When the hour passed, dark clouds covered the sun and the red sky darkened to gray.. Waves of chilly wind blew by..
So unwillingly, They had to go back to the palace..
They walked towards the drawing room from the back palace..
Their plan is to continue their chat a little and later have dinner..
While walking towards the drawing room Anisha noticed a strong flow of mana coming from the hall room behind..
'Such a strong flow of mana.. Is this where they keep their mana stones?'
Anisha thought..
"Wanna check this room out?"
Duchess Diana smiled looking at Anisha..
"Eh?"
"Come on! Let's go.."
Duchess Diana smiled and gestured everyone..
When the duchess stepped in, the whole hall room lit up..
"Woah!! This is amazing!!"
Rose exclaimed while entering the hall..
"I know right?"
Evan whispered in awe..
"Oh my goodness!"
Izana made a panicked face..
"This is.............gorgeous"
Harllod mumbled..
Everyone became mesmerized..
Because,
That room was full of portraits of the previous Lords of the Grand Dukedom and their family members..
Anisha felt strong mana here because a lot of mana stones were engraved here with magic to keep the portraits safe and secure..
"Haah ~
It's been a long time since I came here!"
Duchess Diana smiled softly..
"It's still the same.."
Marchioness Erina patted grand duchess's back..
"Ah! I miss this place!!"
"Same"
"Mmhmm.."
Marquis Bellacian, Count Lou and Marquis Verita gave a soft sigh..
"What the hell???
This is my first time here!! Why??
Damn it Audrian!!"
Marquis Patrickson shouted..
While Duke Audrian just gave him an eye roll..
As they start to keep looking at the portraits, Duchess Diana energetically introduced the pictured persons to the kids.. They also felt amazed to know more about them than the history book tells..
While the kids curiously followed the duchess, the males stood next to a dazzling portrait..
"The previous duchess was really gorgeous.."
Marquis Bellacian stated..
"Yeah.."
Count Lou nodded in approval..
"Not gonna lie, Diana is a beauty but your mother was a real fairy.."
Marquis Bellacian looked at the portrait..
Platinum hair gracefully blown away revealed emerald eyes.. She had an aura of nobility and most of all, her charming personality that captured everyone's hearts..
"I know right?
Diana may look like a fairy to others but we know her true nature.."
Marquis Patrickson commented while admiring the portrait..
"If she hears you,
You know what will happen to you right?"
Marquis Verita smirked..
"Ahem!
I said nothing..
I was silent the whole time.."
Marquis Patrickson cleared his throat and looked here and there..
"Heh!
Looks like he got scared already!"
Duke Audrian smirked aswell..
"Lol.. Did you forget that time when he got a beating from Diana because he didn't proposed Erina correctly?"
Marquis Bellacian laughed..
"Pfft!! I had to treat him for three whole days afterwards.. He was badly injured.."
Count Lou tried to surpass his laughter..
"Damn!! That was hilarious!!" (Duke)
"Yeah! And we just laughed standing there.. That was really funny!!" (Marquis Patrickson)
"Tch!
And you think that's cool?
Laughing and not helping you friend??" (Marquis Bellacian)
"Puhahaha!!
He tried so hard but couldn't escape.."
Duke Audrian slapped his own thigh while laughing hard and kind of struggling to breath..
"Pfft!! Ahem.."
Marquis Verita looked away to hold back his laughter and patted Duke's back to relax him..
"No! Don't laugh!!"
The proposal wasn't that bad you know? Atleast she said Yes!"
Marquis Patrickson made a sad face..
"Hahahaaaa"
"Hahahaaaaaaa"
......and they laughed and laughed...
While on the other side of the hall,
The kids kept looking at the portraits..
They noticed everyone of them had shiny black hair with red undertones and dazzling red eyes like fresh blood drop..
The sign of a mix blood..
They saw male hires and female hires who lead this grand dukedom into glory..
The mix blood can only produce a single child who will be the heir..
So whether it's a man or a woman, they always born with monstrous strength and power that made the whole continent shiver in fear..
But, Anisha noticed that at a certain point there's only male children..
She remembered, this has something to do with the curse..
'Only a royal blooded girl can undo the curse..'
That's what she heard...
So after that curse appeared,
not a single royal blooded female children were born again..
Not in the Royal family nor in the Ducal family..
Because, half bloods also have royal blood in them..
Because of the curse, there's only male children afterwards..
Until-
"Look at this!"
Duchess Diana stood near a big portrait..
Hearing Duchess's angelic voice, Anisha's chain of thoughts broke and she looked at the portrait infront of the Grand Duchess..
"This is Princess Aura von Legulas..
She is the Princess who fell in love with the Devil King..
And this is how the Grand Ducal family started.."
Duchess Diana smiled.. Seems like she is also enjoying herself..
"Let me tell you how this all started ~"
