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
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 112: Divine Bird
“Where did you go, Master?”“I felt something strange so I went to check it out. A god descended to the earth,” she replied casually like she was stating the weather. Amaika’s jaw hung. It wasn’t often that anyone got to see a god but she nonchalantly did and returned with a scratch on her face.“Did the god do that to your face?”“Hmm. I asked her to prove she was a god and she unleashed her aura on me.” “Master, you could’ve died!”“It would take a lot more than that to kill me. Don’t we have a lot of work to do? We still have an inspection scheduled for…”The space in front of them distorted briefly and Madaline walked out of it. She walked right up to Natalia and touched her face.“I will rip off those limbs that did this to you.”“I’m yet to understand the kind of relationship you have with Uriel and why you hold so much anger towards her and not the dragons that have been actively hunting your kind for centuries.”“I hold a grudge against anyone actively involved in Nataroth’s
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 113: Hard Labour
"...the construction has not run into any major problems. We did the construction just as you asked but the plans for expansion may clash with the construction of the city walls and gate. In the first instance…your grace, there's something in your hair."Blue light flashed around her hair. It was very obvious that there was something in her hair and it made the contractor unable to concentrate. "You can ignore Cheese. She has decided to use my hair as a nest."The contractor wanted to say her hair did indeed resemble a nest but he valued his life. He continued to give his report, occasionally glancing at her hair which lit up with specs of blue light. As he was distracted with her hair, she was distracted by a particular werewolf who decided to join the construction of his own accord. He looked happy, chatting away with his kind while lifting things that would be hard for a normal person. "Are you having any problems with the labourers?""No, your grace. They are working better than
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 114: Silent War
For some reason, even if they had a trade agreement, there was friction between the kingdom of Ducroft and the Empire of Illumine. It happened when an old man was trying to cross the border into the Empire and he was shoved to the ground by the guard. The citizens of Ducroft caused a huge riot and it had to be settled by the special forces of Ducroft. Because of the treaty, war couldn’t carelessly start but it was on everyone’s lips. While this was going around, people started to hear about the modern town being built in Polivia. It was the first of its kind but it promised to be a completely industrialized town. It prompted some people to travel to Polivia just to discover what industrial meant. “I have lived a long life but I haven’t met a conniving person like you.”“Should I take that as a compliment, Grandmother?”“Perhaps,” the old woman replied, chuckling. They were having tea on the balcony of the huge mansion, looking down at the servants unloading the carriage filled with
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 115: Forced Change
“Duchess Natalia, can…we talk?”Natalia stopped and turned to face Princess Temara. She had a troubled expression on her face and Natalia could almost instantly tell it was her fault. Out of all the people there, Natalia found Princess Temara the most difficult to deal with. She felt a bit guilty towards her but more than that, she was always swept up in the princess’s pace because she didn’t know what to do about her. “Of course, your highness. Please lead the way.”The two walked along quietly, one visible anxious and the other so accustomed to hiding her emotions, set her pace as she walked. She wished so dearly that she was in Marvis’s company but the werewolf had become busier than she was. They finally reached the balcony where they could chat uninterrupted. “I am naturally not a fan of rumors but recently, there have been very…troubling rumors that defame you. I just wanted…”“I will make a vow to you now on my soul that I will not steal the throne of your mothers neither wil
The Duke's Unwanted Wife Chapter 116: Anti-Hero
“MOTHER!”“You made the right choice, your majesty, you can rest in peace,” Natalia said, picking up the decapitated head. She cradled it to a chest, closing her eyes. Temara continued to scream, held closely by Sebastian. Fury burned in Madaline’s eyes but no one moved. “You’re a hard mortal to persuade. Maybe next time, I will go for that one,” Thiton said, pointing at Sebastian. Natalia’s blood ran cold. She lifted her head and glared at him. Thiton felt his entire body tremble feeling her glare on him. “Leave.”The gods left just as quietly as they arrived, the headless body finally falling to the floor. Madaline snapped her fingers and the body was wrapped up. Natalia stood with blood on her gown, staring into space. Temara lunged at her, wanting to tear at her but stopped when she heard her tiny voice. “Madaline, did I…make the wrong choice?”Madaline sighed, conjuring up a handkerchief to clean her bloody hands. “I don’t know. Whatever they’re up to, they won’t give up unti
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 117: Cunning Tactics
"What…did you say?""I had a hunch but Madaline confirmed it. Do you even know what a Divine Bird is?""You better explain it to me properly.""Fine. A Divine Bird is one of the direct descendants of the goddess Nataroth and as such, they can control time and space. This is obvious in the way they cannot age or die. At some point in history, the Divine Birds became the Werephoenix and started to live like mortals. If the Divine Birds were ever killed, just like Destiny, time and space will be fixed in place. If this happens, then world order will be rewritten easily and magic may cease to exist completely.""But you said they cannot die.""They are not supposed to. However the original god of Nature Egerth can kill things that are supposed to be immortal since being immortal is innately against Nature." "Will it really be a problem if Magic ceases to exist? Polivia doesn't have a lot of magic and we are doing fine.""You're wrong. Polivia's economy almost completely depends on Mythri
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 118: Painful Goodbyes
The grand halls of the Church of Ducroft were silent and solemn. The inner halls were particularly off limits to visitors, home to several rooms that the Saintess carried out various rituals. The room was tightly guarded by several guards and several attendants stood by the door. All of them seemed to ignore the peculiar noises and light flashing beneath the door. The noises abruptly stopped and the door opened. Adelie walked out, covered in sweat, making the white gown she wore transparent. The side of her lips down to her gown was dripping with a suspicious red liquid. None of the guards dared to look in her direction as she wasn’t wearing anything under the gown. She turned to the attendants by the door. “Clean the mess up,” she commanded, accepting the blue cloak they held. Without saying a word, they filed into the room while she walked in the opposite direction. Two guards flanked her, one handing her a scroll. “A summons from his majesty, huh? Well, I guess some things never
