"The tea is finished. I'm done, Duke. I'll be on my way now. See you in the next." Duchess Natureal put down her right leg resting on her left leg. She has been crossing her legs since earlier.
The high heel click on the paved stone is firm yet it's subtle and sublime.
"You practiced hard?"
"It's to match the pace with you, the Duke. In what say you men can sit for a long time? I give the reason for leaving you early. Off with your duty using the physical, dear Empire's Duke."
"The Knight. It's The Knight. Time most I'm sitting in the office."
Duchess Natureal stares at the Duke, The Knight. "And then, what?"
She's oblivious and obvious to the one. 'You didn't catch my eyes.' Natureal wording words are not meant to hurt one.
It's about fighting between one and one. Duchess can't stand without the Duke? Let rid of who made the rule.
Of course, not to others. It's opprobrious only to her. After all those romance books she reads, let's them be without male leads and romances. Why not stand up to her as a female lead only?
It possible? After all, there must be it. ROMANCE.
The Knight long kind paused. It takes moment but he undertook her under gratitude. "As it's, Duchess, you will have your next Duke."
"Yes, it's." The words are always errant from how she meant and how of the Dukes interpret them. The meeting from now will be redundant till she has one of them as her husband. Let's them swaying as how it's in their head.
She wishes not to play the game but the Duke title always the game with it. A game will leave them sleepless nights. After all, a woman is a vulnerable temptation to men once they set their minds to it.
A creature with many emotions leads the leading actions whether it's wise or stupid. Then, it wouldn't make her one?
"Duchess? You're the lubricant to us, the Duke and the Empire."
She didn't get up yet yet another Duke coming to her. Entertainment today meant in the garden. Two Dukes for the day. She met them here today. "Off you go, Mr. The Knight. Next Duke is coming wooing like a little cute kitten. Should I say it's big or small depends on how performances are carried out, aren't you agree, another Duke?"
"Dearest student, it's an obbligato for you always never the fail the class of witticism, I see of it engendering your species, Duchess Natureal?"
The dearest teacher called the dearest student, in which way she doesn't like? For her species? Probably that was the demand of the Emperor too. She's not diffident in anyways so it's could be so when she born a few species for the use and threat.
Trick or threat. She's not in for one kind of crazy festival.
More than so putting herself on the fence that's laid her low on uncommitted patronizing over others. Duchess Natureal holds out her hand signaling, "Come here, teacher. Will you sit on my chair?"
An invitation as well a question. Both of them, which will get on nerves questioning one position?
The Knight smiling in pleasurable. How the woman enticed the Dukes around her and make them unable to wink a second for it left her out of their sight.
'Dukes of Entertainment' she says. They're off so to her, he sees. Natureal sees the savior as it.
Duchess Natureal the only care about is 'it'. To main the balanced powers between the houses. Noble is between royal and commoner and between royal and commoner is noble.
Duchess Natureal doing the pinnacle that was refused by most people and the undo of other women.
It's not about caring about one house and those houses related to the other.
"How about let you properly let me as how you should, Duchess?"
"Duke, it's shame come it's about the two of us."
The Dukes watching The Duchess. The wars between the two titles always begin especially its Duchess Natureal. "What's it 'the two of us.'?"
"You're here as per your title, Duke. The Duke. The Duchess. I'm here sitting for the title. Let's enhance meeting by the titles."
The teacher's eyes unwavering in presence of the student presently presented herself as The Duchess. Natureal's black dress is made sartorial by him. The part he'll be never losing as one of the Duke.
"Are my black dress much keener to your eyes, Duke?" Natureal's question only gets her more greedy for things others have their eyes on.
"Yes, I'm for the one who wears it, Duchess Natureal. The other's why The Knight still by your side?" The Duke takes the empty teacup from The Duchess's hand.
Guard Knight comes to bring another cup of tea. Duchess Natureal take it. "He purchased the tryst. I hope you understand, Duke."
Once again, the bidding time is tea. The finishing time is by the time Natureal is done sipping the tea. He has it in less than four minutes.
How long will the last one for the day last? Duchess Natureal axiomatic scene, sense, and sight is the night. A liberation to release herself from the Dukes is the tea. The soothing aroma and emolument is the tea. The reason it's that refreshment is favored.
The drink of tea is everywhere. He could see why Duchess is keen on the tea. Following Duchess's taste and her rebellion to responsibilities onto her shoulders to the people is sharing and drinking tea with them. How Duchess is sweet and shiftiness in getting along with people.
The tea. The Knight's eyes on his own shadow reflected in the tea. The drink that's drunk by everyone no matter status or prejudice. The difference in the taste of different plants and how they're preserved. An exemplar of a great businesswoman.
And now, The Empire wants her to entertain the Dukes. It's possible the dear Emperor wants tied Dukes to The Duchess over the silhouette is the Queen. Still, it's the Queen as fair as he know is out of prevalent of other women is she's The Queen crowned at the age of 10 years old. And most she's out of emotions over ROMANCE.
What's the Emperor's games?
"You have many fervid thoughts in your head. You're getting your time over than you should, Duke. Let's not see in the next as you gained whole much time today."
The Duchess Natureal's sonorous voice. It's the voice defence the one Duke at her side.
