Seduce The Male Lead's
Chapter 12's
“Why do you insist on being like that?”
Tia pecked for a while, he still rubbed his blood that began to dry in the philtrum, his eyebrows furrowed. “I am indeed like this, nothing has changed,”
“People are gossiping about you, are you just going to be quiet?” Adeis folded his arms, staring with wonder at the woman in front of him today. He was a little upset about Tia's answer, “The adopted daughter of the notorious Baron Antrody and the climber, aren't you such a person?”
Tia tilted her smile, “It turns out it was yes, your first impression,”
“...”
Tok....
“Nona Duchess?”
Tia turned her head suddenly, found a servant who was opening the door slowly, “Nona your father arrived.”
“Dad?” mumble Tia. He stared at Adeis for a while, and went out without saying goodbye, followed by the waiter who had just given him news about his father coming to Willberia's residence.
While Adeis felt his head throbbing, he had not even had time to ask how the process of meeting Tia with the royal princess. Her head was constantly spinning about the people's conversation regarding the very famous Miss Duchess. Adeis glanced at the gift placed by Tia on the nightstand, slowly starting to be sure, her hand turned to open the box.
...***...
“Dad?”
“Tia... my daughter, how are you?”
Tia scrunched her forehead, seeing her foster father standing in the main lobby of the Aqashia palace. “What are you doing here?” Tia put Adeis' handkerchief in the pocket of her dress.
The baron smiled cheerfully, of course it was just a mask. The mask that covered his image, whereas all the servants and knights would gossip about him. “Father was informed by Rose, that the dance will be held for three more days. You know, if this father was a Baron,”
“Talking suddenly formal, I know for sure this will lead to what,” Inner Tia, she sighed in length. There was nobody there, just the two of them.
“Can Dad borrow your money? you know, you're now a Duchess thanks to me, if it wasn't for me, you'd forever be my slave there. I have absolutely no new clothes to attend the dance.... And also, your mother?”.
“Mother?” Tia squinted both of her eyes.
“So long he was sick, after your departure, we are a little short there,”
Tia chuckled, it felt like she wanted to scream loudly in front of the face of the person who had ruined her happiness. “She's not my mother, she's your wife. And you're the husband, you should be the husband, should work and don't gamble. Don't you know, I've known your rottenness all this time, you like to play women, even your gossip here --”
“Damn it!”
THE PLAQUE!
Tia felt her cheeks start to heat up, her head suddenly dizzy. It was hard to feel this kind of behavior over and over again, the trash family, even the servants who were secretly making strange rumors about him. Husband who still does not want to make full trust in him. His heart is pounding, if Adeis sees this incident, if Adeis can save him from this incident.
“Even an animal deserves to abuse you, you are just like your mother who was that whore!” Baron glared sharply at Tia, the woman could even see the veins at her temple.
“You'd better get out of here, take your son. Never disturb my life,” Tia said so, he rubbed his cheeks slowly which began to rub. His two eyes held back the cry, he could no longer contain it.
“I'm sorry to have a child like you. No, I'm even proud, if you're not my son, shit!” Baron held back his rampage, he began to turn his body, “You..
Since a few minutes ago, his heart had indeed been filled with a sense of mist. But, he was a little relieved, he could put out the words he wanted to say before that person.
...***...
Everyone was busy preparing for the dance in a moment, all the servants and even the ladies were busy arranging the curtains and dessert what to serve. Likewise with Tia, since her duties were activated as Duchess, she was very confused to choose an appetizer, and what dessert was suitable, and what color napkin should match the color of the palace hall curtains.
To be honest, it was exhausting, but Tia was grateful that her father had not visited her since. After all, Tia also did not want to send him money. But, Tia had not seen Rose's whereabouts lately either. But for sure, she just wanted to focus on her job during her time as Duchess.
“Serbetnya just change the color pink. I want to adjust it to the eye color of Mr. Adeis,” Tia told one of the maids.
“Good.”
Although there were still some servants who did not like him, but he was happy. Due to her status as Duchess, she was able to take control of the work and duties in the Aqashia palace.
“You don't rest?” Adeis who suddenly came surprised Tia who was busy reading a letter.
“A-you surprised me,” said Tia. His tongue was suddenly confused as to what to say.
“Do you know, your face is currently pale?” Adeis pulled her hair back. Tia was stunned with her good looks, today she wears a white shirt, combined with a black coat that covers her body. Today's weather is a little cold, after all Adeis often practices swords outside.
“Ah yes, really, I don't even know?”
“Ellin should help you, does she not exist?”
Tia smiled slightly, she knew Ellin would not want to work, why bother to work if there was a Duchess who handled it, it seemed like that was Ellin's mindset. “I can do it, maybe Ellin is busy accepting other jobs,”
“No, I mean..” Adeis quickly lifted Tia's body with a bridal style, making Tia almost aghast in shock. Seeing Adeis' treatment of her, Tia's cheeks suddenly flushed red as a tomato, her heart fluttering as Adeis' gaze stared right at her. Sontak Tia pressed her hands together on the man's neck.
The servants who saw the incident were whispering little, not knowing what they were talking about. But Tia doesn't care a little.
“Shut up for a while, I don't want to lift you when you pass out,” said Adeis kalem.
Tia chuckles, “Are you worried?”
“No,” Adeis slowly lifted Tia up to the second floor, and headed to her room. “I'll finish half your work. And I'll call you doctor,”
“Hah?”
“...”
There was silence for a while, until finally Adeis had reached Tia's room, and put the woman's body on her mattress. Until Adeis was about to leave, Tia grabbed his hand, and said something that made Adeis feel a little tickled.
“I have a request,”
“...?”
“I want your majesty, wear my gift brooch when in party.”
