The New Duchess
Chapter 2: Horse Riding

After breakfast, Axton went to his study. Grace keeps following Axton so she doesn't get close to Ainsley.  Ai who already knew what Grace was doing could only stay in the room.  Ai still felt very sleepy so now she was lying on the bed.

“ excuse me madam. I brought a snack” a waiter came in. Hearing Ai's voice instantly opened her eyes and looked at the waiter.

“ what's your name?”

“ Milly, madam” Ai is indeed pleasant as she asks. To avoid suspicion.

“ come here” Ai turns to sit, patting her empty bed. Milly felt disrespectful if she sat there, only being able to keep quiet.

“ sit there is something I want to ask. Don't worry.” Ai continues to insist on making Millly finally obey his mistress' orders.

“ have you fallen in love?” Milly was a little surprised by the question Ainsley asked. This is too personal. With hesitation Milly nodded.

“ good, I want to hear your opinion. So suppose when you are in love with your loved one you suddenly discover the fact that the person is impregnating another woman. You heartbroken chose to kill yourself, but somehow you came back to life and repeated the time. What are you going to do?” Ai explained in detail and slowly so that Milly understood. Unfortunately not, Milly could not understand his mistress' question which sounded absurd.

“ em, I do not understand madam” sparkling face Ai instantly turned desperate. But he didn't give up.

“ in short if you are given a chance to live again from a life that suffered before. What are you going to change?” Ai looks confused explaining it to milly. He has done his best to simplify his story.

“ emm, I might change the suffering so that I do not experience again” milly thought hard to answer Ai's question a little strange.

“ don't you want to go and find another life?” Ai continued to insist on finding justification to leave the Duke's residence.

“ even if you go looking for another life is not necessarily also spared from the same suffering. Better in the same life, so we can get ready to avoid suffering” Milly replied confidently. Hearing all that Ai becomes a dilemma, following Milly's advice or still planning to leave the residence.

“ why does the madam ask like that?” ask Milly.

“ is okay just being dreamy. Oh yes thank you for the snack. You can go” Ai lasung diverts the conversation so that Milly does not think things through.

“ oh yes mistress, if you have anything in need you can call me” by bringing the empty tray Milly out of room Ai

After Milly left Ainsley lay back, staring at the roof ceiling. Thinking of Milly's reasonable answer as well. If you go, you do not necessarily get a loyal man. Ai was slightly affected by Milly's speech.

“ huh dizzy be” Ai down the bed and walk to the balcony. Enjoying the morning breeze might make him think clearly.

From the 3rd floor of his room, he could see the surrounding situation that was so beautiful. The Duke's residence was quite spacious, to enter from the outer gate alone had to ride a horse carriage. The garden surrounding the residence is quite spacious. Until finally the corner of Ai's eyes caught a horse that was on a rope in the park. All of a sudden he misses riding like in barack. The idea to do it now. Ai immediately re-entered the room then changed her dress to a trouser suit and shirt. Actually when in barack used to be his daily clothes like this. I rarely wear a dress. But there are not only men there. His activities also demanded that he dress like a man.

“ lady will go where?” as soon as he went down the stairs Milly immediately asked. How not to look like her mistress looks so brave in her pants.

“ I will ride for a while, do not report to Duke” Ai immediately continue his steps before Milly had time to give an opinion. Ai who had memorized the intricacies of the residence easily went straight to the side door and found the horse he saw. Without a second thought, he immediately untied her. Take him for a short walk before boarding.

A cold wind instantly blew away her shagged hair. Ai was lucky to live in a place that had a large garden. It was his pleasure to drive the horse with a fluffy smile. It's been a long time since he's been riding a horse like he used to.

As the day wore on, Axton, who had been busy in the study, walked to meet Ainsley. He had an outside affair that required him to leave for a few days. Axton intends to tell Ainsley about his plan.

“ Ainsley,,” call Axton who did not find his wife in the room.he checked the bathroom but it was empty. Axton went to the balcony to check, maybe Ai went out.

“ where is he?” never found Ainsley, until something caught his sight. Far away he saw some horsemen racing. Axton does not realize that one of them is Ainsley, his own wife. Because it didn't find anyone Axton went down.

“ where's Duchess?” axton asked Milly who happened to be passing by.

“ emm it sir “ very soon if Milly is scared, this makes Axton suspicious.

“ is what?” Axton was curious about Milly's answer.

“ nyo, the lady was ready to ride” both hands Milly squeezed her dress. He was very afraid of the reaction his master would give.

“ horse riding? Don't-don't,,” Axton immediately went out, he was sure his wife must have joined the riding group that he saw earlier.

“ Brian give me kuda” he screamed as soon as he got to the side door. Brian who heard the angry tone of his master immediately brought a horse. No need to talk a lot Axton immediately boarded it and spurred it on at a fast rate. He did not think about his wife's behavior. It took him a while to get to that impromptu horse race event. He searched here and there not to find his wife. Suddenly we heard cheers from a distance. With his own eyes he saw Ainsley driving a horse as fast as it was followed by 2 men. His wife leads the race. His anger can no longer be contained. Axton got off the horse and stood right at the finish line. Axton wanted to stop the race that had already seen it finally. Some people looked tense to see the Duke there, let alone they saw Axton's terrible look of anger.

“ is just as much as your ability?” Ai who did not know the situation was still acting presumptuous, she continued to mock her co-star.

“ see how I beat y'all” Ai is still unaware of Axton's whereabouts, until at a fairly close distance he sees a male figure with a waistline trailing him at the finish line.

“ want to find dead that person?, oh my God Axton” horse that speeding was suddenly uncontrollable. Ainsley's a bit of a fuss over speed.

“ how is this?” The nervous Ainsley forgot to stop his horse. Once the distance was very close, without any cue he pulled the straps of the horse hard. The horse suddenly raised its front legs high. Ainsley who did not have immediate preparation just crashed Friday backward. Everyone screamed in shock at the incident, not least Axton. He didn't think it would be like this.

“ akhh” shouted Ainsley as soon as he knew he was going to fall.

Bums.

Ainsley hit the ground hard, his back and back of the head being victimized due to his position.

“ Ainsley” shouted Axton immediately ran up to his wife.2 men behind him stopped the horse and immediately went down to help Ainsley.

“ Ainsley, are you okay?” said Lord Hardwin, one of Ainsley's opponents who arrived first from Axton. He tried to lift Ainsley's upper body. But it failed, because Axton immediately took over.

“ Ainsley, “ Axton pat Ainsley cheek slowly. Ainsley's eyes were still closed he fainted from the impact. Without lingering, Axton immediately brought Ainsley to the residence. Everyone there was silent to see all this.
