Kissing The Wind Chapter 31
I nodded and did as what I was told. But before I hopped in, I looked around and no one was watching us. Then Anthony strode in front and entered the driver's door. He drove the car out of the academy and onto the highway. The afternoon breeze entered the car as I rolled down the glass of the passenger's window. I closed my eyes and savored the chilly wind caressing my exposed face. "Where do you want to eat?" Anthony asked in a sudden. I opened my eyes and look over my shoulder where I saw the side of his face. He was facing the road ahead. I brought my face back outside the window and shrugged my shoulders. "We will be eating outside?" I asked. "Yes." My eyes trailed on the stall of finger foods beside the dusty road. "What if someone from the academy see us eating together?" It took him a few seconds before he spoke again, "Another town then." And before I could protest, he speed up the car towards the outskirt of the town, driving farther from the business district where the

"You hate me for not telling the truth?" I snorted. "Not at all. I was just upset but I don't blame you either. I was just a peasant living in your house and you're not obliged to reveal yourself wholly to me. My reaction was just..." I trailed off. "Some outburst. No hard feelings." He sighed after he heard my words. "Glad to know that. But don't think of yourself as a peasant. You're not a peasant." A smile crept onto the side of his lips. "And we arrived. Welcome to a part of my life, Sydnee." And true to his words, the car halted to a stop.The restaurant he was talking about was the grandest restaurant I've seen in my entire life. I gaped in shock. Golden lights shone in each lamppost and guards were standing and roaming around the whole building. I saw the great signage and the blue hues from inside shone before my eyes. We walked towards the huge entrance of the building. The guards near the door snapped their heads in our direction. Seconds later, they stood erect and greet

My gaze lowered on the wooden floor. "Maybe I am. Ever since father was put to prison, I came to loathe places like this." "Why?" "My mother." I inhaled sharply. "She loved places like this. And I could not stand this kind of... kind of wealth." I brought my gaze up and I met his. My eyes squinted, glazed. "Anthony, who really are you?" Silence passed between us and he turned his head sideways, avoiding my gaze. He then spoke words that brought me to my knees. "I am the Duke Regent, the high ruler of Consolacion."Even if I did not plan to, I wept in front of Anthony. He was taken aback by my outburst and he hastily helped me to stand up. "Sydnee," he cooed and pulled me to his embrace. His arms wrapped around me and I felt the warmth he brought to my body. "Don't cry." "You are a duke," I whispered, barely audible. My fingers curled on his chest. "How did you end up in my town disguising as my math teacher?" He broke away from the hug and stared at my face before he said, "I'm ju

"But I heard that you release him from prison recently." Lisa's father snorted. "Rogie won't marry my daughter unless I release that bastard. Ask your good godson, Lady Geneva." The woman whose name was Geneva turned to Rogie. "Is that true?" Rogie nodded and did not say anything. Lady Geneva squinted her eyes on me. "Girl, you are very brave. I applaud you for standing in front of us. But Rogie had married Lisa. And they will live under one roof from now on." "No." Rogie shook his head. "I won't live with Lisa and that's final." Rogie's father squinted his eyes. "She stood in front of officials. It's a disrespect, son. Do you want Sydnee to be punished or you'll live with Lisa?" I felt Rogie tensed at his father's words. I gulped hard. Before one of us could protest, someone entered the partisan and stood beside me. "Sydnee is just a kid who knows nothing. Please excuse her disrespect to the rulers of this land." I looked sideways at Anthony. There was no smile nor a sign of

My body tensed and I felt Rogie's stare bore onto my back. Anthony looked at Rogie and I saw a small smile crept onto his lips. "Congrats on your wedding. But you should attend to your wife." I could hear Rogie's whispered grunt from where I stood. I knew that Anthony's words hit home. He snorted. "You surprised me. At least tell me that Synee will be here." "It's a last minute decision." Rogie did not argue with Anthony anymore and just bit his goodbye. But when he walked passed by me, he tapped my shoulder. A tingle spread down my spine as I watched him walk away. Anthony's grip on my hand tighten."That's it." I huffed and opened the passenger door but Anthony held my wrist. I turned around and tipped my head back to look into his eyes. "Stop meddling with us." His lips twitched and let go of my wrist. "He's married." "I know." I looked away and crossed my arms against my chest. "We just talk about Lady Geneva and her husband." His forehead creased but he did not insist agai

