"Get ou -- " Samael momentarily paused and winced when he tried to move. He gazed at the multiple stab wounds on my body where Lilou injured him, specifically on important vital points. "Goodness! I want to get out of here quietly! Why does he have to raise his voice?" she complained in irritation as her eyes fell on Yulis, sitting down on the wall he crashed into outside their room. "How annoying!" Yulis raised his head, shocked at what happened. The impact hurt him slightly, but the shock of who…

"Careful, love." Samael chuckled, watching her eat quickly as if she had starved. Well, Lilou didn't get to eat properly in the past month, so she actually starved. His eyes softened while she chugged down the glass of water while pounding her chest. "Goodness," he whispered helplessly as soon as Lilou heaved a sigh of relief. "Just eat slowly. No one will take away your food." Lilou licked her lips while raising her head to him. He noticed some sauces on the corner of her lip, so he extended his arm…

Samael could've prevented what was about to happen that night if he listened to his intuition, but he was in denial. He convinced himself that the sense of dread he felt was just a figment of his imagination. That he was simply exhausted mentally and emotionally. Just like what he said, he returned to the room after requesting healthy a meal for Lilou. The news of Lilou waking up spread faster than the speed of sound, making everyone rush to the third prince's palace. "Damn! Why can't we enter?"…

Thinking about Lilou and Law brought Samael back to the past. Those dreadful and dark days led him to be the person he was in the present. "It's been a month, Hell," Beatrice broke the silence in the third prince's chamber, sitting on the divan while staring at Samael, who was on the chair beside the bed where Lilou was at. "Have you thought about what Heliot told you? This kingdom, this empire, needs a person who leads." Samael didn't budge as he kept staring at his wife, arms crossed, with his leg…

Although Adam, Law, Charlotte, and I didn't need to act suspicious to sneak out of the estate, it was fun this way. Also, it would raise questions about why Jaime was being so considerate towards us. The least I wanted now was to be bombarded with questions when I had a plethora of unanswered inquiries. So, we snuck through the garden where Adam had this secret passage he hid in a bush whenever he was sneaking out to meet Law. The one he had created before was sealed, but this young Lord was also sneaky…

The maids returned and brought everything I asked the head maid. She seemed to have recovered a bit, but she didn't look at me in the eye again. She was too scared for that now. I helped Law and Adam wash their faces and change clothes, mainly to distract myself. It helped; these two managed to distract me. After that, Charlotte returned. I thought she was simply watching from afar, but it turned out she helped in the kitchen. It was strange that Charlotte, who would usually sneak away from chores…

Meanwhile, when Lilou and the maids departed the room, Adam turned his head to Law. The latter was still staring at the door as if he wanted to follow his mother, but suppressing this desire for a reason. "Law," called Adam and waited until Law turned his head to him before he spoke. "Your mother is very beautiful." "I know." "But, didn't you say she is sleeping for a long time?" "Mother finally woke up last night," Law explained, keeping it short and simple. "It's my first time meeting…

"The well is a bit far, and everyone in here has too many things to do because of the upcoming festival. If you do not mind, you can fetch for them, Madam." Wow... I thought. 'The audacity of these people, even in front of the guests.' And then realizations struck me. Even though we were the guest of the Earl, the Roux Family we go by had no noble status. These servants probably believed that Jaime Malum let us stay for the night because my son was friends with the Earl. Were they trying to…

Morning came, and I was still sitting on the chair beside the bed. My husband had to go after dawn to attend to some business matters. Sam was reluctant to leave me, but I insisted on staying this time with our son. After negotiating with him, Sam agreed on one condition. That was to keep Charlotte around me. I was certain she was just outside, watching me without taking her eyes off of me. Not that it bothered me because I didn't want to be careless around Law. Although I was never afraid of children,…
-
Sam never left me out of his sight; even when he was interrogating Jaime Malum, I stayed. I had no reason not to, so I listened to their conversation. It was mostly about Jaime's shady connections. Of course, the viscount could only tremble in fear the more my husband spoke. Jaime didn't expect that he had already caught the emperor's eyes a long time ago, and they had been investigating him. So, Sam knew more than Jaime thought. Hence the fear in Jaime's eyes. Still, since the young Earl needed to…
