Chapter 225 - Cold Season

Victoria wiped her nose as she sneezed again. Here comes the cold season. It's not that cold yet but it's getting cold. The humidity also changes as she smells different things, like the dust, dry air, or maybe cold things. She looked at her husband who was laughing at her. She frowned and took the cushion as she threw it at him. 

"Sorry," he grumbled. "You just looked adorable when you sneeze like that." He laughed. 

She reached the tissue as she lifted and moved her head up. Her nose started getting ticklish and there, she sneezed again. 

"Is it sinusitis?" He asked. "I will call the doctor to check your allergies." 

She sniffled and wiped her nose. 

"We can't kiss or cuddle." She said as she put her mask on. 

"Are you always like this as the seasons change?" 

"Yeah," She said and then the maid came with her ginger tea. She thanked her. 

Kenzo checked the doctor who quickly responded that he will come as soon as possible. 

"Did I already tell you that we can't kiss or cuddle?" She asked him. 

"Yes," He gazed at her. "You have a foggy head, huh?"

"Sorry, it's probably because my head feels a little heavy." She grumbled and sipped on her tea after removing the silver spoon. "Don't tell mom or grandma. I am sure that they will get worried. I also don't want them to come here and get caught with my illness." She grumbled. 

"My poor baby." He pouted at her. He indeed felt so worried. 

"Love, a few meters away." She said and the ventilator in her sunroom was also running. 

"Do you hate me that much?" He asked out. 

"No. You will get this one." 

"It's not viral or something. It's just your immunity. It will disappear soon." 

She sipped on her tea again and sighed. 

"This is something." She grumbled. "You should sleep in your room." 

"No way." He crossed his arms. "I will dream about that Caviar man again. Damn it!" 

She giggled and shook her head. 

"Why are you so jealous over that man? I don't even like him." 

"You don't understand at all." He scoffed. He turned on the social media and frowned after seeing Katarina showing up in a few dresses that her man sent. There's also a ring on her hand. She's engaged too fast. "Do you know who your sister was seeing?" He asked. 

"Uh, no idea. But grandma mentioned that it's a Count that proposed to her." 

"Count?" He nodded his head. "She's engaged too fast after the issue about Jason." 

"I know, right?" She sneezed again after covering her mouth and nose. 

"Wow, adorable." Kenzo laughed as she frowned at him. She's tired of sneezing. "Love, you should finish your tea so we can head back to your room." 

"I told you. You have to sleep," She sneezed again and leaned on her seat, her energy having been sucked up by the sneeze. 

He approached her and scooped her. She quickly put her face mask on and he took her upstairs to her room quickly. He tucked her in and gave her a tissue and a clean waste bin. She sighed and pouted at him. 

"My poor baby." 

"By the way, call my assistant and tell her to check the tailored clothes." 

"I already take care of it. It has been distributed to everyone." 

"Okay." She nodded. 

"The doctor is here, sir." The Butler said. He waved to him and the doctor came. 

"Your grace," he bowed and then quickly sanitized his hand, put his gloves on and mask. He then checked the Duchess's nose and mouth. Then, he asked if she had this every season and she answered. 

"This is an allergy." He said. "It's the humidity. Mostly, you'll get it worse in spring and autumn." 

"Yes." She nodded. 

"I bought the medicine for colds and tea is perfect for it. Here's for your allergy." The doctor took out the medicines that had names on them. "This will make you sleepy." He told her. 

"Okay," She nodded. "But it'll make me breathe well?" 

"For that," he also prepared a nebulizer for her and the medicine for it. "Water is okay. And she should bathe in warm water." 

"Got it." Kenzo nodded his head. 

She quickly reached her tissue and covered her mouth and nose as she sneezed. 

"It's probably because of the weather but it will come off soon. Just call me if there are other symptoms." He told Kenzo. 

"Thank you, Doc." 

<><><><> 

Katarina's eyes widened at the beautiful mansion that her fiance Count Tristan Gordon bought for her. 

"This is beautiful." She giggled and smiled at everything. 

