Chereads / Greedy Time Limited Duchess / Chapter 22 - Chapter 21

Chapter 22 - Chapter 21

Lucas who chased away his parents from the garden gets back to Fena," How long have you been here?"

Fena looks at Lucas and smiles brightly," I have been here for three hours. I had fun with your parents."

Fena who was looking at Lucas, Start looking at the red roses in the garden," Your Parents are really nice just like you."

Lucas comes closer to Fena and takes a seat," Are you having that much fun with my parents? What about me?"

Lucas gets closer to Fena," You? Of course! Being with Lucas is more fun than being with your parents." Fena says with an adorable smile.

Lucas stares at Fena for a while," Is that so? Then it's good! Want to look around? We got strawberries at our garden since my younger brother likes it too."

Fena stands up excitedly from her seat," Yes! Let's go! Your younger likes it too, But I haven't seen him around."

"That's because he was having his lessons, I think now he must be getting free."

'I didn't expect her to come here nor did I have any idea about mom's letter. When I heard suddenly from Dad that Fena visited us. I was surprised since it was first time she came here. I kinda felt irritated at the fact that I was the only one who haven't idea about Fena was going to visit us.'

While both were busy talking with each other, Lucas younger brother meets them. Fena who spots the younger Leon waves her hand towards him.

Leon feels shy and hides behind Lucas," Is this is Lady Fena? The one Mom talks about."

"Yeah! She is Lady Fena from the house of Blanchester. Greet her Leon and introduce yourself."

Fena who was staring at the little Leon," I guess I understand now the feelings of duchess, How one's wants to hold the adorable kids."

Lucas and Leon looks at Fena with confused faces," My name is Leon, I am seven years old. Nice to meet you My Lady Fena."

Fena who comes closer to Leon and holds his hands," I am Fena, I am twelve years old. Nice meet you too! You seem same age as Rio and Ray. Call me sister Fena, Since I am older than you. Lady Fena is a little too formal."

Leon who was staring at Fena start smiling," Then I will call you sister from now on."

The three who them start walking around the garden. Leon and Fena starts collecting strawberries in a basket. Lucas who was following them from behind watches them.

"Leon, Let's make strawberry milk shake together."

"Strawberry Milk Shake? What is that?" Leon who cutely turn his heads.

'I forgot for a second that this is something not here or maybe here but somewhere far away. It's not like I travelled around the whole world.'

"It's you, Put strawberries, Milk and sugar together and grind them well. It really tastes good."

"I want to try, Let's make some of these."

"Sure! Lucas you to come with us. You should also taste it, It's superb."

The three of them went to the kitchen and tries to make the strawberry milk shake.

"See! It's ready, Now taste it, You two."

Leon who took a sip from it, Starts shouting and roaming around Fena," What is this sister? It's wonderful, I don't like milk and mother force me to drink it but this is so delicious. Next time I will take milk in this way."

"I'm happy that you like it." Fena who smiles at Leon and Pat's his head.

It was Lucas turn who took a sip from it but went silent. There was no expression on his face.

"You didn't like it? I forgot you aren't that much fond of sweets." Fena who was still talking gets interrupted by Lucas.

"It's good, And I like it, But it's just that I can't express well."

I looked at Lucas with surprised eyes because it was first time that he admitted something on his own.

Leon who was enjoying the shake asks Fena for more, So he could let the duke and duchess tastes it too.

Leon went on his way to duke and duchess. I wanted to look round a little, But Lucas was called out by the former emperor.

I started to look around the mansion on my own. I came across a lot of pictures of Former emperor and the current emperor on the walls.

There were pics of Max and Lucas too. They were looking so cute at the age of five. As I walked forward to other wall there were few rooms. The other wall had a hanged pic of Lucas mother and My mother. Near that pic there was a room too. Whose door seems to be opened up.

I looked at the pic for a while and unconsciously puts my hand on it. I was lost for a while in that pic until I was pushed into the room. Furthermore, I forgot a fact from a long time that I couldn't stand dark places. Not only that, but I had trouble with breathing in dark places.

I was locked by someone in the room. I couldn't see that person, But I know one thing for sure, I can't expect to come out of this room easily because it's so far away from others. No one will hear me, But I still tried to shout and asked for help. One hour passed nobody came, I started to have hard time in breathing. As the time went by room looked more dark and dark.

