Seduce The Male Lead's
Chapter 5's

Today at the Vellyruk mansion was very busy, the servants were preparing the guest rooms that would come in two days. It took me a week more to prepare for the hunting party. Of course Tia's bedroom was emptied first, and Tia was temporarily moved to Aqashia's palace. She would meet Adeis and Violet there.

Mansion Vellyruk in addition to being the residence of the Duchess, there have been prepared dozens of guest rooms, in case there are parties or large celebrations held in the Willberia region. The guest room was certainly cleaned by the servants there, so it was not dusty and kept clean.

In the original novel, which Tia remembers. Rose will still try to see Adeis from a distance, during a party or a big celebration that takes place. It could be, Rose will suddenly come at times like this, Tia just needs to prepare herself.

“Do you have friends?”

“Oh, in-here?” Tia was surprised when Violet questioned him.

Currently, Adeis, Violet, and Tia were having dinner in the dining room of the Aqashia palace. For some reason, Violet suddenly invites him to eat with Adeis. Though, Tia did not want to, and wanted to let the two of them alone, because maybe they were friends who cared for each other.

“No, I don't have any friends yet,” said Tia kalem.

“It is better that you often attend tea parties on Saturdays, the party is held at cafe Rilley, at the intersection of downtown Adelin. But, I can invite the noble ladies to have tea in the garden of Aqashia,” Violet smiled cheerfully.

“Alright, I am happy with your offer,” Tia joined in smiling innocently, she should keep acting in a place like this.

“Violet, you talk a lot yes,” Adeis says suddenly.

“Eyyy, you are this. We are already used to such a thing,”.

Tia glanced at Adeis slowly, the man was busy cutting the meat he was about to eat.

“Sister Fiona and your Cousin will come here, during the hunting party,” Violet speaks again. Tia really felt alienated between them.

Tia went back to listening to what they were talking about, about Adeis' sister. Adeis has an older sister, Fiona de Willberia. When their parents were murdered, Fiona was staying at the academy school. Fiona also goes to war when the Vantulla empire is at war with the kingdom of Termion when Fiona is eighteen. Fiona and Adeis are only two years apart, and after their parents are murdered, Fiona becomes the temporary head of the family. And succeeds in making Adeis the perfect Duke, although he still can not fill the emptiness of Adeis' heart. But the man loved his brother.

Meanwhile, the cousin Violet meant. Tia still doesn't know.

“I'm done eating.. I first,” Adeis standing from his seat.

Tia could only sigh in length when her husband was indeed acting that cold. That night, they spent their meal in small talk, Violet who always told him that she used to love Adeis, and Adeis would be angry with her. Tia could only nod her head when she heard Violet's rant.

After a few days of eating together, now the noble guests were busy crowded the hall of the Vellyruk mansion. The servants were busy greeting them at the gates of the Willberia residence. Tia herself could only watch the guests come and laugh with their respective partners.

Previously, Aria advised Tia to embroider a handkerchief, later the handkerchief she would give to Adeis. Tia thought, it seems like the man will not receive his handkerchief. After all, Tia could not embroider. But, as Aria continued to force her to make the handkerchief, Tia learned how to embroider for four days from Aria.

“Do you think he would accept it?” Aria stared at the handkerchief she was holding, she made two. That one handkerchief he would give to Rudell.

“I'm sure, mister Duke will accept it. After all you embroider quite well, your four days to learn to embroider are not in vain,” replied Aria who stood beside Tia.

Tia glanced at the handkerchief she was holding, she was embroidering the sunflowers there. That's the only pattern he can make. “I heard, Duke never received another person's handkerchief,”

“Iya, I also heard it from my friend. Duke doesn't like such a gift,”

“Then I want to give Rudell,” muttered Tia.

...***...

The atmosphere was very crowded in front of the Aqashia palace, Tia's heart was pounding all night knowing the hunting party would be done tomorrow. Tia wore a simple dress, on her own advice to Aria. Aria is currently not with Tia, as she has to be busy with her work in the kitchen. Until now, Tia had only been standing among the guests, no one had noticed that she was a Duchess. He had not seen Adeis' face since morning. When Tia saw Violet from a distance, who was sitting at one of the tables, Tia immediately went there.

“Halo, miss Violet,” said Tia after she reached the table.

