...~Love Me My Lord Duke~...
...~oOo0oOo~...
Carxen took one step forward while continuously leaning his body towards me.
His face slowly approached my face. I looked at him in confusion, my cheeks were hot looking at his face that was getting closer. There was no way I would suddenly push him back because there were so many pairs of eyes that were watching us right now.
"Uhmp---!!!"
Carxen's lips landed right on my slightly open lips. My pupils widened while looking into his eyes as he was inexhaustible with his actions. I could feel her soft lips sticking to mine, I could feel her warm breath on my skin. My heart is racing, I really don't know what else to do after this.
Carxen looked into my eyes, his gaze still the same as before. He didn't even look nervous or embarrassed. I wonder what he's thinking right now.
Carxen immediately withdrew from me. The kiss was not even up to 10 seconds. Obviously it's just a kiss of formality.
Even so, still what he did was outrageous. He took my first kiss, but why am I the only one who thumped and misbehaved like this. My face is still blushing, plus my ears are still hot.
The sound of applause suddenly sounded filling the entire room. I immediately put my eyes around the room. The audience was seen standing up while giving a lively applause with a happy smile.
"Congratulations on the marriage of the two of you, Mr. Duke and Duchess Callisto," said Martha who sat in the front seat accompanied by Vounch and Eleanor on her left and right.
I smiled broadly at Martha's words. I don't know why suddenly the atmosphere became changed, unlike at the beginning that felt awkward.
Now is the beginning of a new beginning in my life as Carxen's wife.
I stared at the ring on the ring finger of my right hand. Then I turned to look towards Carxen who was watching in the other direction.
Carxen flinched, he didn't say anything when I said that. He immediately turned his eyes in the other direction. I scratched my neck in embarrassment.
'After much thought, the age gap between me and Carxen was quite far, which was 4 years. I'm 18 while he's 22. It must have been hard for him to accept a wife who was too early. But isn't there anything worse than our age?'
Count and Countess Melfourd sit behind Martha's chair. Countess Melfourd, Elisa De La Melfourd, was a close friend of Martha, aged 19. Elisa married Count Melfourd, George Von Melfourd, who was 25 years old.
'Age is quite far away. It was fortunate that Count Melfourd was quite handsome. On the other hand, he also has a lot of money. Isn't money power the most important thing?'
"Ecchem..." Carxen cleared his throat slowly next to me. I immediately turned to her, looking at her curiously and questioningly.
'Hmm?... Now what's with him?'
"You can make other people misunderstand your gaze" Carxen concluded, he didn't take a single glance at me at all, and was still staring straight ahead.
'What was that just now?... Is he jealous? How could this cold-blooded man be jealous...? If he's jealous tomorrow the sun will rise from the west.'
Then---
Carxen held my hand as he walked out of the Mansion, I could see the other side of him trying to match his steps with my footsteps.
While outside the Vounch building and Eleanor hugged me tightly.
"Happy new life, son," said Eleanor, holding my face gently, her unchanging touch still warm.
"When you need us, just go home, you'll always be our daughter" said Vounch, holding my hand tightly.
I just put on a smile while looking at the two, I don't know what to say. My tears flowed before I opened my mouth to say goodbye.
