The Duke's Unwanted Wife 83: Royal Wedding (2)
"I want to offer my sincere congratulations on the success of the royal wedding. It was without a doubt one of the most elegant and elaborate weddings I've ever seen," Crown Prince Reagan greeted the Queen and King of Polivia."Thank you for your kind words, Crown Prince Reagan. We truly couldn't have achieved this without help from our spectacular wedding planner on whose behalf we have been receiving compliments all afternoon," the Queen replied."They must be very talented. I would love for the opportunity to meet them and ask if they could plan my wedding as well.""I would make sure to relay your thoughts to them as soon as I see them.""Are they not present here?""Unfortunately, they had somewhere else to be after the exchange of vows ended so I cannot introduce them to you as of now. But please, enjoy the reception, your Imperial highness.""Of course, your majesty," Reagan bowed, leaving the Royal couple alone after he was politely dismissed. He scanned around for someone int
The Duke's Unwanted Wife Strange Attraction
It was almost impossible for Princess Temara to overpower Sebastian despite having considerable strength. He was able to flip the situation right away and land on top of her, this time binding her hand. They breathed heavily, looking into each other's eyes. "Your highness, you…..""I knew it. You're regretting this marriage.""Of course not. Please don't misinterpret my actions. Just listen to me first. I don't regret this marriage. This…..is my first time being intimate with a woman. I….don't know what to do. I don't want to embarrass you."".....Seriously?" ".....yes," he nodded, averting his eyes shyly. He let go of her hands and moved aside and let her sit up. The purity standard was not as strict in Polivia as it was in Ducroft so the women had the freedom of expressing themselves sexually in Polivia. In Ducroft, only the men could express themselves sexually with freedom. Even with those circumstances, Sebastian, the paragon of sexiness, wealth and attractiveness, had never to
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 85: The Great Era of Theater
The construction of the theatre was finally completed a few days after the wedding. Natalia, who spent the last few days with Marvis in her quarters, hiding from Reagan, inspected the construction with Sebastian's and Amaika's help. She prepared for the launch while she hid and when the day came, she was finally back out in public. Several people had been invited to the launch, including the foreign dignitaries.The nobles gathered in front of the magnificent structure with a large signboard with a calligraphy that read 'Adamantine Theatre'. It was clear who it was named after and many of the nobles had a mixed reception. The Queen had already laid it bare when she told them about it but everyone wasn't quite sure what to expect. A large ribbon separated everyone from the building. Sebastian held a a pair of scissors in one hand and his wife's hand in another as he gave a speech that was originally prepared by Natalia for herself. "I want to thank you all for succumbing to your curi
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 86: Reagan's Persistence
"Duchess Everon, why do I have the feeling that you're avoiding me?""I couldn't, your imperial highness! We always attend meetings together.""But you never leave an opportunity to meet you separately. It makes me feel uncourteous for meeting you like this. I was hoping we would get along.""I couldn't possibly hope for something like that from your imperial highness.""That's something people say when they don't want anything to do with me. This is the second time I've been rejected by a woman. It's a little painful." "How could I reject your imperial highness? It's nothing like that, really. There's a big difference in our stations so I cannot be that selfish as to ignore that. I cannot jeopardize my kingdom's chance at allying with the great Empire of which your imperial highness is the crown prince.""You speak quite well. All the women of Polivia are very outspoken. I feel like you'd make great wives.""Thank you for your compliment, your imperial highness."Polivia was one of
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 87: God Trial
“You have only just ascended yet you want to do a god’s trial?”“I didn’t think there was anything wrong with that. Does your infinite wisdom find something wrong with this?”“I can detect sarcasm, you know. I understand wanting to do a god’s trial but why are you coming to me? You couldn’t possibly be asking me to do it, could you? No, no, no, no! I refuse!”“Quene, you’re the god of wisdom. Who else is more qualified than you?”“I stopped doing god trials thousands of years ago. Even if gods came to me themselves, they always complained about how harsh my trials were. I lost a lot of worshippers because of that. I’m sorry Madaline but I can’t help you.”“Quene, you might not be an original god but you’re the oldest elder god. The very first to ascend. Why is it that you behave like the least of the gods?”“Isn’t it because I’m the god of wisdom?"Don't wisecrack with me. You need to do this trial. You're the only God I trust in the heavenly court."".....fine. Give me a few days. On
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 88: Transcendental
A very long time ago, on the same continent, there was an empire ruled by the gods. The humans depended on the gods and the gods depended on the humans. It was a very mutually beneficial relationship that seemed to work for everyone, on the surface. Oftentimes, the mediator was the queen of the gods in her infinite wisdom. However, as time went by, she realized that the only solution to the endless problems in the Empire was to withdraw the influence of the gods and close the heavenly court. This was met with fierce resistance from both gods and humans alike. They were too codependent on each other, especially the ascended gods. The original gods all agreed with the queen, seeing the disturbance in nature they tried so hard to preserve. However, even with her infinite wisdom and her infinite power, holding the world in her hands, she wasn’t able to stop the eventual collapse of both the heavenly court and the empire. {After I failed to ascend and died, there was a huge gap left in
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 89: How Important?
