The Tyrant Duke Is The Father
Chapter 20 - Declaration
Gregory Hamilton
So, where is Lady Julian? I need to speak with her urgently.
Her name was Rosalie Julian... I never knew that the Count had a second daughter.
She lied to me. Actually, come to think of it... I had never asked her name because I had just assumed that she was the Count's only daughter.
Cassian Bastillos
Y-Yeah. Sorry, I'll have someone fetch her.
She's going to have me arrested. If she looks like she's about to announce that I kidnapped her, I guess that I'll have to suffer the consequences and declare war.
I'm not giving my unborn child on a silver platter to that baxtard of a Count.
After I sent Floyen to find Anna-, I mean Rosalie...
Rosalie... her name actually suits her. Rosa means pink, so it suits her hair colour.
Her Mother had good taste in names.
Gregory Hamilton
You're lost in thought, Cass.
Gregory Hamilton
Well, I can't say that I'm surprised. After all, I've just heard that you did it with a woman.
Cassian Bastillos
It wasn't my choice. I was drugged.
Gregory Hamilton
But did you enjoy it?
Did I enjoy it? Her skin was silky smooth, free from any scar or blemish.
And the way that she gasped for air made me want to mess her up more.
And her tears... they made her look so fragile, so human...
Gregory Hamilton
You're thinking about her, aren't you?
Cassian Bastillos
I'm not in the mood for jokes, Greg.
Cassian Bastillos
Me and that baxtard's daughter? Be realistic.
Gregory Hamilton
My apologies... but how can you be sure that she's carrying your child?
Cassian Bastillos
Well, she'd be dead from the drug if she wasn't.
Gregory Hamilton
Right... that drug is such a huge problem right now.
Gregory Hamilton
I've been tasked with sending informants to see where it's being dispatched from, but we've found no lead so far.
Gregory Hamilton
It's effects and rules are enhanced with magic.
Only a select few people can store magic inside of their bodies. All of the men from the House of Bastillos' have been able to utilise magic to its fullest potential.
Cassian Bastillos
You're not suggesting that-
Gregory Hamilton
No, no, no! Of course I don't suspect you. I know how much you hate the idea of smoking, let alone drugs.
Gregory Hamilton
You'd never fall to that level, I trust your character.
Gregory Hamilton
But I'm just saying that-
Floyen
Sirs? Lady Rosalie Lilian is here.
We both turned towards the door as Rosalie walked inside of the office, her hands crossed over in front of her politely.
I turned towards Greg, who's mouth was agape and his cheeks were flushed.
Rosalie Julian
What may I do to assist you, Sir Knight?
Gregory Hamilton
I-I... Lady Julian, can you confirm that you are here of your own accord?
Gregory Hamilton
It's just that you're Father-
Rosalie Julian
My Father is a hypocritical baxtard who deserves to shove his manipulative concern... up there.
He turned towards me, confused as to what had happened, then coughed.
Gregory Hamilton
U-Um, but are you here of your own violation?
Gregory Hamilton
Do you have any complaints in regard to Duke Bastillos?
Here it comes. The pitiful act, the crocodile tears, just to tear my Dukedom to the-
Rosalie Julian
No. I have none as of yet.
Rosalie Julian
Duke Bastillos has been more than an accommodating host.
One of the wolves pups then edged open the door and ran circles around her, barking away.
She giggled, absolutely charming.
I turned my head towards Gregory, who looked like he was about to propose to her that very second.
Cassian Bastillos
Isn't that enough?
Gregory Hamilton
H-Huh? Yeah, that's fine...
Gregory Hamilton
Are you sure that you're not threatening her?
Gregory Hamilton
You can tell me, Lady Julian. I can ensure your safety.
Rosalie Julian
Please announce to my Father that I am no longer a member of the House of Julian, and to leave me alone.
Rosalie Julian
Or else, I'll file an harassment suit and have a restraining order put into place immediately.
