The New Duchess
Chapter 45: Esme Chayton 2

The woman scrutinized Masy's appearance before answering him, looking at the old woman's unfriendly look when there were guests visiting.

“ who are you?” there was no answer but the woman replied with a question.

“ em, my Lady Halbert” replied Masy calmly, a few seconds later heard a step closer, it was Ai. Feeling his friend did not return Ai soon followed. Now Masy and the old woman stared at Ai's arrival. The old woman increasingly felt dislike for the presence of the 2 women.

“ good afternoon, Madam” greet Ai politely.

“ who are you, what are you doing here?” firmly the old woman, Ai and Masy looked at each other, they were at a loss as to what to answer. Whether you have to lie or not.

“ em, we want to see Sir Chayton” replied Ai calmly, the old woman looks shocked and looks at the two young women in front of her alternately. For a long time no one asked me the name of the family. Of course this is not ordinary.

Soon the woman closed the door in fear. It was fortunate that Ai moved quickly by holding the door with her feet.

“ madam, we have no evil intentions. Please let us meet with Sir Chayton” Ai to continue to persuade the woman to give her information. As it continued at the insistence of the old woman it finally opened the door again.

“ the Chayton family has moved to the village” the answer is brief.

“ you ready that family?” Masy asked.

“ is nobody” the woman is clearly hiding something. The atmosphere was completely unsupportive, Ai did not want to waste the opportunity. If not today it was likely that this old lady would definitely refuse his arrival in the future.

“ madam, I am Duchess Wellington, we are here just to know the death of the late Duchess. I really feel awkward” the lady's bead is patterning. This was his concern, someone from the Wellington residence returned. Without a second thought the woman immediately closed the door. But it failed when Masy presumptuously pushed the door and went inside.

“ what do you want?” the old woman looked so scared, she retreated angled against the wall.

“ calm madam, not even anyone who knows our departure, we are not bad people” Masy slowly approached the woman.

“ as I said before, I just want to know the truth of the cause of the death of the late Duchess, I just fear this will befall me one day” Ai is trying to attract the sympathy of madam, I'm just afraid, with a sad look Ai came closer to the old woman.

The woman looked confused, faced such a sudden situation and discussed the important thing she had been trying to hide these few years.

“ we can start by sitting there” point Ai on a long sofa that is in the next room. The madam calmed down, after making sure there were no guards outside. Started to believe a little with the words of Ai and Masy.

Now the three people are sitting on the sofa, from inside the house looks clean and well maintained. Very different from the outside. It almost looks like an empty house. Uninhabited and managed.

“ if you know, who are you?” Ai opened the conversation.

“ you don't need to know who I am, I tell you to immediately go away from that man, before you also experienced the same incident with the Duchess - Duchess before you” madam it still has not really accepted the existence of her guest.

“ he was the cause of death of all his wives. The man really had a big secret” madam was like he was berating, the look on his face was so underestimating Axton's position.

“ tell me what secret it” Ai getting curious.

“ hahaaha, no I still don't want to die with misery” replied madam who increasingly made Masy and Ai frown.

“ did all his wives die knowing that arahasia?” Masy chimed in

“ do not ask again, just follow my advice. Get out of that man's life, go home. There's nothing more I want to say the madam's” turned her face away, not wanting to speak any deeper.

Ai yanga felt this was more than enough not to want to force the old woman. Masy also thinks the same. Both finally stood up.

“ the Chayton family never moved. They're here, give my regards to them. I'll make a trial for the Duchess's death. Although Axton is my husband if he is guilty I will fight him” said Ai full of emphasis and calmness. Ai who was already standing now started to step out. Madam was jolted with Ai's words. Not expecting that fast Ai realized that in this residence there are still Chayton family. The heart is a little interested and believes that AI is a good person.

“ I hope your words are true” said the madam and walked in leaving her guest.

Slowly Ai and Masy closed the door of the residence. Walk out over the fence. As soon as he was about to board the train, Ai looked up to see the window of the residence. Clearly once the curtains moved, there was someone observing them from within. Ai was sure that it was the person she was looking for. But Ai had to act carefully and slowly. One day they will believe in him.

The journey home is faster than the departure. It was already very late afternoon and Ai had already cleaned herself up. Masy was seen taking care of some things in her father's study.

Ai sat on the edge of the bed, she was still thinking about the words of the madam earlier. What a secret does her husband have. Moreover, the secret was the cause of death of his wives.

‘ will I experience the same if I continue this plan? Is this why Axton told me to go to the village?’ ai's inner self keeps raging. It felt like his mind was so full of this matter of death. Ai involuntarily daydreamed if one day she still died on the same day as before.

“ Ai” realizes if anyone calls him after a slow touch hits his shoulder.

“ are you daydreaming?, let's think of the next plan” Masy feels sorry for her best friend. She tried to strengthen herself Ai, seeing her alone like this sometimes reminded Masy of the loneliness she had been feeling all along. He had no brothers and often lived his mother's father out of town. Meeting Ai seemed to have a brother.

Ai smiled faintly, her heart warmed to hear Masy's words that still supported her. Ai nodded thinly and took out the second file.

Unlike the Chayton family, Kyliee Blackton is a bit more popular. The Blackton nobility can easily be known of his kedama. They're not hiding like Chayton.

“ are you sure this is the place?” Masy asked as they stopped in front of the 2-story residence that looked a little grand, though yes, a little quiet. At least the front garden looks so well maintained.

Masy finds out if Lord Balckton is the owner of a cotton field, of course this makes this family easily searchable. They steadily entered the residence courtyard.
