Grand Duke It Was A Mistake Novels & Stories

"But if The Great Sun wishes to save the life of his prized subordinate, he must come here and deliver his apology to us.” The Grand Duke was not deterred in the slightest. Assassination attempts targeted at him were certainly nothing new. However, it was now time for the silver-haired man to make all the tables turn.

I didn't want that to happen. Suddenly, a voice behind us shouted, "Wait!" and I turned to look. The man running towards us was almost flawless, dressed in simple clothes, with a slightly flushed face, damp black hair, and captivating blue eyes. I was surprised to see the Grand Duke there. I felt embarrassed because of my simple clothes, but he didn't seem to be worried, as he was also wearing simple clothes and no insignia of his rank. "I apologize for approaching you like that, prin..." Before he could finish, I covered his mouth with my hand. We were both in shock, and I quickly pulled away.

The word 'ugly'. "Please stand up your Highness." The other noble ladies helped me to stand up and tried to check my body as clean as possible before Duke and Duchess Seleste entered. "What happened, why—your Highness?" The Duke lowered his voice when his eyes found me. "Your daughter did a very big mistake Duke Seleste," the lady beside me said. "What?" His eyebrows furrowed. This is what I mean when I'm talking about I love events with so many people since I know that between me and Madolina, they will purposely acknowledge my side.

The Duke and his group closed in, intensifying the tension. “What’s the issue here?” A chilling voice cut through the air, as the Grand Duke of Adelstein and his knights approached. Elen recognized the Grand Duke, rumored to have descended into madness after the tragic deaths of his wife and young princess. Rumors hinted at a connection between their family and dragons, their blood carrying a mysterious poison.

The Grand Duke groaned. "I apologize for the inconvenience, my Lord but I'm afraid it's not possible today," I replied sternly, narrowing my eyes at him. If he were a werewolf, he'd have been subdued by my aura but to humans, I just disrespected him. "How dare you? Did I just hear you say that while narrowing your eyes at me? Are you out of your goddamn mind?" Grand Duke asked angrily, clenching his fists tightly. "I'm sorry my Lord. You might choose to misinterpret my body language, but as for the order of the king, I'm only a helpless follower." I said, trying my possible best to conceal the anger that was welling inside of him.

When Calder returned to the Rook residence, the Rogers family surrounded him like desperate dogs, pleading for mercy. “Mr. Rook. Mr. Rook, I know I was wrong. The smuggling of prohibited goods happened because of our negligence. We were deceived by the shipper. We truly know we were wrong. We will never make such a mistake again. Please leave us a way to survive.” Kieran no longer cared about dignity. He begged bitterly, and the rest of the Rogers family begged with him. Gwenyth, the old madam, and the others in the Rook family also spoke up for them.

Father looked ready to explode again, pointing a finger at Vaeldric. "Because of the negligence of this arrogant general who has been worshipped far too much, I've lost my first grandchild—a child I've waited six years for." His voice dripped with bitterness. "What a remarkable achievement for Valerion's greatest general." It felt as though lightning had struck me. My body went rigid once more. I couldn't even protect my own child. Even though that child had been growing inside my own body.

The next second, the cat in his arms shrieked and pounced fiercely towards the roguish man, who was startled and got scratched by the cat. “Come back here,” the old man beckoned, and the cat obediently returned to his arms. He commanded, “Rattie, I hope you can clearly distinguish between the things that should and should not be said out loud. Though I have never been on good terms with the Windsor King, he is still my second brother. “He also happens to be the king of the Windsor imperial family. Is he someone you can insult as you please?” Feeling like all the hairs on his body were bristling, Rattie hurriedly answered, “Grand Duke, I made a mistake. I will never do it again.”

"Really trying. Therapy. Reading. Changing everything about himself. That's more than most wolves would do." "Then I hope he's worth it." Dante touched my hand briefly. "And Elara? For what it's worth, I think you're making a mistake. But it's your mistake to make." He left and I stood there holding his expensive courting gift, knowing I needed to return it. Needed to make it clear I wasn't accepting his suit. But first I needed to find Kai. Needed to tell him everything. The Summit. The Council threat. My mother's execution. The fact that I'd been an idiot to come here with Dante when I should have been home with him.

Yet she clutched it like it was the most precious thing in the world. "Josiah, look, this is the watch you loved so much back then. I've kept it all this time. I know I was wrong. I know it with every fiber of my being. Please, won't you give me one more chance? I'll spend the rest of my life making up for the mistakes I made in the past." Her voice cracked with sobs, her eyes brimming with desperate pleading. I looked at the familiar watch, but I felt nothing. That painful chapter of my life had long since been washed away, buried beneath years of quiet, steady happiness.
