I ENDED UP AS A DUKE'S 7TH CHILD

CHAPTER 55

"You didn't had to be so direct," whispered brother Henry.

"Sorry. It just came out of my mouth," I whispered back.

"Okay, be careful next time. Anyway it worked in our favour."

"Are the food to your liking?" asked the Marquis.

"Yes!" we both said at once.

A Few Minutes Ago

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

Everyone looked at me at once.

"What! Is that really true Your Grace?!?! You should have given us a prior notice about it then. I should had prepared better........"

"Marquis Dawson, it's fine. I would just like to meet The Lady. You don't need to worry too much," said brother Cedric.

"But still, you are the Grand Duke." he sighed, "someone go and tell Sierra to come here."

After a while Lady Sierra came to the gathering. I had seen her before in the Royal Balls. She has straight ginger hair which is quite uncommon in this country.

"Sierra you already know Lord Henry well. But this is the first time The Grand Duke himself came in our state. Grand Duke Cedric Holler and that's Lady Davinia Holler, their younger sister."

"Greetings. It's an honour to meet The Grand Duke and Lord Henry and Lady Davinia. I hope you had a comfortable journey while coming here."

"Greetings," three of us greeted her back.

"Sierra His Grace would like to talk to you, why don't you take him to the garden. And show him the garden also. Sierra loves gardening. The whole garden is decorated according to her....."

"Father I'll show His Grace," she replied embarrassedly.

Back To Now

"Serve them some dessert and also go and give some dessert to His Grace and Sierra."

Soon enormous amount of dessert and sweets started to arrive. The Marquis himself happily dig in his plate.

"I had heard one of your brother also had joined as a knight of Ruby recently," asked the Marquis.

"Yes. Our 4th brother Neel Holler." replied brother Henry.

"Ah. Is it true that your second brother is a chef?"

"No. Ishak Holler, our third brother, he is a baker. I am second."

"It's not common for nobles to opt for this kind of professions. But time is changing, I think everyone should do what their heart wants. Hahaha," Marquis didn't sound sarcastic but quite honest.

"Indeed," replied brother.

"Young Lady, have you decided what would you like to do in the future?" he asked me.

"No, I haven't." I replied embarrassedly.

"The way Neel is training her, I think Davinia can become a knight but since she was small,...... she is surprisingly sharp in her studies,........ even she had a chance to study under the Royal teachers even they praised her highly." said brother over exaggeratedly.

"That's very impressive young Lady," happily said The Marquis.

I just embarrassedly smiled and continued eating my cake. Brother Henry doesn't know much about my studies. I'm only good at some selected subjects. I can't remember anything about history or geography. And unlike Meitry I suck in dance and embroidery. I'm not even much good in swordsmanship like sister Athena. That's why brother Neel has to take extra care of me.

"Here comes these two," said The Marquis with a big smile.

Brother walked towards us. Then said, "Then we shall take our leave now. It was wonderful to meet you Marquis Dawson."

"The pleasure is mine," confusedly replied The Marquis.

I and brother Henry looked at each other, both wondering if brother Cedric was rejected!

Author's Note: Everything is in control in my country now. Thank you for all the prayers and support. There are many rumours surrounding my country but most of them are done by the opposition party to create a ruckus.

Again Thank you for being patient with me and giving my story so much love 💕.
