Chapter 17 - A Duchess's duties

The Duke comes back soon, as promised. He's now dressed for the day, and he's also munching on something.

«I'll convince my Duchess to eat more, someday,» he says, noticing that I haven't had anything yet. Even my tea was sipped by someone else.

I follow him to his office, and I sit on one of the small couches next to the window. I fix the shawl on my shoulders, and I thank fate for the warm socks on my feet. This room is rather cold, as it hasn't been used for a while. I've come here a couple of times to select some books, but the fire has never been lit in the last week. Soon, autumn will start, and I can't imagine how awful it will be in these windy hallways.

«Has my Duchess already read all my books?»

«I only touched a couple,» I protest.

«Have you already read this one?» he asks, and he brings me a thick tome about the history of Ethiro.

«Not this particular one. I've learned the history of the whole continent, long ago, though.»
