The Alpha King's Little Bride   97
"Beautiful morning, His Grace. How have you been faring?" William asked.As if they were robots built by the same inventor, Edward and Mr Brown had the same facial expression. It was clear they were shocked to see William. The Duke and the old butler looked at themselves synonymously and looked back at the human in front of them. Realizing His Grace was too surprised to speak, Mr Brown helped out. "Good morning William. This is actually a surprise visit. What do you have in stock for us?" He blurted out. He truly wanted to know the reason the Duke's brother paid a visit. But was not sure if the Duke's brother will give a reply or not. "Mr Brown, good morning. I'm glad to see you." William said, looking round the house with both hands at his back. Mr Brown was obviously not expecting the response. "Glad to see me? If at all he is happy to see anyone, it should be Her Grace. After all, he is into her and wants to have her to himself." Mr Brown talked in his head. He knew about Willia

In Bedford, the atmosphere was completely distinct from that of Snowhill. The sun shined aggressively while displaying its beauty. Its rays hurt the residents of the land, making them complain of how they are unable to go out without a coverage. Regardless of the complain, they still appreciated it.The sky had been weeping for several days, with loud and thunderous sounds. It made it difficult for the people to conduct normal meetings, go to the market place, attend parties and resume their of work and businesses. So seeing the sky smiling with a special member of the heavenly bodies, gave them opportunity to be grateful. *****In the house of one of the Baronets of Bedford, Emily father's, the atmosphere was one a person could refer to as, dull.The house was not as big as the Duke's manor. Without contemplation, one should be able to decipher the reason.Being a "Baronet", was not a title one could actually be proud of. Infact, it was the lowest of all noble titles. This title, wh

"Could he have done the job?" While riding on the horse, Edward kept on thinking of the death of Arthur. He could not bring himself to think that James had killed the boy so quick. He gave the horse a big whip, which made it increase its pace.On getting there, he looked around as though he was being watched and gently alighted from the animal. He patted its back as of saying "Good job". The animal, understanding what the Duke had just done, nodded in its own way. The Duke smiled.He proceeded slowly to the entrance of his friend's house. While walking towards the building, James sighted him. "Good morning my noble companion." He said, bringing out his arms to give Edward a hug. "What has brought you here without notice?" He, then, gave him a tight hug. As he did this, he realized that Edward stiffed his body, not wanting to hug him completely.Placing both of his hands on Edward's arms close to his shoulders and staring at him, he said "Is there anything wrong? You got some news fo

"Her Grace" Victoria said, as she knocked the door lightly. Upon hearing her voice, Emily replied and told her to come in. Entering the room and observing the mood, she walked down slowly to where Emily was seated, the bed. She looked at her, trying to know what was wrong. Emily had two faced expression on her face. This made it difficult for her best friend to get what she was feeling at that point in time.Looking around as if being watched by someone, she said "Emily, you called for me. What is the matter? I can see you are not okay." "Please, sit." Emily said quietly as she demonstrated by tapping the bed with her right palm. Victoria looked at the bed and sat slowly. "Emily, is there anything you want to tell me?" She asked her close friend. Apart from the day the Duchess's mother died, she had never seen her in that manner. She looked down and disappointed. "I do not seem to understand. There are a lot of things happening in this manor and I can not help but be surprised." Sh

The Duke followed Mr Brown to the barn. It was already late at night and so they took a wooden lamp along with them. Mr Brown got to the barn and signaled for them to sit. Edward obeyed and sat. Despite the fact that Mr Brown worked under him, he still showed respect to the old man. He had been working for his father before he kicked the bucket. He had also been taking care of he and his junior brother, William ever since they were little. With several sacrifices, the old butler had taken his time to train them well but William chose the wrong part to follow.Thinking of all the good and bad times they have had together, it made Edward love the old butler even when he gives certain attitudes."Mr Brown, what is the matter?" Edward asked as he sat slowly on the wooden box that was used by the stable boy. "Your Grace, I am sorry for disturbing you after meal. I just needed to relay some essential information to you." the old butler replied, looking at the Duke. While saying this, he al

Emily woke to the singing of the birds near her window. She turned slightly to the opening that made the sun rays shine brightly into the room. The light from the beautiful day's gift made her cover her face with her right hand. "Urgghh, it is too bright!" She exclaimed.As she was about sitting upright, a hand out of nowhere put down the drape."Why would the sun ever think of hurting you?" The voice said. She turned immediately and was about jumping up from the bed when she saw Edward.On seeing him, she sighed and relaxed back on the bed."Were you that scared?" Edward said, sitting near were she was lying and rubbing her forehead. She mumbled something he did not hear. "Good morning my Queen. I hope you are better now?" Edward continued. "Good morning His Grace." She replied, sitting up again. Looking at him, she asked "How did you know I was not okay and where is Victoria?""Victoria is carrying out her duties in the kitchen. She reported to me this morning about your welfare. S

"Wow! The sky looks radiating, making it difficult to take my eyes off it." Emily said, swinging her hands sideways and making claps. It had been a while she felt genuinely happy and refreshing. With all that had been happening, she had been in her space, scared to come out. But was helped by her best friend's comfort and definitely, her husband, the Duke. Hannah, who always stayed behind her, followed her slowly. As the housekeeper walked having both of her hands in front of her, with her fingers interlocked, she observed the Duchess. "She looks peaceful and free. I think she is already getting comfortable in here." Hannah thought. "Hannah." Emily called. "Yes ma" the housekeeper answered, moving to her side. "How long have you been here?" the Duchess asked. "For thirteen years, Her Grace." Hannah said as she bowed slightly. "You have actually stayed here for long." Emily added, facing her. The housekeeper responded with a nod."Which means you know a lot about the Duke and his fa

"If I were in his shoes, I would have dealt with the Duke severely. But I would not let it be obvious that I am the one carrying out the acts. It would just be like an insect, eating up the vegetable from within." Hannah said firmly. Emily looked at her, opened her mouth and waved one of her fingers in the air as if to say something. Hannah thought she had offended the Duchess and immediately knelt to beg her. "I am so sorry Her Gra...." She was about finishing the statement when Emily interrupted her."No no, that was not what I meant. Please rise." Emily said as she assisted the housekeeper to stand by using both of her hands. She held her shoulders tight and said "Look Hannah, you have really helped me to see what I needed. I can not walk on this journey alone." the Duchess added."I need your help. I would explain everything to you." Emily said as she quickly dragged the housekeeper by her hand and ran as fast as she could. "Her Grace, I do not seem to understand what is going..