“Your actions are very questionable sometimes but they lead to great results. I know you put great trust in me by showing me this. There hasn’t been any Transcendental in our kingdom in many years. You wish to protect your kingdom in exchange for the title of Duke?”“Yes.”“Why should we trust you? How do we know you won’t betray us like the former duke and current king of Ducroft, your husband?”“I don’t have answers for the future, your majesty. I do know that this is important for the both of us. I guarantee it. And please, your majesty, he is not my husband anymore and I’m nothing like him.”“I’d say…..you’re rather impressive, Lady Adamantine. I wondered why they were hiding you so desperately. It turns out, it’s you. The precious flower of the capital, Natalia Adamantine. An honor to meet you, my lady.” Frma corner of the throne hall, Crown Prince Reagan appeared like a poltergeist. He looked mighty pleased with himself, even though the Queen looked mighty displeased with himse
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 90: Heat
Marvis stared emptily into the air. He had been stuck in a corner of the huge palace for the past few weeks because Crown Prince Reagan refused to leave. He of course liked Natalia’s company but he missed walking out in the open air. He was a social person who especially enjoyed the company of his kind. "Why do you look like you were kicked out in the rain?" Amaika asked, bringing in a tray of food. Marvis glanced at it but didn't stand up to eat it. He sighed, laying back on the bed."I feel like a circus animal.""A circus animal performs. You're just wasting air and food.""It's not my fault I'm stuck here! Lia ordered me not to go out of this room until he leaves!" He yelled, exasperated."I think it's tragic that we have to tuck our tails and hide when someone like you has the potential to become more than you are. If you continue hiding, you won't be able to unlock that potential. I feel sorry for you.""Ugh, if you want to say something, say it! Stop sounding like a wisecracki

The Duke's Unwanted Wife Epilogue
Upon hearing the cry of a baby, their hearts of multiple people became calm. The mother had been in labor for a total of two days, trying her hardest to push her babies out. The second followed the first closely and they were both taken out to be cleaned. The father of the child had been there the whole time, clasping her hand as tightly as she clasped his. He kissed her forehead and watched her until she fell asleep from exhaustion before going out of the room. "Is she well? Are the babies well?" He was bombarded with questions as soon as he came out. He nodded, smiling. Messangers were sent out immediately. The royal heirs of Polivia had been born. Natalia had always asked herself this question: What would a timeline without me look like?Since she was never born, her mother didn't have to go through the pain of bearing another child. Her relationship with Marquis Adamantine became better, she made the step to reconnect with her family and she went on to have a fruitful married l
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 159: Completion
They readied their weapons, holding their breaths. Fighting ascended gods was vastly different from fighting original gods. The weakest was Madaline, who was both lacking in the number of wings she had and an ascended god. Luckily, her barriers were the strongest in the world. “Wait. They’re just looking. It’s like they’re waiting for something or…someone.”They looked down at Nataroth and saw that giant white wings were sprouting from her back. She was growing larger by the second, soon dwarfing out the space. She stopped growing and focused her eyes on them.{My children. I…have returned}Marvis figured out the patterns and used the teleportation portal to get them to another room. It was relatively intact like the other rooms and it didn’t look like it was affected by the blast. But after seeing the coffin in the middle of the room, they soon realized why. Just as they were about to figure out their next move, Denitra fell into Marvis’s arms. They thought it was intentional until
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 158: The Revival
Even in the spirit world, where nothing was solid, the ground began to shake. The coffins that surrounded Nataroth opened of their own accord and a thick miasma formed on top of it. The bodies in the coffins rose, slowly climbing out of the coffins. Maowry watched this all unfold with fear in their heart. “You can still stop this, Maowry. They are still vulnerable.” “Even if I can, why should I, Uriel?”“You’ll regret this!”“I am regretting this but I want to see how far this can go.”“MAOWRY!”They ignored her, looking at the bodies slowly coming closer to her. They walked like the undead, unstable and unstoppable. In a way, they were undead but with the large spell, not for long. They could recognize the magic being used and the obvious bending of world order. However, there was something they didn’t recognize, something that transcended both magic and world order. It was the reason why the spell was working in the first place and there was only one god that could use it; Natarot
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 157: Madaline Vs Non
The fights between the gods raged on. If they met on neutral grounds, Maowry versus Uriel wouldn’t be a one sided beat down. However, Maowry’s powers were fading because Thiton and Madaline kept shattering the ancient barriers of the spirit world. Madaline also had to repair those barriers immediately so Thiton was able to get some blows in. “Why won’t you just roll over and die?! You have always been a pain in my neck and you keep making aggravating decisions that bring us to this point every single time! What is wrong with you, Madaline?”“The way you speak Thiton, makes it obvious that you are obsessed with me. That’s worrisome. I cannot let a disgusting creature disguised as a god profess his love to me that loudly. Why don’t you just die?”“You’re delusional. Your attachment to Nataroth even though you’re an ascended god just like us shows how much of a hypocrite you are!”“Coming from the person who killed me?! That’s laughable. You, of all people, are claiming to care for the
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 156: Three Months
“Lovely, isn’t it?” “I feel like you’re ignoring me. It is lovely. Is that made from purely cotton?” “Yes, it is. You love even lovlier in it, your highness. The wedding is soon, is it not? I cannot wait to be there.” “What about you? Why won’t we attend your wedding? Come on, Lady Natalia. You know you would look absolutely beautiful in a wedding dress.” “I hate wedding dresses.” “...I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything.” “I’m not angry, Princess Temara. I know how much you care about me and I know how much you love my brother. Honestly, it worries me. Would you really slit your throat if he asked you to?” “...of course not.” “Your highness, you hesitated. Well, it doesn’t matter because he would never ask you to. Like I was saying, I understand why all of you are worried about me. Yes, I know you’re all behind that door. But I know what I’m doing. I’ve been doing it for a long, long time. But if you don’t all trust me to make the right decision, then is it really love?”
