Chapter: Cold WelcomeFiona had gone horse riding and was returning to the castle. She got down from the horse and let the horseman lead the horse back to stable. She had got to the front door, ready to enter when she saw the carriage. It pulled over at the tree before the castle. Fiona watched keenly to see who it was and had a frown when she saw it Rebecca. She was displeased to see her and didn’t conceal it. Rebecca got closer and hurried to the castle. She stopped when she saw the Princess.“What a pleasant surprise!” Fiona scoffed.“Where is His Majesty?” Rebecca asked eagerly.“I have no idea. And if I did, I wouldn’t tell you. So it’s best if you return to where you had come from. That hole will befitting for you than my castle.” Fiona said smugly.“I didn’t come for you. I just want to talk to George and I’ll leave.” Rebecca replied plainly.“You are indeed brainless. You have no respect for your king and have boldly addressed him by his name. How dare you?” Fiona said curtly, raising her hand.

Chapter: Introduction Of Lady CatherineThe ride to Rebecca’s house was partially smooth—the path which they had taken was rocky. Rebecca looked through the window and had her eyes at the birds that flew to their nest in a tree.“Your grace?” Zita called her attention.Rebecca diverted her eyes from the window to her. They sat opposite each other.“Does my dress look okay? I plan not to embarrass my mistress in front of her family.” She asked nervously.Rebecca couldn’t help her but chuckled. She found her words amusing. Zita misunderstood the laughter and felt shy that her assumptions were right.“It’s best if I stay in the carriage while you go in. My dress would only cause the others to mock me.” She expressed timidly.“I’m not laughing at your dress. You look gorgeous and there’s nothing wrong with it. Please, don’t misunderstand my laughter. Your words were funny.” Rebecca said jovially, sensing the sadness in her voice as well as her facial expression.“My position as the Duchess doesn’t mean I came from a rich family

Chapter: The Duchess And The PaintingsRebecca was folding some of Catherine’s clothes and put them in the wardrobe. She closed the wardrobe and let out a sigh. She walked the bed and sat down. She was dressed to leave. She picked up her shoes and put it on. She did the same to the other. She stood on her feet and picked her handbag. She walked towards to the dressing table.Rebecca kept her bag on the table and wore the gloves she had left there. She was putting on her hat—which had roses on it—when the door opened.“Your grace!”Zita had entered the room with Lady Catherine in her arms. She was crying. Rebecca turned round and looked at them. “She wouldn’t stop crying.” Zita said as she walked towards her.Rebecca collected her daughter and smiled at her. “Sh! It’s enough, Cathy.” She said softly, gently swinging her in her arms.“It seems like she is hungry.” Zita suspected, giving her mother a hint.“It hasn’t been an hour since she ate.” Rebecca said airily, trying to calm her daughter down. “You’ve forgotten the L

Chapter: The Duke Called It OffKing George ended his meeting with the governing council of the village. They left the stateroom in two’s until they had left the palace entirely. He was leaving the room with one of the guards behind him when he saw his sister at the door.Fiona scowled at him. She folded her arms and maintained eye contact with him. “Leave us!” The King said to the guard, without looking at him.The guard bowed and did as he was told. George watched him as he walked away and entered the room, which led outside the palace. He looked at his sister with his brow furrowed.“What is it?” He asked sternly. Fiona didn’t reply and entered the room. The King, already used to her tantrums, let out a sigh and followed her. He closed the door partially to its frame and stood behind her.“What is it, Fiona? Whom shall I send to the dungeon until you let me be?” He asked ironically, in a flat voice.“When are you going to send her back?” She answered curtly.“Who are you referring to?” He asked confusingly.

Chapter: His Resentment Towards The LadyThe sun had risen and was partially overshadowed by the clouds. The clouds were of two colours—grey and white—which indicated the chance of rain later that day. The winds blew less violently as it did days ago.Williams was in his room, seated on a stool and had a paintbrush in his hand. His room was wide, wider than the Duchess’ as well as the rest. There was a king-sized bed, which had plain blue bedsheets; there was a bedside table which had a lamp on it; the room was really arid as it had more windows than other’s and there were different paintings hung on the wall.Williams had an obsession for art when he was a child and had been blessed with a talent to visually present his ideas or thoughts through painting. A part of the room—close to the windows on the left side of room—was used an art room. His tools were properly arranged on the table and were in order. He moved the brush on the canvas in front of him and painted what he had in his mind. The painting was half done, almost

Chapter: Premature LabourWilliams had returned home and entered the room. He had entered the living room and saw Thomas pacing up and down the room. He furrowed his brow curiously, puzzled on what was going on.“Thomas?”Thomas flinched when he heard the Duke’s voice. He looked at him and saw the blank look the Duke had worn. He swallowed hard and suddenly began to sweat.“Duke Williams, you-you are back.” Thomas stuttered.“Yes. I had no plans to spend the night there.” He said coolly.The screams as well as the cry of the Rebecca could be heard downstairs. This regularity of those sounds got the Duke’s attention.“What was that?” He asked Thomas frigidly.“Um, um, that’s—.” Thomas replied nervously, scratching his head.The loud groan interrupted him. Williams recognized whose voice it was.“Would you just stop stammering and answer me clearly?” Williams asked icily,“Why is my wife screaming?”“I’m sorry, Your grace. You had given me instructions to watch over her but I was distracted and didn’t know when

