Lover While The Duke
#13 Expressing Feelings (Reply Statement)
"I Yanneta Rainhart has long admired Duke. Because of this blind liking I seek information about you as much as I can." Yanneta clearly.
He held out his own two hands. While looking down and stammering, Yanneta started acting emotionally. To support the atmosphere, he occasionally stole a glance at Lionel. Be coy. Totality without limits.
"This is definitely my one-sided feeling. So I hope the Duke is not burdened. One thing is certain that I like His Majesty so much that it makes no sense like this. Forgive me Your Majesty." So blessed to win her, Yanneta realizes that she has acting talent.
"If you're distracted I promise I won't show up again in front of you." The perfect cover of Yanneta.
"Wait on! Waita minute!" Shouted Lionel in surprise.
"I just remembered if there's anything I need to get done right away. Lady we'll talk about it later, now you rest."
"Is that so?" Yanneta seduces Lionel with her head tilted slightly.
"Yes, I'll be right back."
"Be careful on Your Majesty's path."
Lionel came out in a hurry. As soon as the door closed, Yanneta's laughter exploded.
"Pffit.. Hahaahaha. Look at that red face. It's so fun to tease her."
"Huwah. I almost got caught. The main level is different. How could he be so happy. Crazy one! After this how do you try?" Yanneta said to herself.
Whether this is a good decision or not. Expressing his feelings for Lionel spontaneously. But only this reason makes sense. Lionel had only gotten suspicious of him to such a detail, if not immediately react he would definitely be considered a spy. It means his life can be lost at any time.
But after this how, Yanneta is confused. There's a little relief actually. The person Lionel will love and love is Rose. Until death he won't look at her. Yanneta will use this opportunity to dodge Lionel.
His love will clap one hand.
"Thank God.."
Lionel would have rejected it. Yanneta sure. Duke Soveil has never approached a woman. Moreover, a careless woman like Yanneta Rainhart. He's not Lionel's level. Once Lionel rejected it he would use it as an excuse to avoid it.
Then Janneta will be his secret admirer. Silent love is also bad tidal. Yanneta giggles to herself thinking of her crazy idea.
Uh. Suddenly worry flooded him. The dream that was seen, the story of Red Rose Tragedy changed. From Rose to herself.
He immediately dismissed his bad thoughts. Yanneta Rainhart's name never appeared in the story so there was no way she would suddenly become the female lead.
"Is there anyone outside?" Yanneta pull pull the bell.
"Yes, miss."
"Come in."
Martha opened the door and entered alone.
"Marta." Yanneta's eyes sparkled happily.
"I'm miss. How are you doing?" Marta takes a glimpse of Yanneta's condition.
"I'm doing fine. You must be very surprised, right?"
Marta nodded.
"How long have we been here? Looks like we should get home soon."
"But your condition.." Marta hesitates.
"I'm doing fine. It could heal in a few days." John pointed a bluish bebepa at his neck.
"Are you sure, miss?"
"Yes." Yeah." Reply Yanneta firmly.
There was no reason he should stay. He's who in the Soveil mansion. Going home is the best option.
*
Heart's pounding. Like someone crawled Lionel's whole body. Warming face. I think someone will get stuck.
"I like Your Majesty."
The word kept ringing. I don't know why her lips smile without her control.
Maddened. He's gone mad.
Heard a statement of likes that he did not expect. Deep down, Lionel loved it too. This Debaran, though uncomfortable she wanted to continue feeling it.
"Your Majesty." A voice interrupts it.
"Don't bother me." Answer Lionel ketus.
"Lady Rainhart will be back soon. I heard from the waiter if he was changing clothes." Fabian.
The closed door finally opened.
"What did you say?"
"Lady Rainhart will return to her mansion."
"What is he doing now?"
"Prepare to return. Looks like I'm almost done changing clothes."
"Why just say it now!"
Lionel widened his steps towards his bedroom. It's not far from his office.
There were several servants lined up at the door. Just as he got the door open. Yanneta is already neatly seen.
"Greet Your Majesty."
Lionel nodded at a glance.
"I'm authorized to return to Your Majesty's Rainhart mansion. Thank you for everything you gave me. I will close my eyes and my mouth to what happened yesterday. You can trust me."
Yanneta's intention is that she'll keep yesterday's events a secret. He promised to keep it until he died.
Lionel looked riled up. He broke his well-groomed hair. Although messy he remains handsome.
"Then I'll permit the farewell." Yanneta ended it quietly.
