"Shall we leave? Leonard has prepared everything," Arlan informed as he looked at Drayce. Drayce nodded while Seren was curious where they were going next. "Wah! Uncle Arlan, are we really going out?" Rayjin asked. "Of course, you naughty little girl. We need to be good hosts to our guests," Arlan replied. "Sadly, I can't accompany you all," Alvera commented, looking a little regretful about not being able to go with them. Ever since she entered the household of the Duke of Wimark years ago,…

While Seren was immersed in her own shocking thoughts, the aide of the King of Griven approached his king to inform him that the morning assembly would be starting soon, and as such, they needed to leave. "Alas, time flies when you are enjoying!" King Ailwin could not help but complain. His queen merely laughed as the two of them stood up to leave. Everyone else stood up as well to see them off, pulling Seren back to the present. She hurried to follow the others in bowing slightly to the king and the…

Seren thought she would be led directly to Drayce, but her servants escorted her to an empty dining hall where she was informed she would be having her morning meal first. After the palace maids prepared the local delicacies of Griven on the table, Eva and Marie told everyone to leave and positioned themselves outside the door, knowing that their queen preferred to eat without people serving by her side. After some time, Seren heard a knock and Eva entered. "Your Majesty, the King will be arriving…

They no longer said anything to each other until Seren finished her bath. The young queen sat in front of the dresser with Eva helping her with drying her hair. Their king and queen would meet the monarchs of Griven officially today so Eva had to prepare Seren with a more formal look, befitting the Queen of Megaris. While Eva was busy working on Seren, they heard a knock, and Marie arrived carrying a small white porcelain bowl. She bowed to Seren while looking at her through the mirror. "Greetings, Your…

"Apologies, my Queen. I didn't mean to hurt you," he said in a shaken voice, but she didn't respond to him, as if she had not heard him. Drayce felt a sensation he had not felt for a long time—fear. As a powerful man, he was never the kind of person to be scared, whether there be sword fights against a skilled fighter or an attack of an assassin or butting heads with influential figures in political battles. But at this moment, seeing that trembling body not responding to him, his chest was clutched…

When morning came, Seren woke up unable to move. A strong arm was still surrounding her waist, keeping her in place, and it belonged to no other than the red-eyed man sleeping next to her. She wanted to get up as she had enough of this skinship. She felt her right shoulder hurting a little due to sleeping in the same position for so long. With deliberate care, she held his hand and tried to lift his arm up to get out of the bed, but then heard him say in a low husky voice something that sent shivers…

The presence of the poor Sir Rulf was forgotten by both royals, and nobody had noticed him immediately lowering his head. At this moment, he was torn between quietly leaving the room like a good subordinate and gawking at the strangely intimate sight to share with his fellow knights over drinks later. His king had been giving him shock after shock since the day they arrived in Abetha. He had long understood the reason, and today, it was merely another confirmation of a single fact—that the devil-like…

In the next hour, Seren woke up in a daze. Although she felt that her eyes were slightly swollen, she felt a bit better, all the exhaustion gone. Her servants came to her. Eva smiled. "Your Majesty, good to see you awake. Did you rest well?" "Would you like a glass of cold water?" The other servant, Marie, placed a tray with cold water on the table beside the bed. Seeing her servants fuss around her, Seren remembered what happened in the merchant district. 'Did I sleep for long?' Seren thought as…

Once Seren had settled on the bed, Drayce covered her with a quilt before going to the adjacent room to change his clothes as they too had blood stains after he helped carry the injured Dusk. When he returned after changing clothes, he noticed Seren had already drifted into a deep sleep. He went closer to her and observed the woman whose breathing was finally steady and rhythmic. Her face was calm, unlike how anxious and agitated she was a while ago. He sat at the edge of the bed, still looking at…

The merchant was able to sigh in relief? and relayed orders to his men before bidding farewell to the Crown Prince. Afterwards, Arlan walked towards Drayce with his knights after instructing his personal knight to bring the royal carriage for the Queen of Megaris. After the wolves ran away, Seren looked lost and defeated, not knowing what to do as tears didn't stop coming out from her eyes and she didn't dare touch the wounded bird who had stopped his movements. It was as if she had gone into shock.…
