Chereads / The Duke's wife. / Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

A month had already passed ever since Selene moved in with Damon .

She was now well versed with every part of the estate and she knew the people under her .

Her lessons where going great and her teacher Mrs . Doris was very strict and sweet to her . She taught her the things she was lacking in .

She learnt how to knit , draw and some bit of music . At least she was now equal with other daughters of the nobles . She now feels like she truly deserves the title of duchess .

Her relationship with Damon was progressing slowly and she was very appreciative of the time he gave her to adjust to everything.

But the fact that he has been very busy and she only meets him once or twice a day . She doesn't know but everytime he leaves to go and work outside the estate she would miss his presence.

Levina was also rarely seen due to the knight's training and she clearly didn't want to see her either.

The queen was coming to visit them in a week's time so she got herself busy with the preparations to stop herself from thinking about Damon.

My Lady , the Duke has arrived.

Selene moved from her seat hurriedly. She was currently resting in the garden after she had dinner because she could not sleep .

When she woke up in the morning she learnt that Damon had already left for work so she didn't get the chance to see him .

She strode towards the entrance to welcome her husband. She could not understand the feelings going on in her heart.

Everytime she sees Damon , her heart would behave in the strangest ways making her so nervous.

What's happening to me , my face is so hot . Selene thought.

Damon welcome back . Selene warmly welcomed her husband. She helped him to get out of his coat .

She had learnt a lot from Mrs Doris about marriage and the duties of a wife. She also asked Xavier the butler about Damon so she could learn more about her husband.

Duchess , if you don't fulfill your duties as a wife then your husband will go else where and get as many mistresses as he likes .

Am sure you know how the nobles don't mind about a man taking more wives . Mrs . Doris's words rang in Selene's head .

If she could not make Damon feel loved , then he would take a mistress worst of it Levina .

She would try to safe guard her marriage. She cannot end up like her mother .

Thank you Selene. Damon was happy to see that his wife was making an effort in their marriage.

He never thought that he would one day get married but he was enjoying his wife's efforts.

He had noticed that ever since Mrs. Doris began teaching her . She had gained more confidence.

Maybe it was the bridal lessons that made her put more efforts in their marriage.

He hated that he was so busy with sorting out the issues of the floods that destroyed the villages in the Northern parts of the kingdom.

He had grown quite attached to her that he longs to see her everyday he comes back . She was now used to his home and he could tell that she was more happier than when she just came.

Have you had your dinner.
