Chapter 39: Gathering for Mesuna IV

Duchess Ame leaned against the headboard, the soft glow of the lamp casting shadows across their spacious bedroom. Her long, dark hair cascaded in silky waves over her shoulders, framing her strikingly beautiful face. A subtle smirk played on her full lips, exuding an air of confident allure. 

The delicate lace of her nightgown accentuated her ample curves, hinting at the timeless grace of a woman who knew her beauty was a powerful weapon. Her deep brown eyes sparkled with a mix of mischief and wisdom, making her presence impossible to ignore.

Her eyes softened as they drifted to her husband, Duke Dante Ven Londor, sitting beside her with a book in his hands. The imposing man, often known for his fierce demeanor on the battlefield and in politics, looked unusually serene as he turned the pages of his leather-bound book.
