The Alpha King's Little Bride   96
Unlike the preceding days, the aura in the manor was dissimilar. The wind made a swoosh, causing the interior of the building to become frosty. Despite the atmosphere, the climate portrayed a dazzling day ahead. The Heaven's eye; sun, shined with no sympathy. It gave the sky a wonderful sight to look at. One might begin to marvel at the climate blend.With no skepticism, the weather depicted the combination of a pleasant and awry day. Something was about to go wrong.*******"Good morning Her Grace." Mild knocks landed on the door. Without getting a reply for a while, the knocks were repeated. This time around, they were loud and firm, followed by a femine voice. "Good morning Her Grace. I'm sorry to disturb. Are you still in bed?" The Duke rose and stretched in a weary manner. He had this feeling of being elated but was not sure. He concluded on blaming the new day. As he decided to turn, his arm brushed against another arm. He turned sharply and realized that Emily laid on the same

"Beautiful morning, His Grace. How have you been faring?" William asked.As if they were robots built by the same inventor, Edward and Mr Brown had the same facial expression. It was clear they were shocked to see William. The Duke and the old butler looked at themselves synonymously and looked back at the human in front of them. Realizing His Grace was too surprised to speak, Mr Brown helped out. "Good morning William. This is actually a surprise visit. What do you have in stock for us?" He blurted out. He truly wanted to know the reason the Duke's brother paid a visit. But was not sure if the Duke's brother will give a reply or not. "Mr Brown, good morning. I'm glad to see you." William said, looking round the house with both hands at his back. Mr Brown was obviously not expecting the response. "Glad to see me? If at all he is happy to see anyone, it should be Her Grace. After all, he is into her and wants to have her to himself." Mr Brown talked in his head. He knew about Willia

In Bedford, the atmosphere was completely distinct from that of Snowhill. The sun shined aggressively while displaying its beauty. Its rays hurt the residents of the land, making them complain of how they are unable to go out without a coverage. Regardless of the complain, they still appreciated it.The sky had been weeping for several days, with loud and thunderous sounds. It made it difficult for the people to conduct normal meetings, go to the market place, attend parties and resume their of work and businesses. So seeing the sky smiling with a special member of the heavenly bodies, gave them opportunity to be grateful. *****In the house of one of the Baronets of Bedford, Emily father's, the atmosphere was one a person could refer to as, dull.The house was not as big as the Duke's manor. Without contemplation, one should be able to decipher the reason.Being a "Baronet", was not a title one could actually be proud of. Infact, it was the lowest of all noble titles. This title, wh

"Could he have done the job?" While riding on the horse, Edward kept on thinking of the death of Arthur. He could not bring himself to think that James had killed the boy so quick. He gave the horse a big whip, which made it increase its pace.On getting there, he looked around as though he was being watched and gently alighted from the animal. He patted its back as of saying "Good job". The animal, understanding what the Duke had just done, nodded in its own way. The Duke smiled.He proceeded slowly to the entrance of his friend's house. While walking towards the building, James sighted him. "Good morning my noble companion." He said, bringing out his arms to give Edward a hug. "What has brought you here without notice?" He, then, gave him a tight hug. As he did this, he realized that Edward stiffed his body, not wanting to hug him completely.Placing both of his hands on Edward's arms close to his shoulders and staring at him, he said "Is there anything wrong? You got some news fo

"Her Grace" Victoria said, as she knocked the door lightly. Upon hearing her voice, Emily replied and told her to come in. Entering the room and observing the mood, she walked down slowly to where Emily was seated, the bed. She looked at her, trying to know what was wrong. Emily had two faced expression on her face. This made it difficult for her best friend to get what she was feeling at that point in time.Looking around as if being watched by someone, she said "Emily, you called for me. What is the matter? I can see you are not okay." "Please, sit." Emily said quietly as she demonstrated by tapping the bed with her right palm. Victoria looked at the bed and sat slowly. "Emily, is there anything you want to tell me?" She asked her close friend. Apart from the day the Duchess's mother died, she had never seen her in that manner. She looked down and disappointed. "I do not seem to understand. There are a lot of things happening in this manor and I can not help but be surprised." Sh

