A formal proposal. A formal proposal is something very common in most noble families. It was a festive event where the groom would take his parents to the house of the potential bride to formally propose marriage in front of their peers. Before this, the groom would send a bride price to the bride's family. The bride's family could accept the gift but still refuse the proposal. If this happened, the groom would have no choice but to go home with his family. To avoid this, it was advised that the…

"You can stop pretending that you are still sleeping…" a cold voice said, breaking through the deafening silence. Rosalind immediately opened her eyes and smiled at the white-haired man who had just calmly killed the two people that Dorothy asked to watch her as she slept. Even now, Rosalind did not know what Dorothy's real intentions were. Dorothy had to leave as she decided she needed to join the banquet with the Duke and the other members of the Lux Family. So she left her there in the room,…

"Miss, please follow me," Dorothy's new maid said the moment Rosalind left the mansion. Rosalind was informed that the Duke would arrive tonight to talk to Martin, Victoria, and Federico so she would have to go home and prepare for everything. The Duke would talk about their marriage and the customs of the North and the Lux Family would tell the Duke what they wanted for this wedding. Normally, having two weddings was normal for something like this. First, the bride would have a wedding in the empire…

Rosalind's eyes narrowed at the man with white hair who was trying his best to avoid her gaze. He was tall and lean, his face leaning towards being pretty than being called handsome. "Whatever happen to him?" she asked. The man looked angry and she could guess that the Duke might have beaten him to submission but there were no bruises on his face. "I do not want to keep someone that might kill me if I close my eyes. I tend to value my sleep very much," she said. "He will not touch you again." "You…

Rosalind's face turned ugly when she realized that she could recognize the person behind the mask. It was the Duke! Duke Lucas! Why would he come here? She immediately lowered her gaze. She was almost certain that the man could recognize her just from one glance. Until now, she wasn't quite sure how he was able to recognize her, but then again, there were more pressing matters to address. How was he able to come here and just barge into the room as if he owned the place? This did not make any…

"Yes!" Mathies said. "I am certain of it. I have studied dark curses in the past and this is one of the reasons why Sire Joren brought me here. I lost my sister to the same curse and I have been looking for ways to relieve others' pain." He got up and bowed at Joren Montgomery. "When I was in the south, I thought about the possibility that we could suck the curse out of the body by switching the blood. You see… the curse runs in the blood. If we changed the blood inside a person's body, there might be…

Rosalind had heard of the leader of the fearsome Primal Fang, Joren Montgomery. The man was a legend in her past life. He was the sole leader of the Primal Fangs and singlehandedly made it into a famous mercenary group. There were stories about his past and one of them was the fact that he was someone from one of the Empires down south. He used to be a soldier then he started working as a mercenary that would guard merchants who wanted to travel to the dangerous areas in the continent, such as the North…

"Take care of her? Young Miss, I don't —" "I know you like my sister," Rosalind gave a gentle smile. "Did she—" Rosalind shook her head, the same smile plastered on her face. "She has not mentioned anything but I can see it in her eyes, Sir Jeames. I know my sister likes you too." "You—" "So, please— take care of her," Rosalind said. "And I really would appreciate it if you did not tell anyone about this conversation. I do not want to explain how you got inside my house," Rosalind added.…

"Why did you do it?" Jeames hissed as he took a step towards her. In return, she took a step backward."Dorothy has been nothing but nice to you since you came back. She respected you and loved you and yet you dared scheme to make her miserable!?" "Sir Jeames, I don't know what you are talking about," Rosalind said, she eyed his hand on the hilt of his sword. She immediately thought of using her mist to subdue him but she did not want to reveal anything to him. "You— How dare you act like you do not…
