The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 49 - Pick One for Yourself
During the walk to the west wing, they encountered many distinguished guests, comprised mainly of young gentlemen and gentlewomen, all handsomely dressed to impress, especially the young women.Melissa glanced at them and noticed they all seemed to sport the same kind of hairdo, the one Lily had tried on her earlier. Many of the girls wore long drop curls which were arranged in a group of ringlets falling to the neck or bosom on each side while their front hair was brought smoothly down from a centre parting to the ears.Melissa wondered who had come up with such styles, it's too baby-dollish to her liking.The men courteously greeted the Prince and the young ladies threw flirtatious looks at him while extending their greetings. All of them cast a curious glance at Melissa. Melissa's attire, make up and hairdo was entirely different from the rest of the ladies present, making her stood out among them. Not that she cared, she didn't plan to blend in with the rest of them anyway. In fac

"Your Highness, Your Grace, how do you do?" A sweet voice suddenly sounded from the side and both of them turned to see who it was.Lady Anastasia and Princess Katherine were seen approaching them, followed by a group of noble born ladies, mostly unknown to the two men.Seeing that it were these two women, Prince Xavier and Duke Kensington turned rigid and they both cursed softly at the same time, "Shit!"At the sound of that, they instantly looked at one another, sharing the same look of disdain.Prince Xavier simply gave a curt reply, while Duke Kensington merely nodded to all of them, not sparing a single glance to any of them. He took a sip of his drink and diverted his attention to look at Melissa who was chatting with the Queen. Princess Katherine saw this and she was furious. Lady Anastasia took the chance to initiate a conversation with Prince Xavier. She had gone to look for him earlier but was informed that the Prince was with Lady Melissa. Lady Anastasia at first wanted to

"Oh, that's Lady Anastasia, isn't she?" An older woman who was present at the Queen's table suddenly commented. The Queen had earlier introduced her as Countess Geraldine."Yes, she's going after the Prince I presume." Another one, Lady Davis, chuckled when she saw the young girl hurrying to catch up with Prince Xavier. "Your Majesty, probably she will be able to snatch him this time around. You might have a daughter-in-law soon!" Countess Geraldine said, making the rest of them laughed including the Queen."Well, I already have one now, so it will be good to have another in the family." The Queen patted Melissa's hand while she said that.Melissa's gaze immediately followed the lady who was walking behind Prince Xavier. 'So this is the one. Her target is still the Prince.' "Duke Kensington is so lucky to have such a lovely girl as his intended. Dear child, how are you two getting along?" Countess Geraldine asked kindly. "We're doing fine, Countess." Melissa said, she blushed unkno
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 52 - Anastasia's Scheme
Sensing something was wrong with the whole situation, especially when the other party was Lady Anastasia, Melissa immediately stepped forward and pushed Lady Anastasia away with all her might. She quickly said to Duke Kensington, "Zachary, the Prince seems unwell." Lady Anastasia, who was pushed away suddenly, quickly came to her senses when she saw the two people who had appeared. She immediately agreed and said, "Yes, yes, the Prince is unwell. I found him like this and tried to help him." She looked at the woman standing between her and Prince Xavier and her fear was replaced by venomous thoughts. Anastasia felt like strangling this woman to death right now. She had meticulously planned the whole thing. Now with the bitch's appearance, she had ruined everything for her. Nonetheless, she needed to save herself first, if not she would be punished severely if the Queen knew what she had done. Duke Kensington who was holding Prince Xavier turned to look at Lady Anastasia and th

In his study, Lord Benjamin was pacing back and forth, his head was throbbing.Earlier, he had left the garden party when Duke Kensington took Lady Melissa away. Some ladies tried to cozy up to him before he left, but he had lost mood to entertain these brainless women. All he could think about was Lady Melissa. However, not long after he reached home, his sister came back and stormed into his study, blurting out some nonsense that she had done at the palace, that too towards the Prince! He tried to calm down but when he looked at this stupid girl in front of him, he felt like tearing her up into pieces. "Ana! You're so stupid!! Why would you do something like this?? Do you really think you can get away with it, even if you succeed? The Prince is not foolish to accept the marriage based on deceit! You don't think he would figure it out?!""Oh my God Ana, Father and I suggested this garden party to create an opportunity for you to approach and charm the Prince, not for you to scheme

The Queen remained quiet the entire time Duke Kensington narrated the whole incident to her. She closed her eyes when Duke Kensington finished speaking and asked softly, "Is Xavier doing well?""Yes, Your Majesty. The doctor said he will be fine by tomorrow morning." Duke Kensington assured her."Do you think she did it alone or her family is also in on this?" Queen Serina asked for her nephew's opinion. If the Blackwells were all involved, she would not hesitate to condemn them with treason."The Earl might not be the most righteous person but he will not resort to underhanded tactics like this. As for Lord Benjamin, his only flaw is his passion for women. Other than that, his integrity and principles are unquestionable. He's been my nemesis in business for years, we always compete fairly without any problem." Duke Kensington said carefully."What a pity. A young woman like her actually did something terrible like this. All because she wants to marry Xavier." Queen Serina shook her h
