Rosalind jolted up, panic apparent on her face. She looked around and quickly realized she was not inside her room. Then the headache started. She held her head, massaging her temples as she squeezed her eyes shut. She recalled the last moments before she lost consciousness. Her conversation with the Duke ended with her flustered and a little upset. In the end, she wasn't able to get the result that she wanted. The man insisted that she was his person. She took the wine and drank it without realizing…

**BANG** The large door leading towards the Emperor's study slammed shut just as Federico walked inside. He looked at the Emperor who was fuming then towards the Duke who was calmly sitting on a chair. "You did it on purpose!" the Emperor said. "Your Majesty—" "I know what you lot do!" the Emperor pointed at the Duke. "You think that everyone else is weaker than you! You think too highly of yourself!" "Your Majesty, what would your people say if they could see this side of you?" Duke Lucas…

"Since coming back, the Prince has been different," Emperor Nicholaus sat down. He just arrived from the palace to close the hunting event. "Were you able to find out what happened to those people?" "I did not anticipate that the Duke would find out about the plan," Federico said. As always he had a calm expression on his face, but he could no longer hide the anger in his voice. "It was my mistake." "Your Blessedness, the only one who made a mistake was the Duke," Emperor Nicholaus comforted. "The…

"The Prince has arrived!" the Herald announced in the middle of the tension. Rosalind immediately smiled at the sight of a confused-looking Prince. The soon-to-be crown prince woke up with no signs of injury. Rosalind was certain about that as she had arranged it. Moreover, the man had woken up alone, without attendants or any bodies of the dead assassins around. His confusion soon turned into fright as he realized that what he saw the other night might just be inside his head. But this changed when he…

"The Duke and Lady Rosalind have arrived!" The Herald announced when Duke Lucas and Rosalind stepped out of the portal and into the gardens of the palace where everyone was waiting. The hunting event was done, and while there were people who returned wounded, no one's life was taken. "Lady Rosalind, what about the Prince?" A man wearing the same clothing as the prince approached her and the Duke. It was the second Prince, Piers Goosebourne and standing next to him was the third prince Giles…

"He is infected," the Duke said as Rosalind approached them. The fighting had ceased and the bodies of humans and some monsters were all over the ground. The smell of death surrounded them. She stared at the Prince and immediately notice the black blood. "That is not from any wound," she stated. "You are right. It's from an old one. I believe that the dark curse had infected the crown prince a long time ago. It is either the crown is purposely hiding it or they are not aware of it," the Duke…

"Take her back," the Duke instructed the two other attendants. "Lady Rosalind and I will continue the hunt." The Duke was using a handkerchief to wipe the black blood off of his sword. "The Princess needed a healer, her blood had turned black," Rosalind added. "I have performed some basic treatments on her wound but it is not sufficient. You must hurry." The two attendants who didn't actually see the fight earlier nodded their heads as one of them lifted the Princess. "Take half of the snake and…

Sadly for Rosalind, the Princess was way faster than her. Princess Isabel found where the Duke and the Snake were fighting and didn't hesitate to join the already chaotic scene. Trees were strewn all over the place, shallow cracks could be seen on the ground and a large boulder could be seen nearby. Rosalind stopped herself from thinking about the origins of the rock, knowing that this place was known for its mud and not the rocks. Instead, she focused on the Princess. Rosalind gritted her teeth.…

Rosalind bit her lower lip as she turned her head away. The sound of the night breached her senses. There was… nothing else in there. Or at least that's what her senses were telling her. She frowned and looked at the Duke. She was still frozen in his lap, as still as a statue. "What—" "Shhh…" the Duke silenced her. Again, she looked around, her heartbeat racing. What is going on? She couldn't hear anything, yet the Duke seemed so certain that there was something else is there! Again, she…

Since the Duke met with Rosalind, the two had been hunting various animals as they continued to go deeper into the forest. Rosalind had already seen two other animals with red eyes, but she wasn't able to catch them as they were too fast and there were other people around. Yes, the Princess chose to follow them. Rosalind knew that the woman was suffering, not just from the cold, but from the mosquitoes and other insects that had started to make their presence known. It had become darker and the…
