My Annoying Duke's

Hate me, my lord

Nicole walked out of the palace. In times of loneliness like this, he misses his cousin. Lisa never left him alone. He always accompanied her besides the servants. He went around the palace to see what was around the palace.

The palace was quite spacious, it was just that the palace was surrounded by towering pine trees. There are no passersby, no life as seen in the palace of Artaleta. Not far from the palace, he saw there is a field that is not so wide, at the end of the field there is a target face where the arrow is still stuck there. There are also scarecrows made of straw that are commonly used as archery targets.

After the archery field, Nicole saw a stables and she could hear some horses whimpering. Nicolepun went inside. He was surprised to find his favorite horse there. Vale had taken her and she thought the man who had just become her husband still had a heart. She smiled happily. Nicole stroked the horse's head until it stopped whimpering. "Helena, I thought I'd be lonely." He hugged the brown horse.

"I'm lonely, helena. I miss Lisa. I miss the house. Vale hates me so much here. What am I supposed to do to keep Vale from hating me?" said slowly.

Vale came out of his study and found Elissa in the kitchen. He didn't see Nicole.

"You looking for a mistress, sir?" ask Elissa

Vale shut up and walked back to his study.

" He was going around. I saw him in the stables."

"I didn't ask." replied Vale Ketus.

Elissa shook her head.

After a few hours in the stables, he stepped out again to look around. He heard water splashing behind the stables. He believes there is a river there. He walked along a path that connected him to the sound of running water. It turned out to be true, the river was in a magnificent area of pine forest. The water is so clear. Lots of small rocks in it. Because I can't stand it, though,

He sat beside the river. Both of his legs were put in the water. The water was cold but Nicole liked it. He sat there and played his feet in the water.

"Mrs, Miss Nicole!" call waiter.

Nicole stood up and swept. "Yes, I'm here. Wait there, I'll see you."

Nicole half ran over to the voice of the waiter.

"What's wrong?" ask Nicole

"All right."

"Has my husband eaten, Elissa?" nicole asked while sitting at the table.

"Not yet madam, will I deliver her now in her study room." replied Elissa while carrying a tray.

"Let me just." Nicole stood up and walked towards the Vale workspace.

"But madam." cut Elissa. He feels worried. "Let Vale turn me down, Elissa, but I must continue to serve her as a wife."

Elissa retreated while looking down. Sir, you're wrong to think Mylady's a bad person. May God open your heart.

Nicole knocked on the door slowly..

"Lake in."

Vale was looking out the window. He didn't see who was coming. It's like he's thinking. "Elissa, I didn't tell you to bring me lunch."

"I took him, Mylord" replied Nicole softly.

Vale was shocked and turned his body around.

"I don't want to eat, just take the food out." exclaimed Vale annoyed.

"You can hate me all you want, Mylord. But you have to eat. Excuse me for coming out. I'm sorry if it bothers you." Nicole replied, looking down. He stepped out of the room.

Vale fell silent. He stared at the food in front of him that looked tempting. Elissa had cooked her favorite meal. He slowly scoops the food in front of him and starts eating.

Looking at Nicole's face like that, he felt his heart start to doubt. If he continues to be at Arsy, he will continue to hurt Nicole. He should leave immediately. He got up and put on his shoes. Without saying much he came out of the palace with his horse. Unseen by him, someone was staring at him behind the glass. That man is Nicole, his wife.
