The Hated Lady (HIATUS)

Chapter 23: Mysterious Paper(2)

"After the Young Lady awaken from her slumber, the gossip starting to became the hot topic within the country again." Said the Second in Command Silver Knight Commander, Daren.

The Rosalind Grand Duke, Allen, his emerald eyes was still on the paperwork, he sigh to Daren's word. ".... You do your part to stop the rumours from escalating far more them what it is."

"Already on the process, my Lord." Daren replied quickly.

Allen hand that was writing stop, he raised his head to Daren. "Thank you for hardwork."

Daren smile," It's natural to work hard if working with you, your highness."

Allen raised his hand to his temple, "Talking about getting rid of the rumour, it started after the time I suddenly told you to step down out of your position..."

"It's only natural for my lord to put the people whose capable to be the leader of the Rosalind Silver Knight." Daren said.

"Are you not mad I do so?" Allen asked out of curiosity.

Without a second thought he said, "I would lied if I say I was not effected by your decision, but I stay firm by my knowledge that my lord always made the best decision. And I saw how capable Commander Lisya is, my lord made a good decision."

Allen smile, "I see.... By how harsh you were to her I thought you dislike her. It was your way of looking out for someone perhaps."

Daren scratch his hair awkwardly, "Well I should say that her discipline disappeared when Young Lady is involved."

The air around Allen abruptly change, "Yes, my deary little cutie angel! You just can't help but to forget everything when my sweetie little angel is around."

"......" Daren had already seen this multiple times, he can never get used to this.

"*Knock* Can I come in?" Said the voice of a woman.

Allen immediately recognised the voice, "Come in Ladia."

The Grand Duchess, Ladia, open the door politely. Noticing Daren presence, she smile, "I see I'm interrupting a meeting."

Daren bow, "Good afternoon, Duchess. No, your grace did not interrupted anything. I was about to take my leave."

Allen said before Daren leaves the room, "Remember to do your mission low profile, we don't want people to question our motive."

"Yes, my lord." Daren then leaves.

"Is this something concerns Merrie?" Ladia asked as she invited herself to the sofa.

"Yes, it about the rumour "the goddess of life blessed the people of the Dukedom continent and heal all injuries and illness of their people" and it coincidentally the same day when the Young Lady of the Rosalind strike with a mysterious illness and go on a coma for almost two years" Allen said with a distressful face.

"That kind of rumour certainly will be an idle talk within the gossip circle." Ladia continue, "From what I learn, you know what they like more?"

Allen give her a confused face, "What would those sharp tongue people like more then more gossip?"

"Exactly!" Ladia smile. "Just give them another rumour, more interesting then the rumour about Merrie. Soon they forget about that rumour."

Allen caress his chin, "This might've work, thank you Ladia dear." Allen smile.

"I have other things in mind to say," Ladia cheek blush but she keep it professional.

"You came to discuss about what?"
