As Emily enters her champer, her face fumming red with anger. Just the thought of what the Duke did makes her eyes blood shot. But then again, he hasn't done anything yet. That was the future but now that she's back, she can make sure the filthy thing doesn't lay hands her or her mother
.
. thoughts quickly interrupted by the sound of the door opening but you wouldn't have guessed who it was...oh you did Duke Carlos
Duke: princess Emily, why are you acting so hostile all of a sudden the Duke was genuinely confused because just yesterday the princess was smiling at him like he held the stars
Emily: I thought it was obvious. Or did you not hear that I'm feeling lightheaded once again she said rudely, not like she intended to. With a deep breath she takes a seat on her bed
I'm sorry if I sounded rude Duke Carlos
Duke: no problem your highness. After all I can't hold any grudge against my future step daughter
Those two words felt like daggers in Emily's ears. Right step daughter! Emily couldn't help but scoff internally and cringe. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry
Emily: let's save the step daughter talk after the marriage WHICH I WON'T ALLOW . I really hope you have good intentions for my mother
Duke: but of course I do. She's means the whole world to me the Duke could tell Emily doesn't believe him but he doesn't press on that issue, he just turns around and wave. Well then your highness, I'll be seeing you around
Emily: it was nice meeting you. Once again, it doesn't take a mind reader to know she was faking it. The Duke just chuckled and exited her room with a grin and made Emily cringe.
Emily, now left alone could only think of one thing ...her father's words before he passed away. She couldn't understand it before so maybe she could use this opportunity to get a better understanding of what he said after all the blue room couldn't mean that much right?
