Duke's wife

Chapter 42

As she glared at Owen, who was blocking her way, Owen smirked and pointed his finger at the book she had hidden from Duke Albertons study.

Grace, thinking he might snatch it, quickly wrapped her hands around the book and said, grinding her teeth at Owen.

"What the hell do you want from me, Your Highness?"

"I've been saying this for a while. Have a conversation with me. Thats all I need."

"Your Highness, what do you have to say to me? Now, Your Highness should have more conversations with Lady Marianne, the main character of todays party, than I do."

When Marianne's name came out of Graces mouth, Owens forehead was wrinkled. Owen glared at Grace as if he was displeased.

"Why do you refuse now when you say I'll hide everything if you give me just 30 minutes? To you, my proposal is quite beneficial, isnt it?"

"!"

"And no matter how much you are a Duchess, don't you think your attitude is too rude to me, the Crown Prince? Do you think its okay for me to rebuke Duke Felix for this matter?"

Seeing Grace's stubborn look, Owen lowered his words and said sarcastically to her.

Grace stared at Owen with resentful eyes, unable to speak. Then Owen burst into a low laugh. It meant that he won this gruesome battle of power.

Eventually, Grace sighed and spoke to him with a complicated look on her face.

"I don't know what the hell you want to talk about with me, but its good. Okay, Your Highness. Grace Felix, I will obey your order."

However, the smile disappeared from Owen's face when he saw Grace's treatment of him as a Crown Prince with the respect he wanted.

Owen looked down at Grace for a while with a strangely stiff face, and soon sighed and pointed to a nearby bench.

"Then let's sit there for a bit."

Now, as Owen completely threw away the polite way and ordered Grace with an arrogant attitude, Grace followed him with an expressionless face.

After that, Grace leaned on the edge of the bench to avoid him, who was sitting in the center of the bench, as much as possible, said to Owen, who looked at her with strange eyes.

"Okay, now, Ive done what Your Highness wanted me to do. So its your turn now, Your Highness. What kind of conversation do you want to have with me like this?"

Owen just stared at her without answering her words as if he wanted to end the conversation quickly.

For a few minutes, Grace urged him again with a slightly irritated voice as Owen kept looking at her with a strange look.

Why are you taking so much time? What the hell are you trying to say!

"Do you really love that monster, Duke Arthur Felix?"

But at that moment Owen, who had been staring at her with a strange silence until now, asked her that.

The question was completely unexpected for Grace, so she looked at him with a bewildered expression and said.

"Why is your highness curious about that?"

"Why? Is it difficult to answer?"

Grace answered him with a pretty cheeky false smile at Prince Owen, who asked graciously.

"Ha, yes. I'm in love with him."

Graces answer was a declaration to Owen and an affirmation of her feelings that were still a bit confused.
