An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2054

"W-What!"

Dalen's words surprised the few people standing there. It took them a moment to process the unexpected revelation.

Miles, who had been expressing his feelings, stood still with an awkward smile. His eyes widened, hands hovering in confusion.

How could that happen? Could it be that his daring rescue mission, intended for a damsel, was actually for a man?

"A man? You're... kidding, right?" The girl in red scrutinized Dalen with disbelief on her face. How could someone with such an attractive face be a man?

Crystal hesitated, mouth slightly agape, unsure of how to react.

So, the troublemakers from the Butcher Guild, who had caused a ruckus earlier, weren't harassing a woman but a man? This unexpected turn of events was truly one of a kind.

"I'm not kidding. I'm a real gentleman," Dalen affirmed with a nod. Mistaking his identity wasn't new for him when he ventured outside.

The girl in red hesitated before stating, "But your appearance..."

"I've got a male body with a female appearance, can't do much about it." Dalen shrugged, feeling somewhat helpless.

"What a shame." The girl in red shook her head.

For him to have such a pretty face, wouldn't it be awesome if it were hers?

"Miles, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" The girl in red patted Mile's shoulder when she saw him still in a daze.