The Duke followed Mr Brown to the barn. It was already late at night and so they took a wooden lamp along with them. Mr Brown got to the barn and signaled for them to sit. Edward obeyed and sat. Despite the fact that Mr Brown worked under him, he still showed respect to the old man. He had been working for his father before he kicked the bucket. He had also been taking care of he and his junior brother, William ever since they were little. With several sacrifices, the old butler had taken his time to train them well but William chose the wrong part to follow.Thinking of all the good and bad times they have had together, it made Edward love the old butler even when he gives certain attitudes."Mr Brown, what is the matter?" Edward asked as he sat slowly on the wooden box that was used by the stable boy. "Your Grace, I am sorry for disturbing you after meal. I just needed to relay some essential information to you." the old butler replied, looking at the Duke. While saying this, he al

Emily woke to the singing of the birds near her window. She turned slightly to the opening that made the sun rays shine brightly into the room. The light from the beautiful day's gift made her cover her face with her right hand. "Urgghh, it is too bright!" She exclaimed.As she was about sitting upright, a hand out of nowhere put down the drape."Why would the sun ever think of hurting you?" The voice said. She turned immediately and was about jumping up from the bed when she saw Edward.On seeing him, she sighed and relaxed back on the bed."Were you that scared?" Edward said, sitting near were she was lying and rubbing her forehead. She mumbled something he did not hear. "Good morning my Queen. I hope you are better now?" Edward continued. "Good morning His Grace." She replied, sitting up again. Looking at him, she asked "How did you know I was not okay and where is Victoria?""Victoria is carrying out her duties in the kitchen. She reported to me this morning about your welfare. S

"Wow! The sky looks radiating, making it difficult to take my eyes off it." Emily said, swinging her hands sideways and making claps. It had been a while she felt genuinely happy and refreshing. With all that had been happening, she had been in her space, scared to come out. But was helped by her best friend's comfort and definitely, her husband, the Duke. Hannah, who always stayed behind her, followed her slowly. As the housekeeper walked having both of her hands in front of her, with her fingers interlocked, she observed the Duchess. "She looks peaceful and free. I think she is already getting comfortable in here." Hannah thought. "Hannah." Emily called. "Yes ma" the housekeeper answered, moving to her side. "How long have you been here?" the Duchess asked. "For thirteen years, Her Grace." Hannah said as she bowed slightly. "You have actually stayed here for long." Emily added, facing her. The housekeeper responded with a nod."Which means you know a lot about the Duke and his fa

Emily raised her head from the table, feeling pains around her neck area. With her eyes still closed, she touched it slightly and groaned silently.Opening both eyes, she looked around and realized she was still in the restaurant but it was late at night. "It is already late?" she asked herself and got a reply fr the old butler who just came back from the gents. "Yes, Her Grace." he replied, walking up to her slowly. "And where is His Grace?" the Duchess asked, showing how annoyed she is through the expression on her face. "I do not think he will be..." Mr Brown had not finished talking when Emily hit the table so loud that everyone in there, turned to take a glance at what was happening. "What do you mean?! I have waited for him and yet, he is not going to make it to this place?" Emily asked angrily.The old butler did not know how to calm her down and so he just stood without uttering a sound, arms at the back, heads down.Seeing the old butler not responding, she annoyingly carri

