The Duke’s Adopted Daughter - Chapter 32 Her First Public Appearance

When they arrived at the Kingdom of Dusk they were warmly welcomed by the officials even Prince Drake, himself personally welcomed them.

Duke Gerald smiled at the Prince and slightly bowed.

“Thank you Prince for gracing us your presence.”

“No, Duke Gerald we should be thanking you for coming here instead.”

His eyes darted towards his back where his family were standing.

“Let me introduce you to my family. This is my first wife Sophia and my first daughter Sylvy. This is my son to the second wife Kale and my second daughter Anishina. My second wife was not feeling well so she wasn’t able to come. You already met them when you last visited to our residence except for my daughter Sylvy.” Duke Gerald stated.

“And your adopted daughter if I’m not mistaken.” The Prince eye darted to the third carriage.

The Duke slightly cough and was about to make excuses when the door of the third carriage open and Louise immerse from it wearing her veil and only showing her blue eyes. Not only the Duke was startled but also the officials and his families. Even the Prince was slighly taken about but immediately regain his composure.

The girl slowly walked towards them and stop beside the Duke and slightly bowed to greet the Prince.

“Greetings my Prince. My name is Louise Von Royalle and currently the Duke’s Adopted daughter.”

Her melodious voice caught their attention. Though the girl was wearing a veil, based on her figure alone shows that she’s quite a beauty. The Prince was taken aback earlier because he already met this girl before back at Eslanwood City in the Green Kingdom. He too bowed his head and acknowledge her.

“It’s my pleasure to meet you my Lady.”

The Banquet started and there were a lot of visitors coming from the other kingdom. The Green kingdom royalty was also invited. Even some of the nobles including the Counts family. When the Duke’s family entered, Lady Isabella from the Count’s family ran towards them and greeted Anishina.

The Duke and his wife Sophia left them. Even Kale socialized with other noble man on the Banquet and left the group after asking permission from the Duke. Gerald was confident that Louise can handle any situation so she left Sylvy with her.

“Anishina, why don’t you introduce me to this lady here.” Isabella started while looking at Louise.

“Oh..my apologies, this is also my first time meeting her. Even at our residence only father can meet her.”

“Is that so?” Isabella tilted her head.” But she’s been with you residence for quite sometime. Isn’t it just right to introduce herself to your family since she’s adopted?”

When Sylvy heard this, she was quite sure that though Isabella’s tone was mild she was actually picking at Louise. She look at the girl whom she owe her life and waited for her to respond but she didn’t.

“My mom also visited her with good intention but father reprimanded her.”

“Oh” Isabella raised her brow and look at Louise with contempt.

Louise look at Sylvy and asked. “Did you hear someone’s talking?”

Sylvy was startled but she pursed her lips to hide her smile.

“No, I haven’t heard anyone.”

“Is that so? Must be my imagination then. Would you care to join me for a walk younger sister?”

Sylvy nodded and followed Louise. The two ladies was left furious when she ignored them.
