Chasing His Grace

Chapter 7 - The Young Duke

Chapter 7 - The Young Duke

Sep 07, 2025

"I'm afraid this section of the palace is strictly forbidden to you, Lady Clementine. Only His Grace, the Duke, and those servants in whom he places utmost trust are permitted to venture hither, owing to certain... delicate circumstances." Baron Elesten talks to Lady Clementine as he pointed out a hallway. 

"Baron Elesten, I assure you, I shall most willingly acquiesce to your request. As a lady of propriety, I do not indulge in idle curiosity or meddling in the affairs of others, and thus, I implore you, do not trouble yourself on that account." Lady Clementine talks in a soft reassuring tone as he gaze locks with Baron Elesten.


"Indeed, Lady Clementine? I daresay, your discretion is most becoming. Very well, I shall escort you no further, but do be assured that His Grace's wishes are to be respected. Pray, let us proceed no further, lest we inadvertently trespass upon forbidden ground." Baron Elesten talks coldly as he leaves Lady Clementine in the hallway. 

"I daresay, Lady Clementine, you are familiar with the location of your chambers? In that case, I shall bid you adieu and take my leave, for I have other matters that require my attention." Baron Elesten talks before leaving Lady Clementine. 



"Baron Elesten, pray, wait! I must inquire: did the late Duke have twin offspring? The imperial document entrusted to me by His Majesty suggests that the former Duke had but a single child. Forgive my curiosity, but I am compelled to clarify this seeming discrepancy." Lady Clementine talks as she hold his two hands and ask Baron Elesten with a calm expression.



"Indeed, Lady Clementine, the late Duke William was blessed with twin offspring. It appears, perhaps, that His Imperial Majesty's records may be incomplete regarding the particulars of the former Duke's family. And, I must say, I find it somewhat intriguing, Lady Clementine, that you would express a desire to avoid prying into the affairs of others, yet you seem most curious about the personal life of the former Duke." Baron Elesten replied in somewhat eerie manner as he talks to Lady Clementine in the hallway.


"Forgive me Lady Clementine for I have let my emotions take over me. If we're done then I will get going now." Baron Elesten talks with a sudden change in expression, from eerie to calm as he leaves the hallway. 



Lady Clementine roamed at the Manor to fill her curiousity. She was astonish as she saw the lively maids and servants working together. She thought of why was the Dukedom describe as an ominous place when it's the contrast. Upon roaming the Manor, She encountered the two Young Masters in the library studying together. It's a sight that shows their bond as a brothers in her perspective but in reality, it's quite different.


"That is the Young Masters of the Dukedom, how adorable studying together. If only I could take those two boys to the Countdom." 


"Should I greet them, but what if they distance their selves to me. They still be wary of me since they don't know me."


"Let's greet the Young Masters, just a touch in that cheeks and we're done, ohh how adorable." Lady Clementine eyes widened out of awe as she saw the Young Masters in the library.


Meanwhile at the table where the two Young Masters are sitting, the two boys had a quarrel over a one book. 

"I cannot believe that I will live the day where I spent all my time with my dear nephew." Young Master Stephen mutters as he read a book at the side of Young Master Nicholas.


"Bear with it Stephen, you are not the Duke when you're in your child form instead you are my twin brother. You'll be hanging out with me even though you don't want to." Young Master Nicholas look and tease Young Master Stephen sitting in his side while wearing a sarcastic face upon closing a book. 


"Nicholas, remember that I'm still the head of the Dukedom, if you ever say something.." Young Master Nicholas interrupted the fuming Young Master Stephen words.


"What could my brother do?, ohh my dear brother, if only you know how much I waited for this. Every night, I always pray to the gods to give me a brother. My day is very lonely since I'm the only child living in this Manor." Young Master Nicholas talks with a relief expression.

"Just give me that book already if you want to know more about the Izra culture." Young master Stephen stares at Young Master Nicholas and take a deep sigh. 

"I guess being a child is a blessing, you didn't tell me about this Nicholas. I would have search you a playmate if you had tell me this matter. The book of Izra contains a lot of symbols that is hard to decipher, it was written in the last Izrac language so give me the book so I can tell you the meaning." Young Master Stephen leaned in to get the book but Young Master Nicholas hold it and raise it in the air. 


"You can't Stephen, I will work myself out until I decipher the meaning. I will not give you the book." Young Master Nicholas raised raise the book as he look at Young Master Stephen with an angry face.


"I said give me the book, why won't you give it to me?. Do you not want my help?." Young Master Stephen stares at Young Master Nicholas in an angry way. 


"Greetings to the Young Masters of the Dukedom. Give me that book and I will read it first." Lady Clementine gets the book in Young Master Nicholas hands.


"Why won't you accept my help?"

"I said, I want to work with it" a quarrel from the two Young Masters. 


"Now now you two, what's the matter?, why are fighting over a book?, do you know that fighting with each other is undignified." Lady Clementine stares at the two Young Masters as she ask them.


"He wants me to give him the book because he wants to help me but I want to work with my self, I don't want to receive any help." Young Master Nicholas talks in a soft tone with an eyes that is ready to cry. 


"I just want to help you, but you keep rejecting my help. That book is hard to decipher, I don't know why you don't need me to help you." Young Master Stephen also talks with a soft tone with an eyes ready to cry. 


"Waaah, waah, waah." The two young Masters cried that left an unforgettable impression to Lady Clementine.


"Oh my, why are the two young Masters crying?, a brave and strong boy do not cry over a simple argument. " Lady Clementine leaned closer to wipe the two Young Masters tears. 


"Young Master Nicholas, if you don't want a help then refuse kindly while you Young Master Stephen, if your brother don't need help then don't force him. Now are the problems solve?." Lady Clementine talks in a soft gentle tone as she wipes the Young Masters tears.