"I bought you a dress." I stopped chewing and looked at him. He was busy on his plate but I noticed his occasional glance on me. When our eyes met, I knitted my brows. "Dress?" "For prom." He reached for the glass of water and took a sip before facing me. "Next week. I bought a dress for you." I looked on my plate and my cheeks felt hot. I thought he would reprimand me for ignoring him in school ground but I did not know that he wanted to talk about a dress. And I was still thinking about Rogie's appearance in prom. I kind of reluctant to go since he is coming and maybe Lisa too. "What are you thinking?" Anthony asked. I shrugged my shoulders. "About the dress, I have money." He just grinned and said nothing. We spent the next minutes eating and thinking of our own affairs. But I noticed how knitted Anthony's brows were. I cleared my throat. "What's wrong?" I asked. He looked at me and then shook his head. "Nothing." He resumed eating. I looked on my plate and finished the food

Third POVNot long after, the party started. There were a lot of activities but unlike Isa who actively participated, Sydnee just sat on the corner while silently watching the ongoing activities. Her eyes squinted when she saw how Isa accidentally kissed her guy partner when the latter tried to lift Isa.She bit her lip to prevent herself from laughing. Isa had her brows furrowed and her eyes frequently throw daggers to the guy who held her. When the contest was over, Isa and her partner did not win which made Isa frustrated. When the guy realized how bad the girl's temper was, he immediately fled to the crowd.Sydnee's lips curved into a sweet smile when she saw Isa walking back to her direction. Then she looked around again. Anthony was still nowhere to be seen."That bastard!" Isa cursed under her breath then looked at her. "You should participate!"She shook her head. "Sit down and watch them play games."Isa snorted th

A deafening silence echoed in the sorrounding. It made Sydnee's breath hitched. She swallowed hard and waited for Anthony to speak but the latter did not show any emotion. He just stood there, silently watching her. "Umm..." She looked away and tried to ease the uncomfortable feeling in her chest. "I-I like you. Don't misunderstand that. I just want to say ---" "Sydnee," Anthony stopped her then he looked away, just like she did. "It's cold. Let's get inside." She spent a few seconds before she look at Anthony. The latter was looking at the black horizon in the distance. Sydnee lowered her head. "I want to go home." Sighing, she turned and took a step towards the parking lot. She knew it. Anthony was not into her. And why should he be? Sydnee swallowed hard, blinking away the tears brimming in her eyes. There was a pang in her chest but she ignored it. She knew that she and Anthony would not... Footsteps were heard in the cold night and leaves were rustling around her. She knew t

Three years later...Sydnee frowned when she saw Nikolai dressed like a hooligan. The small body was covered by a thin black silk that was a gift from the Crown Prince. After Anthony went back from the convention, he brought great news that the two kingdoms had decided to end the war and signed a bilateral agreement. It was all due to Anthony's strength in persuassion. The king then asked what Anthony wanted as a reward, and being a sly man, he asked the King to grant him Sydnee as his wife. In the same day, Sydnee received an edict about her marriage with Anthony. Duke Theodore was not as surprised as she was because the duke had a bet with Anthony, that if Anthony would bring good news from the convention, then the duke would not obstruct his plan to marry Sydnee.A year after she was married off to Anthony's household, Sydnee bore him a son who had a great resemblance with Anthony. This called for a celebration. Since then, when Nikolai would celebrate his birthday, the maids wo

The group of criminals who had ran away went inside a shabby inn. They were running like a madman without stopping for the fear that the guards would catch up with them.It was also the place that the group agreed to meet with the lider of the spies in that night. The assassin looked around and only the old woman who was busy playing with the abacus was present inside the inn. "Hey, old woman!" the assassin yelled. "Give us something to drink!"The old woman paused and brought out a tray of cold drinks from the bottom of the counter. "Here. Twenty cents."The assassin brought out twenty cents and distributed the cold drinks on to his companions. He then motioned the one who was near to the door to check outside. After a few minutes, the man came back and shook his head. The assassin grinned. Those slow royal guards could not catch up with them? Hah. What lame guards!They planned to spend the night inside the shabby inn. The group just sprawled on the floor, wearied by the things th

The moon was big and round. It shone so bright that the stars could not be seen in the night sky. The night breeze caressed her skin. Sydnee closed her eyes and smiled. The translucent moonlight shone on her blue dress and the tiny crystals shone when the moonlight touched them. In the middle of the night, Sydnee was like a fairy who descended into the world. It was the scene that Anthony saw after he followed the girl. He was glad that Sydnee was granted another title, but he was unhappy to see her dancing with men. He wanted to also dance with her, but he was being watched by both the crown prince and the second prince. He did not want to implicate Sydnee. His foot stopped a meter away from the shining girl under the moonlight. He drew a breathe and called out her name. "Sydnee."When she heard Anthony's voice, Sydnee opened her eyes and looked at the man standing before her in a daze. The moonlight shone on his suit and his eyes emitted a gentle brown light. She smiled and walk

"What did you say, Mom?" Catarina faced Lady Geneva and gaped her mouth in shock. "Did you just say that Dad would make this trash the heiress of the dukedom?!"Lady Geneva hushed Catarina. They were still inside the hall and the place was full of aristocrats and officials alike. It was the day that Duke Theodore would announce his heiress. The royals were also present. "Keep your voice down!" Lady Geneva sighed. "We can't stop your father in his decision. Let's just accept it dear, okay?" Lady Geneva coaxed and placed her hands in Catarina's shoulder."No!" Catarina broke away from the Lady's grasped. "I can't accept it! Mom, I was with Dad all these years! I studied how to become a good duchess, but... but that trash take my inheritance away!""Catarina!" Lady Geneva said and dragged the girl onto the corner where no one was around. "Just let this event go in peace. We can deal with Sydnee later, okay?"Looking into the resolute gaze of Lady Geneva, Catarina finally calmed down.

