Kissing The Wind Chapter 50
The day that she officially entered the Duke's household as an adopted daughter, there was no celebration at all. It was only a dinner and only she and the Duke were present. Lady Geneva and Catarina had gone outside to eat. Not that Sydnee mind it, but she was uncomfortable when the maids standing at the side kept on staring at her. The butler standing behind the Duke cleared his throat. "Congratulations to you, my Lady. You are a Mondragon and no one should look down on you."Sydnee raised her head and stared at the butler. He was looking at the floor and slightly bowing his head on her. Sydnee gulped. She did not expect the butler to show his respect on her, specially when he threatened her when they went to the ruins. "Uh..." she sighed quietly. Suddenly, the Duke put his utensils down and gestured to the butler. One minute and there was no one around the dining room except for her, the Duke , and the butler. The Duke looked at her and spoke, "When they look down on you, they a

Nobody listened to her and she was not surprised. She let them threw insults to her and waited until the hype died down. It did not took too long. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, someone cleared their throat. "What do you think you're all doing, class?" The classroom went silent. Sydnee turned around to see the adviser standing by the entrance. She was one of the people who Sydnee respected in the school. She was considerate and never looked down on scholars in the academy. The teacher looked at her and smiled apologetically, "Do you want to take a shower first?"She did not want to make things difficult for her adviser so she nodded. Just as she exited the classroom, she looked over her shoulder and smiled coldly at her classmates. "I'll be back," she said and followed the adviser towards the gymn. She did not know that when she left, the atmosphere inside the classroom plunged into coldness. Rogie was no longer studying in the academy, and the princess Isa was absent. They

"What? You will not take responsibility for what you did?" Catarina scoffed. "Who else is the cheap sister of mine who stared longingly at my blue sapphire necklace last night?"Sydnee's brow raised at what Catarina said. She just wanted to grab snacks in the kitchen, but Catarina blocked her and accused her of stealing a blue sapphire necklace that the second prince gave to the girl. "I don't know what you are talking about," she flatly denied and walked pass by her. She just took a step forward when her hair was grabbed from behind. "H-Hey, let go!" "You deny it, huh? Thief! Give me back my necklace!"Sydnee's scalp went numb from Catarina's tugging. She pushed the girl away, but she yelped when Catarina held her hair tightly, not letting it go even for a second. A mouthful of curse came out from her mouth and she held Catarina's hands. Then, she twist the girl's wrist. Catarina yelped and jumped away from her. Sydnee huffed and arranged her hair. She had started her swordmanship

Sydnee narrowed her eyes on Selena. The girl was standing not far away from her. She could not help but to be vigilant around her. There was something amiss with how Selena always disregard her title as Young Miss of Obando. "I want them to stop this bullying habit," she said and looked away. Selena chuckled. "Sure you are, but it's no use. These fellas would not stop their habit because they were taught to treat people with low status as trash. You're just wasting your time, Young Miss."Sydnee drew a breathe and looked down on the girl who was still sitting on the ground. She snorted and walked away. She understood what Selena was trying to say, but at least, she saved someone from humiliation in that day. Not like what she experienced when she was still of low status, when no one from the group of noble was kind enough to interfere with the bullying. Now that she was given the chance to stand above the bullies, of course, she would do something about the bullying. She could not

When Sydnee arrived home, a huge crowd of commoners was gathering outside the huge mansion gate. The driver slowed down the car. Not long after, the crowd was dispersed by the head maid servant of the house. Then the car entered the gate that was opened up for them. "What happened?" Sydnee asked the head maid servant when she hopped off the car. The maid lowered her head in greeting and answered, "They just want to see the second prince, Young Miss."Sydnee raised her brow and looked at the commoners outside of the gate. There were still some of them lingering around the corner, but majority was dispered already so she was not worried. Then she looked at the huge mansion. It was then that she saw how lively it was. She smirked. So the second prince visited Catarina again? Was it an ordinary visit or a way to intimidate her? Nonetheless, Sydnee walked inside the mansion. What greeted her was the smiling second prince and Catarina. The second prince resembled the King a lot. It was

"Oh. I never thought that royals would spare time to visit a noble's house in a regular day," Selena said, while munching her lunch. Sydnee told Selena about the second prince's prejudice against her and his frequent visit in the duke's mansion. She had already saw Selena as one of her friends beside Isa. ALthough the girl's background was suspicious, but she knew that Selena would not do anything bad for her. She could feel the sincerity of the girl so she was comfortable telling the girl about the duke's mansion. "I don't know what the prince saw in Catarina, though I don't really care." Sydnee sighed. "But Catarina kept on pestering me and accusing me of being a thief when I don't know about the things the prince gave her."Selena's ears perked up upon hearing Sydnee's words. She cleared her throat and simply reached for her drink. "And then the prince believe what your sister was spouting?"Sydnee smiled helplessly. "What else could I complain? Catarina was good in acting as a

"You said that Rogie and his twin brother Renald were sons of the King?" Sydnee clarified. Her eyes widened in surprise upon learning the secret of Rogie's identity. Selena nodded while she reached for a slice of apple. They were still inside the clinic and the nurse earlier had given them sliced apples to munch on. "Rogie and his twin brother was born of commoner mother, a servant of the king," Selena said while watching the funny expression of Sydnee. "Just like Isa," Sydnee muttered under her breathe. Seriously? How many illegitimate sons and daughters do the current king have? Selena laughed. "Hey, don't think too much. It was not a secret that royals do have illegitimate children but nobody would dare to openly discuss it unless they want to be beheaded.""Right," Sydnee chirped, but she also asked, "But such coincidence that I knew them both. And I forgot about them too."Selena shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe because your mother Diana and Rogie's biological mother were half-

Sydnee was standing together with her classmates who wore big smiles upon their lips. The day had come that they had completed highschool. She was nervous and ecstatic at the same time. The duke did not attend her graduation day but the butler by the duke's side was with her. He kept on reminding her that she should not be nervous, but the more he reminded her, the more nervous Sydnee was. "Alright, alright, I got it," Sydnee said and sighed. She waved her hand to let him known that it was her turn to receive the highschool diploma. She walked towards the stage. "Congratulations!" The director said to her and smiled. She received it with a smile and stood steadily on the stage to let the person below took a picture of her. Then she stepped down from the stage. "You're beaming too much. Please hide your smile or else I won't see a thing!" Selena joked when she was back to her seat. The girl was sitting beside her and was teasing her since earlier. Sydnee rolled her eyes. "Stop th

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
