The New Duchess
Chapter 60: Opposite
“ looks like our business
indeed improved the last few years this” a safe answer from Mr. Halbert.
“ yesterday Masy said
if some of your horses also run away, how is it now?” saut Ai's.
The woman had no ill intentions on her two best friend's parents. Possibly
only these two couples have some information or are involved in the plan
with husband.
“ ah that, sometimes
having a farm like this is not as easy as it looks” is now the mistress's turn
Halbert who chimed in.
“ looks like madam
Halbert understands so much, is it possible to help develop the business?” Ai tried
fished. In this life a woman who has only business
for those who do not have a husband or relationship is not good. Business
is the world of a man a wife only takes care of the household and offspring.
Life still distinguishes women and men quite clearly. Especially politics, though,
there is no woman who openly participates in politics
statehood. It's taboo.
“ of course she's a woman who
always encouraging her husband, it is a form of her participation in
supporting this business” Mr. Halbert embraces his wife. Both of them seemed natural and covered nothing. But
not for Ai.
“ how about mistress
Halbert I invited tea in a few days, I think I need a little home lesson
from you” Ai started her impromptu plan.
“ course Duchess” fits
with Ai's guess. The woman in front of him would not refuse his invitation. Whosoever
would not dare to refuse an invitation from Duchess Wellington.
“ can't wait for”
Ai looks enthusiastic.
After talking
the auction event is about to start. Guests are directed towards the room
special auction. Ai who was talking earlier now started looking for a seat.
“ Duchess” shoulder
suddenly on someone's back. Ai looked straight at.
In another room there is
one is sitting and another is standing. They look serious
talk something.
“ I don't know for sure,
but it looks like they are preparing something” a standing man it is
bodyguard. He was reporting all the information he got.
“ we better wait”
answer the other. The guard then walked out of the room. From the door could be heard the sound of an auction
which will begin.
“ alright, first auction
is a headdress with stunning pearls.” The auction show host
started the initial event.
All the guests looked
pay attention to the headdress with shiny white pearl oramen. Except two
people. Of course Ai, on his stool he sat at the front and just accompanied
by Leyna. The Duke's private physician residence. Ai was thinking about her plan.
Must succeed, if not what he will do to be free
meet with his uncle.
“ Duchess what are you
interested in the decoration, it seems to fit your appearance” doctor
Leyna started the conversation.
“ we wait for goods
mainly just” replied Ai origin. The woman was not focused on the show.
“ ah yes, you are right.
Surely it's a pretty desirable item”Leyna smiled lightly and then came back
staring stage.
“ looks like I need
improving my appearance” Ai pampit go for a while. Must confirm something.
“ want to be accompanied by Duchess?”
Leyna offered herself.
“ no need” Ai out
from room. He walked following the passageway towards the banquet hall earlier. Him
looking someone.
Get in there
the one who was sought never met. Ai walked towards the stairs to
top might be able to make him meet that someone. But it's a pity
just finished boarding there was a male servant who walked away from him.
Ai slightly recognized that silhouette. I don't know because I'm too focused on someone
the one in front of him, Ai who tried to chase after the man was even restrained by
check someone's hand.
“ last” Ai direct
saying it.
“ Duchess Wellington,
long time no see” the man tried to kiss Ai's hand. The woman with
rough pulling his hand away.
“ crown prince,
how can I have the time to come to an event like this” Ai slightly stay away
from Sea's body. He should be on guard.
“ if it makes me
meet you there will definitely be a time” Sea just keep trying to seduce Ai. Woman
it's not in a state of contention. This hallway is so quiet, this situation
it'll hurt him.
“ I won't
interrupting your time. I per..” have not yet finished his speech, Sea
pulling Ai's arm towards somewhere. Ai panicked, she rebelled. Although sea
not accompanied by the bodyguard in fact the man still dared to act arbitrarily.
“ release me Sea, “ Ai
I can't say manners. Enough of his manners.
“ no, “Sea continues
pulling Ai towards a passageway she didn't know about. Feeling that things will get more
deteriorating Ai pulled out one of the iron she had prepared. Some kind of knife
but not sharp, just taper like a needle. With that one iron swing
it was thrust into the hands of Sea.
The check missed
along with the sound of the Sea's scream.
Not wanting to weed out the situation Ai immediately ran
move away to the stairs. He had to go back inside the auction room. Fuck those
with someone he was looking for. Plans to hurt yourself are now not
runs necessarily.
The pace is getting more and more
close, Sea did not give up and continued to chase Ai. His ambition is so strong. Supported
with suitable situation.
The stairs are already in
before his eyes, Ai quickened her pace. He looked back, Sea is near
with him.
Brughh, Ai hit.
somebody's.
“ Duchess” the guy
help Ai stand up. Just hit him he fell down the stairs.
“ prince Aric” Ai
recognize the man he hit. Stare at him for a moment and then look back
kea rah aisle. The sea that saw his sister was there was a little controlling
the action.
“ sister” Aric staring Sea
in complete confusion. The two people in front of him looked breathless like
ran over. What might be chasing after the Duchess is the crown prince. Greetings
Aric makes Sea wrong, his sister can not know the action.
“ we continue our conversation another time
Duchess” Sea stay away soon. Ai regulated her breathing. He was a little relieved by
the presence of Aric's piercing, Sea won't hurt him. At least now Ai should start keeping watch.
“ did anyone get hurt?”
Aric who saw Ai's slightly pitying state tried to invite her
speak.
“ not” Ai try
withdrawing, this man before him did not know whether it was better or worse
than brother. Ai did not want to tell the truth straight away. Although a little
limbung, Ai still continued his steps to go down the stairs.
“ let me help” Aric
trying to pick up Ai who seemed to have sprained her legs. The woman is clearly visible
shock and fear.
Ai continued to refuse
help Aric, his gaze is not focused. But when I saw the stairs Ai
getting a bad idea.
“ Duchess looks like a leg
you.” brugghh
“ Duchesss.
soon kemir” shouted Aric. It happened so fast. The woman who walks
limped in front of him, it suddenly collapsed and fell down the stairs. Although
not too high, but Aric believes the woman's body must have been injured.
“ Duchesss” Aric
it had reached the bottom of the stairs, patting Ai on the cheek. Ai's not conscious, not yet
again the woman's head was bleeding. It makes Aric panic.
A servant who knows
this immediately reported to his master. The auction event was suddenly shocked by
the Duchess fell from the stairs.
