With the sun setting as his backdrop, Drayce's tall body cast a long shadow inside his chamber as he stood by the window, seemingly waiting with a faraway gaze. Just a while ago, he heard Seren and Cian talking to each other and got to know the Ilven siblings were finally back. After a short while, a majestic bird landed on the window sill and flapped his wings to greet his master. Drayce asked while caressing his head, "Did she have a good time with her brother?" Dusk pecked on his hand to say…

The siblings left the opera house in their royal carriage and went towards the main street leading out of the city proper. Soon, they reached a farm covered with crops tall enough to their knees. One part of it had vegetables, the other looked like it was a paddy field for rice grains. There were some random fruit trees in between. "A farm?" Seren asked as she curiously glanced around. "Hmm!" he replied and led her way towards a stony path. "Why are we here?" she asked while following her…

With only a little time left before she would belong to someone else, Cian wanted to use it to give her everything that she couldn't get for the past seventeen years. Cian bought her jewelry, clothes, and whatever nice things he found from almost every shop they entered. The knights escorting them all had their arms full with boxes and packages. Though Seren didn't show on her face that she was happy, but in her heart she liked it a lot. Her brother was buying various things for her. This was something…

Inside his bedchamber, Slayer was awake, sitting on the bed with his back supported by pillows. Seeing his king visit him, he felt happy and did an awkward bow from his position. "Greetings, Your Majesty." If he could, he would have jumped out of the bed and kneeled on the ground to greet his king. "How are you now?" "I am fine," he replied casually. A smile spread on his face. "Congratulations on your wedding, Your Majesty." With a slight nod, Drayce accepted his best wishes, but now that…

Seren had never seen the waterfall before, but she recalled seeing a similar image in a picture story book. 'There is a waterfall in this part of the river? Why did Martha never bring me here?' There was something soothing and musical about the sound of falling water. Seren was thoroughly fascinated with this new experience. "It looks better than in the books," Seren could not help but whisper in wonder, observing the beautiful waterfall. Cian heard her and agreed with it, "Hmm, it's really…

Soon, the royal carriage reached the river. From inside of the carriage, Seren could see its beautiful clear waters as the carriage rode along the riverbank. The river water was sparkling under the sun, as if tiny jewels were scattered on the surface. She moved her hand to open the carriage window to get a clearer view, but the glass was stuck and she couldn't move it. "Let me do it." Cian helped her open the window. The clean smell of the greenery around them seemed to have refreshed her spirits.…

Seren continued to look outside. Since they left through the main gates, the carriage was now passing through the streets where ordinary people gather. Outside the carriage, she could see everyone clearing the way for the royal carriage to let it pass without any disturbances. On the sides of the street, the crowd stood with their heads lowered to show respect. Seren said in a low and melancholic voice, "These people are bowing to the carriage at this moment thinking royals must be inside. If they know…

"Do I have a hidden power inside me that is showing its effect now?" Drayce helplessly shook his head. "Hidden powers? Seems like my little kitten loves to play magic games." "Maybe I need to have a magic wand like what those witches have in the storybooks?" At those words, Drayce chuckled. "So naive." A soft sigh echoed from her chamber as her voice dulled. "If I am the daughter of a witch, then let me use my powers so I can use it to run away from here. Before abandoning me, you should have…

With only a single wall separating them, Drayce could clearly hear everything happening in the bedchamber next to his. "It's so bright!" Hearing Seren's whiny complaint first thing in the morning, Drayce smirked. "Seems like she finally woke up." Her talking with long pauses in between where she must have processed in her mind what was going, Drayce focussed on everything. She must be confused to see why and how she was back in the palace and in her bedchamber. Drayce heard her whine again.…

"Did he...did he change my clothes too?" My breath was stuck in my chest, and no word could come out from my throat. I felt like I would suffocate at the thought of what happened last night. 'The red-eyed man should not be that sort of a rascal, right?' I squeezed my eyes shut as I let out the stuffy air stuck through my mouth. "Did he see me naked, or did he not?" I kept mumbling under my breath, not knowing what I should feel now. It might be a kind gesture, but it would be downright…
