Chapter 95: The Library-I



Chapter 95: The Library-I

Duke Gary and Lady Ellen could only shut their mouths tightly after his words. Lady Ellen may wish to become the wife of the Lord but before that she knew who was Ian White and the rumors that had always surrounding him. Most of the rumors were dark that one wouldn\'t wish to hear as it would leave them with sleepless night, haunted by the story.

Lady Ellen and Duke Garry was left confused by Ian\'s sudden outburst of anger as they didn\'t know what they had done to gain the Lord\'s anger. The whole time they had done nothing but curry favor to be on the Lord\'s grace which had been good as the man had been smiling and laughing only until the maid\'s mistake. They could only curse at Elise inwardly in their heart for ruining everything they had worked hard for.

The smile on Ian\'s lips had died down, fallen low with his red eyes hinted the ire he didn\'t bother to hide. He wasn\'t in the good mood since the morning when the stupid humans had barged inside his castle and as if it wasn\'t enough, they had demeaned Elise who had made a slight mistake. Ian could tell Lady Ellen\'s shoes wasn\'t dirtied and the woman had only overreact on the small mistake Elise did.

"You two seems to be full enough and well enough to continue with your hunt." Ian said, folding the napkin throwing it down to the side of the table. "Leave." His one word was a sign of to the two humans.

Elise only stood in her place not knowing what she should do now and had to held her hands in front of her waist to calm herself. It wasn\'t often that she saw Ian angry as every time she was beside him, there was always a smile he settled on his lips. The smile maybe mischievous like a person who would kill in a glee but she found his smile to be the sweet and to find him angry made her feel small at her spot.

Duke Gary frowned, hoping they could fixed the lunch again that was good only until the stupid maid did and spoke, "Milord-"

"I still have an important appointment. Don\'t make me repeat my words. It\'s something I dislike the most with the second following is to give other a second choice." Ian interjected with his words that have no place for any of the two to oppose. His red eyes then fell at Duke Gary who seemed to have understand his anger had come. "Unless you two want your head to leave your necks and roll on the floor now."

Duke Gary glared at Elise\'s way which she noticed and so did Lady Ellen who had glared daggers at Elise. Lady Ellen was angry at the maid who had destroyed the good time she had with the Lord. It was just half an hour ago when the Lord had smiled to her direction but now she find only glare from him. It wasn\'t Lady Ellen\'s first time to meet the Lord every time there was an opportunity for her to meet the Lord, she would utilize the chance as best as she could, so she could gain favor to Ian\'s heart and now she was afraid if everything she had worked hard for was ruined by one simple mistake.

It wasn\'t out of a coincidence that Lady Ellen had chose this day to visit White\'s Mansion by using the excuse of hunting. Yesterday she was in a shock to hear that Ian had visited the soiree with a woman and the news said that the woman wasn\'t Cynthia who was the Lord\'s aide; but a different lady who had a bright red hair. When she had entered the castle, she spotted the only maid who had a bright red hair, reminding her of the woman the rumors had which was why she had vented her anger more than necessary.

The lady regretted her action now but not because she had learned her mistake but because she wasn\'t able to spend more time with the Lord due to this.

Ian looked at them who was still seated on the chair, his brows lifting up, "What are you still doing here? Waiting for a grim reaper to take your life?" The subtle threaten made Duke Gary and Lady Ellen to be startled on their chair. They knew that the Lord was someone who no one could predict or guess of but there was never once he didn\'t fulfill his words.

Duke Gary and Lady Ellen clenched their palm, wanting to speak, but they had been ordered to get out of the room. They knew the reason why Ian hadn\'t killed them now when he had the chance to. It was because the Church\'s protection on them but how long would it last? Ian had never feared to be the enemy of the Church.

Standing up, they gave a how and curtsied to the Lord who didn\'t bother to look at them or return the greeting. Elise who saw the Lady moving back, moved backward for her back to reach the wall to meet eye with the glare Lady Ellen directed at her but did not look up to stop any unnecessary fights to happen.

Lady Ellen stormed out of the castle with anger, biting her red lips with fuming anger as she entered the carriage with her father, the duke. The coachman who had closed the door shut to receive one glare from Lady Ellen when the man had been too slow to open the carriage door.

The lady sat across her father, her beautiful face were now directed with anger. All the time, she had presented herself as naive with a gentle smile but the truth was a far cry from it, Lady Ellen was an ambitious woman, a trait she received from his father who thrive for a higher position.

Since the coming of age, Lady Ellen didn\'t bother to give an eye to the men who had courted her. She had set her eyes to one person in the Land, the man who was in the highest position of all, Ian White. And she had planned to gather all his attention to her which was working well until today. It was all due to the red headed maid who had ruined her good mood, thought Lady Ellen and her hands clenched.

"Ellen. You were too hasty today." Duke Gary said with a disappointed look but Ellen didn\'t need her father\'s words she knew that she had done wrong in the dining room before!

"I know." she uttered with an irritated tone that she managed to keep down in front of her father. Everything she worked for almost go down in drain and she didn\'t know if the Lord was still interested with her. "It was all because of the maid! If she hadn\'t given me a dirtied napkin this wouldn\'t have happened!" Ellen whined, and drew her brows closely. Remembering Elise\'s face she wished she could whip the maid like what she had often did to the maids who had disrespect her in her house.

"Forget about today. From now on don\'t make a single mistake ever again. There will be more time for you two to be together and make an impressive time with him. Once you have become the Lord\'s wife, you could do whatever you wish and fulfill your dreams." This has Ellen to smile, her father\'s words was what she wished for. The position beside the Lord was something that everyone wished and she would be the one to be sitting there.

Duke Gary didn\'t missed the time when Ian had smiled to his daughter and believe there will be an opportunity for her to make up for what had been wronged today as long as there would be more time for them to interact. If his daughter could marry the Lord, his family and his position would raise again though he was one of the highest people in the Land as the Duke, it wasn\'t enough until he could secure the relation of the Lord.

"But daddy, what about the woman who came with the Lord? What if she and the Lord is..." she let her father filled her words.

Duke Gary chuckled, "Don\'t fret it is possibly a new hobby the Lord pick up, They had said that the woman was of the lower class. Poor people only have a few days to enjoy live with they way they did now." This made Ellen\'s to smile she gave a thought of the idea before she had asked but she was still feeling unfair that someone had stolen what she had kept an eye on.
