The Duke Daughter Life

28| Opponents Match

...HAPPY READING...

Lail rubbed her hair with a towel then approached the grim-looking Gaiden after reading the letter from the palace.

"What's wrong?"

Gaiden stiffened as a sweet and fresh fragrance attacked him. Instead of answering, Gaiden hugged Lail who was sitting on the edge of a nearby bed.

"Heah ... Estia fell ill and kept calling my name. Brother asked me to go there."

Lail was silent for quite a while. The memories of their stay at the palace made Lail unable to take things lightly on the reasonable assumption that Estia was a Gaiden family, so what was wrong with letting Gaiden go to appease Estia until she recovered.

"We'll go together." Lail decided with a small smile.

"We? You sure?"

"Very sure. I'm not sure if I let you go alone. Anyway, I'm also worried about Estia's condition."

Gaiden nodded then kissed the niche of Lail's neck, left a few traces there then frowned.

"Your smell is a little different" commented Gaiden, his nose crashing around Lail's neck making a small ruckus escape from Lail because of the tingling.

"Stop it, Gaiden." Lail pushed Gaiden's body so hard that the two lay on their backs in bed with Lail pinning down Gaiden.

Gaiden's face looked slightly flushed, Lail could also feel an abnormal heartbeat from her husband.

"Hm, does it smell good?" Lail asked as he chopped his face with two hands resting on the chest of Gaiden's field.

"It's still morning, Lail. Don't tease me, "gaiden's intrusion.

"I'm not teasing you. I'm asking for an opinion."

Gaiden frowned in wonder. "About what? Body scent?"

Lail nodded while Gaiden looked thoughtful. "Hm ... The aroma is quite sharp and too seductive" commented Gaiden.

"I mean I made it."

"successfully? Whatchu mean?"

Lail changed position by sitting on Gaiden's stomach and took out a bottle of perfume from the pocket of her pyjamas towel, showing it to Gaiden.

"I'm busy making perfumes and planning to set up a perfume company!"

"But there are already a lot of perfume companies" Gaiden said.

"But in the Gazea there is none. Most of the merchants get goods from outside the Gazea to sell again" he added.

"Then what kind of help can I do to support you?" ask Gaiden.

"For the moment there is none. I can take care of some things myself."

Gaiden's smile was painted and slowly his hands moved, gripping Lail's hips and swapping their positions. Lail's eyes bought while Gaiden gave a short laugh. "Then take care of me first."

Lail snorted about to refuse because Gaiden always asked while the door was suddenly knocked making Lail surprised to kick Gaiden.

"Breakfast is ready, Duchess," Naika said as the door opened, standing on the lip of the door.

"You're not dressed yet?" Naika frowned seeing Lail sitting on the bed still in towel pajamas.

"Ah, yes. I just finished taking a shower. I'll be right down, Naika."

"But, where's the Grand Duke? Didn't the Grand Duke come home last night, Duchess?" ask Naika.

The tail of Lail's eyes glanced back, finding Gaiden slumped on the floor grimacing silently.

"He's out for a second, just now."

"Then I'll wait in the dining room." Naika then leaves from there and Lail rushes to Gaiden.

"I'm sorry, I was so surprised" Lail said.

"You're too much" complained Gaiden.

"Hurry clean up, I'll wait for you downstairs" said Lail and hurriedly dressed.

...***...

...Hedrixine Palace...

Estia's black eyes rose upwards, so piercing that Gaiden came with Lail.

Estia's mother, Camellia, was unhappy to see Lail's presence, clearly visible from the facial water displayed at this time. But Lail didn't take the dizzy so just gave a friendly smile for Camellia's old face to get worse.

Some royal members, especially Carl and Camellia, were gathering in Estia's room, sitting on a couch not far from the bed while Estia was sitting with her legs propped up on the bed.

Estia continued to stare at Lail without blinking, her fingernails paled because they were clenched so tightly.

"Ohuk!" Lail coughed as she sipped the black tea.

Gaiden immediately moved to lightly pat Lail's back while giving a handkerchief.