Violet turned her head towards him, “Oh hello!”

The women who knew Violet were shocked by Tia's presence. They wonder who their new face is. “Know the ladies. She is Duchess Willberia, Mrs Tia,” Violet said casually.

“A--you guys don't need to call me mistress, call me by name only,” Tia clumsily heard it.

“Pft!” one of them held back a laugh, he hid his mouth using a fan. Did he make fun of Tia just because she didn't understand etiquette?

“Greetings Duchess, may the sun always bless you. I am Harnes Juliet, daughter of Marquess Juliet,”

Well, they are from high-level nobles.

“Sa - I am Attiya, call me Tia only,”

“Do you not have a clan, before marrying Mr Duke?” ask again from one of them.

Before Tia replied, Violet quickly cut it off, “Duchess from the Baron Antrody family. Maybe he does not want to mention his last name, because it could feel uncomfortable,”

“Hah?” inner Tia. A glance at Violet. “I do not have a clan, because I am an illegitimate child, does he not know?”

“Loh, from Baron?” they whisper to each other. Well, Tia is uncomfortable with something like this, it hurts.

“Iya... Violet is right,” replied Tia.

The sound of bells rang out several times, signaling the women should prepare to release their men to hunt. The place they usually hunt is the Aqashia forest, a forest famous for its magical animals, and rare animals are there. As Tia was busy staring at the crowd, the other people were busy staring at her while whispering, Violet and the other noble ladies glanced behind Tia.

“Adeis?” violet said, making Tia turn her head back.

Tia was surprised, but it was fortunate that she did not stagger from losing her balance. Adeis looked at her flatly, Tia did not understand why the man had come to her.

Adeis stretched out her hand in front of Tia, “You didn't give me a handkerchief?”

“Ha - huh?!” answer Tia.

“Why are you surprised, it is not natural that I ask for a handkerchief from a wife?”

Bla!

Bla!

Bla!

The atmosphere was really getting crowded, they were bewildered by the Duke's attitude of asking someone for handkerchief embroidery. Isn't it, Duke doesn't like receiving handkerchiefs from other people? in fact, Violet, who incidentally is his little friend was rejected.

“Adeis, instead of you always meno-” Violet felt the heat in her heart, but her words were cut.

“I'm exempt for my wife,”

“Why?” ask Violet again.

“...” Adeis glanced at Tia, she did not listen to Violet, “You brought her?”

“Oh... i --yes, I brought it for you, my husband!” Tia smiled broadly, she displayed her beautiful face in front of Adeis. Though he planned to give it to Rudell, but he did not expect that Adeis had asked for it first. And, Tia had only brought one handkerchief. Then, Tia kept the other one to give to Rudell the next day.

The noble ladies glanced at Violet who was a little annoyed at the behavior of the two of them. Although Violet is no longer Adeis' fiancee, Violet still likes Adeis. “No - Mona Violet, let's go see the men there, soon to begin,” said one of those sitting not far from Violet.

Violet turned her head, she instantly changed her facial expression, “Wah yes.. great, come on.”.

Adeis received a handkerchief from Tia, she saw the sunflower embroidery there, “Why not embroider the family coat of arms?”

“It was very difficult.. I only had three days to learn it, and sunflowers were the easiest,” Tia rambled at length, he said, Adeis was not irritating during their first meeting in the hallway of the Vellyruk mansion back then.

Adeis gave a small nod, she turned her body and left Tia. The handkerchief he held, he put it in his pocket. Tia was a little happy because the man was willing to accept her embroidery. As Tia gathers with the other noble ladies, they end up treating Tia with great respect, knowing that she is a Duchess.

“Hopefully my husband is safe, I don't expect him to kill a high-level monster, if he catches a tiger or a bear that's okay.”.

“True once,”

Tia listened to them carefully, Aria had already explained the rules of this hunting party to Tia before. In the Aqashia forest, there were tier three monsters, low level monsters, medium level monsters, and high level monsters. Rare monsters at high levels include Kromax, a type of black panther, but the size of his body is very large. In the body of Kromax, there are sacred artifacts that will be examined by scientists. Usually, men will dedicate their hunting results to their women. Well, Tia didn't expect Adeis to bring anything, if Adeis came home empty-handed it's okay.

As long as her husband can return home safely. Tia was happy too.
