The New Duchess
Chapter 36: Rumors

Tonight was the first time for Ai to sleep together with her husband, her heart did not stop beating fast. Ai was already lying in bed, while Axton was still busy in his study. He flipped his body, unable to sleep. It's so stressful.

“ The Prince, don't take Ai to the kingdom again” Hardwin's sentence at that time didn't really surprise her, it's like a broken cassette that keeps spinning incessantly. Axton stood beside a large window, looking out at the night sky, but was looking back at the past.

“ Sea, you never stop. This time it's out of bounds I won't stay silent” Axton mutter his hands clenched tightly. Heavy rain flushed Bavaria, even the rumbling sound of thunder as reflected the rumbling of anger that Axton felt. Axton intends to make a calculation with the members of the kingdom, this time he will not let it go.

Ceklek.the door of the room is open.

Ai further tightened her embrace on the soft roll, someone who had disturbed her mind had now entered. His steps are getting closer. Before long the room lights start to go out, making the room light becomes more dim. Ai lay back to the door. He's sure Axton must have thought he was asleep. The bed slightly swayed, signifying her husband to climb into the bed.

“ have you slept?” axton asked, Ai was silent lest Axton realize the act of pretending to sleep. There's no answer.

An arm wrapped around Ai's stomach, Axton carried the tiny body in his arms. Make his chest as the backrest of his beautiful woman. Ai was increasingly unable to regulate her breathing, her heart was so flowery. Not wanting to miss it Ai decided to flip her body.

“ you are not good at pretending” Axton who already knows the action of his wife is now a subtle insinuation.

“ oh yes?, do you know where?” is from Ai asked while returning her husband's embrace.

“ emm, someone who sleeps will not be jolted if touched” Axton replied. Dive into each other's depths of gaze.

“ once a shame” Ai hid her face in the chest of Axton field.not expecting her action caught red-handed.

“ is so adorable for me” hug it shrub tightly. Both of them enjoyed their time very comfortably. Since marriage this is the first time they can be this close and intimate. A sense of calm makes him feel anxious to approach the new couple.

***

Already about 3 days from the birthday party, Grace more and more sticky days. Now Axton turned into a romantic and understanding husband, although his possessive attitude is also increasing. Not even allowing Ai to attend any meetings like before. If you want to meet someone else, you should invite him to the residence. As of this moment, Ai had deliberately held Lady Masy and Lady Lansoria. Any guy's boyfriend can't relate anymore. That's the rule Axtona gave me.

“ you know for a long time I want to see the garden next to the residence of Duchess Wellington this” said Masy deliberately insinuated Ai.

“ where is your formal language from, you intend to insinuate me ?” they were at a side garden table, complete with tea and snacks.

“ hahaha where the figure of Ai yanga used to be so arrogant with her freedom” now it is Lasy's turn to tease Ai.

“ is gone, since the party Axton tightened on me” Ai pushed her aunt forward, showing a resentful impression to her two friends.

“ what party?” the two friends approached, wanting to hear the full story.

“ crown prince party, eem don't want to tell much. The point is that I got the problem” Ai can only slightly cover up the problems in her household, do not want ugly rumors blowing in her husband's life.

“ looks like Duke is jealous?” although these two friends are not married, but the knowledge related to romance is a little better than Ai. They are both quite famous.

“ her name is also newlywed” Masy does not want to stop teasing her new Duchess Wellington.

“ ih, it seems that the designation is less suitable for Duke” Lasy getting bolder with his jokes. Make the situation a little awkward by revealing the past.

“ emm, forgive me” said Lasy felt a little guilty.

“ ah, what's wrong with you. Don't be like that, I don't mind” said Ai melted the atmosphere.

“ em, past about what?” Mash a little pleasantries.

“ about his late wife. The two Duchess before me” whispered Ai making them silent for a moment. It is also a mystery throughout Bavaria, no one knows for sure, which developed in society more like the news of birds alone.

“ don't you just ask Duke?” lansy's advice.

“ where possible, I dare not ask” reject Ai raw, their relationship has just improved he does not want to make distance with Axton.

“ just try, give a little seduction” Masy started instigating her innocent friend. She was actually also curious about the Duchess's previous feats. So make her friendship with Ai.

“ yes, will not work. All I heard was they killed themselves” said Ai who was a little lost. Making both themes break the pattern, this new fact is likely closer to the truth.

“ bunu selves? We instead believe they were killed because ,” Masy stopped her saying, she did not dare to say the next sentence. Though both Lansy and Ai have been looking forward to the continuation.

“ because what??” said Ai annoyed. Makes her curiosity higher.

“ have you never heard of it? This residence looks so cold and gloomy” Masy slightly dribbled opinions so that he did not say the next sentence.

“ haunted, you mean both his wives were killed by ghosts?” Ai just heard that her residence has a spooky rumor. But all this time there were no strange events that he had seen.

“ have you ever felt their presence?” Lansy was slightly affected by Masy's remarks.

“ yes, according to some such news. Is true?” answer Masy.

“ of course not, there is nothing here other than the “ server Ai Sarkas said. How could there be such a rumor.

“ since the late Grand Duke became ill suddenly, many say this house has a black aura” Masy continues to continue the rumors that most Bavarian nobles believe.

“ are you sure?” Ai started to waver, she was a villager and only learned of this rumor. It's likely that this happened. Ai started to feel a strange air around her.

“ this is the reason some nobles do not want to attend my invitation” continued Ai who seemed to justify Masy's rumors.

“ you have to be careful” Lansy is getting anxious with her friend.

“ I should start to find out” Og Ai, he began to think what his resurrection had to do with the black aura that Masy was talking about.

The sky started at night, Ai was in Axton's study. His conversation this morning disturbed him a little. Ai began to feel an unreasonable fear of being in the room alone. Lately, Mily has been leaving him a lot, making him even more frightened.

“ tumben once you want to linger here” said Axton who was at the work table. Ai was on the sofa while distracting herself by reading a book.

“ em, just want” Ai feel this is not the right time to say all her fears.

“ already entered dinner, let's go down” Axton stand towards the door, Because Ai's sleeping position makes her a little behind. Ai immediately ran over and flanked Axton's arm tightly.

“ you why?” asked Axton who was a little surprised and felt strange about Ai's behavior since then.

“ hahaha, it's okay” replied Ai with a forced smile so that Axton did not suspect.
