Episode 3- inconsiderate

She could see the duke's face close up, even though she didn't love him, she couldn't deny that he was quite attractive.

 -- You pay more attention to my face than to your steps. -- commented in a low voice

-- I have been practicing, I think I know this dance by heart, so I can admire its beauty while I dance, it is an honor that does not always happen.-- she said with a smile, only to see the duke's cold face again.

 --Then take advantage of it in the meantime.-- he whisper in his ear.

Elene could not understand the duke, although they had always exchanged words, such conversations had not been pleasant, they only talked but the duke always said that he disliked seeing her.

Under the light they looked resplendent, like a happy couple, there were those who were envious, they hated Elene even though they knew that the Duke did not love her, the fact that he kissed her aroused the fury of the Duke's followers.

...

The two were in the same room, Elene was thinking about what to do when the duke took a sheet and a pillow, he spread the sheet on the armchair in the room.

-- You can sleep in the bed, I'll sleep on the couch.

-- Alright. -- he walked to bed

 <>

 Elene deeply regretted her words, she wanted the two to haggle over who was going to sleep in the bed and in the end the duke said that they were going to sleep together, she went to sleep on the couch while she watched the duke sleep in the bed.

 After thinking for a moment she fell asleep.

...

The sunlight casually woke her up, the window was where the sofa was, she turned to see the duke but the bed was empty, a servant knocked on the door slowly.

--You can come in--she said as he stood up.

-- Duchess, breakfast is ready, the duke went out today. -- she said with his head tilted

Elene had normally read novels where the new wife was always treated badly by the employees, ignoring her and rejecting her as the new lady of the house, That surprised her but not too much, with a smile she said

-- You can retire, to where the duke left. -- she asked while thinking

<>

-- The duke did not inform where he was going. -- she said politely as he left and closed the door

Elene got ready, tied her red hair in a ponytail which matched her elegance, and left her room to go to the dining room.

There was plenty of food on the table, at that moment the duke's mother also arrived at the dining room.

The two took their seats and began to eat. Elene did not know what to talk about. Silence invaded the room until Mrs. Marie spoke.

-- The duke always goes out, but it is inappropriate that he let his wife eat alone on the first day of their marriage.

-- It's not a bother, I understand that the duke has a lot of work. -- she said with a smile on his face <

She thought as she continued eating.
