31: Arriving at the Palace
The birthday of the Queen was always met with fanfare. Dozens of carriages lined the entrance of the palace from the eve of the first day, all proceeding quietly into the palace after a routine security check. The palace had been prepared to accommodate all the nobles and foreign dignitaries coming to greet the Queen on the occasion of her birthday.
Sebastian refused to leave his sister’s side, knowing they would have to separate once they were inside the palace. She couldn’t remain with her parents for long so she let him hold on to him as long as he pleased.
“This year’s celebration would be a bit interesting. Since the Saintess candidate would be present this time, I’m sure everyone would be trying to recruit her to her side” Sebastian commented, caressing his sister’s hand.

The Duke's Unwanted Wife 32: The Difference Between Them
When Fredrich opened his eyes, the space beside him was empty. It was also cold like nobody had slept there at all. The early morning sun filtered through the open curtains and a bowl of water was already there for him to wash his face. It was already getting cold so he could more or less infer how long it has been there. He stretched, ringing the bell for a servant. When they came in, he still saw no signs of her and so before he knew it, he was asking the servants."The Grand Duchess is entertaining guests in the living room. Should we call her in?""Which guests?""My lord's vassals"Those were annoying guests that always gave him a headache every time they came to visit. They were always complaining about one thing or the other and he usually fought the urge to
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 33: A Little Interesting
Alana’s return to the royal palace was silent. There was no one to welcome her, as sad as it was. At least when she went to the Duke’s mansion, she was welcomed by the Duchess, no matter how reluctant the other party was. Sebastian wasted no time to send her off with the excuse that he was busy and it wasn’t like she could extend her stay. It was for a brief moment but she wondered if she could ask her father to propose an engagement between them. It was a ridiculous idea but if it could happen, she wouldn’t mind it.Since everyone was preparing for the Queen’s birthday, no one paid attention to the forgotten and unfavored third princess. But there was no reason to lament as she already had clothes and jewelries to wear for the event. In the past, she didn’t want a stake in society. Now, she wanted to carve a place for herself, not take the place of another woman.&
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 34: The Duke's Request
One could wonder. No matter how badly the duke treated Natalia, she remained patient. No matter how she was treated by people around her, abused, and used as a tool, she didn’t plan any revenge. The answer was quite simple actually. In her last life, she did plan her revenge. She had a lot of resources at her disposal and she used them properly.However, things went horribly wrong when she discovered that fate wasn’t even on her side. Everything she plotted against others worked to a certain extent but the backlash on her was heavy. She lost her family, her friends, and anything that remotely made her happy. There was nothing satisfying about revenge. It was mutual destruction at best because the very people she sought to destroy had extreme desires just as she did.In this life, she just wanted to die peacefully. It didn’t matter
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 35: The Banquet Hall
“Presenting his grace, The Grand Duke Kristen and His wife Grand Duchess Kristen” the chamberlain announced and almost the entire grand hall turned to the two walking in. Natalia had her arm in the crook of her husband’s and an elegant smile on her face as opposed to the ugly expression her brother had escorting the third princess in the hall earlier. Because of the sheer distaste radiating from the man beside her, she couldn’t find it in her to laugh.“Oh my, it’s their first public appearance, is it not?”“Lady Natalia is as beautiful as ever. She is the only one who truly suits his grace. They’re the most eye-catching couple here
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 36: Picking Sides
“Greetings to her highness of Berinda” “Hello. You must be Grand Duchess Kristen” “Indeed I am. This is my older brother, Sebastian Adamantine” Natalia pinched the side of her unwilling brother to make him greet the princess kindly. The princess observed them, amused by their antics. “Has your highness been enjoying your stay here in the capital?” “I haven’t had the chance to go out to the capital yet but I have been treated well in the palace. It really is befitting of the title of one of the two great powers in the continent” “If your highness still has time after the celebration…….” Sebastian’s eyes widened in hor
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 37: The Mistakes of the Past
“Fredrich, it has been quite a while. How are you faring?”“I am well, your majesty. Congratulations to your majesty on the occasion of your birthday” he bowed.“Thank you. Today’s not the gift giving ceremony yet so I’m curious as to what you will get me”“I’m sure you’ll be pleased, your majesty”“I can only believe one person when she says that. Did you ask your wife for help?” the queen chuckled.The answer to that question could only reveal the sour relationship between the couple. The queen was a kinder person than her husband, someone who protected the ones she liked. If she of all people found out that Natalia was being tre
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 38: Beautiful Wildflower
After dancing with the crown prince, Natalia found a way to escape from the banquet hall. She needed a place away from prying eyes so she made her way to one of the rooms for rest along the banquet hall. She dodged the few nobles that wanted to talk to her and blocked off the exit with magic.{The repulsion magic in this palace is very strong but it is weaker inside this room. How are you feeling, Natalia?}“Light headed. I haven’t had a drop of alcohol but I couldn’t stand for one more minute. If it’s a bother to call you here, you can leave, Madaline”{How can I lea
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 39: Endless Greed
“Oh my, you thought you were the only one?” Adelie chuckled.“W-W-What do you mean?”“At first, I didn’t notice that I had come back. It was when I went to search for the fairy mother and I couldn’t contract her that I realized that something was off. If nothing had interfered, then I would be able to contract her easily. It took me a while but once the memories started flooding in, it was the most joyous feeling. I remember now, what I was supposed to do”“What is that?”“Kill the Anchor”“The…..anchor?”“Please stop acting dumb. It’s annoying. You already know the reason
