The Duke Daughter Life

...HAPPY READING...

Several guests had already returned, the atmosphere of the wedding party at Kyle's residence slowly dimmed however, the last guest of the evening managed to create a stir.

Kyle and Jay's smiles widened to see the last guest was Lail accompanied by a handsome masked man.

"Congratulations on your marriage."

Lail congratulates Kyle and Jay, but the new couple is curious about Zavir's face, which is driven by a half-face mask, covering his eyes and half his nose.

"I barely recognize you, Lail," Jay said.

Lail smiled faintly while Zavir glanced at Lail. Lail trimmed hair to be short in addition, he said he had to face things that had been avoided because he felt ready to face. Zavir doesn't really understand what Lail is saying, but Zavir knows Lail as if he wants to open a new page.

"Thus ... Who's the guy next to you?" kyle asked curiously.

Lail looked at Zavir and both smiled.

"Can I open it, Lail?"

Lail nods his head and when the mask is removed, Kyle is quite surprised to see the second prince of the Asylam kingdom is Lail's partner at his wedding.

"What is the relationship between you?" Kyle looked enthusiastic.

"I only asked Prince Zavir for help to accompany me here."

Kyle looked disappointed and Zavir responded with a small ruckus, but the calm ended when Gaiden and Nilyar appeared there. Nilyar wore a pink dress while holding the baby while Gaiden was so affectionate as to embrace Nilyar's exposed shoulder.

Kyle is surprised, he thinks that Lail is his last guest, but he forgets Gaiden.

Gaiden's breath seemed to be stuck in the esophagus seeing Lail holding hands with a man while Nilyar was surprised to see Lail finally dare to appear plus invite Zavir as a couple.

Nilyar stares at Gaiden, who lets go of him, approaching Lail, who has a firm body and a firm expression, with no emotions of sadness or disappointment.

"L-lil's? Is that you?" gaiden's amber pupil is slightly vibrating and teary. The big hand that was about to reach Lail's face was immediately pushed gently by Zavir who immediately brought Lail closer to his side.

Gaiden's gaze shifted, staring fiercely at Zavir. So, that night he did not misunderstand, his guess was right and maybe Nilyar already knew it so it was not too surprised. Gaiden suppressed anger, tightened his jaw while clenching his hands on the sides of the body.

"Don't you owe me an explanation and an apology, Lail?" Gaiden knitted his brows seeing how Lail looked comfortable near Zavir.

Lail nodded his head. "Yes, I owe you an explanation and an apology. But not here, I'll meet you in Valazad, so see you there."

After saying that, Lail smiled at Kyle and Jay for making the atmosphere uncomfortable. Then, Zavir took Lail to the center of the room while the music returned to play to bring some guests dancing for one more time before the party was really over.

Gaiden felt his chest full and longed to see a hand other than himself at Lail's waist, another man's eyes looked at Lail more closely. Gaiden is overwhelmed, his chest rumbling and about to tear Zavir away from Lail, but Kyle and Jay join forces to dance near Lail and Zavir, trying to prevent Gaiden from approaching.

"Tsk!"

"G-grand Duke, where are you going?" asked Nilyar who was walking a bit hastily as Gaiden came out of the crowd.

"Back to Valazad."

"When I thought my life would start to improve because Gaiden started accepting me, but why did that woman have to show up again!"

...***...

...Gazea, Castle of the Grand Duke Of Valazad....

"Ah, so this is the guy's place?" Zavir sat down as his horse-drawn carriage entered Gaiden's courtyard.

Now, Lail and Zavir have entered the castle and are asked to wait in the living room but, Zavir has to watch how the castle dwellers miss Lail, not only that even the butler named Sebas was endlessly wiping away the tears from seeing Lail in good shape.

"Grand Duke is waiting for you in his private room, let me drop you off." Sebas ended his grief after remembering Gaiden's orders.

Lail nodded her head and stood up however, Zavir swiftly grabbed Lail's wrist, looking on with anxiety. "Let me come along" Zavir said.

"It won't take long, please wait here, Zavir." Lail smiled gently and Zavir was forced to obey and let Lail disappear from behind the door.

Now, Zavir breathed heavily while leaning tired on the sofa. His chest was much more painful due to the unreal conjecture of his chaotic mind.

"What would Lail say? What if ... That guy made Lail waver and get back together?"

Zavir rubbed a rough face. "Do I have to keep quiet until everything I don't want happens? At least I'd like to try, just once." Zavir stood up and left the living room.

Meanwhile, in a private room. The loud voice of Gaiden sitting opposite Lail resonated clearly.

Lail told her why she chose to run away and divorce unilaterally. Lail knew that his actions hurt Gaiden, especially that the problem did not come entirely from Gaiden's intent. But Lail said she couldn't face the changes that would happen later on with the worries that made her suffer. Then, as for Arthur's problem, with courage Lail finally said it made Gaiden really feel that Lail was punishing him so badly.

"I'll do anything, Lail. Please, think of our son!" Gaiden prevents Lail from leaving the room, blocking a pair of Lail's shoulders.

"Not anymore, Gaiden. I think our relationship's been over since you and Nilyar were bound."

Lail jerks Gaiden's hand. However, the amber-eyed man switched to taking Lail forcibly in a crib. Lail glared and tried to let go of Gaiden.

"What the fuck, Gaiden! Let go, both me and you can't be together anymore!"

Gaiden smiled bitterly. "That's what you said? Is it because of that guy? You and him are in a relationship, right, so you end it all just like that."

Lail held off the crack. "This has nothing to do with Zavir. I don't want to run away, I want to face you completely and my problems!"

"You lied! I'm sure you still love me. Please, Lail, say it!" Gaiden hugged Lail until the door opened and a single blow floated across Gaiden's face.

Now, Gaiden staggers to his death after crashing into the body of the desk, while lifting his head to understand what happened, Gaiden finds Lail has switched in Zavir's arms.

"If you love her and have great regrets, fulfill her wishes. At least, stop urging her to accept the painful thing. Mail ... He was tired enough to endure it all!" Zavir said out loud making Lail gasp at him.

...CONNECT ......
