The Devil Guardian 4

"Yer Grace, this is for you." Said the young boy from the stable

"Who was it from?" The duke asked the boy

"Oii not sure Yer Grace, it was a small boy. but it was too dark. Oii cant see." Said the boy "He said is urgent Yer grace."

"Very well, thank you." The duke answered.

He looked at the envelop and saw the seal of the family of Von Voltaire. Von Voltaire a well honored Austrian family. he heard of them the last time he visited his grandmother in Austria. He wonder what do they want from him.

"What is the matter my friend?" Asked George

"Mrs Von Voltaire has sent me a letter." He said "and it is urgent"

"Von Voltaire?" He was surprise

"I am afraid, Yes." He answered and read the letter and he face changed. he did not say a word to George but kept the letter into his pocket and walked into the ballroom.

_______________________

"Oh my, I cant wait to ride with his grace." Brigitta said to the maid while she was changing into her smart riding suit.

"I am sure his grace is very excited as well." Said the maid

"I hope so." She said with a smile

She walked into the stable and saw the duke was talking to the young boy who works in the stable.

"Good morning." She said shyly

"Morning Brigitta. You are punctual today." The duke teased

"I am always your grace." She said and blushed as if she remembered something "except for sometimes."

"Well well." The duke laughed. "I heard you are planing to ride Thunder the other day."

"Thunder?"

"The best horse in this stable"

"Oh yes." She said with her sparkling eyes and she suddenly remember she needs the devil's permission "May i?"

"I am not sure how good is your riding skill, but i suppose it should be fine since thunder is in a good mood today." He replied while patting the horse

"Thank you." She answered

"Since you have chosen my best horse, i shall go for my favorite horse then."

"Isn't thunder is your favorite since it's the best horse?" She asked

"Surprisingly, no." He answered and climbed up to a beautiful black stallion "My favorite is Dragonfly."

They went for a walk in the square. thunder was a white female horse. it was wild but it not difficult to control. according to the duke it was much more difficult to control when it mood was bad. However dragonfly is always calm and soft. sometimes it might be a little playful. she can see why is dragonfly the duke's favorite.

After riding the duke invited her for breakfast at one of the cafe in the city. This was her first time having breakfast in such a beautiful cafe. The pastries were great. she cant explained how much she enjoyed.

"Brigitta, do you have any relative that is still alive?" He asked "Forgive me but.."

"Is fine your grace. Yes, i suppose my relatives in Austria is still.. alive." She cant find a better word to describe either

"Are they the Von Voltaire?" He asked

"Yes your grace."

"Last night your aunt send me an urgent letter. they demand you to stay with them." He said and looked deep into Brigitta's eyes "What do you think?"

"Oh no your grace. please i promise i will get married as soon as possible. I dont want to go back to Vienna, to the Von Voltaire mansion"

"Is fine Brigitta, you can stay with me as long as you want. I am your guardian after all, there is nothing much they can do about. You dont need to rush your self to get married."

"Thank you your grace." She said quietly

"May i ask why are you so afraid of going back to the Von Voltaire?"

"Please dont ask me your grace. Before your lawyer claimed me back to your castle after my father passed away. I was looked after by them and it was a disaster."

"Yet, you ran away from me"

"Someone told me, you forgotten about me." She said softly "I thought if i don't run away i shall turned in to a old unwanted granny in the castle."

"I am sorry Brigitta." He said

___________________________________

"Good day your grace" Said Mr Rubin "Mrs Von Voltaire is here. she is waiting for you in your study."

"What is she doing here?" He asked

"She demanded to see you right after you went riding with Ms Brigitta"

"Do not tell Brigitta about this. I will talk to her later."

"Very well, your grace"

He walked into his study and saw a well dressed middle aged women was waiting for him

"May i help you Mrs Von Voltaire?" He asked

"Did you or did you not receive my letter your grace." She asked sharply with German accent

"I did and i have talked to Brigitta." He said "She doesnt want to return to Vienna."

"She is just a child, what do she know about? After all, We are her family." She said "And you are just a stranger."

"I am her guardian Mrs Von Voltaire I dont mean to be rude but i am legally own Brigitta" He added "if you want me to put it in this way."

"her grandmother is asking for her granddaughter and you must have know how old is my mother." She lied

"From what i heard, her grandmother has passed away." He actually attended the ceremony.

"You..."

