Just as Martha stepped out of Seren's bedchamber, the calmness on her face was replaced with worry. She was lost in thought as she entered her own room, and even as she sat on a wooden chair next to the window, the worry on her face never eased. Martha's room was next to Seren's room. When Seren was young, Martha used to stay with the little princess the morning she woke up until she fell asleep. As the little princess was isolated in her tower all her life, abandoned by the entire world for reasons she…

"Then my lady should behave like one," Martha commented. Before I could say another word, she pulled out something from the pocket of her sleeve. "This is for my lady." I swallowed my words and asked in surprise, "For me?" 'Present for me?" I smiled lightly and took it from her, not waiting for a moment. It was a delicate, finely carved hairpin with multiple and brightly shining stones fixed on it. Delicate gold chains hung to it, forming a semicircle, giving it a sophisticated look. "It's…

"Your Majesty, we have a way to trap the witch again," Minister Darus said, trying to get back in his superior's good books. Queen Niobe raised a brow, waiting for him to continue. "I heard the Third Princess had stepped out of the palace today and caused harm to people in the central business district." The minister roughly narrated the incident from the marketplace. "No wonder the flowers in my garden bloomed. That witch must be happy after burning our people," First Princess Giselle commented,…

While King Armen was worried for Seren and King Drayce was curious about her; on the other hand, there was someone who didn't have good intentions towards the Third Princess of Abetha. That same night, Queen Niobe was in her chamber with both of her daughters accompanying her. The blond, middle-aged woman had fair and radiant skin despite her age. As she sat on a finely crafted wooden chair trying to relax, her poise remained as regal as it was when she was meeting nobility in the throne room. Her…

"Next time, I'll make sure to replace that lizard with your thing," Drayce warned as his sight moved downward along Arlan's body. In reflex, Arlan lowered his hand when Drayce said 'his thing' and spoke, "Do you wish to know about her tonight or want to wait to find someone who loves their life?" In response, Drayce sat on one of the chairs, kept his sword to one side, and simply stared at the prince. Arlan followed him to occupy the chair next to him. Drayce no longer needed to repeat his…

When Arlan entered Drayce's room, he found his friend standing in front of the window. He was staring outside, towards the starry sky, looking deep in thought. "Since we returned from the marketplace, you have been unusually silent. Did something happen?" Arlan asked as he made himself comfortable on a finely crafted wooden chair with a soft red cushion. Drayce turned to look at him. "I want to know about the Third Princess of Abetha." His question startled Arlan and made him curious about why his…

"Why hasn't Your Majesty seen his own daughter's face ever?" Martha's question reminded King Armen about the bitter truth about his youngest daughter. How unfortunate he was not to be able to see his daughter's face even once. As her father, it was one of the greatest regrets he had in his life. He could still recall when he first held her in his arms when she was a newborn, and although he badly wished to get a glimpse of her looks, he never had the chance to. That veil on the lower part of her face…

Martha and Seren reached the palace through the horse carriage brought by the king's men who had been asked to keep an eye on her. Just like Martha, they were also late to reach the place of the incident due to Seren's successful escape. The carriage dropped them by the river, close to the palace wall where the secret passage connected the tower and the outside world. Martha and Seren did not even look to appreciate the scenery as they entered the dark passage. After all, the once-blossoming flowers had…

After running into King Armen, Arlan led Drayce to take a stroll at the pretty lake on the eastern side of the palace, but of course, Drayce was not interested in the scenic view at all. "Since you're still bored, we should use the rest of the day to take a look outside of the palace," Arlan suggested. "Not like we will grow gold inside the palace if we stay here," Drayce countered as he could not see what was interesting about this so-called pretty place. In his opinion, its reputation was…

I tried to pull my hand from his grasp, but my strength was nothing compared to his. "Don't anger me. I can burn you too," I warned again, but my words seemingly fell on deaf ears. Only after getting inside a quiet alley, far away from the place of the incident, did the red-eyed man finally stop. He cornered me against the tall stone wall of the alley, and as he faced me, he stared into my eyes which were covered by the transparent cloth from my hat. He smirked. "My anger can burn this entire…
