Revenge of the Forgotten Duchess
chapter 8
Maids rush to Seraphine, who clutches her cheek, looking hurt but calm
(head of maid)
*Glaring at Celestia* Duchess, how could you be so heartless!
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*softly with a small, teary smile*
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
It’s my fault I must have crossed a line *A single tear rolls down her cheek*
(head of maid)
*Angrily* My lady, don’t say that She’s just being dramatic!
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*Emerging from his office, his voice sharp and commanding* What is going on here?!
(head of maid)
*Quickly stepping forward* Sir, the Duchess slapped Lady Seraphine out of nowhere!
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*His cold gaze snapping to Celestia* Is that true?
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Silent, gaze fixed on the floor, gripping dress tightly*
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*voice rising* Answer me!
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Still silent,hands trembling slightly as avoids his eyes*
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*Gently touching Rhaetic’s arm*
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
Rhaee, it’s okay I might have upset her without realizing it
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*Coldly* Apologize.Now
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*voice barely audible,still looking down* I... I’m sorry
The maids exchange glances, their judgment clear in their eyes.
(head of maid)
*Muttering under her breath but loud enough to be heard* An apology isn’t enough She should kneel
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
Enough! Everyone,return to your duties
Rhaelis Veylthorne (Duke)
*glances at Celestia with disappointment* I don’t want to see this mess happen again
He turns and heads back into his office, with Seraphine following close behind, her face glowing with false sweetness. The maids disperse, whispering amongst themselves.
(head of maid)
*Before walking away, mutters quietly* Bitch
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*rushes to her room, slamming the door behind her,collapses beside it, body shaking as tears stream down her face.*
--Why... Why does everyone hate me? Did I... Did I do something to deserve this? Father... I want to go home *voice cracks as she clutches her knees* I can’t do this anymore. I miss my kingdom. I miss my father, my brother... Lily...*buries her face in her hands, her sobs muffled in the quiet room*
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*gathers herself and sits on the bed, eyes red and swollen from crying*
The door creaks open without an invitation.
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*Enters with a bright, innocent smile, holding a dress*
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
I brought you this, sis *places the dress on the chair, her tone syrupy sweet*
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*Doesn’t even glance at the dress, her face blank*
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*Showing off her ring* Isn’t it beautiful? Rhaee bought this for me He even chose this dress to match it
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*places the ring beside the dress and smiles mockingly* If you want, I can let you borrow it
Seraphina Duskbane (duke's mistress)
*walk out from the room*
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
*stands up slowly, her movements deliberate. She picks up the ring, her expression unreadable*
Celestia Moonveil (fl/Duchess)
A ring to match the dress, huh? *smile turns bitter, filled with hurt. Without warning, she throws the ring across the room, the metallic sound echoing as it hits the floor*

Duchess Heartless. Oh hello, you. Whatever. First, if your husband takes his mistress in front of your eyes, she's talking to your husband sweetly. Now, she calls you 'sister.' How are you supposed not to slap her? But I'm upset with the female lead. Why didn't she slap him hard?
