Duchess of Rainf

Duchess of Rainf, Lady Kristine.

Kenneth was impressed by the title that the old lady had. He then began to thought about how perfect was Mijail...

"I understand the severity of the problem, so let me help," Kenneth insisted. His voice was cold and calm.

Lev heard him and sighed, "Alright, thank you for your help. Tomorrow we continue with the topic".

*******************************

Mijail looked at the lady that was in front of him. She was eating elegantly. Her manners were perfect.

'She' invited him to eat together, and he didn't have reasons to decline the invitation. Furthermore, he was already tired of the hospital's meals.

After a long period of silence, Mijail began to felt uncomfortable.

"Excuse me, madam, you seem to know me, but I don't recognize you," Mijail said cautiously. He remembered that these lady's eyes were everything but friendly and kind.

The lady looked at him and took a napkin to clean her peerless lips.

"You are right, I know you but you don't. The reason is simply: your father didn't want you to meet your grandmother," the lady said without a change in her expression.

Mijail heard the word 'grandmother' and got shocked. Then, he began to tell the similarities between the lady in front of him and his father, and they looked alike.

"Well, there must be a reason he wanted me to not meet you," Mijail said gently.

He didn't understand why his father didn't want him to meet his grandmother, but he remembered that when he was about to born, his father's family were having problems that continued even after Mijail was born.

The lady looked at the boy. She liked his green-forest eyes like her son, but the color of his hair was giving her problems to keep her calm and serene. She really hates that b*tch that seduced her precious son.

Mijail felt that the lady's eyes were shining with sinister killing intent.

"He has his reasons, but also I have mine to meet you. I'm going to be direct: I want you to give up inheriting the company and leave the family name," Lady Kristine demanded.

Mijail was stunned by the request she was asking for. However, his father told him that he would become the head of the Mo-Uh family someday. After thinking for a while, he noticed that the lady was sipping her tea with any worry showed in her face. Mijail understood that she was confident in him accepting the demand.

"I need to think about this carefully," Mijail said. He wanted to say no, but something told him that, if given a negative answer, he might not see the light again.

The lady stopped sipping her tea and looked at that boy. She remembered when his precious son was young and decline the marriage proposal. He had at that time the same eyes Mijail had right now when he answered.

"I'll wait for your answer. While you are thinking, you'll stay at this building. You can ask Gabe anything you want, but there are exceptions like a phone and computers. You can go," Lady Kristine mentioned while tasting her tea.

Mijail looked at a man in black and he guessed that surely was 'Gabe'.

********************************

Lev began to check all the papers they have about the company looking for something to trap the old witch that he has as a mother. He knew perfectly that she wanted Mijail to leave the heir position and the family. She expected to get Lev married to some woman she thought was the perfect wife and daughter-in-law and gave birth to a perfect baby. Obviously, Lev was going to decline every marriage proposal his mother gave him.

Kenneth was at the same table checking other papers. He got a call from Mr. Mo-Uh telling him the plan. If they found something to slander that old witch and recuperate Mijail from her claws.

After two days of searching, Kenneth found some interesting information and a smile appear on his cold face. When the other searchers looked at him, they felt shivers run through their bodies.

Kenneth called Mr. Mo-Uh.

"I found something interesting... Mr. Mo-Uh, do you know who was your father?" Kenneth said to Lev while giving him the papers he found.

Lev found strange the question Kenneth formulate, but when he saw the papers he was surprised and a big bright smile appeared on his tired face.

******************************

Mijail was pacing back and forward, trying to find a way to give that lady a negative answer and survive at the same time. He now understood why his father avoided her the four years he was living with him.

Mijail knew perfectly that accepting the condition the lady gave him was the easiest way to retrieve his freedom, but he also wanted to inherit the company his father worked for many years and help him with the family affairs.

"This is going to be difficult..." Mijail sighed and went to the bed in his new room.

The new room was big and also have furniture. There were a TV and a radio. However, there was nothing that could help him communicate with the exterior.

He fell on the bed, closed his eyes, and slept.

The next day, he woke up and saw a delicious breakfast: egg and bacon!

He ate it and then went to wash. Mijail wore the clothes that were in the wardrobe and got ready to give his answer to his grandmother.

Suddenly, on the TV, the reporter was telling some breaking news.

"We got information about the Duchess of Reinf, the Derlang Queen's sister, Lady Kristine, and her relationship with the Derlang King. Everyone is expecting to hear the details, but we only know that the Queen is not happy with the news and is interrogating her husband. We hope (of course we don't) that the information is false and all is a misunderstanding between family..." the reporter was overflowing with excitement. Mijail was dumbfounded by the news. Are they telling him that he is also the grandchild of the king? That was nonsense!

Lady Kristine was listening to the news, and her face grew darker at every second, "That ungrateful son of mine!" she gritted between her teeth.
