Romanoff Dukedom: Plan (24)

Like the Duke, the Duchess had also changed. 

Although her personality didn't change that drastically, the Duchess that the members of the Valk League knew wasn't in front of them anymore. 

Without an ounce of compassion, she looked at each of the young men. 

"See Ius? You want to see my son?"

Fluger flinched at how cold the Duchess' voice had become. He hadn't heard that the Duchess use that kind of tone before. 

"What right do you have to say that, Herkel Avret? I came here to inform you personally about what Ius had decided on. Why are you so dissatisfied? Are you in the position to command me? Remember, this is my house, Herkel Avret."

Of course, Herkel didn't have any intentions of offending the Duchess. However, because of the confrontation he had with Fluger, Herkel's emotions were in total disarray. 

There was no room for understanding in his mind right now.
