I ENDED UP AS A DUKE'S 7TH CHILD

CHAPTER 63

"I'm sorry for how I reacted last time... I was wrong." I said.

"It's fine," brother Cedric said without a hesitation. Without any question.

"I know I've let you down this time!"

"It's not like that. You don't have to think that way Davinia."

"But my behaviour was rather impulsive, ............. I know I've hurt you," I added for no reason. Just say something brother. Being so forgivable only make me feel like a fool.

He remained quiet for some time and I stood in silence. "You know," he finally spoke since you were really young, you weren't like the rest of us. You were always understanding but again if you really wanted something you would get that by any means. I never really thought you had any emotional attachment towards father, .....
  but when he died you were the one who was the most heartbroken. But do you remember what did you say? You said you were worried about us. That what will happen to us once we were out of father's wing. A kid wouldn't think such way. Then when Empress wished you to be Prince Mikhail's playmate you were adamant to do so. And after that day I realised you never think about the present, you think what will be the future consequences of an act. So naturally when I told you about Lady Sierra Dawson you jumped into the conclusion and started thinking about the future and what people will think about me. ............................
I know you care about me and all of us but sometimes you don't realise by trying to protect us you might end up hurting us."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry to me. It's no use if you don't reflect on your actions. Live in the present Davinia. If you can't be happy in the present there's no way you'll be happy in the future....................
I've always wanted to talk to you about this matter. But I never knew from where should I start. If I ask you how are you, don't just say you are fine. Tell us if you need our help."

Back to present
(At the Marquess's estate)

"So My Lady, you've done all your research on this estate?" asked Mary.

"Yes, I'm all done. I even went to the beach. Huh ... Alex wanted to come to a beach. I made the best decision by visiting this estate. This estate literally has everything." I said blissfully.

"I see, then we will be returning early in the morning you should take rest while you can."

"Mary, .......... I know I should had talk to you about this before but........ I think you should marry Sir Dalton."

"My Lady what are you..."

"Look Mary I have only two years left, after that I will either go to the Academy or I'll go for training in both cases you won't be able to live with me, so it's better for you to choose Sir Dalton! He will treasure you."

"My Lady, I know you are saying all this for me. But accepting someone without love won't benefit anyone. Neither he will be happy nor will I. And once you return I'm sure I will be with you again. Even Lady Katrina's nanny will move to the Imperial Palace with her."

"Is it because of mother?"

"No," she calmly replied, "It's because of me. I love you and I don't want to leave you."
