Lilly Library Duke 소설 & 이야기

It was rare for the always well-behaved and reserved child to barge into the office without even saying hello. "Duke, would you like to dance with my sister Claire?" I wanted to do something for Claire. I was a little impulsive, but it was better than regretting doing nothing. The butler next to me quickly replied, "Miss Inette, the Duke is very busy at the moment. Please..." "Five minutes is enough, just one dance." Seeing how determined I was, the Duke sighed wearily, "She doesn't want to see me." "Did your sister say that herself?"

"Divorce won't be a quick process. The Duke won't be back anytime soon. We must be patient." Dorothy leaned in, her eyes gleaming. "Then let her enjoy her little kingdom for a while longer… and you, Vivi, use this chance. Get close to the Duke. Make him even more dependent on you." Vivian's smile turned predatory. "Exactly. I will stay glued to his side. I'll follow him to the battlefield if I have to. I will make him mine completely."

The Duke’s carriage stopped in front of a giant arch. Fredrich helped the princess descend the carriage and they both stared at the Beldania Memorial. It was a mass grave with a single mausoleum that housed the deceased former duke and the other nobles who died during the invasion. It was properly maintained since it was a historical site but it didn’t take away the fact that it was a graveyard.

It was useless as she would disappear in the background whenever she could. She usually spent some time with her friend, Lady Rebecca Davis who has recently married the Duke of Belikov and now was called Lady Rebecca Dragomir, the 8th Duchess of Belikov. She was high above her best friend's station now. Emily could hardly reach her as Becca would be busy attending this and that balls with her husband. Maybe I was destined to be alone, Emily mused before the traveling couch was stopping at the stop for St. Betown.

Lucy had told them that balls hosted at Carlisle Crest, home to the Duke of Carlisle, were never dull, and it was soon turning out to be shockingly true. From the moment they arrived, the music, the dance and wine opened up to them, and Aunt Marrily wasted no time in passing them over to whichever gentleman came to ask for a dance. By the time Beth had her first drink for the night, she had danced with six different bachelors and her feet were starting to hurt.

“What do you want to look for in the library, baby girl?” Lilly took the sandwich Declan made for her. She immediately ate it and smiled happily. She was satisfied with the yummy, soft feeling inside her mouth. "I want to read books about Elden Wood and its Realm, fairies, and everything related to my dream..." She answered honestly. She couldn't stop munching on the sandwich, making her mates smile and seeing how adorable she was. “Lilly Love, please be careful, swallow it first or you can choke...” Luca wiped her lips with his thumb.

Since Katherine had only recently been moved to Carlton High, she had not known many people and no one had given her any warning about William, famously known as Liam. Now that she looked back, they had met during the summer holiday and instantly clicked. She had not known of his history nor his title as an heir of an old dukedom. Curiosity got the better of her so she dared herself and asked again, “What other girls? What kind of warning?” “Oh, you poor girl, you do not know what you are getting yourself into, don't you?” Mandy laughed while shaking her head.

I think it's a good sign, I shouldn't be worrying about everything as they're so good at doing their job right. Everyone was greeting me whenever they would notice me. I feel guilty because I think that I'm disturbing them with their job so I've decided to go to the library. There are also some lycan maids in the library to keep all the books free from dust. One thing I noticed about Duke, he loves it when everything is clean and doesn't want to deal with any dirt, unless he has to. "Good morning!" I greeted the maids who even flinched in surprise after hearing me.

He replied before walking away leaving Charlotte stunned and unable to speak "The students are in the bunker," Mr duke strode in with a stoic gaze and a large sword held on his right arm. Sighting Liam his gaze darkened. Why didn't he leave with the other students? he thought. The stupid brat always had a thing for danger. Like a drug addict unable to keep away from drug. "Move!" He said to Liam who gulped down nervously "So scary, it's a miracle I'm still alive," He thought and resumed his steps towards the exit while Duke watched until he had disappeared before turning his gaze to Charlotte.

The office was mostly quiet so I could hear them laugh in there, doing whatever women do in a ladies room. A short time before six Lilly left the room and left a large bag by her desk. She was wearing a gorgeous dress, way too classy for some deli-boy. I could see the red on her lips from the lipstick she wore. Her long blonde hair, which usually is up in a tight hairdo, was loose and fell in soft waves down her back.
