Became A Blind Villain
Duke Damien's Plan.

Meanwhile, Duke Damien is taking care of some of the business in his study and calculating how much spending by the three women in his house. Although she loves Arabella and doesn't care if she squanders her money. However, Duke Damien would not be willing if Arabella treated Ashlyn unfairly like this.

The result was that Arabella outlasted more than Ashlyn, and Annabel outlasted more than Ashlyn. This can't be allowed to go on and make his emotions go up, but a waiter hurriedly came in to report that Ashlyn again showed a sad face today and could only sigh feeling concerned at her daughter but she could not do anything due to speech own daughter.

Don't do anything like when you're not here.

Haah, whereas if Ashlyn says her request to him, Duke Damien can make the Crown Prince his. However, yesterday the boy himself said that he no longer cared about Annabel and the Crown Prince's relationship. The girl even said that she would not care if they were struck by lightning.

It really gives him a headache.

"Bin, did Ashlyn never buy a lot of stuff every month?"

Duke Damien thought of the vastly different expenditure between these three people and finally asked.

Bin politely nodded his head, the bespectacled old man replied, "Miss Ashlyn doesn't seem to be interested in jewelry and other things like the young noble ladies living in the capital. He never bought many new items while his old ones were still usable. Miss Ashlyn also prefers to look simple and spend her time in the library studying and reading books, or practicing music in the music room."

Hearing him, the Duke simply nodded his head and asked back. "What about Arabella and Annabel?"

"As in general how noble women who live in the capital, Duchess Arabella always pay attention to the development and progress of fashion that exists and follow it, she said, he bought a lot of stuff for Miss Annabel every time a new item was taken out. While Miss Annabel often spends her money on charity."

Hearing him the Duke almost lost his mind, how could Arabella change so much. In the past, the woman did not even care about the development of fashion and always appeared simple. "Then, how did Ashlyn look at them."

"Miss Ashlyn doesn't care."

"really?"

Bin the butler nodded his head.

"Then when Ashlyn did evil things to Annabel, how did Arabella react to it? Did he hurt Ashlyn?"

Bin smiled weakly and replied. "The Duchess does not have the courage to hurt Miss Ashlyn because Miss Ashlyn is your daughter His Highness the Duke."

Hearing this, the Duke was relieved and a little understood, Arabella still seemed to hold her words that Ashlyn was his precious daughter whom he had to take care of and forbade her from hurting Ashlyn.

Perhaps because of this, Arabella could only send a lot of letters of complaint for the crime that Ashlyn committed and ask him to return to take care of this matter because Arabella was powerless to Ashlyn.

"Does that mean Annabel was always hurting Ashlyn?"

Not yet had Bin answered his Master's question, a servant again knocked on the door and entered to report that Miss Ashlyn had already asked if her wand had come or not.

Hearing this, Duke Damien and Bin were both shocked until they stared at each other. Her petite and innocent looking daughter would immediately carry out her intention to beat up Annabel.

"Where's Annabel now?" Duke Damien finally asked, he had already thought about it that the only way to deal with this matter was to put a protective spell on Annabel's body and have her pretend to scream in pain if Ashlyn beat her.

Ashlyn who is blind will not know what happened and in this way both parties will be equally benefited. Annabel will not be hurt and Ashlyn will feel satisfied because she feels she has hit Annabel.

However, Duke Damien's question was not answered, Arabella opened the door violently and walked quickly to Duke Damien.

"Damien! What the hell are you doing? You're gonna let my only daughter get beaten up by Ashlyn, where your compassion and the title of Duke Daren Lynx who never hurt innocent people reside!" Arabella shouted right in front of Duke Damien's desk sitting quietly.

Arabella's chest cramped in anger, her face showing annoyance and disappointment at Duke Damien.

Seeing Arabella's sharp gaze and anger, Duke Damien waved his hand and Bin and the two servants who had previously come to report immediately resigned and closed the door so that Duke Damien and Arabella could speak.

"Damien, I'm marrying you not for this and I'm calling you back neither for this, how can you let Ashlyn beat up my poor daughter, what do you think!"

Duke tapped on the table with his long index finger and said coldly. "And I married you not for this."

