My Lady Chef novel Chapter 9

Illios Kingdom's East Encampment

Kilne Plains, Kree region

Ezran's POV:

My name is Ezran, 20th duke of Aisenburg and currently, I am about wage conflict against another country...again.

The impending war with the Guthrians was a futile attempt at invading our lands. For years, the greedy pigs have started to raid our supply wagons frequently and now, they are bold enough to start encroaching on our borders.

Which cannot be tolerated anymore.

The King has given his order and decreed that I will quell the enemy ruler's forces and told me to fight in the name of the Holy Kingdom Illios.

They thought to push us back since we are currently at war with two other countries but what they do not know is that I am the commander of this force.

And I never lose a battle.

I always win.

After a month of preparations and moving battalions of infantry soldiers, mages, and knights; assigning my knights as commanders to various units.

My only duty is to await deployment to fulfill my plans.

As I entered my tent which was well furnished with all that I need to stay comfortable, The image of the woman I married a month ago somehow managed to work its way to my mind.

Somehow I was wondering why did I even choose to join with her? I have had lots of young women sneak into my room or tent begging for favors.

They all sound the same. I can smell their greed and their desire for the lofty position of being my duchess but most women are weak to my intimidating aura so a minute in my presence often makes them tremble, shiver, cry, and then they avoid me...if they have not passed out yet

I can only count a few women who could tolerate my presence.
