I gasped for air, waking up from a strange yet vague dream. My throat rasped as I broke out in sweats. I turned to my side, only to realize Sam wasn't beside me. 'Where did he go?' I wondered, closing my eyes as I calmed myself down. My head throbbed, but the pain was bearable; I'm already used to it. When would this dream stop? It had been half a year since I became an official member of the Order. For half a year… my dreams and nightmares had been increasingly troublesome. It would leave me with…

Seven years ago, in the land of Grimsbanne, a procession of carriages made their long, arduous journey towards the Duke's mansion. It was yet another time of the year where nobles made a parade to gather at the esteemed estate of the Duke. "Woah…" the 17-year-old Lilou awed, watching the lavish carriages crested with the nobility's insignias. She held her dirty hands closer to her chest, tiptoeing, hoping to see the nobles despite the crowd before her. 'It's the time of the year again,' she…

"Why do you always apologize for something you didn't do, Lexx?" "What did you say?" he asked, catching my attention as I raised my head. "Just now… what did you…?" "Your Majesty?" I furrowed my brows, perplexed at what caused him to look at me in surprise. Did I say something offensive? Stefan let out a weak scoff, shaking his head lightly. "It's… nothing." But I didn't think it was actually nothing, but I ignored it. "Your Majesty, please forgive my insolence and tactless actions just…

"I just had to close this tiny gap, sweetheart, and everything is over." I held my breath as I watched him inch closer. My heart was thumping so loud it was painful. Why, Stefan? Why would you look at me with such desperation in your eyes? When I got a whiff of his breath, I snapped back to my senses and turned my head to the side. What the hell was I thinking at that moment? He was too close and we could have… I panted for air in disbelief at myself. He drew away. "Let's chat again some other…

This was awkward. Why did I even agree to his invitation if I knew this would happen? A sigh slipped from my lips. I should excuse myself since he hadn't said a word from the beginning. "I —" "How are you faring?" he asked, cutting me off as if he knew what I would say. I glanced at him and my eyes instinctively averted in a different direction when I caught him looking at me. "Good, Your Majesty." It was actually better until the moment he asked me for a stroll. I've only seen Stefan a few…

Time surely flies so fast and another month had passed since I became a member of the Divine Order. I could still remember the thick atmosphere filled with hostility from them during our first encounter, but it wasn't that bad now. I even made a few friends. "Those damn bastards had been a pain in the neck!" Ramin croaked, slamming his palms on his desk, which startled me back to reality. I raised my gaze and set them on the other desk across from me. Ramin seemed he woke up on the wrong side of the…

I was startled back to reality when Silvia suddenly came to my side. "Sister." I gazed up and smiled. "Sivi, why are you here?" I asked and my eyes fell on her armor attire, leaving me in awe. "I came here to train," she answered with a light chuckle. "I heard you'll be joining the case about the undead, so I thought of visiting you." "Sivi, is this why you've been busy?" I inquired, a little taken aback as I blinked cluelessly. That was quite surprising. Silvia had a fierce aura, but I didn't think…

Alphonse, the second son of the late king. It was said that in terms of skills, strength, and intelligence, Alphonse had excelled among the La Crox brothers, — surpassing even the then-crown prince, Dyrroth. He was a perfect candidate as the heir to the throne with his innate talent. However, there was only one thing that Alphonse lack, empathy. Although the members of the royal family grew up in a strict and deadly environment, a ruler still had the responsibility and carried the weight of the crown;…

I kept thinking about Rufus' advice, especially with the air of hostility I felt in other's gazes. However, I didn't expect that advice to also apply to everyone. Once the king and Sam arrived, everyone had taken their respected seats, and the meeting had started. No one spoke aside from the person who was briefing us on what matters we should discuss tonight. My eyes kept scanning everyone. There were a few people I knew or was familiar with, aside from Sam, the other familiar faces around the table…

After an hour, Lena and Mildred came in and helped me get dressed not as the duchess of Grimsbanne, but as a member of the Divine Order. I was surprised at how prepared they were while Sam went out for some 'trivial' (his words) matters. I glanced at Mildred, who was standing on the side, keeping herself silent while Lena tied my hair up. I didn't expect to see Mildred in here tonight, after what happened last night. Vampire genes were surely amazing, as they could recover from that overnight. "Your…
