"My apologies again for not informing you about this matter Lady Clementine, the Duke was in the capital for the assembly meeting of the empire." Baron Elesten replied in a mysterious way.
"Is that so, I am planning to have a meeting with Duke Fenwood but I guess he's busy. Thank you for today Baron Elesten." Lady Clementine in a soft expression as they part ways with Baron Elesten.
Lady Clementine went to her chambers to take her slumber after they part ways. The next morning, an unexpected guest arrived from the House of Kreuzer. Lady Arabella Edyth Kreuzer arrived without informing Baron Elesten and Duke Fenwood so the Manor was unprepared.
"Stephen are you still asleep?, my cute brother is still asleep." Nicholas turns and faced Young Master Stephen in the bed.
"Where am I?, why am I sleeping in your bed and why did I act childish yesterday?, is this some kinds of side effects?." Young Master Stephen talks while wearing a puzzled look upon figuring out what happened to him yesterday.
"It seems like my twin brother Stephen likes to be a child like me." Young Master Nicholas teases Young Master Stephen.
"Why am I still in my child form?, at this time, I should be back at my normal body? forget it. Let's go outside Nicholas, we need to talk to Baron." Young Master Stephen gets out in the bed and Young Master Nicholas get follow Young Master Stephen.
Upon opening the door, they saw the fearsome lady from the Kreuzer Marquisate, Lady Arabella. They froze out in the door because of how intimidating Lady Arabella is.
"Stephen, you know I will forever love you even though you're the Duke or the Stephen my twin brother." Young Master Nicholas talks softly as they walk out in their chamber.
"Don't mention the duke or they will discover the curse, Nicholas..." Young Master Stephen's words was stopped upon seeing the intimidating Lady Arabella.
"Who is this Children?" Lady Arabella ask the maids while staring intensely to the Young Masters.
"My lady, it's the Young Masters of the Dukedom, the twins of the former Duke. Introduce yourself Young Masters." A maid behind Lady Arabella talks.
"A pleasant day to you my lady, I am Stephen Carlisle Orlo Fenwood and this is Nicholas Richard Orlo Fenwood. We are the twins of the former Duke." Young Master Stephen introduce his self and Nicholas to Lady Arabella in a nonchalant tone.
"So this is the precious child the Duke was protecting, I thought it's only one child. I am Lady Arabella Edyth Kreuzer of the Kreuzer Marquisate Young Masters. I hope we can get along well. Lady Arabella gazes at the Young Masters menacingly as if she's planning something.
"Young Masters are you okay? Lady Arabella, I don't think you have the rights to scare the children like that." Lady Clementine ran as she saw Lady Arabella talking to the Young Masters. She knew how evil the Kreuzer Marquisate was Asher family witness it's pure evilness when she's still a child.
"Clementine, I did not expect that you are the Lady visiting the Fenwood Dukedom by an imperial decree. A lowly creature like you must suck the emperor to get in his good side." Lady Arabella with a furrowed brows as she talks to Lady Clementine.
"Lady Arabella, mind your words, the children is listening. Me too did not expect that even from a distant land you will spread your evilness. Let's go Young Masters." Lady Clementine walks the Young Masters out of Lady Arabella's sight after she talks.
"Lady Clementine, the lady is scary. She said she wants to be friends with me but her smile was scary." Young Master Stephen talks to Lady Clementine while holding Lady Clementine's hands upon walking.
"Don't go near Lady Arabella Young Masters, she is a woman with different purpose, I should call Vivianne to bath you two." Lady Clementine talks while walking with the Young Masters.
Head maid Vivianne takes the Young Masters to bath them. Lady Clementine went out to Lady Arabella to talk about the Young Masters. In the chamber, Young Master Stephen turns back into Duke Heinrey Fenwood, his body turns into child to adult, the blue smoke and magic circle appeared again. Thankfully, Young Master Nicholas was dressing in the other room so he didn't witness an adult thing. Head maid Vivianne gives Duke Fenwood his adult clothes.
"Why would I not turn to my regular body?, I thought the curse only takes effects for a day or weeks so this should be gone now."
"What is happening? at last, the effect of the curse is now done, I can go back to my normal body." Young Master Stephen mumbles in the dressing room while waiting for the blue smoke magic circle to appear.
Meanwhile at Lain Garden, Lady Clementine had a heated conversation involving the Young Masters.
"Arabella, I implore you, do not involve the Young Masters in our quarrel, for they are but innocent children and ought not be embroiled in our adult strife."Lady Clementine talks while sitting Infront of Lady Arabella.
"Good heavens, Clementine, why would you suppose I would stoop to such a base tactic as to involve those tender youths in our dispute? I assure you, I am a lady of refinement and breeding, and such concerns are beneath me."Lady Arabella sips her tea and gazes at Lady Clementine menacingly.
"Should I discover that you have perpetrated any harm or indignity towards the Young Masters, I shall exert every fibre of my being to bring ruin upon the entire Kreuzer Marquisate." Lady Clementine talks with a nonchalant tone upon holding a tea in her hands.
"I daresay, Lady Clementine, it is you who seeks to exploit the innocence of those children for your own purposes, endeavouring to enthrall the duke through their agency." Lady Arabella glares at Lady Clementine intensely as she accused her.
"Forgive me Ladies, but who is trying to seduce me?." Duke Fenwood arrive at Lain Garden where the two ladies are talking.
