Have you ever felt that fluffy, good feeling where you could see the smile of yours getting wider every passing second? Well, that's how I felt when Killian held my hand and we ate together. Isabella's red and black face was cherry on the top. I wish it had been my palace rather than a royal place. So I could have called the painter to make a huge portrait for the wall. I would have gifted one to Isabella too, to remind her of this moment forever. I didn't even know how the dishes felt as the sweet taste…-

Forget about her, even I had not expected to threaten her publicly, but I was beyond pissed. Her baby, the baby had been on my nerves. She bit her lip and finally moved aside, taking my threat seriously. As I bent in front of Killian who was still standing there, mum. I touched his cheek as he finally looked at me. "Who am I, Killian?" I asked the man in question. I knew it was early for this question, but if today I lost my rights, it would be very challenging to get it back. So I put all my stake on…

"Are you alright brother?" she asked the man standing there. Then she looked at me, "Marianne, this is my brother, Philip Avington. And brother she is the archduchess of the empire Marianne." again she just took my name which was very strange! Should not she use my surname of the name of Cassius to introduce me formally? Maybe that was the way the people in her nation were introduced. I let the matter go, as I wanted to know more about the fight. "It was nice meeting you the royal highness of the…

Before the matter escalates the whispering started, as they all agreed to what I or Katherine had said "Oh dear, these men always behave like they are free to move and we are bound to the home. It's high time that we would also work," spoke Meredith, and many nodded. In this way, everyone soon started discussing it. I took a sip of my aromatic tea. Its taste was wonderful, due to royal tea or because of my first win, the only god knows. I continued nodding my head every now and then when my eyes fell on…

Your majesty, his majesty must be worried about your protection, he never let his sister princess Diana go out too" Monique Elena added. "Duchess Marianne, you must speak words after proper thinking, your words represent the dukedom of our empire." she chided, and that was my chance to shine. "You are right, Monique Elena, Cassius must be trying to protect me too, so to keep me busy, he returned the duchess duty to me. Though I felt bad for lady Isabella, who had to leave the work. I must say she was…

But other nobles do know me, as I was the one who used to help my father in running the business. As I was also getting trained to be his heir. "Oh my, Marianne, are you trying to go to the business line again?" spoke Duchess Baringstone, One of my mother's close friends. "Yes, duchess Baringstone I miss the work I used to do, but I still needed permission. So it is just my wishful thinking for now." I replied with my eyes low. As I chanted 'take the bait to take the bait' and oh my she did not…

I gave an enchanting smile, which stunned even the empress, "I must have been very enchanting to leave such a strong impression on you, your majesty. That you even remembered me at your wedding party." Her face told me she was not expecting this type of answer as she turned silent. "Of course, Marianne," she replied just that. "Thank you, your majesty. Then may I expect to gain your friendship.`` I was sure she would have been shocked twice as her eyes widened. Breaking the facade of the empress was…

The palace complex was entered through the symmetrical Gatehouse flanked by two stair towers. The eastward-pointing gate building was the only structure of the palace whose wall area is fashioned in high-contrast colours; the exterior walls are cased with red bricks, the court fronts with yellow limestone. The roof cornice was surrounded by pinnacles. The upper floor of the Gatehouse is surmounted by a crow-stepped gable. The passage through the Gatehouse, crowned with the royal Bavarian coat of arms,…

"Are the gifts for the empress ready, Lina?" I could not afford to make more mistakes for now. "Yes, your majesty." "Good, if I send a signal, please bring them over." I calmly directed her as I looked down at the dress I was wearing. An extravagant and gorgeous white dress that could not be said to be modest. It has pearls in the middle and emeralds with goldwork, it was a symbol of purity and royalty. My head was adorned with all the possible pieces of jewellery and so was the necklace I was…

Last night I had planned to do a lot of things. But as time went by I didn't even notice. As Killian and I laughed together. He shared all the funny things that happened in the training. But one thing I felt was he was always alone, all the people around him were adults. It had affected him to the point he only knew how to behave like adults. Still, the time I spent with him was memorable. But I did not have the luxury to immerse myself in this pleasure. As I had to prepare for a royal tea party today…
