9 Duchess of Amaria

"S-so beautiful..." I mutter as I stare at the woman right in front of me.

I arrive the Duke's territory after traveling for almost an entire week! Yes, I wasted an entire week doing nothing but wait! I can do nothing!

And so, I arrive the Duke's palace with a stern face, but my expression soon changed when I saw the beautiful and majestic lady in front of me.

Duchess Rafaela Amaria, the current head of the Amaria. She reigned the throne after the end of civil war by the order of the king. Since the duke doesn't hold any more power, he unwillingly obeyed. But, I think he just made an awesome decision. A very good one I might say!

If this is the girl I will marry, then I will protect her at all cost! Of course, including my parents.

"P-please don't stare at me too much..." the girl mumble to herself, however it is loud enough for me to hear and thus,

'Gaah!' something struck my chest that made me lay down to the ground!

I see, I think I'm in heaven. I'm not just going to be a duke, but also be the husband of such a heroine. I can wish no more!

Wait, I think this is one of those Goddess' scheme. She might be hiding some sort of trap! Yes, just like what she did to me!

And so, I fix my composure after lying from the ground and examine the girl. Let's see, she had a beautiful long shining blonde hair, a silvery eyes, and umm... a, what do you call this again? C, D,? Ah yes! She's a D cup! And she also have a well proportioned body that define her body more amazingly! However, the most dangerous, the monsters that lurks around a maiden's body. The thighs and butts!!!

I can't help myself, I can't help but be arouse. I want to taste this girl, I can't let other man have this, I cannot let them! If a man touches her other than me, I will be sure to not only kill but to torture them until they cry with bloods!

However, that can wait. Let's first see if she can be trusted to bear this maiden's heart. Yes, my heart!

"Greetings, Duchess of Amaria. I am Verian Zortes, eldest and the former heir of the House Zortes. A pleasure to meet you." I made a bowing stance as I respect the gorgeous lady in front of me.

"L-Likewise, Lord Verian. I'm Rafaela Amaria, the current head of the Amaria family, I hope we can get along with this coming years..." She has a low voice. Is it normal for her? Well, it doesn't matter, I will do everything for her either way!

And after that an awkward silence spread. I don't really know what I should be doing right now. Please help? Servants? Anyone?

"A-ah! I-I'm very sorry, Lord Verian. P-please come this way!" Wait, why is the duchess the one that escorts us? Isn't this suppose to be the ser- oh wait, I see...

She doesn't possess any power here. I see, I see. From the look of her servants I can already guess the situation. My poor fiancee, don't worry I'll help you out once things settle between us.

We arrive to a certain door. It has a majestic texture in it just like my fiancee has. However, as soon as we enter, an entirely different dimension appear!

"Woah..." I instinctively let out a word out of admiration. She really did here amazingly huh. Well, I guess I should explain it.

What I see is a jade like room full of pearl looking crystal spreading through the gaps between the windows. The room is also wide enough for 10 to 15 large bed to be place, and a space will still be available to walk. But the most amazing is not those, but the paintings that hangs on the wall. They have a realistic paint on them and not only one, not only two, but almost a hundred of them hang on the wall!

"This painting-"

"Ah, yes. I did them when I'm bored and because they will only be thrown, I hang them here in 'our' room."

I gulp instinctively again upon hearing the word 'our'. Despite her being a meek girl, she's kinda blunt about it. I don't know why but I really feel arouse as of now that I can't even wait to jump on her!

But that can still wait. I need to act like a dignified noble, yes. I just need to wear this mask for a short while and I'll take it off after that. And so I sigh. And sigh again. I perform a deep breath in order to calm my self down.

"So this will be our room, huh?"

Rafaela blush a bit after hearing me. Wait, I just repeated her words!

"Y-yes, do you like it? I can take the paint away if y-"

"No, I love them."

"Wha-" Rafaela look at me with shock as I blatantly said and made her blush even more.

"T-thank you, Lord Verian." She thank me after stating the obvious? Come on, how much will you make me fall for you, my fiancee? I'm already at my limit you know?

"Verian is fine. Though can I call you Rafaela?" I suggests her changing the way she calls me, however she merely nodded. I think I just made her upset, did I?

"E-ela..."

"Hmm? Ela?" who's Ela?

"Y-you can call me Ela. That's what my parents call me."

Oh! Is that so? Well, no problem on that, Moreover, I find it cute too!

"It's a pleasure to know your nickname, Ela." I simply smile at her and made her blush even more as she turn her head away! I can't do this anymore, I wanna attack her!!!

"Ehem!" Suddenly, I loud cough break my delusions. There, I saw my personal maid who hold an infant covered in rag, and a girl who has a stern face.

Ah, I completely forgot about them. My sister is clearly mad, I am sure about it.

"O-Olivia, my dear sister. Why haven't you spoken before? You should've done so, so I can speak with you, you know?" I tried to find an excuse in order to save myself from her wrath however, things aren't always amazing.

My sister raise her hand and slap me hard, hard enough for me to turn my face to the other way around!

Daaaamn!! It fucking hurts!!! Why does this young lady so good when slapping! This is my second time getting slapped at! The first one was when I met her after arriving at our home. I just left my carriage and tried to sniff some fresh air and what welcome me was a hard slap that made my whole body vibrates from the pain!

"Y-you... Don't you think you're being too harsh to your brother, Olivia?!" as soon as I regain my posture, I scold my sister.

"Enough! You were being lovey dovey with your Fiancee and completely forgot about us right after we enter the palace! You foolish brother! I hate you! I despise you! Don't talk to me ever again!"

"W-wait, Olivia!" and so, she ran through the palace until she met with her prince charming. After that they leave happily ever after. But wait, that's not what happen!!!

I manage to hold her arms before she starts to run.

"I'm sorry, Olivia, I didn't know. Your foolish brother really forgot about it, but please can you forgive him?" I made a puppy face to convince her in which, unexpectedly able to convince her.

"A-alright, but this will be the last time okay?" I see, she just wanted to be with his brother, huh. Since we never seen each other for a long time. I can finally guess why she's like this.

"I promise, it's because I love you my little sister,"

"Ewww!! What are you saying, brother, I can't marry you, you know?" Just for a moment, I think I just died after hearing my sister's complain.

"What are you saying! Haha" and so, I only hide my emotion to my lovingly sister.

I soon return my attention towards my fiancee. She's merely standing still in front of our room as she watch and observe our little argument with a sad face. Despite knowing this, I simply set it aside since it might become a bad topic to discuss.

Afterwards, we are able to discuss matters regarding our marriage. And for the night, well unfortunately, nothing happened since we sleep from a different bed though inside 'our' room.

I don't know, I think I just wanted to willingly wait more and do not regret things that might become my downfall. I just want to know more about this meek girl. I want to know more in order to protect her. Yes, I want her.

I already love her.
