"Now, now. You're making my bride so flustered." A sigh of relief escaped my lips upon hearing Sam's chuckle. He smirked dangerously. My hand trembled, struggling to go forth. Sam stopped my attack with a mere finger. The blade was against the nail of his forefinger. Just how strudy was his nail that grew an inch longer? But that's not important. My hand was acting on its own. I couldn't understand this feeling circling around my heart. But this murderous intent between us had shaken my…

On the training grounds, while I was checking the wooden swords, I glanced at Sam. He was sulking in the corner, drawing circles with his finger. I could not help but smile. Sam was not the type of person who would scheme. His methods were too straightforward. If he kills, he kills with or without an audience. That's why he lost. He's not the type who planned ahead like the king because he's strong. But because of that, that incident happened. Though, if that incident didn't happen, we would…

Time sure flies so fast. It felt like yesterday; I was dying on my first day of training. But it had been three months since then. I remembered feeling sore during my first week. But Rufus… that damn instructor was too strict. I wanted to beat him at least for once. But, I'm grateful. That Rufus was the one who trained me. If it was someone else, I wouldn't make this tremendous progress. "I bought some refreshment." Sam snapped be back. I gazed at my side. Sam was eating a slice of watermelon…

When the training ended, I couldn't even lift my arms. I just collapsed on the ground, not caring about the dust as I laid my back flat against it. I thought I'd die today. No, I just cheated death today. I actually thought it's not just a training, but a torture. After swinging the sword left and right, getting scolded by Rufus by holding it incorrectly, and Sam's interference whenever Rufus got close, I'm beat. Yet, my heart felt full as I stared at the tangerine sky because of the sunset. How…

My body felt sore even when I try to deny it. I could barely move a muscle. However, I had to follow my instructor's orders. I even refused Sam's offer to carry me all the way to the training grounds. Alas, why were they following me? I looked back. Sam, Cameron, and Fabian were walking behind me. They all bore worry in their eyes, as if they were looking at a pitiful, wounded bird. It made me feel as if that was the only thing they could do while I walk towards my death. Was this my funeral? A…

Back in Grimsbanne, although I interacted little with Sir Rufus, meeting him was inevitable. After all, Sam would join me in the garden daily, and he would get dragged away by Rufus. That had been part of my daily life in the duke's mansion. So, while I was with Fabian, I would sometime ask him about Sir Rufus. I asked just because I didn't want to get on his bad side, as he was always wary towards me. But Rufus' story and how he ended up being Sam's knight was an interesting story to hear. At…

After that, Cameron went to his knees. He placed his hand on his chest, bowing. When he looked up, he reached for my hand. "My lady, please accept me—" "Stop." Sam interrupted. Both Cameron and I turned our heads to him, and Sam's face bore a look of disdain. Sam pointed at the hands that were holding mine. "How dare you?" His last remarks made us freeze. I knew Cameron would swear his loyalty to me as I shamelessly accepted lakresha. I knew the responsibilities I had to bear wearing…
-
After that talk last night, Sam had called Cameron and Fabian. He had announced that we would return to Grimsbanne. However, for reasons unknown, I insisted on staying in Cunningham instead. This had taken the three of them by surprise. I'm uncertain of the reason, but deep down, I felt that once I left Cunningham, everything would be futile. Hence, I sincerely asked Cameron if we could stay in Cunningham. Fortunately, despite Sam's threat and his previous actions, Cameron was kind enough to…

The bed chamber fell into nothing but silence. Only the crisp sound of wood burning into ash from the fireplace resonated in the air. I only told Sam what I recalled. My time meeting with Lara, about Lakresha, and about giving her blessing. Some of our conversation faded. Maybe because I was in shock. Still, I could remember someone portraying as Sam. Although I couldn't remember most parts, what I remembered was Sam's impostor, drinking my blood until I collapsed. (A/N: READ AUTHOR'S NOTE IF THIS…

His reaction was the opposite of what I had expected. His smirk stretched wider, making it look more twisted. "Of course, you are." He replied in delight. I'm shaking, terrified, and just wanted to crawl away. That's a fact. However, Fabian didn't exhaust himself coming up with lesson plans he had to write all night for me. Sam had granted me a life so beautiful. He had granted me powers; knowledge. This man before me who made me feel so little… I'm aware I couldn't fend him off with sheer…
