---- Not to mention, even though I wasnt nobility myself, I knew the basics of etiquette: the higher the floor in a mansion, the more distinguished the guests.
Me, on the second floor, with the nobodies.
And the Duke of Everhart? Likely on the same level as Zafiro.
Well, you assumed very wrong! Elliot snapped, his fury barely contained.
Its best to follow the hosts arrangements, dont get upset, Duke.
I ll see you in the morning, rest well, I said, grabbing the doorknob and closing the door in his stunned face.
Wait, Duchess! BAM.
Islammed the door shut on his incredulous, pissed-off expression.
Then, when he tried to open it, I locked it for good measure.
That was for being an idiotparading around as a cheating bastard and not even bothering to hide his mistress properly.
Now, everyone saw me as a joke.
How dare they separate us into different rooms?! This is an insult to both me and my wife! I heard his furious roar from the hallway.
Ipressed my ear against the wooden door to eavesdrop.
J...
[didnt know, I thought you...
you know, wanted to be on the same floor as...
well, as...
As who?! You have no right to assume what I do or do not want! If Ihad wanted something, I would have informed the staff myself! ---- Whats going on? Duke, please, calm down, a mans voice cut init was the host.
Bertha, apologize to His Excellency for whatever idiocy youve done.

And needless to say, we will not be attending any more of your gatherings in the future.
Wait, Your Excellency, please...! But despite the desperate apologies, Elliots boots stormed down the hallway.
Do you see what youve done, you idiot?! came a furious whisper nearby.
Duke Thesio left abruptly, and now youve angered Duke Elliot.
Im going to skin you alive for this! II thought he wanted to be with his mistress! I only did it to keep him away from that clingy wife of his...
Shut up! The sharp sound ofa slap echoed, followed by the noblewomans muffled sobs.
Tts obvious things have changed between the Dukes! Did you not see how they disappeared together, or the state they returned in?! The couple is reconciling, and you pull this stunt.
Come! No, no, Ill apologize to the Duchess tomorrowtonight if you want Youre coming to our chamber NOW.
Dont make your night any ---- worse! Their dragging footsteps faded down the hallway.
I stepped away from the door.
I felt bad for her, but honestly? It was about time people respected me and stopped treating me like the abandoned wife.
Where had Elliot gone? Would he come back? I didnt know, but I turned and entered the simple bedroom.
It hada small tea reception areajust two sofas and a low table.
Past an archway was the sleeping quarters, where a large canopy bed awaited me.
The closet was modest, the dresser empty.
My belongings sat untouched at the side, still packed.
I sighed, thinking about those pampered duchesses who had servants wiping their asses for them, while I couldnt even get someone to unpack my damn trunk.
I knelt in front of the chest, opening it to grab something comfortable to sleep in.
Then, a thought crossed my mindmaybe something sexy? I didnt know, but maybe someone would be visiting me tonight.
A sudden knock at the door made me jump.
I walked over, heart pounding, hoping I wouldnt be in for another unpleasant surprise.
