The New Duchess
Chapter 98: Uncovered


The guards have already


preparing to pull the trigger, just waiting for one word from their superiors


with the man in uniform still locking their gazes waiting for each other.


“ me, Duchees Wellington”ucap


Ai finally. The man in the uniform was wrinkled. He never thought about the woman in front of him


have a status this high.


Soon the men


in uniform, he told both guards to lower their weapons through movement


her hands. He would be a little cautious if the status he heard was


the true identity of this woman.


“ Ai” Hardwin bit


disappointed with Ai's decision that seemed rash. He breathed a rough breath


because disappointment. It was clearly captured by the freshman man, that,


he started to believe that the woman was telling the truth.


“ what if you


lying?” men in uniform reveal a little of their diversity.


“ for what I am


lying” Ai remains in arrogant mode, she already intends it to be like this in order to


not easy to get hit.


“ what's your full name?”


back in question, Ai pulled the corner of her lips. Like this guy in uniform


I started to maintain attitude.


“ Ainsley, Lady Grafton”


those eyes widened hearing the answer from the woman before him clearly identity.


this has given the reason that this woman may be the Duchess.


The room was quiet


suddenly, both Hardwin and the bodyguard had already lowered their weapons. Ai and men


in uniform still looking at each other just that their gazes were not as sharp


preceding. The man assessed Ai's gesture from top to bottom.


Some rumors say


if Duchess Wellington is a big lady in Barack and has a big attitude


a little bit of a man. If combined with the woman in front of him


it feels so suitable. The man in uniform immediately misbehaved, he felt


a little too much with his guests.


“ what you can


allow my troops in?” don't want the silence to drag on eventually


Hardwin solved with question.


Male gaze


the uniform was finally cut off, now he looked at Hardwin. After a while


finally nodded and told his bodyguards to come out and give a message


to the gatekeeper. Ai and Hardwin sat back down, having been convinced that


their troops are safe.


“ I don't want people


others know my identity, so you should be able to keep this thing a” Ai already


starting to melt, this woman looks a little friendly.


“well, then there's a point


did the Duchess come here?” the man in the uniform believed and now


being respectful towards Ai, however, this woman was clearly on top of him.


“ I want to hear


duke's news, can you tell me what's going on at the border


all this time, sir?” said Ai clearly. Instantly the look on the man's face changed, Ai


I don't understand the meaning of that expression.


“ Edward, my deputy


chairman Edward” the concubine finally said his position in the squad


town. The man seemed to be silent for a moment while glancing at Hardwin. The question Ai


give it a clear very crucial. He wanted to answer but in the room there was


someone else. However, he could not carelessly explain this to


a stranger.


Look at Edward,


Ai understood the meaning of that glance.


“ you can dieyou


a moment Hardwin?” Ai looked at Hardwin flatly, while the man frowned


place, Ai gave a small nod as if to say that everything will be fine


just.


Now all the gazes


fixed on Hardwin, this man had no choice but to leave from


chamber. Both Edward and Ai had the same wish.


“ alright” replied Hardwin


forced. With a heavy heart, the man walked closer to the door


then out.


“ so how?” Ai


back to his answer.


“ as information which


the border has fallen. The Duke's army had already lost after the battle


a few days” Ai already knew this, she wanted another answer.


“ explain to me


how could Duke not exist when the shootout occurred?” Edward is getting made


amazed by the courage and insight Ai. how could he already know


this secret thing. This is strong evidence that it is true that women in


in front of her is Duchess Wellington.


“ em, I can't


give the answer to your question“ Edward has promised that he should


keep this secret. Ai frowned, she cultivated what the intent of


edward's Speech.


“ then who can


give me the answer to my question?” I need to be able to meet someone


who can give him an answer, maybe the city troop leader, or someone


others who have a higher status. Because Edward's answer is not it


he didn't know, he just wasn't allowed to say the answer.


“ I will level


you met him, but only you. The man still can't


knowing anything” replied Edward sure. This man was a little suspicious even judging


Hardwin had other intentions coming here.


“ why?” although Ai


it can hide this but it will be difficult if he has no friends


discussions.


“ she has king” letter


answer Edwad briefly. Ai understood even though she did not know what the meaning was


actually was. Finally he could only nod in response.


“ she's better


leaving town” said Edward later. Ai started to waver, how did she


convinced Hardwin to leave him. It doesn't feel possible.


“ I will


work it” replied Ai. he still prefers Axton, want whatever the risk.


The conversation was finally


finished, Hardwin looked at Ai as the woman walked out of the room. Himself would


ask for answers later when Edward is not around.


“ you can come with me


to take care of your troops” Edward spoke to Hardwin. Although a little worried,


Hardwin better manage his army first.


“ alright” replied Hardwin.


“ will soon be there


the waiter who accompanied you”, Edward told Ai. after identifying the identity


of course, Ai will be treated differently.


Without waiting


edward and Hardwin's consent left Ai. The woman sitting on the porch


soon a woman approached Ai.


“ I Susan, will serve


you here. Let me take to room” said the woman, from her appearance


like Susan is a village woman who is given the task of being able to sow


Ai.


“ alright” reply Ai friendly


then followed Susan to her room.
