Chapter 12: Chapter twelve: Year end celebration (3)
Inside the spacious luxurious room, A wide bed placed in the middle of the room, windows draped in thick black curtains, only a small lamp could be seen as a light, in the sofa not far from the bed, sitting a man holding a glass of rum, he twirl it slowly before placing the glass to his mouth and drink it, the man closed his eyes like savoring every drop of it,
A while later his eyes snapped open, he glanced at the door like a beast waiting for his prey, his intense blue eyes are gleaming like a flame.
Menwhile outside the room a slender woman dress in light pink gown, walk towards the door, the woman reach the doornob to open the door, but before she can do it, a tall man beat her,
"Lady becker, apologies, but the duke instruct us, that no one will be allowed to enter,"
Veronica heard him call her name, she think that the duke relay a message about her, so veronica smugly ordered the tall man,
"That's alright, you tell him, im here outside" Veronica tilt her chin to the door, signaling the tall man to do what she asked him to do, when she saw the man not moving an inch and only stand in front of her, she say in firm voice.
"I am a duke's woman, i think you are aware of that! so you better follow my order now!"
The tall man not only did not move a muscle but he just look at veronica, he also replied in a determined voice
"We only follow the duke,….. and no one else"
The tall man friendly voice before was suddenly changed,
"How dare you!" Veronica gritted her teeth in anger and continue saying "you better remember this!"
She stamped her feet at glared at the tall man who is standing still.
Veronica turned around and walk to the same direction she came from.
The tall man watch the lady walking while stamping her feet in anger, he smirked and muttered
"My master, he did not even remember who you are"
tsk.. the Duke of Lawrence, he usually sleep with woman but he will not ask or cared about their names, and when the duke walked out from the room, all the things happened inside remained inside, nothing to follow .
While the tall man is making fun about the lady's soon misfortune, he felt the door behind him open,
"Your grace" he call the man, and bow his head respectfully.
"Caldin?, I heard some rat outside, thats why i check"
The duke intense blue eyes stared at caldin,
"No, your grace, we shoo the rat, so no more rat will be rounding here"
The duke stare fiercely at caldin, and without saying anything he closed the door.
Caldin, pat and rub his chest as if placating his scared heart,
'Oh my god! I thought I'm going to die just now!'
You can't blame the poor man, this day in every year, the duke's mood and personality will change to worse, and this exact day in each year he will stay in this room for around five to six hours,
no one know what he is doing inside, and no one is interested to know, everyone was scared that if they put their head in the duke's business their pitiful heads will roll out of their neck the very next day.
But some people who is close to the duke know some small details about this room, they say that this is the previous Duchess's room here in the capital and it's the exact same room the when the duchess killed herself.
That time the whole kingdom was mess,
Duchess Cassandra booton-Lawrence, younger sister of Emperor booton died unexpectedly,
After almost two hours, the white door open again, the man who's before has disheveled hair, are now dressed in expensive tailed coats, his face are now look calmer than before.
"Your grace"
"Prepare the carriage" the man say without a trace of emotion.
"Yes your grace" caldin walk in normal pace first, but after he turned to the left corridor the poor man run fast as he could towards the main door.
One man waiting outside the door, he glance at caldin and Nod, he bring his small wistle to his mouth and blow it, after a few seconds the carriage arrived at the door, this very exact moment the duke also step outside the mansion.
Caldin who just calmed himself, are now feeling scared again, 'god, i really hate this year end' only this day is the problem, but the rest of the year is okay,
The duke entire body is oozing of killing aura, everyone is tip toeing for their next move, they are scared of making mishap,
all the staff are keeping silent, and pray the day to pass quickly,
"Your grace, please"
The coachman who is standing infront of the carriage open the carriage door and he motioned his hand for the duke to enter.
Willbert step inside the carriage, with out saying and caring anything around him, his mood was down, at the same time willbert felt irritated knowing he will step inside the palace again, he really hated that place! Willbert does not have choice but attend the disgusting ball, after sitting comfortably inside the carriage, he tapped the door, signaling the coach man to start moving.
The carriage with an emblem of black dragon are now heading to the palace.
