Fake Wife of the Duke

I woke up to feel my head reading.

I stood up looking at who I was with.

"Just sit down Ma'am! You might even stand up!" Said a lady.

I rolled my eyes and realized that I was in a large bathroom.

And lately I was soaked in water with flowers. I looked at myself, my eyes widened and sat down again and hid my naked body in the water.

"Don't be shy Ma'am! Your body is beautiful!" She approached me continuing to shave my hair.

Because of the confusion I let her know what she was doing.

"What am I doing here?" I will ask.

He didn't answer.

I remembered that the man had said something to me before I was dying.

Wife daw?

After I was in the bathroom, Manang dressed me in a fancy dress.

I retreated when he showed me a smile.

"I want to go home!" I suddenly cried and he was shocked.

Her face was swollen again.

I heard the door open and the man I was talking to was spitting there.

He stared at me and I was conscious.

"What took you so long?" angry man asked the lady.

Manang just stooped.

I approached Manang and let her do what she would do again. I feel pity for her. It's not his fault.

The man sat on the bed and just looked at the process of dressed.

Manang took off the robe I was wearing. I swallowed and laughed because a man was looking at me. Fortunately I have panties!

She put on the brassiere and followed the dress. She fixed my hair and put a make up on her face. Light lang.

Then Manang left. I saw the man standing up and approached me.

He's so tall! Until he shoulders me!

"What do you want from me?" I immediately asked.

"Act as my wife." he replied.

My forehead twitched.

"This is kidnapping! I'll sue you!" I threatened him.

"You can't sue the duke," he smirked. "And this ain't kidnapping. You're not a kid anymore,"

I feel like I'm going to explode in his philosopher.

"Let me go! I don't know why you want me to be a wife-"

"Pretend to be a wife." He corrected me.

"Even so! This is against the human rights! What would the people say when they found out that their dear Duke had committed a crime!"

I retreated to him.

She sucked and had a paper on the table.

I stared at it and angrily looked at her.

"You need to sign this so the contract will be completed."

"What if I don't agree?" I'm challenging.

"Then I'll make you agree by force?" That was a threat.

My hands are swollen.

"You know? Why don't you ask the daughters of the Baron and the count? I'll bet they'll do this job perfectly than me!"

Is my life quiet and will he just interfere? The last thing I want to do is get married.

"I like the low statuses. They can't meddle with some of my business."

He stood up.

"Now," getting impatient. Seeing his face in a hurry. "I'm really bad when I get mad" he threatened.

I pulled out your paper. And read the ones written there.

"Will I benefit from this?"

Can I get something? And why is it? I am kidnapped and forced to do this. Do you think Venna can get you?

"Of course. You'll have full access to my bank account. What is mine, is yours too," he said confidently.

I took the ball and immediately signed the paper.

I'm quick to talk to just money!

I was drinking tea while watching people who were here at the tea party.

The host is the daughter of Baron Nallon. And Duke Vilchez just invited us here.

I'm the only one here at the table. My dear wife left me. I feel like he's looking for a lot of people.

I heard some whispers about me.

I know! I'm not as high class as you all are! But now I am!

I stood up high.

And go to the table with sweets! I took a cupcake and ate it softly.

Three women approached me. And they were the ones who were talking behind my back!

Let's see. What we have here.

"Nice to meet you Duchess Vilchez," smiled one.

I just smiled. Not wanting to interact.

"We notice that dress you're wearing was branded as a limited edition in our favorite boutique! That's so lucky of you!" said the other one.

"Your husband must really spoiled you huh?" They giggled.

My smile was gone. What exactly do they need from me?

"There's a rumor that's spreading earlier, that you came from a beer house? Is it true?" worried one question.

So this is their purpose?

"H'wag Nelly!" One by one. "The duke shouldn't pick a low class like a waiter in a beer house, right duchess Vilchez?" Then she giggled.

I have been fooled by this girl!

"Whoever spreads that or she must be challenging the House of Vilchez, right?"

I could feel the handkerchief on my side.

They lost their smiles.

