Aries and Abel continued to stroll the capital. They didn't dwell on the topics they already talked about because she thought he wasn't being serious. Hence, they diverted their attention by checking out the stalls. "Wow..." she awed while looking around. Abel might be a tyrant who ruled with an iron fist. However, one thing that Aries couldn't deny was he was a great emperor. The capital was a metropolis that only a prosperous country would look like. Moreover, the people around were full of smiles, as…

Princess Aries Aime Heathcliffe. Beautiful, smart, and humble. A well-loved princess with a humble personality. She was someone who was often involved in charity works, involved in politics, and also handled high society well. She was a little bit of everything. The favorite princess. Ironically, that wasn't the reason many loved Aries. The real reason she was quite famous was that she had broken boundaries between aristocracy and common people. She fought alongside the powerless, became their voice, and…

"Aries." Aries turned her head, only to jump back with the horrendous mask in front of her. She patted her chest, gritting her teeth when Abel slid the mask to the side and smirked evilly. "Goodness..." she clutched her hand, suppressing the urge to smack him just once. "... you'd be the death of me," she blurted out. "That's fine with me." He laughed, checking the horrendous mask in his hand. "It's not a bad one. We should get two. One for me and you. We'll scare the living hell out of Conan. What do…

"You know it's not my idea," Aries mumbled, sitting in front of Abel on the steed. They weren't moving fast as they just left the imperial palace. "Well, darling. It's not my fault that you keep on falling in Conan's scheme." The side of his lips stretched into a devious grin, gazing down at her. "And because of that, I have a reason to skip my work and spend it with you. It's a win for me." Aries wasn't even concealing her lack of enthusiasm for this date. Why would she? Abel never failed to find new…

Aries bore a blank expression, lost for words at her current situation. She blinked, looking back at the people around the same table as her. 'Please don't look at me that way. You all know I am innocent,' she wept internally, sensing everyone's discomfort inside this room where noblemen with an official role in the palace gathered. She had already heard ridiculous rumors when she started accompanying Abel to his important affairs. But... Abel took this to another level. Aries let out a shallow breath…

"Silence... so priceless." Aries breathed out, leaning back against the tub as the warm water embraced her body. She tilted her head back until her eyes were staring at the high ceiling. 'He really went all out today. Every second feels like I am dealing with another person.' Her expression turned grim while revisiting her day with Abel. 'He never fails to find ways to stress me out.' "How stubborn..." Her smile faded as soon as she realize she was giggling. "... what am I doing?" Although Abel…

Abel took Aries to the pavilion in the inner garden. He pulled her to his side as she thoughtlessly approached the chair. "Huh?" she gazed at him as her shoulder bumped against him. "Is there a... problem?" His eyelashes fluttered ever so slowly, casting her a side-eye. "There is only one chair." "One chair...?" Aries furrowed her brows, counting the chairs placed on the opposite side of the round marble table. Even though it was obvious there were two chairs, Aries counted multiple times just in case…

Another soft gust of wind blew past Aries. She fixated her eyes on Abel as he drew his head back, smirking dangerously at her. Was he the devil? She wondered. The darkness in his eyes felt like drawing her in, hypnotizing her into a deadly trap. 'That is... unnecessarily warm.' She clenched her teeth secretly, reminding herself his action wasn't something she should dwell on. 'This is Abel, Aries. Do not forget everything is games for him. He's bad for your heart.' "Ha ha... so cute," came out a dark…

Aries gazed at Conan for help after Abel's invitation. But even when the latter complained, the two of them were powerless. In the end, Aries still joined Abel on the training ground and stood right in front of him. "Yes?" she raised her brows, blinking cluelessly. All sorts of ideas already filled her head. Why did he ask her to come down here? Would he ask her to replace the straw target and act as one? Or maybe, just be his assistant to fetch him some arrows? The more Abel stayed silent, the more…

"... If you succeeded, please tell me the secret." Aries frowned while his smirk stretched. They both turned their heads in the door when a knock reach their ear and it opened slowly. Conan peeked his head in, smiling awkwardly. "Marquess, you're still here?" he inquired as he went inside while Dexter peeled his leg over his other leg before he stood up. "You're a bit early, Sir Conan. But I am also on my way out." Dexter explained formally, placing his chair to how it was before he got in here. When he…
