The Duke Daughter Life

05| Feel Threatened

...HAPPY READING...

Lail spent a month taking care of irrigation problems with his father, in fact it was completed faster but, Lail spent a lot of time checking the development of the farmers' land and the results were quite good. Lail's first success made him proud by the citizens of Jaik even Anom look satisfied with Lail's hard work.

Another good impact, the occupants of the mansion had a different view of Lail's figure until the treatment and bad look at her had changed for the better.

"So long ago my sister didn't go shopping. Don't you want to buy some stuff with me?"

Now that Lail was in the library, as usual he was just reading a book while enjoying tea until noon, but it was still ten in the morning and Redia with her personal servant approached Lail.

Lail refused Redia's invitation considering that there are still many new clothes in the wardrobe as well as some items such as accessories to make the drawers claustrophobic in her room.

Redia became upset that Lail continued to reject her invitation until finally with a book growl in Lail's grip pulled roughly and nudged the teacup on the small round table on the side Lail was sitting on.

The cup broke into pieces that scattered around Lail. Naika who saw that was shocked, not because of the broken glass but rather the brash actions of Redia.

Lail was still sitting but his eyes moved to intimidate Redia who was acting innocent and even dropped the book between them.

"Finally you showed your true form, yes," said Lail, commenting on a cynical smile and glancing towards the library entrance, where several servants came upon hearing the sound of the falling cup.

Realizing that the surroundings were starting to get crowded, Redia immediately sat down in front of Lail while crying as if making Naika want to curse and reveal the facts that happened but, Lail held back by giving a hand code.

"What's going on?"

"Looks like Miss Lail molested Miss Redia."

"I thought he'd changed."

"That's a pity Miss Redia."

Some servants started accusing Lail until Redia smiled faintly on the sidelines of her fake prank while Lail asked Redia's personal waitress to clean the shards of the cups.

But the waiter did not heed Lail's orders until finally Redia's mother and mother continued Lail came.

"What's going on here, Redia?" Rebela, Redia's mother asked while helping Redia stand up.

"Silver was angry when I came to greet him because I was harassing his time so brother accidentally doused me with his tea," replied Redia.

"Is that true, Lail?!"

Lail stood up then bowed low to Rebela. Instead of answering, Lail called the library guard and asked him to explain what happened.

A young man approached, looked at Lail for a moment and told her what had happened.

"Miss Redia suddenly came and invited Miss Lail to go shopping, but Miss Lail refused. Not long ago Miss Redia pulled the rough book held by Miss Lail and dropped the cup containing tea."

Rebela was surprised then looked at Redia in disappointment while Redia tried to dodge however, once again Lail made her stifled.

"If I douse her, why is my dress soaked, Duchess? Look, even the shards from my cup don't wander around Redia but around me."

Redia lowered her head in embarrassment while Lail approached while touching the shoulder of Redia's personal servant.

"I won't raise this problem, Duchess. But ...." Lail glared at the servant when she dared to raise her head and look at him. "Teach this servant harder about his duties and responsibilities as a servant." Lail squeezed the servant's shoulder until it sounded ringing.

Rebela and Redia shudder at Lail's actions but a second later Lail throws a smile at them and releases her grip on the servant's shoulder.

"I have to change my dress, so I have to go." Lail then got out of there without much more talk while Rebela scolded Redia.

Although she is connected to Lail, Rebela is not as bad as Redia instead Rebelaa is fair to both of them but, sometimes there are times when Rebelaa has to protect Redia even though she knows that Redia made a mistake.

...***...

Lail exhaled a sigh of relief from having come out of the mansion, breathe fresh air while walking around the city and then sit on a chair that is located not far from the fountain in the middle of the city square.

Lail took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction at how Redia had lost the self-created war, but there was sadness in Lail's eyes.

He should be grateful to have been given a second life, but until now many things that make him miss his previous life.

"Relix ...."

Lail looked up and found Wanner standing before him with a wry smile, not as usual.

Lail did not respond and chose to turn her face, looking for interesting things to see, but Wanner just sat next to her and tried to invite her to speak.

"You really changed, yeah." Wanner started the conversation awkwardly.

"...."

Lail remained silent and then was about to leave from there, but Wanner swiftly blocked his right wrist making Lail surprised to spontaneously jerk roughly.

Wanner stared at the pusar of his hand and then turned against Lail, it was true that there was no love for him in Lail's eyes but rather a burning hatred.

"sorry. I didn't mean anything else. I happen to see you saying hello. How are you?" ask Wanner.

Lail exhaled after feeling calm and replied, "Much better."

"It's good to see you again." Wanner laughed a little while Lail just kept quiet.

For some reason now there is a sense of regret sneaking in the heart of Wanner. Since Lail really broke off the engagement, Wanner felt lonely because no one else visited early in the morning, followed him and chatted about unimportant things.

"Now we don't have any relationship, so please don't get too close to me, Marquess."

Wanner's tongue became heavy when he wanted to reply to Lail's words until Lail left him. While Wanner for the first time felt the thumping that made her feel sick. Lail's disregard for her made Wanner seem to be missing something.

"Did he feel the same way every time I ignored him?" mummy Wanner.

Meanwhile, Aiksa is furious to see that Wanner has just been involved in a conversation with Lail. Though today Aikkan asked for a shopping company but suddenly Wanner disappeared and instead met Lail. Therefore, during the journey home Aikkan was silent until finally when Wanner finished delivering Aikan back home, Wanner ventured to ask why Aikkan was silent and looked angry.

"Did I make you mad, honey?" tanya Wanner who has taken Aekkan to the room.

Aikan tightened his jaw and then threw away his face while saying annoyed. "Why did the Marquess secretly meet Lady Lail?! Wh-what Marquess is trying to get back at him!"

Wanner was wide-eyed, so Aikkan saw the incident. "Well, that's not what you think, honey." Wannner tried to calm down.

"Did Lady Lail ask the Marquess to meet? I knew from the beginning that Lady Lail was just pretending to stay away from the Marquess and trying to tempt the Marquess back into our relationship!"

"What are you saying, honey? Lail didn't do anything, don't just indiscriminately accuse him." Wanner interrupted quickly but, it ignited Aikkan's emotions.

"Look! Now the Marquess is defending Lady Lail!"

Wanner gave a rough snort and then stared irritatedly at Aikan whose cries were getting louder making Wanner dizzy to hear it. Aiksa always raises small problems and even exaggerates, it is not liked by Wanner from Aikasi.

"Shut up, Aikkan!" snapped Wanner.

Aukan was silent, looked at Wanner disappointed and then pushed Wanner out of the room, locked the door and asked Wanner to go home immediately because he did not want to see Wanner for a while.

"Huh .... The longer he gets the more annoying," Inner Wanner then goes from there without coaxing Aeka again.

...CONNECT ......
