Duchess From Hell

40

A unusual excitement and smile has been plastered on Anna's face as they enter the gate of a very familiar residence.

The estate she's been longing.

Ang nagtataasan at naglalakihang mga puno at pamilyar na tuwid at liko ng daan ay sinyales na malapit na nilang marating ang mansyon.

It was never in her intention to visit the most important people in her life but it seems like they missed her so much so she'll grace them with her presence.

Days after she and her husband was forced to attend the royal banquet, there are people who's been sending her a heartwarming gifts.

She's been the target of assassination for two days already.

Kung hindi siya pinagtatangkaang patayin habang nakikisalamuha sa mga mamamayan at namamasyal sa kapital ay personal naman siyang hinahainan ng mga ito ng pagkaing may lason.

And obviously, they all failed miserably.

The Duke has always been protective of her after she regained her conciousness kaya't bago pa man siya malapitan ng mga ito ay bangkay ng bumubulagta ang mga katawan ng mga nagtatangka sa buhay niya.

And as the most loved child, her mysterios admirer have definitely put  so much effort to surprise her everytime they had a chance, so she shouldn't just ignore those generous people right? That would be rude and she'll be labelled as ungrateful.

That's why she's taking the initiative to pay them a surprise visit.

"We're here, Duchess." Ani Rune na inutusan ni Zealand na siguraduhin ang kanyang kaligtasan. Gusto niya sanang mag-isang bumisita kaso hindi pumayag si Zealand, at dahil ayaw niyang mag-alala ang kanyang asawa ay pumayag narin siya sa huli.

Inayos ni Anna ang kanyang medyo nagusot na kulay itim na damit bago lumabas ng carriage.

She inhale deeply and exhale harshly.

The air felt so fresh that it isn't suffocating. It's very fresh. Like a toilet drainage.

Inilibot niya ang paningin sa buong paligid.

Walang pinagbago ang buong lugar. Malinis, magara at marangya. Halatang nasa mataas na antas ng lipunan ang mga nakatira sa malaking mansyon sa kanilang harapan.

Inihakbang niya ang paa at naglakad patungo ng pintuan ng mansyon and she's welcomed by a maid whom she is very familiar with.

Who could forget?

They ensure she'll living a hassle-free and peaceful life.

They would gently throw their dirty bags of clothes for her to wash manually during rainy or sunny days.

They would even talk to her in a soothing voice and adviced her with a very inspiring and life-changing insults. So, who could forget about them?

"Greeting....Duchess!"

Nakayukong bati ng taga-silbi. The maid didn't dare meeting her eyes like she used to.

Huminto si Anna.

She looks at the maid from head to toe. She may have greeted her but the maid's tone is uninterested with no hint of respect.
