Throughout the luncheon, Aries kept her act together and didn't show the slightest hint that Curtis troubled her. This was the life of the Imperials. They would trample other people and they would still have an appetite to enjoy a lavish meal. Sitting inside the sitting room where she was resting after parting with Joaquin, Aries kept her eyes on Curtis, who was kneeling in front of her. She hadn't spoken a word the second she reached this room and simply stared at Curtis, who was scratching his…

The matters in the east ninth district were just an excuse to invite Inez over. The real purpose of the invitation was to cause inner turmoil in the ninth princess. Until now, Aries was certain Inez hadn't trusted her, but at the same time, their time together was enough to stop Inez from scheming behind her that could endanger Aries's life. Aries chuckled as she held the pen, sitting behind the desk with the thought. Inez didn't stay too long, but her expression when she left Aries was too obvious. The…

"Your Highness!" Gertrude exclaimed as soon as she came closer to Aries, who was left sitting in the middle of the bed. Her eyes shook at the handprint around her neck, lips quivering as she hesitatingly sat on the edge of the mattress. Aries was staring into nothingness, blinking ever so tenderly. "Gertrude," she called, shifting her eyes to Gertrude only to see the latter's worried face. "Prepare me a dress that isn't too reserved. Just enough for someone to notice these marks." "Your…

Meanwhile… The hallway was empty, waltzing through it was none other than the emperor of Haimirich. With his hands interlaced behind, he carried himself as though he was simply roaming the imperial palace of Haimirich when, in fact, he was in a different place. He was an intruder, to be precise. After bathing with Aries and imparting his wisdom as a connoisseur of sins, he casually left through the other exit. So far, he hadn't met with anyone despite that the Sapphire palace and the other building…

"What an energy early in the morning." "You…" Joaquin snapped his dilated eyes at her, studying her strange expression. But Aries simply tilted her head to the side, batting her eyes ever so tenderly. "Yes?" His mouth opened and closed as he looked around, setting his eyes on the spot where he watched the blood on the floor when he tried to slay the assassin last night. There was nothing. Not even a trace of blood, and then at the balcony. Joaquin didn't think twice about jumping out of the bed,…

All the things Abel said had a point. It didn't necessarily mean he was right, but he had a point, for he spoke as someone who ruled a nation. In his life, he had always made a choice; choices that were a bitter pill to swallow. Would it be him and the people of Haimirich? Or another? In this world where conquering lands, plundering other territories' resources, and considering lives as mere casualties, those options were inevitable. One could argue that peace was also an option. It was… but at the…

"You didn't go back to Haimirich." Aries instigated, sitting on the other end of the tub with her arms crossed, eyes at the man on the other end of the tub. Abel had his arms spread over the rim, brows raised. "I did." "No, you planned to," she corrected in what she believed was what he truly meant. "You can't go back and forth from Maganti to Haimirich in such a short time." Abel let out a shallow breath and shrugged. "I flew." "Flew?" "Yes." p He gasped in utter disbelief with his nose scrunched…

"How reckless." Abel caressed Aries's spine with his fingertips, using his arm as his head cushion while she slept on his chest. He glanced at her for a second before setting his eyes back on the ceiling. "I wonder if she thinks she was dreaming, or she simply didn't care anymore." A frown resurfaced on his face at the thought. They had rounds of passion before dawn approached. Abel's stamina for her was bottomless, so he couldn't really sleep despite the exhausting exercise. But Aries just fell asleep…
-
Aries moaned as she felt Abel's familiar touches caressing her body, eyes closed. She chuckled faintly as his breath tickled her ears, only to pop her eyes open when a strong bite on her shoulder woke her from her dreams. "Shh." She held her breath, gazing at the pair of crimson eyes hovering over her with his palm over her mouth. Her brain buffered, blinking, trying to process what was going on. "Your husband might wake up," Abel whispered in her ear, biting the tip of it gently. "I missed you,…

When Abel said he would resurrect Joaquin from the dead just to kill him, he meant it literally. Death… was far too easy for an ending for someone like Joaquin. Abel wasn't trying to wash his hands clean. He had done worse than what Joaquin could commit in his entire life. The only difference between Abel and Joaquin was that the former never denied everything he had done to anyone. Those who held grudges against him… he knew all of them and had given them all a chance to exact their…
