The Duke Daughter Life
20| Surprise from Lail
...HAPPY READING...
"I'm sure they're just pretending to be in a relationship" Redia accused as she pricked her food.
Aikasi snorted and tightened his jaws as he was still upset that his plan failed even now his reputation had become bad among nobles for being brash at his own engagement party and offending the grand duke.
"Wanner is angry with me. She had kept me quiet since we were engaged," complained Aikasi.
They were in a restaurant filled with rich people. Redia ordered a closed dining room so that they would be more free to meet while chatting.
"I'm really upset to see him, let alone yesterday the Grand Duke came just to greet him." Redia clucked and thrust the newspaper in front of Aikse.
"Getting out today, it surprised me quite a bit" continued Redia.
After reading the headlines in the newspaper, Aikkan slammed the newspaper and exhaled heavily while massaging the temple. "She should have just died that time!"
Geck! Geck!
The door was knocked and a food deliveryman entered. Redia frowned and said that they did not order any more food, but the maid who looked much younger than them, ah, there was no way it looked like a minor, either, about 15 years more, said that this is a special menu given to customers who order private space.
"Then just put it here" said Aiksa pointing to the roomy table space.
The waiter nodded and retreated after that Redia and Aikkan spoke again.
"But this is strange, why can he change in an instant? The change was so annoying. Besides, at least he didn't know the mastermind behind his chariot accident was us."
Aiksa agrees. "Yes, you're right "

"Miss, Miss!"
Seina runs to Lail who reads in the library with Naika and Daval.
"Seina, take care of your attitude!" hardik Daval's.
Seina suddenly stopped and stood up straight while Lail exhaled because since morning Seina was not in the mansion.
"I've been looking for you since morning, where are you going?" ask Lail.
Seina looked agitated, Daval's aura making her even more shudder. "Today I'm in need of Miss Redia" Seina's great-grandson.
Lail immediately stood up, dropped the book on his lap and gripped Seina's shoulder. "What are you doing?!"
Seina closed her eyes to see Lail's anger while Naika did not defend because Seina was acting as she wanted, probably because she was a child. Though Naika has explained what Seina needs to do as Lail's personal servant, but Seina instead does things outside her duty.
"I just want to help Miss. I once saw Miss Redia quietly enter the lady's room and observe the blue dress while laughing like she was possessed by an evil spirit, from there I began to suspect him and today he did something suspicious so I quietly went to follow him."
Lail throws a glance at Daval, but Daval just bows down while apologizing to Lail.
"You must not act recklessly. Especially not knowing what kind of person you're blinding." Lail exhaled and then sat back and picked up the book.
"Seina was wrong, Miss. Even so, I am not defending, but Seina has the potential to be a spy. He moved smoothly without arousing suspicion in his target" Daval said, his look so serious and proud as well as Seina.
"Huh ... Then what do you get from the results of trailing Redia?" ask Lail.
Seina's mouth was slightly advanced, trying to remember what she saw and heard. "Miss Redia went to an expensive restaurant and talked to a woman."
"How did you get in there?" ask Naika.
Seina smiled cunningly. "I used the pocket money from Big Brother to bribe one of the employees to rent out a food delivery shirt."
"It's ingenious" praised Naika.
"You know what they're talking about?" ask Lail.
"I didn't hear much, but they said about the horse-drawn carriage accident they were doing" Seina said.
"Seina," call Lail.
"Yes, Miss?"
"You want to be a female bodyguard?" tawar Lail's.
Seina's eyes sparkled, imagining herself wearing a bodyguard uniform and carrying a sword on her hip. "You!"
Lail glanced at Daval asking for approval. Daval did not mind because the potential of his sister should not be wasted.
"Then I will enroll Seina to Sol Puel Academy."
"Puel Sol?!" Naika and Daval were shocked.
Sol Puel was a prestigious academy and the only ones who could enter there were the conglomerates and nobles because indeed the cost was quite high then the academy was in the center of the royal city, very far from Valazad.
"No-nona isn't that an exaggeration? Then, how do we repay all your kindness?" Daval looks bad.
"Faithful enough by my side is far from enough. But, Seina had to hold out for a few years there, "lail replied.
Seina clenched her hands excitedly at Lail. "I'll do my best, Miss!"
Lail smiled meaningfully, this way he had made his first investment in Seina.
...***...
A week had passed since Lail enrolled Seina in Sol Puel Academy also drove Seina to the Royal City and today, Lail went to the cemetery with Anom and Rebelia to meet her late mother.
Lail saw Anom putting a flower in front of a tombstone that read Cerelia Mayl.
"What a beautiful name" praised Lail.
"It's over?" rebelia asked and followed a weak nod from Anom.
"Father and mom go first, I still want to be here" Lail said.
Rebelia nodded then returned with Anom. Lail now rests in front of the tombstone of her late mother after putting a stalk of lily.
"I'm sorry I acted like your son" said Lail, standing up after paying her respects, leaving the funeral just like that, but just outside the gate, Gaiden had been standing waiting for him with a black long cardigan clad in his gallant body.
"Gaiden?" Lail rubbed her eyes.
"I'm real" said Gaiden.
"Why are you here?"
"So I went to the mansion, but Naika said you were at the funeral so I came to pick you up."
Lail's heart was pounding, not as usual. Why is Gaiden always so sweet when they only pretend to be lovers. Lail stared fixedly at Amber Gaiden's eyes, about to say they better overcome this pretense because the rumors had also subsided, but suddenly Lail's eyes catch Wanner's presence far behind Gaiden while carrying a bouquet of white Lily flowers.
"Lail ..." said Wanner.
Gaiden who heard the voice behind him was about to turn his head, but suddenly Lail's slender hand cupped his face. Gaiden frowned not understandingly, but when Lail tiptoed, a gentle sweep of Lail's lips over hers made Gaiden glare.
In an instant Gaiden was stunned while Wanner dropped the flower in his grasp and furrowed his brows furiously.
"Brake!" exciting Wanner.
Gaiden is aware of what Lail is doing right now. Gaiden's expression turned cold and in one fell swoop, Gaiden had released Lail's seduction on his lips.
"You're doing it to burn Wanner's emotions?" Gaiden asked, his voice and gaze making Lail shudder.
"You offended me a little" Gaiden then took Lail by force in his arms, grabbed Lail's face closer and countered Lail's actions in the same way, but the more serious and aggressive did not hesitate like Lail just now.
