Sleeping Beauty Wants The Throne
51. The Threat that Turns

Athene sat quietly as she crumpled her dress until shabby traces appeared. Shit, what's going on. The Grand Duke had not even said a word yet but why did he feel so depressed?

The room is so quiet. Feeling bored, Alastair finally opened his voice first, "What do you want to talk about, lady?"

Athene took a breath.

She can.

"Didn't I know your biggest secret? Then why did you choose to apply for Odyssey?!"

"Greatest secret?"

"Oh, you forgot?" Athene grinned widely. "That night, in the dark courtyard of the palace. Debutante show."

Alastair pinched his forehead. "You've misunderstood. I tried to explain it that night but you just left."

"You think I'll believe it?" Athene felt victorious. This time the Grand Duke would not be able to refute his wishes. "I saw it clearly, with my own eyes while you were together with the other man in the carriage."

"So, what do you think I am?"

"Not wrong anymore." Athene raised her cup then again displayed a satisfied expression. "You have a different orientation than most men."

Alastair wanted to laugh. "Lady de Cera .. Your attitude just made me disbelieve that you were the eldest daughter of Marquis Thompsville."

Athene glares. He almost spouted his drink. "What-what?!"

"Your assessment is in a hurry." In the end Alastair could not help his laughter due to Athene's stupidity. "Didn't you know who the man I was with was?"

"The places are dark enough that I can't see clearly" he replied hesitatingly.

"He's the Duke of Lancess. Coming to debutante with me with the intention to find a wife," Alastair replied with a condescending look. "I hope he gets a smart and smart woman. Not a woman who can only accuse others of untrue news. The accusations just now were so baseless."

Telak. The Grand Duke's words just now were very slapping.

"Then why are you guys in a dark place? For what other than trying to cover up a secret relationship?!"

"The other place is already full because we arrived late, after all do I have to explain everything in more detail? My chariot is much bigger than yours, Lady. It takes a big place to put it."

Athene turned deathly pale. Himself ... mis-measuring an opponent.

"After all, if I were right as you mentioned, I wouldn't be rash with a fondness in front of the palace courtyard. Thinking that I'm different? Ck, I didn't think your brain was so dirty. Get here, do you understand?"

Athene again looked down. With a squeaking voice he again said, "Pardon me."

"That's it. No need to extend."

Alastair stood up and walked towards the door. Before coming out, he turned his head back over his shoulder with a cold look.

"Speaking nonsense without evidence is a crime. This time I will let you, but next time, if you do something again I will not hesitate to discuss this matter in court regarding my defamation. Understood?"

Athene nodded quickly. "Okay, Your Grace. I'm sorry if the words just offended you so much. Next time, something like this won't happen again."

Unauthorized, Alastair just left the angry Athene instead of playing. His hands clenched, ready to spill the anger that was already at the tip of the horn.

Grand Duke bastard! It is possible that he will lick his tongue until it is reversed by one hundred and eighty degrees. He should be the one who is suppressed, he who will follow Athene's orders because his weakness is in the hands of the eldest de Cera. But now everything turned around, not in vain ended up Ahene who was harmed.

Athene hit her own head. It's his fault, don't swipe deeper before speaking. If he had known that today the Grand Duke would come to visit, perhaps he would have sought more information regarding the man.

Huh, watch out!

"Crystal Lady, how about this?"

Luz placed her hand under her chin in a thinking pose. "Em, less to the right, Travis. Try sliding a little."

Sean nodded. With all his might he pushed the hundreds-year-old giant ceramic jar slightly to the right. Rose who just finished cleaning the front yard seemed enthusiastic to encourage him. Today, Luz is decorating her beauty shop in such a way.

I don't know in what order.

"Because of its age, so this original urn is indeed very heavy," Luz explained in response to the curiosity clearly reflected in the sparkling Rose netra. "Then I asked Lord Travis for help. The woman's energy is nothing to move her."

"Who says women are not strong?" Rose answered him in a fiery manner. "I'm strong, Milady. Here and there, Lord Travis I will help!"

"Don't, Rose. Yeah, I know you're very strong." Luz smiled broadly. Compulsively. Do not let Rose expend her gorilla power or the jar is worth hundreds of thousands of pieces of gold it will be destroyed in vain. "You better check the mailbox in front. Today I haven't gotten any tabloid gossip."

"Good!"

After Rose left, Luz was able to let out a long sigh while stroking her chest. This time the jar is safe. But the culprit of Rose's troubles is always hanging around here. Whether tomorrow or when, Luz thought his urn wouldn't last long.

Perhaps he could ask Ochonner for help to move this precious urn to the mansion.

"Here is enough?"

Luz looked back at Sean who looked exhausted after sliding the urn carefully.

"Less to the left, Travis. The jar blocked the view from outside the window. Can you shift it a little?"

"Crystal Lady!"

"Why?"

"You want to kill me slowly?!"

"But, right, it's blocking the window." Luz wanted to bite Sean. But what power, the man is bigger than himself.

It should be Sean who is having a bad feeling like that.

"Huft, say 'enough' if you feel it's right."

There's no other choice. In order to please the store owner, Sean finally pushed the big object back to the left side. Although his mouth was constantly grumbling, but Sean was really sincerely made a messenger like this.

"Mady!"

Luz turned back to the door. There Rose with two sheets of paper in her hand looked so bright, the woman was expressing herself as if she had won the lottery among thousands of competitors.

"What's wrong?"

"There is important news written directly by Marquis Thompsville for you!"

Luz frowned, "News?"

"News that this morning Marquis Thompsville had received the Grand Duke's proposal in person. Congratulations, soon you will officially become the Grand Duchess!"

Luz sculpting. Sean was surprised. Forgetting the urn he had to move, along with Rose, Sean seemed to be dancing happily as if they were the ones getting married soon.

Grand Duke ... it turned out that the man was not messing with his words.
