Chapter 130: Cooking For You!

"Where is she going?" Damon watched from the window as Olivia took the carriage and left the manor. Since she was not the direct family of the duke, she was wearing a midnight blue new gown leaving the black dress behind.

Theo followed his gaze and found Olivia too with a slight frown. He did not understand his master’s fascination with the girl.

"She is invited by the second prince. I heard she is going to Seren street. They will get married.." Theo paused when Damon turned to look at him with eyes full of warning.

"Have we received confirmation from the second prince? If not, contact the first prince and we will continue with him!" Theo gulped the fear down his throat and nodded.

When he left, Damon watched the leaving carriage with dark eyes. A sinister smile dancing on his lips. Leisurely, he left his father’s study that belonged to him now and went downstairs. He found the kids in the library with their governess, Lady Maybelline.

"How many times have I taught you already? If not for your aunt, I would have already taught you a lesson. Abigail, you are a useless girl who could not learn anything. The duchy is wasting its resources in training someone like you. You are..." the woman paused when she heard footsteps. Did Olivia not leave for the market? She had only behaved boldly because she knew there was no one to monitor her.

Maybelline stood up from her seat while her mind raced to make a perfect excuse. But she was surprised to see that it was not Olivia but Lord Damon. The man must have hated his step sister too. The thought relieved her and a fawning smile appeared on her lips.

"My lord!" she drawled. "If i may help you." her eyes blinked flirtatiously as she watched the man coming closer.

He only passed her a look before looking at Abigail. The girl did not have any physical beating.

"I need to speak with them. You can leave." Maybelline frowned. Should she leave the kids with him? What if he kills one of them? She eyes Abi and Leo with a conflicted expression.

The duke paid very well. If there will not be kids, she would lose a good source of earning. But... she would also get rid of Olivia’s bantering. And it was not like she could stop the lord from killing the kids. Making up her mind, she bowed her head and left the room, giving one last pathetic look to Abi.

Abi bit her lips. She tried her best to hide her tears and glared at Damon instead.

"Why are you here, your grace?" Leo stood up and pulled Abi behind him. He glared at Damon with narrowed eyes. Damon was not his step brother anymore but the duke of this land!

Damon smiled, he leisurely walked toward them and sat on the chair where Maybeline was sitting.

"I have not been announced as duke yet. We need the royal stamp on the application first." Leo watched Damon intently. There was no way Damon had come here to explain this. What did this man want? But it was better to play safe till then.

Leo nodded with a grim face and pulled Abi closer.

"I hope you will get it soon, my lord." a strange silence felt. Abi stared at Damon with her big doe eyes. She still remembered how they had spent time together.

Olivia had taken them on the picnic with this man and he was not that cold at that time. He did not want to hurt them. Abi knew the look when others had approached them with ill intents.

She tried to push Leo but he did not budge. So she stood on the tip of her toes so that she could have a good look at Damon.

"Brother, are you here to share grief?" she asked in an innocent voice. "It is a big loss that my father left us. But.. truth to be told, we do not feel much pain. It is just emptiness and strange gloominess that has covered the palace. But you should not be sad, that man never loved you. It is good that he left, you can be stronger now. You can be free." her voice was still innocent and childish.

Damon, who was there to take the kids with him so that Olivia came running to him when she returned, felt strange when he heard Abi. Free!? Very few knew the duke was hurting him.

Even many staff did not believe that he was prisoned here! For them, he was a war hero. A man holding a lot of powers. This girl.. How could she know?

"Abi!" Leo sensed the gloominess of Damon. How the air thickened around him. He glared at his sister for not keeping her mouth shut.

Their mother had left the manor three days ago and did not return. And today, their aunt had left too. She had warned them so many times to not go near Damon. But who would have thought that the demon came looking for them. How he could hide Abi somewhere. He felt helpless.

Damon watched as Leo tried to protect his sister despite being young himself. How old was he? seven?

"I am here to invite you for lunch. I heard that you are skipping meals." Damon asked in a nonchalant voice. As if the gloominess was just a delusion, his face did not have any emotions as he looked at them again.

Yet his invitation felt nothing less than a death sentence. What if he mixed poison in their meal too? That was the only reason, Olivia was personally cooking meals for them and they were eating in their room.

"We.. We have already eaten my lord. Aunt had given us lunch before she left." Leo changed his greeting but he was still too respectful as if they were strangers. Abi nodded too and pointed at the dishes near the table. There was still some food left there.

"She is cooking for you personally?"
