Leaving the tower, Erich Winfield straightway went to king Armen. He had to get answers to a few more things from King Armen and he could not wait anymore. Erich Winfield had seen Martha during the wedding ceremony of the Third Princess and he was waiting for it to be over so he could talk to her. Lord Eudes entered King Armen's study where Cian still accompanied his father. "Your Majesty, Physician Erich Winfield seeks an audience." King Armen nodded. Lord Eudes left and King Armen looked at…

"Valen," Erich Winfield answered. The expression on Martha's face soured. "He is the king of Abetha. Be careful of the way you address him." "Doesn't matter to me and neither does he object." "Do whatever you want." After saying that, she walked ahead. "The one you were protecting is gone. Must you still ignore me now? I have been patient, thinking one day we will meet. Do you really have to act as if you don't recognize me?" he said. She stopped. "What do you want?" "For now, let me…

Once the carriage of the bride and groom disappeared from their sight, everyone turned to leave. Martha returned to the tower. As Seren was gone, she planned to retire and leave the palace. There was no longer a need for her to stay here. She first decided to pack her stuff before going to King Armen to bid farewell. It did not take her long to pack her stuff as there was nothing much for her to carry. She had been living a simple life in this tower with the Third Princess of this kingdom to fulfill the…

When I entered that royal carriage, I realized that its interior was more luxurious than its outside appearance. It had wide cushioned seats on both sides with plenty of legroom and curtains attached to the glass windows. I made myself comfortable inside and found that the red-eyed man did not follow me inside. For a moment, I was relieved. Through the glass window, my eyes were drawn towards Martha who was standing at the edge of the crowd, away from the royals surrounding the carriage. Somehow, the…

I finally reacted and looked at the older woman through the mirror. "Martha?" "Yes, my lady?" "Do you remember the red-eyed man I mentioned to you before who I saw in my visions?" "Yes, my lady," Martha replied. "The man I married today is that exact red-eyed man," I informed her. "Hmm," Martha hummed nonchalantly. I gave her a displeased look. "Aren't you surprised? That man, why was he in my visions?" Martha had a strangely calm expression on her face, her words filled with concern.…

Red-eyed man! No word could escape my throat as I got the shock of my life. I felt weak in my knees, and suddenly,? the floor under my feet was slipping away. It was as if the shock was the final push needed for the weight of the heavy bridal gown and jewelry, added to the anxiousness of getting married, to come crashing at me. This revelation was so unexpected, I felt like my soul would leave my body at any moment. The moment my body lost strength, a pair of strong arms held me, protecting me from…

As the knights moved to open the doors, I exhaled and said in my mind, 'Calm down, Seren. You can do it. It's your way to get freedom. After seeing these ugly scales on me, he will only be scared of me or will abandon me thinking I am an ugly monster. How can the queen of such a powerful kingdom be someone looking inhuman? He is only after my title, and will surely be disgusted with my appearance.' Martha and the female servants stepped away from me. From this door onwards, I had to walk alone. The…

Drayce woke up early just like Seren. From the bedchamber next to his, he could hear voices and understood his soon-to-be queen had woken up. But from the tone and manner of her speech, he could guess she was not in the best of moods. Either it was because she had just woken up, or it was because of the wedding. Just like Seren, royal servants accompanied Drayce to get ready as a groom. He let the servants do their jobs with his ears and mind only focusing on the bedchamber next to his. Seren had barely…

By the time the sun took its place in the sky, they were still busy fussing over me. Around this time, I would normally be eating my morning meal. However, I had no appetite today, and even if I had, no one also offered me food as it would make me not fit into the tiny corset they made me wear. "We are done, Your Highness," one of the maids said as they all stepped back. For the past few hours, no one among them made idle chatter, and everyone was careful not to make a mistake. Even though they were…

Finally, it was the day of the wedding between King Drayce Ivanov of Megaris and Princess Seren Ilven of Abetha. The royal palace was decorated with numerous well-preserved flowers imported from outside the capital, as well as scarlet banners and expensive decorations made of gold, turning the entire grounds and various parts of the palace into a sea of dazzling red and gold. Delegates from various friendly forces and noble families had entered the palace to give their congratulations, even though they…