"When my dear wife found out it might get angry," I made a sad face. "I don't want him to be angry! Maybe stress!"

I wiped the handkerchief with a small tears that came out of my eyes. I'm a good actress so why not try my skills now?

"He or she must be punished right?"

I looked at them one by one and nodded. They are afraid to smile.

"Y-yes Duchess! When we find out who is spreading this gossip, we will immediately report to you!" One replied and his companions nodded.

"Thank you!" I sound really grateful.

They said goodbye to me and I went back to my seat.

They really think I can't take them down huh? Well they got it wrong!

I'm laughing at my will!

After a half an hour, the duke went back to me. She was with Baron Nallon and her daughter.

"Nice to meet you duchess," Baron greeted.

"Nice to meet you too Baron Nallon, you look radiant today!" Bati ko.

The Duke kissed my forehead and I just smiled at him.

I couldn't help but look at Baron's son who had just given me a bad look.

"Nice to meet you Lady Jeanne!" I greeted it.

He didn't answer me so I laughed at his justice.

"I'm sorry Duchess my daughter's not in the mood right now,"

I gave an 'Oh!' Look and smile.

Duke and Baron talked a lot about the war in the past.

I didn't even have to say what they were saying so I just ate.

"You know? A lady shouldn't eat that much," Lady Jeanne told me.

I rapidly blinked my eyes at her remark. I put my cupcakes in the saucer.

While wiping the hand I asked him.

"And why is that my lady?"

He suffered.

"Didn't you read books? To maintain the body of a lady you should eat less! To satisfy one man's needs!"

Suddenly Duke and the Baron stopped.

I raised my eyebrows.

"You see, I'm not born to satisfy anyone, my lady. So why follow some crappy girly books?" I teased her.

She was surprised.

"I'm not a child duchess Vilchez. So don't treat me like a kid!"

"But you haven't even celebrated your coming of age yet," I pouted to tease her more.

"Vena." Duke threatens me.

Baron laughed and I saw Lady Jeanne's anger.

Well, I'm just being honest!

"That's why you rejected my proposal! Because you chose this trash! Really? A waitress from a beer house?" Lady Jeanne said angrily and stood up.

He got the attention of some so I was joking. For him.

"Jeanne!" Baron Nallon said.

Her chest is high because of anger! I'm going to fire the fire!

"Baron Nallon," Duke called.

Fear of turning it to the Duke.

"Y-yes Duke?"

My wife stood up and supported me.

"We promised to close this matter, to not cause any troubles in the future." It sounds like a threat.

"I will fix this matter, this'll never happen again," it stooped.

I approached my wife. I snake my arms into his arms and leaned against his arms.

"Lady Jeanne, I think you know already why I rejected your proposal,"

The woman took a deep breath and nodded. Maybe there's a reason right? Why is he still blaming me?

We didn't finish the party and left the venue.

"Okay? Am I doing good pretending as your wife?" I asked as I took off the gloves I was wearing.

"You caused trouble, so no." He looks disappointed.

His handsome face made a tired expression.

I sucked and looked at the scene outside the carriage.

Maybe I should be good next time!

"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!

"Only one kingdom is not interrupted by our king, it is the Monalian Kingdom," explained John, The Butler.

I signed the papers he had given me a while ago while listening to his teachings as well.

"No one dares to challenge that Kingdom. We're not enemies nor friends with,"

I stopped and looked at him. He was standing there, prim and proper. He adjusted his eyeglass when he saw my curious face.

"People know how strong the Northern Kingdom is, even the duke," he explained.

I nodded and went back to signing.

He told me a lot more. Even though I knew I had let it go.

Who dares to go to the north? It's so cold there? You have not yet reached the Monalian Kingdom you may die in the cold.

Knights are also trained well. It seems like assassins so no one really try to beat their kingdom.

They do not fight for no reason.

I stretched my arms upwards when I finished signing John.

I still want to do more! Cook sweets! Oh, try the gowns in my cabinet! Or you can sleep too!

But my face was lost when I saw more paperwork needed.

