Chapter 122: A Playful Reunion
"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.
"I know!!!! You have so much to discuss, but I got news from the palace that the princess got sick once again, which is why I want to go there with Alex. I heard the princess is in so much pain and kept on calling Alex in her sleep." The duchess played her card, making me tighten my grip in anger.
"Princess? What happened to her once again? I heard she became well," the duke said.
"I know, I heard the same, but now it doesn’t sound good. You have to come with me. We have to leave for the capital in a hurry," the duchess said, trying to pull the duke out of the room, but I once again pulled him inside.
"I know she is sick if you say so. But I also met the princess the other day, and the princess is the one who called me for a tea party. She was fine. But if you say it like that, mother, then I’m also curious to know her health. I want to go with you as well. Wouldn’t you take me? I don’t want to be away from my husband once again." I said while scratching onto the duke’s shoulder, making him look at me.
"Yes, you can come with us too!!" The duke told me, holding onto my arm.
"But who will manage the mansion?" the duchess mentioned.
"Mother, it is only a day. Nothing will happen in a day," the duke said, making me smirk looking at the duchess.
"Ok, get ready fast. We will leave!" she said, while the duke left to his room to freshen up, leaving me and the duchess alone.
