The New Duchess
CHAPTER 55: PANIC
Tuanmuda Kleneir is ready in his carriage, this morning he will go to the Duke's residence. A few days ago
he got a message to see the Duke. He was busy in military training
yet he could not resist it, let alone his father as if forcing him to immediately
go home.
“ already up tuan” says
charioteer.
Hardwin tidied up his shirt
and get off the train. There was a feeling of longing in his heart at one
residence dwellers. The corner of his lips was attracted, as his manic caught someone
what he meant by looking busy in the side court. With long steps
Hardwin approached that person.
“ good morning “ greet
Hardwin who made Ai jerked in shock. Not because of what, he was currently preparing
some necessary items to deliver to Grace's place. Things can be said
secret.
“ Jeez Hardwin,”
finding the man she knew would make her husband angry made Ai panic.
“ what you did
here” Ai said quietly, immediately leaving Mily who was busy lifting
stuff into the car.
“a long time ago we didn't
met” Hardwin is still plain. He did not know of Ai's panic.
“ why are you here?” Ai
back asking, he took Hardwin to take him away from the court
habitation.
“ why are we here?”
Hardwin was confused by Ai's attitude as if he wanted to hide.
“I asked, why are you here? “ ask
Ai once again.
“ I have ,,”
“Where's Duchess ?” faint sound is heard
Axton's looking for him.
Ai's getting freaked out, don't
until her husband misunderstood.
“Listen Hardwin I don't think this is the time
aptly. You just go back”
“ I think you misunderstood, though,
I'm here because.”
“ what you guys do
there?” Axton is behind Ai. This certainly increases
panic
“ A,, Axton “ Ai turned her head and turned towards her husband.
“ you, enter” no
wanting his wife to stay close to Hardwin, Axton soon interceded. Without
waiting for Axton's reply immediately walked in. Ai looked at her friend questioningly.
“ Duke invited me
kemari” replied Hardwin lightly.
“ why don't you
saying from the beginning?” Ai was upset.
“ I've tried it”
Hardwin shrugged his shoulders then passed leaving Ai who was still upset.
why am I panic?inner f`
Ai who noticed his strange behavior. He soon followed the two men too
go inside.
“ what mr Kleiner
said something to you earlier?” Axton is in his office.
They sit facing.
“ dad just told me
to go home soon” replied Hardwin
“ how conditions
military there? “
“ is not much different from
others, I hear you're about to start a war?”
“not starting. However
war will break out once I'm there”
“ you can predict it?”
“this is not what I want
discuss with. But this” Axton gave a piece of mail to Hardwin.
“ why?” ask Hardwin
when you finish reading the letter. He saw the silent Duke staring at him.
“ you intend to stop?”
hardwin continued, Because Duke never answered him.
“ you'll know later,
do not let anyone know. “ Axton's short answer makes Hardwin frown
his forehead, of course this is not a trivial thing. The question is unanswered. The man ingi
asking even further but seeing Duke's serious face made Hardwin
“ get ready” Hardwin
getting off the couch, Duke ended the conversation.
“ lunch here”
take Ai with you when her husband and friends walk
down stairs.
“ young master Kleiner should
take care of something, don't you think? “ Axton first reply.
“ emm, yes. Forgive me
Duchess” Harwdin chimed in immediately. Obviously, Axton doesn't want to let other men around
with his wife.
“ well, what a pity.
All right I'll take you home” Ai walks near Hardwin. Second lovebirds
it went to the door, and there was Brian who had prepared the train.
“ see you again”
hardwin said then got on the train. After the train runs, Hardwin
pensively staring at the letter given by the Duke. He still did not understand why Duke
give this letter to him.
“ the train is gone,
enter” said Axton who saw Ai still standing in the doorway.
“ next time tell me that you
inviting her” Ai approaching her husband.
Heard a strange request
his wife made Axton suddenly heat up.
“ why? You
no business with the guy”
“ he's my friend, of course
I want to spend time with him”
“ just try if you dare”
Axton soon leaves Ai who turns out to be deliberately judging her husband. Saw
axton's annoyed look made Ai laugh with satisfaction.
Days keep changing, tomorrow is Duke's departure. The new ai
just got to the residence after visiting Grace. Although not much talk
with the woman but Ai felt that Grace's condition had recovered. I can just wait and hide there.
“ Axton where?” ask Ai
to one of the maids while climbing the 2nd floor.
“ Duke still not
back” replied the waiter. Ai just broke the rough breath. Since yesterday
Axton looks so busy, making Ai feel if something isn't
sorted out.
“ Mily you can
setting up dinner” day is getting dark, soon night is coming.
Ai's steps lead her into the husband's office. There's gotta be
the answer to his curiosity.
This time I thought of her husband
must have hidden those important files. Ai opened one by one lai in
table, he's not interested in the pile on the table. Her prisoner
stopped once he found a locked drawer.
“ looks like I need
a small wire” guman Ai. He also opened a lock without a key
but somehow this time he hesitated a little because he had never done it for a long time
any more.
“ I think this can” Ai
find a paperclip. He formed the wire into a straight, with
several times the drawer experiment was not open.
Klek. The sound it makes.
Ai smiled happily.
Slowly Ai opened the drawer, guessing it was right. There
just contain some files. Not very much. Ai took one at a time
file and read it carefully.
“ what is this?” Ai little bit
surprised by what he read. His brows furrowed even more when the last file he had read. Breath
hunting, angry mixed sad to know this. How can Axton not
say this to him.
“ mistress.” Mily
surprised Ai.
“ ah yes, is it ready
?” Ai became a little nervous and tried to distract Mily.
“ yes madam” reply Mily
not feeling the awkwardness.
“ well in a minute I will be down” Ai
hiding the file in his hand. After Mily went Ai tidying up
back the file did not forget to restore the locked position in the drawer. Just now
out of there the corner of the woman's eyes caught Axton's walking presence
climbing stairs.
