That afternoon Lumiere Castle was deserted. After dressing up beautifully, Lady Britney decided to take a walk in the park because she missed her big house so much. The garden in the western part of the castle looked different from the one he remembered. The taste here is planted with thorny roses, not colorful daisies and also a fountain in the middle of the flower collection.
"Are these flowers newly planted, Dorothy?"
The young maid who often followed wherever Lady Britney was was nodding. "Yes, My Lady. These flowers were planted directly by Lady Luvena."
His activities that admired the beauty of the flowers suddenly stopped. "Lady Luvena did it?"
"She likes to do outdoor activities, My Lady."
"No, that's not why. He just lacks work." Lady Britney chuckles at how Eve's next fate will be. Little girl, just get ready to be overwhelmed with the tasks she gives. Later.
"Together with His Grace, I will add to her agenda so that the little lady will not be lonely anymore." Then the woman looked around. "Oh yes. Where's His Grace now?"
"dm ... His Grace was gone from the early hours of this morning, My Lady," Dorothy replied timidly.
"He should have asked me for permission" he said grimly. "Why did it become like this, why does His Grace look disrespectful to me anymore?!"
"As a result of my explanation, you misunderstood." Dorothy immediately calmed down next to the knee that was placed on the ground. "Please punish me, Madam. His Grace may not be the same as you think!"
"Ah, you're offering me to have fun, huh?" Lady Britney smiled broadly as she played her fingers. Feeling the bases being taken seriously, Dorothy felt bad. "One-way. While outside the castle I rarely punish anyone, there are no toys that are suitable for me. Good thing you're here, Dorothy. At least I didn't die of boredom."
"M-lady...."
"Tell me, would you rather be slashed or whipped?" his voice was polite like a noble. However, that beautiful voice was a nightmare for Dorothy.
"I-it .. I—"
"Ah, My Lady. You're here?"
Lady Britney looked up. Knowing his first son from the Lumiere family was approaching, he could not help but be pleased. Well, anyway, because Ethan and Beckett were the ones to stay comfortably here. He should be able to please these two grown sons.
And among Ethan and Beckett, to be honest Lady Britney loves Ethan more. Physically, his son was more like himself than the duke.
"Ethan, jeez. I've been home since yesterday but why did you just come today?" he was half sulking. Forgetting Dorothy who was still trembling under her feet.
"Aish, my duties are many, My Lady. Even last night I was able to fall asleep after the sun almost appeared, "cool Ethan then hugged his dear mother. Wildly Lady Britney, Ethan never denied that this woman who ever struggled to give birth to herself into this world. There's no reason for Ethan to hate him.
"Three of you are the same. Don't think I exist" continued Lady Britney again, annoyed.
"Nobody thinks like that. To us, you are everything." Ethan smiled thinly. Staring at the mother who had a height of about two fingers under her shoulders. Totally petite for a size of adult woman. "By the way, where are you going?"
"I went around the park, and I planned to go to His Grace but I didn't." He shook his hand. "Of course, maybe my destiny is always my own. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. If you're busy, I'll let you go. There, finish your job."
Ethan shook his head, "Let me accompany you."
"Aren't you busy?"
"Yes, I'll always be busy if I'm not good at taking my time. You rarely come here anyway. At least let me accompany you for a while."
"Yes, let's go to the reading room" Lady Britney excited.
"Who said I wanted to interrupt?" He smiled obliquely, "instead I'll make him focus more on learning. Em, Ethan, what do you think is better between studying for twelve hours non-stop or a full day but being given an hour's rest?"
The man gasped, "You want to study hard?"
"Not for me, but for Lady Luvena." The lady smiled mysteriously. Mind wandered. Ah, it feels good to see the daughter of that miserable woman suffer just like her mother. Who would dare to resist, just look, that Luvena will be made to suffer.
"He always underestimated me. Once in a while, she should be taught a lesson" Lady Britney continued as she walked gracefully through the park to get to the nearest road.
Ethan follows her, but the man is silent.
"Who does she think she is to dare to raise her face in front of me?" Lady Britney raised her chin high while patting her chest proudly. "I'm Lady Britney, future wife of the Duke of Lumiere. If there were thorns in my path, I would not hesitate to throw them away. Including the fucking lady. If necessary, he'll die!"
"Lady!"
Lady Britney turned around, "yes, baby?"
"Do you understand what you just said?" ask Ethan coldly.
Lady Britney looked at her son's face. "Of course I understand. Someday if Lady Luvena still opposes me, I won't hesitate to kill her."
"You should be thankful for saying it in front of me." Ethan took a deep breath. Enough is enough, his emotions are starting to stabilize. "If it's Declan or Beckett, it's very likely that your speech will be delivered to His Grace. If it has already happened, then you will not be able to escape punishment."
"Ethan ... I thought you were on mom's side ..." she said. Lady Britney bowed, her tears shed to melt the heart of the son. Unfortunately, this seems to have been fruitless.
"I will stand on the right side. It's not my family or anyone else I don't know. And here, you are wrong. Intending to kill was a bad act, moreover Lady Luvena was the bride-to-be of Prince Julius of Brodsway. If you kill him, it's the same as waving the war flag between Lumiere against Brodsway and Sasania herself."
"You don't want to live hard, do you?" ethan snorted harshly, "Then just shut up. Enjoy Lumiere's treasure and do nothing. That's been a big help."
After lecturing the mother at length, Ethan turned away with a haughty heart. From over her shoulder, the lady kept calling her name just like a child who was not exposed to sweets.
Ethan thinks Lady Britney has changed, so he wants to familiarize himself with her mother. But the estimates are wrong, Lady Britney just wanted to do a no-no against the only daughter Lumiere. Beloved by everyone. Did the woman have a mental disorder? Oh, come on, even the mother of Declan and Eve welcomed herself and Beckett just like her own son. But why didn't her own biological mother behave the same way, thinking of Luvena as her own daughter? Even with Declan, Lady Britney often threatens him.
Oh, dearGod. How long will Lady Britney stay here with us? ethan is in the heart.
