The New Duchess

The New Duchess
Chapter 101: Hope


“ how to do again”


edward said frankly. The atmosphere began to melt. Edward's nervousness also began


gone.


The journey continues


and in the city of Tordor there a handsome man was holding back


his emotions went into his tent. Who else if not Hardwin.


He felt that Ai and Edward were planning something. Even Hardwin


thinking that Edward seemed to have a taste for Ai. No, it would not be Hardwin


let Ai be taken by another man.


The day starts at night


the train arrived at a remote and hidden area. From the outside


it looked like an abandoned building in the forest. But if a little


just approach the gate then the electric shock will be welcomed.


“ we have reached tuan”


Edward awakens Ai who unknowingly overslept on the way.


“ ah ya” Ai directly open


his eyes, he couldn't sleep last night at the thought of this meeting,


as a result he was so clenched and fell asleep on the way.


Not long for the sound of the gate


the open drew Ai's hearing, opening the train window to see the atmosphere.


“ don't”prevent Edward,


this area has special regulations. As if to make a mistake, Ai immediately


pulled his hand from the window of the train.


The train then walked


entering, they had already entered the inside of the building. Ai was feeling a little nervous, though,


he had no idea what place he was visiting.


“ let “ doors already


open and Edward walks out first. After that, Ai Yang


directly observe the circumstances around. There is nothing outside. This building


as if dead there were no sounds or signs of life.


“ you're sure here


the place?” Ai tried to dispel her doubts.


“ yes tuan” replied Edward.


He understood with Ai's question, he was alone when he first came


here too has the same question. This place is uninhabited.


As soon as the train got off


they just drove right away leaving them. Edward stepped up immediately


ahead of Ai, they headed for a wooden door that was right in front


they are only a few meters apart.


AI is coming soon, though,


Edward opened the door in the dark, no light.


“ carefully, pay attention


step you” Edward try remind. He doesn't want anything to happen with


The duchess.


“ what no torch or


something?” Ai could only step over little by little, she fumbled bangian


wall. If you look at this room like a hallway. Because only


has a width of not more than 2 meters.


“ no, indeed we will


walk in the dark until a few more meters” said Edward. That guy


although he was used to this situation he was also still cautious. He also


he noticed Ai behind him.


Until a while


then their vision caught the dim light of a light ahead.


As Ai had guessed they were indeed in a passageway.


Now their steps begin


quickly, because it is no longer necessary to feel and be careful in stepping.


Ai and Edward were already about to approach the exit, getting closer to the


illumination.


As soon as the door opens


there was already one who welcomed their arrival, a man with


dressed all in black, he with a flat face guided his two guests


walk through the path. From Ai's measurements it's likely they are now


already in the forest. The building was the entrance gate, the,


and it was true that the building was right on the edge of the dense forest.


Neither Ai nor Edrward


someone let out a voice, speechless while continuing to pay attention to the road. They


so focused on the lighting brought by someone in black clothes.


The journey feels good


long until they saw an entrance gate, the picture was the same


with the cottage belonging to his servant Ai first. In front of him using a wooden gate


“ we till” says


Edward. The man immediately opened the gate and the guide turned around


back to the road they have been on. His work is done for


delivering guests residence.


“ mari” Edward


disperse the attention of Ai who has since followed the departure of the road guide.


They're in, inside


the atmosphere was quiet, Ai walked towards a room that was at the most


fore.


“ please sit tuan”


Edward lets Ai sit down, while he goes out to meet someone.


Ai was left alone.


Long voice


slipping footsteps rang out, Ai confirmed her sitting position. She will


give a good impression so that someone wants to provide information


complete him.


“ you have come” Ai


look closely at someone who just spoke to him. Her taste


that face was familiar to him. Ai immediately stood up to welcome the arrival


that person, he was still in a state of remembering who the figure of the man that was in


ahead of him.


“ you mr Kleiner


no?” yeah, that somebody looks like Hardwin's dad. But it looks


more unkempt, his beard was so thick with a face that seemed tired.


“ you're right Duchess”


the man immediately shook Ai's hand and let the woman sit down


revert.


“ so all this time you


here? Hardwin never said anything” Ai can't hide the taste


bemused. He did not expect that the person he would meet was a person


capital too.


“ the boy doesn't know


anything, I also did not expect him to be at the border together with you”


Mr. Aidyn Kliener replied to Ai's question, the woman did not end up getting angry


at Hardwin, if only the man had hidden this, Ai obviously would not have


believing again.


Mr. Kleiner is already in


tell me if someone claiming to be the Duchess is coming with a man


named Hardwin. Knowing this information clearly he immediately allowed


Ai came to see him. But not with his son. The man needs to talk


four eyes on the Duchess first.


“ she has a letter Raja”


ai replied she said everything she knew, this woman did not know that


the man in front of him had also heard everything from Edward, who had not


Edward learns that the man he hated was a boy


which he's disinclined.


“ yes, Edward is already


say everything” jawan mr. Kleiner.


The mood then quieted


suddenly, faced with Mr. Kleiner Ai became confused as to what to ask.


This woman was worried about how this man before her could answer all


curiousity.


“ em, I don't know should


where to start. You may have been here even before the war


started?” Ai tried to compile her amulets.


“ yes, I am here indeed


following Duke”'s direction replied Mr. Kleiner.


“ about conditions in


borders, what do you know?” I have to make sure this guy


she can give information about her husband. If Mr. Kleiner were here


before the war broke out, it seemed to know where Axton was going to be


small-time.


“ I don't know


regardless,” Ai frowned, it turned out that her expectations were too high. The woman breathed a long breath, not


this is what he wants to hear. Edward seemed to be playing himself, Ai felt in the


lie.


“ but what happened


after the war broke out, I found out everything” continued Mr. Kleiner later. Almost


just dashed hope Ai, now he stared in the man before him.
