Lover While The Duke
#7 An Invitation (Rejected Letter)
Next day.
"Miss, you should wake up soon. There's a guest coming."
"Hmm Marta?"
Yanneta groaning. It's still morning and he still wants to sleep. Last night he stayed up late reading a book so today he wants to wake up during the day.
"Private servant Duke Soveil is in the living room."
"What?" Yanneta wakes up.
"He said bring a letter to you from Duke Soveil."
Yanneta's mouth is open.
"Tell him if I'm still not feeling well and send him back."
"But miss, you will be considered impolite. Expelling a high-ranking noble would be a bad rumor for you.
The fool with rumors thought Yanneta. He is not part of this world.
"I did not cast Martha out, I let her back. The reason is also obvious, I'm not feeling well."
"Miss.." Whine Marta.
Janet did not care about Marta and pulled back the blanket.
Martha could not do much. He came out of the room with a complicated face. He won stubbornly. Saying once is not forever is not. Persuading him will also be difficult and seem to ignore. When viewed from the point of view of Soveil.
Marta went to Fabian and then explained what Yanneta had said.
There was not much response from Fabian other than praying for Yanneta's recovery. After that, he immediately nodded.
Yanneta secretly sees Fabian's departure through her bedroom window. Gambang heart. What does Lionel mean to do this. Didn't he promise wholeheartedly that he wouldn't divulge his secret.
She's pissed. Feeling watched and confused. I want to scream "Just let go of me. I'm not important. Soon you will find your soulmate so please just focus on her."
What dreams did he have to get involved with the male lead. He was moved by pity. But if he is misunderstood like this, it can be troublesome.
Yanneta wants to live peacefully in a novel world she never imagined before. Sanbil secretly saw the main cast members getting involved with each other. It's beautiful isn't it.
Enjoy a luxurious life without work. Obtaining privileges as a noble. So delicious.
Yanneta closed the curtain violently. He again immersed himself in a soft blanket and padded mattress.

"illness?"
Fabian nodded. Four days ago the woman looked fine while bullying her. But suddenly it hurts.
"Maybe something happened during His Majesty's meeting with the Lady?"
Lionel tried to recall.
"I threatened him."
"Your Majesty!" Jerky Lionel.
"Maybe he knows about Hell's curse what I'm trying to threaten him with."
"Gosh my god." Fabian sighed in annoyance.
"If you're dealing with a knight that's a natural thing. If with a woman you can't be like that, Your Majesty. Women's feelings are very subtle."
"I don't care."
"Your Majesty, be a little gentle. Women can be scared."
"Fabees. He could have known about Hell's curse."
"If Lady Rainhart knew she wouldn't be quiet, she would have gone around the party and gossiped about you. There's no way you can be this calm right now." Fabian's voice was rising.
"You're as brave as that woman." Lionel doesn't want to lose.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I don't think before I act. Then I'll be fine."
Fabian's agony was accompanied by Lionel's annoyed gaze. He was just as upset. Don't know because. Either because the letter wasn't accepted or what Fabian said had a point.
If a woman had a light mouth, she couldn't possibly be this calm. It must have been a mess and this information could have been used to tighten it, blackmail it to use it.
In fact the woman simply returned Hell's dagger and said that she was afraid of being misunderstood.
"Argh! Shit!" Lionel kicked all the neatly stacked documents in front of him.
That day, Lionel locked himself in his study all night. Not out to eat. Nor call anyone in.
The servants waiting behind the door became anxious.
The only calm is Fabian. He took many long breaths. The employer is stubborn. Never felt guilty at all.
As dawn was about to break, the door of Duke Soveil's den opened. The waiters lined up held their breath.
"Fabian prepare the train. I've been pondering your words all night. So today I'm going to apologize directly to Lady Rainhart. So help me get ready."
Fabian bowed then followed Lionel's footsteps.

"I told you I don't want to be disturbed today." Yanneta answered with a lazy face.