"Now, may you excuse me. I have lots of work to do." He said "Mr Rubin please prepared a carriage for Mrs Von Voltaire." He said and opened the door of his studies

Why are they demanding for Brigitta? Is it about the money or something else? Why is Brigitta running away from them? arent they her family? Why would she rather stay with him, a stranger. He asked himself. and Brigitta walked in.

"They came to claimed me." She asked "Didn't they? I saw my aunt just now"

"in a matter of fact, they did." He said and look at Brigitta

"I shall return to Vienna." She said "I don't want to cause you any trouble your grace. You have been very nice to me. and i am grateful." She rose from the chair she stood "I will leave tomorrow morning."

"Brigitta, sit." He ordered "i need to know what is happening"

"No you wouldn't want to." She said and ran up to her room.

_______________________________

She locked herself for hours.

"Brigitta, please unlock this damned door and let me in." Said the duke

There was no answer. he suddenly remember how good was her escaping skill. He kicked off the door and noticed she was gone.

"Oh, Brigitta" He sat on her bed and whispered and laughed dryly.

How idiotic was he not noticing she might run away again. He shall leave all his work behind and leave for Vienna tomorrow morning. how is he suppose to have a good night sleep when he doesn't even know is she safe.

"Your Grace?" Asked the maid that used to serve Brigitta

"She is gone." he said

"What?"

"Yes, she is gone and i shall find her tomorrow." He said and "Or perhaps i should go now." He rose and walked out the room

"Mr Rubin i am going to Vienna now. immediately." He said while walking down the stairs

"Very well, your grace." He said "Do you need me to go along?"

"No, i can go on my own." He said "I might be there for one or two weeks"

oh Brigitta when are you going to stop escaping from me? he asked himself.

_______________________________________

She has been here for a week. She know that the duke wouldn't bother to look for her. However, she can't explain how much does she miss him. He was one of the most dashing man she has ever meet. His smile and captivating dark eyes.

"brigitta, you are well aware that tomorrow is the ball for Maria's 16 birthday." She said "I expect the dress should be done by tomorrow."

"But aunt, i dont even know how to sew."

"Figure it out by your self." She said and walked out the tiny little dirty bedroom

She was back here and her aunt planned to married her to a half died old man. She thought it would be fine since he is dying so soon. she didnt care much except for praying the duke will be happy and hope that he will believe in love again.

She has a hobby. she used to draw out every dresses she hopes to own. she used to design tons of dress after look at the dress in the magazines while she was in the duke place. Since he is so rich, she is able to own almost every dress she drew. the other day she was drawing and her cousin Maria saw it. She demanded for the dress and the tailors in Vienna cant make it on time because it requires lot of time to put on the little details. Then her aunt ordered her to make it.

She was so worried. she cant even sew. what is she suppose to do? she cant be sitting down crying. she should start working. "Oh papa, i know you heard me, please help me" She pray in her heart.

It has been mid night. she still can sew a nice based for the dress. she didn't know what to do. she sat on the floor and her tears eventually rolled out. She heard someone knocked her window and she ignore it she thought it will be some wild animals and again she heard it. she open her curtain and she saw a familiar face. it was the duke!

She quickly open the window "What are you doing here your grace?"

he did not speak but hugged her tightly "How could you run away from me again? How dare you?"

"I didn't want to trouble you.." She said quietly

"It took me a week to figure out where is the Von Voltaire mansion." He whispered "Why is it so secretive my dear?"

"I cant tell you now. I am in an emergency." She said and stared at the drawing she did and the horrible dress based

"What is this?" he took the white based and look at it.

"Oh no please don't laugh. it suppose to be the based of this dress" She showed him her drawing

"And you drew this?" he asked and thought how talented was her

"Yes."

"Well, well." He said "Lets escape and we dont need to figure this silly thing out."

"Oh no.. I cant." She said "i have an engagement"

"With who!?"

"An half -dead old man."

"And who gave you the permission?" He asked

"My.. my.. family.." She said quietly

"I shall figure this out with you and i will leave before the sky turn bright." he said "And i will see you tomorrow as a guardian." He said

"Will you canceled the horrible engagement and .. and..."

"And whatever you asked for."

"Oh thank you so much." She said and hugged him "I pray everyday, hope that you will be happy."

"Did you pray to see me again?"

"Oh no.. I am afraid his lord will think that I am too greedy."

"Oh Brigitta, please dont run away again." He said "You horrified me. I am afraid you might be in danger or you might be snatched like the first time i met you." He kissed his forehead.

