"Duke, The viscount of Alfred family has come to greet you should I allow him to come" a knight said to Raven
Raven nodded his head and stepped out of the chariot "Tell him to come" He replied to the knight.
He then helped Aria , She held his hand and stepped out of the chariot .
"We greet the great Duke"
Raven and Aria looked towards the voice, a middle age couple appeared before their sight
Raven nodded , accepting their greetings Aria was about to bow and greet them but Raven's gaze just froze her on her spot, she just showed a awkward smile
"If the Duke don't mind you can have dinner and rest at my mansion"
"Ok" Raven replied
The Viscount guided Raven by himself towards his mansion, Then the viscount with his wife welcomed Raven in his mansion
The viscount introduced his family to Raven but Raven didn't show a slight interest in them
Aria was hungry because of the long journey had made her tired
"Growel" Aria stomach made some noise Raven noticed it
"Viscount, I think we should hed towards the dinner"
Unwilling viscount with his forceful smile replied "As the Duke wishes"
Walking towards the dinning hall, The viscount hesitated for a minute but asked
"Duke, if you don't mind who the lady tagging alongside you"
The viscount and his wife showed curious gaze
Aria unknowingly tightened her grip on Raven's hand as they both walked together hand in hand .
"She is my wife, anything else? "
Hearing it, The viscount and his wife said I unison "No", but soon they fixed their expression and walked towards the dinning hall with a awkward smile
"What a lucky women" both had the same thought going on in their head
The Alfred family was a Viscount family but they lived away from the capital both wife and husband had a dream and that was entering the capital mixing with stronger family obtaining more and more wealth and dominating others, when they came to know that the Duke's was going to take a night break in their city their joy had no bound.
This was a great opportunity for them , to make the duke favour them
The viscount saw the Duke with a women so he thought the Duke must like women so the
viscount even asked his beautiful daughters to seduce the duke by showing their clevage and neckline to the Duke but the Duke didn't even give them a second glance he was disheartened.
And now the Duke said the women was his wife the hope of marrying his daughter to the Duke was shattered
Then too he had to make good relationship with the Duke
After the dinner was over , viscount guided Raven and Aria to their sleeping chamber with a good night greetings the viscount left the young couple
Raven then started changing in some comfortable clothes to sleep.
He threw his sweaty shirt on the side showing of his muscular upper body to Aria who sat right in front of him.
