Kissing The Wind Chapter 58
There was a change in the atmosphere when Anthony joined the dinner celebration. The other nobles might not notice it but Sydnee felt it, specially when Anthony was giving her extra attention. She did not need him doing stuffs like picking up shrimps and meat and then put it on her plate. No, this attention would definitely invite trouble for her. She smiled at him when he put a piece of cake on her plate. "There's no need for that, Duke.""It's okay," Anthony said and ignored her silent protest. She could feel the fiery gaze of both Lady Geneva and Catarina. Ladies, she did not beg him to do that, okay?Until the end of the dinner, Anthony was showing her favor. The guests were all gone and apart from the four of them, Anthony was still inside the VIP room. "Uh, no need to do that," she immediately declined when she noticed that Anthony was going to get her a drink. It was when the Duke noticed the strange behavior of Anthony towards Sydnee. While in the dinner, he did notice th

Aleksander continued to pester Sydnee but he never once tried to visit the Duke's mansion. Some people speculated that Sydnee was hooking up with Aleksander, abolishing the norms of elite circle. She raised her brow when she first heard the rumors about her inside the University, and it did not take long for her to know that Aleksander was the useless bastard of Tamarin house. People often laughed at her saying that the two of them matched with each other, one was a bastard of Tamarin and the other was the bitc* of Mondragon.Sydnee's patience went out after hearing those new rumors. She decided to wait for Aleksander in the parking lot, that's why she was standing under the ginko tree not far away from the storage room. She was not sure where Aleksander's car was, but she learned from his friend that he was using a car. "Young Lady, do you need something?" the maid standing beside her asked. Sydnee shook her head and patiently waited for Aleksander. She already told the driver to

The ride towards the capital was peaceful. Catarina did not throw tantrums like she would usually do. Lady Geneva did try to pick on her. Sydnee was glad because of silence. She looked outside the window and watched as their car drove past other vehicles and establishments. It was her first time to visit the capital and she was nervous yet excited at the same time. The duke had asked her to do her best to appear humble and dignified in front of the officials. Of course she knew why. She would be the center of biggest power fractions in the capital and the duke had also warned her about the royals who would set eyes on her. When they arrived at the capital, Sydnee was left in awe while watching outside the window. The teritories like Consolacion and Obando were nothing like the capital. The place was full of buildings that were so high, one could like at the sky to spot the end of the buildings. There were also a lot of people wearing revealing shirts and there was no distinction bet

Aleksander led Sydnee in the corner where there was no one. Sydnee then pull away her hand from his hold. "What do you want?" she huffed. The man looked down on her and grinned again. What on earth did he want with her? Sydnee frowned. "It looks like the duke's favor is on you, huh?" he said. "So?""Be careful with the people around you. You never knew who is secretly watching you."Before Sydnee could utter a word, a man stood beside her. She was startled. She did not notice how the man got close to her. It was surprising because Sydnee was trained to notice every movement in her sorroundings under the duke's command, that's why there was no one who could get past her defense, and this is also the reason why Sydnee could counter attack Catarina in every petty tricks. "Sydnee," the man called. Her eyes widened when she recognized the voice. It was Anthony. Sydnee tipped her head back to look at him and her breathe hitched when their eyes met. Anthony smiled at her. "What are you

After the commotion in the terrace, although no one talked about it during the rest of the meeting ball, Sydnee knew that she was the center of gossip in the nobles' private chats. She could feel gazes from everyone thus she left the hall earlier. "You haven't enjoyed the party yet," Aleksander said while playing with the wine glass in his hand. Sydnee huffed and looked at the man. "Don't follow me. Go back and enjoy the party.""Ah, a pity. I couldn't enjoy it without you." Then he winked at her. Anthony, who was walking beside Sydnee frowned and looked at Aleksander who was on the other side of Sydnee. "Go back, Tamarin."Aleksander gaped, feigning shock while staring at Anthony. "You know me?" "Stop pestering Sydnee."Aleksander put his free hand on his chest and looked at Sydnee sadly. "My beloved Sydnee, I'll go back. The man beside you is dangerous and I couldn't win against him ---"Before Aleksander finished his words, Anthony took hold of his shoulder and threw him back

The copy of the video spread across the capital. The eldest miss of the Baronness who were active in spreading rumors about Sydnee paled when she checked the video that circulated overnight. It was her being tangled with the guard last year. Who recorded this video? The eldest miss immediately summoned her maids and talked with her mother. She and Baroness Jenica went into the third prince's manor to ask for help. Meanwhile, in the fifth's prince manor, the maid who picked up the memory card while buying something in the market yesterday was laughing with the other maids. They were maiden commoners who had not seen a naked man and they were fascinated with the 'good' body of the man in the video, They of course, did not know who was the two people doing it in that video, but they enjoyed watching it. It spread in the whole manor and outside of the manor. The fifth prince who were stationed in the border did not know about this thing.When the third prince's lackeys investigated the

The king sitting on his throne smiled at Sydnee. "Raise your head," he said. Sydnee raised her head while she maintained her gaze on the floor. She was taught not to meet the gaze of the king as a subject. "Your daughter is indeed a beauty.""Thank you, My King."Sydnee tried hard not to pursed her lips nor to look at the Duke who was standing beside her. She thought that the Duke did not let anyone know that he could talk, except for his confidante. But it turned out that the king knew that truth all this time.It was good that only the King and the eunuch by his side was present in the throne room excluding the two of them. At least the information that Duke Theodore could talk was still a secret. It was nice not to invite unneccessary trouble on the household. After some time, the king granted Sydnee a tutor for both etiquette and education. She lowered her head and thanked the king, although she was indignant with the tutor of etiquette. Did the king think that she still neede

"What did you say, Mom?" Catarina faced Lady Geneva and gaped her mouth in shock. "Did you just say that Dad would make this trash the heiress of the dukedom?!"Lady Geneva hushed Catarina. They were still inside the hall and the place was full of aristocrats and officials alike. It was the day that Duke Theodore would announce his heiress. The royals were also present. "Keep your voice down!" Lady Geneva sighed. "We can't stop your father in his decision. Let's just accept it dear, okay?" Lady Geneva coaxed and placed her hands in Catarina's shoulder."No!" Catarina broke away from the Lady's grasped. "I can't accept it! Mom, I was with Dad all these years! I studied how to become a good duchess, but... but that trash take my inheritance away!""Catarina!" Lady Geneva said and dragged the girl onto the corner where no one was around. "Just let this event go in peace. We can deal with Sydnee later, okay?"Looking into the resolute gaze of Lady Geneva, Catarina finally calmed down.
