Duke, Please Divorce Me

”How did you-

”What? How did I? ” I acted as usual but why is he being dramatic?

”Madam, you really are so talented ”, he tells me as if I had solved a tough chess game.

”Why? Duke didn think about this? ” I felt confused.

”No ”, he looked down.

Did I just make the duke look down in front of his employer? I have a feeling that I did.

”Sorry, if I did something. But don tell this to the duke. ” I spoke.

”But-

”I don know what you are thinking but could you please not bring this topic anymore? Im not sure what is going on when the duke himself didn want me to know so I don think it is appropriate. ” I said while checking the documents.

”As you wish, madam ”, he bowed and walked away.

I was still so emerged in the documents which made me forget about the timing until Yuna knocked on the door.

”Yes? ” I answered.

”Duke is waiting for the dinner ”, her voice has a loud pitch as if she is annoyed.

”I will be there in a minute ”, I answered.

The voice disappeared with her. Such a peace until I heard her voice again.

”Madam, duke is waiting ”, I was pissed.

I got up from the chair and walked toward the door. I opened the door in a hurry while she was about to knock. But I won be able to utter a single word seeing the duke behind her as if it was all because of him. As if Yuna was pestering me so many times in a single moment because he couldn wait that much time.

”Did I disturb you? ” he said with a worried expression.

What if I say yes? What will you do? Will you show me your angry side at last? Or will you kick me out of your place because of this?

”Not at all ”, I said with a smile and walked with him toward the dinner table.

As I sat, he asked, ”I heard you already took over your duties? ”

”Yes, I already started working on it ”, I said while taking bites from the meals.

”Do you have any doubt so that I co-

He didn even finish his sentence. I said, ”I am already embracing everything I need to. I already got classes from a very young age. And I even heard that the butler was handling the mansion work so he is here to help me. ”

”Oh yeah ”, his voice was low.

”So there is nothing to worry about me. You should focus on your parents-

I messed it up.

”My parents…

He asked.

”Oh sorry I didn mean to eavesdrop but I just accidentally came to know about your parents ”, I said. My fingers were trembling when I accidently picked up this subject. I know how father used to look at me when I used to do something he didn like so Im already aware of these feelings.

”Madam, could you finish what you just started? ”

Im getting scared.

”I actually wasn aware about the previous duke and duchesss death. I didn know they were killed so-

”Enough ”, his voice was loud even the way he hit his hand on the table was even louder then it looked making my ears go numb for a second making me scared as hell.

”I- m really sorry ”, I said in a low tone but I think he didn hear but walked away from the table leaving me there in front of all the workers as if Im the laughing stock for them.

”Madam, should I take your meal to your room? ” Yuna breaks the silence.

”No, let it be. You guys can have your dinner. Im returning to my room ”, I said while my feet led me to my room.

My tears were again falling down my cheeks. I somehow reached in front of my room and locked myself from inside until my surroundings turned dark all of sudden.

”Yuna ”

”Yuna ”

”Can you hear me? ”

I called in a high pitch but no response.

Ive already started trembling.

”Head butler ”, my voice started breaking already but again no response which made me come out of my room and walk around in the dark. I already couldn see anything else around me. The pitch dark is making me blind but still Im searching around to get a fire stick so that I can light up my room at least.

”Hello ”

”Is there anyone here? ”

I asked numerous times but all of sudden I heard footsteps from the north.

”Can you hear me? ” I asked again but no response.

Why does no one answer when Im clearly hearing the footsteps?

I still walked further so that I could reach his study but suddenly something happened. My back hurts as if some kind of monster just tore some of my flesh from my back. It hurts. I touched my back when I felt hot watery things. Is this my blood?

”Who is it? ” I still asked.

No response but again another slash hit my left shoulder making me fall on the floor. I did nothing. I couldn do it because I couldn see anything. I never get training what a knight gets so Im all helpless while no one is answering my voice.

”Now you will too go to hell. ” finally I heard someone saying,

Im not aware of this voice.

”Duchess of the north region Bernice Balliol or should I say the Bernice Balliol Agnes? ”

That person is laughing at me.

”Now please rest in peace. There is no need for you here anymore. Sleep for your entire life now ”, he said while a sharp object pierced through my stomach. I wasn able to utter a single word anymore. Not a single word came out anymore as if my vocal cord was broken.

Bloods coming out of my mouth.

Now I can hear the footsteps going far from me and the lights too started coming on its own but I see no one beside me.

Duke where are you?

Are you that angry with me which made you unaware of your wedded wifes death?

Am I really the wife in your document?

I really wonder.

My eyes slowly started closing letting me know Im dying.

But I don want to.

I don want to die.

Someone save me!!!

Save me please!!!!