The royal guard quietly walked into the manor which he had seen the Duke's younger brother in. Looking around, he gave a voiceless sound at what he saw. He could not help but put his hand over his head and shake it for what seemed like forever. The structure of the manor made him wonder if it was Williams that owned it or another person. He, then, looked at the floor to see if he could sight a stick for clearing the bush that prevented him from passing.On catching sight of one, he picked it immediately and used it for the purpose. Swinging it, he made way for himself into the manor. "What type of building is this?" he said as he shook his head. He stood in front of the manor in an akimbo position. Sighing, he decided to enter into the manor. Surprisingly, the door was opened wide and this made the guard stop and look back. "Is there not anyone staying here? Why does it look so quiet?" He asked himself as he held the handle of the door. Summoning courage, he entered into the buildin

"I want you to help me monitor the Duke's younger brother, Williams." Mr Brown said as he put his hands in his pocket. The statement uttered by the old butler surprised the total guard and made him open his eyes wide. "The Duke's younger brother? Why?" he asked."I will explain everything to you later on. Just make sure you check every movement he makes and steps he carries." Mr Brown said. "Oh, Okay. I will do just that." the guard replied, bowing his head slightly. They, then, moved back to the living room to join the rest. Going inside, they met the old housekeeper, the Duchess and Duke walking down the stairs. "We will get going now." the royal guards said, smiling to the old butler. "Okay." Mr Brown answered. The royal guards headed to the entrance and left. Turning to Mr Dewhurst, the old butler walked to where they were seated. "Sister Emily!" Beauty exclaimed and ran to her sister who was also running towards her direction. "Beauty!" Emily shouted, hugging her younger sist

"Was that how he got to know about black magic?" Edward asked Mr Brown who was seated near him."Yes. And he hid it from your brother." Mr Brown answered. "Do you know why?" the old butler added, facing the Duke. "No, I....." Edward, then, looked at Mr Brown intensely. The old butler looked at him as if saying "you really do not know?" The Duke looked back at the floor and suddenly tapped his lap twice."I know! Because Williams will use it for his bad purpose." he said, looking at the old butler. "Exactly, His Grace." Mr Brown said, nodding his head. "So if he had the opportunity without my father's help, he would use it against everyone right?" Edward asked. "Yes and also use it against the person that denied him that opportunity." the old butler concluded. "That would mean death....right?" the Duke asked, slowly looking at the ceiling and immediately to the old butler. "Yes." Mr Brown replied. At this point, Mr Brown needed the Duke to get the point he wanted to prove to him. "H

The Duke and Mr Brown got to the manor in no time. This was because they whipped the horses to run faster. Now that they had a proper clue of what they wanted to deal with, they individually made up their minds to end the whole situation."Finally, we are here." Mr Brown muttered as he came down from the horse. He called the second stable boy."Yes sir." the boy answered. "I need you to call the royal guards for me. Tell them it is very urgent." the old butler said, as he rubbed the horse's back. "Okay sir." the boy replied, running as fast as his legs could carry him."Have you told him what to do?" the Duke asked, approaching the barn. "Yes, His Grace." Mr Brown responded. "Good." Edward said, looking into the woods."What do we need to do now?" the old butler asked. "We just need to find the killer since we are this close." Edward replied. "But first, there is something I need to show you. Follow me." the Duke added, going out of the barn and heading to the manor. "Okay His Grace."

"If I were in his shoes, I would have dealt with the Duke severely. But I would not let it be obvious that I am the one carrying out the acts. It would just be like an insect, eating up the vegetable from within." Hannah said firmly. Emily looked at her, opened her mouth and waved one of her fingers in the air as if to say something. Hannah thought she had offended the Duchess and immediately knelt to beg her. "I am so sorry Her Gra...." She was about finishing the statement when Emily interrupted her."No no, that was not what I meant. Please rise." Emily said as she assisted the housekeeper to stand by using both of her hands. She held her shoulders tight and said "Look Hannah, you have really helped me to see what I needed. I can not walk on this journey alone." the Duchess added."I need your help. I would explain everything to you." Emily said as she quickly dragged the housekeeper by her hand and ran as fast as she could. "Her Grace, I do not seem to understand what is going..
