Chapter 313 - The Destia Siblings (2) (2/2)

”I-I think it is the smell of the wine.” I made such an excuse. Actually, it was not the smell of the wine, but I want to put the blame on the one who was holding the wine.

”Take it away this instant!” Regaleon said loudly and pushed the glass of wine Deborah was holding, making the content pour out unto her dress and staining it in the process.

Deborah was shocked with the sudden incident and was lost for words.

”My wife is pregnant and sensitive to smells, so please be mindful of your actions.” Regaleon said with such cold tone.

”I-I…” Deborah was in the verge of tears.

”Please forgive my daughter for her sudden actions, your majesty. She did not present any ill will to her majesty.” Duke Destia said. ”Raphael, please help your sister out the dining hall to change.

”Yes father.” Raphael stood up and helped Deborah. ”Excuse us your majesties.” He bowed sincerely and led Deborah out of the dining hall.

I looked at Deborah's retreating back, feeling triumphant.

(Third Person POV)

Raphael and Deborah were walking in a hallway outside that was leading back to the estate. He was clearing pulling her hand gently. Deborah's face was full of bitterness and in the verge of tears.

”Let go of me!” Deborah yanked away from Raphael's hold and ran towards the garden.

”Deborah, wait.” Raphael also ran to catch his sister.

The two siblings were running in the garden paths until Deborah stopped at the fountain located at the center of the garden. She was panting hard from the running she just did. Raphael was quick to get a hold of her.

”Deborah, let go back to your room.” Raphael said in worry.

”Just leave me alone.” Deborah shouted in anger, tears started to flow form her eyes. ”I only want to serve his majesty. Why can't I do what I want to do? You also served that b*stard earlier.”

Raphael's face crumpled in anger. ”Mind your words, Deborah!” He scolded her in a high tone.

Deborah was shocked with her brother's scolding. ”Are you now scolding me because of that b*tch big brother? You have never even used such a tone on me before.” She said with bitterness.

Raphael sighed to calm down. ”I am sorry Deborah, it is just that Alicia is not the same as before. She is now his majesty's, King Regaleon's wife. She is now a queen. We are not children anymore.”

”You have always taken her side even then big brother. I know, you have feelings for her. But what happened to the feelings you have harbored?” Deborah said with anger. ”If not for our father, we would have debuted in high society a long time ago. We would have met partners that we choice for ourselves, you would have had a chance courting that Alicia if you attended her debutante ball.”

”Deborah, father made such decisions because of out mother.” Raphael explained in a comforting manner.

”He robbed us of our opportunity to be in society, big brother!” Deborah said in a high tone. ”Now you are engaged to a royal of the foreign country of Rabansi. Father is also trying to get an engagement for me to the crown prince of their country. He is just using us for his own benefits.”

”Do not think such things, Deborah. Father just wants what is best for us.” Raphael tried to reason.

”I would not want to be married to some foreigner with brown skin even if he is a crown prince.” Deborah said. ”I plan on choosing my own path. I choose to be one of King Regaleon's wives.”

”What are you planning to do?” Raphael was shocked.

”It is said that the king of Grandcrest can take many wives, his concubines. I choose to be married to such a handsome and powerful man rather than be married to an unknown foreigner.”

”Do not do this Deborah.” Raphael held his sister's shoulders with force.

”I have decided. You cannot stop me brother.” Deborah said showing firm resolve. ”If that Alicia was able to seduce the king, then I can do so as well.”

Deborah pushed Raphael away and ran towards the mansion. Raphael looked at his sister's back. He covered his face with his hands feeling defeated.

”Mother, what am I supposed to do?” Raphael asked desperately. ”Deborah is going astray.”