The king sitting on his throne smiled at Sydnee. "Raise your head," he said. Sydnee raised her head while she maintained her gaze on the floor. She was taught not to meet the gaze of the king as a subject. "Your daughter is indeed a beauty.""Thank you, My King."Sydnee tried hard not to pursed her lips nor to look at the Duke who was standing beside her. She thought that the Duke did not let anyone know that he could talk, except for his confidante. But it turned out that the king knew that truth all this time.It was good that only the King and the eunuch by his side was present in the throne room excluding the two of them. At least the information that Duke Theodore could talk was still a secret. It was nice not to invite unneccessary trouble on the household. After some time, the king granted Sydnee a tutor for both etiquette and education. She lowered her head and thanked the king, although she was indignant with the tutor of etiquette. Did the king think that she still neede

The copy of the video spread across the capital. The eldest miss of the Baronness who were active in spreading rumors about Sydnee paled when she checked the video that circulated overnight. It was her being tangled with the guard last year. Who recorded this video? The eldest miss immediately summoned her maids and talked with her mother. She and Baroness Jenica went into the third prince's manor to ask for help. Meanwhile, in the fifth's prince manor, the maid who picked up the memory card while buying something in the market yesterday was laughing with the other maids. They were maiden commoners who had not seen a naked man and they were fascinated with the 'good' body of the man in the video, They of course, did not know who was the two people doing it in that video, but they enjoyed watching it. It spread in the whole manor and outside of the manor. The fifth prince who were stationed in the border did not know about this thing.When the third prince's lackeys investigated the

After the commotion in the terrace, although no one talked about it during the rest of the meeting ball, Sydnee knew that she was the center of gossip in the nobles' private chats. She could feel gazes from everyone thus she left the hall earlier. "You haven't enjoyed the party yet," Aleksander said while playing with the wine glass in his hand. Sydnee huffed and looked at the man. "Don't follow me. Go back and enjoy the party.""Ah, a pity. I couldn't enjoy it without you." Then he winked at her. Anthony, who was walking beside Sydnee frowned and looked at Aleksander who was on the other side of Sydnee. "Go back, Tamarin."Aleksander gaped, feigning shock while staring at Anthony. "You know me?" "Stop pestering Sydnee."Aleksander put his free hand on his chest and looked at Sydnee sadly. "My beloved Sydnee, I'll go back. The man beside you is dangerous and I couldn't win against him ---"Before Aleksander finished his words, Anthony took hold of his shoulder and threw him back

Aleksander led Sydnee in the corner where there was no one. Sydnee then pull away her hand from his hold. "What do you want?" she huffed. The man looked down on her and grinned again. What on earth did he want with her? Sydnee frowned. "It looks like the duke's favor is on you, huh?" he said. "So?""Be careful with the people around you. You never knew who is secretly watching you."Before Sydnee could utter a word, a man stood beside her. She was startled. She did not notice how the man got close to her. It was surprising because Sydnee was trained to notice every movement in her sorroundings under the duke's command, that's why there was no one who could get past her defense, and this is also the reason why Sydnee could counter attack Catarina in every petty tricks. "Sydnee," the man called. Her eyes widened when she recognized the voice. It was Anthony. Sydnee tipped her head back to look at him and her breathe hitched when their eyes met. Anthony smiled at her. "What are you
Kissing The Wind Chapter 60
The ride towards the capital was peaceful. Catarina did not throw tantrums like she would usually do. Lady Geneva did try to pick on her. Sydnee was glad because of silence. She looked outside the window and watched as their car drove past other vehicles and establishments. It was her first time to visit the capital and she was nervous yet excited at the same time. The duke had asked her to do her best to appear humble and dignified in front of the officials. Of course she knew why. She would be the center of biggest power fractions in the capital and the duke had also warned her about the royals who would set eyes on her. When they arrived at the capital, Sydnee was left in awe while watching outside the window. The teritories like Consolacion and Obando were nothing like the capital. The place was full of buildings that were so high, one could like at the sky to spot the end of the buildings. There were also a lot of people wearing revealing shirts and there was no distinction bet
