Chapter 8: Let's be Honest

-----

Madrid, Spain
Asaín Palace

As the Family of Duke Greggory Asaín continue with their meal. The gossip surrounding his father and the Ciervo clan didn't escaped his butlers ears. So, while eating Duke Greggory's butler was feeding the family with the information he have regarding the meeting between the Grand Duke, his father and Duke Joseph Ciervo.

"...it was said that his royal highness, actually enjoyed his afternoon tea while conversing with the Duke of Cordoba. It's been a long time since His royal highness invited someone privately in his home."

Duke Greggory could help but to playfully shook his head while listening to his butler who continue telling what he knew towards the meeting between the two dukes.

"It seems that Papá still treats Duke Joseph as someone he trust." Duchess Farah commented.

Duke Greggory couldn't help but to agree with his wife. His father, really wanted his Sister, the late Princess Sandra to Marry Duke Joseph Ciervo because the two is been a couple for years. And the Grand Duke Alfonso Asaín likes Duke Joseph for her but then things started happening that Duke Joseph ended up Marrying Lady Evien, the late Princess Bestfriend.

"Dad, what if.. Just what if...." Lady Franchesca said interrupting her parents thoughts. "What if Abuelo called the Duke because mi prima is inlove with the Duke's son? Lord Zielo?"

Duke Joseph and Duchess Farah shared a look, they didn't think about that. Zielo could be with Mal right now or it was just a random invitation from the Grandduke himself.

"There's that reason or maybe Papá, just really wanted to see the Duke of Cordoba to discuss some matters." Duke Joseph shrugged. With his Father he could never assume things. His father's mind works differently.

Meanwhile, as the rumors of the Grand Duke and Duke Joseph talked spread like wild fire, Duchess Evien is being warry of her husbands action.

She was trying to deduce Duke Joseph action but always failed on the process which frustrate the hell out of her. So, without his husband's consent she told her Maid Annita to book her a flight to the Philippines.

Little did she know that, another deception is coming her way once she landed in the Philippines.

"...MALANDIIII!!" Louis exclaimed.

Mabilis na nagtakip ng tenga si Mal dahil halos mabingi na sya sa sigaw ng kaibigan.

Hindi talaga sya tinantanan ng mga ito hanggat hindi nya sinabi kong sino ang kasama nya sa dalawang araw nyang bakasyon.

At the same day na umuwi si Mal ay yon din ang araw na umuwi ang mga kaibigan nya at hindi nagsabi sa kanya kaya nagulat nalang sya ng makita ang mga ito sa loob ng condo nila nong araw na yon.

Dalawang araw pa ang nagdaan bago sya na corner ng mga ito na magkwento kong saan at sino ang kasama nya sa Bakasyon and when she finaly said it both of them exclaimed and was so Happy for her.

"Details! I need details!" Mabilis na sambit ni Sarah at umupo ng maayos sa kama nya.

"Anong details? walang details. Nagbakasyon lang period." sambit nya sa dalawang kaibigan habang tinitignan nya ang mga ito ng masama.

Louis Frowned. "Wag mo kaming ginagago Maria Andrea Ledesma! Kayo lang dalawa don sa dalawang araw na yon tapos walang details? ano yon? nag bato bato pick kayong dalawa ng dalawang araw?"
