Chapter 8- Shocking Declaration
Amidst the shocking chaos that took place, Nate walked towards Delta, held her hands and took her to the center of the hall and announced that, "I am Angry that Mr. Carter Finnegan is the cause of my father's death but I can't blame Delta for that. She is my wife and a dignified woman. I can't unleash my anger on her."
Mrs. Mennigan asked, " The Duke, will you take any actions against Mr. Carter?"
Nate replied, "No, I forgive him."
The ton and Kate(Nate's mother) was shocked. Delta could not speak a word and stood still.
Rose(carter's sister) emotionally expressed, "Thank you Mr. Nate."
Kate fumed in rage, "You may forgive him but I won't son. Since you have chosen the murderer's daughter Delta, I disown you."
Nate emotionally looked into his mother's eyes, in a soft and shaking voice he said , "Mother, you can't do this. Please! You have to give me a chance."
Delta interrupted, " Mrs. Klen."
Kate angrily responded, "No, I won't engage in conversation with my husband's murderer's daughter."
Delta took a step backwards. Nate tried to explain his mother but she did not listen and left the venue.
The guests also left the wedding venue and everyone took off from the venue as well.
On the other hand the queen decided to appoint an investigator to find out the secret identity of the 'Eye-Opener'.
The Queen emphasized, "Kentucky, just wait and watch. I am determined to find out and reveal the identity of the Eye-Opener by the end of this season."
Kentucky replied, "Ma'am, we hope so."
The Queen walked towards Kentucky and questioned, " Why hope so?"
Kentucky gave an honest reply, "Ma'am, the person (he/she) behind the 'Eye-Opener' is a smart and a strategic person. It will not be an easy task to reveal the identity."
The Queen's confidence was shaken. As she was about to say something, King Henry interrupted.
He said, "Just wait and watch, you are going to lose your monarchy and power soon. Crystal, you will be defeated by the secret writer - the 'Eye-Opener'. Your bad time has already begun now."
An enraged queen fumed with anger, "Get the Hell out! You useless person. Get Out!"
King Henry went to his room, leaving the queen enraged and tensed.
In the Finnegan house, the family members are tensed while they have a cup of hot lemongrass tea.
A frantic and Conscious Erlyn screamed at Carter, "How could you Carter? How could you? Why are you looking down and up? Answer me Carter!"
Carter replied, "I did not intend too. I accidentally slipped due to the oil that was fallen on the ground and pushed him from the stairs. I never wanted to or intend on it to happen".
Marvel Exclaimed, "Your intent does not matter Father, he died."
Ernst joined the Conversation, "Yes Father, you accidentally killed an innocent person. You need to be punished".
Erlyn immediately said, "Though Nate has forgiven you but I can't . My daughter lives with him. So Carter, with a heavy heart I want you to leave this house forever and never return back."
Eza replied, "Mother, What are you saying?"
Marvel, "Mother! No....No....."
Trevor said, "Mother, you can't do this. He is the Lord of this house".
Erlyn replied, "No Trevor, he is not the Lord. I have been handling the household single handedly, not Carter."
Trevor fumed, "Mother!"
Erlyn responded with rage, "Trevor! Just Shut up and get out. If you want, you can leave the house with Carter."
Carter interrupted, "No I will leave alone and forever."
Carter immediately went to his room, packed all his belongings and headed towards the doorstep. Erlyn did not even look at him. She went upstairs to her room, locked the door and cried. She had an emotional burst and had a panic attack.
Meanwhile Trevor stopped Carter and requested, "Dad, please don't leave us". He immediately left and Ernst from behind screamed, "Never return at all."
Carter was heartbroken and he left. Trevor and Eza rebuked Ernst but he further said, "He is not my father anymore. He is a criminal and has created a huge scrutiny for Delta. I shall never forgive him." Ernst left and Daisy replied, "I think Ernst is right, he is an accidental criminal."
Delta and Nate finally reached his cottage at night, which is located in Belfast (city in Ireland).
Delta got down the carriage and asked, "Nate, What's the name of this beautiful cottage?"
Nate replied, "Our Cottage."
Delta said, "Nate, I know it's our cottage. I am simply asking the name of the cottage."
Nate replied, "Mrs. Delta Klen, the name of the cottage is 'Our Cottage'."
Delta laughed, "What? the name, like the actual name is 'Our Cottage' ".
Nate responded, "Yeah."
Delta smirked, "Oh okay. 'Our Cottage' looks splendid especially during the night."
Nate replied, "Yeah, but the beauty of the cottage is nothing in front of my wife. Oh no! The spotlight of the season."
Delta said, "No. Don't call me the spotlight. Address me as your wife, that sounds good."
Both of them entered the Cottage and it was quite warm. It was a subtle and simple cottage having a magnificent interior and decor with dim but provided an emotional and soul comforting environment.
Delta said, "It's such a cozy environment."
Nate replied, "Yeah, but it's also our wedding night as well."
Delta responded, "So what? it's common for every married couple. They kiss, cuddle and sleep. Wedding night is Over."
Nate laughed in disbelief, "Oh my God! Are you serious?
Delta asked, "What happened Nate?"
Nate controlled his laughter and asked her
"Do you know what happens on a wedding night between a husband and a wife?"
Delta replied, " I know, it's kissing."
Nate continued as he moved towards Delta, "Let me ask you directly, do you know what sex means?"
Delta replied, "Yeah, I know. Sex means gender."
Nate laughed in a humorous manner, "No, it does not mean that."
Delta asked, "What does sex mean then?"
Nate replied in an educational manner, "Delta, sex means a Consensual physical relation and interaction between two people. It happens out of love and most important it should happen willingly."
Delta asked, "What does Consensual mean?"
Nate replied, "Consensual means willingness. Both of them have to agree, give consent clearly and should be ready only if they are willing to do it after giving proper and clear consent."
Delta said, "Consent is the most important thing."
Nate responded, "Absolutely, Consent is the primary and main part of everything."
As Nate headed to a different room, Delta stopped him.
She asked, "Are you not going to do it?, I mean the sex."
Nate asked her back, "Do you want to do it?"
Delta replied, "Yes. I would like to try out."
Nate responded, "Delta I understand your eagerness to explore but you have no idea about it."
Delta asked, "Okay, so what do you mean?"
Nate replied, "I meant that I would like to give you some space and some time to understand each other and the whole relationship. Since we were married on the spot. I don't want to make any headway right now". I want you to relax, understand, take you time to adjust and settle in to this new relationship."
An emotional Delta said, "I have heard generally people like to explore such aspects."
Nate replied, "You are right. But I want to give you some time to adjust, settle and mentally prepare yourself. After that depending on your consent and willingness, we can take the next step."
As Nate left, Delta quickly understood that Nate knew that I was nervous about the whole wedding night and as a gentlemen he gave me my space, time and supported me.
Delta expressed her happiness, "I have got the best husband who understands me. I am grateful to the Eye-Opener for saving my life from Richard."
As Delta went to sleep. The regent at the palace received a letter and handed it over to the queen via Kentucky.
As the queen read the letter, she commanded the regent, "Prepare an extra mattress and clean the guest room. We are having an unexpected but an important visitor."
