Summer was sitting there pensively until her servant came to her and told her that Winter was visiting her, the woman was in a hurry to get ready and change clothes.
"Do you feel well??" Winter sat in front of Summer.
"I. Yes I just had a little fever, Mr. Winter, I've had enough rest. I'm fine now." The woman smiled at Winter.
"alright. The day you had a fever yesterday I had an urgent business outside the palace so I couldn't get to you right away." Winter paused. "I've also heard what happened at Leana's aunt's residence. Sumner.." The man held Summer's hand gently yet firmly. "One promise, I'll love you as a woman."
Summer gasped at Winter's words, though,
If I don't misinterpret, this means the last chance Mr Winter gave me, right?? Between wanting me to take office and assume all the duchess's duties or me to leave here.
The woman stood up and gave a formal salute to Winter. "I'm sorry for making Mr. Winter worry about my situation. I'm the young marchioness of the Grace family, will willingly accept and follow the will of the grand duke master of Winter Leonhard Ferkalon."
Winter is filled to see Summer taking the oath of coronation informally and immediately rises to his feet to welcome Summer's hand. "I am grateful, really Summer. Thanks." Winter is really.
After Summer's residence, Winter walked towards her residence. He had already ordered Dylan to gather his allies to hold an important meeting.
The man was silent as long as he walked, his mind drifting considering Flo. Being a duchess is not easy than being a concubine, the job of a concubine is just to accompany her master every night and it may not be mandatory. The concubine is just a symbol for the informal marriage relationship that is established due to cooperation between countries or also debt of return.
However different for the duchess, the duchess is officially the legal wife and is the hostess. The responsibilities and duties of a duchess are heavy. There will be many enemies, non-aligned parties, political disputes and also state affairs related to the kingdom. If a duchess does not have a strong support party or is not considered competent then it is easy for some parties to crush and bulldoze that status.
Obviously Winter didn't want to sacrifice Flo to get into the inferno pool, but the man's sign realized it might not be the right decision.
After gathering all his allies Winter immediately began the meeting. "I will appoint the young marchiones of the Grace family as duchess Ferkalon." Firm Winter.
The statement suddenly made a boisterous atmosphere, Agustin who stood there just silent because that was the goal.
"Master Winter, how can this be?? Of course young lady Grace can't be the duchess." Said one of the bigwigs there.
"Can't you??" Ask Winter.
"Of course it can't, despite his title of a marquis noble family yet he comes from an area far from prosperous. The community there is still a lot of colonized and the area is really not advanced. After all she was incompetent as a duchess!" Hanpir some parties agreed to the official's words.
"We can't be too rash to decide this, we better trace the area's community first." Say the other.
"Traced??" Winter throws some daocumen into the middle of the long table where the meeting is held. "From the search results that you reported a month ago it is clearly written that the area is an area of our country and the strata of society there are equivalent to the people of our country."
The big brother scrunched his face in annoyance.
It turns out that yesterday's report was requested just to smooth the path of Summer Grace becoming duchess here.
"Mr Winter." Say importantgis. "It's best that Mr. Winter thinks about it once more, we all certainly don't want to repeat the same incident with the previous duke Mr. Michael." Said the high ranking man with a heart. "Love women to the point of making a loss to the whole Ferkalon family."
Winter gasped at the remark, as if it was a public secret that Michael brought Flo who was the son of the woman he loved when he entered Luckingham and took a role in the political order. The man let out a rude sigh, "Listen to my promise, Summer will only be a duchess. He won't get involved in politics and I won't have any children with Summer. And if that happens then even until his descendants will never be part of Ferkalon politics let alone become the successor to the duke. This is my promise as a grand duke to you!"
After the end of the meeting Winter called Agustin and spoke four eyes. "I made this decision, isn't everything exactly what you wanted??"
Winter glanced at Agustin who was just silent. "Be quiet I think that's right." The man paused. "I'm calling you to tell me something else, I'm taking Flo back inside Luckingham after Summer's coronation is over."
Agustin stared at Winter. "Two..."
"Flower Amber Ferkalon, it will always be. That woman was mine from the beginning until the next." Decisive Winter without wanting to be denied. "Tell it to Flo." Then Winter left.
****
Today Flo hastily come to Ethan's silence, but he is surprised that the residence is empty. And there was only a middle-aged woman there. "Are you going to buy this house??" Ask the woman.
"Where is everyone??" Flo checked every room in the house out of disbelief.
"So you're not a buyer?? Don't make a row here, this house is for sale. Everything has moved since yesterday." The woman followed Flo's footsteps.
"Where is the young man who lives here?!" Tanya Flo could not believe it.
Where exactly are you going, Ethan?? I've used my last card like you said but I didn't make it. I don't have half of his heart anymore...
"Whose young man?? Did he promise to marry you and run away??" Asked the middle-aged woman curiously.
"Tsk!" Flo clucked in annoyance. "Didn't anyone here order anything before they left??"
"No way.." The old woman seemed to be thinking and remembering something. "Ah yes, yesterday before the move it seemed like they had received a guest from someone far away."
Flo clenched his hand. Ethan must have gone to see Uncle Michael!!! Did something happen until he left so soon?!
Flo walked home disappointedly until in the middle of the road she was surprised to see Agustin standing a few steps away from her. "How's Miss Flo doing?" Agustin bowed in respect.
"What's wrong??" Tanya Flo flat.
"I'm just here to relay Mr. Winter's orders. She has announced that she will officially appoint young Miss Grace as duchess. And in two days the news will be in all the newspapers and the announcement of the duke's marriage."
Flo staggered at hearing that. "That's impossible.." The woman's breath became breathless and claustrophobic. "That's impossible... Winter wouldn't do that to me. You lied to me..."
Agustin just silently looked at Flo pity. "That's the truth, Miss Flo. And Mr. Winter asks that you wait a little while after the coronation process is complete and you will be taken back to Luckingham."
"Winter wouldn't do that!!!" Flo's screams sounded bitter. "You see this?!" He raised the bracelet he was wearing. "This is Winter's bracelet, her late mother's bracelet! He has given his heart to me!! Winter wouldn't do that!!!"
Agustin was silent for a moment. "Mrs.. did the madam not see where Mr. Winter's heart really was? She'll make Miss Summer a duchess."
Flo pushed Agustin hard. "Go!!! I don't want to hear!!" Flo ran away leaving Agustin staring at Flo sadly.
