A kick was heard in the office room, followed by a punch after. She grip his collar tightly while choking him.
"I know what you are after, marquees Hyacinth" her eyes are still glowing, her eyes widen and a smile was formed.
Allysandro was stunned seeing her in this form. He thought the legend of Zeianna Yves Emery was just a rumor, he didn't believe he saw it with two eyes.
"You people are losing my patience eh? I want to live in peace, yet you are here, trying to steal the position that my father dedicated for"
"He spent blood, sweat and tears, and I won't let it be to these hands like you" she touched his hand, and licked it.
Allysandro irked at her actions. "get out of my sight, duchess! I will report this to the crown prince already"
Her tentacles blocked the door. "we're not done with this yet, Hyacinth"
"Your grace" he mumbled. He's scared for his life and he crawled backwards and hid to the table.
But still, everyone with prying eyes will try to look at you.
Her red eyes scrutinizing his scared expression, and laughed at it. "I won't kill you like the legends say, I'm just giving you a lesson"
She gave up her tentacles and held his hand, "stand up, and lend my hand, marquees Allysandro Hyacinth" at this point, the marquees think of a plan to kill her.
He gladly take her hand, his free hand take the gun behind his coat, and aim it at her.
The sound of guns was heard to the corridor, with the spy being surprised of what he saw.
At first, he thought that the marquees killed himself, but he is wrong about his thoughts.
He peeped at the peephole, and Zeianna shot the gun at the marquees' head.
He run for his life and told the prince what happened.
"So I see... You may get out. I'll double your salary, but make sure no one will found out about this"
The man bowed down and got out of his office. Ylium smirked and stared at the glowing moon.
"You're here and doing what you are used to do, only to trap yourself on my cage, again"
She gone back to her home after she killed the person who became the spy of the crown prince to watch what happened earlier.
Her glee became the light of the maids working under her liege.
She's glad no one noticed that she changed her clothes in the cabin where she killed the servant who served under him and burned her bloody clothes after.
'The crown prince really test my patience. There are spies in the mansion that work under him. I would clean the stain I've made before the servants make a move'
The smirk she saw at her peripheral view leave her in her nonchalant emotions and she got home as if nothing happened.
Days passed and she's still silent, doing all the things a duchess must done. Even a maid who tries to talk to her will think that they are talking to a wall because of her dark aura.
But suddenly, the butler starts to talk. "here are papers that you told me to buy. Oh, and also quills and inks" she nodded and the butler and his apprentice gladly put down the boxes of things she told to bought.
They left afterwards and the room became silent. She sighed and wrote a paper for the duke of Edwards.
Gladly a maid came by to give her a finger food. "Amelia, kindly send this letter to the duke of the Edwards family" she requested.
"Duke Victorino of Hamelia empire?" she nodded. "if you can't do that, kindly send the letter to the post office"
She did what the duchess requested and she got out to send the letter to the post office, however, on her way to the mansion, someone grip her hands and brought her to the nearby alley.
"Who are you— your highness?!" she got shocked by the sight of a person who grip her.
"Amelia..." he said, with a disdainful tone that fills the gap between them. His smile is not really that sincere to be noticed.
"What do you want, your highness? You already impregnated my younger sister! You can't harass me against her anymore!" she grit her teeth and forcefully removed her hand against his grip.
"I want your duchess" he answered. She chuckled. "Duchess Zeianna? What do you need from her?!" she screamed in a lower voice.
He removed his hood, revealing his blonde and his glowing blue eyes filled the oceanic aura in the place.
"I need her—"
"And why do you need someone?" the oceanic aura is filled with bloodshed aura because of a person behind her back.
She saw the duchess in a red and gold dress, with puff sleeves and flower motifs overall the dress. Her hair is neatly tied, with the sides curled up and found on the sides of her face.
Her white parasol is the thing that is stunning among the dirty hoods of the two.
"Is there anything wrong, Amelia?" she asked. "n-nothing, your grace" her reply. She simply hold her hand and got out of the alley.
"Did you sent it to the post office?" Amelia nodded. "go home. Now"
"What about you—"
"I can handle this. You can go home and do your chores there"
Amelia got out and walked away, Zeianna walked towards the alley, only to find the crown prince leaning on the wall, with his arms crossed.
"Are you done giving your maid a lesson?" he asked. Her nonchalant expression is still present on her face.
"Giving a lesson on the innocent seems evil" her response to his question, staring at his cravat, and his face after.
'His face is still nothing compared to the young duke. Though possessing such features, his personality is no match for someone who has a warm heart for everyone'
"What if I give you a lesson for being an insolent person?" her question to his question, a smirk leaving on her face.
Ylium's face became shocked to her sayings. His world stops hearing that.
But, it's the duchess who hates him, he can reverse the cards on this, right?
