My Annoying Duke's

Palpitates

When Vale broke away, he had no power not to wipe away the tears. Slowly he followed his instincts to wipe away the tears with his fingers.

Nicole opened her eyes and looked at Vale. Suddenly his heart was beating hard.

"Don't cry "vale whispered while holding his hand on both of Nicole's cheeks. Unknowingly, Vale's lips were already in Nicole's favor. His heart is beating faster.

What's the matter? thought Nicole. Why does it feel real?

A big round of applause graced the room. Vale turned his body around and smiled widely while waving his hands at the entire invited guests.

King Juan and Queen Zest looked at each other. All the invited guests present were happy, but why did they see anything different from the two brides.

"Darling, did you see it?" ask Queen Zest.

King Juan nodded without letting go of his gaze on Nicole.

"I hope it's not something bad. My brother is the kindest and most caring person. I never saw Nicole as a bad person except that time. So I hope nothing's gonna happen."

"We better get close to them." King Juan and Queen Zest rose from their seats.

"The two of you are very compatible, Nicole." Lisa said, looking very enthusiastic. "But something was bothering me, were you crying?"added slowly.

"I'm just too emotional." Answer Nicole slowly.

"Do you remember what I said?" Lisa was full of pressure.

"Yes, I remember it."

"Goodoo. I had to do this for the family's good name."

Nicole nodded slowly. "I knew. You're doing this for my good name too."

"Then where is your annoying husband?" Lisa looked at the whole room.

"He's preparing the train."

"You guys go straight to Arsy's Palace?" lisa was surprised.

"Yes, King Juan has given it as a wedding gift. Looks like Vale doesn't feel good about King Juan if we don't move there right away."

"Nicole is so lucky to have my sister." Said Queen Zest who was behind her.

Lisa nodded her head to pay her respects. And so did Nicole.

"I'm so happy that you're married to my sister. Best brother in the world."

"Thank you Queen. I feel lucky to be married to the Duke of Vanguard's successor. Who doesn't know the Duke of Vanguard at Artaleta" Nicole replied quietly.

"We are still waiting for when Vale will be confirmed as the new Duke of Vanguard to replace papa."

"It won't be long" replied King Juan, now behind him.

Nicole and Lisa nodded their heads.

"I'm so happy to see you married Vale. We are family now."

"Over and again I say. I apologize for my past mistakes. I'm too jealous of you. You didn't do anything." Zest said as she clasped Nicole's hand. "Now you're my family. I'm so happy." she added.

"I'm glad that all problems can be solved, Queen."

"Oh yeah, I don't know why the Vale prefers the Palace of Arsy to the Palace of Dalles."

"The Arsy Palace is south of Azalea. The palace was commonly used by my father when hunting."

Lisa looked at Nicole quickly. He feels worried.

"I'm sorry I interrupted your conversation. I gotta get my wife away quickly." Said Vale who came suddenly.

"Can't you stand being alone with your wife?"king Juan's Goda.

"It's late at night, my lord. We don't want to come there last night."

"Isn't that good?" king Juan's Temptation is back.

Vale immediately grabbed Nicole's hand and took her away from Artaleta Palace.
