HEYYY WHAT'S UP MY MINIONS. YOUR GURL WORKING ON THIS UPDATE I PROMISE 😭 IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE SHORT, BUT ANYWAYS ON TO THE GOOD STUFF. 🤪


Katherine finally walked through the gates of Verillia, she was one step onto the property before she was bombarded by almost everyone. " My god Katherine what happened ?! we were so terrified when we didn't hear back from you" Katherine concentrated on who had said it and it turned out to be Mrs.lilly, her mother's friend.  " There was an incident but thankfully im fine." The rest of the crowd started asking question " why did you take so long in during your trip" "did you hear what happened to your brother" " Your parents are missing do you have any explanation" "why are conveniently without harm" " What are you going to do now". Katherine kept looking left and right, the crowd not giving her a chance to answer , backing her against the gate. "Now now everyone" Count Malcom started making his way to wards Katherine " Our little duchess just got here lets give her room to take in everything" Katherine glared at him the moment he got within 5 feet. 


" I don't need your help" Katherine whispered to him. "Well like or not if I don't say something you're gonna be left with everyone without a way to defend yourself from rumors am I wrong ?" this caused her to bite her lip as to not snap back. " Thank you, of course" Katherine noticed that he had his hang extended towards and so she accepted it and they began walking together. 


" Sweet little Katherine you missed so much while you were gone, turns out I was right about your brother."  The count whispered to Katherine "What ?!" "its exactly as you heard, unfortunately it seems your brother went crazy and killed our beloved young prince."  " They've caught him though, don't worry he's suffering in jail as he deserves" Katherine kept getting angrier every time he mentioned her brother but she bit her tongue. 


They kept walking until they reached the carriage he had resting around the corner. The coachman quickly got off. " M' lady" he bowed and opened the door, Katherine shifted her eyes to her left before Count Malcom intercepted "looking for someone ?, I think it best you got in " she glared at him before turning her face towards the carriage once and walked in ignoring the hand that was held out. He enclosed his fingers into a fist before taking a deep breath and getting in himself. throughout most of the carriage ride it was quiet, neither one talking, Katherine kept her eyes on the window she was determined to avoid looking at him. 


" You know ignoring me isn't gonna make your little problem better, so why don't you just be obedient huh ?" He suddenly grabbed a hold of her chin forcing her to look at him. Katherine glared at him, "If this is about the fiancee thing again , you can forget it."  Tch. " Well let's see if your mind changes by the end of this week because if not , I can make it very difficult for you" Katherine spit in his face, he backed up in disgust and used a cloth to wipe it off. "First of all I would very much like it if you got your hands off of me, you respect a noble lady remember." All of a sudden Katherine felt her face get slapped to the side. she started laughing " you think that did anything ?" " All it proves is that you're a child." " Stop the carriage !" The stagecoach abruptly stopped allowing Katherine to get off. 


"This was a nice talk, hopefully we don't have to do it again" ^^ "Have a nice day" Count Malcom huffed, face red in anger and closed the door and sped off. Katherine looked around to see where she was. "well, it's good to be back."
