As we were still discussing, one of Duke Matias’ subordinates came inside from the other door. \"My lord, forgive me for being rude.\" The male subordinate said and bowed. \"I have some important information that you need to know urgently.\" \"What is it?\" Duke Matias seemed irritated with the sudden intrusion of his subordinate but brushed it off. The male subordinate came closer to the duke and whispered to his ear. I see Duke Matias nodding and then looked surprise. He waves to his…-

I followed the staircase down. It was not that far when I reached the end of the staircase and saw a door. I knocked on the door as respect. *knock knock knock* \"Please come in.\" The voice of Duke Matias was heard inside. I opened the door and saw a small room lighted up by a lamp. At the center of the room, were table and three chairs. Duke Matias was seating on one when I saw him and on the other chair was Karolina, Duke Matias’ daughter. \"Greetings your highness.\" Duke Matias and…

\"I can see you like the texture of the velvet sofa.\" A female voice said. I looked up and saw a woman in her early forties came out from the curtained door with the receptionist and another young woman following from behind. \"Oh yes, this cloth is called velvet.\" I remembered. \"It is a pleasure for the princesses of the kingdom to visit my humble shop. My name is Viola, I am happy to be of service.\" Viola curtsied. \"This is Kristina my receptionist and Katarina my assistant.\" Both of…

I was riding a carriage with Satiana and Elizabeth to town. Looking outside, we have more knights guarding us as usual. These were the knights Prince Gladiolus has ordered to guard and assist us on our trip to town. From the beginning of the trip, the inside of the carriage was silent. Being in an enclosed space with both Satiana and I was normal. But now we have Elizabeth with us that made the atmosphere inside a little bit suffocating and awkward. \"This will be the first time big sis Alicia and…

After what happened with Gladiolus, I made sure that I did not go anywhere without a companion. William has been glued by my side ever since then. There were times that we coincidentally bump into Gladiolus in hall ways but so far he didn’t do anything like the last time. ’Oh my! I would have never thought he would do such a thing to you.’ My mother said telepathically. Since Gladiolus arrived in the palace, my mother and I were playing it safe just in case. She maintained her act even when I…

"Elizabeth and I had already signed the marriage contract and there is no need for any ceremony to be held because she is just a concubine of mine." Gladiolus replied. "The one I am marrying is my future queen." Gladiolus looked my way with endearing eyes full of affection. He took my hand and placed a kiss on my knuckles and smiled. "My future queen of course is no other than Alicia." Gladiolus said with a voice full of endearment. "What?!" I abruptly stood up from my chair. "That isn’t…

Gladiolus held strands if my hair on his free hand and smelled it. His gesture sent shivers on my skin, as if many ants were crawling on them. "I missed your smell. I missed the feeling of your skin." Gladiolus said while doing things that sickens me to the core. ’Was he doing such things when I was still asleep?’ I thought. This just sickened me more. "And I missed the feeling of your lips on mine." Gladiolus smiled and pulled his hand away from my mouth. I was about to shout for help when…

We have just come back from our visit in Duke Matias’ estate. The sun was just setting in the horizon when we got off our carriage. "Big sis, I will be retiring for the night." Satiana curtsied and walked away after we have come inside the palace. "The little princess has to carry a huge burden on her small back." Jack murmured to me while looking at the departing Satiana. "I admire her strength." I said while also looking at Satiana departing. "When I was her age, I was still a coward and…

(Regaleon’s POV) We have retreated back to where the naval battle was being fought. By the time when we get there, many of the enemy ships were burning. By the time we were on the river’s shore, I see General Vincent coming towards us. "Your majesty, it is good that you are safe." General Vincent gave me his salute. "What is the status here?" I asked. "As you can see your majesty, we have won this battle." General Vincent said with a smile. "The enemy’s that have laid down their arms are…

"Stop! Your men are falling." Regaleon shouted but the queen acted as if she didn’t hear anything and continued. "Damit!" Regaleon cursed. "Disperse out. Don’t let yourself fall." He ordered. Regaleon looked at the queen that was looking at him with a piercing gaze. ’I need to stop this lunatic and fast.’ Regaleon thought as he was thinking of a way out of this predicament. The queen’s men together with his men are clinging for their lives in the splitting ground. Under them Regaleon…