"Is your chest hurting?" gaiden asked very worriedly.

Carl and the family looked at each other. The more expressionless Gaiden looked like a statue was acting excessively just because Lail coughed after drinking.

His movements just now were like pulling a sword as fast as lightning, too deft.

"Gtt ... Isn't that overkill?" carl asked with a witty expression.

"People can die just from choking" Gaiden replied and sat back down sweetly after Lail felt better.

Camellia clucked loudly, her whispering voice was clearly heard making Lail turn her attention to him.

"Did your wife do it on purpose, Gaiden?" Camellia then glanced at Estia who was about to cry looking at the scene just now.

"You said what's new—" Gaiden stopped his words as Lail interrupted.

Lail blinked twice then asked, "Sorry, just now while drinking I was a little surprised to see Estia like she was glaring at me," Lail sneered as she lowered her head.

Gaiden glanced at Estia coldly as Gaiden had since realized that Estia's gaze had never escaped Lail.

Gaiden tried to keep quiet because maybe Lail wouldn't notice.

"I want to go to the bathroom for a while," Lail permits then goes out.

After being in the bathroom, Lail flashed a smile, observing her reflection in the mirror. "Haah, I was right. Being the woman of a Grand Duke is not easy."

"But ... Is he really sick?" Lail muttered indistinctly.

At the same time, people who are weak in heart have short breath, often cough and sometimes even there is swelling in the body, but Lail did not find it from Estia. In addition, can a person with a weak heart drink alcohol? Lail had stolen the aroma of alcohol from Estia's body, but suddenly the aroma was lost replaced by the aroma of a perfume that was quite stinging.

"Haah, forget about it," Lail said then exited the bathroom.

"Stop."

Lail stopped for a moment Camellia prevented him on the way out.

"Yes, Miss Camellia?"

"Stop acting romantically with Gaiden in front of my daughter. Just so you know, my daughter's been through this because of Gaiden."

Lail was singing her lips while holding her hands against her chest. "What does the husband do? Did my husband curse your son?" reply Lail.

Camellia was flabbergasted, how could Lail reply to her words instead of obeying! Lail looks weak.

"Sorry, I have to go back." Lail then left, but Camellia followed him and continued to babble.

Lail was so indifferent and when she arrived, Gaiden and Carl had been outside the door, waiting for Lail.

"Thank you for calling, Lail," Gaiden told Camellia.

Lail smiled cynically seeing Camellia nod with an authoritative posture. Calling what, there's threatening.

"We have to go home, Lail," Gaiden said.

"Isn't it too soon? I can go home alone if Estia still wants to be accompanied by you. I'm fine." Lail gave a sincere smile that left Carl stunned. His impression of Lail is getting better.

Gaiden approaches Lail, rubbing Lail's hair. "You think I'll let you go home alone? Don't be silly."

Lail held back a smile. "It looks like my hat is left inside. Then I'll take it and say goodbye to Estia."

Lail enters with Camellia and ends up with Estia holding a hat. Estia did not want to look at Lail, choosing to look straight ahead with a sharp shriveled face.

"Hurry to recover," said Lail and then attach the strung hair to the side of the left shoulder and wear a hat.

Estia turned her head and looked at Lail with a careless look, but her focus fell on a few faded purplish traces on Lail's neckline.

"What's that on your neck?" estia asked, her tone as if judging.

Lail was wide-eyed and hurriedly confirmed the position of her hair as before, hiding the stain.

"Ah, sorry. It's Gaiden." It's Gaiden." Lail smiled shyly along with a soft red hue polishing her face, then Lail hurriedly lowered her head at Estia and Camellia when the door opened, Gaiden watching her for not coming out.

"Then I say goodbye." Lail immediately passed from there, showing a triumphant smile before finally grabbing Gaiden's helping hand.

"You must be position conscious, little boy." Lail glanced at the cynical door of Estia's room which was shut hard by Camellia.

"Ja**ng that! I'm sure he did it on purpose!" raung Estia while throwing a pillow.
