Novel & Cerita The Duke's Masked Wife

White curtains are draped over the ceiling and a white carpet is laid on the floor, making way for the King and I to walk down the aisle. People stood up as soon as the guard in front of the door announced that we are ready to start the ceremony. King Viper slowly started leading me towards Prince Barlion Great. The colorful and exotic flowers I saw leading to the castle are making a beautiful circle around my future husband. I made the mistake of looking around at the people attending the wedding. Because as soon as they land their eyes on me, I could see the judgment. They take one look at my masked face and they think they know everything about me. I can see it in their eyes that they bel

“...is a condition brought about by nature, something none of us can control. What happened to the duke was not a misfortune. It was a conspiracy designed to compromise our species. A scheme to get close to the duke to take my daughter’s blood and you call that an ‘incident’? Which the duke had the ‘misfortune of suffering’?” She scoffed, an upward tug at the right corner of her lips did nothing to take away the deathiness on her face when she added with feigned understanding, “Well, I suppose everyone has a different way of assessing the gravity of a situation. I would say more, always being big on words, but my New Year’s resolution is to speak less. So let’s try something new.”

“The prince declared a masquerade ball to announce his beloved to the court. The king and queen were excited that their son had finally chosen a bride, and happily agreed to meet her at the ball. The prince then dressed his love in silks and a beautiful silver mask. She looked the part of a queen, even if her blood was common. “She was the most beautiful guest of the ball. She charmed the king. She charmed the queen. They felt she was the right choice for their son and the country. The king gave his permission for the two of them to be wed. It was after this declaration that the woman removed her mask and revealed her station to be nothing more than that of a servant.

DUKE WILD’S MANSION “Are you sure of it?” asked Duke Wild. “I’m pretty certain of it,” said a woman in a mask. “You have to be a hundred precent sure.” “I saw her being carried away, and she was badly injured.” “How bad is it?” “That I’m not sure.” “Humph, and you call yourself a trustworthy ally.” The woman in the mask gasped and said, “My lord, know that she was coughing up blood.”

Why is the duke trusting her instantly? She knew his mask was a sensitive topic for him, and no one even saw his real face, except his own parents. She thought he only needed a duchess to act and only a contractual marriage...everything is business...So he was really serious when he said ‘wife’. Does that mean he doesn't want a divorce? She smiled at him. “No, it's okay now. I was just testing you that day.” Although deep inside her wanted nothing but to throw that mask and reveal his face, her body was frozen.

The Duke sneered, his face a mask of fury as he reached into his pocket and whipped out a pair of torn lace panties and dangled them accusingly. “This!” he spat. “My cheating wife is carrying on an affair behind my back.” Eros raised an eyebrow, his lips curved into a slight smirk. “And you’ve decided her crime is proven... by these? Why not catch her red-handed, and then you can spiral?” Before the Duke could respond, Vivienne, who had been standing silently nearby, suddenly gasped. Her face turned colourless as her hands flew to her mouth, her wide eyes fixed on the flimsy fabric in the Duke’s hand. Both men turned to look at her, confusion tearing through the tension in the room.

(Duchess Marriane) Seeing only Duke and the Knight was the only one in the crowd, made Duchess feel anxious. But as she was busy looking for the guest, a tall and big woman wearing a full leather armor slowly approached Duke. Upon closer inspection Duchess realize that the woman was a demi-human, as she tries to scorn the woman, Duke immediately stops her. "Sir Duke…is the room has been prepared?..". (Big Woman) The woman casually disregards all the people in the area and asks the duke immediately. All the Knights and maids were baffled by the lady's bold actions.

someone else added incredulously. Many people now looked at Marcus and Ryan with open schadenfreude. Marcus was still on the ground, clutching his bleeding mouth, while Ryan groaned softly from where the bodyguards had left him. "I thought it was strange," announced Lord Pemberton loudly enough for everyone to hear. "The Duke clearly raised these men as future husbands for Miss Blackwood from childhood. How could the bride suddenly be someone else? Turns out some people got greedy." "Unwilling to give up the Blackwood family wealth but wanting to be with their little lover," added his wife with disgust. "The moment her mother died, they couldn't wait to let a servant step all over their mist

“I’m sorry, Alexandra. Truly. But we can… we can continue being friends.” She laughed, no longer amused, but sharp and brittle, like glass fracturing under too much pressure. “Friends?” she repeated. “Friends?!" Duke nodded slowly. “If you want that.” It was the wrong thing to say. Her face twisted, fury finally seeping through the cracks of her polished disguise. “You’re still choosing her,” Alexandra whispered.His silence was the answer. “You’re choosing,” she repeated, “a woman who doesn’t even remember you?” “That woman,” Duke said softly, “is my wife.”

“I knew everything that happened in the DaCosta household as if I lived here. If Anthony didn’t have the cops in his pocket, he’d still be in jail by now.” “For what?” Instead of answering Kate’s question, Duchess laughed and took a big sip of champagne. “I hope you came with a driver. I can see that you’re already wasted,” Kate commented. “I’m not drunk, my dear,” Duchess assured her. “You know what, I shouldn’t tell you this but I will. Your husband isn’t who you think he is. He has done some very questionable things and gotten away with them. You should be very very careful in your dealings with him.”