"We only have a cook, three maids, one handmaiden, and five butlers." He told her. "It's enough to clean the house and cook for you and help you." 

"Thank you, darling." 

"Sure, anything for you." Tristan smiled at him. He tried to imagine that it was Victoria smiling at him but somehow, it's not that good. 

He toured her around and she smiled and some rooms are meant for her. But there's a room that was locked that she can't enter. It's his collection and her mother said that she needs to respect men's space to make him fall for her hard. The couple then reached her bedroom and they started screwing up. He liked it when her face was down the pillow while he had her from behind. It was pleasurable for Katarina but for Tristan, he only imagined someone's face rather than his fiancee's face. 

Then, he introduced her to the maids who didn't smile. But she thought of lecturing them after she got married to Tristan. Their wedding was simple and she didn't want to invite anyone. But she wouldn't want any dress that isn't grand so she ordered a gown that cost millions with real diamonds around it. He didn't mind at all since it's just a gown. 

They have their meal in the dining room since it's currently raining outside. 

"By the way, my dear. How's your trip to Spania?" 

"Hmm, it's rather thrilling." He said. "The Duchess is your sister, correct?" 

"Yes." She felt uncomfortable about that. "So, how did she do?" 

"She's perfect." He said without thinking about what Katarina would feel. "She served the Duke well and the guests. Although the Duke treasured her so much, she insisted on preparing meals for the Duke and everyone." 

"I can do that too." She told him. She only has little knowledge about cooking. But then, she would practice for him. 

"I would love to taste your cooking too, my love," Tristan said as he reached her hand. 

"Sure, I will practice for you." Katarina smiled. "But you know that I am better in bed than cooking," She rubbed the spot between his thighs with her barefoot. He groaned and reached her foot under the table and rubbed it to his crotch. 

For Tristan, she's just a whore for him. 

"I don't think that my sister could please her husband more than I could." She whispered. But Tristan knew well that she was wrong. The Duke was always horny around the Duchess which means that both of them are compatible with each other. She teased him in an innocent way that men would love. Nowadays, men want innocent but lionesses in bed. 

"I will have you later before I leave for the meeting." 

She pouted at him. 

"Meeting again?" 

"Darling, meetings are important." He told her. 

"Got it." 

"You got everything you need, right?" He asked her. 

"Yes," She smiled at him. "But you will be here at night?" 

"Yes, I will try." 

He rubbed her foot. 

"Let's make love before I go." 

She fell asleep after making love. Then he took a long bath, put a tuxedo on, and went downstairs to the guest area. A woman smiled up at him. 

"Are you ready?" She asked. 

"Yes," 

He approached her and reached her hand as he kissed it. They use a limousine, leaving the mansion. He then glanced at the man who was busy on his tablet. 

"Mr. Parson, we are going to a party, are you aware of that?" 

"I think you should mind your own business, Gordon." He grumbled. "I am against you playing on my cousin." 

"But is she even your real cousin?" he grinned. "Look at her and Victoria. They don't look so much alike." 

"That's because they have a different mother." Renzel didn't want to tell it to anyone but it was indeed a scandal. Bigger than Victoria becoming an illegitimate. 

"If you say so." Tristan shrugged. "By the way, how's the business going?" He asked. 

"It's doing great." Renzel looked at Mila who shrugged. 

"It's doing great as always. By the way, the production on scamming Jason Welch is ongoing. I think he can't handle someone who looked like your cousin, Victoria." 

"How did you find someone like that?" Renzel frowned. 

"A little fixed on the nose and eyes are enough." She shrugged. "It cost a million just for that. Her body and figure were easy to make it look like Victoria's." 

"I hate it when you speak to the Duchess like that. Copying her just to scam a man?" 

"I think that she would be delighted since that man was once a scam to her." 

Renzel only sighed and shook his head. His phone started ringing and he told them to keep quiet as he answered. 

"Yes, Duke Kenzo?" 

"Victoria is sick. Because of the changing of the season. She doesn't want to tell your grandmother." 

"I see.." Renzel doesn't have an idea about Victoria being sick every time the season changes.
