"How can I fucking calm down if Grimsbanne... reeks of Lilou's blood?" Samael's pupils constricted as his entire body trembled in anger. The three of them could discern the scent of her blood because her blood had this distinct scent, and they could smell that even from their vantage point. "Even so, we had reached this far, Your Grace. We can't recklessly take unnecessary actions." Rufus held his breath as Samael grabbed him by the collar. "My apologies. I simply didn't want to ruin everything that…

Heliot was truly a strange man... or rather, he was a little selfless. As for why I said such things, I just felt he was that kind of man. After meeting Stefan and Zero, I could tell Heliot's difference with them. I could not help but smile, thinking of how his mind works. If I had met Heliot before Sam, I could say I would like him. He was quite charming in his own ways, like a prince in all those fairytales. "Then, like me more." His eyes grew gentle. "Even if you don't say that, I cannot help…

"What do you think?" I turned to Heliot after Silvia toured us around the Academy. "It is a surprise how you had truly turned Grimsbanne into a metropolis." "As much as I'd like to take the credit, I can't." A chuckle escaped my mouth, shaking my head while we sat on the bench in the open garden of the Academy. "Grimsbanne is already prepared to have these advances even before I became its lord." I smiled, staring at the people walking through the corridor from a distance. Seeing this still gave…

"Duchess, why don't you have some apples? They are very sweet and freshly picked!" One merchant offered me with a bright grin on her face. I smiled, walking towards her stall, and picked one that had a perfect shade of red. "I'll take this then." My smile remained, casting my eyes on the old merchant. "Take this." tossing a coin to her, which she caught out of instinct. "Your Grace, you don't have to -- " "Do you want one, your highness?" I ignored her purposely, diverting my attention to…

"Alphonse... and those bastards from the mainland." Samael squinted his eyes, leaning forward with his arms on his legs, hands linked. For someone who had been into the depths of hell and crawled his way back to earth, Samael had seen it all. So, when he started sniffing around the case of the undead, he couldn't help but look at the bigger picture. What he had uncovered was far more alarming than what he had thought. Stefan was the least of his concerns. If Stefan was the biggest threat, Samael…

"This is why I hate playing their fucking game," Samael grumbled, cracking his fingers as he calmed down slightly. "It's never fun. I should've just piled up their bodies and made a throne out of them with Stefan's head on top of it." Rufus, who sat on the opposite armrest, rested his jaw on his knuckles. "My lord, please don't forget your reasons you had betrayed your people." Rufus calmly spoke, stressing how he was one of those. "Come on! I didn't betray you! I simply left out some details, and I…

"Get your neck in here! I will fucking kill you this time!" Samael's voice rang across the entire desolate estate, making someone in the courtyard take a deep breath. The man's pair of fiery eyes landed on the person inside the pit he had dug himself. "Fabian, choose." Rufus's voice was alarmingly low, eyes glinting mercilessly. "Whose hands do you choose to kill you? Will you want to wait for His Grace or shall I end you now?" Fabian, who was in the hollow, gazed at Rufus. His brother was holding…

My relationship with Heliot was unlike what everyone thought it was. I liked him, but not as a man. I liked his honesty. He was the type of person who disliked going around in circles. Maybe, that's why we got along easily as we didn't need to hide our hidden agendas and met a middle ground. I needed his help for building Grimsbanne and he helped me establish the duchy in a brief span of time. Not just that, but his skills in garnering detailed information were a great help for me. In exchange for…

"This is overkill…" Silvia raised her brows awkwardly, gazing at the horde of maids lined up in front of the mansion with us. "He is a luxurious man, Sivi." I chuckled seeing her reaction. "I told you, you don't have to welcome him with me. You could use this day to rest." "Your Grace, you know the reason I had taken a day off. For you to prepare everyone for an entire week to have such a grand welcome to the prince of Karo, I need to see it myself." "There's nothing to see, Sivi." I shook my…

Another month had passed in a blink of an eye since Zero left Grimsbanne. Like the past eight months, I spent my days repeating the same schedule: working about the state of affairs, granting audience to those who had important business with me, training, and then yearning for Sam during the night. "When was the last time someone caused trouble?" I asked, staring at a document while I sat on the chair behind my desk. "Hmm… a week ago, one of your suitors threatened Your Grace to kill himself if you…
