My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 39: A Good Day

Chapter 39: A Good Day

Asher slept well for a long time and when he woke up, the room was empty.

Now, Asher was wondering what to do next. He was in this duke’s oversized clothes. And, it was obvious now it’s daytime.

’I came to the duke in the morning. I am sure we had sex for quite some time. This definitely can’t be the same day. This is morning. It’s a different day! Damn! I slept the night here?’

Asher got off the bed thinking his legs must be okay by now. But to his utter surprise, he immediately fell to the ground with his legs weak.

He tried to get up grabbing the bed but ended up pulling the bed sheet and throwing himself again onto the ground.

’Huh! Even this damn bed hates me!’

Asher was feeling grumpy and complained in his mind about everything before suddenly pausing when the door to the room was suddenly opened.

Asher saw the duke standing there with a surprised look on his face, and also somewhat...relieved??

"Finally, you are awake!"

The duke rushed to him and casually picked him up and placed him back on the bed along with the crumpled bed sheet on him.

"Duke..."

Aser was suddenly speechless. He waited for the duke to say something but the duke was silent, making it quite awkward.

"Duke, I was going to get off the bed. I should go back."

Asher watched the duke stare at him with frowned eyebrows.

’Did I say something wrong?’

Asher confusingly looked at the duke back.

"Asher...are you feeling okay now?"

"Y-yeah...I’m completely fine. My legs are a little weak, that’s it. "

"Mm...do you want to go back?"

"Yes."

"But isn’t it better to rest here a little more? When you can walk well, go out."

"I don’t want to bother the duke. Since I will have to bother you again."

"You are not bothering me. We are helping each other, so don’t think about it."

"Mmm..."

There was again silence.

"Asher..."

"Yes duke?"

"Why did you do that before?"

"What did I do duke?"

"You told me you want to kiss. Then you cried hugging me after kissing me."

"...?!"

Asher stared at the duke’s serious face and felt numb.

’No...I never did that? Are you crazy?’

"I- I did? I think you misunderstood."

"I was in my right mind at that time..."

"No... I don’t remember something like this happening."

"...You don’t...remember?"

"Duke... I don’t really remember if I really did that. I didn’t do such a thing. I don’t remember such a thing."

Asher tried to explain. But the duke just stared at him.

"Asher, you got your heat. You remember that right?"

Asher was stunned and just stared back at the duke in confusion, trying to make sense of what he was saying.

"I didn’t get my heat this time yet."

The duke frowned again and leaned closer to Asher again.

"You really don’t remember? You got your heat the very next day. We had sex for a long time. Then you slept for three long days."

Asher felt numb all over and tried to think. He didn’t remember anything. All he remembered was falling asleep.

"Duke, I don’t remember anything. I...definitely didn’t get my heat. Only you got your heat."

Asher tried to reason with the duke but then was silenced as the duke took off his shirt.

How could he say...

He had played with that man very well....

The duke’s shoulder had not one but more than five bite marks very clear. The structure of his teeth were printed into his skin. Then he felt all hot as he saw all those tiny red dots caused by sucking all over the duke’s upper body.

"You were very fierce. I even wonder if you have the strength to get up after seeing how you rode me till you passed out. Asher...this time I didn’t do anything. You did it all by yourself."

Asher was dazely staring at all the marks on the duke’s body.

’I...did this?!’

No way! Asher was still not having it. He doesn’t remember anything. How could he do such a nasty thing to the duke?

"D-duke...I don’t really remember. I don’t really remember. I am sorry."

Asher felt like crying. He was helpless. He couldn’t recall anything.

"It’s not a problem at all. I am just worried about you. How come you don’t remember a single thing? Even though I also sometimes have blank memories about the times when I am in heat, I never lose my memory completely like you."

Asher felt scared. How could such a thing happen?

"But...there might be a reason though. You got your heat when you were asleep. Along with that, maybe you forgot everything since you were exhausted. When you go into heat, you lose your senses most of the time. So let’s think it happened by chance. Don’t worry much. It will be alright."

Asher silently listened to the duke but still wasn’t convinced this was okay. He didn’t remember anything about that time. It was scary.

"Asher..."

Asher was zoning out full of thoughts. However, the duke’s call brought him back and Asher nodded, upset minded.

"Duke, did I do anything weird other than this?I would like to apologise."

Asher asked as he looked at the duke’s neck that had some marks still visible even though he had already put on his clothes.

"You did a lot of weird things..."

Asher looked at the duke in panic. What else did he do?

"W-what is it duke? I am really sorry...I really don’t remember."

Asher felt his vision getting blurry as his eye started tearing up. Seeing this, the duke sighed and got up.

"It’s nothing bad. Nothing to apologise. Now you should rest. Let’s talk later. Don’t go outside and stay in this room. I will come to see you when I am done. Until then, do anything you want here."

The duke left, leaving Asher still curious and eager to know what more embarrassing things he did.

’I don’t remember even a tiny bit. How come?! I thought I slept for a day after that day...’

Asher laid back on the bed but felt heavy with all the thoughts bothering him.

’Sigh...If this happens again, then I will definitely worry about this again.’

Asher fell asleep again. He was tired and no matter how much he slept, he still fell asleep. He couldn’t help but believe the duke now.

He always sleeps long like this after he has sex when he goes into heat. The last time too, he slept a lot.

When Asher was feeling better, he waited for a night before going back to his room in the servants’ house. Since he wasn’t close with anyone on one would suspect his whereabouts. So he didn’t have much to worry about.

After the incident slowly became old news to Asher with time, everything was very normal. But this time, Asher made sure to see a physician and buy some meds for him.

’How could I have a child when I don’t even have a wife?...’

Asher couldn’t help but laugh when he came back from the physician after the physician started lecturing him of how he shouldn’t avoid becoming a father and try to raise some kids to continue his bloodline. However, the physician gave the meds in the end anyway.

Everything went back to normal and Asher was busy as ever dealing with the cuteness and clinginess of his Miss.

Then, Asher was again called to see the duke for an important matter.

"We are going overseas to attend a festival. You are coming with me. We will be spending a month there."

Asher was quite taken aback and started asking a lot of questions. But the duke patiently answered every single question.

"Ah...Overseas?"

"Yeah, to the North Archen empire."

"Then...why me? Why don’t the duke bring Miss Anne with you? I am sure she will enjoy to-"

"It’s an official trip. I can’t bring my family. I have to bring a servant with me and that’s why I chose you."

"Because of the heats..."

"Hm...And also, I trust you to stay with me for this long time in a different empire. I don’t trust anyone else. I only have you."

"...Ah...I see...When is the duke going?"

"After two weeks."

"Okay then. How do I prepare?"

"Pack your clothes and anything you need. I will take care of my things by myself."

"...Okay duke."

"Anything else?"

"Nothing. I will do my best."

"...You don’t really have anything to do. Just stay with me when needed. That’s enough."

"Okay duke. I am leaving then. And thank you for choosing me."

"Hmmm..."

The conversation ended pretty quick and Asher couldn’t help but be quite excited.

’Overseas?! Wow...I never expected I would even get to think about it.’

Asher was in a good mood even though he knew the duke would obviously want Asher to deal with his heat when he is away.

’I wonder, how could he have dealt with his heat when he had to go on long trips like this before....Before I came to his help...’

The proud feeling of being this useful made Asher feel like he was doing a great thing, even though he himself needed that same help back.

’Guess someone was fated to get tangled with me.’

Asher was feeling really joyful today...
