“Introducing Lady Vivia Hazel, her son, Sebastian Adamantine, her first daughter Natalia Adamantine and her second daughter, Adelie Hazel,” the chamberlain announced as they entered the ballroom. They walked in confidently, ignoring the comments the nobles said as they came in. they were nothing short of rude and uncourteous, mostly about the divorce and a surprising other child. Before they reached the Queen, there was already a rumor of an illegitimate child from the nobles. “Congratulations on the occasion of your birth, your majesty. By the great spirits, you will live a long and healthy life,” Vivia said, bowing appropriately. “Thank you, Lady Hazel. I didn’t really expect that you would show up and with your children no less. I admire your strength.”“Thank you, your majesty. It’s really comforting, knowing that you understand how I feel, especially after I was betrayed my the one supposed to love me.”Natalia tried not to smile, knowing what her mother was doing. As the Queen

“Did you intentionally interrupt our dance?”“Why would you think that?! I only came to give you food! Honestly, you’re such a sister lover!”Natalia froze upon hearing that. If it was the Sebastian of her past lives, then she woud’ve believed it. But if it was the Sebastian she knew now…“You’re just jealous that I’m closer to Natalia than you are. It’s okay. If you kneel and call me teacher, then I can teach you how to get closer to her.”“WHAT?! That is preposterous! I am already her sister, I don’t need to…”“PFFT! HAHAHAHA!” Natalia burst into laughter. She never thought she would hear something like that from Adelie’s mouth, especially since she spent the last two lives trying to kill her. “Why are you laughing?”“Oh, nothing. The both of you are just so adorable, I couldn’t help myself.”“W-What?! What do you mean Adorable?!”While the argued, the door opened again but this time, it was their mother. She heaved a sigh of relief and walked to where Sebastian was standing and sa
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 131: A New Future
“Over there! They’re finally here! I can’t believe they really came to this party. Do you think we’ll be able to talk to them?”“You want to be able to talk to them? In your dreams. People like that are only meant to be admired from afar. People will curse you if you try to separate one person from the group.”“But won’t they eventually end up getting married?”“Shhh! They’ll hear you.”Loitering by the entrance of the mansion of Count Selene were a particularly noticeable group of people. Not only were they visually appealing, they also had very distinctive achievements in the continents. Despite the fact that there were a lot of eyes on them, they still behaved naturally.“That dress looks nice on you, Alana. I told you, you can never go wrong with Borisque boutique.”“Just relinquish control over my wardrobe, okay? I think I’m old enough to choose what to wear by myself.”“If you show me you can wear what is befitting of a future Queen, then I shall relinquish all control over your
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 132: Cursed Artifact
“Such a boring party. Maybe I should’ve stayed at home,” Fredrich complained.“I thought you were burdened with the endless paperwork at home and decided to come here. I told you that you didn’t have to come.”“How could I possibly miss the swarm of women trying to catch Sebastian’s attention and his scathing rebuttal whenever someone says anything bad about you and your sister? No, this is far too entertaining.”Natalia shook her head, her hands still moving nonstop to sow the pattern at the edge of the handkerchief. Fredrich observed her curiously, knowing she wasn’t the type to do this sort of thing. She was making it for Marvis, seeing as the letter M was sown in with blue thread. “I heard he has a wall where he hands these in his room.”“Have I really made that much?”“I imagine this is what you use the endless stores of fabric gifted to you from the Merchant Association for. Well, it is quite cute.”Natalia looked at him with disbelief. In two past lives, he couldn’t stand sitt

“Your next transaction is in Polivia. I don’t think you look well enough to travel. Should I reschedule?”"No, I will attend to it regardless. We will get ready to travel soon. Have you told the head butler that I wish to see Grandmother?""Yes, my lady.""Then I shall go to see her."Her assistant looked worried but Natalia had more important things to worry about. She walked to her Grandmother's office and saw a familiar face there. She gave a courteous greeting. "Hello, Lady Edna Hazel.""Natalia. You still greet me formally like we aren't cousins.""You are the future family head. I can't address you any other way." "You are putting a conscious distance between us. Not only that but you don't socialize with the other family descendants unless you're mandated to. Are you trying to say you're not interested in a part of this family's inheritance or are you trying to say we're unworthy of your presence?""I had no idea my actions were interpreted this way. I have barely been home t
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 134: Feels Like Home
“Welcome to my humble home, Ambassador Natalia,” Duchess Everon bowed. Natalia didn’t know Vera became the Duchess at an early age but was glad to see a familiar face. The Everon estate was exactly like she remembered but it was still very grand. She responded to her greeting. “Since you have concluded many deals over the years with her majesty, she says there’s nothing to worry about in you buying land in the North. We will be joined by her highness later on but for now, I will be entertaining you.”“Then I will thank you in advance. You call your home humble but it is really grand. I have always admired the women of Polivia who have the freedom to do what they want with their lives.”“You’re the first person I have seem from another kingdom to have this kind of views. Most people tell me a woman should never conduct business or rule a nation but my kingdom has existed for a long time because of a woman and has outlived several kingdoms, including the original Berden Empire we used
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 135: False Memories
“I ran into her in the garden and was finally able to have a normal conversation with her. It turns out we have so much in common. Isn’t that wonderful, Natalia?”“Real wonderful. You didn’t need a push after all. I’m happy for you.”“You don’t look or sound very happy. Is something the matter?”“It’s nothing. I’m just a little tired.”“Well, you have been working yourself sore these days. It’s like there’s something you want to accomplish in a hurry. It’s worrying to see you like this. If there’s something you want, maybe I can…”“Thank you for your help, Fredrich but the only way you can help me is if you find what I ask you to. Have you found it?”“Well, I’ve found a few locations and ordered for them to be searched but I haven’t found what you asked me to. If you can tell me why…”“Until I find it, I won’t be disclosing everything. Since you have been able to have a proper conversation with her, shouldn’t you be sending a letter?”“This back and forth isn’t going to help us, Natal
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 136: Powerful Intruders
They appeared in another cave which wasn't much different from the one they just left at first. But as they went deeper, it felt like their magic was being sucked away. They stopped halfway and started to investigate their surroundings. "I didn't find any magic circle or symbols etched in the walls." "I didn't find any either. There's nothing pointing to the existence of a man draining pattern.""That means whatever is draining our magic is deeper in the cave. Whatever it is, we have to be prepared to face it," Amaika said, starting to seal their magic. Marvis shook his head vigorously. "You're thinking of going further in?! No way! We're finding a way out of here and going back to Natalia. There is no way I am going deeper into the heart of a mysterious cave that drains even fairies of their magic.""Whatever is in there is drawing me. I cannot contain my curiosity. You can find the exit with Cheese if you wish.""There is no way we are separating from each other. What if somethin
