Rosalind didn't know if she would laugh or cry when she looked at the Princess struggling as she roasted the snakes. She didn't know if she should pity the woman for trying so hard. She looked at the Duke and, just as she expected; the man wasn't even looking at the Princess. "You should have told me," she said in a low voice. "What?" "The horse," she replied. The fact that the Duke found her was not a coincidence. She was almost certain that it had something to do with his horse. "Ah…" "You…

Princess Isabel paled as she grabbed the attendant's arm for support. They had been walking for hours without resting. Unlike other nobles, the Duke insisted that they walk on foot. Since it was the first time that the Duke talked to her, she immediately got excited and agreed to doing it, despite knowing that she would not be able to walk that far in her heavy dress. Still, she persevered thinking that the Duke would help her out. She was wrong. The Duke must have purposely done something like…

"A coat and a dagger?" Federico snorted when he heard the current news that caused massive waves of assumptions all throughout the nobles. The Duke had disrespected their customs, or at least that was what everyone was thinking. No one would dare voice out what they were truly thinking. Despite the Duke being a guest, none of them wanted to confront him for what he did. "Are you certain about the increase in attacks lately?" Federico asked one of his men. "Yes, your Blessedness." Federico was…

Prospective spouse? Rosalind felt her soul leave her body. What was he talking about? By now, the engagement hadn't been finalized yet! The only ones who knew about them being together that night were the women who accompanied Victoria. Obviously, those women spread the news, but no one even thought about an engagement! She glared at him. What was his purpose? "Prospective spouse?" Prince Lawrence scoffed. "It seems that the Duke is still uninformed about the protocol in the Empire— Miss Lux…

"His Blessedness Martin Lux and His Blessedness Federico Lux!" When everyone heard Martin's name, they immediately bowed, even the Emperor was forced to get off his throne and gave a shallow bow towards a Blessed one. These days, the royal protocol wasn't as strict as in the past. If this was in the past, the ones who didn't give the Blessed ones a low bow should be punished. Their status was just different from the Royals. All of the Blessed ones fought against the Dark Lord who threatened to…

"The rumors were not very helpful," Countess Helen Stacey gave the other ladies next to her a knowing look. "The sudden order of the Emperor to make the Young Miss of the Lux Family the partner of the Prince at the hunt does not make sense. Why would the Emperor do such a thing?" She then looked at the woman wearing a pink dress. "What do you think Lady Marie?" the countess asked. The Madam of the Lux Family told everyone that she was going to bring both Marie and Rosalind to the hunt. However, it…

"Why would the Emperor suddenly make her the partner of the Prince?" Victoria asked as she poured her husband a cup of tea. Martin didn't respond, he continued reading the documents that needed his signature. "I heard that Princess Isabel wanted to become the Duke's partner this time. Do you think that is going to harm the relationship that we have with the Northerners?" she continued asking. She wanted to know all the information so that she could plan her future moves. Right now, Victoria's…

"Glory to the people! Emperor Nicholaus Goosebourne announced the upcoming changes to the hunting event. From here onwards, all men must have a female partner while hunting. The partners will be chosen by the Emperor himself. Kiss the ground," the man ordered. Almost immediately, everyone listening except for Martin Lux who had just arrived, lowered their heads to the ground. "The Emperor of the most prosperous Empire, the descendant of the slayer of the sea beast Utimbre, the head, and sun of the…

"Are you threatening me?" she asked. Was he trying to threaten her into taking their deal seriously? Or was it a warning? He reached out and touched a piece of her hair. "Are you threatened?" he asked. "No." "Wonderful. Then I am going to expect that you communicate what you want from now on. Are we in agreement?" "Are you even giving me a choice?" she fired back, meeting his eyes. Now that he was close, she realized how tall he was. Despite wearing a little bit of heel on her shoe, her head just…

"A child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth. Seeing it transpired in front of me is quite... delightful," Duke Lucas answered as he looked at her. She turned her head away and found a seat opposite him. "I was reckless," she agreed. "You were. But there is no need to think about the past, is there?" She stared at him. In fact, she had every reason to think about the past. But she was not going to tell him that. "Did you come here to tell me that?" she asked.…
