Emily heard the grand duke say that and could only stand up. The Grand Duke pulled her down to one side, smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you like that."
Emily heard the grand duke say that and quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, taking care of the grand duchess is not too hard."
The Grand Duke shook his head, clearly not believing Emily's words to be true. Emily, seeing the grand duke like that, didn't say anything more. At this moment, a servant came running up, with a panicked look on his face and said: "Your Excellency, the grand duchess has woken up, and is demanding to see Miss Emily. We can't stop the grand duchess. "
When Emily heard that, she quickly got up and went to the Grand Duchess's room. In the room, the Grand Duchess was frantically struggling to get rid of her servant. As soon as she saw Emily, she shouted: "My daughter, did they do something to you? Hurry up and come to my side, I won't let them harm you."
Looking at the appearance of the Grand Duchess, it was obvious that she was not very alert. Emily took a step back, her mind replaying the assurance she had made yesterday. She thought to herself that after only being here for three days, maybe she should be really dedicated. Emily swallowed, walked step by step to the side of the grand duchess, smiled and said: "I am always here, mother, as long as you call, I will always appear."
Although the Grand Duchess did not look alert, when she held her hand, she was extremely gentle. Maybe she really thought she was her daughter.
So poor.
Emily thought to herself and then softened. She used her eyes to signal all the servants to move away. The servant also understood what she meant, but someone was still worried: "The Grand Duchess is really dangerous when she's sick. Do you really not need our help?"
Emily smiled at the servant's goodwill, and said softly, "It's okay. The Grand Duchess won't harm me."
Hearing that, the servant let go of his hand and then stepped aside.
Emily smiled at the Grand Duchess and said, "Mom, we should wash our faces and eat breakfast."
The Grand Duchess heard Emily say that as if she had just woken up. She looked at Emily, hurriedly said: "Yes, let's hurry up, my daughter must be hungry."
Emily took the hand and led the Grand Duchess out of the room. When the Grand Duke saw Emily, he nodded, silently expressing his gratitude. Emily shook her head, indicating that it was nothing.
Everything went very smoothly, after brushing her teeth and washing her face, Emily led the Grand Duchess down to the dining room. During the meal, the Grand Duchess kept feeding her food, saying: "Eat a lot of my daughter, you look really thin."
Emily nodded, accepting the grand duchess' good intentions. The meal of three people looked so warm, it looked like a real family. The Grand Duke looked at his wife, feeling only the tip of his nose sting. He blinked to hold back his tears, his wife was in so much pain. There is no greater pain than losing a child, let alone losing three children.
After breakfast, Emily coaxed the Grand Duchess to take her medicine again. She looked at the Grand Duchess and said softly, "Mom, take your medicine, we'll go for a walk in the garden later, okay?"
When the Grand Duchess heard that, her eyes lit up and asked with a smile: "Really? But I still want to go to many places, I can't just walk in the garden."
Emily smiled and nodded: "Okay, we will go to many places."
After the Duchess finished taking the medicine, Emily led her to the garden. The atmosphere in the garden was very warm, which should be able to improve the condition of the Grand Duchess.
Emily poured tea for the Grand Duchess. The Grand Duchess looked at her and said softly, "It's good that you're here. I'll always be by your side, right?"
Perhaps there was something in the mind of the grand duchess as well. She worries about her daughter leaving her. But what to do? Emily is not the daughter of the grand duchess either. If she agreed now, she would be held accountable to the Grand Duchess for this lie when she left. And if she didn't agree, there was no need to think about it, knowing that the grand duchess would go mad, and her condition would get worse.
It was true that Emily was confused when suddenly the sound of a servant was heard outside the door.
Earl Bratt suddenly arrives at the grand duke's house.
In retrospect, it seems that Count Bratt did not appear at the funeral yesterday. Today perhaps the earl has come to offer condolences.
Emily didn't mind too much, but the earl's voice was already near her: "Oh, look who I see."
