Her agony II

Irene eyes flutter opened. She was in dazed for a moment. She looks around seeing the familiar place.
"Milady, you're awake?" Libby looks glad seeing her regain consciousness.
Finally come into her senses, Irene frantically gets up from the bed.
"Milady, you're still hurt, you can't move around now." Libby get anxious as she tries to stop Irene from leaving the room.
"I have to go...I have to go back to Arlo...." Irene struggle to escape from Libby grasp.
"Milady, please....the duke will be furious...please, calm yourself..." She plead.
Irene then stop struggling. She almost fell down as her legs become weak. Libby supported her. Irene turn to her with a sorrowful looks.
"Libby...it's too late, isn't it?" She asks her. Libby looking at her young lady lifeless state, couldn't answer her.
"It's already too late...." Irene mutters. Like she given her an answer to her own question. Seeing that she no longer want to run out from the room, Libby let go of her arm. Irene slowly turn back and walk aimlessly.
When suddenly, Irene smash the plate on the table beside her bed.

Prakk!!

Libby in shock, saw Irene use the piece of the broken plate and cuts her own neck without hesitation.
"Milady!!"
Libby hurriedly snatch the piece of the broken plate from Irene hand. However, the blood already gushed out from Irene's neck.
"No! Milady! Guard!! Guard, help! Help!!" Libby cried for help. Holding on to her young lady neck to stop the blood from flowing out.

Fortunately, the old physician of the dukedom managed to save Irene's life. The old man stitching the wound with a help of his woman assistant. Libby could only watch aside worriedly. Also present in the room are the duke of Wickson and Verick.
The old physician sighed heavily as he finished. For he can see the cruelty of the young lady, seeing how badly she cuts her own neck. As if she knows the vital point of the neck, that can really take her life. If the young lady's handmaiden didn't to stops her, the young lady would successfully cuts her neck deep. Which will have him failed to save her.
"How is she?" The duke asked.
"For now, her life is out of danger. The young lady has lost a lot of blood before, now with this new injury, her body will be weaken. She will need a long rest to recover. I will write down the prescriptions she needed."
Hearing that, the duke nods his head. The old physician then leave with his assistant.
Leaving the duke, Verick and her maid in the room. The duke looks at his own daughter poor condition. He frowned.
"Foolish girl! If I had known that she will be this troublesome, I should have kill her when she was an infant!" The duke said cruelly.
"You!" The duke turned to Libby.
"Yes, your grace." Libby answered.
"Monitor her every movement. Report to me if she tries to do anything foolish. And make sure she grew back to health. I want her to look decent for her upcoming wedding." The duke ordered.
"Yes, your grace. I will do my best." Libby comply.
The duke turn to leave.
"Have more guard around her. Make sure she can't escape again." Before leaving, the duke give an order toward Verick.
"Yes, father." Verick obeys. The duke then leave the room.
Verick took a last look at Irene, before leaving the room.
Now it is only Libby and her young lady in the room.
With a red teary eyes, Libby took a hold of her young lady hand.
