She Came from an Oracle

[Dragon-Taming Girl vs. The Grand Duke]

Powerful Leads, Sweet Romance, Plot

Zoe, a young maid, is secretly reading in the castle library.

Then she runs into the drunken duke.

He gazes at her through bleary eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Zoe tells a little white lie. "I'm tidying up, my lord."

The sweet way she says "my lord" stirs Hoen's heartstrings.

"I thought you were waiting here just for me."

"I wasn't... Mm..."

Hoen cups Zoe's cheek with one hand and kisses her hard.

Zoe's protest melts against Hoen's lips, still tinged with the scent of alcohol.

The two evenly matched lovers begin a tangled romance, entwined like vines, destined to last through lifetimes.