"Oh no.. i will not run away from you again." She said "I shall never."

to be continue.... feedback ar.. kinda dunno how to continue it adee...=)

The Devil Guardian 3

"Good day Miss Brigitta." Said the boy who works in the stable

"Good day." she answered

"What can i do for ye miss?"

"I am looking for a challenging horse."

"Com with me." the young boy said and bought her inside to the stable and they saw the duke was inside petting his horse.

"Good day ye grace." the young boy said

"What are you doing here?" the duke asked Brigitta

"I though of riding your grace." She said "I heard you have your finest horse is in London."

"Yes, riding but shouldn't you be preparing for the party tonight?" He questioned curiously

she walked a few steps inner to the stable and said softly "i am nervous. I am afraid that i too old."

"Brigitta, look at me." he said "There is no such thing as too old. you look lovely just like your mother. You will be a success my dear."

"You seen my mother before?" she asked in surprise "How do you think she look like? Is she very much like me?"

"Well, i never met her before, but that's what your father told me." He said "Well, that's not important at all Brigitta. what we should concern now is who shall you be married to. i would love to find you someone who can manage the large sum of money your father left you and love you forever." he said and thought love will never last forever, if it will he wouldnt be staying overnight at so many married women's place. he laughed dryly.

"My mother was very much like me, and this was why my father used to look at me as if i was her sometimes." she said sadly

"Dearest, i think you should be getting ready now. go to your room and be the prettiest young lady in the party." he said "perhaps you can join me for riding tomorrow morning. and the finest horse is in the country not here."

"Oh that's lovely, for sure join you tomorrow your grace. thank you for inviting me." she said and ran into the mansion

_______________________________

"May i invite you for a dance?" A young man asked Brigitta

"Yes, of coz." She answered

"My name is Gabriel, my father is Sir Thomson Lee"

"Nice to meet you Gabriel." She said and smile.

she felt some where something not right about this young man. his smile and action looked awkward to her. He doesn't looked like happy or perhaps he was force to dance with her.

"Thank you it was a wonderful dance." She said and walked to the garden

The parties and attention she wanted all time is not like what she thought it would be after all. Her mother was an Austrian. Her mother used to tell her how wonderful is the balls and parties while she was in Vienna. Her mother was from a well hounded family in Austria, She was raised in Vienna until her father was asked to on duty in India. her father send her back to the country so that she will be well looked after y her grandmother which passed away 3 years ago.

The duke saw her and he cleared his throat "Why are you here?" He asked

"I though of getting some fresh air your grace." She answered and rose from the stone she sat

"No.. sit.." He said "Please.. sit." He said and sat on the stoned bench she was sitting.

"Are you not enjoying the party? I saw a few gentlemen invited you for a dance. and if i werent mistaken the son of Sir Thomson invited you twice."

"Yes, he did." She answered

"He must be interested in you."

"Perhaps he is." She answered quietly and looked inside the ballroom. "It is Landler, the Austrian folk dance."

"I didnt know you know that." he said

"Oh.. of coz i do, my mother was an Austrian."

"What a coincident, my mother was an Austrian as well." He said and he rose "May I?" He invited her for a dance in the garden

"I dont know if i still remember it.... but yes."

"Oh im sorry." She stepped on his foot. "I dont.. really remember the steps..'

"is okay." He smiled and they continue the dance

"Here you are." A man said

"Oh.. hi George." The duke said and stopped the dance

"This must be Brigitta." Said George "Why are you here?"

"I thought of getting some fresh air." She said "I am going to join the party again." She said and smiled

"And what are you doing here?" He asked the duke

"fresh air as well.,,, i suppose" He simply answered

"Fresh air? this is not funny my friend." George mocked

"I am tired of being under the spot light. since this is a party for Brigitta, I shouldn't be the one who is stealing her thunder." He said

"How thoughtful of you."

"As always" said the duke

She turned and wanted to run and the train started to moved. her brain was working really hard should she escape or stay? but if she were to escape where should she go? she cant jump off the train, it will hurt herself and she will need a doctor and she will need money.

"Brigitta, if i were you, i will just sit down and enjoy this beautiful cabin, instead of having all the silly thoughts." the duke said "jumping off the train is certainty not a very good idea and as a guardian i do not wish you to do that." he said and poured himself a glass of champaign. "Mr Rubin, Miss Brigitta is going to stay with me in this cabin, i will fetch you when you are needed. thank you."


she turn to him and stare at him. there was a sight with a mixture of anger and fear. she was so lost, she didnt know what should she do.


