Luka Duchess
Proximity

Metteo entered the iron gate, walking down without raising his head or turning his head. His body felt tired, plus his heart. He thought, Sometimes he can't think of anything. His life was free without obstacles, if he could be a child, of course he would gladly welcome him.

"Duke!"

Metteo looked up, he smiled faintly at the woman who was sitting in his heart with another man, who was more strangely her husband.

"Look at your face, is Duke having a problem."

"Duchess, looks like the Duke is tired. Does the Duchess want to accompany her."

Duke Marcello and Metteo exclaimed. Both of them seemed to be doing a race and were waiting for victory and defeat.

"Here you go, I'll take Mr. Metteo first, and I'm the one who took Mr. Metteo for a walk, anyway" Duchess Natalie said.

Metteo dulled, free he was jealous. Once this truth is revealed, she's nobody to Duchess Natalie.

While Duke Marcello smiled with satisfaction, Duchess Natalie was still watching him, which meant their relationship was still fairly strong.

As with Duchess Natalie, she had deliberately heated Metteo, wanting to see how jealous the man was.

"Come on Mr. Metteo." Duchess Natalie turned the wheelchair, and the couple entered the Duke's residence.

Metteo stared at the nanar, he continued his footsteps.

A few days have passed.

Duchess Natalie and Duke Marcello or who pretended to be Metteo are getting closer. The two often spend time together and joke together. The original Metteo grimaced himself, as if it were an overlooked statue. Duchess Natalie always put her brother first, once she invited Duchess Natalie to come out together, but firmly refused her invitation. While along with her brother, Duchess Natalie unhesitatingly agreed.

Just like today, Duchess Natalie laughed out of enjoying tea and biscuits and various kinds of cakes in the morning without taking her. As if he no longer existed.

"The Duchess!"

"Duke Marcello, let's join us" Metteo smiled. As an older sister or husband of Duchess Natalie, of course she is grateful for creating this moment of togetherness.

Metteo or Duke Marcello sat down quickly, he also wanted to enjoy a cup of tea with his two brothers-in-law.

"Drink while it's warm" Duke Marcello said. "Duchess do you want anything? suppose a gift or something?"

Metteo and Duchess Natalie look at each other. "Yes, can. I will not refuse a gift from Metteo" Duchess Natalie said. His eyes did not turn away from Metteo's eyes or his current one as Duke Marcello.

"Ehem, of course, the Duchess will be happy to get a gift from her sister" he said.

Duchess Natalie nodded. "Yes, I really want a gift. That gift is my hope."

"Hope?" Metteo felt an unpleasant premonition.

"My hope is, I want Mr. Metteo to visit Duke's residence."

The two men were instantly dazed, both pale. It is a wish or a request that they cannot refuse or accept.

"But the Duchess...."

"What's wrong with Duke? we are brothers, what's wrong? I'm not wrong" said Duchess Natalie. "Didn't you love each other, I thought so."

"I'll be there."

Metteo's eyes rounded, he did not expect his brother to comply with the Duchess' request. Didn't her brother not want everything to be revealed. "Son't have to recover first."

"I have a suggestion, how about Mr. Metteo we take care of at the Duke's residence, after recovering, it's up to Mr. Metteo whether he still wants to stay at the Duke's residence or return here."

"I agree, I'll stay at the Duke's residence. After I recover I'll get out of there."

Metteo put his lips back together, he wanted to answer and subtly refuse, but it seemed, he had to speak directly to his brother.

On His Day Night.

"What does Big Brother mean by agreeing to the Duchess' request?" asked Metteo to hold back the anger. He did not want to be played by his brother. He tried to be with the Duchess because his heart wanted him.

"Didn't you like it? or do you like the Duchess?"

"I don't like the Duchess, but I'm afraid it's all unraveling and it's making it hard for us."

Metteo held something hot in his heart, not a fire that burned wood, but a fire that burned his heart. "Sister, all this time I've been trying, I tried to obey Brother's request, but please don't play my heart," Metteo said then waltzed away.
