55 [Bonus chapter]

Evan was sure that this was the last blow. He would soon throw a tantrum and she would be thrown out of the palace. So, her level of pride increased.

"Who are you to ask me that? Bow down your head!" The man looked at him dumbfounded and she gloated. He must be shocked to hear the attitude in her voice. 

"What? Did you not hear me?" she asked again as she raised her head high.

"Father." Both girls held one hand of their father and the man finally blinked.

But instead of shouting or arguing with her, he turned and glared at his daughters.

"Can't you see that she was the chosen duchess. As marques our family had to bow their heads in front of her. So, what was the issue here if she had asked you to bow your heads?" He scolded his daughter, making not only them but even Evan dumbfounded.

Her jaw hit the floor when she listened to him. Wasn't he supposed to be furious at getting command from a young girl, a commoner at that!?
