Chapter 8 - The young Duke

Chapter 8 - The young Duke

Sep 07, 2025

"Do you want to come with me Young Masters?, I am going to the greenhouse and I heard there's a lot of sweets in the greenhouse." Lady Clementine talks while staring softly to the two boys.


"I want to come but don't let Nicholas come with you." Young Master Stephen talks with angry tone as he crossed his two hands.


"No I want to come too, you will not come with us Stephen" an angry reply from Young Master Nicholas.


"I thought we settle this already, twins don't fight over a simple thing so hug each other out and say sorry." Lady Clementine staring at the two Young Masters with a gentle expression.


"But, he's throne who started it..... I'm sorry Stephen."

"I just want to help you but....Nicholas I'm sorry." The Young Masters apologize to each other after they had an argument.


"Let's leave this book here and let's go to the green house." Lady Clementine stands up and walk towards the Young Masters.



Lady Clementine and the Young Masters went to the greenhouse together. Duke Fenwood was pretending to be a child Infront of Lady Clementine but in reality, he's having a lot of thoughts about Lady Clementine. The maids and servants working in the Manor saw Lady Clementine with the Young Masters walking together. Their hearts melt upon looking at the warm situation. 


"I must confess, I did not anticipate that Lady Clementine would pay us a visit in the library once again."


"Is she truly motivated by genuine sentiment, or ought we not ponder the matter further? It seems likely that her actions are influenced by the Emperor's wishes."


"For the present, let us observe Lady Clementine's behaviour with great attention, that we might discern her true intentions, unclouded by speculation or assumption." Young Master Stephen thoughts while walking with Lady Clementine in the hallway. 


"The greenhouse at Fenwood Manor is a true marvel, showcasing a vast array of blooms. Alas, it is a sorrowful state of affairs that the Dukedom's splendor has remained unknown to many. The manor's beauty is a treasure yet to be discovered by the world at large. It is a pity that such loveliness has been overlooked for so long." Lady Clementine talks while walking inside the Green House with the Young Masters.

"My lady, can we ask for your name?, we wanted to be friends with you." The young Masters pleaded Lady Clementine with their sparkly red puppy eyes. 


"Have I not introduce my self to these two adorable Young Masters, please forgive me. I am Lady Clementine Alice Wyrmsley from the Wyrmsley Countdom." Lady Clementine patted the head of the two young Masters as she introduce herself. 


"Lady Clementine do you know why red is the is the dominant color of the flowers inside the Green House?, I will tell you a story about it." Young Masters Nicholas talks while looking at a rose bush. 

"Our father said that red was the symbol of love, it's the symbol of his affection for us so that's why we planted lots of red flowers." Young Masters gently smile.


"Father was killed because of bad people Nicholas so don't trust other easily." Young Master Stephen talks upon looking at the rose bush.

Lady Clementine notice the gloomy atmosphere in the green house so she did something to break the gloomy atmosphere and turn it into a lively one. 


"It must have been hard growing up without your parents, if only I could do anything to ease that pain my Young Masters."


"Ohh, there's a table, who wants to eat with me?, there's a lot of sweets." Lady Clementine talks upon holding the Young Masters hands to go to the table.


"Now that we're settled down, who wants to eat an apple swan made by the most beautiful fairy." Lady Clementine trying to humor the Young Masters. 

"Me, I want to try it first, Lady Clementine, are you really a fairy?, does the Wyrmsley Countdom full of fairies?, can we go there?." Young Master Stephen eyes widened as he ask Lady Clementine with curiousity.


"We want to see fairies?, does the Wyrmsley Countdom also had dragons? how about a mage?," a curious eyes from Young Master Nicholas.


"Don't worry, young masters! You've asked a great many questions, and I shall answer each one carefully, so that you might learn all about the magical creatures of fairies and dragons. Let's begin, shall we?" Lady Clementine gazes at the two Young Masters while secretly adoring the adorable Young Masters.


