My Ex Mr Duke
Thick-faced

Duke Arland stood up. He'll take care of Alfred himself. "Dad's a sling."

"No need!" His cold voice shook everyone.

"You're sick, Alfred, I'll carry you."

"That hurts my hands, not my legs, so there's no need." Alfred looked at his mother. "Come, Mom."

Duke Arland did not stay silent, he immediately carried Alfred's body.

"Take me off!"

"Yell out, I don't care about your screams." Duke Arland stepped up, he did not care about Alfred who continued to rebel.

"Duke, put Alfred down."

Duke Arland ignored Violeta's request. He continued walking up the stairs, while Alfred grumbled, babbling at Duke Arland.

"Rest, if there's anything you need, you need to ask me" Duke Arland said as he laid Alfred's body on his bed.

"Have it, just let me." Typal Violeta wants to throw away Alfred's shoes.

Duke Arland stopped Violeta's hand. "Have let me go, the Duchess stayed silent and sat back down casually."

Duchess Violeta was increasingly unable to bear the treatment of Duke Arland, who simply told her to relax while her heart was very restless. "Stop Duke, you don't have to do it. I've been taking care of her for a long time, sick and glad only I know."

Duke Arland remained silent, and he continued to open Alfred's shoes. Let everyone scold him, he will do what he wants as long as he does not hurt Alfred and the others.

"Stop!"

"Alfred, if there's anything call me Dad."

Duke Arland saw Violeta's face. In the future, he must close his ears and eyes.

"Gram!!"

"He's really thick-faced."

Alfred remained silent, watching Duke Arland move away. There was a bad taste in his heart, I don't know, he didn't know that feeling.

"Dear, get some rest."

Alfred nodded and smiled.

Violeta stroked Alfred's head, then kissed him on the forehead. "I love you," he said. He confirmed Alfred's blanket and then passed away.

Arriving at the door, he saw Aleta standing with a worried face. "Mother how is sister, sorry I just found out from foster mother."

"Em, all right, Mom."

For a moment he was silent, he was confused to ask her or not.  He wanted to know, why the Duke's face was sad, he had asked, but the Duke only smiled.

"Mom, did something happen."

Violeta seemed to think, nothing but Alfred was injured. "No, baby."

"Oh, I'll be back later, ma'am."

Aleta runs, she searches for the whereabouts of Duke Arland.

Aleta opened the door of her room, looked around her and her eyes were fixed on the two people by the window. Duke Arland was facing the window while Aronz was facing towards him. "The Duke.. "

Duke Arland and Alfred twisted their bodies. "Aleta, what's wrong, dear? Did something happen to Alfred?"

Aleta shook her head, her face was very nervous. "Is there something going on today? Why is Duke's face sad?"

Like getting a raffle, Duke Arland understood. Slowly his daughter noticed him. And that will make Violeta slowly melt down. "Dad's fine." Duke Arland raised both his shoulders.

"Is Mom talking something or is sister?"

Duke Arland aligns his body with Aleta's. "Nothing, I'll get used to it. So no need to worry, pray for me baby, let your mother forgive me."

Aleta nodded enthusiastically, her heart desperately wanting it.

"Pinter's son, does Aleta want to play with dad and Aronz."

"Yes, Aleta wants to."

Duke Arland held Aleta in his left hand and his right hand held Aronz's.

They both enjoyed the snow in the front yard. Once in a while Duke Arland pinched Aleta's nose and then laughed together.

"Look at the Duchess, you saw her." The man who was none other than the teacher from Aleta and Alfred tried to make the Duchess understand. Now he understood after asking who the stranger was and it turned out that the past was driving them away. He was very sure, there was a misunderstanding between them that had to be resolved.

"Alfred was cold, but when he listened to 'me go home' Alfred turned his head. I listened to it too, which is what made me curious. Alfred was usually very focused. His mouth said no, but his heart."

"I can't, I'm afraid someone has harmed Alfred."

"Before Alfred and Aleta were hit by a knife, His Highness Duke was the first to be stabbed. She'll be the shield for both of them, not just them but your Duchess. I feel her love is huge for the Duchess. A person who is considered dead, will not believe just like that because his heart still has a name and he will still look for and feel confident in his love that is still alive."
