My Ex Mr Duke
Duke's Decree

"Aronz."

"Dad!"

Aronz and Duke Arland embraced, letting go of each other's longing in his heart, groping heart to heart. "Aronz misses Dad."

Knight Lio gave a salute, his gaze as if saying there was something to talk about. He did not want to talk about everything in front of the Duchess and the others for fear of making them worry.

"You wait for me in the study."

"Good sir." Knight Lio obeyed the master's order. Before he met his master, he had a few bodyguards scour the Capital and search for the assassin.

"Aronz!" Duke Arland. "Dad misses too, hem."

"Did Aronz not want to hug Mom?"

Aronz looked up, he wanted to hug the Duchess, but he was afraid the Duchess would turn him down. What else is he the son of the man who has ruined his happiness.

Violeta spread out her hands, welcoming the tiny body in front of her to embrace her. There was doubt in Aronz's eyes, with that smile. Violeta was able to convince Aronz.

"The Duchess!"

"I'm your mother, son. Call me Mother."

Aronz sobbed, the circle came out without orders. He expressed his longing, pain and guilt through an embrace.

That warm hug, running through his body. Like an electric shock, he felt a comfort he never got.

The longing of the mother figure, made her weak. He thirsts for affection, every day he is always envious to see another boy spoiled by his mother and father. What's more seeing the Duchess who pampered Aleta and Alfred. Wanting once, he snatched away all of the Duchess' affection for them.

"Dear"

Duke Arland and Knight Lio smiled, noticing the two hugging, Aronz hugging the Duchess like he was hugging his own mother.

The Duke of Arland was lucky to have a wife as gentle as the Duchess. During her marriage, the Duchess never demanded anything. Gifts and everything, a woman as gentle as the Duchess is like soothing sea water. The more fascinated with his gentleness, the calmer and more unwilling to let go.

"Duchess, I'd like to talk to Knight Lio for a moment."

Violeta lifts Aronz's body, carrying him like a koala child. Both of Aronz's hands were coiled around Violeta's neck, her head leaning against her left shoulder.

"Vio, don't spoil Aronz too much" Duke Arland said. He is afraid of causing jealousy from Alfred and Aleta. He had not been close to Alfred and was afraid he could not get close to him.

"Aronz is still a child, don't tighten it up too much."

"But, Duchess... "

Aronz speaks a thousand languages, he feels his father has changed.

"Of course, I won't choose love. Aronz isn't his real son, but I love him. Love him very much."

Aronz smiled, but it was true what his father said. He was afraid of causing jealousy from Alfred and even making it difficult for his father to be close to Alfred.

"Mother, let Aronz come down."

"No dear, Alfred and Aleta must have understood. You love Mom, right. So follow your mother's request." Violeta kissed Alfred on the cheek.

"Mother," Aleta went down the stairs, she saw the many gifts in the room. "This is a gift from whom?"

"From Your Majesty to you,"

Huh

Aleta was surprised no matter what, did Emperor Fictor really give it."What is all this? sure enough, he thought my house was a convenience store," Aleta said.

"Hem.it's not good to talk like that. You just take Aleta. Your Majesty is good with you" said Violeta.

"Mom, it's like a proposal show. Cook yes, Sire proposed to me. When I grow up, I won't marry him. He already has many wives."

Violeta almost choked with her own saliva. Aleta thinks Emperor Fictor proposed to her. Everyone talks like that. It feels impossible and very unlikely.

While Duke Arland began to ride the apoplexy listening to the explanation of Knight Lio. Where Felica left Aronz alone and even to the city. He suspects that Felica already knows Violeta's arrival and is planning something bad.

"Give all the guards, I don't want Felica planning anything and tonight, I'm going to tell Aronz the truth. He must be ready to listen to all his mother's crimes. If Aronz doesn't accept the punishment I gave Felica, I'm forced to remove him from the Duke's residence" Duke Arland said. He was worried that Aronz would not accept the decision he made, given Felica's birth mother.