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 155: Natalia's Truth
In Madaline’s palace, there was a direct portal down to earth. Sylph and the fairy sent to rescue her were ready to send her soul back but it was too damaged to travel whole. They had no other choice but to wait for Madaline or find an alternative. It was difficult to patch a soul and not just any god could do it. If they waited any longer, it would affect her chances of escaping significantly.“Shouldn’t Madaline have returned by now? What’s taking so long?!”Back at the platform, the gods were amazed. The fight was on a different level than the one they watched earlier. Two of the most powerful gods going head to head without fear. The first weapon they used, they had both broken them even though they were items not built to break. They were fighting solely with magic, causing all forms of natural disasters. The sky began to darken all around the world, alarming the mortals. Madaline's magic was focused on barriers. No matter what anyone did, you couldn't get past her barriers. Her
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 154: Martial Law
"Grandmother!" Natalia dashed into the mansion, heading to the living room first. She found the butler and he told her she was in the office. She could finally calm herself and walk into the office. "Grandmother, you really came.""You have a very nice office, Natalia. This old woman is jealous.""I can make the exact one for you. I'm just curious. Why are you here?""Sit, we need to talk.""I'm terrified. If this is about my marriage, you need to give me more time…""This is not about that. It's about your inheritance.""You came all the way here for that? You could've just asked me to come to you. It must be more than that.""Yes. Why did you bring a hostage and ask the plan to be sped up? You know how sensitive the whole thing is! You didn't even tell anyone else about it and now you want to hasten it out of nowhere! What happened?""The hostage is critical. I had to put her away so she wouldn't affect my plans. Two, there isn't much time left. Even after I went back in time two
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 153: Alana's Goal
“W-What do you mean the god of death and destruction?!”“Yes, what do I mean indeed?” she just smiled, looking at the body in the casket. He just stared back at her with his eyes open. "I was very lucky to find him, you know. Gods are not just objects you find on the side of the streets. I actually built this whole thing because of him but not for him. He belongs in another world so you have to be curious as to why he's here. He won't say anything though which is disappointing.""Are you insane?! That is the most dangerous of the original gods!""I doubt he is as dangerous as Nataroth. Anyway, now that I've shown you my treasure, let's take you to your room, shall we?"They left the room, the doors locking behind them as they left. The boy laying still in the casket rose to sit up and stared unblinkingly at the door. As they faced down the two royal heirs, a servant came running out from the mansion, handing a letter to Sebastian. He frowned and burnt the letter immediately. "You w
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 152: Dungeon
After dinner and settling her friends and hostage into her home, she could finally rest. She soaked herself in the tub, feeling the knots in her body loosen. There was also the fact that she was being massaged by little fairies that fluttered excitedly around her. She sighed with content. "Do you like it that much?""Hmm, it's nice. Did you miss me, Madaline?""You worried me but you really came back without a scratch. Berinda is Uriel's territory so I cannot intervene at will. I'm glad it went well.""No, I got attacked and that's why I have a hostage. Now that you say it, she's probably Uriel's Saintess.""You took another god's Saintess?! Since when did you start acting so recklessly?""It was not a reckless or juvenile decision. You know what my goal is. By the way, I have a question.""What is it?""If Adelie is Ducroft's Saintess and Denitra is Uriel's Saintess, does that mean I'm your Saintess?""No, it's not you. It's Marvis's mother." "How cruel. You could've reserved that
