When King Armen's and Cian's arrival was announced, both Seren and Martha stood up to politely receive them. "How are you?" King Armen asked as he stood in front of Seren. Though Seren was upset with her father, she could not disrespect the King of Abetha. When she replied, she didn't look at him, keeping her gaze fixed on the marble floor. "I am fine, Your Majesty." "Won't you even look at me?" King Armen asked. "This subject dare not disrespect? Your Majesty by looking into your eyes," she…

"Eliot, crush those hands that dared touch the Third Princess." Eliot signaled the guards to drag those dirty commoners to the one side of the chamber where the tools of torture were placed. Arranged there was a huge wooden block and heavy stone along with metal tools like hammers, knives, among many other things. "One finger at a time," Cian ordered, not even looking at the place where those men were dragged. Cian sat quietly as he heard those men screaming in pain one after another. All of them…

It was dark outside when Cian and his knight left his study after the prince wrapped up some paperwork. Although he was tired, work was not yet done. His last schedule for the day was to visit the prison where criminals who have committed crimes against the crown and the royal family were held captive, the very place where he had imprisoned the traitors who helped Hatha and Thevailes in his abduction, the assassins who killed the royal knights and hung their mutilated bodies inside Seren's garden and the…

Martha, who was merely a servant, was hugged by the princess. Martha remembered the days when Seren was a baby and she had to take care of the little princess like her own daughter. As that baby grew up, Martha had to give up on her motherly side and started to distance herself, acting as a proper servant who knew the difference between their status. She would always bow to this princess and serve her like a maid, never allowing herself to step out of her role. She could no longer recall how many years had…

Martha felt a dangerous aura lingering around the young man. She shook her head. "I don't mean it like that, Your Majesty. We had to hide her the way we did because I am not that powerful, but it's not the same with you, Your Majesty. I can see that you are capable of protecting her just by being by her side. Your Majesty holds the power to suppress the essence of her powers, to the point that even I cannot sense it. Without that essence to guide them, those people will not be able to find her," she…

Martha returned to the tower first before going to Seren. When King Armen pointed out that she didn't look good, he was not wrong with his observation. Since she entered the palace, Martha was trying her best to show she was fine—the entire time she was in front of King Armen and even when she was walking towards the tower. Her steps were slow but steady when she passed through the gates, and she seemed to be idly strolling as she walked across the princess's flower garden. But just as she entered the…

"We can only hope for him to be on her side as he is going to marry her. There is nothing else we can do but expect him to be a protective husband." Her answer was, of course, not satisfactory for the two. Cian scoffed, "We can only hope? Is my sister that worthless that her life is dependent on what we can only hope from one stranger?" Martha looked at the unhappy prince. "You can remind him of our expectations, but aside from that, we have no other way, Your Highness." She then turned towards…

Her lack of remorse angered King Armen. He stood up from his chair, wanting to order his knights to seize Martha and punish her, but his rationality returned, and he managed to stop himself. He glowered at the old woman standing before him. "How can you say that? For her own good? Can you even hear yourself? Do you even know where we have to send her? Away to Megaris! Our efforts to protect her all these years went in vain!" "I won't be able to protect her after this anyway, so it's good she is going…

(Seren's? POV) The next morning, I woke up only to find myself in my bedchamber. Again. "I am sure it is not a dream." I immediately sat up in bed. The first thing I did was to check my dress. It proved my suspicion. "So he changed it again. That shameless pervert!" With gritted teeth, I checked for wounds on my skin where it hurt last night after I fell down in the pit. There were no marks and I was not in pain. "I am... completely fine again? No pain, no tiredness... but how?" I looked around…

My heart was pounding, and whether it was happiness or nervousness or a combination of both, I was not entirely sure.? I stepped out of the side entrance and not waiting for anything, straight away ran on the same path I had taken the previous night which I was familiar with now. Last night, I felt tired quickly, but tonight was different. Despite touring the city with my brother since morning, I seemed to have more energy than before.? Even I was surprised that I was not yet tired. One had to remember…
