A Demon Duchess
23. rose
-Astrantia kingdom's.
The warm rays of the sun illuminated the capital city of Astrantia, the boisterous atmosphere of the market people passed by without any sense of uneasiness.
The incident on the wedding night of their King and Queen is like a gust of wind that exists but never realized let go as bitter memories or creepy events they bring up just not.
There was never any conversation after that incident, not even nobles dared to make it as a topic of conversation.
Among his bustling atmosphere was a person in black robes who walked towards the duke's mansion which was not far from the capital's border. "When sister offers you a lady's luxurious horse carriage" said the man in black robes with a white cat who was in her arms.
"I'm sure after that incident not a single noble would be willing to visit" said a girl who was next to the man. "You don't have any friends, do you?" Ask the man who is none other than Prince Alex.
"No, just a business partner" Althea replied confidently making Alex feel a little pity. The two of them kept walking towards the mansion, don't tell me you guys thought that they would use the hidden path or whatever it was.
"You sure you're coming in through the front door?" Alex hesitated a little. "It's my house, of course it has to go through the front door!" Alex really salutes the mindset of Althea maybe he could also use this way when he was expelled from wisteria.
Wait up? Other than Felix no one can drive Alex away, so like him he won't be a bum.
"Meow.." Whether since when Alex began to get close to the canace, maybe because Alex is the type of person who likes animals.
Althea and Alex walked leisurely to the main gate, where there were many knights and guards from the palace, and there were many, Althea spread her demonic aura which was extremely dense despite not being visible to the eyes yet the aura was truly suffocating.
"Who are you?! Order from the King no one can enter the Duke's residence without his permission." Althea smiled cynically, King's permission? Very amusing.
"That kind of thing doesn't have to use energy, right?" Alex said humbly. The knight and the bodyguard looked furious and pulled out their weapons, Althea knew some of them no matter how they just carried out the breng**k's orders.
"Meow.." Canace who seemed to understand the jumping situation from Alex's sling and looked at Althea with sparkling eyes. "Don't let anyone die yeah, we need to still need them" Althea recalled.
Canace who was still in the form of a white-haired cat slowly changed to follow the footsteps, smudged canace shines, followed by the knights who were surprised instead of playing, Magic animals? But how can!
Not having the time to answer their curiosity canace roared so loudly, The people inside the mansion were shocked but after that they smiled.
"Looks like the little one's having fun" Anne said to another maid. True they already knew Althea was coming today and reclaimed her rights as the sole heir of Duke Amaryllis.
*flashback*
Duke Amaryllis' once peaceful residence turned into a complete mess, after the events of that night the sole heir of Duke Amaryllis, Lady Altheana, disappeared without a trace - not only that she even became a descendant!
The days just passed even the training ground for the knights trained under the auspices of the Amaryllis family who were always crowded every day was now completely deserted.
The servants also began to be uncomfortable continuing to live in a city that had no host, especially the guards and knights sent by the king who made things worse.
"Anne I'm sorry we can't keep working here" said two waiters who were now together with their neatly arranged belongings.
This is also not the first time that a servant has resigned in the midst of this chaotic situation, but Anne believes Althea will not run away, Anne knew Althea for a very long time, he said, he knew that Althea didn't even have time for it.
Anne was in her room with the window open and staring at the starry night sky, in the middle of her daydreams a blue-colored light suddenly appeared.
The light slowly formed a snowflake, from which a large white Tiger he knew approached him with a Sliced of letters.
Anne opened the letter and read it, smiling as she stroked Canace's feathers. Anne hurriedly wrote the reply.
I'm very grateful that Miss is fine, after the lady went the bodyguards and knights from the Palace watch over the Mansion, her Majesty the King also sometimes comes here. I hope the lady returns soon and takes over this vacant position.
- Anne
Anne rolled up the letter and handed it to Canace. "Tong arrived well!" Said Anne while patting Canace's head gently.
....
*flashback off*
Althea walks into the Duke Mansion followed by Alex who is still amazed by the charm of Canace, indeed *familiar it is not far from the nature of its owner.
*animal created from the owner's magic.
"Lady Amaryllis!!" Shouted one of the knights, Althea stopped her steps. "Really, you're Lady Amaryllis?" Ask her again. Not her answer Althea took out a piece of her ice rose
*mobile, jlebb!! Althea threw the rose towards the Knight earlier, the rose that Althea threw was slowly changing shape into a very sharp weapon, lucky that Althea did not really target the knight.
After sticking into the tree goods, the weapon returned again to its original form, the rose. Althea's eyes glowed red signifying her demonic side had been active.
"Come out," said Althea coldly, along with that Althea stomping her feet made the ground behind her freeze quickly and very slippery for sure.
Making the knights easily exit the gate and just now they were thinking of entering Althea closed the gate with a single blow.
"Wahh, even though the way to throw it out does not need to be cruel," said Alex who had just noticed.
"But that way the rumors about you will spread faster, a good choice." Althea blinked her eyes a few times to hide her red eyes.
"Welcome Miss Altheana." Up ahead are already lined with some services that are still loyal to the Amaryllis family, they welcome Althea and Alex with great affection.
...
"Crystal roses?" Asked a woman in the middle of her conversation with one of the knights. "Yes, Queen, the two men are wearing black robes so you don't know their identities, but judging from their postures are a woman and a man." The person who was none other than Irene was starting to think.
"And they too were with a white tiger" said the knight again. "White tiger?" Ask Irene. "Right, it's a noble, mature white tiger that looks very tame with those two people." The altheana? Maybe it was him? But who was the person who was with her and the white tiger was completely unreasonable!
"Find out about the rose and let not your majesty know."
