The princess really got the nerve to piss me off. I may not be married but the nerve of that woman to call me an "Asshole"? This is beyond tolerance.

"Tch,the audacity of this spoiled princess." I growled out the words.I sat in my room, Elias, my personal butler poured the wine in my glass as I picked up the glass to my lips. "She's so privileged that she can just insult me like that." I bit out the words.."you should rest my lordโ€ฆ.too much wine can be harmful for youโ€ฆ" Elias whispered as he bowed. "I'm not going to let this slide." I ignored his words, visible disapproval was clear on his face."I'll make sure that she will not just get away with it." I smirked as I put my glass down, the little princess shall know what it is like to mess with the Duke Azriel.

"You mark my goddamn words." I drank more wine as a small sign of protest. "But the emperor won't like it, my lord." that was the problem. I might be the Emperor's right hand man, but she was his daughter, not to mention the only heir after Prince Adrian abdicated.

"He doesn't need to know" I smirk,The princess wasn't his favourite anywaysโ€ฆ "I'm sure he wouldn't care anyways." I slump back in my chair. "They are all just a bunch of liars." Elias nodded and walked away disapprovingly.

I finished the rest of the wine and then head out to the ball.

Just thinking about this 'princess' makes my blood boil. What does she think she is? I let my thoughts consume me as I walk. Until my cell phone vibrated. Another nuisance. I pick up the call, Of course.

"Good evening, your majesty." Prince Adrian. The oldest son of the emperor and the one who was supposed to be the heir.

"A very good evening to you too, Azriel. I hope I'm not bothering you at the moment." The prince replied in a soft voice. The only royal I can ever trust is him. The only friend I had since I started training for the Duke Title. "Do not worry Prince Adrian. How may I help you,Your majesty?" I made my tone teasing since this was how we talked to each other. "Spare the formalities, Azriel." The prince sighed. "I am already tired of the 'your majesty' word."

"So to what do I owe you pleasure?" I spoke in a serious tone. "Father is calling for you." My shoulders stiffened. Why would his majesty need me on such short notice. It's weird but I can't say no.

"Alright i'll be there."

Lucile

I am so bored and Audrey is getting on my nerves. "Don't worry Lucileโ€ฆI'll still let you be with me when I become a queen." I wish I could wipe that smug grin from her face. "The hell I will let you be the Queen." I glared at her, she looked up from her Phone and smirked again. "My, My...Lucile..darling. You? Queen? Pleaseโ€ฆ.you are making me laugh."

The rage started to build up within me, it made me want to tear out her eyes and shove them in her mouth. "Shut up. You are nothing." I scoffed at her bitter laugh. This woman makes me want to kill her every second I spend with her.

However, My thoughts are stuck to a certain duke. I hate how he arguedโ€ฆbut, he looked handsome. Why the hell am I thinking about that Duke. I wish I could just focus on other things than a certain Duke.

I continue eating my cake. Whatever, I would rather eat my food than wasting my time on a goddamn duke and a so-called princess that wants to replace me. I looked outside the windowโ€ฆ.and the first thing I saw was the duke. I sigh. His expression seemed cold as usual, but the way he walked and the way he talkโ€ฆ.this was all just mesmerizing.

I was distracted by the voice of Catherineโ€ฆ.."princess, we should head back to the palaceโ€ฆIt's about time for the dinner." I stood up, Audrey seemed to say something, but i was too distracted to hear her.
