Chereads / Cursed daughter of the duke / Chapter 9 - BIRTHDAY

Chapter 9 - BIRTHDAY

"Lady you need to wake up" said Suzy early in the morning, "Don't wake me up at least today," said morana, "But you need to get ready and everyone is coming and even the guests are on their way and will reach in few hours" "That's good for them, but let me sleep" "NO I cant" saing Suzy pulls the bedsheet and asks the other maids to take morana to the bathroom and starts getting her ready. It took 2 hours for morana to get completely ready which also made her moody in the morning.Duke came in the morning to wish her and went soon to complete his work so did her sister while the rest two were on their way.Today morana was told to have breakfast in her room as the palace was getting decorated and everyone was too busy. 'Why do I hate birthdays so much?' thought morana "Because you don't like getting dressed or meeting people," said dawn while coming out. He looks at the completely dressed morana and bows to her in his cat form "Happy birthday my contractor" he said, "Well thank you, and don't you dare come out in front of others" "of course, I won't". When they were just talking she heard someone near that door and looked at dawn a signal to go back, as soon as he leaves someone forcefully opens the door. "Who are you and how dare you enter someone's room without their permission," morana said coldly "My apology lady, I must have come to the wrong room as I was looking for my way to the restroom," he said arrogantly which triggered morana but she tried to stay calm "Looks like you weren't thought to introduce yourself when you are apologizing," morana said folding her right leg above left gracefully and which gave an impact that she was powerful. "I was wrong my lady, I'm the son of count Blaze of the south," he says with the bow." You didn't come from the south to die right?" "Why do you say so, my lady?" he said nicely controlling his anger "Entering the room of the daughter of the duke and having the arrogance of looking straight at her and making excuses of not knowing the way to the restroom while there are a lot of maids and no guest was allowed to come alone and still here you are ALONE," she said while walking towards him and standing in front of him. He goes on his knees when sir ryan enters the room with his aura fluctuating angrying "Why are you in my lady's room" the son of the count was too shocked to even reply because of the immense power of sir ryan's aura. "Don't make a mess here and take him out Ryan," said morana "Yes My lady" saying Sir Ryan takes the man out holding his hands tightly while the guy still being in shock. "Do you want me to kill him through his mind, or making him go crazy?" asked dawn through telepathy "Dont worry im fine and today there won't be any bloodbath remember" she said. Suzy enters the room knowing what happened and informs her that the man was too shocked as he kept saying that he saw something dark behind her staring at him and he was not in his right state of mind he was not punished but the Lord will make sure that the count suffers a little after this. 'I thought it was Sir Ryan's aura that made him like that but at that fraction of second you showed yourself, didn't you?' morana asked dawn through telepathy "I couldn't have let him talk to you like that with knowing what kind of dirty intentions he had" reply dawn through telepathy. Morana was quiet for a while when Suzy kept talking about everything in the hope to keep morana's mood from getting worse. "So when do we have to go down?" asked morana after some time " The Lord will personally come to take you" "Right, it's my birthday, I almost forget" "My lady" Suzy called out to morana with a sympathetic and hurt look "Don't worry, I will be fine when I see my family," said morana smiling. " Looks like someone was missing me?" said Theo coming to the room "What took you so long to come?" "It takes time to come from the capital to here my dear sister" "So you should have left a few days early why come today only," she said pouting "I am so sorry my dear sister and you are looking beautiful" "Thank you" "And I almost forget look who is here" "Of cause I know too, I could feel his energy as soon as he entered" "That's true, he doesn't even hide that he is too powerful" and then someone enters the room "Greetings to the prince" saying Morana bows "Its good to see you too and you have changed a lot since the last I saw you and of course, you are looking too.... good and beautiful," said the prince awkwardly "Thank a lot prince," said morana without any expression as she is not good with compliments. "Didn't I tell you she has changed a lot," says Theo. "Am I the only person who doesn't know that I have changed?" asks morana "Well maybe because you don't wanna know yourself?" said the third prince "But why are you here prince ? Aren't you supposed to be with father and all the guest down?" asked morana "Looks like you have offended my sister Arnaldo?" said Theo laughing " She has not changed much in behavior" said the third prince while having a seat, while other both also take the seat. "Suzy why don't you bring some tea" "Yes my lady" saying Suzy left the room. "So tell me how come you are here?" morana asked with a serious look. For the past 3 years Morana has been helping the third prince and theo being their personal counselor, well she was counseling Theo for a long time whenever he used to come home he would ask Morana what to do in such and such situations, and her suggestions would always help him and being proud of her sister's another talent he told the third prince and so its been 3 years since prince also joined the counseling section. "I will tell you, sister," said Theo but the prince stopped him trying to tell himself "Well you see there is this person" "Not a person but a lady," says Theo "Will you let me talk" asked the prince "Alright there you go" "So there's this LADY and I don't know what made her think that I am interested in her but she keeps on coming at my working place an even at my palace asking for the permission to meet" "Well if she is allowed to roam around the royal palace then she must be someone of big status," said morana "Yes she is the daughter of the duke of the west" "Lady Miranda!!! how did you even attracted such an evil lady" "You know a lot about her?" asked the prince "Who doesn't know about Lady Miranda, she is too famous as your hidden fiancée" "What!!!" saying the prince stands up "How come I didn't knew about such rumors?" he asked "Why wouldn't I know, I got the person who knows rumors all around the world" She was talking about Shawn as being good in business he made a lot of informers from all over the world.

