Duke's life proposition

19

In the end, Matteo and Graziano decided to leave by sneaking, and brought one medic, the physician Loi.

The three of them left by sneaking around, as many of the Emperor's bodyguards were guarding the border. For God's sake, Graziano's proposal was dangerous but he somehow agreed.

They wear face coverings, Matteo carries drugs given by healer Loi, he with his expertise, drugging one by one guard carefully, trying not to arouse suspicion.

In the midst of Matteo's action, Graziano and the physician Loi entered the eastern Gardenia region. The two half ran, letting Matteo clear the guards.

"From here to my house it's a long way away, we have to walk a long way" Graziano told the healer.

"Not what is noble, after all we can not bring a horse," said physician Loi.

The two waited near the bushes, fearing that there were guards left, although it was unlikely that they would dare to enter.

Long wait, appeared Matteo, who approached the two.

"Once, it's all done. There won't be any bodyguards coming in, 'cause they're just outside, come on." Matteo spoke with conviction.

They began to walk to go to Graziano's house, during a very quiet journey no one passed by, even when passing through the market there were no humans, there were only a few abandoned merchandise, eaten by stray dogs.

Matteo pulled Graziano, clasping the omega's hand. He was afraid that Graziano would be infected with the plague, especially when he saw the drool of dogs dripping while staring at them.

"For God's sake, I was more horrified to see the dog than the border guards" Matteo said.

"Is there no other shortcut, I mean do we have to pass the dog?" Physician Loi stared in horror at the black dog.

Not only did Graziano deny Matteo had thrown his dagger, right on the dog's stomach, making the dog squeal, whimpering in pain.

"Why did you kill him?!" Graziano stared pityfully at the dog who was groaning to endure the pain.

"If we don't attack him, then the dog will attack us, plus see the strange behavior of the dog, what if he has a virus and spreads it to us, not only will the residents of the eastern Gardenia be isolated, but the western part will participate" Matteo said.

Basically a normal dog will not act aggressively like that, not unthinking but Matteo does not want to happen the desired thing.

Graziano thinks what Matteo is right, better prevent. Without any more conversation, they walked back on long lonely roads.

From the beginning of the hot sun, until it almost sank, then they reached the gate of the house of Graziano, which is the same sepinya.

The gate was not locked or guarded at all, and Graziano began to fidget, where the servants and guards of the house. Even here it was completely deserted, already like an uninhabited house.

"Dad." Graziano walked in with wide strides, he called out to his father.

His father's residence and Matteo's residence are different, the main house is not too big compared to the western Gardenia.

Matteo and healer Loi circulated her gaze warily, afraid that something was unexpected.

They went inside, which was only greeted with loneliness. Where exactly are people?

"Duchess, does the plague really spread through the air until no one dares to come out, even I think it's the living room, does duke Antonio stay in the room?" Matteo.

"Come on, I'll go check out my dad's room" Graziano said.

He went to his father's room, which was locked. Graziano knocked on it, hoping his bad thoughts ran out.

"Dad." Graziano calls like the wind, nothing

which ignores from within.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

"Dad it's me, is dad inside?" graziano.

Matteo approached himself, his alpha telling him to back off. Matteo kicked the door until it broke.

Graziao ran in, when he saw his father lying weak.

"Dad!" Graziano covered his mouth, as nausea assaulted him. His father's white skin, damaged and pus out, like blisters due to exposure to hot water, plus a foul odor makes Graziano resist the nausea that attacks him.

"Dad, what's going on? What's with your skin, dad..." Graziano felt like crying, when Antonio just moved his lips without a sound.

"Stay away Duchess, so that physician Loi checks" Matteo said.

As Graziano moved, he stood beside Matteo, letting his father be examined by the physician.

It's too horrible, what if he doesn't come. Perhaps the entire eastern Gardenia people died of illness.

Physician Loi begins to treat Antonio with the drugs he is carrying.

"I have to find my mom, maybe she's in the pavilion" Graziano said.

But he undoes his intention, when the woman who gave birth to him enters with a surprised face.

"My son, Ano." Duchess Ciana immediately hugged Graziano, "this is you, I didn't expect you to come my son." Ciana hugged her son.

"Mother, it's Ano. Ano came," said Graziano, he took off Ciana's embrace to wipe away his mother's tears.

"Mommy's okay? Did you catch this plague?" ask Graziano.

Ciana shook her head, "i'm fine, it's just her," Ciana looked at her husband,

"your father has been sick for a long time" he continued.

Graziano stared at his father, who was being treated.

"Thank God that you're not affected, please keep looking after yourself for Ano" Graziano said.

Ciana smiled faintly, the gaze turning on

Matteo, he forgot his son-in-law.

"Greetings Duke, sorry for my disrespect and can't welcome you to hear me." Ciana gave a warm greeting to the son-in-law, despite their relationship in-laws and daughter-in-law, but Ciana respected Matteo's position as Duke.

"Greetings to the Duchess, I understand. We didn't visit to be welcomed, we were just worried about the people in the east" Matteo smiled faintly.

Ciana is grateful to have a great and good daughter-in-law like Matteo, she does not regret the marriage that her favorite son did with this western Duke.

"I came with the duke secretly because the Emperor was guarding the eastern border, he forbade any people to enter, arguing that the plague would not spread. We completely refute the Emperor's rule" Graziano said, drawing a hint of concern on Ciana's face.

"Is this the rebellion of this western duke?" Ciana asked the daughter-in-law.

"Yes, call it a rebellion. It's just in a subtle way" said Matteo, as if his speech was common.

Ciana was completely inexhaustible, her son and daughter-in-law were demanding everything just to help the people of the east.

"May God bless, thank God I have a good relationship with this western duke, we owe you a lot" said Ciana Haru.

"It's my duty to help my omegaku family, my people may soon catch up with some healers, to help others" Matteo said.

The impression of Matteo in the eyes of the in-laws is very good, his good image he managed to take the heart of the in-laws so easily. Without the Duke and Duchess of East Gardenia realizing, if Ano their beloved son is pressed all-out at his daughter-in-law's house.
