95 New friend (4) “Kate! Kate! Come quickly child, this is urgent.” “Mother, unless there is a fire there is no need for you to be yelling at this time of the day. Is that another letter giving condolence to my father? No offense but I have read plenty of them and they all say the same thing,” Kate approached her mother with folded arms. “If you would give me a chance to speak, you would find out we just received an invitation to a ball being held in the palace,” Katrina showed Kate…

94 New friend (3) “Stop it, the two of you. I am fine with changing right here. She has to measure me anyway. We should lock the door so no one can enter while I am not dressed. I’ll do it myself,” Alessandra added when neither Sally nor Erin moved from their spots. “I’ve gone from dealing with Edgar to this.” “Now that you’ve mentioned him, what is the Duke truly like? I’ve only seen him from afar. Is he the mean to everyone but sweet you kind of man? What made you fall for him…

93 New friend (2) “Watch your words in front of the Duchess or we will no longer require your services,” said Alfred. “What did you mean by your mother sending you instead of coming by herself?” Alessandra asked, not offended by her words like Alfred thought she would have been. “My mother wouldn’t have missed a chance to work for the Duke but when rumors were going around that it is you he married, she quickly changed her mind and sent me instead. She does not think the dresses I make…

92 New friend (1) “Fighting on church premises is not allowed,” Peter whispered loud enough for the two men to hear. He did not want the drama to shift to him. “Didn’t think I would ever have to explain that to a town guard and Duke. Take five steps back and then you’ll be off the church. You can fight there.” “No need,” Oliver released Edgar with a shove. “I have better things to do.” Edgar straightened out his shirt while he spoke, “If I were not in such a good mood, I…

91 Hole (3) “Make sure you put up all of the offerings well. We do not need to repeat it being stolen again and then we cannot buy food for those in need. All types of people visit the church and not all are coming to pray. Be careful,” Peter advised another priest. “Hopefully we get enough offerings to be able to help families when the winter comes.” “The woodsman said he would bring wood for us to throw into the furnace when winter comes. We’ll need to start collecting more in our free…

90 Hole (2) “Enlighten me, why were the two of you running around the table from one another? What did Edgar do?” Alfred asked the duo while they ate breakfast. He returned with the cream to quite an exciting sight. “Please remember that you are a Duke and Duchess.” “Are you telling me I can’t run after my wife in my own home?” “Edgar,” Alfred sighed. “Why did you need to run after her in the first place?” Edgar smiled, watching Alessandra avoiding his gaze when she looked…

89 Hole (1) “Are you satisfied now?” Asked Edmund. He sat on the opposite side of the carriage next to Heather while Priscilla sat with Jennifer. “Now you won’t be able to see him any time soon. What was the point of us returning to Lockwood when we can’t even visit our son?” “To save his reputation. I do not want anything concerning that girl to be attached to my son. I believe he’s only doing this to rebel against me. This marriage cannot be real. You said they weren’t wearing…

88 Marks (2) Alessandra was unable to register the fact Edgar had kissed where she had been marked by his mother. She wished to know what was going on in his head to kiss her shoulder. Did he feel guilty because it was his mother who had done it? Was he doing it solely to make her feel better? Having comfort her after being hurt felt strange. Even more strange that it came from Edgar when she did not anticipate having this kind of relationship with him. “Calm down, Alessandra. I can feel your…

87 Marks (1) “Jennifer had a lot to say on our way to the dining room and I need it to be addressed. Speak child,” Priscilla urged Jennifer. “Open your mouth and will lose your tongue,” Edgar picked up a knife from the table. He had been meaning to find a good punishment for Jennifer and now her presence was giving him all kinds of ideas. “Father, I am giving you until the count of three. One,” he began to count. “Priscilla we are leaving,” Edmund moved from where he was sitting to…

86 Respect is earned (3) “Whoever allowed you to take her will lose their hands. I hope you are okay with that, mother,” Edgar tapped his fingers on the table to suppress his anger. There was nonsense after nonsense at the time of day he liked to have peace. Priscilla neared the table not caring what would happen to the guard who freed the young maid. “To have the poor girl locked up-” “It was better than me getting rid of her hands for slapping my wife. I have no problem doing it right…
