HIS UNWILLING DUCHESS
1
In the grand halls of the Hudson mansion there live a Chancellor....no one messes with him , colder than ice , his words mean more than blood, his temper is no joke
And his wife whom he married for a political alliance...the wittiest lady in the royal circle, with a beauty that could make roses shy
Mary / maid
*comes running* My Lady… the Chancellor has returned from the border
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Already? I thought he’d be gone at least a week more.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
is he angry
Mary / maid
He glared at a pigeon, my lady. The pigeon fainted.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Typical
Victor Hudson / ML 2
*enters the mansion thudding with cold aura*
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Don’t “wife” me like that. You storm in like a blizzard and expect me to smile?
Victor Hudson / ML 2
You do smile when you see me *smirks*
Mary / maid
*leaves them alone*
this ruthless man was on his knees for his sharp wife ~ but would rather die than admit
Miranda Chas / FL 2
That’s because I’m relieved you didn’t burn down the capital again
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Mm. I only threatened to.
Twice
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Of course you did.
You look like hell, Chancellor. Were you fighting ogres?
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Worse. Ministers.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Come here
Miranda Chas / FL 2
I'm already here my lord *rolls eyes*
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Closer. I haven’t seen you in ten days. I deserve compensation. *smirks*
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Compensation? What are you, a tax collector?
Victor Hudson / ML 2
If I were, I’d tax your lips. They’re looking *licks lips*…dangerously soft today.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Chancellor! *flustered*
Miranda Chas / FL 2
There are servants in the hall!
Victor Hudson / ML 2
And? Let them learn what affection looks like.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Affection? From you?
Miranda Chas / FL 2
You terrify the entire court.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
I terrify everyone except you.
Unfortunately.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Unfortunately?
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Yes. If you feared me, maybe you’d listen when I asked you not to walk around alone near the palace garden at night
Miranda Chas / FL 2
And maybe you’d listen when I tell you to stop roaming shirtless at night
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Did you miss the view? *winks*
Miranda Chas / FL 2
I.... what ....
Miranda Chas / FL 2
no absolutely not my lord , you're so shameless
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Only when it comes to you.
Be grateful, wife. No one else gets this treatment.

Only when it comes to you.
Be grateful, wife. No one else gets this treatment.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Why me
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Because you’re the only one who doesn’t run screaming when I talk.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Your crude language with me could make all the ministers rethink about you Chancellor
Victor Hudson / ML 2
But you like it.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
I tolerate it.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Which, in your language, means you like it.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Take your armour off before you collapse. You look exhausted.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Are you worried?
Miranda Chas / FL 2
if you fall on me in that armour, I’ll die.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Better death than letting you slip away while I’m gone.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
You say the most ridiculous things.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Not ridiculous. True.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
Go rest, Chancellor
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Rest beside me.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
You just returned! Shouldn’t you report to the Emperor?
Victor Hudson / ML 2
I’d rather report to my wife first.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
In my bedroom.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
With fewer clothes involved.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
YOU—
I’m leaving *flustered*
Victor Hudson / ML 2
*laughs* Come back . I brought you a gift.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
It better not be another dagger engraved with something stupid.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
This one says “For my wife who pretends not to miss me.”
Miranda Chas / FL 2
I---
I do NOT pretend---
Victor Hudson / ML 2
Hm . You hesitated
Miranda Chas / FL 2
If you don’t shut up, I’ll throw you back to the border.
Victor Hudson / ML 2
You’d miss me before I crossed the gate.
Miranda Chas / FL 2
In your dreams, Chancellor. *walks away*
Victor Hudson / ML 2
that would certainly be the sweetest dream my Miranda *mutters slowly*

Kings, princes, dukes, and high ministers filled the room as noble ladies lined up each hoping their beauty might win them a crown.
Seraphina Vitts / FL 1
*looking radiant in a gown of ivory silk*
Since childhood she had been told she was born to be a queen though she was a minister's daughter and not a princess.Today, she hoped the kings who promised to marry her would fulfill it
Seraphina Vitts / FL 1
*clutches her gown lightly as the bride choosing ceremony starts*
King Rowan *stepping forward*-
…Princess Elira of the Western Isles. I choose you.
Seraphina Vitts / FL 1
(That wasn’t right. Rowan had sworn he would choose me. That he adored my face, my grace) *blinks in disbelief*
King Arvel - Princess Rinna of Arvad I choose you
Seraphina Vitts / FL 1
*Heartbeat thudded painfully*
Seraphina Vitts / FL 1
( it's okay I should keep hope maybe the next king will choose me)
Seraphina Vitts / FL 1
*Held her chin high, trying not to show the tremble in her fingers*
King Halden- *eyes sliding past her* Princess Lyra.
Every king who once promised her the throne now pretended she didn’t exist.
Seraphina Vitts / FL 1
*feels very humiliated*
Seraphina Vitts / FL 1
*tears welling but not letting them fall*
*Whispers around Seraphina*
1- She thought she’d be queen?
2- Poor minister’s daughter… did she really believe those kings?
3- Royalty will never pick a common-born lady no matter how beautiful she is
Seraphina Vitts / FL 1
*in a broken whisper* they all lied to me
At that moment the hall suddenly fell silent.
A silence so heavy even the kings paused.
