Duke's Daughter Margarita Frost Reporting for Duty

Being your shoulder to cry on

Margarita is outside the cell crossing her arms.

"Young miss, we already did what you want."
The guard happily smiles flattering the noble woman.

X walks to them and gave the promise money.

"Remember, I will come everyday here to gave you the money. Remember to 'unintentionally' make him hears how I struggle to meet him."

Margarita said and left to climb in her carriage.
X follows her.

The guards all look at each other.

"Is she trying to appeal to him? Isn't it too late for that prince?"
The guard said.

"That's impossible. The Queen will save him no matter what. So don't antagonized him unlike that leacherous old bat*rd. Let's just earn easy money as the young miss wants."

"Alright."

--

Alan sighs.
He pats his mother's body.
"Stop crying mother."

Slap.
His hand is slaps by his mother away.

The Queen glares at him.
"What is your used? I struggle to gave birth to you but you are like this! Can't even do anything for your brother?!"

Alan looks away.
He is frowning hard.
"Maybe you shouldn't gave birth to me then---"
Alan covers his mouth
"I'm sorry mother...That is not what I mean--"

"Maybe I really shouldn't have."

The Queen said and left him all alone.

Alan is standing there without moving.
He is looking down.
Slowly he sighs.
He knows that her mother doesn't like him.
The queen didn't want to get pregnant and just focus on Diego but he came. She can't kill the King's son so she has no choice but to gave birth to him.
The King tricked her that he is sickly.
And feed him poison.
Even his mother is taking that poison unknown to her knowledge.
Cause the King only loves Dwayn's mother. Yet she(Zelmona) got married to someone else.

Alan sighs.

Knock.
Knock.

"A letter for you, your highness." An awkward trembling voice echoed outside.
It is strange voice.
Alan is used to it.
Maids avoided him in fear the Queen will laid them off like what she did to his most trusted maid, Lilac.

"Come in." Alan said and sits on the sofa chair.
He is sighing as he closed his eyes and reach his hand to get the letter.

But the letter is not handed over.

Alan opens his eyes and see Miguelito in a maid uniform.

"Pffftt--"

Alan can't help but laugh.

"What the--"

Suddenly, his bad mood changes.

Miguelito grins

"Am I pretty your highness?" He said in a cherry tone twirling his skirt.

Alan looks around and relieved to see nobody.

"Idiot! What are you doing here? You know how chaotic it is right now! If mother caught you, she will eat you." Alan laughs.

Miguelito flips his wig.
"I am not afraid. I am a beauty and brain. I won't easily get caught."

Alan laughs.
"What the hell is that voice? Are you trying to sound like a woman or an alien?"

Miguelito smiles.
"As long as I can make you happy."

Alan smiles.
"You idiot."
He pats the space next to him.
"Why are you here?"

"I came with a bad news but hearing what happened to Diego...Should I still continue to tell you~~ Is what I'm thinking."

Alan shakes his head.
"I don't care about Diego. But I am concerned what bad news you bring to me."

"Oh...ah...Your first love Lilac...She's married and pregnant so just forget about her."

Alan smile disappear in the instant.

Miguelito nervously pats his back.
"Should I....breaks that to you slowly?"