" Ah! It's again, I'm being reminded of those places again. I don't like this, Someone gets me out of this. What am I hoping for it? Isn't it like this before to, No one will come here, No one can hear."

I didn't notice myself that I was crying until the door that was locked got kicked by someone. I saw a figure standing at the door. Since I was in the dark for an hour. My eyes couldn't take the light easily. I raised my hand as to avoid the light that was directing at my eyes.

But my hand was grabbed by that figure as to look who is he? I raised my head just to found out it was Lucas.

Lucas seems to be in a very bad mood because his expression was very irritated on his face.

(Flash back to the scene how Lucas found her?)

Lucas who was called by the former emperor visited his grandpa. After finished talking he left the study room.

"He keeps nagging on useless things, Just how many days are left free. Only two days are left, He still wants me to work my a$$ off."

Leon who was on his way to the Former Emperor meets Lucas in his way.

"Brother, Did you see sister Fena anywhere? I can't found her anywhere?"

"No, I haven't seen her because I was called out by grandpa too. Just now I was returning to her, You don't know where is she? What about Mom?"

"No! She isn't there too, Mom is also searching for her and Dad left on the order of Your Majesty for royal Palace."

"You go! I will search for her. Don't worry I will let you know."

"Okay! Brother...." Leon nodded and left...

One Hour Later.....

"Fena! Where in the world she had gone? I searched all over the place where she could have been?"

Duchess who was losing her mind," Where has my baby gone? Did she get lost in the Palace? I need to destroy this Palace soon. I don't need such a Palace where my baby is lost, And I can't find her.

"Mom, Calm down! Please! She isn't gone anywhere, She must be here somewhere. Did you ask the maids?"

"Yeah! I asked, Only one is remaining, She is coming in Five minutes...."

Lucas who was looking at the corridor way where were several rooms and having each picture by their side on wall.

"Hmm! Did someone gone there today for cleaning? Why is there hand print on it?"

"Lucas who was suspicious gets closer to corridor and finds out," It's Fena hand print size and anyone can tell since it's on the Lady Rose picture."

Fena shoes lays was on the floor in front of the room door near the Lucas and Fena Mothers pictures where were hanged on the wall.

"This door is block and is not working well, Who left it open? Fena must have been pushed by grandpa in this door. Because he does that to me and Leon every time he sees us in this corridor."

While I was about to think what to do about this door that I suddenly heard a very low crying voice after hearing that I couldn't take it and break the door by kicking.

(Flash back ended)

Lucas who was looking at me with an irritated expression on his face came near to me and sit in front of me. He reached out his hand towards my face, I was left thinking what he is doing?

But He started to wipe my tears by holding the end of his sleeve," You! Don't go to places where I can't see you cry, Don't go to the places where I can't see you. Stay in places where I can see you, Where I can reach you, Where I can wipe your tears."

I was quietly staring at him after hearing his words.

"Can you stand up? Or should I help you with it?"

"I can stand up!" I tried to stand up, But my legs gave up. They were trembling so much that I couldn't take a step. If I did, I would only fall over again and again.

Lucas who was staring at Fena," Your legs are trembling to the point that you can't even move. How are you planning to get up in this state? Leave it, Hold me tight."

Lucas carried Fena alike a princess and Fena warped her one hand around Lucas neck.

Lucas started walking and gets out of them room. Everyone sees Fena in Lucas arms gets surprised. The duchess starts asking to prepare a room for Fena.

By the time when Lucas reaches the room. He sees Fena asleep in his arms," It throws me off, When you make such a crying face. Don't do it again!"

Lucas places Fena on the bed, Puts a blanket on her and leaves the room, To meet the former emperor.

Lilan : "You are so pathetic. First learn how to flirt with ladies? Then go on trying something like this! You piece of trash." * spits*

Lilan :" And you, What kind of man thinks a lot before helping out a lady? You were just standing there while making your mind to agree it or not."

Douma : No, It's because I saw your leg moving back and forth, So I thought maybe you are planning to deal with him on your own, But I still thought of coming forward because people at this party might see you in other way.

Lilan : "Does it matter? They already see me as a boy and says I am not a ladylike? So what's the point? Just because I am strong that doesn't mean I can't be a lady, You, too, must be looking down at me?"
