"Wife, this is going to be our room. This is the largest room in the twenty room mansion." Mo Li beamed when he saw her face darkened. "Look at that huge chandelier above the Jacuzzi. What do you think?"

"Will you stop calling me wife?"

"I remember when I introduce yourself to me… you said I can call you whatever I like."

"…" she rolled her eyes. Who would have thought that this man would start calling her wife? She walked towards the huge bed, her footsteps were muffled by the carpeted floor. The soft sound of jazz filled the atmosphere.

Lucinia couldn't help but smile as she stared at the muted colors of the room. Everything was actually just like what she wanted. Even the beige-colored sheets were to her liking. She eyed the fireplace located a few feet away from the bed.

Fronting the fireplace was like a cozy living room, with a few stacks of books next to the coffee table. "I was expecting an extravagant place with gold railings and huge paintings."

"You wouldn't like that."

"You are right," she nodded. She would always prefer comfort over anything else.

"Let me take you to the other parts of the mansion."

Lucinia nodded. For some reason, Mo Li insisted that they visit their room first. She then followed Mo Li to the first floor of the mansion. This mansion is not actually what she had in mind. After all, the Duke from her memories was a very mysterious existence.

"Did you think that I was living in a house made of gems?" she heard him asked.

"No. But I was thinking of a really extravagant castle."

"That was reasonable. However, I think a huge castle was too lonely. Why would I want to stay in a huge house without you?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-redemption_17733026705591705/lilies_50092373056741955 for visiting.

"…" She rolled her eyes. "Will you stop saying stuff like that? It is…"

"It's what?"

"Uncomfortable. You are making me cringe."

He chuckled. Of course, it would. He beamed as he started leading her towards the different room inside the mansion. The entertainment hall, living room, dining room, and the kitchen.

"From now on, Madam Liliana will be working with Madam Roela and her daughter, Miss Victoria."

Lucinia only lifted an eyebrow. Witches? Mo Li is actually working with witches? Of course, Lucinia only knew this because of her system's warning. However, she was more interested in the reason why the system would warn her about the two.

Was it possible that these two people would play a vital role in the lives of the male and female lead? After all, the system would only tell him things that would involve the male and female lead.

"I believe you are already aware that this is her highness Lucinia de Carinus, she my wife."

Lucinia didn't miss the sinister glint in Victoria's eyes. So, was it possible that Victoria liked the Duke? She looked at Duke Mo as she frowned.

"Is there something wrong?" Duke Mo asked her when he noticed the change in her expression.

"Nothing. But I am hungry. I would like some potatoes and perhaps a steak."

"Of course." Mo Li said. He immediately looked at the two women in front of them. Almost immediately, the two curtsied and bowed to him. "Let's visit the garden?"

Lucinia nodded. She then followed him out of the mansion and immediately inquired about the witches.

"How did you know that?" he frowned.

"I know a lot of stuff," she lifted her chin and watched him smile. "I would assume you already know this?"

"Hmmm." He nodded.

"Are they aware?" she touched a white flower. "What is this?"

"Lily."

"Excuse me?"

"They are called Lily."

"Oh? They look… different." The flower actually looked like a white rose than a lily. She looked at the sea of lilies in front of them for a few seconds. "Why Lily?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why did you chose to have Lilies in your garden?"

"Why not?"He held her hand and pulled her towards the pathway that would lead them in the middle of the flowers. "It's beautiful and it suits you."

"Why do you think the flower Lily suits me? Isn't that a flower of death?"

He shrugged. "Lilies are used in funerals not because they meant death. Their color was associated with purity and rebirth."

Rebirth. The world made her frowned. She was but a soul who was tasked to travel worlds doing things. 'Robot. After all this, shall I have rebirth too?' she couldn't help but ask.

[Bee does not have permission to answer.]

"What's wrong?" he asked as she felt him intertwined his hand into hers.

"Nothing. I was just tired."

"Vampires don't get tired."

"Is that why you have been trying to torture me every night? I am not like you! Isn't that something that you should know by now?"

"Why are you making it sound like you didn't like it?" He teased. She opened her mouth, trying to argue but ended up not saying anything.

"Your grace the food is ready. Shall I bring it in the garden?" Victoria's voice suddenly echoed behind them.

"Yes," Mo Li answered without looking at the woman. In the middle of the garden just a few feet away from where they were standing was a structure that would be able to hide any vampires from the sun. It was consist of a sitting area and a table where one would dine in. He then led Lucinia inside as he continued smiling.

"If you know what they were then… why are you keeping them with you? If the royal family would know that— "

"Hmmm… are you perhaps worried about me?"

Her face darkened. "Why would I worry about you? Who is worried about you? My concern is my prestigious name! What would they think of me if my husband is like that?"

"Husband…" he sat across her. "The sound of that is just divine."

"Can you stop changing the topic?" she hissed. This man is really testing her patience.

"I won't." He beamed. "Unless you kiss me."
