63 Baby Shower day (4)

Dante did not respond to her question right away as he knew what she was asking about. Why did he not tell the truth rather than making everyone think the duchess wanted to kill annalise's unborn child?

Why did he make the duchess a wicked woman in everyone's eyes?

''...If you had revealed that it was your maid, they would think of it as a scheme.'' He replied after a short while. Even if they smile and flatter her now, she is still seen as the third party in his marriage. They won't believe that she has a kind heart.

In Dante's opinion, what he did was plausible. Annalise was pregnant, and he did not need negativity from nobles to disturb her peace. Unlike the duchess, she has minor experience with the society.

Fake smiles, Fake concerns, Fake flatters, Fake friendship, Fake words…In the nobility many wore masks to achieve their goals, just like the marchioness chauvez.