Emily raised her head, as expected to see Earl Bratt walking this way. He was dressed in formal attire today, looking very serious and self-contained, if we could ignore the unruly smile on his face for the time being.
Emily bowed her head in salute, and when she raised her head, her expression was filled with astonishment. Because she saw Lyli walking beside Earl Bratt. For a moment, Emily didn't know if she should be happy because Lyli was okay or feel awkward because she knew Lyli's malice in the past.
Of course, Lyli also saw Emily. There was a flash of disgust in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She followed Bratt with her head bowed, looking like a sensible servant.
Bratt looked at Emily, smiled and asked, "Now you're no longer Andrew's servant, but the grand duchess's servant? Well, how could Andrew let you go? Or he was? I'm tired of you."
Emily frowned at Bratt, not saying a word. Bratt looked over his shoulder, said something "uninteresting", was about to go inside the house when he heard the Grand Duchess say: "Bratt came over to my house to play, I wonder what's going on."
Bratt looked a little surprised at the Grand Duchess. The daughter just died, with the character of the grand duchess, it should be pitiful and close to death. Why does she look so relaxed?
Bratt was about to answer when the grand duke came out of the house. He looked so rushed. As soon as the Grand Duke saw Bratt, he quickly said: "Is Earl Bratt coming. Come on, hurry inside."
Although normally Bratt looked groggy, his eyes were still there. He looked at the grand duchess, then back at the grand duchess, smiled and said: "Yes, let's go inside."
The Grand Duke and Bratt entered the house, Lyli following Earl Bratt. Emily also took the Grand Duchess by the hand and led her into the house.
Emily saw that the Grand Duchess wanted to sit down next to the Grand Duchess and hurriedly found an excuse to stop her. She thought perhaps Earl Bratt and the grand duke had something to say to each other. And the Grand Duchess is sick, it's inconvenient.
Emily looked at the Grand Duchess and said, "Mom, you need to rest."
Bratt raised his eyebrows when he heard that name, and looked at Emily in surprise. Lyli also raised her head, her eyes full of surprise and envy.
Emily led the Grand Duchess into her room, coaxing the Grand Duchess to sleep for a while.
When she went out, everything was back to normal. Perhaps the grand duke had explained to Earl Bratt why she called the grand duchess "mother".
The Grand Duke saw Emily leave, smiled and said, "Emily, sit down beside me."
Emily hastily refused, lowering her head to stand beside the grand duke. The Grand Duke knew that he couldn't advise her, so it was okay. Although he always felt very familiar to Emily, it seemed that she did not feel the same way. Too many rituals restrained her.
Bratt looked at Emily and suddenly said: "Although it was said to treat the lady, she still looks like her. They are both a great beauty, just now I almost believed that Emily was a girl. that of the grand duke."
Bratt hung a defiant smile on his face. For some reason, Bratt's smile always seemed full of ill will.
Emily lowered her head and said nothing. When the Grand Duke heard that, he was a little surprised. He looked at Emily, feeling that Earl Bratt's words were not without morals either.
Not to mention her face, Emily's hair color was exactly the same as that of the Grand Duchess in her youth. All three of their daughters have such beautiful platinum hair. This is a very rare hair color, a commoner like Emily shouldn't have.
A great thought arose in the heart of the grand duke. Could Emily really be their child?
The Grand Duke put this aside for the time being. He and Earl Bratt have something to talk about, so Emily and Lyli are going out.
Outside, Emily and Lyli didn't say a word to each other. Emily felt they had nothing to say to each other either. Now that I think about it, I just feel stupid before. Obviously, Lyli's disguise had a hundred thousand holes, but she still didn't realize it, fortunately, she was not successfully harmed by her plan.
Lyli also silently gritted her teeth. She realized that Earl Bratt wasn't playing the scary servant death as rumored. But her life at Earl Bratt's place was also not very happy, really, life was not as good as death.
