High up in another realm of a different universe, the skies were a pale yellow with hues of orange mingling with it due to the large setting sun. Under the open sky, a man with godly beauty and an ethereal glow that encompassed his body laid listlessly on a soft cushioned couch. Asmodeus sighed as he looked into the enormous bowl of water placed before him. Looking at the reflection in the mirror, he ran his fingers through the sapphire blue hair that fell loosely over his shoulders. The steel…-

Inside her room, Yvonne sat at her usual spot which was at the cozy seat next to the window. This had become the place she would often sit whenever she had something on her mind. The view of the large trees and the clear pond always soothed her anxious mind. Right now, her mind was trying to comprehend why things had started to stray away from the original plot that she had read. 'It doesn't matter that I am meeting new people who were never mentioned in the story.' She thought of the Tanners…

While Theo was following the black carriage to see where it would lead him, Yvonne was watching her parents as they tried to converse with just their eyes. Rutherford had rushed to welcome his family when they reached home. Carrying his two children in each arm, he brought them to the parlor in a haste and set them down on the couch. He glanced at his wife but found her lost in thoughts therefore he cleared his throat a couple of times to get her attention. Though this did not get her…

Perched on a branch right next to the large window, a tiny white bird sat inconspicuously and eavesdropped on the conversation between a master and his butler. 'Sire asked me to get a report on the Tanners but I did not expect to get so much information without even trying hard enough.' He rubbed his yellow beak on the bark of the tree in his excitement. The information he had obtained was enough to report back to his master, Asmodeus but Theo had stayed back to satisfy his curiosity about what was…

Everyone's attention was directed towards the person who had cleared their throat. "Lady Patrina, Jacob is going to graduate soon. What are his plans for the future?" Marchioness Yona asked as she glanced at Jacob and then at her daughter who was sitting next to him. Jacob Kiron glanced up when he heard his name and looked at his mother and then at Marchioness Yona in confusion. Yvonne silently watched what this rude lady from earlier was trying to imply. Lady Patrina knew what she meant by…

Yvonne and the rest of the children were led to a different part of the estate by the maid. There she found long dining tables enough to seat at least 20 people were arranged at comfortable distances from each other. 'How did they manage to carry them here?' Yvonne was more interested in the logistics part when compared to the other kids who marveled over the beautiful centerpieces placed on them. The women all stood awaiting their children and when they noticed their arrival, they gestured for…

Topher was pleasantly surprised to see Yvonne answer this trick question however, he frowned when he saw the look of disgust that was apparent on her face when she took the Grand Duke's name. Though he felt something amiss, he did not think about it any further and gave her an approving nod. "Yvonne has answered correctly." He declared and then walked towards her. "Congratulations on winning." He smiled as he raised his hand and gently patted her head to which Yvonne responded with a soft…

"Yvonne - 3 and Rika - 2." Damien announced their score and asked Topher to continue with the next question. Yvonne was pissed that she had lost that point so she conveniently blamed it on the stupid prince who couldn't wash his hair properly, making it look murky and dark. "Moving on to the next one. Who owns the territory that is at the southernmost border of Rosenhyde Kingdom?" He asked a basic question about the geography of the kingdom. Rika seemed excited when she heard his question and…

"So the rules are pretty simple." Topher glanced at the two little girls and then continued. "I will ask a few questions about things that you should have already learned from Marquess Samed or by keeping your eyes and ears open about your surroundings." He nodded as though he was happy with the rule he just made. 'Is he just making the rules up as he goes?' Yvonne scoffed at his unprofessional methods but did not interrupt him. "I will judge the answer based on your speed and accuracy. This means…

Sitting on the branch of a massive tree, a few feet away from the children were two beings who shouldn't even be there right now. Asmodeus Del Ovin watched Yvonne's bold move of raising her skirt and almost fell off the branch in his surprise. "Will this child not learn the ways of this world properly? Where does she think she is right now!?" He snarled at her but there was no way that she could have heard his fierce words. This was because even if any humans were to pass by the tree and were to…
