The celebrant should walk down the stairs by themself as the mark of the beginning of the ceremony. However, this was not the case for the duke. He knew the rules too well yet he disregarded them like it was nothing. He nonchalantly went down the stairs as the child in his arms laid quietly on his shoulders.

"Please, Mother, tell me everything. I need to know." Her mother's gaze softened, an unspoken understanding passing between them. "Your father, in his attempt to secure the future of our business, entered into a contract with the Duke family. They have requested that you marry their son, the Duke of Cambridge." Ava's breath caught in her throat, the weight of the revelation settling heavily upon her shoulders.

"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.

We can even enter eternal slumber if we want to. "But that's not always the case.

Dairen, the daughter of the duke, Clyde Estreno D. Dairen. The unknown duchess.