Lady Clementine and the Young Masters spent half of the day talking about mythical creatures then they went to the Manor's Courtyard. The young Masters played in the courtyard while Lady Clementine is sitting in a chair beneath a tree. It's a great memory for the Young Masters and for Lady Clementine. For the first time, the Young Masters felt the presence of a motherly love from Lady Clementine while Lady Clementine was happy and sad at the same time. She was greatful that she can help the Young Masters in her three months stay in the Dukedom but she also pity the Young Masters for growing up without the affection of a parents. 



"They're asleep already, these adorable boys. They insisted in doing their assignments outside yet they became tired so easily and fall asleep." 

"Young Masters, oh dear they really are asleep, I guess I have to carry them to their chambers." Lady Clementine talks as she stands in the table where the Young Masters are studying.

"Ohh heavens, they're so heavy. I guess this is why they said if you want less misery then have a daughter." Lady Clementine gently chuckles after she carries the Young Masters in her hands. 


Lady Clementine carries the Young Masters back in their chambers. Upon walking in the hallway to the Young Masters Chambers, Baron Elesten and Lady Clementine bump into each other. Baron Elesten was so shocked to see the Duke or Young Master Stephen sleeping in Lady Clementine's hands. 


"What happened?, I never thought that they will open to you sooner Lady Clementine. Especially Stephen, he is kinda cold and reserve to everyone he doesn't know." Baron Elesten talking with a shaky tone as if he was going to be killed. 


"All you need is to give them the right care Baron Elesten, the Young Masters longs for a care that they didn't feel for a long time." Lady Clementine talks in a soft expression while looking at the Young Masters in her hands. 


"Let me carry Stephen Lady Clementine, it must be heavy. You ought to call a maid if this happen Lady Clementine. My apologies for this matter." Baron Elesten talks while walking in the hallway to the Young Masters Chambers.


"It's alright Baron Elesten besides I like hanging out with the Young Masters. This Child must be lonely living in the world without their parents." Lady Clementine talks with a sad expression.


"The Young Masters are indeed at a lonely place, if only I could bring back the time Lady Clementine." Baron Elesten stop at the Young Masters Chamber as he talks with Lady Clementine with Stephen in his hands sleeping. 


The guards opened the door of the chamber upon seeing the Baron and the Young Masters. Lady Clementine and Baron Elesten put the Young Masters to bed. 


"Young Master Nicholas, you should grab this big blanket and cover yourself so you'll not be cold. You too, my very adorable little Duke.. I mean Young Master Stephen. Sleep well Young Master." Baron Elesten put the Young Masters in the bed and pulled the blanket to cover the Young Masters so they'll not be cold when they sleep. 


"Father, don't leave us"

"Brother, don't leave me" the Young Masters murmurs in their sleep. 


"This is why, we don't accept any visitors Lady Clementine. If only those people did not kill the former Duke." Baron Elesten staring at the Young Masters with a sympathetic eyes.


"This boys will have a great life Baron Elesten, need not to worry. So they sleep in the same bed, so cute. Does the former Duke had black hair and red eyes?, the twins really are the same, from their red eyes to black hair." Lady Clementine ask Baron Elesten while standing in the side of Baron Elesten.


"Certainly Lady Clementine, the former Duke carries the distinct features of the Fenwood." Baron Elesten replied while sitting in the chair in the side of the bed where the Young Masters are sleeping. 

"Let's take our leave now Lady Clementine, Good night my Young Masters." Baron Elesten said while walking out the chamber. 


Lady Clementine and Baron Elesten left the Young Masters Chamber after putting the two boys to sleep. They walk in the same hallway since the way to Lady Clementine's chamber is in the same way as Baron Elesten. Lady Clementine ask a question to Baron Elesten.


"Why does the Duke didn't greet me Baron Elesten? nor did I see him today." Lady Clementine ask Baron Elesten with an innocent face while trying to figure out where is the Duke.
