Chapter 243 - Beat The Pulp Out Of Him

"He should not be a noble or rich man but a lower level knight or a farmer who earns enough for the family but does not have more money to create rift and jealousy in the family.

He should on average look not too handsome to bring flies wherever he goes!

He should be kind and sweet towards everyone he met and bring warmth in my family and heart!

And he should be a simple minded person who could talk to me the whole night while looking at the stars even when we did not have big chandeliers at our home. We should share a simple dinner happily under the candle light!

"..." her words were no less than splashing cold water on his face who was sure that all the qualities would match him,

She did not want wealth, looks and nobility in her husband that he had but wanted to marry a commoner who was either a low level knight or a farmer. 

The image of laughing Martin and Reynold formed in front of his eyes that seemed to be mocking him.

And hadn't she said that he was an ice prince! And she wanted a warm man in her life. That was just an opposite portrait of the man he was!

Everyone knew he did not like to speak much.. Then talking all night on the terrace! She was really mocking him from her words!

He was glaring at her with such sharp eyes that he would beat her right there. 

But oblivious to the result of her actions, Evan who was still crying over her fate to eat so much, looked at the bottle and asked in a soft voice,

"Is it my turn to spin the bottle this time?" ELi who was having trouble in controlling her laughter just nodded her head while Eve was not even trying to hold it.

She was laughing like she had heard the biggest joke of her life. She could not believe that her brother had been rejected so badly! The man who had been demanded so by so many noble ladies was taken as trash by the girl he desired. 

Wait! Then why have they kissed each other. She noted the point to be asked next time either the bottle stopped in front of Leo or Evan!

She looked at Eve with a frown but then decided to ignore her, since she was afraid of what reply Eve would give since they both were brutal tonight.

Since Eli had already nodded, she held the bottle of the wine in her hands and then spun it with full force.

The bottle spun for a few minutes before it stopped in front of Eli,

What shall a mortal ask a god! She did not know what would offend them but at the same time she was curious about a lot of things related to her,

Eli swept her hair away from the side of her face and the muffling laugher were disappeared from her face, 

"Yes! What do you want to know?" she asked in a graceful voice that truly belonged to a queen.

"If you would have been granted a wish, then what do you want to do with your life?" 

"I want to be a good duchess till I am handling the post!" she replied in a charming voice as she picked up the glass of wine and took a sip in a graceful manner. But Evan shook her head in disappointment.

"That was not what I meant! I mean what do you want in your life?" asked Evan again to be more elaborate this time and Eli frowned.

She did not understand what was the difference between the two, yet she repeated the question again in her mind.

"Hmm, I want the family of Thawyne to be stronger and more prosperous and I want my family to be proud of me." this time she replied with more confidence as she looked at Evan but Evan only sighed in disappointment.

"Never mind! I think I am not able to explain myself." Eve who was laughing till now, turned stiff and even Leo turned to look at Even with a frown.

"What do you mean? Did I still answer wrongly?" asked Eli in a demanding voice. This was the first time when someone had called her wrong twice in a row.

"I apologise, but I wanted to know if you would not have been the duchess or Thaywne anymore. Even forget that you are a noble for a minute.

Just remember yourself as Elizabeth, as a simple girl, then what is it that you desire most in your life?" Evan spoke in a low and slow voice.

She wanted to give time to Eli so that she could understand that she was not talking about her name and position but about her!

For a second Eli was stunned when she heard the question. If she would not have been bound to the duty of the duchess and to the noble responsibilities then what would she want in her life?

Could there be anything she had desired for herself? From the time she had remembered, she was busy living the role of a perfect daughter of a noble.

But to do what she desired! Her eyes flickered but no matter how much she thought, she could not find a single goal that was only related to her, not to the family.

"It is fine. Take it as if I have not asked you anything!" Evan muttered in a low voice as she was about to spin the bottle again when her hand was held by Eli.

Evan raised her head and looked at the noble lady, afraid that she had touched a sore point of her life.

Thinking that she should apologize, she was about to open her mouth when the girl spoke first, 

"If the rules and boundation of being the daughter of the Thawyne family were taken away. 

I would like to go to the royal palace and slap the crown prince hard on his cheek so that he would remember all his lifetime a woman had beaten her!"
