Duchess title

Outside the room, they were waiting for Atthy's three personal maids. They immediately bowed down, immediately welcoming Hugh out of Atthy's room. They all whispered and blushed, remembering Hugh and Atthy that their mistress had just spent the night together.

''Milord... Is there anything I should prepare?'' Asked Helena, who had just arrived, and immediately approached her master.

"Call Alwyn to my room immediately, and also get Dr. Windfold to see her condition!'' cried Hugh commanded.

''Excuse me, my lord?'' Helena exclaimed with a questioning face.

''She... Looks like she's hurt, no... She, she is... Never mind!... You just take care of her!'' cried Hugh, he spoke stiffly.

Helena was surprised to see the awkward expression of her master, an expression that Hugh rarely showed, even to Helena. A middle-aged woman who has served the Drustan family since Hugh was not born. Helena was astonished, but she was also pleased to see her former young master's blushing face.

''Wow... Looks like last night was a beautiful night for them. You're doing great, Duchess, for making this stubborn person put on a cute expression. Finally, spring has come to you, Young Master...'' Helena muttered in her heart.

Helena was cheering inside her heart behind her professional expression as the head maid Hugh trusted the most. Helena Witmore, is a female clerk who has worked for the Drustans since she was very young. She had witnessed the growth and development of his young masters, even since the birth of Hugh's eldest brother, even if only as an ordinary servant.

Now that Hugh has become a Duke, Helena, who has been a servant in the Drustan family for three decades, is entrusted with holding the position of the head maid at Duke Hugh Ethan Drustan's residence. It had been five years since Hugh had been made a Duke, and Helena had served him as a head maid.

''What's wrong?... Come on in, help the Duchess get ready for breakfast!'' Helena shouted, rebuking Atthy's three personal maids, who were making noise at Atthy's bedroom door.

How shocked Helena was by the sight she saw. Her body shook in disbelief, her eyes widened while her hand covered her mouth. She was astonished to see the messy condition of the room, coupled with the appearance of Atthy, which made anyone who saw her feel sad.

''Duchess!... What's going on?!'' Helena exclaimed, immediately approaching Atthy, who was still sitting on her bed in a daze.

Atthy looked at Helena with a pitiful face but her eyes remained firm on her. Helena's face, which was always straight like Hugh's, immediately turned worried and panicked, as well as sympathy for Atthy's condition. An expression that had never been shown by Helena, ever since she served as the head maid at Skythia Castle.

''Duchess, I'll be right away...'' Helena, who panicked, immediately acted, but was immediately stopped by Atthy. Helena couldn't even finish her words because she was cut off by Atthy.

''Helena, I beg you...'' Atthy said in a low voice while looking at Helena.

''Leave me... Leave me alone, please...''

"Duchess, but..."

''Helena... Just this once, please listen to me, and don't ask anything!... Just leave me alone. Give me some time... Please''

Hearing Atthy's request in such a sorry state, Helena was very worried about leaving Atthy alone. But, in the end, Helena could only surrender. Because a Duchess like Atthy shouldn't keep repeating her words to a maid like her.

Helena finally complied with Atthy's request. She left Atthy according to her request. She immediately brought three of Atthy's personal maids and at that moment Helena saw something that made her heart feel something strange in Atthy's three personal maids. Helena felt that something was strange but it was difficult for Helena to describe clearly what her heart and mind were suspecting when she saw the behavior of Atthy's three personal maids.

Amid Helena's anxious feelings, she had been thinking about whether this was the right time for her to see Atthy's condition, especially since it was already lunchtime and Atthy had also missed her breakfast this morning.

''Mrs Helena...'' Alwyn called.

''Ah!... Mr. Alwyn, what's wrong?'' Helena asked, greeting Alwyn.

''Madam please give this document to the Duchess'' Alwyn said as he handed something in an envelope.

“Documents?!... Alright... Ah! Mr. Alwyn, sorry, can you help me?... Please call Doctor Sarah'' pleaded Helena then.

''Of course. But, why doctor Sarah?... Is anyone sick?'' Alwyn asked probingly, he was sincerely worried about her.

“Duchess...” Helena said, but she stopped her words and then continued, “Duchess, needs treatment...'' said Helena, continuing her halted words.

''Is the Duchess not feeling well?'' asked Alwyn with a look in his eyes that showed that he was worried.

''Yes, please call Doctor Sarah as soon as possible'' Helena answered immediately.

''Okay... I'll do it soon'' replied Alwyn.

"Thank you," Helena said politely.

''You're welcome... Glad to help you, Mrs. Helena'' politely replied Alwyn.

Helena smiled while nodding politely at Alwyn, the butler at Skythia Castle. Two people Hugh trusted to take care of the Castle. Helena takes care of the maids and kitchen affairs, while Alwyn takes care of all operations at the Castle, including Helena, who is Alwyn's direct subordinate.

**

There was a knock on Atthy's bedroom door followed by Helena's voice asking Atthy's permission to enter. As soon as Atthy let her in, Helena handed over the documents Alwyn had left with her to give to Atthy.

''Duchess... Are you all right?'' Helena asked, looking at Atthy.

The professional appearance of Helena, who served as the head maid at Duke Drustan's Castle, had returned to normal. However, Helena sincerely thought about Atthy's worrying condition.

''I'm okay Helena...'' Atthy replied with a sad face even though she was still trying to smile.

Atthy's surprised expression was visible when she saw the document given by Helena. Soon after that, Atthy showed a bitter smile. But, also seen by Helena, Atthy's eyes looked like she was crying even though there wasn't a single tear flowing from the two purple eyeballs.

''What's wrong, Duchess?!'' Helena asked. She was made curious by Atthy's reaction.

''Duchess...'' said Atthy with a tone of facial expression that looked like she was about to cry, even though she was laughing, ''I no longer have that title Helena. Only Atthaleyah... Atthaleyah Romanov,'' Atthy said, continuing his words.

"Duchess?! I'm sorry Duchess, I don't understand...'' replied Helena, who was surprised.

''Your master... sent me the divorce papers'' Atthy replied with a relaxed face that looked like she was about to cry while holding up the divorce papers from Hugh that were sent by Alwyn and handed over by Helena.

"Huh?!" Helena exclaimed in shock. She was shocked by the news that Atthy conveyed with a face she couldn't believe.

Because she was so surprised, Helena forgot that she intended to invite Atthy to lunch soon. She was worried about the wounds she had seen on Atthy's body this morning. She was feeling angry now and wanted to run over to Hugh and ask him what had happened between the two of them.

''Duchess!'' Helena exclaimed, reflexively holding Atthy's hand, who was ready to sign the divorce papers in her hands.

Helena was even surprised by her own actions just now. A maid seemed to be obstructing the Duchess' actions so recklessly, Helena was breaking cold sweat with her own behavior just now.