Hearing Duke Damien's reply, Arabella was completely shocked to the point of subconsciously stepping back.

"What did you say?" Arabella almost stuttered when she said this. "You want to say that you regret marrying me? You can't regret it, you're the one who chased me even I rejected you twice but you said you only wanted me, you said I was the most deserving! You said you'd accept Annabel as your daughter and treat her well, guarantee her life, but what Annabel got! You will let my beloved daughter suffer with all those blows! You ...."

"You're the most deserving to take care of Ashlyn." Duke Damien cut off Arabella's greeting, he then glanced at Arabella with his blue eyes darkened and Arabella could only be glued on as she stared at it.

"True, I'm after you, I love you and I'm fascinated by your beautiful face, but I never thought that beauty was important, I needed a mother who would take care of me, love and educate Ashlyn. When I saw you in the village first, I really wanted Ashlyn to grow up to be like you, a gentle and loving woman to others. But right now, I seem to have to think twice about doing that."

Arabella stammered and she immediately corrected her attitude when she saw Duke Damien put a hint of annoyance on her face.

"Darling, you don't understand, Ashlyn never accepts me, she ignores me and she doesn't trust me. I never hurt her and could only see Ashlyn doing evil things to Annabel. Which mother's heart was not saddened at seeing the daughter she had been carrying for nine months and had she cared for for many years being treated unfairly by others. I felt very sad, but I was helpless because I could do nothing but send you a letter. I can't handle Ashlyn, believe me, I've tried my best to get along with Ashlyn, but it's Ashlyn who's denied my existence."

Listening to this, the Duke's heart was slightly touched and could understand the difficulties that Arabella was experiencing. Bin said Arabella never hurt Ashlyn and their relationship was like water and oil crossing each other.

After all in the past, Duke himself also found it difficult when caring for Ashlyn because Ashlyn never wanted to get away from him, little Ashlyn always followed him everywhere and did not want to follow others. Either the child is shy or does not like the existence of others, but the child does like to be alone since childhood, and Duke's marriage took place when Ashlyn was six years old, he said, she still remembered the unhappy face of her daughter upon seeing the arrival of Arabella and Annabel, even the child had started to distance her from that moment, as if her daughter had lost her trust in Duke Damien herself.

Duke Damien finally can only sigh, Ashlyn's personality since the first time was already different from other children and when he first met Arabella and Annabel, he said, Duke begins to think that the two of them could be friends for Ashlyn while she goes on duty. However, the opposite happened, the two did not get along even Ashlyn precisely the body of being a girl out of control and doing bad things.

Duke Damien massaged his temple and said, "Call Annabel here."

Duke Damien looked at him. "You take it easy, I'll put a protective spell on Annabel's body. I'll just have him pretend to scream in pain every time Ashlyn beats him. Ashlyn could not see, she would not notice it and it would make her heart feel happy."

Hearing him there was a sense of relief within Arabella's chest, but her worry was not completely gone. "What if the spell fails, I hear you're carrying a barbed wand covered in poison, what if Annabel's life is in danger?"

"Do you doubt my abilities?"

Arabella flashes in disbelief but she must believe, this is her husband the great Duke Damien Daren Lynx, she must not doubt her abilities and with that Annabel is called to face.

The girl grew up well, very beautiful with a face that nourished the feelings of everyone who saw her. His eyes were black like the darkness of the night and the reflection of light adorning his eyes made it look like there was a small star there. Her long black hair was always left unraveled, this girl's makeup was actually very simple, but with her pretty face as well as her fancy clothes, this girl looked very glittering.

Duke Damien looked at Annabel who was bowing her head. "Annabel." Duke called.

Annabel timidly stuck her face to look at Duke Damien.

"Yes, Dad."

The Duke continued to stare and ask, "How have you been with Ashlyn all this time, have you guys never been close at all?"

Hearing her, Annabel was stunned before lowering her head again then shaking her head. "No Dad" he replied weakly.

"You are brothers and your age is almost the same, so how can you not be familiar?"

Annabel fell silent, having trouble answering Duke Damien's question.

Arabella who was by Duke Damien's side replied. "Darling, I told you Ashlyn was pulling away from us and not letting us hang out with her."

