2. She is the sexiest Man in this century

She wiped the sweat that runs down to her forehead with the back of her palm. The heat of the sunlight started to hurt his body but she did not care. She continued to swing her sword in the direction she wants. If someone asks her, did she feel tired doing something like this? Nope. Because after she moved into this house it has become a habit to train his body with swordplay for every morning she wakes up. After all, she was a knight of the Duke's house.

It was an honour thing to get a title as a knight even though at first she was forced to learn swordman ship at a young age. After that, she was deprived by her father to join the military force under his father's command. She did not have a choice. To sustain her body shape as a knight, she needed to train her body. She also will run at least ten laps every day to uphold her body stamina and strength.

"Look, Sir Desmond is practising! He is so gorgeous."

"Yeah, look at his biceps! His skin so smooth and beautiful with sweat everywhere."

"Ahh...I'm drooling."

"Behave yourself."

Desmond did not know that every morning she workout, several maids were taking a turn to peep at her. She will be gossiping about how stunning her body appearance.

"But I never saw Sir Desmond shirtless during his training, " said one of them.

"I wonder what a pretty thing he had under the shirt?"

"He had a beautiful and sexy six-pack under his shirt." Another maid interrupted the conversation. The answer makes others maids glare at her with jealousy.

"So, I am the lucky one to have seen it once. Hehehehe..." Her smiles make her colleagues more envious of her.

To be fair, she also never saw Sir Desmond completely shirtless during her training. Unlike most of the other knights, they were shameless take off their shirts during the morning training. She was just lucky on that day because at that time Sir Desmond was full of sweat and he did not bring his towel. So he used the tip of his shirt to wipe the sweat on his face. At that moment, she was very grateful. Even though she could not see the full views of his body, God had the mercy to allow her to see the beautiful and sexy six-pack that belongs to Sir Desmond.

From afar, Bennett could see there are several maids stand-in one group are constantly gossiping about something. This atmosphere is a common thing that happens during the day. He simply smiles while looking at these manners. His sister was surely famous among their servant whether they were women or men. For men, maybe they envied her sister capabilities and handsomeness.

"What are you gossiping about?" He reprimands the maids with solemn-faced.

They were all startled when heard his voices. Realized they took a long time off from their work, without waste any second they were run with the full of speed after properly apologised to him. Honestly, he wants to laugh with the whole of his heart but according to his nobility, he tried to behave like one.

After he settled with the maids, he took a step further, gradually approached her sister that was so concentrated with her swordplay.

"Why are you working so hard? If you miss a day it does not change any bit of your body shape." After saying that, Bennett lent a bottle of mineral water to Desmond.

She put her sword on the bench and took the bottle from her brother's hand. She drank the water greedily then splash the remaining water on her head. After that, she shakes off her head. Ahh...it feels so fresh!

Bennett shook his head in disbelief. His sister attitude looked like a man when she did that. Where did her feminine side go?

"I'm not like you. I can not keep my durability if I don't do this, " she heartless said. The other thing is, she would never concede to her brother about her cravings for sweet foods. Whenever she ate the sweet foods, she would take in enormous portions. As a result, she is easy to gain weight.

"Why are you looking for me?" She asked him while taking a seat beside her brother. Bennett grinned cheekily.

"I want to see the sexiest man in this century, that is why I'm looking for you." Desmond burst into laughter when she heard her brother compliment.

"I'm telling you the truth. Everyone in this house said you are a sexy man." Said Bennett earnestly. Desmond glared at his brother. Clearly, her face shows that she was unhappy with the statement.

"Say it for the first time, I would take you are joking with me but the second time you tell me I feel like you are mocking me." She said solemnly. The truth that she knew everyone in this house kept rumouring about her appearance make her detest it at all.

"Hey, brother! Just be happy whatever they praised you whenever you are in uniforms or dress." He persuades her.

He used to call her 'brother' whenever they were in public places to avoid any misunderstanding if someone heard their conversation.

"That seems not right, brother. It appears like I neither a man nor a woman." Her voice became sadder as she said the word.

Bennett became clueless. That was not his intention when he calls her the sexiest man in the century. This topic is so sensitive to Desmond.

"Okay, don't be sad. We will stop talking about this. The thing is, Father was looking for you. That is why I came here to see you." His face became serious when he talks about their father.

