"Good morning, Duchess!"
The long blonde hair is rather wavy, the lean body is proportioned, the thin sleeping pajamas with rope are greeted with shady gazes from the eyes of a sparkling emerald stone when clashing the sun's twinkle from the window, perfectly attached to the figure of the woman who was standing in front of a large window that was wide open.
"Yes, good morning, Naika," she replied.
Lail Manuella is no longer the daughter of the Duke of Raitle but the wife of Grand Duke Valazad, Duchess of Valazad.
A month ago, Lail thought Gaiden meant to be engaged to her, but since the man could no longer resist having her, as a result, a private marriage was arranged.
It had been a month since they got married and Lail settled in Themelio Castle, bringing Naika and Daval by her side.
"Grand Duke has business outside, so go in the morning blind" Naika said as she tidied up Lail's bed.
Lail gave a small nod and sat down on the sofa while closing her eyes. "He always made my body hurt overnight and just left. Gaiden is outrageous," lail lamented.
Naika giggles then brings a box to Lail.
"What's this?"
"Eitherway. Grand Duke leave this to me to give to the Duchess when she wakes up."
Lail grabbed the box, opened it. A simple but beautiful dress was inside. Lail gave the dress to Naika then rushed to take a shower.
Meanwhile at Hedrixine Palace, Gaiden meets his family and uncovers a new hidden fact that he has married the daughter of a duke in his territory. Everyone was shocked, especially Estia whose hope was shattered and collapsed.
A lot of things happened, so only a few people knew they were married. In addition, Gaiden deliberately told after marriage because he did not want bad things to mess up his wedding party plus it seems Estia will not stay silent.
"Ukh!" Estia felt tight, squeezing her left chest.
"Estia!" Estia's mother approached, wiping it off.
Gaiden who saw it was just a face throw, better it happens now than later because in the end Estia will get the same news.
"You should understand Estia's feelings!" estia's mother said loudly.
"In the end Estia will get the same news because I won't be what she expected in her life." Gaiden said coldly made Estia's heart more sick.
Estia had a weak heart but was so cheerful that she felt Gaiden paying little attention to her even so coldly, but this fact slapped her mind. Therefore, Gaiden is careful to face Estia because it is impossible to overdo it to get Estia out of her life.
"You should think more wisely. Gaiden has a life of his own, has the right to decide what he wants to do and choose from his life."
Gaiden's brother as the king spoke, silencing Estia's mother's anger.
"Then Estia, stop torturing yourself and Gaiden. Do you want to block your uncle's freedom? So far, Gaiden's been holding back and it's the first time he's made a big decision for his life." The king again said to make Estia more stupefied to be stunned without a word from the family room.
After all the family members left, Gaiden approached the older brother who was defending him.
"... Thank you, brother," said Gaiden.
"Bring your wife here, introduce us because she's now part of the royal family."
Gaiden smile. "Yes, I'll take him."

...Hedrixine Palace...
The palace of this era is really beautiful and magnificent, however, not much different from his palace, so Lail haya was amazed. Walking quietly and showing a friendly face, Lail managed to grab a lot of attention.
Bright blonde hair with white skin as smooth as porcelain, bright green eyes as if blending with nature make it look charming in the eyes of the palace dwellers, even when entering the living room, everyone was excited for a while.
"Lail, come here." Gaiden reached out to Lail to fill the empty seat.
Lail was sitting there, next to Gaiden. It felt nervous when the gaze of the royal family fell on him, Lail's hands moved uneasily and tensely, but from under the table, the, gaiden's big hand clasped his hand and threw a soothing smile as if saying everything would be fine.
Meanwhile, Estia must have been very surprised to see the presence of Lail, the same woman in the castle that night, so Gaiden lied to her by saying that she was the resident of the castle?! Estia hardened her jaw, her face filled with anger.
Feeling a piercing glare, Lail's eyes shimmered and found Estia staring at him from the other end of the chair.
Lail turned her face away making Estia even more upset while the conversation between the family began and Lail mingled quickly without causing any awkwardness.
After the introduction, enjoy the banquet and throw a small party to welcome Lail, Gaiden Lail finally can go home when the afternoon is getting dimmer.
Gaiden and Lail rode on Marcus until he boarded the ship until he reached Gazea.
"Everyone is counting on you" Gaiden said after they arrived a few hours ago at Themelio Castle.
Lail smiled. "That's all thanks to you."
...***...
Estia stared fixedly at the night through the large winged window in her room, then snorted in annoyance as she glanced at the trained knight she had just summoned.
"Kill my uncle's wife, Grand Duke Valazad" he ordered.
The knight looks like a shadow in Estia's room which is only illuminated by a candle.
"When, Princess?"
"Wait until my uncle leaves Valazad, and then hurry and find the right time to kill him and leave a trail."
The knight nodded in reverence. "Ready, Princess."
Estia smiled and then walked out of the room after the knight had disappeared from before her. Estia walked down the winding stairs then smirked.
After saying so, Estia's tail eyes found her uncle, the Hedrixine King street opposite to her in the corridor.
"Estia? What's up?" Carl, the King of Hedrixine, is shocked to see Estia squashing while squeezing her left chest and having trouble breathing.
"P-paman was very sick .. "cloak Estia and slowly unconscious.
Carl exclaims loudly, calls the waiter to bring the doctor to work immediately maybe then he carries Estia to the room.
Several family members had gathered at Estia's kamsr after doctors finished checking in. An anxious and tense look swept across their faces while Estia was still unconscious.
"Surely she was hit because of Gaiden," Estia's mother said.
Carl clucked bitterly at the words of his sister-in-law and soon heard the rumble from Estia who was half-conscious.
"A ... I want to see uncle ... I want uncle here ... "
Carl exhales heavily and glances at one of his family members to send a letter to Gaiden to come to Hedrixine Palace due to Estia's slightly apprehensive condition.
