The Tyrant Duke Is The Father - Chapter 13 - Moment To Be Weak

Chapter 13 - Moment To Be Weak

Why... why am I crying? This already happened once, so why am I-

A warm hand touched my cheek, making me look up only to see Cassian wipe away one of my tears and bring it up to his mouth.

Licking it, he looked down at it.

Cassian Bastillos

It's sweet.

Sweet? He's just making fun of me!

I stood up, frowning.

Rosalie Julian

I don't want to return to my Father. To me, he's dead.

Cassian Bastillos

Good, because I don't want to deliver him my child on a silver platter.

I huffed.

Rosalie Julian

Who says that I'm pregnant?

Cassian Bastillos

I do. And as long as you can't prove that you're not pregnant, you're staying here.

I huffed. What a miserable man!

Rosalie Julian

What if I don't want to?

Cassian Bastillos

Then, Annabeth Julian, just wait to find out.

I frowned.

Rosalie Julian

That's not my n-

Floyen

Your Grace! The men have been looking for you, they're awaiting orders for their training exercises this morning.

Cassian looked at me one more time before shaking me off, walking down the corridor.

Rosalie Julian

Such a rude man!

Floyen

Actually, I find that he's being pretty polite to you.

Rosalie Julian

Polite? Really?

Rosalie Julian

That's his way of being polite?

Floyen

Well, His Grace grew up without a Mother to guide him with the things of the heart.

Rosalie Julian

You mean feelings.

Floyen

Right. His Father was a very cruel man and-

Floyen

Well, I shouldn't be taking about them right now.

Floyen

Lady Annabeth, shall I call some dressmakers here to get you some gowns?

Floyen

This one that you're wearing was a gown on my wife's.

Rosalie Julian

My name isn't Annabeth.

Floyen

Wait, excuse me? Aren't you the House of Julian's daughter?

Rosalie Julian

I was. My name is Rosalie Lilian Julian. You can call me Rosie.

Floyen

R-Rosalie?

Floyen

The Duke's illegitimate daughter?

He quickly covered his mouth.

Rosalie Julian

Don't worry, I won't be offended. People have been calling me that my whole life, despite the fact that it was my Father who was wrongful and unfaithful.

Rosalie Julian

I was born from a mistake and a trick, and it was my Mother who was tricked in the end.

Floyen

I see... me and His Grace believed that you were Annabeth, since you were wearing the white and black gown that the Count had been gushing about getting his daughter for her birthday.

Ha... of course he didn't get a gown especially for me. Naturally, he got the same exact one for Annabeth to wear.

She got to be the spotlight at her own birthday party, for once.

Rosalie Julian

Floyen?

Floyen

Yes, My Lady?

Rosalie Julian

...

Rosalie Julian

Can I ask for a favour?
