Duke's Daughter Margarita Frost Reporting for Duty

She's in love with me 2

Count Argente and Emely are both eating quietly. They both have lifeless expression on their faces.
The maid serves the Count a tea and he just stares at hit.
He took it, drink it and throw it on the ground.

Some maids screams but they tried to calm down immediately.

Count hand is trembling.
He close his eyes and sigh heavily.
Emely continue eating as if she hears nothing.

Her feelings are already neutral.
She has no more things to say.

The Count looks at her.

“Did you send a message to the Prince?”

Her hand froze.
“Tomorrow.”

“He is so in love with you. We should use this chance when he is vulnerable so make sure you are always by his side.”

“Yes…Father.”

“No more delusions about the Frost boy.”

Emely nods.
“Y…es..”

The Count sighs.
“I will be gone for a while. We have to solidify our men and to earn more money. The business is getting to be more secure now that the Crown prince is no longer Prince Diego.”

“Will your business be alright? Should you stop?”

The Count glares at her.
“How many times do I have to say this? If I am not doing this…How are you suppose to wear and eat like this? Just be glad that You are not one of the woman I am selling.”

“Do not get mad father..I am just concern about you and this family.”

“Just do your best with the Prince Diego.”

“I will. But I don’t understand Father. Despite him not able to become the King? Do we really have to stick with him?”

“Prince Diego is the only one the King loves from the bottom of his heart. He will have a chance to return to his rightful place if Prince Dwayn made a slightly wrong move. Just stick with Prince Diego and do not go out in public! Let the public forget about the rumor first.”

“I see. I understand father.”

The glow in Emely’s eyes are now dimmed.
Nothing in this world can make her smile is what she thought.

Tears slowly drip down her cheeks as she sighs.
“It’s a cruel world.
How can I be with the man I love when everything is pulling as a part?”
She wants to see him again, Miguelito Frost, save her from this shitty life.

Miguelito felt a chill.
He hugs his tiny body and looks around.

He is already lying on his bed but just reading a book.
His father and sister went to a party but sadly he can’t join them because its for adult only party.

Miguelito puts the book down and cover his body with the blanket.

The next morning, Margarita is merrily smiling as she ate.

“Are you that happy that you can eat more now?” Miguelito asks.
Margarita grins.
“I never seen Prince Dwayn so jealous last night. Its funny.”

Miguelito frowns and use his fork to get the potato in his plate.
“So you are happy that he is in love with you? And the feelings are mutual?”

Margarita paused then there is a wide grin.

“Yes.”

The Duke smiles.
“My little girl deserves to be pampered and love.”

Miguelito sneers
“How are you sure he is not acting? He is good at it.”

Margarita tilts her head.
“It’s easy to tell.”

“How?” Miguelito looks confuse.

Margarita looks at her father.
“You can tell by just looking, right, father?”

“Well..Yes? I really am not sure.” The Duke said.

“Lies…..You all can’t tell?”
Margarita said in shocked.
She glance at X who is standing behind his father.
“Surely you can tell?”

X smiles.
“Isn’t it great that only you My Lady can tell with a glance?”

Margarita is stunned.
Then her face was beet red.
“Oh....I see. I am staring at him so much…I can tell the difference?” she was unaware she is too occupied with this man’s expressions.
