The dinner went well and somehow, Abel and Dexter didn't argue… that much. They still attempted to throw shade at each other, until Aries scolded them, Abel, to respect her brother and Dexter to show some decency towards her lover. Both men could only frown until the dinner ended. Dexter didn't stay long after that since Gustav came to tell him about something important. Meanwhile, Abel stayed because, apparently, no one aside from Gustav and Dexter knew about Abel. In other words, Aries, who panicked…

"Gertrude will assist Dani here so she can have someone she can trust." Aries raised her head, revealing the shock that was plastered across her face after Dexter's remark. They had been mostly eating in silence with Aries talking to Dexter and Abel from time to time, giving them equal attention so they wouldn't have time pressing on each other's nerves. "I already requested it of Sir Conan. Gertrude will act as Daniella's nanny. No one will question it." Dexter cast Abel a quick look before shifting his…

"If I am a woman, even I will fall in love with me." Abel flashed Aries a smug grin, shrugging in arrogance while he brushed her hair. Aries sent Minerva out because she didn't want Abel to be found out. She only realized how ridiculous her actions were until Abel pointed it out. "I will dye my hair," she breathed out, eyes on his reflection in the vanity mirror. "I can't have green hair while my brother has golden ones. We already don't look alike, so a little similarity is a must." "But I like your…

"My lady...?" Minerva furrowed her brows as soon as she entered Aries's room. The latter's face was red, as if out of breath. Her hair was also a little disheveled, just like the creases on the bed. Before Minerva came in, she had to wait for a minute because Aries told her not to enter. "Mhmm?" Aries raised her brows, clearing her throat as she flashed her a smile. "Uh... I've prepared the clothes you asked for, my lady. Would you like to... are you alright?" asked Minerva, noticing the sweat on her…

"You're angry?" Aries frowned as she bat her eyes innocently to gain his sympathy but to no avail. Abel simply tilted his head, standing in the same spot, hands on his hips. "Darling, you can't hurt yourself, even for whatever reason. I can only hurt you because you live for me. Whether you bleed or die, you needed my permission for that." He raised his brows, sporting a knowing expression, rendering her speechless. "Now, why don't you receive your guest properly? Can't leave the bed?" Her frown grew…

"I'm simply doing this because she'll be bored staying in her room for days." Dexter gazed coldly at Abel sitting opposite him in the marquess' carriage. He had known even before heading to the imperial palace Abel wanted to hitch on the marquess ride home. Abel could simply fly, though, but he had to wait for the night to fall so no one would notice him. "Alright, whatever you say, darling." Abel shrugged playfully, slipping his finger to peek through the curtain. "I'm just amazed that you fell for her.…

"Your Majesty! When will you send proper official letters to your people?!" Just like any normal day in the imperial palace, Conan's voice thundered across the emperor's office. Moments ago, Abel used one of the official emperor's couriers to send a letter to the House of Vandran. Everyone in the empire knew that when they saw a huge hawk flying, it was from the emperor. "Should I write the Marquess a poem, then?" asked Abel whilst tilting his head, hand holding a pen as he was finishing his work so he…

"I'm not Daniella. I'm not trying to be her. What I'm doing is something... I wished I had done to my brother." Dexter didn't speak after Aries's remarks as the physician also arrived shortly after. But even with the physician taking charge, Dexter remained inside her room and watched him do a quick check-up. Fortunately, Aries simply sprained her ankle, but no major injury had happened. The physician prescribed her an ointment and told her not to move around too much so she could recover…

Time seemed to stop for Aries as she reached her hand out, only to clasp the air. The tree wasn't that tall for Aries to die from the fall, but it could hurt and break a few of her bones. But that didn't scare her. Amidst falling, her eyes dilated from shock. Somehow, this unprecedented fall made her recall the taste of falling from grace. Just like this one, she was simply falling, sinking deeper to meet with the ground. 'No,' was what came into her mind before time started clicking at its normal…

"My lady, please get down there! It's dangerous!" "My lady, please be careful!" "The Marquess would be worried, my lady! Please get down!" Aries gazed down at the servants below the tree she climbed up moments ago like a monkey. It had been a week since she last saw Dexter. He didn't come to her to appease his sister, which Aries already expected. Thus, she didn't have any option but to get his attention in another way. "Don't worry! I won't fall!" she yelled, grinning from ear to ear as she looked up.…
