Marianne pov contd. I know I was the one to flare her up. I should be happy that she had bad-mouthed Killian and now he knew her reality but all I felt was a surge of anger bubbling in my heart. I was so pissed and before I could stop myself and clam down my hand landed on her cheeks hard. A reverberating voice sounded in the whole garden and as if everything turned still. Everyone stood there holding their breaths. "Don't you.. I repeat.. Don't you ever dare to call my son a bastard. Do you even have…-

Marianne pov. "Your highness, are you feeling ill?" asked Lina with concern. "No, I am just feeling a bit stuffy and drowsy. It would be better if I sit in the open air for a while. Daulla, I have a job for you." "Yes, my lady" "Go to the orchid, there is a half bit apple there, i know it's difficult to find it in such a big orchid, but i want it." "My lady, I can always bring more fresh apples for you." she replied confused with my queer request but i shook my head. "I want only that apple, Daulla.…

Roselia pov. It was so easy for both husband and wife to boss me around. What did they even think was a mythical being or have supernatural powers? From stealing seals to fighting outlaws, what had I not done in these two months? Now I have to infiltrate a carriage and even impersonate Isabella's voice. I looked at the carriage for the last time and then at Cassius who was still trying to keep the knights busy. I ran towards the other end of the ground and found an empty part. Then I walked towards the…

Ian pov I knew that I was being careless. I didn't even know what I was trying to do. I should not have asked for duchess duties. And what did I even mean by controlling the staff. I really wanted to beat myself for speaking foolishly. I walked into the office with so many thoughts in my mind. I knew his highness was doubtful yet he did not ask a single question for which I was grateful. Or else I didn't even know how to answer it. "Lord Ian." "Yes, Sylvia" "Olivia is here again." when she told me…

Cassius pov I walked to the physician's room with hasty footsteps. I wanted to send her in the carriage before she got her consciousness. Though it was a risky plan, it could bring best results. Not only nobles would think that she was forced by her father, she would be proved crazy too. "Roselia, make sure that no one would see you in the carriage. They must think that you left after escorting her and she had ordered to go to the marquees palace by herself and then she had created a scene there.`` I…

Cassius pov contd. If I have ever known that feeding her, her own tea and food could be this beneficial I would have mixed it in her every intake. I added some more food to her plate and in her hazy state, she continued to eat it. Now I was only looking at the door and waiting for the official diplomats to enter. I have always felt that they were lazy and slow but for the first time, I was getting irritated. "Then why did you want to marry me, Isabella?" I asked as I saw the first official entering,…

Cassius pov I sat on the chair with a tired face. Last night I did not sleep a bit. I was busy getting rid of the make-up and then climbing the wall and jumping made me even more tired. Still I had to attend the meeting and give a reply to all the officials for their foolish questions. I was feeling so tired that all I wanted was to take a nap. "Your highness' 'I looked above to see Francis was standing there with a pale face. "What is it?" I asked annoyed, his face telling me that it was bad…

Marianne pov contd. "Marianne, I have always liked you. But I have always controlled my feelings since I knew that you were married and did not like me at all. I do not expect much, but would you give me a fair chance to win your heart?" he asked and I felt guilty again. "Oh my, lord Philip. You are a prince and I am a married or divorced lady, how could that be? `` I asked, shaking my head as if I could not believe what he said. "I do not believe in all these old dead statements and traditions. I just…

Marianne pov Finally I came back to the palace. But Killian and mother already had breakfast when I reached the dining table after taking a long bath. So I decided to have breakfast in the garden instead. I could see Killian was getting trained with James who was looking at me with a knowing look. I just ignored him as I kept encouraging Killian. "If you are so interested, why don't you come and join?" asked James and I shook my head. "My hand is still injured.'' I replied, he looked at my hand with…

Cassius pov I smiled the whole way until I reached the duke's palace. It was the best night of my life. Only I knew how I controlled myself and let her go easily. If only I could have more time. I wanted to have one more time before she goes. I just sighed at my luck. She was with me for a whole year yet nothing happened. And now that she is not here.. "Your highness, we are here" said the guard. Instead of walking to the main entrance we were standing in front of the back garden. I stood in front of…
