Chapter 380: She was about to deny

Marianne pov

I did not want to go and look for Killian, as he would think that I did not trust him, but my heart was feeling uneasy! I did not know when I turned into a worried person. But my mind was really not able to concentrate. So when Caleb went to take a bath, I held Shui's hand and took her towards the stable with the excuse of showing her horses.

But when I reached there, I was startled to see Isabella on the floor. She was looking like a crying mess. And Killian was standing there panicking. 

My eyes narrowed as I realised what she was trying to do. 

'Ha! Did she think she could bully him just because he is young! Did she not know that he had a strong mother backing him up always!'

"Is that so? Why don't we call Cassius and ask him what he had said to you?" I asked as  I moved towards her.

She stood up and turned as she heard my voice.

"Marianne" she said through gritted teeth.

I just raised a brow with a smirk as I continued to walk towards them and they stood in front of her.

"So, would you please repeat what Cassius had said to you, so that I can confirm it." Then I turned to look at the nearby maids who were shivering with fear now.

"Go and deliver a message in the archduke's palace that there is an emergency in the Essendson's palace and his presence is required" but the girl still did not move as she continued to look at me with a shocked and pale face.

'What! Were they thinking that I would let the matter go!'

"Now.,`` I shouted and she shivered again and then nodded and ran as if ghosts started chasing her.

"Are you serious? You are going to ask him to travel for hours by leaving all his tasks just for this silly reason?! Be reasonable Marianne. This was not expected from you!" she commented, shaking her head, as if she was very disappointed, "even if you are not archduchess anymore. You were at that post a few days ago. Should you not understand the pressure that an archduke faces daily?" she tried to show me down too, the way she was chiding it felt like she was the one who was doing all the work of my and Cassius.

"Do you think respect for his son is a silly reason? Or do you think that what his future wife is saying in public is a silly reason. Or the tears you are shedding are silly. I just care so much about you that I could not let the matter go, F.U.T.U.R.E archduchess." my voice was so sweet and caring as if i would cry for her anytime. But she knew the mockery behind it.

She could feel it in my eyes and the way I pressurised the word future.

"Anyways since Cassius would take some time to come. Shall we discuss your apology till then? Why were  you apologising to Killian just a while ago?" I asked again as I pointed at the seats and then looked at Killian who nodded.

He moved towards Shui and they both sat on the chairs at the side. 

'Now it was time for show'

"That was because Cassius asked me to apologize to Killian so that the relationship did not strain further." she said after a small pause.

"Oh! You mean Cassius and Killian's relationship is strained?" I asked, tilting my head.

She wanted to nod, but then she stopped. She knew it could be further insulting for her if Cassius came and heard that! He would not spare her at all.

"I mean, I spoke harshly last time. So, his highness advised me to come and apologize to Killian. I was trying to apologise when he said that he would never accept me as his mother.

It broke my heart. Cass.. your highness is expecting us to marry soon. I did not want to create a rift between father and son." 

"Then go and apologise properly. There is no need to cry and collect the crowd. Tell him that you made a mistake and you are sorry for it. And if it's about calling you mother. You need to earn that. You can't just force a kid to call you mother by crying. It is like give me yours everything or I will cry. And since I am the one crying, you're the one who is bad! Is it even making any sense? You are an adult, so behave like one ``I remarked as I pointed towards Killian from my chin.

She gritted her teeth but nodded again. As she walked towards Killian.

"Killian, I apologise for my rash behavior and speaking without thinking, my son." she said as she stood in front of him while he was sitting leisurely.

He turned to stand but I shook my head. So he sat there again.

"It is.." I shook my head again when he was about to accept her apology.

"It is not that simple, lady Isabella. You insulted my blood and my father too. I can not forgive you. I will tell father about it, and let him decide." he said strictly this time. Her hands clenched.

"Then I will apologize to him too. It was really a mistake Killian. Be kind and let's not drag the matter further." she added, trying to be pitiful again.

"You can not pressurize someone to forgive you, lady Isabella. The kid just wants to talk to his father. Why not just wait for Cassius to arrive?" I asked and she turned to look at me.

"I do not think that I have any problem with that. Of course, let us wait for him to arrive. If you do not mind, I need to go to the powder room for a while." with that she walked past me towards the inner palace. I was sure she was about to deny it but then what changed her decision suddenly!?