Listening to that Duke Damien's eyes narrowed, he looked at Annabel carefully and assessed how this stepdaughter was during the incident at the flower garden that afternoon, this girl seemed to be trying to get close to Ashlyn, indeed, but his attitude at that time really made the Duke inexhaustible and made the Duke inevitably look at Arabella.

Did Arabella really teach Annabel such things? Duke Damien wants to test it.

Arabella who was stared at became nervous and asked. "Darling, what's wrong?"

Duke Damien did not answer his question and turned his attention to Annabel.

"Tell me, Annabel. If I ask the Crown Prince from you for Ashlyn, will you give it to me?"

Both are stunned and Arabella responds faster than Annabel. "Dear, what are you saying? How can you do this, the Crown Prince loves Annabel and vice versa, for the sake of making amends to Ashlyn you will separate two people who love each other, you cannot hurt their hearts."

Arabella tried to plead, but Annabel then replied. "I'm ready, Dad."

Hearing her, Arabella had trouble breathing and looked at her daughter in disbelief. "Annabel, what are you saying?"

Annabel squeezed her fingers and looked at her mother. "It's okay Mom, I'm willing to hand over the Crown Prince to Ashlyn to make her happy. After all it was true, Ashlyn who had saved the Crown Prince, she who was more entitled to be by the Crown Prince's side for saving the Crown Prince's life."

Duke Damien's eyebrows shot up upon hearing Annabel's explanation and judging Annabel as a brave girl, he wasn't afraid to tell the truth and let the Crown Prince down. This girl did have the manners and humility that people said, but why did she behave like that yesterday?

Duke Damien couldn't help but think about it. However, leave the matter to later. Now all he has to do is cast a protective spell on Annabel.

However, when the spell pattern is directed at Annabel, a blue light appears on Annabel's body which proves that there is already another spell attached to Annabel's body and this is a royal spell.

The Crown Prince has cast a protective spell to protect Annabel. So, actually she shouldn't have to worry about Annabel if Ashlyn beat her on the street.

When he saw the golden light and the blue light shining on Annabel's body, Arabella was amazed, he and Annabel who came from among ordinary humans could not use magic and when they saw magic, he and Annabel, who came from among ordinary humans, could not use magic, they will always be fascinated.

After putting down the magic, Duke Damien stood up and said, "Ashlyn already said that she doesn't want the Crown Prince anymore, but her mood is very bad, let her hit you ...."

"Duke, how can you do this to your own daughter?"

Duke Damien's words were cut off by the door that suddenly opened and Crown Prince Hanz's loud voice filled the room.

"Your Majesty." Annabel immediately stood up and Crown Prince Hanz immediately walked up to her, hugged her and boldly looked at Duke Damien.

"Annabel is also your daughter, Duke. You can't do this to her. How could you let him get beaten up by Ashlyn?"

The Duke stared displeasedly at Crown Prince Hanz and somehow he felt happy that this arrogant young man was not a candidate for Ashlyn and he was truly grateful that Ashlyn did not want him anymore. Although this young man got the title of Crown Prince and future King of this country, in the eyes of Duke Damien Crown Prince Hanz was not a person worthy of his daughter, Ashlyn.

"Why do you look so worried if you yourself have cast a protective spell on Annabel." Duke Damien said coldly to Crown Prince Hanz and stunned him.

Seeing the young man just shut up. "I've made a decision and outsiders have absolutely no right to interfere." Duke Damien said with great pressure, making the Crown Prince only able to swallow in anger, what does that mean to outsiders?

Duke then looked at Annabel and sighed. "You understand what you have to do when the time comes for Annabel."

Weakly Annabel nodded. "I understand, Father."

Crown Prince Hanz was about to voice his objections, but Annabel clasped her hands and shook her head, revealing a weak smile and said softly. "I'll be fine, I've put up another protector for me, I won't get hurt."

Hearing that, the Crown Prince was relieved and pleased, so the Duke only wanted to lie to Ashlyn, this was really interesting and did not mean that the Duke actually preferred Annabel over Ashlyn, Duke just wanted to lie to Ashlyn. The wicked girl does not deserve love from anyone.
