"I did not expect that you would have the audacity to show up," Marie Lux said the moment she saw Dorothy walk in with her maid and knight. Marie's gaze immediately landed on Dorothy's white dress which looked too similar to hers. "Still acting so mighty and noble. Have you forgotten the fact that you are going to marry your lover very soon?" "What does it have to do to you, Lady Marie?" Dorothy asked. "My marriage had nothing to do with you. Unless of course, you fancied the young Delibar and wanted…

"I could take care of them," Huig uttered, his expression morose. "There is no need to do that now." "They are going to take you. I do not have all the details but I don't want to risk it. His grace asked me to do everything to keep you alive." "And you will," Rosalind replied. "You will keep me alive, but I do not want you to intervene." The man narrowed at her. "Do you understand that a woman who had been taken by men will have her reputation torn to tatters even if she survived?" "Yes, I do."…

"See? I told you Miss Monoroe would— I— I'm sorry, I thought— Did I mishear Miss Monroe?" The smile on Nella's face vanished. "Did you just — " Nella smiled. "Did you just say no?" "Yes, Miss Lux. I am not here to make a dress for Miss Marie. I apologize— " "Miss Monoroe, Marie is going to be— " "Months ago, everyone thought that Miss Dorothy would become the next blessed one. But that did not happen. I believe everyone learned a very hard lesson Ms Nella, please do not let it happen the…

Rosalind stared at the array of different dresses in front of her. She blinked. Then she turned towards the strict-looking lady standing not far away from her. "The dresses— " "His grace wanted the future duchess to dress according to the occasion. The Awakening event is a big matter, not just to the Empire, but to the seven other empires. His grace wanted the best fabric and style for the duchess of the North." The woman wearing a black suit smiled as she approached Rosalind. Then she handed her a…

"She is well?" Dorothy's expression turned ugly. "Then… what about that snake? Are you certain that the — ehem— that the man could do that?" Until now, she still had doubts about that sorcerer. She had never heard of that man before! Perhaps, he was just trying to trick them into giving them money? "Yes," Jeames replied. "I tried to give her flowers but she asked her maid to throw them away even before I could leave the house. I am certain she had the intention to let me see that she disliked the…

Rosalind frowned, not from her aching head, but from what sounded like an argument outside of the house. "I told you, the young miss is not feeling well." "I came to give her flowers." "Then give it to me, I will give it to the miss once she is awake!" "The flowers are— " "Do you understand how inappropriate it is for a knight to give flowers to the future Duchess of the North?" Milith uttered. "Sir Jeames, I am well aware that you grew up with the Miss, but you cannot just ruin the Miss's…

Dorothy tightened her grip on the blanket that covered her naked body. She stared at Jeames who was snoring lightly next to her. They were inside a simple room— Jeames' room. There was nothing but a small cabinet, a chair, and a bed. Not even a table or a balcony decorated the bleak room. Even the toilet was outside of the room. Yet, Dorothy found this strangely peaceful. Dorothy grew up training to become the next blessed one. She woke up at four and started exercising both her mind and her body…

No one knew exactly when Atior started doing his business. In the past, many nobles had heard of his existence but did nothing to stop him because they feared what he would do to them. Atior had quickly developed a large number of loyal subordinates— both noble and normal citizens within the Empire and his power was immense. He was the keeper of t thousands of secrets and thus, many of his previous clients would never hesitate to protect him just to protect their own secrets. "If there is nothing…

There had been a lot of changes since she came back and this was giving her an ominous feeling. Everything had been happening according to her plan yet she knew— something inside her knew— that something ominous was coming. What would it be? Rosalind thought about everything as she laid back down in bed. Staring at the ceiling, she recalled everything that had happened since she woke up and tried to see any loose end that might come and bite her in the back when she was not aware. Sadly, she…

"Lady—" "Shhh— " Dorothy stopped him by placing a finger on his lips. "Jeames, you grew up with me," her brows furrowed, tears threatening to fall. "You know what I have gone through for the sake of the Blessing. You've watched me all throughout my life." "Young Lady—" "Please call me by my name when we are alone. Didn't I already tell you that?" He sighed. "Dorothy, your sister is nothing but a weak woman who—" "Jeames, she schemed against me, how could you call her weak? She is working…