I got up and opened the door to the veranda. I went out there and breathed.

It's been two days and all I did was sit down and write on the papers.

Manang just brought me some food and went back to work again!

I sighed. I roam my eyes around the garden below. There's a pond in between. It's still full of water lilies!

I want to go there but I don't have time!

I looked at the paperwork again. I'll run out of that today.

I've read reports. Wrote some replies. Read some invitation to a party and declined them.

I am drained. I had no desire to walk back to my room and lie down there.

I'm happy because it's done but my whole body aches! And I immediately fell asleep.

I was stunned by the sunshine of the sunlight on my face.

I saw Manang calmly opening the window.

Arghh !! I still want to sleep!

"Good morning duchess, your food is ready to go downstairs," he smiled.

I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. As usual he bathed me and dressed me.

I walked down the stairs and walked around the whole mansion.

Now I just noticed that its design is so boring!

From here I see the dust on the curtain.

"Please wash the curtains. It's dusty, its color is no longer seen-" I stopped.

Am I allowed to make them do this?

I used to look at Manang. With someone talking to an assistant!

"Get curtains, the duchess is washed,"

Your girl nodded and left.

I think yes, I am allowed. I'm the duchess, so yes.

I smiled at the dining room and ate there.

On the third day Felix was gone I cleaned his mansion!

Although they couldn't do that for just one day because of its size and more rooms.

But it will end, before my dear wife arrives!

Five days have passed and the mansion seems to have come out! It still shines in my eyes.

Now I'm taking the garden. I decided I would plant it with roses. It's not fun to look at just green!

Unlike the mansion, the garden is well taken care of. I thought the pond will be green and will look nasty but it's really clean and clear!

Thanks to our gardener!

I put a table and a seat at the bottom of the tree so I could do nothing in the mansion.

I sat there and drank some tea. I asked one of the gardeners to have some of my cupcakes but he didn't want to.

The Sun's shining above and really hot! I stopped them first.

"Just continue with it this afternoon!"

They bowed and went away.

I blew violently and ate the cupcakes.

When I was leaving I went to the Knights Quarter. I have nothing to do, so I will challenge them into a race!

I smirked.

"Duchess!" Surprised one shouted.

The noise of the spads stopped and they shouted.

I just walked around and made sure I was here.

"I am general mack, what can we do for you, my lady?" asked it.

"Who's the best rider of your squad, general?"

He was surprised to see me but immediately called a man.

"Benim, our best rider," he introduced.

"Good afternoon!" Its greeted.

I smiled and held out my hand. We shaked hands.

"Nice to meet you Benim! Now, I want to challenge you into a race!"

I immediately heard their whispers.

"I beg your pardon, my lady" she said confused.

I didn't answer her anymore, but she was sure she heard it.

"Where are the horses?" I asked as I tied my hair into a ponytail.

Good thing I wore some jeans and a boots! My top's a white long sleeves!

This'll be fun.

Eventually I let them go. As I was riding the horse, I heard Manang's cry.

"Duchess! What are you doing!" I saw her running to me.

"Don't worry Manang, I'll be fine,"

I arranged myself to the height of the horse.

"Oh my! If something goes wrong we can kill the duke!" worried it says.

I just laughed.

"I'm not going to do anything that will kill you!" I regret it.

I saw Manang hit the general and scolded it.

"Don't be easy on me, Benim" I warned him.

"Yes, my lady," he said then smiled.

We positioned ourselves and when the general blew his whistle, I quickly ran my horse.

I've been into races since I was a child. But now I just got back!

It feels so nostalgic. Riding a horse, feeling the harsh wind slaps my face as my horse run fast.

Benim's a great rider. But no one has ever defeated me.

I smirked as I am nearing the finish line.

I am only inches ahead from him. But still, I won.

"You're awesome!" He praised.

I just laughed. Every time I would hear compliments I would just laugh it out.

We both returned to the Knights Quarter.

As I got off the horse, Manang immediately wiped my face.

Seriously! I'm not a child anymore!