Chapter: A Better Life"Your grace?"The knock on the door disrupted Rebecca's sleep. She blearily opened her eyes and sluggishly sat up. She covered her mouth as she yawned. She removed the duvet and stood on her feet. She walked towards the door. Rebecca pulled the door open and saw Zita."Zita, you-.""I'm sorry to wake you, Duchess but you've visitors. They are waiting for you in the living room." Zita said quickly, feeling edgy."Visitors?" Rebecca asked doubtfully.Zita replied in a nod. Rebecca looked away from the door and glanced at the cot. Catherine was still asleep."You..." She said as she faced Zita,"...look after the Lady while I go and meet the visitors.""Okay, Your grace. But whatever that happens, please don't leave." Zita said coaxingly.Rebecca became perplexed. She wanted to ask more questions but refrained from doing so. She left the room and climbed down the stairs. Halfway down, she saw everyone, asides the stewards and the maid, in the li

Chapter: Prove ItCrystal arranged the clean plates in the cabinet and closed it. She scanned the kitchen and was pleased with the way it was neat and tidy. Christian entered the kitchen through the back door and was stunned."Is it my kitchen or did I enter the wrong house?" He asked her, closing the door behind him."It is yours." She replied cheerily.Christian hummed as he walked towards her. He hugged her from behind and pecked her cheeks."That's thanks to you." He said sweetly.Crystal giggled. Her cheeks were slightly red."At last mon chou, I have to sadly let you leave today." He said playfully."I would've love to spend the night here but your aunt wants me to help with the cooking for the party. You will come, won't you?" She asked him as she broke the hug. She faced him."I will try but there is no guarantee I would. Let's-." The knock on the door interrupted his conversation."I guess someone is at the door." He said, looking at the door leading

Chapter: Whose Side Are You On?The carriage pulled over at the entrance of the castle. The horseman got down and opened it for Rebecca. Rebecca smiled at him faintly and got out while carrying Catherine. She glanced at the castle and then her daughter. She heaved and walked to the door.The guard at the entrance pulled it open for her. Rebecca, unused to such treatment, entered inside. She walked through the corridor and arrived at the throne room. She saw the maids standing on a queue. They curtsied in front of her."Was this really necessary?" She said inwardly."You decided to come." Rebecca turned to her side and saw Violet. Her facial expression wasn't welcoming and her tone sounded a bit harsh. Rebecca swallowed nervously and glanced at Catherine, who babbled as she tried to pull her mother's curly hair."Your Majesty." She acknowledged her and curtsied.Violet rolled her eyes and looked at her sternly."You can quit the good girl act. I have already learnt about your affair wit

Chapter: Leave Williams Violet pulled the door open and entered the room. She let out a sigh as she closed the door behind her. She walked towards the bed and sat down on it. She turned to her side and looked through the slightly opened window.The clouds moved towards the direction the wind blew, partially overshadowing the moon. She had her gaze at it and barely the door creak open. George saw her and smiled. He walked towards her. He glanced at the moon."It's bright tonight." He said plainly.Violet was startled when she heard him. "Your Majesty," She stammered."Did I startled you?" He asked her.Violet replied in a nod. George hummed and sat down beside her. He caressed her arm, slowly touching her face. He leant closer, kissing her neck."George, I'm not interested." She declined softly.George paused and furrowed his brow confusingly. He looked at her. Violet flashed a glance at him and looked away when their eyes met."This is the first time you've turned me do

Chapter: Your Choice Rebecca bit her lips nervously. Zita stood there, confused on what was going on. She glanced at the two-Rebecca and George-and waited for either one of them to shed light to what was said. "What do you mean daughter?" Rebecca stammered."The one you had. I still can't believe you would hide such a news from me." George said coldly."I clearly don't know what you are talking about." Rebecca denied, without making eye contact. "Don't play dumb, Becky. The truth is quite evident in this case." George said frigidly. "What's going on here?"George turned to his side when he recognized the voice. Fiona as well as her companion, Tracey, entered the living room. "Your Majesty," Fiona said airily, surprised to see her brother. She curtsied in front of him."Oh, Your Majesty! It's a pleasure to see you again." Tracey said happily."I don't feel the same." George said bluntly. He diverted his attention to Rebecca."If you keep stalling, I'll go and g

Chapter: My Daughter A carriage pulled over at Drill Hall and Roy got out. He adjusted his jacket and nodded at the man at the door. He walked in and was stunned by the decorations as well as the population in there. The hall was enormous and spacious. He walked further, scanning different nobles and royals he could identify."Mrs April was right. They do treat it as a festival. Just look at how many are in attendance. So many wealthy men." He said to himself as he continued walking,"Which of these men did Rebecca get involved with?"Roy stopped and thought about his plan."If I go to them one by one inquiring about that maid, they were will either think I'm crazy or I'm a bandit." Roy turned towards the door and caught a glimpse of someone. He gazed at the person as he walked through the door."Is that Duke Williams?" He said doubtfully.Williams entered the hall, being nonchalant about the event. He had a blank facial expression, making it difficult to tell if he was happ
