I ENDED UP AS A DUKE'S 7TH CHILD

CHAPTER 54

3 Month Later

"What's taking brother Cedric so long?"

"He is going to meet his future wife officially for the very first time. He need to take time to get ready Davinia," brother Henry smirked, "of course you won't understand. You are still a baby after all. Hahaha."

"Hahaha very funny brother."

"Whatever I say, but brother really brought you here in Marquis Dawson's state. You remember loooong time ago, I had told you brother is a little bias towards you."

"You also came though."

"I'm different Davinia! We are not same. I come to this state frequently."

"Yes, yes. You do." After a long pause I asked, "By any chance do you know Lady Emily?"

"The Count's daughter? Yes I have met her a few times. Why? Why do you ask?"

"Just a little curious. So what do you think about her?"

"She has good knowledge about this state and I think she can do better if given the chance," brother sighed, "The Count seems to be favouring his son's more than daughter. So Lady Emily still hasn't shine much."

"Oh," hearing brother it didn't sound like he was much interested in Lady Emily romantically yet. But according to past Lady Email and brother Henry should be in love before brother Cedric marry Lady Dawson. Though the past is no longer the present and I don't know what will happen in the future.

"But Davinia,... shouldn't you be more curious about Lady Dawson?"

"Of course I am. And I have already collected information about her."

"Looks like..........."

"Brother has arrived." I jumped off the couch. Brother literally dressed up to meet Lady Dawson. He wore a long navy robe and a beige vest over a white shirt. His hair was all set.

"Did you both waited for too long?" asked brother Cedric.

"Well we did," replied brother Henry.

"I'm sorry for that. Then shall we leave?"

At Marquis Dawson's Palace

I was sitting on brother Cedric's left side and brother Henry was on the right side.

"It's an honour for us that The Grand Duke himself came to our house. I can't express my gratitude in words. I hope you three didn't face any trouble during your journey." said Marquis Dawson.

"No. We didn't," replied brother.

"I have often met Lord Henry due to business but Your Grace, you came to this state first time. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes. Henry is looking after 'our' business in other states besides capital and Katrina handle everything in capital. I mostly just double check them."

"Yes..... Did we made any mistake your Grace?" asked the Marquis.

Of course he'll be confused if brother doesn't say he came here to see The Lady. But brother Cedric didn't say it directly either. Brother Henry was staring at brother mortifyingly. But still brother didn't say anything.

"Haha.... Marquis Dawson. It seems my brother is worrying you for no reason," said brother Henry, "brother why don't you tell them why we are here?"

Brother Cedric's ear was red. But he tried to speak, "We just wanted to........ see no I mean meet... Lady Sierra."

Marquis Dawson stared at brother with confusion.

To be honest it's actually embarrassing to come to see a Lady by oneself just to give a wedding proposal. Brother could had given them a letter beforehand. I don't know why he didn't.

This time brother Henry just shot brother Cedric by arrow with his eyes.

Finally I said, "What my brother is trying to say is, he would like to court Lady Sierra; only if she agrees to."

Everyone looked at me at once. Some were happy, some were shocked.

But the most awkward expression was given by brother Cedric himself.

Maybe I shouldn't had spoken!
