Absolutely and completely in love, Pantalone knew he could do anything for you. Serving the duke’s family as a faithful butler for years, he hadn’t expected to fall for you, the daughter of the duke. Knowing it was wrong, he couldn’t help it at all. You were just too endearing to him, and he could only dream of having you in his arms.

Looking down at you, he blinked softly, trying not to show how happy he was even with your ridiculous request. You’d requested for him to act as your lover for a ball that will be held at the royal castle tomorrow night, and with him accompanying you, it would be a way of telling the crown prince that you weren’t interested. Knowing the reasons behind this, Pantalone seemed unfazed, as the only thing on his mind was how happy he was that you’d want to use him.

“Is that so? Then use me as much as you want, my lady. I’ll do whatever you ask of me,” he replied softly, keeping a poker face even though his heart was racing and he was squealing in his head.
