The Grand Duke’s Fox Princess

all correct from her reaction, Heinricion slowly raised the corners of his mouth and said,

“I guess that’s why you’re trying to sneak into my house.
With whose permission?”

‘I knew it.
You’re not letting it slide.’

Eristella’s eyes were dark.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered this situation at all.

If her identity was discovered, how would she persuade him? She had been thinking about a number of different cases.
But when she suddenly faced this situation, she was at a loss.

‘I have to come up with a reason why I can’t be kicked out…….
Ah, I’m going crazy.’

The persistent stare of Heinricion kept following her, to the point that her fur stood upright and the back of her head stinged.

“Fox.”

‘…….!’

Heinricion hummed lightly.

“Fox.”

His sweet voice pressed her down.

“What are you up to.”

The expression of Heinricion, who had been playfully humming, suddenly became firm.

“I’ll bring you paper and a pen.
Would you like to write it yourself?”

She felt the will to hear an answer from her.

‘This is dangerous.’

It was when she wondered how she could get out of his sight.

Tok, tok.

She heard the sound of saving.

Eristella jumped at Heinricion and signaled him to let her go.
But he didn’t pay attention to that and kept his eyes fixed on her.

‘Why are you looking at me!’

‘This crazy, really!’

It was during the time when she had the urge to protest.

Tok, tok.

There was another hurried knock on the door.

“Your Highness, I am coming in for a moment.”

There was an impatient voice, thenn the door opened and Rowen entered.

At that moment, Heinricion took his eyes off Eristella and turned around.

‘Ha…….
I lived.’

‘I never thought I’d be so happy to see Rowen.’

‘Indeed, you’ll see many things if you live a long time.’

At Rowen’s appearance, Eristella’s face brightened noticeably.
Her eyes shone, hoping Rowen would divert the attention of Heinricion.

‘All right, it’s better if you take Heinricion out like this!’

However, it seems that it was Heinricion, not Rowen, who received her support.

Heinricion suddenly turned his head, and glanced at Eristella with narrowed eyes.
Of course, with her quick wits, she avoided it like she didn’t register anything.

However, the problem Rowen brought right now took precedence over the subtle current between Heinricion and Eristella. 

“Your Highness.
We have a rather urgent problem.”

Rowen’s face looked very serious as he began speaking.

Even Eristella, who had been relieved by Rowen’s appearance until now, was a little worried..

However, the moment of concern passed and she quickly shook her head.

The most important thing for her now was to buy time.

She wouldn’t have gotten out of it if he had pushed more.
Then there was no way Heinricion would accept her. 

While Heinrichion had a problem, Estella had to recollect herself.

The fox’s little mind moved busily.

“Your Highness.
The Marquis of Haveling dropped by.”

As soon as he heard Rowen’s report, Heinricion’s forehead wrinkled.

Eristella quickly noticed even the small change in Heinricion.
The look on his face showed that he was already tired.

It was a clear sign.

“The young lord is with him.”

Rowen’s face suddenly darkened.

Leighton Haveling, a dignitary of the Marquis of Haveling.
(TL/N: dignitary – person of importance.)

He was the nephew of Heinricion.

To be precise, he was the son of Marquis Oliver Haveling, Heinricion’s half-brother who married into his wife’s family.

However, the two died in an accident a year ago.
Leighton was the only heir.

The issue was that heirs under the age of 15 could not carry on the family line.

However, if there was no other heir, there was a system in which a guardian would take care of the heir until he turned 15-years-old.

Patrick, who came with Leighton, was now Leighton’s guardian.

Eristella glanced at Heinricion.

“I’ll see him soon.”

Heinricion rose to his feet.

Before he moved, he looked back at Eristella.

He seemed to ponder for a moment, but as if he had no intention of taking her with him, he headed straight for the drawing room.

Eristella quietly stepped back.
She wondered what was going on, but it was more important now to be as invisible as possible from Heinricion’s eyes.
