A different story

The baron frowned when he looked at me with wonder, "what are you talking about, my lady? Do not tell me that you fell for his act of innocence." he asked in a bit of a disappointed and infuriated tone.

A smirk formed on my face as I looked back at him, "no! But I wonder why you did not fall for his act? Since you have trusted him since ages.

And why is it that you never come here to meet him?" he looked at me dumbfounded by my sudden questions. I raised a brow as I looked at the layer of dust that was formed on the walls.

Even if he had planned all the acts to mislead me! How could he form a layer of dust on the walls which take weeks to form?

"So, you are the heir of the baronship here?" I asked as I raised a hand on my cheek. He looked disgusted by my act yet nodded his head. My fingers moved to his chin and I raised it high so that his eyes could meet me.