"Sit" He commanded


she obey him and sat down in a conner that is near to the cabin door. She thought that it will be easier for her to escape if anything happened.


"Why are you still having the silly thoughts?" He asked


"What thought are you referring to... Sir.."


"Escaping." He said and smiled "There is no way for you to run until we reached London. i am quite certain that it will be a fairly long journey please make yourself comfortable"


"I will throw you a ball and parties." He said "I apologize for my absence in these years."


"You forgot about me. didnt you?" she asked quietly


"I afraid i have to said yes. and im extermly sorry about that." He said after a deep breath "As you know im very busy with my career in India... I am really sorry Brigitta." he missed something he thought. he was in France for the last two weeks with his mistress.


"The maids told me you were in France a few weeks." She said quietly


"I am sorry.. whhhat did you just say?"


"You were with your French mistress in France." She made it even clearer


"Ohh...The maids told you that?" He asked


"yes, sir."


"How.."


"How do they know? they know a lot about you sir." she said with a disgusted sight "they even knew that you stay over at Mrs Watson place while her husband was away."


"Umhp.." He was shocked and coughed instantly.


"Piece of advise sir, if you dont want anyone to know about it. dont do it." She said and shut her eyes to rest.



This is what always happened in the society. Beauties asked for attention from some handsome and successful man besides their own husband. Is very common, however he wouldnt like Brigitta to know all of this.
_____________________________________


London, the busy streets, cars, carriages, ladies with beautiful dress and men with smart suits. Brigitta was so fascinated and cant stop herself from instant putting her head out of the window.


"Brigitta, i suggest you to sit down, everyone is staring at you. is indecent." Said the duke


"Yes, sir." She replied and sat down decently


"Mr Rubin, please inform everyone that im throwing a party at my mansion tonight for Brigitta the daughter of Earl of Derby"


"Very well, your grace."


"and Brigitta, when you are referring to people like me, a duke, you dont use the word Sir but Your Grace." He said "And i want you to remember that. in a matter of fact you actually have to remember that."


"Mr Rubin please do send Brigitta some grown for the party tonight." He said "brigitta this is a small party to introduce you to the social world, and i will have a Ball when you are ready. got me?"


"Yes, si.. Your Grace."


"Very well." he answered "the first thing you are expected to do is to changed your toned grown into a a new grown and join me for luncheon."


"yes, You Grace." she said and she thought "what else can i do expect for obeying? what a devil."


"Brigitta, do not fall for someone easily. you are well aware that your dad has left a huge fortune of money for you. there are fortune hunters that looks like a rich decent man out there. I am not asking you to but i ant you to tell me, who you laid your eyes on and you need my permission to see anyone. understood?"


"I understand, your grace." devil.. devil.. devil...


they have arrived the mansion. Is not as huge as the one in the country, however is looks expensive.


"Brigitta listen to me and obey my orders." he said "You dont know what is good for you. you are too young to know." he said and walked up to his room.


the maid walked her to her room. she open the curtains and she saw Warwick square and the beauties and gentlemen walking around. Oh.. she is in love with London, she thought.


"Miss Brigitta, his grace asked you to take a quick bath and join him in the garden for lunch."


"Very well." orders! obey! what is wrong with him? Im not his armies in India.


______________________________


"Finally you are here." He said "I hope to hear a valid reason for your fashionable timing."


"Your grace, you did not state what time should i be here. what you have told me was to have a quick bath and join yo for lunch." She said "So im not late."


"Young lady, this is not the right way to talk to me. even if im not your guardian i am still someone with a social status."


"..." she really hoped that she can pour the lemonade on his face. he is so annoying.


"I hope you will enjoy the party tonight." He said


"certainly, your grace."


"Brigitta, your dad has given me a position that i am force to be firm to you. i hope you understand. im not a devil like you thought. However, you are far too young to realized what is right and wrong." He said and stared at her with his dark eyes.


His has a lot of secret in his eyes. she can feel it. and it's so attractive. she has to admit he has a handsome face and she can easily tell why is everyone so crazy about him.


"Brigitta!" He cried


"Yes? your.. grace?"


"Why are you staring at me?" he asked


"No.. i thought you have a pair of beautiful eyes."


"Thank you." he said "please also do remember im your guardian." he is making it very clear to her that do not fall in love with him.


____________________________


However, love is simply unpredictable. do the duke can really stop Brigitta if she is really in love?
stay tune! =)


Feedback. should i continue it?
