Zero didn't stay idle in Grimsbanne and left even though he had a long, arduous journey here. It was expected because staying longer just to humor me wouldn't benefit him at all. He wasn't a fool. I might've rattled him, but Zero was someone who would get back on his feet like an undead. "The undead… that is his cards." My eyes sharpened, caressing a rose petal in the garden. "I heard some neighboring kingdoms agreed to be absorbed by the Great Heart empire. How smooth." "Zero and his allied…

Just like the past seven months, my night was cold and silent. Everyone was used to my habitual late returns, and I would hate it if they had to wait for me. Hence, I just went home with no one nagging me and went to bed after changing. "Two hundred and sixteen nights, Sam," I whispered, raising the cross earring over me. "I've been spending the night alone for that long now." My eyes softened at the necklace I always kept with me. "And it still hurts." Actually, I yearned for him even more now.…

The story of how this team was formed wasn't a long story. When Sam died, these people knew Stefan wouldn't let them off that easily. Although they considered that Stefan wouldn't kill me just yet, they had to flee so they could do what they should to help me out of the palace. However, since I had an agreement with Stefan days later and Sam was proclaimed as a hero who lost his life on duty, things had made an enormous turn. Not just that, but also taking Silvia, Klaus, and Yul with me was not what…

As ordered, Yul prepared my steed for me while I changed into a more comfortable outfit. I would leave Zero behind, but that didn't worry me in the slightest. He wouldn't recklessly touch my people while I was away. "Stay safe, Your Grace." Yul bowed, his palm across his chest as I mounted Bella, I smiled at him, holding the reins. "Don't stay up late, Yul." "You're telling a vampire that?" "Oh, please, when do you resign to bed?" I humored as Yul seemed he doesn't sleep at all. He was up in…

I smiled until my eyes were squinting, loving every second I could see the anger in his eyes. It was a surprise to me as well upon discovering this knowledge. Tristan, Zero's chief shadow guard, was his son. No wonder a person like Zero, who wouldn't even trust anyone to make him tea, trusted Tristan. "It was a wrong assumption to think you are heartless, Your Majesty." My response caused him to grip my shoulder tighter, but I ignored it. "Because if you are, you wouldn't keep the bastard you had with a…

"And here I was wondering what had taken you so long, my duchess!" Zero exclaimed as soon as I entered the drawing room. "Turns out you dressed up! I might assume you did all this for me!" "You don't have to assume, Your Majesty." I smiled, tilting my head a little before taking the chair across from him. "I dressed up for your eyes to see." "Goodness, are you seducing me?" "Well, if I can charm you, why not?" I raised a brow, smirking coquettishly. "You are not a bad partner, after all." Zero…

Yul squinted his eyes into slits as he welcomed us by the door. He knew that Zero would come, but he probably didn't expect to see him tonight. "Welcome to our humble estate, Your Majesty," He greeted formally, bowing before facing us squarely. "Forgive us if we are welcoming you in such a poor state. We aren't aware." "Haha. Oh, ninth prince." Zero chuckled, planting his hand on his hip. "You are too formal, unlike the rest I had met so far. But, do not worry. It's my fault that the messenger I sent…

— WELCOME TO VOLUME 5 — PROLOGUE It had been seven months since we returned to Grimsbanne. There were a lot of adjustments at first, keeping everyone in the duchy busy for the first four months. But now, everything had settled down — even I got used to my duties as the Duchess. I dipped my body in the cold lake I had discovered in one of my morning runs. The water was cold, especially now that it was nighttime, but I liked the view and quietness in here. I gazed up to see the moon shining…

Strange, wasn't it? We left Whistlebird with a full stomach, but the emptiness inside me remained unfulfilled. We camped on the road that night and then continued our arduous journey before the crack of the day. Just like in the past days, we traveled in silence. Yul would constantly talk to me, but I barely replied with a hum. "We're almost there, Your Grace." Yul broke his silence once again after a half-day of quietness. "I can see that," I replied, staring outside where I could see the borders of…

Since the restaurant was packed. I assumed there wouldn't be enough space for us, and I was correct. Surprising, the people inside were kind enough to spare us some tables and space. I told them we could eat outside just like the rest, but the townsfolk insisted for us to stay inside where it was warm. Why, you ask? Why was this kindness suddenly? I smiled and gazed down, staring at my hand on the table. The reason was simple; everyone in here saw my husband as their hero. If not for him, the…
