Chapter 26 - Surprise guest

Aurora paused did her aunt just say duke? She had only heard of him but never had seen him and he was here in their very home. Aurora was a little shocked Josephine exited the room and put her hand on Auroras shoulder who had turned and was now standing just outside the door.

"Thank you dear one will not be long" as Josephine said this she walked away and left the still standing Aurora there hoping her plan will succeed.

Jason heard everything and just waited patiently. Aurora took a deep breath but for some reason for her it was not as easy as pushing open a simple door. She could feel a very familiar aura, strong seeking dominance, something like a possessiveness was radiating through a simple door.

Aurora pushed open the door, as soon as she entered she froze but her facial features did not change she still held a small smile whilst she was slightly frozen In place. She was met with those strong sapphires once again. It was him, that man … Jason. He held a smile he was dressed in his royal attire but he just sat there casually giving her the vibe that she had just walked right into the pray catching grounds.

"Good Morning" His heart pounded he looked at her after a while she had her equestrian wear on with her Golden river in a thick ponytail.

"Good Morning your highness" Aurora kept a straight face she was neither smiling nor shocked she was rather normal. She curtsied slightly and went and sat on the chair that Josephine was sitting on, In front of the duke.

She didn't know what to say, did he deliberately hide that he was the duke? But why would he? she couldn't quite understand but she must give it to him that he did a rather good job almost making it look as if he was a rather untitled being like he was just someone not royal in that maze and just a young man.

He did it very well if only one did not know any better then his concealment and if it was,would have indeed worked.

Jason could see how Aurora was in thought. She did not react with shock rather she was composed. Again it was that drugging scent, he needed to get this proposal across now and what better way when the main source was right in front of him.

"one was just telling your Aunt how I have come with a proposal"

"Proposal?"

He smiled he could feel, see the despise emanating off of her bouncing around the room only to hit him stronger.

Aurora appreciated everything he as duke had done but that did not mean him being a duke would change the fact that he was one of those species that she despised. But she would always maintain her worldly respect since he did a lot as his current title.

"A marriage proposal"

He saw how she looked at him for a moment.
