Awww they both have loads of misunderstanding which could be easily solved. The duke seems very naive and innocent which could mean his approach is a little insensitive but I hope MC can overlook it. He seems kinda sweet.
Heh. So the reason he didn't greet her was just because he knows he's scary and has bad social skills.
The duke quite won me over this chapter. He's just this awkward puppy who doesn't know how to people. Poor female lead is still stressed as all heck though.
Serenia gave me an off feeling. I couldn't figure out what was her true intention. Was that only training or she wanted the duke spent more time with her every night. And she was treated as a princess with that dress, jewelry, and even maid. No wonder maids in that mansion considered her as their lady.
