The New Duchess
Chapter 13: Shooting

One of the soldiers gave me a long shotgun. Ai quickly accepted it.

“ you can put your hands here, here.”

“ I know” the soldier looks surprised by Ai's skill. Obviously Ai was used to carrying a rifle properly. How not, since almost 9 years of living in barack items such as rifles, archery has been very often he played.

“ that's his target?” asked Ai who was focusing on the direction of the rifle.

“ yes” briefly answer the soldier. Ai was focusing, preparing to shoot.

All the soldiers there were so shocked to see the results. Perfectly, Ai hit the target very precisely. Some of them even applauded.

“ turns out this beautiful lady is good at shooting” one of the soldiers began to give praise to lure Ai.

“ choose someone among you who is good at shooting. I want to challenge him” the army group is becoming more and more crowded. Never before had a woman challenged them. The situation became a little chaotic to choose the right opponent for Ai.

In the hall there is also no less exciting, the meeting looks so serious. No one noticed the disappearance of one woman. Both Axton and Brian were busy with their respective tasks. Even Ai's empty chair was sat by Brian to research some important meeting files.  

It was late afternoon, when the meeting was over. Axton who was tired finally straight out of the hall. Walking towards the carriage unknowingly his wife's absence.

“ sir, we go straight home?” ask Brian who saw Axton directly into the train.

“ of course, it feels tired to argue with money-brained people like them”

“ what not to wait for the mistress?” instantly like a lightning strike Axton immediately remembered Ai who had disappeared. His head suddenly dizzy, it was hard to make Ai a submissive girl.

“ where did he go?” axton jolted why just realized it now.

“ s, I also do not know tuan” Brian instantly nervous.

Axton got off the train back into Barack. Looking for Ai started from the meeting hall earlier, the garden beside her and several other rooms. Brian was looking elsewhere.

“ master, “ shouted Brian who ran to meet Axton.

“ why are you shouting?” Axton who was upset never found his wife even heard Brian scream.

“ itu, sir. Looks like the Duchess is on the back court” replied the frightened Brian. Axton immediately walked quickly to the intended field.

There were soldiers gathered and cheered. Axton is now duty free. There is no training or mission. Because the military situation is still quite complicated even the meeting was indeed discussing this. So when looking at this collection makes Axton have a bad feeling about Ai. He wondered what was going on.

Not long after his curiosity was answered. From a distance Axton could see his wife holding a gun standing at one of the tables while from a distance there was a small bottle as a taget. Axton's angry emotions instantly overflowed. His blood boiled at how enthusiastic the soldier approached Ai, even helping his wife up the table in a disgusting fashion.

The soldiers who clearly recognized the owner of the voice immediately turned their heads and lined up to make a line. Duke Wellington is the owner of the barack military and the leader of the Bavarian military. No need to wait long all the soldiers lined up neatly, do not forget to look down embarrassed for the mistake of playing with a lady. One of the squad leaders wanted to answer but was confused how to say it.

Ai who saw the arrival of Axton with anger immediately threw a rifle. Intend to get off the table but all the soldiers are already lined up. No one helped him. Fortunately, Brian, who was aware of Ai's confusion, immediately helped him. Making his back as a footstool Ai before stepping on the ground. Brian did not dare to touch the Duchess the situation was so hot. Better to take care of yourself as well as possible.

“ thanks Brian” whispered Ai to Brian, after getting off Ai started walking quickly away from that field. Brian did not want to make a mistake twice so he followed Ai's steps.

“ Duchess where to go?” ask Brian who's a little behind.

“ dodging Axton, he was like going berserk to me” Brian held back his laughter when he heard Ai's reply. His mistress' words are perfect for portraying Axton's angry look.

“ better get into the train, we can not avoid now Duchess” Ai initially refused but then she had no other choice. At least not adding to Axton's anger was already a little help.

I don't know what Axton did with those soldiers, Brian himself wondered. They have been waiting for Axton for quite a while but have not appeared yet.

“ did Axton shoot those soldiers? Why so long?”

“ just might, uh there's no way Duchess “ Brian who heard Ai's question became worried. It is not impossible if such a thing happens, during his work with Axton during this time, Brian assess Axton a firm figure, there is no exception to the offense.  

Shortly after the cold was felt when the figure of Axton was seen walking closer to the train.

“ finish me, he came” Ai's human while getting into the train. She squeezed her dress and looked down in fear.

Brak, the sound of the closed carriage door. Of course it was Axton who was still in the scope of anger. The train started to run, Ai wondered why Axton didn't say anything. Ai decided to slightly steal a glance towards Axton.

Just a second Ai directly lowered her head back. Axton looked hard at himself. Very incisive.

‘ I hope this train will not reach quickly’ Inner Ai. He knew if Axton was holding back, wait until at the residence surely all kinds of anger will certainly be issued to Ai. Along the way Ai did not even change her position, she was completely frightened by just looking at Axton's sharp gaze.

The train stops, the door opens.

Axton came out, Ai was observing the situation. Axton was waiting for him outside. Intentionally, Ai remained silent in the car.

“ you sleeping? Quick out!” jolt Axton, who easily intimidated Ai. Although slowly finally Ai ventured out. Not even his legs hit the ground. Ai's hand was directly dragged into the residence. The servant who saw this was silent and gave his greetings.  Axton takes Ai into his room. Throw in and close the door hard.  

“ when are you like this? Enough without ethics? Why is it so hard to make you understand ?” Axton ruffled his waist to express all his anger. Even all those questions can not represent how angry and upset Axton was over Ai's attitude earlier.  

Ai squeezed her clothes back. He was confused as to what to say. Ai felt her actions were not so fatal. He was just playing around, enjoying the time while waiting for the meeting to end.

“ a, I'm sorry” of all the things that Ai wanted to say, she thought only this sentence matched. Axton began to weaken, this was the first time his wife apologized. Axton thinks he's too hard on his wife.

“ you banned me from shooting instead of shooting. Is that also wrong?” just now Axton lowered his anger, hearing Ai's sentence just re-raised Axton's emotions in an instant. Axton began to catch his breath, not knowing what to say.
