Chapter 7 - Being A Duchess
It was a little hard to believe that I was now a Duchess.
As the carriage rolled along the street, I looked down at the dress I was wearing and smiled.
It was feeling a little nervous, but I felt a little reassured.
A man who has been on the battlefield since an early age would have never felt the warmth of a woman.
I'm ready to provide him with that warmth.
Everyone deserves to have someone provide them warmth, whether that is a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a friend or a wife or husband.
Suddenly, I glanced out of the window and saw Kyre riding up alongside the carriage.
I parted the curtains to see him better, and he looked more like a Prince than a Duke.
His horse was majestic, and his posture and riding skills could have told me everything about him.
Suddenly, his eyes drifted towards the window where I was peeking out from and our eyes met.
I need to get on his good side if he is to treat me well.
Adelaide Cryteare was an extravagant woman with extravagant taste.
She blew all of her budget on dresses and jewellery, just to compensate for her childhood, having been given nothing.
I looked at Kyre and smiled sweetly, making my eyes transfer a little warmth to him.
He then turned his head and rushed to the front of the carriage, far away from me.
Well, I never said that gaining his favour was going to be easy...
I sighed and leaned back in the carriage, trying to find something to do.
The journey was a long one, and I was slowly roasting my wedding gown.
My makeup will soon be sliding off my face. I resulted in fanning myself with my hand, trying to stay as cool and immaculate as possible.
After two hours, I saw the carriage turn into a huge palace.
Were we going to visit the Emperor?
The carriage suddenly stopped, and Daniel came to help me down from it.
Daniel Smith
I apologise for the heat. It will be cooler inside of the manor.
Manor? Hold on, this isn't a palace?
Adelaide Cryteare
Um, sorry to ask but isn't this the palace?
Daniel looked at me and shook his head.
Daniel Smith
No. This is the Cryteare Estate.
Adelaide Cryteare
Wait, WHAT?
No way... this huge thing... surely it has to be a palace...
Daniel Smith
Well, this used to be the castle of a royal family who used to live here.
Daniel Smith
After Duke Cryteare conquered their land, the Emperor gave him this as a gift.
Who just gives away a while entire castle????
Suddenly, I saw Kyre jump off his horse and walk towards the steps, where he began talking to a butler.
Daniel remained by my side, giving a short glance at his Master before turning back to me.
Adelaide Cryteare
Sir Daniel?
Daniel Smith
Yes, My Lady?
If I want to seduce Kyre Cryteare, I need to get close to his servants and the people who work closely next to him.
Adelaide Cryteare
May I possibly ask for your assistance?
