Tia tapped her fingers on the table, the weather today was very supportive for her to think. Aria advises Tia to pay a visit to the church temple after the closing party is held. Tia's plan is to travel after Rose has also returned from her residence, and find an excuse to Adeis that she wants to take Rose home, and visit the Baron's house.
Lately there was nothing that made Tia piqued, Rose still had not shown her face after that day. “In the novel is he is sneaky, he is also a person who is painstaking in making plans.. I became restless when he has not shown his face at all,” Inner, while peeking at the base of his nose.
“What are you doing tonight? all preparations have been completed, do you want to go shopping?” Aria who saw Tia was dizzy then asked.
“Bby, but we should not be too long in the market, I have to meet Mr. Colin for etiquette class,” Tia stands from his seat.
“Alright, I will prepare your clothes,”
“Thank you.”
...***...
A few days earlier, Ellin heard the voice of someone speaking in a quite rough tone in the back garden. The woman kept biting the tip of her thumb. Ellin thought for a moment, before she wanted to go to the woman and rebuke her.
Until when his feet wanted to step up, his ears caught the conversation that made him a little happy.
“Tia shit, I'll kill you.. How dare you snatch the person I love!”
Ellin, with a sinister face, laughed a little.
“Is there anything you regret, Miss?”
...***...
“Aria?”
“Ya?”
“Do you think this is a little bit of a colot? I adjust the trend of today's dresses, I'm afraid if I wear a dress too fancy for tonight,” Tia sighed, her hands moved down the bottom of her dress, tidying up every fabric to make it look smooth.
Aria chuckles, “Even this dress recommended by herself by her designer, I'm sure it's fine,”
“Yah.. if Aria thinks so, I will try to be confident. By the way, what were the expressions of the people huh when I invited the princess to this event?” tia kalem.
“You have not announced to the guests that you invited the princess?”
Tia shook her head, “No. I just want to build a relationship of trust between them,”
Aria could only smile a little, after all she could not refute Tia's words that had any truth. For several years now, the Windsor family has never invited the royal family to a party, nor a kind of tea invitation just to talk about work and more. Only Tia can do it.
Tok...
“Nona duchess... The lord duke is already waiting for you,” the sound of knocking on the door makes the whole thing about a temporary silence, Tia answered him, and told Aria to prepare all things well today.
Also, it's her first day of debut as Duchess Willberia.
Tia opened the door of her room, walking slowly down each of the beautifully decorated corridors. Finally, he arrived at the connecting room between the halls. There, his eyes collided with Adeis. The man, wearing a black suit, was fitted with a Tia-given brooch worn in his pocket.
“Greetings, to his majesty,” Tia suddenly lowered her head, and bowed her body slightly. This is a tribute to her husband who will be her partner tonight.
“You..”.
“Ya?”
“What?” Tia was surprised, she did not suspect Adeis would say such a thing. “Do I have to cover it with a cape?”
“No need,” Adeis approached her, she grabbed Tia's hand and wrapped the woman's hand into hers. “Norman, give his announcement now,” Adeis gazes at a knight standing guard next to the curtain, who will open the arrival of the two of them.
Tia turned her head, her heart was instantly pounding, “This guy sometimes drives me crazy, but sometimes it also confuses me, his inner”.
“Mr duke Adeis de Willberia, and Miss duchess Attiya de Willberia, will enter the hall room soon,”
Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall room became excited, and waiting for a couple who had stirred up the struggles of the upper class. The notoriously cold Duke Adeis has finally given the proceeds to his beloved wife, and will be present at the closing party with her. Really an exaggerated compliment.
...***...
“Halo miss duchess, I'm Penelope Tuttiana, nice to meet you,”
“Ah, hello... glad to meet you too,”.
It had been an hour and more that Tia had to get acquainted with the guests, finally she was able to see them closely, because the time when Tia gave her handkerchief to Adeis, she was finally able to see them, was due to the time when Tia gave her handkerchief, Tia still did not dare to approach and speak to them.
“You want to dance?” suddenly Adeis whispered beside him.
“Duh... tickled,” murmured Tia, “I'm not good at dancing,”
“It's okay.. eventually the music is played now,”.
“Do not get angry if I step on your foot,”
Adeis just looked at her with a fairly flat face, while Tia was astonished to look at her. As soon as the music was played, Adeis held Tia's hand, and together bowed their bodies to each other, after which she began to wrap her hands around Tia's waist. “Are you glad I wore your gift brooch?”
“Ah, honestly I'm a little happy,” Tia is trying to shift her nervousness.
Adeis accompanied the dance well, when a golden glitter glittered between the ceilings, his eyes were fixed only on the woman. In fact, the music faintly rang out, whether it was just her feelings alone, that Tia was a little beautiful that day. People were staring at them dancing beautifully, it turned out that the duchess charm they knew was not as bad as people were talking about.
“I invite the princess to attend this event, please welcome her well,” suddenly Tia said so, making Adeis daydreams fall away instantly.
“Oh, yes,”
“Only that?”
“Yes, how else, I also can not stop you,” said Adeis, still dancing.
Tia was a little happy with Adeis' answer, she was finally satisfied with the results of her hard work so far, Tia was sure if she changed one thing in the story, things related to evil will never happen. And, the murder would never have existed either, just need to make future plans that he needed to change.
“Anu... mr. duke.. I have one request,”.
“What?” Adeis instantly raised one eyebrow.
“Please you grant this request, although the effect is a little silly,” Tia felt her stomach a little cramp when going to say that, her heart was pounding incoherently.
“...?”
“Let's have intercourse like a husband and wife in general.”
And at once, Tia accidentally stepped on Adeis' shoes, and made the man gasp a little because of his actions. Not to mention having to hear a sentence that looked a little taboo to him.
“Let's do that!”
