When Abel reached the balcony, his expression was something no one had seen before. Anger. Even though he was an infamous tyrant, no one had truly seen Abel get angry. He would get annoyed, but not to the extent he would get angry. But Joaquin… this man pressed his bottom line just by existing. "Stop whining." Abel tossed Joaquin against the railing, not giving him a chance as he raised his wounded palm to the latter's lips. "Drink. I can't let you die tonight." Despite resisting Abel, he was strong…

Abel wasn't crazy. He does crazy things, but he knew he was sane — whatever sane even meant. However, for the past several days, he believed he had a glimpse of the line between sane and sanity. It was very clear. Over that line was just a vast, empty expanse. If Abel didn't see Aries or hear even her breath for one more day, he was certain he would go beyond the line of insanity and search for her over there. Funny that her absence was something he could bear for several days only. More than that?…

One of the things Aries learned in Haimirich was designing dresses. It was a skill that wasn't really her intention to learn. The situation forced her to because her lover, the emperor of the empire, was too picky in choosing her dresses. Heavens knows how all the renowned seamstresses were summoned under the royal decree just to make multiple custom dresses for Aries. What made it hard for them to know what would suit Aries was that they didn't get to see her face for the confidentiality of the emperor…

Days had passed and Aries quickly got used to the life as the crown princess. She had worked hard before her wedding. Not to mention, she used to attend the court matters in the Haimirich with Abel, and Conan himself trained her. Therefore, the matters she was handling were nothing. It was more like handling the easiest task back in Rikhill. "Hmm…" Aries hummed as she read the document on the desk. "Your Highness, would you want to take a break and enjoy a cup of tea?" she arched a brow and gazed at…

"Ugh..." Dexter grunted at the striking pain that struck his head even before he could open his eyes. He held his head to keep it still from the constant bounce of his body. "Good evening." He popped his eyes open as soon as he heard a familiar voice. He wasn't dreaming when he heard Abel's voice as his eyes landed on this demon in human skin sitting across from him inside the carriage. Dexter winced and massaged his temple, glancing to his left, only to see Conan looking back at him blankly. A shallow…

Days later... It was true that a wise and compassionate king with his warm heart influenced his people to govern the fallen Rikhill with mercy. However, that didn't mean people born with insatiable greed didn't exist even in such a place. One of the downfalls of the kingdom of green was that those people with little power connived with the crown prince of the Maganti Empire. They sold their land, their people's lives, and everything just for power and a little bit of wealth. Tragic how evil seemed to…

"So, you also like gardens?" Aries inquired as she peeled her eyes away from the garden to Ismael, who stayed sitting across from her in the pavilion. Ismael was leaning back leisurely, eyes on the flowers, oddly been silent. "Not quite." He cast her an indifferent side-eye. "There are plenty of other things to look at — prettier ones at that." Her lips parted, but she ended up pursing her lips and peeled her eyes away from him to the flowers nearby. She kept quiet, sensing his gaze on her side, which…

Aries was questioned by the guards when she departed the sitting room, but who would stop the crown princess? She just wanted to take a stroll in the garden, so no one could stop her with that excuse. It could cost them their lives, after all. 'How amusing.' She took a deep breath, standing in the middle of the garden with her eyes closed. 'No matter how deep I draw a breath, I feel a little breathless.' She opened her eyes ever so slowly, smiling beautifully, as if her mind was filled with flowers and…

As promised, Aries prepared for the day to enter the inner palace where the magic in the empire happened. This was not the first time she stepped foot in this place. But unlike in the past where she had to stay inside an empty room for Joaquin to use her to de-stress, she was now being toured by Joaquin's aide, Hernan. Still, Aries eagerly looked around while Hernan showed her different departments and offices. Something that the crown princess would need to know. This should be an activity for her first…

"Conan!" Abel tapped his fingers against the surface of his desk impatiently, watching the door fly open. But instead of Conan, it was Isaiah, who was by the door, strutting his way in as if he owned the place. "Where is Conan??" asked the impatient Abel, frowning at seeing how calm Isaiah was. The latter perched on the settee leisurely, shooting Abel a casual look. "He said he is busy. He molded a cork to fit his ears to deafen himself." "Hah… is he stalling time? How competitive!" Abel scoffed in…
