The Duke's wife.

Do you like my face , wife .

The food in my throat choked me .

Cough cough .

Are you okay , Selene.

Have some water.

I gulped the water to ease the tension in my throat. His question caught me off guard .

Damon had handsome face that l would pay to watch everyday.

Wife , eat more . You need to add more meat to your bones .

Oh my ... I never cared about how l looked at home but now hearing a personal comment from my husband just made me self conscious.

Am l really that thin. Oh my God .

I should really eat.

Yes , l replied to Damon.

I could not meet his eyes. I knew many women loved to take care of there bodies but l couldn't.

My step mother sometimes gave me little or no food if l ever made a mistake.

And since my father was never at home , she had the privilege of torturing me.

But since I'm married, I will have to gain some weight.

Anyways, how was your first night here . Damon asked .

It was good . I said .

Hmmmm. I will show you around after the meal.

Okay .

The meal went on in silence but l noticed my husband's gaze on me.

I don't know why he is looking at me like that but l couldn't get the courage to look up and meet his gaze..

....

Damon showed me around the estate. It was mucg bigger compared to the Davids estate . He showed me the guest wing, the servants wing and the training ground.

The soldiers were training among themselves , clashing of swords could be heard in the background .

Good morning duke duchess.

The men greeted us as we walked by.

You have many men under you. I voiced out trying to great a lively environment as we walked.

Hmmm. Indeed some of them are from the war tone areas who had no homes and families after the war. So I thought of giving them shelter as they train in my knighthood.

That's a noble Deed. I can't believe the rumours about him are lies , he is kind and considerate. I feel guilty for judging him .

Damon Damon . Where are you . A female voice echoed in the training grounds .

I saw a beautiful woman with her black hair tied in a ponytail matching towards us.

She had a good figure with curves and her chest was of good size . Any man would fall for such a woman and by the way she was dressed I could tell she was a knight. Most women in the knighthood wore pants so this beautiful lady was no less .

But why was she calling Damon with his first name . Were they close .

You liar . She slappped his chest immediately she reached the spot we were standing.

You didn't tell me you were getting married Damon . I thought we were friends. The beautiful woman said pouting her lips .

Levina , the marriage was on short notice . You know how my brother can be. Damon said.

I just looked at the lady behaving childish in front of my husband.

Selene this is Levina , my childhood friend .

Levina , Selene my wife .

Hlo , l extended my hands towards Levina but she just looked at me like a stranger.

I don't shake hands . Levina rudely said .

I withdrew my hands with a lot of shame , all the knights where now looking at us .

I could tell she does not like me but l had been through worst.

Selene don't mind , Levina is like that. She will come around .

It's fine l replied flatly.

She is upset that l didn't invite her to my wedding. She will stay with us for a couple of days before heading to the capital to her family .

I could tell me and Levina would never be friends.
