And with that, Duke Raziel let him go. He turned to Lady Vienna and motioned for her to follow.    Lady Vienna raised her eyebrows at him. “You’re really back, after a long time of leaving me alone without informing me.” She said, slight irritation lingering in her tone. “How are you?”   He ignored her sarcasm and instead said, “Tell me everything that happened while I was gone in detail.”    Lady Vienna shrugged, “But you said you heard everything he told me.”    Duke Raziel stopped walking and faced her, “I want to hear your thoughts.”    She smirked at that, “Haven’t you missed me?”   “I did. So much. But let’s talk about that later. I am filled with so much anger now that I don’t think I will have enough rational in me to control myself from burning this palace.”&nbs

It all happened suddenly. Lady Vienna was just sleeping peacefully when she felt a sharp metal grazing on the skin in her neck.    She woke up with the view of Duke Raziel pointing the sword at her.    “R-Raziel?” She stuttered.   But Duke Raziel wasn’t replying. It was like it wasn’t him. It felt like it’s not him.    Vienna, if I suddenly hurt you, please don’t hesitate to kill me.”    That’s what he said last time.    So did he expect this to happen? Is this part of his secrets too? But she couldn't do it.    She grabbed her sword from beside her table and pointed it at him too.    “Raziel, it’s me. Vienna.” She kept on saying, trying again for him to wake up from his senses.  &n

ROXY’S POV The delicate fragrance of the flowers seemed to tickle my nose and I inhaled the scent.    I had woken up early to perform my tasks. For today, I just have to go to the market and buy everything that the head maid had listed. From all the bread, goods, vegetables.    I had woke up early to perform my tasks.

She thought of an excuse for what to do. Raziel is surely angry through his mask showing.  She snorted at that. He was the one who kept on pushing her away earlier and when she. Disappeared for a few hours, he panicked like this.  What really does he want her to do? Quickly, she went back doors, carefully avoiding Raziel’s men who kept on shouting for her name. She quickly got in the window and brushed herself, acting like nothing was happening, and remained calm.  A gasp came from the hallways, and Roxy came running to her.  “Quiet!” Lady Vienna whispered, not wanting the men to find her.  

The duke just let her, and still focused on his work. “But it's only you who would dare to open this study. And my face is itchy. I’ll have to get to the guild to have it replaced by Fedel soon.”    She sighed. So he’s still busy. “Then what about our lunch?”    “Soon. I’ll finish all of this for once and I’ll spend some time with you.”   Her heart skipped a beat at that and nodded, “Then I’ll wait for you here.”    After a few minutes, Raziel stood a glance at him.    “What?” She asked, “Don’t mind me, I’m alright here.”   Raziel shook his head, “No, I can’t focus with you here
