200 vi. His Mona Lisa Ever since the kiss happened, she has tried to avoid his majesty. She felt like she couldn’t even breathe normally when he is around. The feeling of his kiss lingered on her lips even after such a long time. And that dizzying, satisfying feeling of her heart fluttering like butterfly wings when they sip the sweet nectar of a flower... that was addicting. Of course it is utterly confusing as well, but nonetheless, it does make her feel like she can actually reach for the…

198 vi. You Belong to Me As he took her hand in his, she felt light tremors in her skin. It must undeniably be because of the way his body heat seemed to radiate into the air. She closed her eyes before focusing on the path ahead. The crown prince is leading her into a maze adorned with rose bushes. She felt a bit impressed over that small coincidence about someone as irrelevant as her sharing the same favorite flower as the crown prince. “The roses are very pretty,” she would mindlessly…

197 vi. Take a Walk with Me She ended up having more items of clothing than she could have wished for, so much so that another room was additionally assigned to her where her new dresses will be kept. Despite her non-acceptance of his highness’s gifts, he insisted he wore the clothes he bought her or it will be a tremendous waste of the kingdom’s treasury. Seeing how it was, she was now forced to dress extravagantly and lavishly as also more maids have been assigned to personally look after…

196 vi. A Visit to the Boutique Today the noble ladies are set to visit the capital. They are to see the most prosperous city in the empire and to observe the trade and the cultural exchange in the area. But though it is what was written in the decree, most noble ladies are more excited to visit the luxury shops lined up in the area.

195 vi. I Have Been Waiting Long She took a deep breath as they were led to the grand banquet. It is the first day of the selection. Night, rather. Where they are to be presented for the first time before the crown prince, as official candidates for his hand in marriage. Everyone is supposed to be at their best so as to leave a lasting impression before the highness’s eyes. She is nervous for two reasons. One, she is underdressed. Two, she didn’t know how she would feel during this meeting.…

194 vi. The Selection She still didn’t quite understand why her grandmother asked for her presence. Even as a child, she has been quite aware that her father’s side of the family lacked any familial affection toward her. It wasn’t just because her father was born second only to the heir that they got so little property to their name. The grand duke is capable of giving both his sons generous pieces of land and money without detriment to himself. However, the duke and the rest of the family…

193 vi. A Romantic Interest “Let us go,” he offered his hand. “Go where, my prince?” she asked, perplexed. “To the gardens. You said you wanted a breath of fresh air,” he said, his voice calm and serious. She blinked. Once, twice. If she could do it again without looking like a fool then she would. “Do you mean to join me on my evening walk, your highness?” surely this must be a work of the devil. She has heard about devils from the war inhabiting the bodies of the…

192 vi. Did You Miss Me? Alas, after three long years, the war has ended. Selene has gained a newly annexed territory and there are no more border disputes to ever arise from this as the war concluded in a most favorable treaty to Selene. Dominus, dubbed as the ultimate war hero of the past war, wore nothing but a frown as he was welcomed back home in a rather posh and extravagant parade. He felt irritated at how he was wasting so much time being paraded like a cattle. And an even more tiring…

191 vi. The Cruel Prince She always felt like the prince is someone who hates her with all his heart. Even as children she would always feel his piercing gaze on her. Even when she avoids him on every occasion, he would always find a way to meet with her and make her feel miserable. Her father is the third son of the duke, as such their estates are far too inconsequential to matter to the crown. Even their meetings have been so brief and fleeting. But he has always taken a liking to punishing…
