After dinner, Duke Kensington asked for Lady Melissa to accompany him for a walk in the garden, while Prince Xavier took the liberty to engage the little boy in a game of chess. Earlier, Duke Kensington had quietly informed the Prince that he intended to speak to Lady Melissa about the matter which the two men had discussed earlier. Realizing the importance of this affair, Prince Xavier acquiesced and took Lord William with him.Duke Kensington guided Melissa around the garden and they both sat down on a nearby bench together. "My Lady, how are you feeling now?" Duke Kensington asked lightly."I feel fine, Your Grace." Melissa answered, looking ahead. She wondered what did the Duke want to say to her. He even sent William away with the Prince.Being an astute person herself, she noticed the subtle actions between the Duke and the Prince earlier, indicating these two were somehow in cahoots with each other. As to what were they planning, Melissa couldn't figure it out."You can just c

"Oh Melissa!" Duke Kensington instinctively pulled her into his embrace, unable to resist this innocent young girl.She felt so good in his arms, he felt her warmth and he could smell her subtle floral fragrance. She didn't resist his embrace, which prompted Duke Kensington to take a deep breath and slowly released her. He looked into her bright eyes and slowly leaned forward to kiss her. Their lips met in a gentle caress, the warmth of their breath mingling. Electricity sparked as their lips brushed lightly, sending a shiver down their spine. Not sensing any reluctance from her, Duke Kensington became bolder and kissed her harder, forcing her to catch her breath. However, the moment her lips parted slightly, the Duke immediately seized the chance and inserted his tongue in her mouth. His tongue seemed to dance with hers, each moving melodiously together.Melissa started to kiss him back, with her hands grabbing his jacket and drew him nearer, eliciting a moan from the man. Her hands

The next morning, Duke Malcom and Lord Melvin reached the palace promptly at 10 to bring Melissa home. Before she departed, both the Queen and Duke Kensington had a private talk with Duke Malcom to discuss about the postponement of the wedding. Although Duke Malcom couldn't really comprehend what's the real reason behind it, he was equally glad that his precious daughter would be able to stay with the family longer. When they reached the main hall, Lord Melvin could be seen arguing with Little William. "Take your hands off my sister! She's coming home with me!" Lord Melvin could be heard saying to Lord William, while pulling Melissa's hand."No! My mother is coming with ME!" Lord William stubbornly held onto Melissa's legs, unwilling to let go. "Who is your mother? This is my sister!" Lord Melvin refused to back down.Prince Xavier, who was standing by the side, had a look on his face which one couldn't fathom. It could be annoyance, anger, bitterness, sadness, it's simply amusing

"Can I visit you at home? Don't worry, I will let you know in advance. If you're not available, you can inform me." Duke Kensington asked with anticipation. "Yes, of course. Please bring William too if he's free. It's not convenient for me to visit him at your place, so I would really appreciate it if you could bring him over instead." She smoothly extended the invitation to William as well, so that cheeky little guy need not beg his father for it.'Ah..William again. As expected, she wishes to see William more than me. Anyhow it doesn't matter as long as I can see her too.' Duke Kensington lamented in his heart, consoling himself. He nodded indicating his agreement and she finally left with her family."What did he say to you, Mel?" Lord Melvin couldn't suppress his curiosity."He wanted to visit me at home. He will bring William too." Melissa curtly replied. This brother of hers clearly had a knack for gossip!"What?? He's bringing that brat to our house? Hah! No wonder he said th

'Arrgh! Who's that now? I just got back for God's sake. So it can't be Zachary or William right?' Melissa turned, clearly displeased and asked coldly, "Who is it?""It's a messenger, and he said he's instructed to see you personally to hand over the parcel." Lily said quickly."A parcel?" Melissa asked curiously and got up to meet the messenger.A young boy was seen standing nervously outside the main gate, awaiting the intended recipient. Sir Andrew was standing in front of him, guarding the boy who was obviously scared by his domineering aura. How dare he asked to meet with his Mistress directly! The nerve of this boy! However, looking at the parcel in the boy's hands which looked so exquisite, he didn't dare to throw the boy out. What if the parcel was sent by Duke Kensington? Although he looked scared, the boy had stubbornly refused to divulge the identity of the sender, making Sir Andrew more frustrated with him."Sir Andrew! Let him in." Melissa called out to Sir Andrew.Upon re

"Brother, did you meet the Queen? What did she say? Did she agree to it? When can I marry the Prince?? This year??" A barrage of questions were thrown at Lord Benjamin as soon as Lady Anastasia came in.He frowned upon seeing her eager face. 'Why can't she just be like Lady Melissa? She doesn't even have an ounce of her gentleness and charm. How is she a Blackwell??'"Ana, seriously, is there even a time when you don't think about the Prince? Is that all you care about? Don't you want to do something more useful in your life?" Lord Benjamin questioned his sister. "Haha! I'm an Earl's daughter. Mother said I just need to marry someone wealthy and be the lady of the house. If I can be the Prince's wife, I will have everyone at my beck and call at all time. Isn't that great?" Lady Anastasia boasted to her brother. Lord Benjamin took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, lest he might unleash his long burrowed anger towards his only sister.

Duke Kensington took her hand and kissed it. "I'm fine Your Grace. Thank you for visiting me today with William." Melissa said, smiling brightly at him.In fact, if he's allowed to, he would have come sooner, however Melissa had sent a reply saying she's not available these few days.
