"Your Highness!" The woman was cheerful and all too unaware of the danger that this call was presenting to the crown prince. His life was in possible danger just because of this one call! "How do I turn this thing off?" Nicholas panicked and was sure that if anyone were to hear Karenina's annoying voice, he was doomed. He was already this close to learning the truth but now it was all ruined! p Nicholas started to run back to the way he came from. *** Sophie smiled at the duke and started to feel her…

Nicholas thought about Duke Romanov's wife and assumed the woman must be not in her right mind. Or she could be just as vile as the dark duke. Like beget like, doesn't it? Only a wicked woman would marry a wicked duke. It was a different story if she was forced into the marriage. He could imagine that this was not something beneath the dark duke, forcing a woman to marry him. Or, she might be a poor woman who needed the duke's money to survive. Being pragmatic was not a sin. Everybody needed money to…

*** Sophie and Leland were drinking and conversing over wine and, in the Alpha's heart, it almost felt like the entire world was just the two of them in this room. He couldn't care about anything else. The only thing that mattered to Leland right now was the fact that the woman in front of him was smiling so beautifully. The chandelier above them could only enhance her beauty with its lights. Sophie was blushing as they talked about idle topics as she gathered the strength to confess. In Leland's…

Nicholas eventually drew close to the castle, outside of Hastings… or at least he did it as best as he could. He instructed his soldiers to stay back and he kept himself light on his feet. For one reason or another, he felt a tingle in his veins. It was as if Nicholas could sense something dangerous in the castle of Duke Romanov. Even in the darkness, the crown prince saw numerous figures stationed at the outer walls of the castle. I The prince didn't speak aloud but he wondered why there were so…

When Nicholas said that name, it made his heart beat a little faster which was strange. He didn't know anyone who was named as such, but somehow, he actually liked that name. "Were those two women actually not crazy… but witches?" Nicholas slowed down a little. His forehead creased and then he shook his head and continued walking to his destination. Among the enemies of the human kingdoms, while lycans were at the forefront of those who came up in the Crown Prince's mind, there were also witches who…

*** Meanwhile, the idea of marriage was ridiculous to the Crown Prince, Nicholas Hannenbergh. All attempts of his mother, Queen Marianne, to make him consider Lady Karenina was a futile dream. It was true that Karenina was kind and beautiful but Nicholas felt no attraction whatsoever. Even though marrying for love was not the norm especially for someone in his position, Nicholas at least wanted someone who could capture his attention and made him smile. Someone who was a delight to be with. As far as…

Sophie's heart nearly leaped out of her chest when she heard his knock. That was Duke Romanov wasn't it? She called out to him and invited him to enter her chambers. "Come in!" Duke Romanov stepped in elegantly as he held onto the bottle of wine. He inclined his head and greeted her with a soft smile. "Good evening, Sophia. Thank you for inviting me tonight." "Thank you for accepting my invitation, my lord," Sophie managed to say. "It is my pleasure." Leland spoke. "Ahh… as it is mine." Sophie smiled…

When dinner was finally finished and both she and Duke Romanov were stuck in contemplation of their own thoughts, she gathered courage and decided to speak up. Sophie cleared her throat and glanced at the duke. "My lord… would you care to join me in my chambers?" Sophie asked nervously. Leland, who was still concerned about the mask comment earlier, suddenly blinked and was quick to nod his head. "Yes, I was actually looking for Luciel and Jan. Normally they would have accompanied you for dinner,…

Sophie was ostracized in Cawden Academy and mistreated in her relatives' house, and even though Leland already punished them for their sins, it didn't exactly take away those years of suffering. She learned how to grow up so fast. Amongst these ever-shifting, ever-deepening emotions that Sophie held in her heart and kept it a secret from others… there was actually one thing that she was keeping at the bottom of her heart. Leland, who had been distracted by the surface emotions that kept popping in her…
-
Leland, who could tell that Sophie's interest was really piqued, couldn't help but feel a bit tempted to suddenly take his mask off. However, unless he was able to fulfill his promise of avenging her parents… the Alpha didn't feel like he deserved to tell her. There were a lot of complications and explanations too. He needed to be strong and hold back the desire to reveal everything. "Ah, thank you. My cooks could prepare a meal, but I'm sure that the boys are more eager to taste your cooking. You…
