Chapter 2 2

"I'll be gone for a week." Said the Duke.

I raised my eyebrows while eating.

We're in the dining room we're eating dinner!

"I'll be joining the war."

I dropped my utensils and stared at him. Isn't the war over the past?

Well he didn't explain so maybe it's confidential?

"I-I guess good luck! Be safe!" I said.

I don't even know what to say!

I have a brother who always participates in the war, but we're not close so I couldn't say my best wishes to him!

I heard a chuckle from him so my eyebrows rose.

"What's so funny my Lord?" wondering my question.

"Instead of saying it. You should kiss me good luck." he said with a stunned look.

It looks like my face is burning! Feeling I'm blushing.

"And we are the first name basis, you should call me Felix, cross out my lord thing,"

I nodded and continued eating.

Then Manang bathed me again. Even though I told him I could not stand it.

He dressed me in my nightgown. Just like a kid. And I drank milk.

I shrugged when he left.

The duke and I have separate rooms. I asked. I don't want her to be in the same room! Maybe I can't sleep!

I turned on the lamp light on my study table and took out the paper.

I also took the ink and the feather ballpen from the drawer.

I started writing a letter for my father. He should know what's going on with me! It might be a heart attack again!

When I finished I nodded and entered it into a white envelope. I put a wax on it.

I took a cutter and sliced ​​one of my fingers.

A drop of my blood and it's all done! Dad will know that I am!

The next morning I woke up early to see Felix's departure!

She won't even eat because she's in a hurry. The sun is not rising yet!

I have a scarf on my neck so I won't be cold!

"When I'm not there, you will manage the mansion. The expenses and the papers. Don't worry our Butler will assist you," he said.

I stared at him while he was putting his sword in its compartment.

He ran his fingers through his hair and he really looks hot.

I stepped toward him.

"Good luck! Come back home safe,"

She sucked, holding back the smile.

I shook my head and nodded to reach her.

But before I could do what I did, he reached for my neck and he scooped a handful of my hair making me open my mouth.

Our lips met. He gave me a deep kiss. His tongue went inside to explore a bit. And then he suckled mine.

It was like I was out of breath afterwards.

I was awake and processing what had happened. Then I felt him kiss my forehead.

He opened the carriage and entered there.

"Be a good wife while I'm away," he said before the carriage vanished infront of me.

Is it in the contract to kiss?

"Where are you going Ma'am?" asked a soldier as I exited the mansion.

"I'll just take it to the post office, I'm with Manang!" I smile.

They nodded and the gate opened us.

We will just walk the town. It's just near.

"It was like just yesterday you wanted to leave," Manang laughed.

I laughed too. Maybe he was thinking that I was a gold digger, that Felix was just a wealth of my claim. Well, that's true!

I have to live! And one of my needs is money!

We got to town and went straight to the post office. I gave the letter to Papa and paid some coins.

Hope my message will come to him.

We passed the bakeshop so I thought about buying some breads there.

Manang helped me carry it.

We were about to leave the town when I met my co -workers in the beer house.

"Oi Vena! You're fine with a jackpot!" said Marlyn.

I'm feeling bad about this.

"What? Did you give her your dear pearl?" Cherry said laughing.

"I'm sorry we were in a hurry," I said.

I was ahead of Manang but before I could step I had a pull on my hair.

"What!" I shouted at them.

"When the Duke finds it out-" Manang said.

Marlyn's hand crossed.

"What? Are you going to report us? It's like we're not working with you," he cut off.

"What vena? Will you forget your source? Because you are rich?" Cherry.

I raised their eyebrows.

"I didn't say anything. You just started it," I moaned in anger.

They would have been kidnapped! They would have thrown garbage outside for Felix to get them!

"Ah are you brave now?" Marlyn. "You've just been rich, brave,"

I would have spoken to someone in the middle of us.

"What's with this commotion my lady?" asked a soldier.

"There's nothing to waste our time here," I replied coldly.

Marlyn just smiled at me.

We left there with four soldiers.

"Where's your carriage my lady?" asked it.

I was really upset when they said 'My Lady'.

"We just walked here,"

I don't know them but they know me. Only one day passed and many knew the duke was married.

They took us with a carriage and took us there.

"Sorry for what happened,"

She just smiled and fixed my hair.

"It's nice to be brave," she murmured and it made me smile.

We got to the mansion and I gave the other bread to the bread.

I remember Felix saying that there were papers that needed to be hired.

I went straight to his office and met his butler.

"Good morning ma'am," greeted an old man to me.

I only nodded. It was as if I had no desire to speak because before.

Butler pointed out where and what papers my attention needed.

It was as if I wanted to pick Felix when he saw the mountain-mountain of papers he had left for me to work with!

Looks like I don't have a vacation!
