Chapters 12.Who is Buried?

...~Love Me My Lord Duke~...

...~oOo0oOo~...

I went into a tavern selling all sorts of yarn and cloth. There are many kinds of threads sold, I took the gold and red thread and approached the shopkeeper girl.

"Can Miss make a pattern using this thread, and sew it on my cane to decorate her surroundings?" I said as I handed over the thread I picked up just now.

The yellow haired girl to the shoulder smiled gently at me. "It's no problem, miss. What kind of pattern does Miss want?"

I thought for a moment imagining the baton decoration I had before, "Like a dragon indentation. Make it around the cane from bottom to top."

"Good, Miss. But it'll take until tomorrow. Will you come back here tomorrow?"

I paused for a moment, thinking about the question of the ash-eyed girl before me.

'Will I still be able to trick Carxen like tonight? What if I can't get out tomorrow?'

"...hmm?"

"Miss!"

The girl's voice resuscitated me, "Ah! Da... Tomorrow yeah... Tomorrow I'll be back here again, so don't worry."

"Thank God.." he said, relieved.

'What time is it now? Is it late at night. But seeing the situation here that is getting crowded, it seems not too late at night. Even so I have to go home soon. Who knows Carxen suddenly came into my room like last night. Ivone could end up with a sentence.'

"Who's Miss' name by the way?" ask the girl, then smile at me.

There's no way I'm telling you my real name. However, my name is already famous as the wife of the cold-blooded Duke.

"My name is Viola. What's Miss' name?" I asked as I extended my hand before him.

"Viola, what a lovely name. My name is Shanon" he said, holding my hand to shake his hand.

'Shanon? Quite a strange name.'

Before I came home I watched a theater show for a while, not so many people were interested in the theater so I enjoyed my time during the viewing.

"Is Carxen back or not?" I muttered, looking down at the leather shoes I was wearing.

For some reason after coming out for a little breath of fresh air, I missed Carxen a little. Even though he was sarcastic and careless, he was still my husband.

As soon as I arrived at the Callisto residence, I got off the train immediately. I opened the garden fence that was in the easternmost part. The fence is small in size covered by vines, if people do not examine it carefully they may not realize that there is a fence there.

The atmosphere inside the Callisto residence at night was so quiet. I walked in the hallway carefully while watching the surroundings.

From a distance I saw Carxen coming out of my room, I immediately opened the door of the room behind me, and went inside. From behind the door, I heard the sound of Carxen's footsteps passing through the room where I was hiding. My heart was beating fast, my hands were trembling while holding the doorknob. Sweat runs through my eyes.

'What did he just do in my room, at this hour? Is Ivone okay? What if something happens to Ivone. I need to get out of here.'

"Mr Duke.." Alfonso's voice was clearly heard in the hallway that had been quiet.

"You've already cleaned it up?" carxen asked, his tone sounded so serious.

'Urged him? Whatdoes thatmean? What are they talking about?'

"It's been buried in the garden, Mr. Duke."

Alfonso's reply left me sitting drowning on the floor, "Di-Dikub-hmp-"

I immediately closed my mouth, and held my breath, remembering that Carxen and Alfonso were still not far from the room.

'Wh-Who is buried? Iv-Ivone!!... It's impossible, right? I must check Ivone immediately!!'

After a long while I sat down while calming down at the door, I immediately went out and walked slowly towards my room.

"Ivone.." call me slowly as soon as I enter my room, and immediately press the room light on the wall.

Ivone did not reply, the little girl was seen covering her entire body with a thick blanket while facing the wall. I walked cautiously close to the bed, "Ivone...?"

I pulled a little blanket over Ivone to see his face.

Turns out he's fast asleep. My reflexes let out a sigh of relief at Ivone falling asleep, "Thank God..."

"Thank you for being okay" I said softly as I touched Ivone's bangs with my finger.
