Duke's Daughter Margarita Frost Reporting for Duty

Education

Tak.
Tak.
Tak.

Lady Emely turn around and look at Diego her face is tender and soft. Her eyes are red and her cheeks are wet and blushing.
Her eyes are moist and also sending her current emotion, aggrieved.

"I am sorry." She said and hugs Diego.

Startled, Diego hugs her and rub her back softly.

"I shouldn't have lost my cool. I...To think that I acted so badly infront of the Duke. I...I shamed his highness."

Diego sighs and rubs Lady Emely's head.
Emely looks up and see Diego tenderly looking at her.

"I know that you are suffering for my sake. I...I know how much effort you are giving. I will do my best to deserve you Lady Emely."

"My prince.." Emely smiles and blushes as she let go of him and one step away from him bashfully.

Diego smiles and wipes her cheek.
"But you can't lose your cool against a high ranking official. Duke Frost is someone above all the nobleties. Offending him is not a good thing."

Lady Emely nods.
"I will go and apologize to them later. I...I also want to be close to Margarita Frost."

"But she--"

"I know. I know that the king wants her to be your partner. But she is also just a woman.Inlove. If I can be her friend, then even if I am just a lowly concubi--"

Diego blocks her mouth with his hand.

"I will only marry one woman. And I will marry you."

Lady Emely's eyes brighten.
"Your Highness.."

Diego looks around and seeing everyone busy with their own thing, he bow a bit and kiss Emely's cheek.

Emely face reddened.
"My! You---"

Diego smiles and put one finger on his lips.
"It's a secret."

Emely blushes and nod.
"It's our own little secret." She said.

Nanny Stacy is just following without showing much presence.
Like a fading background.
Faithfully following her master like an obedient dog.
But her heart is trembling and shaking.
She too, was once kissed in her lips.
And feels the tenderness of a man's love.
But what happened?
This seemingly kind and obedient maiden and her father killed her lover!
She cried every night.
Wishing and dreaming.
She wants to remember his warmth and his love.
At night she will sneaks out and watch the starts.
Thinking of that kind man who made her feel so whole.
Tears drips her eyes but she instantly wipes it.
She clenched her fist.

"What should we do next?" Miguelito asked.

Margarita looks at him.
"How is your studies?"

"He never attend any formal education." Duke says as he walks behind his two children.

Margarita frowns.
"You can hide a bastard but can't properly do it well?"

Duke Frost emits a cold aura and looks chilly at Margarita.
Margarita tilts her head and stare back at her father. Not arrogant or glaring. Just staring.

Miguelito fidgets while X admires Margarita's compose expression.
Duke Frost is not any other man afterall.
Duke Frost smiles and the coldness disappear but Margarita keeps staring at him.

"Never." She said. "Never looks at me like that again. Next time. I will cut ties with you."

Duke Frost lips twitch.
"I can't decipline my daughter?"

"You can. But you can't treat me like I am one of your men. Or I will reciprocate."

Duke Frost laughs that startle Margarita and Miguelito.
Miguel rubs Margarita's head and smile.
"I'm sorry. Did I frighten you?"

Margarita blinks.
Somehow, she doesn't understand why her heart doesn't reject his notion.
