Novel & Cerita The Duke's Family Is Not My Problem

the Duke answered melancholy. I couldn't believe my ears! The Duke was going to postpone the annual hunting event just because Stavros was unavailable! Is that a joke? Is this man that important? As Duke continued to ask questions about Stavros' hobbies, family and business, I realized that I knew nothing about the man who sat beside me and was my husband! Apart from the unpleasant acquaintance with his mother and sister I knew nothing else about him. I quickly excused myself and headed to the bathroom to splash some water on my face. I was not feeling well. I was actually drowning.

Because of this, they already gave the impression that servants are not permitted. It is a result of how sensitive people are to cries for aid. It's a pretty astute maneuver from the Duke, or maybe the Duchess planned it all out? Who knows, but I'm convinced of one thing: no one in this noble family's home is innocent, even though at some point their fortune has grown suspiciously huge. I maintain control over my breathing until I hear more from the man whom the Duchess is still torturing. The sound of the unknown weapon the Duchess used, however, which had previously caused my ears to bleed, was overshadowed by silence after that.

I want to charge on him and slice off his head. I can’t believe such man exist in this world. A man who only thinks how high he can climb even he needs to kill someone in order to get there. No, there is nothing I can do anymore but to face him now. Sooner or later we will still see each other anyways. After all, I’m from a powerful duke family. I have a big chance than the other noble family to come into the palace eventually. Now, Claire, focus. Don’t let your emotions overwhelm you.

"You're the one who always claims that I have stolen everything from you. Now that you know the truth, you can't just pretend that you don't know anything about this and turn your back on your responsibilities." "Listen, for anyone's sake this scandal is best kept secret and things better go the way they used to be. What would people think of your mother, and our father, if they know about this? Our family will forever become an object of derision. Besides, I never want to be a bloody duke. I don't need all the privileges that comes with it. Hell may freeze over but I won't take the title and the estate, and there's nothing you can do about it."

I’m grinding my teeth at this point trying to keep my composure as someone listening with rapt innocent attention to a philosophical debate amongst my friends, but it’s getting harder by the second. “Nah. None of it; Miriam, the Brotherhood, should be taken seriously. They are a joke as far as my parents are concerned. They are more worried about what Duke Henri is going to do next to get the throne. They feel like either Caspian should step down, or strip his uncle of titles and ban his family. There is no inbetween." Another female noble says, waving her hands.

the Duke continued, his voice softening, “are far too quick to dismiss people. This Adrian fellow… there’s something about him. A certain… spark. Perhaps he’s not everything he seems.” “Oh, he’s definitely not everything he seems,” I grumbled, “but that’t mean he’s the best choice for Annalisa. They’re both… well, bad choices!” “So you’ve finally reached that conclusion, have you?” the Duke chuckled, a hint of triumph in his voice. “Good. Because let me tell you, Anne, you wouldn’t want the responsibility of the Dukedom on your shoulders. It’s a far heavier burden than you think.” I glared at him.

“You would ruin your own family name to take revenge on me? Tarrick Hall, the Duchy would be ruined?” “If you don’t produce an heir I have no need for the Tarrick family name, my brother can work with the scorched ruins of your reputation. Your family won’t take you when the gossips update you from ‘missing Duchess’ to ‘Desperate Duchess’,” snickering at his own rancid amusement,

He shook his head and sighed helplessly, "You don't need to hide anything from me. His erratic nature stirs up problems even where none exist. You must have suffered again. If he troubles you, I won’t care that he’s a duke—I won’t stand by and support him. But since he's Lady Liudmila's ward and has earned military honors, even my father hesitates to say much against him." Miranda only smiled faintly, saying nothing. This was a conflict between the two of them. Zachary could talk about it, but if she agreed, it would be disrespectful. More importantly, Miranda had no desire to get entangled in the conflict between the two men. She had her own problems to manage, and the last thing she wanted

“Marry me, Kate.” When she did not say anything, he reiterated, “Marry me and it will solve our current predicament.” William looked at his ex-girlfriend and tried his best to maintain the serious look on his face. He fully realized how crazy his suggestion was however he also recalled what his grandfather had said to him a few weeks ago. One more misbehavior, one more bad news about him that would affect the Windsor name, the dukedom of Ashbourne, and he would be forced to hand over his title and would not be a part of the family. In all honesty, William could care less about the money or the title but the last thing he ever wanted was to be disowned by his family.

“Sister Veta, I have finally inherited the title of the Baron, please come back to our fief, and I will make sure to bring back the glory of our family!” As I tried to relinquish the past, the more troublesome it became, the strings that entangled with them all got messed up. Is me clinging to the tiny bit of my life a wrong choice? And why is the temple spying on me? “Lady Veta Le Blanchet is the only descendant of the family, you shouldn’t involve yourself farther with the Demon Duke.” Wealthy life has always been my dream, but it has to come with the responsibility. Now that I have all the resources and support I can utilize to reclaim my life, I will use it to the fullest and live with t
