DUKE'S CONTRACT WIFE
Duke's contract wife [07]
1 Week has passed since Arabella found Glen and Aira making out in her father's room. And now the Marquess has been in a house that has been prepared by Duke Tryon, besides that the Marquess also get treatment periodically and now the poison in his body has been thinned. Arabella was also examined for fear that Arabella was also exposed to poison and sure enough! Inside the body Arabella found traces of poison and directly treated.
"So... You'll file our contract marriage to the Emperor tomorrow?" Currently Arabella and Duke are spending their time together by drinking tea together in the greenhouse. Duke nodded his head, he had planned to propose the marriage 2 days ago but it always failed because there was something more urgent!
"Yes, tomorrow I will go there Lady. And also I hope tomorrow you can come with me, we have to make the Emperor believe in both of us" the Duke put his teacup down and stared at Arabella, pensively pensive Arabella. He actually did not want to come because he was lazy to meet the 2nd Prince because somehow also the 2nd prince had intended to make Arabella as his concubine but Arabella refused.
"Well... All right, I'll go with you. Honestly speaking, I was actually very lazy to come to the palace" Arabella shrugged her shoulders, then looked towards the Duke. The Duke thought a little and finally he knew what the reason Arabella said 'Lazy'.
"Ah.. That's how it turns out, if I can be honest lady. I was also very lazy to come to the palace, but... Yeah, how else?" Duke smiled then sipped the tea in front of him, Arabella pensive for a while.
"Wait first! But.. What about my engagement contract with Young Master Glen?" Arabella just remembered that she is still tied to 'Fiancee' with Glen.
"You take it easy, once we get married everything will be resolved!" The Duke casually said that and then invited Arabella to take a short walk around Duchy Tryon. Either way Arabella will live there, so... He also had to know the circumstances surrounding the Duchy Tryon region. Arabella and the Duke go together.
"Hm.. If you want to visit all areas of Tryon power may take 1 week? You don't need to visit Kish because the area is really remote and the travel time is very long." Arabella nodded her head, after all who would want to come to the region? There is a tribe of cannibals hiding there! It would be very dangerous to go there without careful preparation.
It did not feel like they had been around for 6 hours now they were resting in one of the restaurants. Arabella looked around, she was unceasingly amazed and amazed by the architecture in the restaurant.
"Do you like the architecture here?" The Duke asked suddenly, Arabella nodded her head. And not for long a wry smile was engraved on the Duke's handsome face.
"Actually my mother also loved the architecture in this restaurant" Duke sighed and looked at the ceiling of the restaurant. Seeing this, Arabella could only be silent. He knew very well what the situation of the Tryon family was like, All the members of the Tryon nuclear family in the all-out slaughter by the part family. And the only survivors from the nuclear family are Theo and his older sister. And darling.... His sister had to die because her head was cut off when she was going to settle the Barbarian tribe in the northern border region. And this really took Duke a hit.
"You've gone through everything Duke, now you just have to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Your family who are there also certainly do not want to see you sad like this, smile! That way your heart will also be calmer." Hearing the words Arabella really made the Duke feel calm and it felt like he wanted to cry however... If he cries it will show his weak side to others. When Arabella was about to take off her embrace the Duke swiftly hugged Arabella tighter.
"Just in a minute, please.... " The Duke drowned his face, he really did not want that warm embrace to come off! Arabella, who was unable to do anything, finally let Duke hold her for longer. After calm Duke took off the hug and saw his eyes moist due to crying.
"Ah... So this is why he drowned his face? My clothes feel wet! Apparently she was crying"Arabella sighed then she touched and stroked Duke's cheek. The Duke was surprised, suddenly Arabella touched his face, Arabella smiled and held the Duke's hand.
" If you have a hard time or whatever it is, you can tell me. I'll be a good listener and entertainer for you" Seeing Arabella who was smiling sincerely Duke involuntarily nodded his head, he really didn't care anymore! He just wants someone to understand his situation and eventually find him.
"Arabella, please don't blame me if I won't let you go even if the contract is over! If you don't want to stay with me I'll force you!" The duke looked at Arabella's face with a hard-to-art look!
"Ah.. Look clock! Now it's time for me to be treated regularly!" Arabella hurriedly walked outside the restaurant, the Duke following Arabella at a rapid pace. Actually, the Duke was very regretful about this, even though he still wanted to be with Arabella longer but could-be their time alone ended quickly!
• the next day 'About 'Top •
After breakfast the Duke and Arabella went to the palace to propose their marriage, this was certainly welcomed with various dramas from the Emperor. Even the 2nd prince strongly opposed the emperor to approve the Duke and Arabella's marriage.
"Dad! You can't give them permission to get married! I don't want to fail 2 times in marrying Lady Arabella!" The emperor nodded his head, and did not want to lose a dependable son-in-law like Arabella.
"Damn it! Look at their thick faces, who are they to the point that they arranged my marriage? This is totally insane!" Arabella is so hostile to the father and son. 'How can an Emperor and a prince not treasure his Dignity like this?!' That's what Arabella always thinks of every look at the Emperor and the 2nd Prince
