Duke's life proposition

8

Four days after that day, Graziano was completely cold to Matteo. He didn't even care about Matteo's apology, which was sickening in his ears.

Yian is becoming more and more so, even he reasoned not to want to be abandoned by Matteo because of the desire of the baby.

Graziano's hatred for Consort Yian grew even greater, as the sea was ready at any time to sweep the ilichi pavilion.

The pen he was holding had made some of the paper on the table blackened because of the ink.

"Your Majesty, do you need anything?" Elena asked, she was worried about Graziano who had been quiet lately.

Graziano realized he kept the pen, then threw away the inked paper.

"Elena, do you think the price of food in the west is so great?" graziano asked, because he found it awkward when receiving financial statements from the kitchen.

"All I know is the price of food and other necessities, not much different from the eastern Gardenia" said Elena.

Graziano nodded, he's going to go through this. How can the expenditure in each month is so large, each month increases. Last night even he had to check all the financial statements from last year, and that was a lot of awkwardness.

"Expenditure is very wasteful, I will discuss this with the duke" Graziano said.

"In my opinion, the expenditure is a lot because lately the noble duke is holding a massive party constantly," said Elena, who managed to make Graziano silent for a while.

What Elena said was true, it was only fitting that the current month's expenditure was so much, it was because Matteo had already held a party many times. But a matter of a few months back, he must still talk about it with Matteo, because anyway now the financial matters he set after Matteo gave him confidence in it.

"Does Consort Yian still keep coming to the daisy pavilion?" Graziano's eyes stared at the open window of the room.

"What I heard, Consort Yian continued to follow wherever the duke went. Even Consort Yian repeatedly blocked the duke from going to the capital to meet the emperor, that's all I know from some of the servants there," Elena explained.

Graziano got up from his seat, he put on his coat.

"Let's accompany me to the ilichi pavilion." Graziano stepped out the one Elena was following.

As always, anyone who sees Graziano will be amazed plus the pheromones vinus that feels refreshing, no doubt many people's homes and pavilions are always amazed at him. He walked past the guards and servants, all bowing respectfully.

Graziano never looked down when walking, especially if he had the high self-esteem, and the authority that does not fade from a duchess Gardenia in the west.

"Your noble duchess will come in, open the door," Elena said to the guard.

A duchess's word was the same as the duke's, they immediately opened the door.

"Tell Consort Yian, my lord the duchess would like to see her." Elena said to Krisya whom she met when the door opened.

The arrival of Graziano to the ilichi pavilion, became so electrifying for the residents there, because this was the first time the duchess set foot in the ilichi pavillun.

"Your Majesty the Duchess, you're here. What the hell are you here for?"

Graziano remained with his usual expression, as a question so impolite was thrown from the small mouth of Yian that came to him.

"Just want to see my husband's concubine, people say Consort Yian has contractions" Graziano said softly.

Yian smiled, "yes duchess, at that time my stomach hurt. Until my servant has to call Mat-I mean the noble duke, sorry to interrupt your time back then," he explained.

The matteo? My God, the lowly man before him is really a real definition of lowliness, lower caste and lower mindset, two words that Graziano concluded about Consort Yian, uneducated.

"You don't want to name me, Consort Yian. I heard you used to take the duke out to cook," said Graziano, saying he never failed to offend Yian.

"Sure, sit comfortably. I have food that you have to taste, it's made of strawberries, don't you like it so much?" Yian gave off his sweet smile, to be honest it made Graziano even more fed up. The goal here is just to gently commemorate Yian, so that he knows his limits.

"No, I'm just joking" Graziano chuckled, "I just want to see you, I'm afraid you're in a bad state" he continued.

"Can you leave us both?" Graziano looked at the servants of the ilichi pavilion, they all nodded, immediately came out as well as Elena, now only he and Yian were left.

"Let's finish this talk, Consort Yian, my arrival here just wants to wake you up, not because of anything just that I'm afraid that no one will wake you up, for your recent behavior is very excessive," said Graziano, take everything out no matter what I red Yian's face is.

"Let me short, you're just a concubine

so I hope you know what boundaries are" he said

Graziano's full of emphasis.

Yian was distressed by Graziano's words, his lips curled and tears rolled down his cheeks. She sobbed, with her hands squeezing her dress.

"What do you mean Duchess? I realize I'm a lowly person, but you need to know that I'm pregnant with a noble child right now," Yian said on a sobbing spree, as if Graziano was threatening.

"My God, how do you understand if I'm the duchess here, I'm the duke's partner. You should have understood Consort Yian." Graziano squeezed the end of the table, he couldn't control himself even the polite word vanished.

"But his majesty says he loves me, I love his world, and I love him too. Why doesn't the Duchess understand, we have love in this relationship" Yian said with her red eyes.

"I admit I lost it, but I dare to guarantee that you don't exist that maybe me and the duke could have started over, and fought together to love each other,"

"So you told me to go?" Yian cried so hard, that the guards and servants outside heard his cries.

Graziano clenched his hands, he looked at Yian nyalang. He wanted to pull the long hair, slash it into the lake and drown it.

"Don't upset me, Consort Yian," pressed Graziano.

"I'm sorry, Duchess, but I won't drop my baby, and leave your honor!"

Graziano stood up from his seat, why the woman in front of him was acting silly, he just said the restrictions were open to expel him.

Concubine Yian was rested upon by Graziano, and she roared as if her heart was in pain.

"Though I am noble, but please don't tell me to leave the noble duke, I love him very much and we are waiting for the birth of our son, who is noble..."

Brakes

The door was opened very loudly making Graziano flinch and Yian's words were hanging.

"What are you doing, Consort Yian, why are you standing in front of her?" Matteo, yes the one who opened the door so hard was Matteo, he looked at the two omegas in turn.

As Matteo approached the two, he helped Yian stand up and stared coldly at Graziano.

"I didn't do anything" defended Graziano, defending himself from the piercing gaze.

"Did you ditch a lot at Duchess's noble school? How can you make an omega that contains rest" said Matteo.

"Please listen to my noble explanation, I did not ask him to rest, he did it himself" said Graziano, his emotions ignited with the scathing words of Matteo.

"Yes, but you let it. Don't keep dodging the Duchess, I heard with my own ears, how Consort Yian pleaded with you, you told her to go and abort our baby. What exactly are you thinking?" Matteo moved closer to Graziano.

"I'm just explaining her bath as a concubine, I'm just asserting my rights.shh.." Graziano grimaced, as his hand was gripped strongly by Matteo.

"You should know your limits, I married you because of the prophecy the emperor had believed in, while Consort Yian, she was my lover, and she was the future mother of my son," Matteo looked into Graziano's teary eyes, there was no beautiful sparkle there, "do you now understand the venerable Duchess?" said it.

"Yes, I understand, my majesty, I'm sorry I hurt your concubine, but please let go of my hand, it hurts," said Graziano at the end, his heart aches but his hands hurt too.

"Consort Yian, I'm sorry. If one day I do, just whip it at the duke I'll take the punishment from him, I go sorry to interrupt." Graziano left unsettled leaving the source of his wheeze.

He walked with tears that he desperately wept, his chest hurt. Why couldn't Matteo hear her explanation, was that so much butthat her husband was because of his love for concubines?

Graziano did not return to the main house, but instead he went to the strawberry garden.

He sits in the usual shelter of the garden manager.
