The Duke's Unwanted Wife Good Influence
As the conference neared, people started making their way to the North Pawal Island. The Island was a neutral zone that was in the control of the indiginous Pawal people who weren’t generally welcoming to strangers. They maintained the same type of situation as Polivia but people tended to leave them alone because of the treaty. The delegation from the Empire were the first to arrive, taking up a considerable portion of the island. They struggled with the kingdom of Ducroft to share that portion and Polivia arrived third. The Kingdom of Berinda and the smaller nations began to arrive in droves until all the leaders were present. Eventually, everyone got a place to stay and the meeting was set to begin the next day. Polivia got the furthest end of the island away from the other bigger nations. “It’s a wonderful day to have tea, is it not, your Majesty?”“Only you would think of having tea in this kind of situation. It’s quite unnerving to have a meeting like this that’s the first of
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 105: Turbulent Reunion
The day they would reunite drew closer. Natalia tried to hide her anxiety the way she knew best, by pretending the problem did not exist. Even as the leaders converged in the middle of the Island, where a place had already been set up for them, she still calmly pretended all was well. It almost came apart when she set eyes on Fredrich once more. He looked different yet he was familiar. She had seen him like this before, when he became king. This life, she didn’t give herself the opportunity to see him crowned and she thought it was right that she didn’t. Seeing him as a king was seeing him further as an enemy. Life only become more miserable when he became king and began to act unhinged towards her. Fredrich thought his eyes would pop out of his skull when he saw her calmly standing behind the Queen of Polivia. Others, who had heard the Queen of Polivia was dead, were nothing more than shocked to see her still alive and well. The only one who looked so amused to see her was the Crow
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 106: Turbulent Reunion (2)
Fredrich returned to his tent, feeling discombobulated. The comprehension of the fact that his wife who he saw die was still alive and gone because of his clear neglect was rocky. He couldn’t settle on what he was feeling. Now, she had become someone he couldn’t touch or claim. By law, they were divorced and had nothing to do with each other anymore. “Your majesty, what happened? Why do you look so distraught? Did they demand too much? Do we have to go to war?”“No, it’s…nothing. I just need to rest,” he answered, taking her hands away from his body. He had never treated Alana like that. It made her feel strange but she didn’t push it. She knew exactly how his temper was like. Instead, she went on to meet the one person that went with him, his personal aide, Wilbur. Alana prided herself on having a good relationship with his servants so she was able to get information very easily.“What happened in the meeting?”“Oh, it was very chaotic, your highness. I saw Lady Natalia with my own
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 107: Confrontation
She thought he would reject her or act shocked enough for it to pass. But he took the lead, kissing her just as passionately. He pulled away first, staring deep into her eyes while his chest heaved, slightly out of rhythm with hers."I…have to go," he said under his breath. She didn't reply but he left anyway, turning into a wolf to travel faster. Reagan's gaze was on his back the entire time but he didn't move. Fredrich was the first to explode. "NATALIA!""What are you being so loud for? I apologize for interrupting the meeting like that but you asked me to show you how important he was. He's the last thread of my sanity. So, if anything happens to him, rest assured, all of you will feel my pain" she said, her gaze predominantly on Reagan. "In the end, a woman is still a woman. I thought the illustrious Flower of Ducroft would be a virtuous woman but you're as crass and loose as a vixen," Arken loosely commented. "You must feel like the virtuous one, Crown prince Arken. Don't thi
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 108: Broken Relationship
That Alana wasn’t there to welcome him again after he brushed her off the first time angered him. He immediately went to look for her and found that she wasn’t in her tent. He pulled aside a maid and asked where she was. Finally, he knew where she was and walked to find her. She was standing on the shore, staring at the sun sinking in the horizon and he felt his anger slowly slip away. She turned to look at him and smiled. “Your majesty, isn’t it beautiful?” “...it is.” He stood behind her, putting his arms around her shoulders. They stood there, watching the sunset while he was trying to remember why he was angry in the first place. It wasn’t Alana’s fault. It was Natalia’s. “Alana, we keep…no secrets from each other, right?” “Your majesty, there are some secrets of mine you wouldn’t want to know.” “Such as your infertility, right?” The smile on Alana’s face dropped. She turned to look at him, fear slowly filling her heart. She, of all people, knew how scary he could be. “I
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 109: Unwelcome Visitors
As the meeting progressed, they began to note Natalia’s continued absence was a good thing. If she needed to intervene, she would be called. During this time, she decided to gather more mana with Madaline. Instead of using a circle this time, they used a more complex formation Natalia had to draw once more with blood. As she was a transcendental, it wasn’t exactly hard but it wasn’t a piece of cake. Her body had become hardened as a mortal shell so it would take a hard blow that would normally shatter a mountain to break through her skin. But she had one handy object to do the trick, Marvis’s teeth. “Your relationship is frankly disgusting and creepy.”“Madaline, if there’s any other way, you are welcome to try.”Madaline rolled her eyes and continued swinging her leg, watching Natalia drain her blood. He was no longer needed so Marvis relegated himself to sniffing Madaline. She ignored him the entire time and he just lay at her feet when he was done. The flaps of the tent parted an
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 110: Come back
"In the absence of any more objections and suggestions, we can call this meeting to a close. The treaty of the three continents will come into effect from this moment on. I want to thank everyone who came and I really hope that no one will suggest starting a war anytime soon," Natalia said after she finished signing the treaty. The other leaders left, leaving only Natalia and Fredrich standing there with no audience. She raised his eyebrows, wondering what he was going to say this time. "You can come back to Ducroft.""Pardon?""We're already divorced and your family is a ducal family now. You can return to Ducroft. You'll have the freedom you crave and the respect of the members of high society.""I am already a Duchess in my own right and I am respected by the highest authority in Polivia. Tell me why I should return to Ducroft, your majesty.""It couldn't be easy to be a Duchess in another kingdom. Ducroft is your home. You can always return home.""Ducroft stopped being my home
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 111: Intimidation
“Get off me, Bastian.”“You’ll teleport home if I do!”“Of course, I will. You’re lucky I even decided to stop by. I can’t stay forever and you can visit me whenever you want!”“It’s not the same!”“Princess Temara, please take your husband away.”Instead of intervening, she was dying of laughter, like she always did. Natalia caught a glimpse of something in her body and a small smile stretched on her lips. She was able to pry Sebastian’s hands off her body as carefully as possible, handing a couple of documents to him. “I need to return home. If it’s anything urgent, I’ll be back as soon as possible.”She snapped her fingers and she was gone much to the complaints of her brother. She appeared in her room where Marvis was waiting. He walked up to her and sniffed her, recognizing Sebastian’s scent. “You should rest,” he said, taking off her jacket. “Unfortunately, I cannot afford that luxury at the moment. I need to check up on the town.”“Just rest for a few minutes before we depar
