"It's so bright!" I mumbled as I tried to cover my sleepy eyes that were nearly blinded by a? bright light. Screech! From somewhere nearby, I heard a bird screech. "Did that eagle follow me?" I opened my eyes, expecting to see myself surrounded by trees and plants, but I found myself staring at a familiar ceiling with a netted curtain hanging from it. 'Am I dreaming?' It was the same view I had been seeing for the past few days whenever I woke up. I found it difficult to fully open my eyes due…

Getting back to my senses, I pushed away the man holding me close to him—or at least, I tried to. I wanted to get away from him but my body felt too weak to do so. Catching my breath, I stared at the man, trying to understand what had just happened. What did he want from me? Why was I feeling like this so suddenly? His red eyes were still staring at me as I asked, "What did you do?" "What you had wished for," came his reply. His answer puzzled me. He seemed to realize that I didn't get what he…

When midnight came, I sat in the bed, dressed not in my nightgown but in thick yet simple clothes that looked comfortable to wear and would not stand out. I strained my ears, trying to catch any conversation floating nearby. There was only silence, and I was sure, aside from the guards, most people within the palace were already asleep. I was sure it was the right time for me to leave this palace without getting caught. When I went out with Brother Cian, I had counted the number of knights guarding the…

(Seren's POV) After my brother left, I spent my time quietly inside my bedchamber. I had taken my medicines and eaten my food without a fuss, wanting my body to recover as much as possible given the short time I had left. A week was all I had, and I needed to be at least strong enough so I could run away. Though Cian cared for me, in the end, I was being sent away, and he couldn't stop it. It was better to run away on my own and not implicate him. Since everyone wanted this witch to get out of this…

Silently, the two siblings entered the royal residence from its main entrance and walked towards the left-wing of the palace where Seren's bedchamber was located. No words were exchanged between them the entire way, causing the mood to be uncomfortable for Cian. Not that he could blame Seren. Unable to do more for his sister, Cian merely respected her private space and silently accompanied her the whole way to her bedchamber. Soon, they crossed the part of the wing where the royal knights under Sir…

When she started walking away, Cian decisively followed her. "If you have anything to say, say it to me. Don't keep it in your heart." Seren stopped walking but didn't look at her brother. Her words did not sound cold, but they had no hint of emotion either. "His Majesty had always kept me locked inside the tower and kept me away from the outside world saying it is to protect me, that I should never ever step out of the tower and should not mingle with others. But now, he is giving me away to some…

"If you like it here, I will bring you here often," Cian offered when he realized that his youngest sister was staring at the lake in a daze. He could not help but add in his mind, 'At least, till you are here with us.' 'Do I like it here?' Seren realized that rather than the lake itself, what she liked was this brief getaway—spending time with her brother, simply sitting inside the gazebo and enjoying the pleasant breeze coming from the lake. However, she did not share her true thoughts and…

Cian observed his sister as he offered her a light smile. Though he had never seen her face, he was sure his sister was sure so pretty that she had to cover her face with the veil. Cian looked at the nurses. "You two can leave. If there is any need, you will be informed." "Yes, Your Highness!" The two siblings walked away from the bedchamber with only his personal knight, Sir Eliot, following behind. "If you feel tired, you can tell me," Cian told her and Seren just nodded in response. As…

When Cian reached Seren's bedchamber, the knight who remained to guard the door and the two nurses standing outside immediately lowered their heads to pay their respects to the prince. "What happened?" Cian asked the nurses. One of the nurses stepped up to answer him. "It was Her Highness herself who asked us to leave the bedchamber." "What did you two do?" The blame in his tone scared the two nurses. They felt their bodies trembling under the gaze of the Crown Prince; his eyes were saying if…

For this council meeting, all the ministers were in attendance in the royal court. Everyone knew today would be the day King Armen would make his decision related to the future of both the kingdoms of Abetha and Megaris, and no one dared to miss such an important occasion. It could be seen that despite belonging to different factions, the ministers were united by the benefits of having a marriage alliance between the King of Megaris and the Third Princess of Abetha. A number of ministers were happy to…