He thought, it must be Fabian the personal servant Lionel. It seemed that Lionel had indeed intended to play tricks on him. In addition, he also watched and made sure Yanneta kept her mouth shut or not.
But that's not the way it is either. If anyone knew, there would be rumors and they would be suspicious.
"All right, I'll write you a reply." Answer Yanneta.
"Miss what if you open the door first."
"No."
Yanneta accidentally locked the door to her room. Anticipate if there is a disturbance.
"It wasn't the personal servant who came, but His Highness the Duke himself who came miss. He's waiting in the living room."
"What?"
Yanneta opened the door.
There was Marta with her disheveled appearance.
"Yes, the Duke is waiting for you miss."
"Why not say daritadi!" Yanneta's voice awaits.
"You locked the door."
"Marta didn't lie, did she? The guy came alone?"
Marta nodded.
"Well let's go see him."
Rather than being surprised, Yanneta was more inexhaustible. His head was throbbing at the thought of that person's attitude so far. What does he mean, what does he want. Didn't he already say not to meet in the future. He also kept his promise to remain silent.
"Haisss.." Yanneta in the Heart.
"But your lady has to change clothes first."
Yanneta's move stopped. She scanned his clothes for a moment. Sleeping clothes. He had just woken up and was planning to relax in the room.
"Can't I just wear this?"
To be honest, that was the most comfortable outfit for her. Clothes that are composed and two parts. Loose inner and outer silk dress. Compared to the official dress that must use a corset. It feels half dead.
"Of course not miss. You'll look undignified."
"Bodo is great!" Thought Yanneta.
But Marta has a point. Now she is Yanneta Rainhart, the daughter of Count. Although not very tall, he was still a noble. He has always maintained the honor of his family. If it is indifferent, it is considered not sublime.
"Armrggg!" Janet was at war with her mind.
"alright. Choose the most comfortable and simple dress."
"Well miss."
Yanneta's move changed course.
After a few menir finally Yanneta finished dressing up simply. Just a straight dress without a pale pink silk corset.
He remembered Marta's explanation if this was a casual dress in the room, whereas what she was wearing earlier was a nightgown. Yanneta was dizzy just by listening.
Yanneta steps slowly and surely down the stairs. As soon as he got to the floor his eyes swept over the guests.
The servants lined up in every corner of the room. Their faces were tense. It seemed like sharing the air with Duke Soveil was a terrible thing.
The duke sat down gracefully. His hand held the tea cup. He sipped it for a while then tasted it. Very nodding. He turned his back to the stairs so he did not know if Yanneta had come.
"Good morning, miss." Fabian came to his senses and greeted first.
Lionel turned his head then put down his cup.
It is a basis of manners if higher-ranking nobles do not have to stand up and welcome nobles in their lower strata.
Lionel is at the moment. It was John who had to greet Lionel. Dismiss and respect him.
"Good morning, Mr. Fabian." Yanneta's steps approached.
He took a seat on the right side then approached Lionel. At a safe distance and a fitting Yanneta bends.
"Greetings to the Second Little Sun of the Zagc Empire. I am Yanneta Rainhart greeting His Highness Duke Soveil."
The smooth wrinkle on Lionel's cheeks was lifted. Her lips formed a smile.
"Please sit Lady."
Although it was the house of Janneta, he was the one who was welcome to sit down. Such is the pyramidal hierarchy of nobility.
"As expected, Lady knows a lot about me."
Their gazes met and a grin appeared on Lionel's lips. Yanneta felt that this man had come not for good purposes.
Seriate...
FYI
Why was Lionel Soveil called the Second Little Sun because he was the only Duke-ranked noble in the Zagc Empire. His position was equivalent to that of a prince.
The current Emperor Zagc had two children, a son and a daughter.
If the emperor is called the Sun then the Crown Prince is the Little Sun. So Duke Soveil became the Second Little Sun, as he was right in the second order of succession.
