Love me, Mr. Duke

Chapter 4.Reasons to Get Married

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

...~oOo0oOo~...

When I opened my eyes, I was already at Reynch's residence, lying on the bed. I don't really remember what happened. My last memory was when I was drowning in a dark and cold ocean.

Count and Countess Reynch looked at me like their own biological daughter. They never asked me about my origins, so I acted like I had lost my memory.

One day they set me up with Carxen. I was forced to accept the match for their sake, I just wanted to return the favor for all their kindness. The betrothed should be Martha, but Martha already has a lover. The arranged marriage agreement had been arranged long ago when the Duke and Duchess Callisto was previously still alive, Claude Von De Callisto and Samantha Louise Callisto, namely Father and Mother Carxen.

Carxen's father was on good terms with Count Reynch. That's why Carxen insisted on marrying Reynch's daughter according to his father's will.

I dropped myself on the bed, then raised my left hand to cover the lights, "Carxen Von De Callisto.." I murmured softly.

'Can I make you fall in love with me? Humans like you... Can you possibly love someone else? If only you could not love me... Then I...'

"I will die." I muttered, as I continued to stare at the number on my wrist.

Two months ago, in a dream I heard a magical sound that continued to reverberate. The voice said that I had committed an offense for having crossed dimensions. Not only that he also said that I would soon get the curse of time. The curse is, I must find a partner who can love me sincerely, before the time limit runs out.

"I hope tomorrow the sun will shine brightly" I said, closing my eyes slowly.

'I'm tired, my soul and body are tired. Why is my destiny always crueler than anyone else? How much more pain do I have to go through? When I thought it was all over, fate took me to another place on the other side of the world, which was more exhausting.'

I don't want to answer Martha, right now I'm too lazy to make a sound let alone open my eyes. I hope Martha gets out of there soon.

"Viellen...?" call Martha quietly, along with the sound of the creaking of my bedroom wooden door.

'I forgot to lock the door and turn off the lights.'

"You're asleep already..." Martha sat on the side of the bed, not sure what she was going to do.

"I'm sorry Viellen... Ii'm sorry... L'm... I've put you in a dangerous position" Martha's voice rang out, as if she was trying to hold back her cries.

It felt like I wanted to hold Martha's hand, I wanted to hug her and say that this was not her fault.

Martha's voice was no longer heard, she enveloped me, and turned off the lights, then immediately came out of my room.

I opened my eyes just after Martha came out and looked towards the door that had just closed.

"It wasn't your fault, Martha. I never blamed you. My destiny is not your fault."

Martha's lover was a famous artist in the capital. Baron Barrlet von Cristopher's. The man is charming and warm, like a sunflower in spring. Martha's first love was her childhood friend.

When I saw the two of them in the park yesterday afternoon, they looked harmonious and harmonious. To be honest deep down, I felt jealous seeing their relationship. They both deserve to be happy, though.
