Chapter 7 Enemies with a Male lead? PFTT- I got the Duke! (Unedited)

Ok so I think I might of made an enemy without knowing. Like I know I'm not the best egg in the bunch, but this is just record timing Crap.

Is like Crystal a magnet to negativity or something, because if so I don't want this body anymore.

'Walter I'm coming for you!'

Crystal sat down on the counter silently nibbling her Carrots. A guilty expression was obvious on the childs face.

The Duke just casually glanced at her while he stood against the wall drinking a cup of water and might they say, in a rather elegant manner.

'I'm so lucky I don't have teenage hormones right now...or I might've dropped dead on the spot,' Crystal looked at her father with teary eyes just to get some guilt on his face.

The dukes hand shakes at his daughter's cuteness as he tried fighting back the urge to give her all the food she wanted in the world, but alas his father instincts kicked in and gave in to her.

"Sweetness you can have the meat next to you, just don't tell you're mother..." the Duke pleaded silently at his cute daughter.

Crystal's eye's shone at her father's weaknesses and at the reward she got, immediately she picked up the plate to start munching down.

'What is this food! Has God finally blessed me! I wanna say a thank you to pastor Rubid that knocked on my door at 3 am... I wouldn't of had the patience if not for you my pastor!' Crystal finally cried tears as she ate the meat like someone who has been starved for days.

Reymand started panicking at her tears, but eventually calmed down as he saw her smile. He gripped his chest and bit his lip as he squeezed his eyes shut tightly 'Why is my daughter so cute...No I can't let those wolf's see her! I must protect my daughter! I'll shut her indoors if I have too!'

If Crystal would of heard her father's thought she would've spat the food at him that instant, but luckily Crystal couldn't read minds.

"Papa," Crystal interrupted his thought processes as she slowly looked up

Right now Crystal was playing dirty and using his weakness as a father to manipulate him. She usually would called Duke father, but she would only call him Papa if she needed something. These tatics were often used in her past life, she manipulated people with their weakness.

'It's true... Me and my new father hasn't bonded that much, his only showering love on me like a decent father would. But I noticed Crystal and Reymend never ever had a proper conversation that lasted for a decent time.

I might've made progress with the training, but that's all we spoke about...

I need my father on my side if I want my goal's to be fulfilled,' Crystal glanced at her father as she took a sip of milk that her father handed to her while he ate a few pastries.

Crystal's father darted to her as his smile grew, "Yes my lovely Crystal?" he eagerly wagged his imaginary tail.

Nope. Who is this again? Could I please get the script! This is NOT I repeat NOT the cold blooded Duke! Where's my cool father! I think I need my eyes checked cause, I think I'm seeing things.

"I've been thinking..." Crystal paused while she fiddled with her fingers, "I feel like Papa's so distant lately..." Crystal started pulling the crocodile tears trick at half capacity.

Reymends dog ears lowered as his tail followed. He listened more intently as he sat next to her.

'Hehe if Walter's ganna snitch on me, might as well use this opportunity to gain favor. Kid your way too young too realize you gave me an advantage,' Crystal smiled evily inwardly.

"I felt the rift between us grow...so I thought that food might help me have a little comfort," Crystal sniffed a few times for extra effect.

The Duke raised his hand, and patted her head hesitantly, "My Crystal will look good even if she's a little chubby... And no, I've been just busy with the Estates affairs," the Duke put his hands back in his lap awkwardly.

Crystal's facade nearly cracked when she saw Reyemd's actions, 'Bingo!'

Crystal's clasped her father's hands and she gave her brightest smile, which turned out to look cheeky from Reymend's point of view.

'I know why the Duke doesn't interact with Crystal that much!'

The void in Crystal's eyes grew larger, as her Crystal clear purple eye's seemed to absorb Reymend's soul along with everything that came across it. She changed her facial expression and matched the serene mood.

Reymend flinched as he attempted to pull away, but Crystal began speaking in a firm tone, "I'm not a glass doll, stop looking at me as a Ornament.

I'm a human just like you father. I don't need others to protect me because I'm Crystal Vonder Chester, From the house of Chester the Daughter of the Duke Reymend Vonder Chester And Amber Peony."

This time Crystal wasn't talking for her own feelings only, she spoke for herself as well as Dumb Crystal.

"I do look weak father, but I might have the strongest resilience than anyone you know. So stop worrying about me breaking, because if anyone dares to try...' Crystal's grip became stronger on her father's hands, with a brief wave of Malice that flashed through her eye's.

She looked back at her father and reverted back to her cheeky smile, "Let me show society what women can do," she gave a genuine smile this time letting go of her father's hand's.

The corner of Reymends mouth raised as he responded, "Of course, whatever my little Crystal does will work out!" Reymend cheered for Crystals success.

'Poor Crystal she didn't know the conflicts going on in her families heads. I have to fix the relationships before they drift too far apart, that it becomes unfixable.

"Father thank you for the meal, I'm quite sleepy," Crystal hopped off the counter top and turned to Reymend, "Goodnight father."

Crystal walked out the door not caring about the guards surprise, then quickly picked up the pace, 'He knows...' she started biting her thumb nail in nervousness.

'How does he know this quick in the novel? It wasn't suppose to be Revealed yet!?' she walked through the corridor eventually going into her room as she burst in and shut the door immediately behind her.

She plopped herself on her bed in frustration, releasing muffled screams within the blanket.

'I hate surprises...and this one certainly took the cake,' Crystal started hitting the blanket. but at some point she gave up from tiredness.

'How the F*ck does he know I don't have any affinity with magic?!'
