Love me, Mr. Duke
Chapters 20.The Secrets Revealed

...~Love Me My Lord Duke~...

...~oOo0oOo~...

"Ivone, help me get ready, it's dinner time soon." I said as I got down from the bed and put on my footwear.

"Okay, ma'am" said Ivone who was quick to help me down.

Why did I not wake up for three days. This has never happened before. I only came to see Carxen the other day. As if reacting with Carxen's energy, the mark on my wrist rebelled. To make my body overwhelmed.

'Why only react to Carxen's energy? Is it because he's the target of the curse?'

"Madam, it's been almost 20 minutes you've soaked in warm water, Madam's skin has also been flushed," said Ivone who looked anxious to see me.

I immediately got out of the bathtub, and took the towel in Ivone's hand, "Do you know where Master Duke is?" I asked while wiping my neck.

"I just saw Mr. Duke come out of the residence today Madam. As long as the Madam lay feverish, Mr. Duke was always by the Madam's side. Master Duke will only come out of the Madam's room at a time when there is an important need."

'What's with Carxen's attitude? There's no way she's suddenly in love with me.'

After getting dressed, I immediately went down to the dining room.

I stared at the antique clock near the door, the time now shows 7 o'clock passing.

"Madam," call Ivone who's standing behind my chair.

"What's up, Ivone?" I was cutting bread with a knife on my plate.

"Is the Madam going outside tonight?"

I raised my fork, and devoured the meat-filled bread, "True. Why why?" I immediately turned to Ivone.

"But the Madam's condition has not fully recovered yet" Ivone's sergeant, his tone slightly raised.

I sighed softly, "I know..." I immediately turned my gaze forward, "But if I don't take advantage of this opportunity, there might not be a second chance in the future."

"Mrs! Are you okay?" ask Ivone while touching my shoulder. I turned to Ivone and held his hand that was still on my shoulder, "This time, please help, Ivone..."

What should I tell Kyle once I get there. What if he kicked me out? I have to explain something to him, though. I'm sure he'll understand.

As soon as I got to the theater stage. I immediately went to Kyle and told him what had really happened to me for three days. Kyle just fell silent listening to my explanation. He looks like he's breathing a long breath.

"I didn't blame Miss Viola from the start," Kyle smiled gently at me. "Looking at Miss looking for me and giving an explanation, I feel very appreciated. And that's more than enough." Kyle took my hand, then kissed it.

I flinched, and immediately pulled my hand from Kyle, "Master Kyle... Thou... You shouldn't have to do something like this." I try to avoid his eyes.

"ah! Sorry, I just-"

I immediately stood up and picked up my cane on the floor, "It seems like it's my turn to perform, "" I said as I stared at Kyle with condolences, "I'm sorry now Mr. Kyle." Then I turned around and sauntered away leaving Kyle.

'I don't understand why Kyle suddenly behaves like that. His attitude, even his gaze. It really confused me."

As I climbed the steps one by one, everyone watched me until my feet reached the stage floor. As soon as I got to the middle of the stage they cheered enthusiastically. The turbulent feeling within me that I could not express through words, this feeling that I always longed for.

I thought back to Kyle. If the first thing I met was Kyle and married him? What's gonna happen? Will I be free from this curse?

Stop Viellen, what are you thinking. Never regret the decision you made. It will only make you more depressed and hesitant when stepping forward.

I began to twist my wand as I tried to dismiss the thoughts that were seeping inside my head. I tried to turn my wand in rhythm with my movements and the music that sounded in my ear.

"Aah!"

I flinched as soon as I saw Carxen standing in the audience. His arms are crossed to the front of his chest. His ruby-like eyes were heading towards me. He did not even wear a face mask, as if he deliberately wanted to show his face to someone.

All over my body immediately felt goosebumps, my hand suddenly shook making the stick in my grasp fall down. The clinking sound of falling objects was inevitable, making the audience silent to notice my actions. I haven't had a chance to blink my eyes, in that instant I lost focus, destroying everything.

'Se-Since when did he stand there? Is it not-don't what I saw at that time also is...?'

"ah! Miss Stick Master you are so beautiful!" shouted one of the spectators.

I fumbled my face and quickly turned my gaze down the stage floor.
