Semua Bab Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Willow Baker POVSeveral Days Later"How are things between you and Maverick?" Diana asked.Unlike how I would normally react when she suddenly asked me an unexpected question, I calmly said, "We're fine."Of course, I didn't mention the new sleeping arrangements. Either she already knew about them or no one thought to inform her, and I would rather not be the one to enlighten her any time soon."That's good," she said as she stared at her teacup.I still couldn't get used to this new Diana. There were times where I wondered if this was really Diana or if she was sick. Well, I trusted that Jason had a handle on that and didn't bring it up."I heard you're going to give birth soon," I said to start up the conversation again.When the servants thought I wasn't listening, I heard them talking about how they were excited for the baby to be bo

Willow Baker POVWhen Maverick said he would look into it, he really meant it. The next day, he was already up and at it, looking into this problem with several others, before I even woke up and got out of bed.While it was good that he was taking it so seriously, it was also quite frightening how he could get up so early in the morning with no difficulty. Of course, I had gotten up early before under Rose's employment, but I prefer being able to get up late when I felt like it.There was something freeing about being able to decide when I could go to bed and when I could get up. Of course, in the beginning I had still been used to my old schedule, so I couldn't take advantage of this freedom until much more recently.I couldn't focus on my work as Asa's absence nagged at me. Maverick had taken Asa

Maverick Peterson POVShe was doing it again. Acting like it was her fault that things turned out this way when it clearly wasn't her fault. She couldn't force people to treat her with respect. That would require her to have demon blood.Even in the case she did have demon blood, using the ability would only further ostracize her and expose her to more ridicule. Everyone would want to avoid her or get rid of her as soon as possible.'You know that's not true. As the Grand Duchess, she does have the power to make them stop.''She can order them to respect her, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will."'Fair enough.'It wasn't that

Willow Baker POV"I understand," I said, even though I didn't actually understand.I only wanted to get this conversation over with so I could forget all about it. Winter was grumbling in the background, obviously not pleased with what was going on in my head, but I ignored her.Maverick frowned, but he chose to say, "Good. Now we should get your hand treated. We've been taking up too much time."We turned up at the infirmary to find the doctor busy going over his work. He immediately set them aside so he could check my hand. While he said that it would heal on its own without his help, Maverick insisted I should be given something.Unable to deny the Grand Duke, the doctor applied some ointment to my hand and wrapped it up in a bandage. He gave me a small jar so I could apply it if I really needed it. If I needed anything else, I could always come to him.This was probably the most civil conversation I had with any of the inhabitants outside of the Peterson family. I wasn't sure how

Willow Baker POV"Now that's settled. Shall we proceed with what you intended to do?" said Maverick as he stared directly at me.It was obvious what he was talking about. There was no way I could be confused or shocked, but I was already emotionally drained after this sudden event. I didn't think I could bring myself to face the servants.However, I didn't want to leave it for another day, or rather, I couldn't. The longer I put it off, the worse it would get. The servants' attitude towards me and Asa would be bad already, and it would only get worse after what happened earlier.The three servants from earlier were already being punished and would be sent away. If they hadn't already, everyone in the grand duchy would soon learn what had happened. I had to handle it now, whether I was feeling up to
