FIRST DAUGHTER'S RESPONSIBILITIES

451 Words
The whole dining hall fell silent. " How insolent?" The duchess scolded . " How dare you put words in fathers mouth." Alara, the second daughter, spoke, covering her mouth with a small white handkerchief . Irene, the duchesses first daughter, slowly sized Lilac up with a small mocking smile. The duke looked on, watching the calm Lilac with gentle eyes . Once a certain someone had asked him " Husband, did you marry me as a replacement?" Shaking his head, he said, "You have to fulfil your first daughters responsibilities. Lilac, it is what you owe this family for raising you up for all these years. " Lilacs eyes chilled ,her whole countenance changing " Owe....., what do I owe you, huh? " " What do you mean?" the duke asked, his voice slowly changing, " your duchess mother has been handing all the funds for your upkeep all these years to your aunt in the countryside." " Dear Father ........ which aunt " Lilac chuckled stuffing a grape under the silk mask. The duchesses face drained of colour. Standing up, she said, " Please confirm your facts before coming to ask about a debt , and oh don't act like you don't know I haven't debuted into high society if you want to even try to make me do anything you should at least give me a befitting debut ball". The duke stared, his mouth hanging slightly open , guilt thick in his gaze as he watched Lilac storm out of the dining hall. He shook his head, fixing his gaze on the duchess. Way down the hall, she heard the duchessse's screams and the dukes angry shout. " hehehe , dorian, am I naughty?" she smiled cheekily, jumping up to the beam where dorian had been lying concealed in the darkness . " My lord is magnificen....." " shhh." Lilac shushed him, pressing closely without paying attention to dorian, who deeply swallowed, looking at her with an unreadable look in his eyes . The duke stormed out of the hall ,summoning his own shadow guard, Sir Illis, who quickly fell on one knee " Is it true?" the duke asked solemnly, " Yes, my lord lady Lilac has been living in a small shed on the mountains for all these years. Meanwhile, Lady Maria's the duchessse's sister's house is in Lingwood County. " The duke sighed trembling slightly " okay , he said softly, escort the duchess to the west wing , she needs to atone for her sins and Immediately start making preparations, I am going to give her the greatest debut ball the world has ever seen , that's the least I could do for her".
