LOGINIn the morning, Beatrice woke up to a peaceful and warm morning. She still can’t believe that she woke up feeling comfort in the place. In her past home, she always woke up scared and nervous, but whenever she woke up in the duke’s estate, she never felt that way since she arrived. As always, Katy helps her get ready; she always waits for Beatrice to wake up and greets her with a smile, as if she always enjoys serving her master. “The servants talked about you,” Katy said, smiling while helping Beatrice get ready for the day. Beatrice shifted in her seat. She anxiously looked at Katy in the mirror. “What did they talk about?” She asked nervously. “Nothing much, they just praised how nice you are to them and are glad that you became their Duchess,” Katy happily said. Beatrice instantly felt shy; she still couldn’t get used to the kindness that she was receiving in the mansion. She said thanks in her mind, like the servants would hear her say it. After getting ready, Beatrice exc
Beatrice bit her lower lip, feeling a sudden shyness. She looked down at her cup, tracing the rim with her finger while trying to gather her thoughts. The warmth of the tea had already begun to fade, yet she found herself clinging to the quiet moment like it was something precious.Arthur glanced at her, his gaze gentle but observant, noting every little movement she made. He wasn’t in a rush. He simply watched — content, perhaps, to let the silence settle between them like a soft blanket.Beatrice finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. “It’s strange… how kind everyone has been to me.”Arthur set his cup down, his expression unreadable. “Why is that strange?”Beatrice hesitated. “Because… I don’t deserve it.”Arthur’s brows furrowed ever so slightly. “And who told you that?”Her fingers stopped moving. “Everyone. My family.”The words were spoken so simply, so plainly, as if she were stating something obvious — like the sky being blue, or the snow falling in winter. And yet,
"My Lady, it is time for your dinner with the Grand Duke," Katy said softly. Beatrice who is still feeling tired forced herself to sit down on her bed. She smiled at the sight of Katy wearing her new uniform."It suits you," Beatrice softly said."Thank you, my lady," Katy smiled. "My Lady, It is Luna," Luna said after knocking. Beatrice nodded at Katy, Katy then opened the door and Luna went inside pushing a rack full of clothes. "What's this?" Beatrice asked shocked at the beautiful dresses in front of her."It is a present from the Grand Duke, My Lady," Luna squealed feeling happy at the sweet effort of her Lord."Oh my, these dresses are all trending in the capital!" Katy said excitedly. "Let's get you washed up my lady, for you to try them all!" Luna said excitedly.Beatrice didn't know how to respond to the kindness of the Grand Duke which is why she just nodded at every word Luna and Katy said. While Luna is helping Beatrice to take a bath, she is stunned to see the diffe
Duke Arthur and Beatrice Blanche who was sitting alone in the room were sitting quietly until it was filled with laughter of the Duke. "You are going to be the Grand Duchess of this Empire. You don't have to make a deal with me, do whatever you want!" Arthur shouted full of pride. "You don't even know me, what if I do something that can embarrass your name," Beatrice said shyly. Arthur thought the woman in front of him was very interesting. She was brave enough to make a deal with the Grand Duke while others fainted just standing in front of him but now he saw the lady being shy all of sudden. "You don't have anything to worry about" Duke Arthur firmly said. "Grand Duke, your wedding is about to start," Charles said on the other side of the door. "Well now, let's get married" Arthur offered his hand to Beatrice with a huge smile on his face showing all of his perfect teeth. Beatrice is nervous about what will become of her after she gets married and lives in another place she
The maids are busy preparing me for my wedding and it's been hours. I thought that getting ready for my debutante was long enough but this is longer. My butt is killing me. I have been sitting for hours and they haven't stopped doing things on my body. My mother then came into the room and sat on the chair across from me. "After you get married make sure you won't embarrass our name" My mother's cold voice gave shivers to my spine. "Yes Mother" I replied as if I was whispering to the wind. Erin then flicked her fingers and some lads came in while carrying my wedding dress.It was a long white wedding gown that was simple yet elegant. I was astonished at the sight of my wedding dress. At the very least, they spent a lot of money on my wedding dress. "You should be grateful, we spent a lot just for your wedding even though you're useless" "Yes Mother" I replied. My wedding is today but I feel nothing whenever I think about leaving this place. Since Katy will be coming with me to th
After the incident at the party, I was so embarrassed and scared of the duke regarding the time I laughed at him for being lost. We left the party and I am currently following him from behind, silently. "Hmm, I didn't think that the lady that laughed at me would be my soon-to-be bride." He said and I flinched at his words. He stopped walking and turned around to face me. Because of the fear that he would kill me, I immediately bowed down to him. "I-I'm very sorry for that, I didn't know that you were the duke" I replied nervously."Pfft, hahaha" I was shocked at what I heard so I tried raising my head to take a glance at him. Maybe I heard it wrong. When I raised my head to take a glance our eyes met and I instantly bowed my head again."You are amusing," He said while trying not to laugh. "Raise your head, I won't bite you," He said and when I looked at him. I saw that he was serious so I fixed my posture and looked at him properly.Arthur's POVThe lady that I saw near the pond a
