She Pretended to Be His Wife to Escape the Bandits — The Duke Played Along Until They Were Alone

The road had been quiet moments before—until the bandits appeared. Horses surrounded the carriage, blades flashing in the fading light, leaving her with only seconds to act. Desperation forced the first lie that came to mind. “My husband will not be pleased,” she said firmly, stepping beside the tall stranger who had been traveling the same road. Without hesitation, she slipped her hand into his arm and addressed him softly. “Darling.” To her relief, the man immediately played along. His voice turned cold and commanding, his presence suddenly intimidating enough to make the bandits hesitate. Faced with what seemed to be a powerful noble couple, they quickly backed away. Only when the danger passed did silence fall between them. She turned to thank the stranger—only to realize who he truly was. The Duke himself. And now that they were finally alone, the man who had convincingly played her husband seemed very interested in continuing the conversation.
