Lover While The Duke
#18 Black Magic (Surprising Facts)

"Lady sure?"

Rebecca nodded. Count Frederik is the chief investigator at Zagc. His high and clean reputation earned him a lot of confidence to investigate cases.

Today Rebecca exclusively recounts the big case her father is dealing with.

A few days ago many palace servants, especially women, died unnaturally. There were no injuries or signs of violence, or suicide attempts from the investigation of their bodies.

The most surprising thing was, they were all servants of Princess Gwinia.

There were more than five servants. The investigation bureau moved in because there were reports from the servant's family. The court tends to be silent and takes no further action. They thought this was a natural death.

But not for Count Frederik. Once given the task he must complete it completely.

"You must warn the Count to be careful Ruby. We don't know what kind of danger threatens." Rebecca nodded.

They finally agreed to call each other's names safely. Rebecca chose to be called Ruby. Yolanda with Yola, Hillary is happy if her name is shortened to Hill. Eliz still survives. Yanneta chose Annet as her first name.

"Father planted a man beside Princess Gwinia." Rebecca.

"This case will be closed soon due to lack of evidence. But I'm not satisfied because it's about people's lives but the emperor seems to close his eyes."

Others nodded including Yanneta. If Count Frederik was a clean man it would be natural for him to be like this. But the act of planting people to watch over Princess Gwinia was quite dangerous. The risk of being caught could endanger him. Although not her father, Yanneta worries about her. Unlike someone's father, this almost a month has never been seen the trunk of his nose.

Bitter taste disappointed as soon as Yanneta hempaskan.

"Daughter of Gwinia often went in and out of the palace with strange things." Rebecca's.

"Oh I've heard that Princess is very interested in magic." Hillary cuts.

Attention shifted from Rebecca to Hillary.

"I heard from my sister." Further.

"The princess even collected magic items."

"A very strange hobby." The voice of the wrenching.

They judged it to be a strange hobby.

Magic in this country is taboo. There is but not much. Zagc is nearing a modern phase where witches are not so much noticed. They have changed their irrational way of thinking. Not that he doesn't exist. Soveil has one witch, Dyos Tatitha. He spent his time in the Duke mansion to develop his talent.

He's talented but people are indifferent. He's not famous. They knew enough that Soveil had a witch. That's it already.

For them maybe the hobby of Princess Gwinia is common. It is natural because of the emperor's favorite daughter. But for Yanneta who knew the story did not. They don't know about Hell's curse. Everything makes sense when Princess Gwinia's strange hobby is revealed.

He's practicing magic. Or he has a magic talent. What kind of magic. Does he know about Hell's curse.

Was it really him who cast the spell Hell.

"Why?"

Princess Gwinia is not the heir. The only person entitled is Verdian Zagc. He is the future emperor. In the Red Rose Tragedy story, Verdian makes a weapon to attack Lionel. The goal is to take Rose. Although it failed because Rose always saved Lionel every time he had a curse attack.

The curse eventually reversed course and attacked Verdian.

Many questions filled Yanneta's head. It feels like it's going to explode.

As his head was thinking out loud, a commotion pierced his ears.

The guests were screaming hysterically. Yanneta who was late realized to come into the fray.

Bloom Flower is designed with a lot of glass so that visitors can see the atmosphere outside. So right now at the entrance depot is parked by a familiar horse carriage.

The emblem of Soveil is boldly imprinted on every corner.

The person being antisputed down. Duke Lionel Soveil's. Still wearing a knight uniform complete with a sword in his hip ties.

Yanneta swallows her own saliva. They didn't meet for three days. Last time at the maturity party. He doesn't want to bother people who are in treatment.

They practically did not meet.

"Yes God! Isn't that Duke Soveil?"

"Annet, Duke's heading this way." Yolanda.

"I know too!" Yanneta cried in her heart.

Yanneta spontaneously stood up.

"Greetings to the Lady all." Lionel responded.

"I'm looking for Yanneta."

Yanneta developed her smile.

"Why not tell me if Yanneta is going to meet her friends."

"Yes God! How happy to be noticed this way. A month from now he can keep getting it. After Lionel meets Rose, Yanneta's name will be erased." Yanneta muttered silently.

"I miss Yanneta." Without a hint Lionel pulled Yanneta's body into his arms. Without paying attention around him.

The screams immediately sounded. Yanneta knows this is embarrassing. But Lionel was always like this, doing as he pleased.

"Why are you here? Sorry not to tell because I don't want to interfere with your treatment." Yanneta felt the need to explain.

"I'm fine." Said Lionel while taking off his embrace.

"There's something I want to tell Yanneta."

"Yes?"

"But not here."

Yanneta gave her a glance. Too many people. Especially those watching him.

"Sorry Lady everyone, I want to take my lover." Pinta Lionel on Yanneta's friends.

"Please Duke. We're almost done anyway." Eliz represented the answer.

"thank you. I'll appreciate all your understanding."

Without waiting for long Lionel instantly pulled Yanneta's hand following him. The horse-drawn carriage was ready to take them away.

When the train disappears. The mood returned. Whispers are heard here and there.

"I miss Yanneta." Lionel grabbed Yanneta's body possessively.

He buried his face in the recesses of Yanneta's neck. Inhaling its aroma a lot then smelling the nape of its neck open.

Yanneta rolled her hair up because of the summer heat. She also wore a dress with relatively thin material.

"Are you from the palace?" Yanneta's voice vibrated.

Instead of answering, Lionel was busy menggejurah every white skin Yanneta. Like being his hobby.

"Lionels. We're talking. Please don't be like this." Pinta Yanneta with a voice that was about to cry. He was suffering a huge ordeal. Who doesn't get caught up with Lionel's attention.

He was afraid that when the time came he would not be willing to let go of Lionel.

"Please accept it. The next few days it will be hard to meet Yanneta."

"I'm not going anywhere, we can meet anytime."

"No. Tomorrow I have to set out for a review to the border region."

"Tomorrow?"

Lionel nodded.

"So let me be like this. I want to spend today with Yanneta."

That was the reason Lionel was wearing the official knight uniform. Because he was his commander and also had to face the emperor. This was a routine program as a Zagc knight.

Deep down, Yanneta kept wondering.

"How much do you love me, why?"

Being treated lovingly made him uncomfortable. He initially thought this was just a momentary attraction. But the attitude that Lionel had made him worry about. He's possessive of Yanneta. Claims blatantly that Janneta is hers.

Seriate...