"What are you both doing here?" asked the duke as he entered with Suzy behind him "I hope you haven't forgotten it's your birthday?" the duke said to morana "No father," said morana while the rest both greeted him. "Aren't you both supposed to meet me first? Yes, my dear son" duke said with a smile, which was a signal to ask for forgiveness before it's too late. "Father we had something very important to talk with sister" "Yes before her debutant celebration?" "No father" "Good let's go then dear and prince I hope to see you down at the banquet too" "Yes Duke"

Duke entered the hall holding Morana's hand, everyone was anticipating to look at the youngest daughter of the duke who has not been seen by anyone yet. Morana was wearing a beautiful purple color gown with little details and the cape had the symbol of the Zeldanor which was indicating the next successor of the dukedom. This was a surprise for everyone and it also meant that many more will be after morana now. "Thank you, everyone, for coming to the celebration of my Daughter's debutant and also the announcement of the next successor as you all can see is clearly shown" with the speech everyone congratulated her and the duke but still some had a questioned look as to why make the youngest the successor while the other children are more capable, but no one dared to ask. "You look so beautiful," said liana approaching her and taking her into a firm hug "Happy birthday again morana" "Thank you so much sister" she hugged her back. "Happy birthday my little sister" Argon came out of nowhere through his teleportation magic and everyone's attention was diverted to them. This is the powerful Zeldanor family is what everyone was thinking. "Do you have to make such a grand entry and you are late too" "I had somethings to take care of on the way here, I am sorry" "Well whatever at least you came safe and before the banquet ended" "Are you being nice or sarcastic morana?" "Think whatever you want hump". Many people congratulated her personally and many even tried to flirt with her but because they could not as every time someone tried to do something one of her siblings or even the duke would appear behind her. With lots of gifts and wishes the party was ended without any bloodbath as morana wished. "Here is my gift," said the prince handing her a small box and they both were alone near the pond where they used to always sit. "What is it?" saying she took the box and opened it and it was a bracelet. "There is more to it, wear it," he said, as soon as wore it the bracelet glowed, and with a little scratch it took a drop of her blood, and the glow was gone. "What did just happen?" asked morana being completely shocked "Think of a weapon closing the fist of the bracelet hand, she did as he asked and the bracelet turned into a golden long sword and when you think of it to be gone it vanishes. "You can think of any weapon and it will convert itself into it but you have used or touched the weapon before for it turn into it" "This is.... thank you so much, how did you knew I would like something like this" "I have heard from your brother that you are training a lot and soon will be stronger than theo" 'so he half lied?' thought morana "THis was so kind of you Alnardo" "I thought you were not going to call by my name again?" "Well I told you that I would only do that when it's just the two of us" "Yes and you did," he said smiling.
