Marianne pov
"Roselia, I am taking you as my knight from here, but I am giving you off once we reach the marquees palace."
"Lina, you and Norma are enough. Both of you will co with then you will change the shift after three days. So that all can have three days off"
"Yes, your highness"
"Pack all the necessary things needed and take a carriage, I am going first with my brother."
"Yes, your highness"
When i reached the parlour room there was a pin drop silence, oh lord! Don't tell they were having an argunt again.
Last ti when Cassius had an argunt with Jas, all of his clothes were shredded and there were multiple scratches on his skin, still he had not learnt his lesson!!
I increased my pace further as I walked in.
"Brother, i am ready for the trip." his eyes moved from Cassius to as he nodded and stood up.
"It was nice eting you, your highness, and take care kid"
Killian looked at with the sa sad eyes as if I was breaking all my promises and abandoning him, yet I steeled my heart and feigned ignorance.
"Marianne, take care of yourself"
I nodded at him as he bid goodbye, though I was hoping that they would stop . Even this thought made shocked and scared at the sa ti.
Had i invested more feelings than i ad thought! Was it not the palm since I started to leave this bondage behind and return to the place which I could call ho.
"Mother, take care of yourself, and write a letter daily." said Killian coming towards and hugging my waist.
My eyes t Cassius and he shook his head as he moved his hands on his cheeks. I looked above and blinked as I wiped the tears that had already wetted my cheeks.
I could let them see! Jas moved and patted my shoulders as if trying to pass the strength with the warmth of his hands.
Finally his soft hands left my waist and his snuggling head that was trying to seek more and more warmth separated from my body.
"You take care of yourself too, son '' I said as I ruffled his hair and looked into his red eyes, the one that was trying to look deeper than I had thought.
"Alright, you are just coming for a week, do not be that lodramatic or i would leave you right here" joked Jas with a laugh, but i could see he was serious.
Cassius moved and held Killian's shoulder indicating to go, but I swear when he moved I thought that he would hug too.
I still was a fool, there was no doubt in that! I nodded as I walked out, too afraid to turn back and looked at their leaving behind figures when Jas held my shoulders again and took towards the carriage.
"If you didn't want to co, I would not force you." he said in a very serious voice that was filled with hope and disappointnt at the sa ti.
I just shook my head, too afraid that my voice would sound broken.
'Collect your pathetic self Mari! You have to leave this place one day then why not practice now' i cursed myself hard as i looked out of the carriage, the garden, the entrance and the palace was left behind and now we were in the open area moving towards the palace i have left a long ago.
My mouth turned dry at the thought of living there again.
"Take it"
I looked back at his hands holding a glass vessel filled with juice and smiled. He really knew the best.
"That dumb duke, he was looking upset too" he added bringing a smile on my face.
"This ti your face was glowing there, Mari. You seed to be carefree among them too." his words were sowhere torn between a question and a statent so i just listened silently.
"And that kid, what was the story behind him, are you taking him as yours?"
"He is legally my son."
"Ha! You must be joking Mari. I know that you care for a child but he is definitely not your child, and even if we are talking about emotional bonding, you both have a long way to go." he said rcilessly and I had no retort to it.
When had he tried to flatter or other with his sweet words!
"How have you been?"
"So you have finally rembered asking this, even if it is just to change the matter of discussion. Ha! Do not be like them Mari, you are not a diplomat" he criticised once again then looked out of the window.
"I am good. Your husband had made sure that i would not get a single leave in a year. But it did not matter now. I am here for a long period this ti."
"I thought you are here for a month only."
He shook his head as he looked back towards , straight into my eyes.
"I would not go this ti, until I handle your ssy life and put it back on track. So you are not leaving the palace until that trash husband of yours and that kid whom you are taking as your own child learn your importance in their life and kneel in front of my palace. Then I would test their love and if there would be a single doubt then I would throw them out of the palace without even batting an eye, so you better prepare your mind for that" he said, making my eyes widened.
"And I have to look for a wife too, that can handle and my work. I am fine with her living here in all the luxury or co to on the border and live with , but I just want that she would choose willingly not because of the Essendson na or because of her family pressure."
