But that was not all true. The other maid smacks the head of the maid who said it was 5 years and sighed as she says....
"I apologize, madam, it isn't clearly 5 years it was only 5 days. He will be back a few days later madam. And I want to also deeply apologize for making you think that it was 5 years" said the head maid Julia.
Loisa was a bit relieved and smiled happily. And while the duke wasn't around she tried to do her job as the duchess of the mansion.
Loisa was smart, she quickly adapt to being the duchess of the mansion and everyone loved her inside the mansion. And time goes by and the duke is finally home. Loisa welcomed her back as the duke nodded and went to his office to continue working.
It made Loisa feel sad because it has been a few days already since they got married but the way they both act now. It made her feel like they were not married at all.
She tried to talk to the duke but the duke looks stressed and she was afraid that if she made the duke unhappy. The duke might throw her away.
So she went back to her room and cried but she never gave up.
So a few days later, she kept on doing stuff to get the duke's attention. She made him coffee, massage him, take care of him, give him gifts, and so on. But one day, as loisa was going to give him a coffee. The duke said "You don't need to do this stuff"
It made her confused about what he meant by it so she asked him..
"I don't understand, what do you mean?"
"coffee, massage, and anything. Just do the things that make you happy. ahhh I am busy. Go to your room okay?" said by the duke.
It made her frown and replied "okay". As she went to her room and just think positively that he must be stressed or busy that he said it. But on the other side, she also thought that the duke doesn't want to see her that's why he said it.
It puts her into a dilemma whether the duke married her for love or for something else. But as a ball come by and both the duke and she were invited. They both came together and it made Loisa happy. Because it made her feel like they were really a couple. But as soon as they separated because the duke needed to talk to the other nobleman for business purposes. The Baron's daughter named Alice Holreta who was the ex-fiance of the duke talked to loisa.
She smirks and laughs and told loisa "So you were the one who replaced me I see. But what is special about you, I mean I don't mean to be rude but I just don't see anything that is good enough that made him choose you over me."
It made loisa speechless and so she just avoided Alice's eye contact.
"How dumb, well let me just tell you this for your own good. You seem innocent enough," said Alice. Loisa stared at her with confusion as Alice moved closer to her and whispered "he will never love you!"
Alice smiled and loisa asked, "How would you know?"
Alice smirked and said "Because that guy never had a family nor did he want a wife or his own family. He doesn't even want to have his own children. And he is just a businessman. The only thing that is important to him was his money, not you."
Alice laughed and leave. It made loisa really depressed that made her think maybe it is really true.
5 years have passed, and Loisa and the duke were still distant from each other. The duke was busy working while she was still trying to get closer to the duke. But she was completely ignored by him. But it all change when one day, she opened her window to smell some nice air breeze of the morning when a guy shoot an arrow at her. She couldn't avoid it and an arrow was pierced unto her heart. She fainted and lots of maids and butlers panicked and Quickly called for help. while blinking she saw the duke running towards her but she couldn't see his face because as soon as the duke hugged her into his arms. Her eyes were now closed and it was the end of her first life.
