"Mhm. I saw his head... served to you on a silver platter." His words were akin to a loud drum buzzing in my ear. What did he say? I had to repeat his words, uttered with nonchalance in my head to make sense out of it. "It was just a vague foresight of the future, but that's what I saw," He continued while leaning back, studying my expression. "Do you think I will believe that?" I scoffed under my breath as my eyes sharpened at him. "Up to you." He shrugged nonchalantly. "Killing Hell is a…

"Say… shall we have an affair?" My eyes slowly grew wide as my mind stopped functioning for a second. His words just killed half of my brain cells. Stefan really lost it, did he? "I never liked sharing, but having some is better than having none." "!!!" Did he leave his brain somewhere? Or was this just the alcohol? Either way, his words still stung my heart. 'Why, now?' my mind asked in disbelief. "I asked you before, if I met you first, loved you first, cherished you first… and chose…

In the middle of the night, I opened my eyes, only to see it was still dark. My throat felt parched and I dragged myself to sit up straight, looking around at the dim room. 'Sam didn't return tonight again.' I thought as I rubbed my eyes. I checked the side table, but a glass of water wasn't there. Lena hadn't been here, and I dismissed Mildred immediately earlier. A deep sigh slipped past my lips as my urge to drink water increased. 'I'll just grab one, then.' I told myself, flinging my legs out…

"On the first day of the founding week, I will fill the seat of the Bloodfang that had been empty for many years," I said as I assisted myself up. "Until then, I don't want a word about this engagement or this blood contract." I walked away as I had said my piece, but stopped after taking a few steps upon hearing his remarks. "My Duchess, I already forgot how long has it been since someone dared ordered me around. However, the palace seemed to have nurtured people who had this habit." My lips…

Once again, I snuck out of the palace, letting no one know about it aside from Mildred. From Zero's letter, he would meet me in that underground meeting room where we first met. Since it was just the two of us, I came prepared. 'I'll just kill him if he pulls off something funny,' I told myself as I raised my hand, about to knock on the door. However, before I could, the door creaked open from the inside. My eyes slowly raised and caught the playful smirk on his lips. "That's unexpected, but thank…

Ever since that day, I now found myself counting down the days before the founding celebration. It was now five days until the start of the festival. For the past days, Sam had been very busy, and I knew the reason, and like usual, I did my duties and just repeated everything in a blur. "The palace had been rather calm despite that the delegations from other countries had arrived," Yul said while he walked me back to my quarters. "I heard the princess of the Cross Kingdom had been spending too much time…

Right after our talk, we didn't mention it as we resigned to bed. Mildred also returned, but only to announce she did and said nothing further with Sam around. "Sam?" I rolled to my side of the bed, staring at Sam, who was also lying on his side with his knuckles propped on his temples, facing me. "Hmm?" "Which place are you planning to take me to first?" My voice was low, but it was enough for his ears to hear. Sam pondered for a moment. "In the eastern continent, maybe? People in the west…

"Let's… run away." My eyes widened as my mind buzzed momentarily. Did I hear what I just heard? Sam? Was he asking me to run away with him? My heart throbbed loudly against my chest as my entire body froze. I did hear him say that. "Back then, I didn't understand the reason Dyrroth and Lucia chose to run away, leaving everything behind; power, influence, wealth… I didn't understand what's so great to give up those things," Sam uttered in a melancholic tone as his grip around me trembled. "I…

While I waited for Sam, I decided to take a stroll in the third princes' garden. My eyes scanned the not-maintained garden. It was very unlike the Avolire Garden or the other gardens in the palace. This place looked more like a cemetery. We just needed more corpses to bury… wait. Now that I thought about it, Fabian liked gardens, and every garden he had worked on was beautiful there was no doubt about it. But why hadn't he focused on this garden? I brood over it while rubbing my chin until an idea…

The day had passed just like that, and it was already nighttime. Once I returned to my husband's quarters, Mildred was there to welcome me. "It's been a while, Mildred," I said as I plopped down to the divan, lifting my legs over the other as I leaned back. "How have you been?" My eyes fell on her, who stood before me. Since that time I punished her, I kept giving menial tasks to Mildred just because I didn't want to see her. "I'm doing better, Your Grace. Thank you for your concern." Mildred hung…