Desmond knows there is something crucial happening when her brother shows up in front of her this morning. As the Captain Knights of the Royal Palaces, it was so hard to meet her brother on a normal day.

Every time she heard the word 'father', her face is uttering slightly discomfort impressions. She senses her body shivers roll down to the spine of her body. She looked at her brother and nodded slightly. Noticing her sister affliction, Bennett patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry. I will be there." He convinces her with a smile. She nodded again.

After she changes her clothes to her uniform knight, she went together with Bennett to their father's offices. When she enters the room, she saw there four people were waiting for her arrival. They are Duke, Duchess, Lady Lucretia and Sir Jade, the butler of this house. Her face becomes stiff. She did not expect to see all these people in one place. This is sure torturing her heart deeply.

"You sure take your time precisely." Duke Rosxewell, Lord Owen speaks in scoffed complexion. His visions were still on the documents in his hand. He never bothers to take a look at her.

The Duchess, Lady Eleanor just calm sip her tea while Lady Lucretia, Lady of the Rosxewell house was glancing at her with a look of contempt.

"I apologize for making you wait, Father." As she said that, she bowed in respect.

"I know, you are aware of the King to find a suitable candidate to become his consort. As a Lady of Rosxewell house, Lucretia is one of the candidates. Therefore, I assign you to escort Lucretia as her knight during she lives at the capital." The Duke give his instructions while writing something on the paper.

His face still did not look up to her as he spoke. Not even a glance, like as the Duke was disgusted looking at her. Why does he treat her this way? When she properly follows every single his word until now. She even changes her appearance and lives the way he wanted her to be. But, he never acknowledged her as his child.

"During live in the capital, your priority is Lucretia life and her requirements. As a knight of this house, you need to serve her like she is the important lady. She is your responsibility. I don't care if it will cost your own life. You will be departing in four days. Now, you can dismiss." The Duke speak with fierce temperaments as a fact never give another party to negotiate with him.

Bennett cannot accept his father instructions. Why he has been a jerk to his daughter? Not to mention he has been heartless made Desmond live like a man, he also forced his sister to work as a knight with no higher raking and now he wants to pester her to be a slave for Lucretia. He knows very well how the relationship goes between his sisters. This is the most ridiculous thing, he had seen.

"Father, I don't think this is the right thing to do. If you are so concerned about Lucretia, why not you assign Sir Hull, the most capable knight of Rosxewell house to be her knight. Des doesn't need to take this responsibility and go to the capital." He tried to negotiate with his father. He knew that, assigns Desmond as Lucretia's Knight was not a sincere decree.

"Don't you argue with me! As the ruler of this house, I had the right to assign whoever I want. I also can give the command to them to do whatever I want them to do. It's not like Sir Hull cannot accompany Lucretia to go to the capital. It depends on his wise judgement to recruit whoever is suitable to accompany Lucretia to the capital. I'm in charge of him taking care of Lucretia well being. So, it's up to him to do whatever is suitable in his eyes. After all, Lucretia is his sister." As Duke Rosxewell speaks, he looked at Bannett. He faces still as serious as ever.

Desmond looked at her brother and father arguments. She knows this is a conspiracy to make her life more difficult but listen to his father word, there is nothing wrong with it. That was still reasonable as a knight that worked for this house.

"It's alright, brother." She said while giving slightly gleaming to her brother. She looks to assure her brother that she will be fine.

"I'm honoured to be a Knight for Lady Lucretia. I will make sure, I can exceed your expectations, Father." She said again with the higher spirit. Even though she could not want to be enslaved by her sister, she needs to be strong because this is her father decree.

"Good!" After the Duke said that, he gets up and walk through the door without even looking at her, followed by Duchess and then Lucretia. Before Lucretia went out of the room, she stopped in front of her with ridicule glimpsed.

"I'm looking forward to seeing your performance, brother." She smirked at her. Then, Lucretia went out of the rooms with an elegant posture.

Truly, she envies her sister that had a small body and can wear a beautiful dress. She was also a pretty lady that most of the man in this state was crazy about. Whenever she goes everyone is an admirer of her beauty. Compared to her that had the title of sexy man in this house was nothing to be proud of because she was neither sexy nor a man
