Soon more deaths started to occur and they both find themselves standing in mid of many misunderstandings and conflicts.

“I asked what were you doing there?” she glared back at the roaring man who was trying to show his rights to her.
“I was dancing with the Earl Nickolas,” she replied, looking back in his eyes.
“Theodore go and bring the fingers of Earl who has dared to touch what is mine.” came the reply with an evil smirk.
“Now tell me, my dear wife,” he whispered as he came close to her, “which part of your body have he actually touched?

Bambi and the Duke
Disowned for being a human, Vivian was taken in as a maid at the age of seven by the Carmichael household. Serving one of the most respected and elite pureblood families in Bonelake, there were rules.
Rules that must be followed by all servants and maids.
Like everyone else, Vivian was repeatedly reminded not to disobey the rules. But before she could learn to blend into the background like the other servants, the Duke's young son calls to her,
“Bambi.”
And all hell breaks loose.
-----
"What? Never seen a bruise before?" Leonard scoffed at the girl.
"Does it hurt?" Vivian asked, gently kneeling beside him and examining the several bruises covering his face.
"Not that much."
Remembering what her mother used to do when she got a bruise, Vivian brought her sleeve to her mouth and blew warm air on it before placing it on the boy's cheek, taking him by surprise.
Leonard swatted her hand away, a hint of pink appearing on his cheeks embarrassed, "W-what are you doing?"
"Mama told me this will make the pain go away," the girl held her hand close to her chest as she shared her past memory.
"I’m not a child!” Leonard huffed at her.
“I don’t think you’re a child,” she stared at him with a crystal-clear gaze.
Taken aback, Leonard locked eyes with her for two seconds before shaking his head.
“Don’t worry about it. They’ll heal in a day or two anyways," he reassured her before getting up and taking a seat at the table where his books were placed.
"Odd girl," he muttered to himself as he pulled the top book from the stack and lost himself in it.

Saved By The Mad Duke
[COMPLETED]
Aideen Ruan, though a royal princess, was always unwanted due to the circumstances of her birth. Born blind to a hostage concubine, she possessed an intriguing beauty; however, her disability rendered her utterly useless to the royal family.
Even when the struggling Count Crueder reluctantly agreed to take Aideen as his wife to secure the royal dowry, her life failed to improve. A year into their marriage, Aideen's inability to produce an heir sealed her fate. The princess was destined for exile to the Temple, consigned to spend the remainder of her days in isolation and abandonment.
Contrary to her anticipations, instead of the Temple, Aideen found herself within the cold walls of Duke Tillian Valentine's castle. Duke Valentine, the last scion of the once-revered Valentine family that ruled the Kingdom before the "Fratricide Rebellion", now presided over the desolate Northern lands.
Faced with fear and confusion, Aideen expected her life to perpetuate its cycle of misery, only to discover that Duke Valentine might hold the key to a new opportunity, a chance at a life she had never envisioned.
"You bewitched my body and soul. Put an intoxicating spell on me, shackled my heart to yours with your magic. If I could exchange my eyesight with you, I would do it just to make you see what a man dying from love looks like."

Yes, they probably do. Bambi might like light novels with a lot of heart - warming stories and cute characters. The Duke may prefer those with more intellectual content, such as ones that involve complex political intrigue.
Well, they might have different reactions. Bambi could be really into the fantasy elements in the light novels, while the Duke might be more interested in the strategic parts if there are any in the stories.
The story of Bambi has its origins in the 1923 Austrian novel 'Bambi, a Life in the Woods' by Felix Salten. It was based on Salten's observations of nature and his love for deer. The novel was later adapted into the well - known Disney animated film, which brought the story to a global audience.
Bambi and Faline fanfiction is appealing because it can fill in the gaps left by the original story. For instance, we didn't see much of their early courtship in the movie. Fanfiction can explore how they first fell in love, the little glances and gestures that led to their bond.
One idea could be a story about Bambi and Faline's adventures in a new part of the forest. Maybe they discover a hidden meadow filled with rare flowers and have to protect it from other animals who want to claim it for themselves.
Yes, 'Wildflower Bambi' is a true story. It's based on real - life events that happened to someone named Bambi. The story is often told to inspire others with the real - life challenges and triumphs that Bambi faced.
I don't know who the author of the 'bambi novel' is. There are many novels out there and without more specific information, it's difficult to determine the author.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels with the name 'Bambi'. It might be a story centered around a character named Bambi, perhaps about Bambi's adventures, growth, or relationships.
The meaning of the Bambi story varies depending on how you interpret it. For some, it's about the circle of life and the challenges of growing up in the wild. For others, it might be a lesson in resilience and the importance of family.