No one knew the turmoil in his heart. He's clumsy. Just a few minutes ago he expressed his feelings for Lionel, but it seems he has been rejected. There was a sense of disappointment indeed, but there was no way he would be accepted. Hello, who is he.
Better to end it like this. In the future Lionel would no longer be curious about him. Nor did it bother him because of that curiosity. Let him be known to Lionel as one of the women who likes him. Not bad.
"Lady."
Yanneta's move is being held by Lionel.
"Yes Your Majesty."
"Before you go will you have tea with me? The weather today is pretty clear. It's perfect for tea."
"Huh?" Yanneta's brain is stuck. So stuck, he was unable to speak.
"Fabian prepare tea for us."
"Your Majesty."
"Please follow me Lady." Tell Lionel.
Yanneta's brain just worked trying to resist. But it's too late. As she looked at the park with a small open hall in the middle, Yanneta realized that she was already unable to escape.
He cursed his feet that were more on Lionel's side.
"Tea what does Lady like?" Lionel started the conversation.
"Anything. I like anything." Answer Yanneta briefly.
Lousy. Very clumsy. He was embarrassed to go head-to-head with Lionel. Yanneta suddenly remembers her declaration of love.
Fortunately Fabian soon came up with a tray of tea and snacks in his hands.
"I chose earl grey for his tea. I don't know what kind of taste Lady has. So I chose a tea commonly drunk by nobles."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I have no particular fondness for tea."
Compared to tea, Yanneta prefers coffee. Unfortunately in this life there is no americano that he likes the most. The nobles here prefer to enjoy tea than coffee.
Smoke billowed from the cup that Fabian had brought. Yanneta picked it up then inhaled its aroma. The smell of tea made him calm. Her tense body relaxed a little. The chatter with Lionel felt very clumsy and dry. He wanted to put an end to this discomfort immediately.
He immediately sipped his tea then returned to a graceful position.
"Your Majesty. Please forget what you heard."
Lionel surprised. It was clear from the look on his face.
"Why?" Thought Yanneta.
"This is my one-sided liking. I never expected more. So I beg you to behave as usual with me. I don't want you to be burdened." Yanneta said while observing Lionel's response.
"Please forgive me for my greed, Your Majesty. I will keep His Majesty in my heart. So release your uncomfortable feelings, Your Majesty. From today I will try not to appear in front of you and make you difficult. I beg you."
Goody. Yanneta's words were clear and well conveyed. At least that's what he thinks. Honey, he can't read other people's minds. Lionel is smart to control his emotions since he was young because of his hard upbringing to be an heir. So he was unaware of Lionel's subtle changes.
Yanneta is wrong. Lionel's feelings were not what he thought.
"Who said I didn't like Lady?"
"Yes?"
Yanneta's calm face broke.
"I like you."
Janet's heart beat unnoticed. He didn't hear wrong. What, what's going on now.
"Why do you have to secretly like me? I'll let you like me blatantly."
Lionel's unchanging face as he spoke made Yanneta shudder.
"You can also be more greedy on me."
"Crazy!" Yanneta cried in her heart.
"You mean?" Yanneta's voice vibrated.
"I also like you Lady Yanneta Rainhart." Lionel reiterated. With a face that has not changed.
"really? Die me!" Yanneta just wants to die.
"But Your Majesty.."
"Yanneta." Lionel got up from his chair then approached Yanneta.
His tall body seemed small before Yanneta. Lionel folded his legs then held both of his hands.
"Please don't say that. I want to keep seeing Yanneta. Sorry if I mentioned your name directly. I want to get closer to Yanneta." Lionel's eyes twitched. The dark blue eyes were like the deep sea that night as if devouring Yanneta.
"Your Majesty please don't be like this."
Seeing Lionel squirming at his feet made him shocked.
"I beg Yanneta. I also like Yanneta. Yanneta likes me too, doesn't she? Let's keep meeting."
"Your Majesty what do you mean?"
Yanneta's brain is fucked. Messy as hell. Lionel's attacks were endless and he couldn't anticipate it.
"I want to be Yanneta's lover."
"Crazy oath! It's called the dinner weapon, sir." If he wasn't sitting right now, his body would have collapsed to the floor. Yanneta's inner voice shouted loudly.
Seriate...
FYI
Earl grey is one of the most popular black tea varieties in the world. Earl gray is made from a mixture of black tea with lemon and bergamot so that the aroma is very fragrant and fresh. While for the taste is a blend of sweet, sour, and slightly bitter taste.
