My Seductive Childhood Villain
Chapter 8 - A Playmate
Darlene
Sir, you called for me?
Darlene stepped into the Duke's office. Having been promoted to my own personal maid, she was a direct link between me and my Father.
She was the one who told him my likes and dislikes and any problems that I might have encountered.
Duke Blake
Yes. I want my weekly report on my daughter.
Darlene
Lady Emma spends her days reading books and running around the garden with Sir Robert.
Duke Blake
Surely not... doesn't she have lessons?
Darlene
She's already been taught any etiquette she might need in the next ten years and her knowledge of history, her embroidery, they are all perfect.
Darlene
Something that you'd expect from a Princess.
Duke Blake
Well, that is to be expected. She is the Princess of the Blake family.
Darlene
But normally, a child Lady Emma's age would have a playmate already.
Duke Blake
A play... mate?
Darlene
Yes. A child of a smiliar mental capability who can occupy and have fun with her.
Darlene
All of the other noble girls that I've served before have had one.
Duke Blake
Yes, finding one that matches her skill in magic and all other things.
Duke Blake
That is practically impossible.
Duke Blake
My daughter has no equal...
Darlene
*thinking* Well, when the standards are like that...
Darlene
Perhaps we should send out applications.
Darlene
A noble family's daughter or son would be better for the Young Lady.
Duke Blake
Son? No man will ever go near my Emma.
Darlene smiled awkwardly, hoping that she'll still have her head by the end of this conversation.
Darlene
Understood. I shall send the applications out immediately.
A week later, all that the Blake Duchy got back was rejection letters, detailing their children's sudden illness or whatever creative excuse they could come up with.
Duke Blake
Does not one of those girls want to be friends with my, amazing daughter?
Darlene
Well, no one knows about her identity since you've sworn all of the staff to secrecy.
Darlene
They believe her to be...
Duke Blake
What is it? Spit it out.
The Duke sat back on his chair.
Duke Blake
Tell me their names. I'll cut off their heads and send them to their children bit by bit.
Darlene
B-But that also means that any boys should stay away from her too.
Darlene
*thinking* I'll make use of his protective nature towards Lady Emma's future love life to save some lives in the process.
Duke Blake
I guess... that you aren't wrong.
Emma Blake
Daddy? Has my playmate arrived yet?
I pushed the door open, my eyes sparkling with excitement.
Emma Blake
I can't wait to have a friend to play with and discuss binomial theories with!
Duke Blake
Come here, Emma.
He put out his arms, which I ran into immediately.
Daddy picked me up and set me down on his lap, my pretty dresses skirts flowing over my legs.
Duke Blake
Daddy will find you a playmate worthy of you, okay? It doesn't matter if I have to kidnap, torture-
The Duke turned towards Darlene, who mimed him to stop talking about all of the gore and death things.
Duke Blake
What I'm saying is just give me a few more days, okay?
Duke Blake
I'll get you the perfect playmate, okay?
I nodded and smiled brightly.
Emma Blake
Okay! I trust you, Daddy! Thank you so much!
Emma Blake
I'm going to go play with Brother now. I'll see you at lunchtime!
Duke Blake
Of course, my little blossom.
And just like that, I jumped off of his knees and rushed out of the door.
The Duke's face darkened.
Duke Blake
Find a playmate, anyone with capabilities that are around the same as hers.
Duke Blake
I don't care what you must do...
Darlene
Well... we did receive one application...
Darlene
It's the son of the Duchess Everfall. The Duchess wishes to send him here for the summer before he disappears to study abroad.
Duke Blake
A boy? Out of the question-
Darlene
He is rumoured to be as cold as ice and heartless, just like his father.
Darlene
He's also rumoured to he the next villain in nobility.
Darlene
It would do Lady Emma some good if we got on their good side for now.
Duke Blake
Out of the question!
Duke Blake
There is no way that I'm allowing someone of the opposite sxx to Emma to be her playmate.
Duke Blake
Especially the Everfall boy!
