The Duke just smiled lopsidedly, as if he was belittling my request, I who saw his smile was annoyed like he was belittled without saying anything, because I already know that the meaning of his smile is
"Is it true that a beggar like you can learn? At least you will actually make them (teachers) difficult with abilities that are less than yourself"
I stared annoyed at the owner of those bright blue eyes for underestimating me with a smile, then I said.
"You must not look at the book from the cover Duke !, because I will prove that mocking view of yours with my ability!"
"Okay I will call the teacher for you, I hope that you do not disappoint me and reduce the dignity of this family" he said casually while still looking at me with a look of disbelief.
I sighed slowly then said
"Then, when will they arrive?"
"Do you want this right now? I can definitely call him, but depending on whether they want to teach former commoners like you or not?" The Duke replied calmly.
I suppressed my anger at being insulted by my own husband even though he was a contract husband, then answered with an arrogant tone
"It's up to you, it's okay tomorrow as long as they are qualified, be it from nobles or ordinary people even though I don't care about their response, thank you for the generosity of Duke, I will say goodbye" left the room.
Duke stared at Florence leaving with a flat face, Franks who saw the conversation was a little afraid and uncomfortable to ask goodbye from that place.
The Duke gave Franks a quick glance and said "Well, I should really fire the current head chef, huh?"
Franks could only smile awkwardly, responding to what his master said.
.......
I walked as fast as possible to the room, when I got there I drove all the servants in and outside the room to stay away from the room until evening.
After that I immediately dropped my body onto the bed and hugged the big pillow to cover my face which was already flushed because I wanted to cry,
Think of me confused because of Edward's cruel treatment and even though I know he is the reincarnation of my husband who has a different character, somehow I hope he is the same person I know.
Because the old Rangga was always gentle to me, always concerned with my self-interest, always gave his shoulder to lean on, always smiled soothingly even though his heart, body and mind were tired, always a reminder of mealtime.
I who recalled those memories unconsciously cried silently alone until evening,
"I miss you Rangga, why do you have to reincarnate and become a different person?"
........
At night, the sound of the leaves blowing by the cold night breeze made Edward a little calm in his study, he had deliberately opened the window wide wide since earlier so that the focus of his work would return,
But still his mind remained unfocused because thinking about Franks' words after dinner last night was also a strange dream that made his chest tight like this.
"Your Majesty, I would like to convey that the Duchess did nothing (meaning calm down, not strange like this morning)"
"How is it now?"
"You mean? He didn't eat any food this afternoon, except for drinking water and eating a little cake"
"Even though he himself wanted to eat in the room because he felt dizzy," thought Edward to himself, also feeling a little strange
"Franks"
"Yes sir?"
"You can go now"
"But sir, you haven't finished your assignment. How could I rest now?"
"I allow"
"But...."
"Quick, this is an order !!!"
"Good sir, according to your wishes" said Franks withdrew from the room "I'll excuse me first"
After Franks left, he returned to continue his work and who knows since when he had fallen asleep because he was tired and then dreamed a little about someone he knew very well and was familiar but he really forgot his face and his face was also invisible.
"Honey do you work?"
"Yes, I came home late tonight"
"Be careful on the road, muach"
"Uh-huh, oh yeah, there is rendang meat soup, heat it up, don't forget, it's your favorite food"
"Thank you, my dear beloved"
"Yes, you are welcome"
"How come the answer is like that, where is the reply?"
"CK ... It's just troublesome, just like this .... If my first love is a job it means my last love is you or not, dear"
"Tu .... wait !!!," Edward shouted as he stretched his hand forward and suddenly he realized that it was a strange dream, and he now ends this bike thinking and guessing whether this incident is related to the strange Florence.
"Ha-ha-ha, there's no way I've dreamed this since 2 years ago, so maybe he has nothing to do with this all" said Edward to himself.
She ruffled her own hair annoyed, because of other thoughts about Florence who haven't eaten enough,
"I think I'm crazy now because I worry about that person, even though he's just a beggar, I have to hurry to the room and sleep" got up from his chair and went to his room.
.........
Sunny morning, I have finished preparing for breakfast together after I made up my mind to be with someone's nature Destiana putri Olivia,
Just to catch the man who used to be my husband in Indonesia and my only child,
"Huff ..." I let out a soft sigh
"I have to make up my mind to provoke the love they had for the previous Duchess turned to me, so I can't be wishy-washy like a teenager who just knows love !!!, So Tia's spirit, you can definitely return Rangga & Brian' love to you" I said to myself.
I saw that Florence's self-reflected mirror was very beautiful, I shook my head, because I felt that when compared to my former appearance, my face was just enough, ignorant, insensitive, but still Rangga was chasing.
"But if you think I was very embarrassed yesterday, from suddenly crying then I could not hold back my anger like not only myself and I feel ashamed to show my face there," I said, stroking my dizzy forehead.
"Madame, it's time for breakfast" said the waiter from outside
"Okay, let's do our best for today" I said optimistically with a small smile and then left the room.
When I got there, Edward and Albert had already arrived at the dining table and had even started eating a long time ago, then I immediately took the initiative to sit in the chair closest to the two of them.
"How are you today?" I asked small talk
Edward who heard my question put on a pretentious face, while Albert even dropped his fork, then he then got up from his seat and said he had no appetite anymore and left the room even though the contents of his plate were still a lot.
"Pfftt ...." Duke suppressed his teasing laugh then said
"What have you actually eaten since yesterday? Or something else? To be able to change your attitude that used to be like a scared mouse ready to be preyed on by a cat, now a domestic cat who is brave with his master?"
"I'm more strange with your question, the point is I'm going to ask now, when will my teacher come?"
"Hm ... Even you are impatient now, take it easy after breakfast is over they will come soon"
"Oh well, thanks" I replied briefly, annoyed and focused on the contents of my plate.
..........
Edward's words were a sign that there were 3 people waiting for me in the living room, I was confused why I didn't come one every hour, for example on a schedule so as not to clash but my question was immediately answered by Franks,
The one who declared that the three of them were the youngest of the family was Jerome Valcke, he stood up and saluted me then next to you is his wife Meghan ghrea markle, and this is the father of Jerome, a Boateng Valcke mercenary.
