The New Duchess
Chapter 43: File

Early in the morning the Duke's residence was already looking busy. Ai started packing some clothes. This morning his aunt and uncle will be back with him. Although there were thousands of questions, Ai had to swallow all her feelings.

“ how is it ready?” axton asked as soon as he walked into a slightly messy room,

“ he’em, just you lift down” replied Ai briefly. He had a little trouble choosing his first clothes, so he was getting tired.

“ I'll call,,,”

“ just lift, no need to trouble others” cut Ai. Axton, of course, obeyed his wife.

“ I will prepare briefly” continued Ai so that Axton immediately down without waiting for him.

Moments after confirming that her husband was walking downstairs, Ai began to settle into Axton's study. He's looking for the dossier of the deaths of two of the late Duchess, possibly Axton would have kept it if it hadn't been given to the woman's family. Ai wished that the file was there.

Back and forth opened all the drawers and cabinets, opening one by one envelopes that look old, never fruitful. For too long Ai has been there, fearing Axton begins to suspect. Finally her manic saw something interesting in the closet, Ai picked up the envelope that was located at the bottom of the closet.

“ maybe this can be used” said Ai when finding Axton's wedding file there, there are two on behalf of Esme and Kyilee. Without much thought Ai immediately took the two files and hid them in her bag.

“ you were so long” complained Axton when he saw Ai's late arrival. Amber has been waiting by the train since.

“ sorry I was looking for a handkerchief earlier” Klah Ai did not want to arouse suspicion.

“ where uncle Allard?” I didn't see my uncle there.

“ your uncle will follow later, there is urgent business” replied Amber straightforwardly.

“ alright, it's time” continued Amber immediately entered the train.

Making Ai and Axton look at each other, the time of departure has come.

“ take care of yourself ya” Ai messages hugging her husband tightly.

‘ forgive me, from now on I will search everything myself’ Ai said inwardly.

“ you too, wait for me there” Axton replied no less sad, they hugged a little long.

‘ hope everything will end’ Inner Axton stroking his wife's back slowly. They then kissed briefly and Ai got into the car.

The train began to leave the residence, Ai and Axton's eyes were not cut off until the train turned out of the gate. In their hearts they keep their feelings. Feelings and desire not to hurt each other.

The journey went well, it was late afternoon when the car arrived at the delivery of a simple house. Houses that have white paint on almost all sides. The two women went down, while the coachman and one bodyguard helped to bring things down.

“ has been a long time “ shrieked Ai while staring at that house. Although not much time Ai spent there. But this is the only home where he gets the family's love.

“ you must be tired, let's rest inside” take Amber. After opening the door they entered. There was no one, no dozens of servants or guards. So simple, there will usually be one and a half day helper, to help Amber's daily life. And now it's closed because of the Baron's visit to the city.

“ ah yes aibi” Ai with spirit come in soon. Start cleaning some corners of the house, while Amber cooks in the kitchen. When they finished, they cleaned up and waited for dinner.

Tok tok Ai immediately hid the file.

“ yes, bibi” walk open door.

“ let's have dinner” take Amber, Ai instantly closes the door and follows her aunt to the dining table.

A look so simple and longed for. Tonight's menu is her favorite meal. Aunt Amber was so considerate of Ai.

“ wah aunty, this is what I miss, aunty's cooking looks so delicious” Ai immediately pulled the chair and sat on it.

“ is not possible, the food at the Duke residence is much more complete and delicious” Amber's tease.

“ there does look magnificent, but here is so meaningful, there is no match “ praise Ai, making Amber smile lightly.

Dinner was so warm. In that house there are only them. Dalbert, Amber's son, is on duty. Only tomorrow morning the housemaid will come.

Tonight Ai has devised a plan for how she can find out the secret behind the death of the late Duchess. Although a little risky but Ai has made up her mind.

Day 2 at the Bohmen residence, Allard's uncle arrives. Ai was getting more cautious in acting. The best way is to leave the house.

“ uncle, aunty looks like Ai will visit and stay a few days in Barack. Ai misses the atmosphere there” said Ai asked permission during breakfast.

Allard and Amber looked at each other, not knowing what to decide.

“ em, are you sure? your condition is now so different from the past” replied Allard reminded of the limitations to Ai.

“ for a moment, at least this is my farewell moment. In the past did not even have time to say goodbye to my friend there” Ai did not want to give up, today must be able to get out of the house. All this time Ai felt right if they were holding her back from coming out.

“ how else, let it be. Just a few days, right?” Amber felt a little pity hearing Ai's wish. Amber also thinks this will distract Ai from the city. Makes him forget about Duke for a moment.

“ yasudah, just a few days” Allard finally agreed to Ai's wishes, albeit with a heavy heart. If prevented fear Ai will be increasingly uncomfortable living here.

“ thanks uncle, aunt. Ai will start packing” Ai so excited, just leave the dining table soon.

“ breakfast you Ai!” shout Amber.

“ already full” reply Ai with a shout. Allard and Amber until the head bobble saw Ai's behavior that did not change much, still like before. Run and scream if you are in good heart condition.

After being ready with his equipment Ai pampit and immediately boarded the train, the trip was not too long. So before afternoon Ai had arrived at the barack where she lived first.

The atmosphere was still quiet, it was likely that the soldiers were having an exit task. Ai walked into the building where her room used to be. Special buildings that intertwine with offices.

“ Ai you back?” shouted one of his friends who is now the head of barack.

“ just a short vacation, take off the miss on my dear room” replied Ai. They had a short conversation and Ai went to her room. This was his father's barack, of course no one dared to fiddle with his precious room.  Ai just cleaned the room for a while, checking some furniture. Before finally the message train came, Ai immediately boarded it to go to someone's house.  His friend only thought that Ai was ready to go home, and only visited for a short while. Not even a little suspicious.
