The Duke's Unwanted Wife 59: Aldie's Hollow
“It’s a pity Lord Sebastian isn’t able to participate in the campaign. I heard he is planning his wedding in Polivia. Has he even heard about his sister’s condition?”“He has most likely not heard or he would’ve rushed down here. It’s a pity the Grand Duchess cannot observe the campaign this year”“It’s not like there are a lot of exceptional ladies we can dedicate our kills to. I heard Lady Borisque recently got engaged. I pursued an engagement with her but her family refused me. But I was surprised to see she was engaged to Lord Orland. I thought he would be with the Third Princess”“The rumors about the Grand Duke and the Third Princess haven’t exactly died down. If the Grand Duchess dies today, perhaps the third princess would become the next Grand Duchess. Who would like that sort of entanglement?”Although the noble men of the kingdom prided themselves on being dignified, they also liked to gossip when they had the chance. Of course, they didn’t like to call it gossip. But the l

{So, why did you wish to come to Aldie’s Hollow?}“Fairies are natural hoarders of pure mana which means you have a few rare plants growing here. I’m here for the blue five leaf clover”{Not that I wouldn’t give you but why do you need something like that?}“I realized something early on. Fredrich could ascend at any moment. He confirmed it that not even death could take me from under his control. So, I want to make an effort too”{The Blue five leaf clover is a good herb but the pureness of the herb can cause an opposite effect. Are you sure you still want to consume it?}“Since you’re growing it, you know how to utilize it, don’t you? By the way, I am curious. Why haven’t you ascended yet, despite living for such a long time?”{The answer to that question, I can’t give you today. But meeting you, I think I have regained my motivation so I am thankful for your presence. I will ask someone to harvest a few for you. Why don’t you come in?}“Thank you, Madaline”The Basilisk’s territory
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 61: Peaceful Death
The rumors about Sebastian grew worse and more malicious by the day. From him bausing his connnection to the first princess to abuse his workers to him treating everyone as if they were beneath him because he was from the kingdom of Ducroft. Temara was worried about him but he didn’t stop, imposing more daunting deadlines on the workers and carrying out his plans speedily. The person that was meant to stop him, Amaika, was focused on something else, something they considered important. Finally, the day they anticipated seemed to have arrived. The pieces of their plans had come together and they had come to present it to the Queen. There was a commotion in the Queen’s palace as Temara and Sebastian walked there together with the laborers who drew carts to the Queen’s garden. “To cause quite a commotion, I do hope you have something reasonable to present, Lord Sebastian” the queen said, her cold tone tinged with curiosity. “I am sure I would be able to impress your majesty. If you wo
The Duke's Unwanted Wife Harsh Realization
The magnitude of the chaos that seized Ducroft when the Grand Duke announced he was taking over was by no means small. The borders were shut down, the capital was put in a lockdown and the nobles were forced to pick a side. If it was in the past, there would have been a few loyalist to oppose the Grand Duke but as more crimes of the Crown Prince came out, everyone submitted to the Grand Duke. Marvis watched all this happen from a distance. With the commotion, it wouldn’t be weird if his master had already heard what happened. He did have to go back to report but it wasn’t a problem if he didn’t go right away. Since he was already in the Forest of Telra, he decided to go to check out the Werecreature’s village that was being built. With how long he was gone, it should’ve been completed.He traveled for four days, making it there with only tracing the scent that was unique to werewolves. Since there were werewolves with them, he would be able to find them. He finally exited the forest,

“What are your plans now, your grace? They haven’t yet found out that we stole your body but once they do, there would be guards everywhere,” Countess Quartz said, handing her a cup of tea. Natalia collected it, taking a sip from it. Her sense of taste was returning gradually and her body was still very sensitive since she just left a state of near-death. “We would leave for the Empire of Illumine today,” she replied, putting the cup down on the table beside her. “You want to reach the Berden Pass from the Empire?”“Yes. The territory bordering the Berden Pass in this kingdom belongs to Marquis Bellam. If we pass through such an open place, I would get returned before I realize it. Going from the empire where no one knows us would be better. All you two have to do is escort me over the border”.“You don’t want us to follow you to your destination?”“I made a promise and I won’t go back on my word. The moment I get on the carriage heading for the northern part of the Empire, we would

“Your grace, who is that?”“I need a quiet room and no disturbance for the next three hours”.Whenever Natalia didn’t give a definite answer, it was a sign that she didn’t want to be pressed. They were quite surprised to see her come in with a body floating right behind her. They couldn’t recognize the person which made them wonder who he was and where he came from if he was even a he. Natalia was unable to use her healing powers properly because of how little mana she had left so she summoned Madaline. {Werecreatures are rarely this fatally injured. Most of them were wiped out but this one is particularly resilient}“Can you heal him?”{I need a medium. Do you still have the medicine I used to heal you?}“Yes. Here it is”Natalia stood aside and watched Madaline heal Marvis. It was a complex possess she couldn’t interfere with but it was interesting to watch. It was different from the other types she had seen and she could feel it especially now that she was rapidly losing her natu
The Duke's Unwanted Wife Speculations
“You don’t have a fever and your pupils aren’t dilated. You should be completely healed soon. How are you feeling inside?”“Why?”“That’s not really an answer. Do you feel unstable inside?”“I’m asking why you saved me.”“A favor should be repaid in kind, shouldn’t it? You saved my life, I saved yours,” she replied plainly as if it was that simple. “Do you even know the gravity of what you’ve done? If you keep harboring me, then you won’t be safe! You don’t even know who I am!”“Then, do you know who I am? You don’t think it’s strange that we met in Ducroft and now we’re both at the border town of the Empire?”“What….do you mean?”“Marvis Jane. A personal knight of Crown Prince Reagan of the Empire. A Werewolf capable of mass destruction and the secret weapon of the crown prince. Am I right?”“How did you……?”“It’s funny that despite being the personal knight of the crown prince, you still haven’t recognized me. Well, maybe it’s because I’m supposed to be dead.”“I am very confused r
The Duke's Unwanted Wife Marvis's Helplessness
The journey to the north was somewhat peaceful because of the route recommended by Marvis. Most of the Empire was developed so the roads were carriage accessible. They got through the security checkpoints quite easily but there were an abnormal amount of Security checkpoints and with the questions they asked, it was fairly obvious they were looking for Werecreatures, most especially Marvis. With the increased security, it wasn’t long until someone figured out who she was so she decided to take the rest of the journey on foot. She was almost at the north and was fully recharged on her energy so she decided to use teleportation and take her time to tour the Empire. In the days of the war, the borders of the warring nations were totally destroyed by either side. The north got the brunt of it, becoming an unrecognizable wasteland. Before the war, it was a quiet peaceful place that relied on agriculture and tourism, especially through the Berden Pass. It took her a total of a week to fi
