"Alex, I want to talk to you regarding an important issue!" the duchess said, attempting to take the duke from my room.
"I know, mother, you have a lot more to say. And I have too. As you know when the duke went to war, I was a newly wedded woman, and I'm still the same, so wouldn't it be better for me to leave the duke with me for some time?" I said while pulling the duke toward me.
"But-" the duchess got cut off by me again.
"I know, mother. The issues of the family will come and go, but the relationship between husband and wife won't come and go. Let me please be with my husband. I beg you, mother!" I pleaded, acting to push her out of the room, but nothing worked.
