With a wide smile, Dominic showed the man a sincere side of him as well. “Thank you for your advise, but don’t worry, I am sure this isn’t anything temporary.” Starvos was quite startled pleasantly to see Dominic’s sincere side and returned his smile while from outside was Rose who had never once left the door. Once she had stepped out of the room, instead of leaving, she had chose to stand near the door, eavesdropping to their conversation through the small gap she created. She leaned on the wall, sighing as it appears that sooner or later the truth about Dominic being cursed will be known to everyone. But deep in her heart, she would have wanted everything to end without anyone knowing about it. Her fingers reached out toward the ruby on her neck as she thought of how she need to discuss about the contract more in details with Mona soon. The faster it is, the better. Meanwhile, in the next morning of Essex. In rush, the maids rushed in the castle of the duke, they all were busy w
He recalled how her cheeks turned slightly pink from his words and watched as the corners of her lips softened into a smile. When he thought about it all, he thought of how much better if Josie had not find out the truth about him and his actions. If she was always kept in the dark, she would never once left his side, just like now. And even though he had ordered for Isaac to search for Josie, truthfully, he wasn’t sure what he would do upon seeing her. His heart needs to see her face but he didn’t know what he truly want from her. Isaac who saw his face then spoke, “I know of a magic that I could teach you.” Shawn looked intrigued by what Isaac had to offer and nodded his head, “What magic?” “Brainwashing magic. This magic will allow the person you want to always follow your order willingly,” Isaac didn’t have to continue to reason why he had offer the magic to Shawn and for who it could be used to but Shawn understood his reason well. He immediately shook his head, “That’s not w
The maid then knocked the door, entering in after she heard Shawn’s permission. With her hand in front of her waist, she announced, “The Duke have arrived back home, sir.” Shawn looked at his mother who looked beyond joyful, “See, he arrived. I will make sure to talk to him about you,” Shawn then pushed himself from the side of the bed, making his way down the hallway and the long staircase before finding the carriage that he could see from the foyer. In the brown carriage then walked out the old man whose face was no different than a statue. He didn’t appear similar to him at all even though they were father and son but then again the Duke didn’t look similar to Dominic either, thought Shawn. He walked forward to his father and instead of exchanging embrace as they haven’t met each other for years, Shawn had instead given him a bow akin to what a servant would do when meeting their master. This was the preferred way of his father that the man had taught during his childhood. When
Recommended song: heartbroken Kiki. .When Jeremiah arrived in the land of Agios, the land of werewolves, he was only but a twenty eight year old young man with a driving passion of power and wealth. What he wanted was not in fact to become the duke, it wasn’t also to inherit his father’s extreme wealth. It was so he could prove to his brothers that they had been wrong about him all this time and he was always a step ahead of them.The people in Agios were all but kind and welcoming people. Unlikes in Essex, they had easily let Jeremiah to enter their land, and even allow him to stay. Jeremiah saw the kindness of the people not as something he should be grateful of, and instead saw this as a chance and opportunity. They were all too kind for their own good, allowing for him to use them as much as he needed.One day while he planned his proposal to the King he saw the girl stepping outside of the carriage and passed by the tea shop he was in. The girl had a white dress in her with a b
Jeremiah had thought this was his best chance but was quickly angered when he saw the ring on her finger. Here he thought she was single but it appeared that she had been married! “Married? No,” she chuckled, her cheeks tinted in a pink color when he thought of how soon she would marry Starvos. While rubbing the red gem on her finger, she said, “I am engaged to my childhood friend. He is currently in war, however.” “Childhood friend?” Jeremiah who felt the big greed for the woman then cackled, “Is it an engagement made by your parents that you are forced to obliged?” “Ah, no?” She tilted her head, wondering why the man had come up to such a conclusion. “Indeed the engagement was made by my parents but I agreed to it. My parents are reasonable and if I had told them no they would listen to it. Though I understand how most people don’t have such a blessed parents.” Jeremiah’s face fell darker, “So you love him? That man?”Elizabeth rubbed the gem again, recalling the day where Starv
After parting his way with Elizabeth, Jeremiah took the entire three weeks to connect with the King. Being one with a clever mouth he at once used the king’s greediness that matched with him to his advantage. He offered the king a sounding and pleasing exchange that the King agreed due to how his eyes was blinded by the wealth Jeremiah had offered. After days being with the King, the king who had taken quite a fondness on him then agreed on letting him be his closest aide until he decided to return back to Essex. Jeremiah who felt more confident than ever watched everyone bowed under him with the King and felt a surge of pleasure. Now that he knows the pleasure of having the authority, he couldn’t help but feel the need to possess more power and become the Duke back in Essex to show his brothers of how wrong they are. He was never born as a servant to follow people but he was born to be above others, leading them. The amount of respect he felt was what he desired. “Everyone stand up
After the incident that occurred in the mansion, the servants as well as Lady Catherine and Lord Salemn was on their toes. It was the first time for people to break into their house and it brought more terror as the people who broke in was not normal humans but the sorcerers who by all means are much stronger than he werewolves with their magic that could manipulate people and even time. Rose who had waited for a time to be alone with Dominic ate the breakfast in silence until Lady Catherine was the first to break the silence, "Whenever you are bored, Rose. Would you like to come with me to a soirée? It will be better if we could go somewhere where we could unwind and have fun with the others." "Of course, I would like that," Rose responded with a smile, quickly bringing back the tone to the breakfast to become more cheerful. "Ah, and Lady Catherine. I would like to give you back the jewelries you gave me for that night." Lady Catherine who recalled the jewelries shook her head, "N
Rose had also guessed the same as Dominic in the beginning but much to her disappointment she had to shake her head. The king had told her that Starvos was away during the possible time when Lady Elizabeth conceived Dominic. She could tell how Dominic looked a little disappointed seeing that Starvos wasn’t his father. They both know how better it is for Starvos to be Dominic’s father as they both had seen how responsible and caring the man was. It was difficult for them not to bond with Starvos, not when the man himself treated them like their own daughter and son. Then they arrive at the final question of who could Dominic’s father be.“I would say the Duke would know who your father is,” Rose said to him as she stepped on the crunchy leaves. “If he married your mother knowing well she had you, then… it’s also possible that he knows who your father is.” Dominic looked at the sky and she could see his face that stared at the sun appeared to be in a contemplation, “I don’t want to k
