All Chapters of Becoming The Wife Of a Grand Duke: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Regina looked at Cellin sharply, piercing her heart like a needle. Cold sweat ran down the butler's forehead. "Why are you sweating?" asked Regina with a suspicious tone and an intimidating look. "I just feel hot." Cellin fanned her face with her hands, trying to hide the nervousness that was setting in. Regina got up from her seat and walked over to Cellin, who looked increasingly agitated. "Are you really not hiding anything from me?" Regina pressed hard on Cellin's shoulder, making the maid feel threatened. "That's right, I'm not hiding anything from the lady." Cellin shook her head quickly, even as her pupils fluttered and her breathing became labored. "Are you beginning to forget your true master? Too long under the protection of the wrong person!" Regina whispered directly into Cellin's ear, making the servant's heart race like a bird trapped in a steel cage. "I have nothing to hide!" stammered Cellin, her body shaking with fear. "Tell me!" scolded Regina, her face flus

A few days later, after the incident had made Regina even more depressed, she did not know what to do. Her feelings were not okay after learning the truth about Jake, who had no evidence to back up his words. "I'm going to tell Dad everything!" Regina shouted excitedly. But just as she reached the door, Elizabeth blocked her way out. "Where are you going?" she asked sarcastically. Her stepmother clutched her chest and stared at her intently, leaving Regina astonished. "What's wrong?" Regina asked back. "Come inside with me." Elisabet pulled Regina into the room, then shut the door tightly to keep anyone from entering. "What are you going to do?" Regina pushed Elisabet's hand away roughly. "Why do you seem to hate me so much when I've been so kind to you, always thinking of you as my own biological daughter, just like Selina!" she muttered under her breath. Where does she get off thinking of me as her biological daughter when she knowingly replaced me! Regina cursed inwardly.

"Don't take everything! You can only take a little, just to beautify the hall, so it's not too barren!" Regina ordered with a sigh. Of course, Regina had no intention of making the garden barren, especially since it was the first place the guests would pass through. She could be offended because only the party room was beautiful, but the garden was barren, with no flowers at all. "You pick the less visible parts of the garden so it's not too obvious that we picked them. Do it quickly, because we have to arrange the flowers beautifully," Regina said loudly. All the servants nodded their heads and smiled with satisfaction at her instructions and immediately followed her orders. Regina continued to stare at the hairpin she had found earlier. "Later, when I'm done with all this, you'll pay for what you've done." Regina grinned at the corner of the room and decided to sit in the chair Merry had brought her. "Sorry, miss. We didn't know what else to do, so we had to disturb the lady w

"Sorry?" Regina asked, not hearing the words of the stranger. "My name is Hertia Mertian," he replied. "Hertia Mertian? Oh my, I apologize for not recognizing you, Grand Duke! But since we're dancing, I couldn't greet you properly," Regina said, feeling guilty. Regina regretted not recognizing the Grand Duke who was at the party now. Indeed, the man standing in front of her, Regina had never seen in her first life. She had only seen him in the newspapers, and even then, the portrait of the Grand Duke was very unclear. So, she only knew his name, never having seen him in person. Even during her time with Merry, she only caught a brief glimpse of him. "I forgive you, because you were the one who was once betrothed to me!" Hertia’s words made Regina shocked. She had never heard of this before. Neither in her past life nor in her current one. But why was the Grand Duke saying that they had once been betrothed? "I've never heard of that, so maybe you're mistaking me for someone els

Selina widened her eyes in surprise at Deptian's punishment. "Count, you know that Selina is still a child. This punishment is too much-" Elisabet's words were cut off. "That's why she's always throwing tantrums! I hope you're not questioning the punishment I gave Selina, your daughter!" Deptian snapped in annoyance. Deptian shooed the two women out of his office as the man sighed heavily. Regina smiled triumphantly; she felt so happy. "I hope you don't dwell on things like this for too long," Regina wished to her father. "How can you not think about it? Because at first I thought your relationship was very good, so I didn't worry too much about you. But it turns out I was judging the wrong person," Deptian said, rubbing his face roughly. "It doesn't matter, Father. Humans are not perfect creatures, so it's only natural to make mistakes. You don't have to be discouraged," Regina said, trying to encourage her father. Even though those words meant more to Regina, she had made ma
