sorry to disturb you. But...can I...stay here for a little?"

"...Ah! Yeah...come here."

The duke said and Asher without hesitation, rushed to the duke who then pulled him closer, to his lap.

Asher adjusted himself, then putting his hand around the duke’s neck, he left a groan to show his frustration.

It was the first time they were like that. Sitting on the lap, hugging. But...it wasn’t weird. Must be because helping Asher was more important to Felix and seeing the duke was more important for Asher at that moment.

"Why are you upset? Are you not feeling well?"

The duke asked as he put his hands around Asher’s waist to which Asher buried his face in the duke’s head. Now that Asher was sitting on the duke’s lap, he was taller and he had to look down while the duke had to look up to see him. Not much difference, but it was still different.

Asher watched the duke’s eyes observing him, still asking questions, seemingly worried.

"Ugh...Duke, I am upset..."

After Asher complained so, it took some time for the duke to respond back.

"...Aa...Should I give you a kiss too?"

Felix asked hesitantly because, well, in a time Asher seemed not doing fine...would he sound like a pervert to ask something like that?

However, this was exactly what Asher was waiting for. So he immediately nodded, watching the duke moving up closer to his face.

He was doing what he wanted.

Why?

Did that mean they were not just a master and a slave?

But...

Like Nala said...he would never be the one. He was just some helper to the duke. That’s right...

When the duke has a ’real’ lover, no matter what they talked about, the duke would have to cut ties with him.

Fuck that Nala....He was upset again.

But...since when did he start to even think he could be the ’one’ for the duke?

He never thought so...

So, why was he even upset about not being that ’one’ and being ’just some helper’?

Since all those ran through his mind, Asher was busy sorting out his thoughts till Felix held his cheeks in his palms, very gentle, then leaning closer to reach Asher’s lips.

Right...Felix was going to kiss him.

Uhh...Well...he was really going to kiss, but...

’I thought...I was supposed to kiss you?’

Felix couldn’t help but think as before his lips could touch Asher’s, Asher bent to do it himself.

He held Felix’s face, but...well...Felix wouldn’t say he was gentle. He must be in a bad mood so he will just...

"Ugh!"

Felix couldn’t help but let out a grunt in pain when Asher violently bit on his lips, then sucking and licking them carefully, soothing the sudden pain. And, in the midst of this, Felix tasted something salty which he thought could be blood at first till he realised it was not.

Asher was crying.

This caught off guard Felix and he stared at Asher whose eyes were closed yet tears falling through the cheeks, their tongues sharing the falling tears.

The kiss wasn’t important at that moment.

Felix wanted to know what the problem was.

He tried pushing away Asher but failed. Asher put his hand behind his neck and grabbed tightly, holding him in place as Felix was moving, then continuing to fight Felix’s tongue that was roaming around trying to get away.

Felix was at a loss.

Asher was...kind of scaring him.

He needed to talk to him.

Why was Asher so persistent to continue the kiss?

Felix in the end, gave up.

He just relaxed his body, which resulted in Asher also loosing his grip on Felix’s back of the neck.

When Asher finally pulled away his lips, he opened his eyes to see the duke coughing, then raising his head to look at him.

Asher, not so thoughtfully, put his hand on Felix’s head, then caressing.

"Duke...I think I know why I am so upset like this."

Uh...so he didn’t know why he was upset all this time?

Felix stared at him, waiting for Asher to say it so he could say something to comfort him.

But, he was left speechless and dumbfounded when he finally confessed his worry...

"It’s all because of you. What have you done to me duke? Hng... Hic!"
