It is clear that the duke has been observing her for a long time. He knew about her struggles and never looked down when she expressed her fear. His first reaction was to protect her and he knew what he had to do so that she wouldn't get too shocked. Putting his hand over her eyes illustrates his sensitivity. Later, he was the one who showed more concern for her and forced her to get treated. I feel the blond man is not sincere and uses his handsome face to manipulate the priestress.
He feels shady or like he being fake for some reason. I can't even really explain why I feel that way. Oh he's very pretty lol
