Bride of the Dark Prince CXXXIX
"What are you doing?" A question slipped from the lips of Prince Andreas. He and Amanda had just arrived at the door of King Darren's private room when they found Prince Apollo tucking his father in a blanket."Ah, what did I do?" said Prince Apollo imitating Prince Andreas' question. “Father wanted to rest for a bit after punishing me. Thank you, little brother. I became more 'aware' after you reported me to Father," said Prince Apollo as he stepped out of the King of Landyork's private room. King Darren's eldest son's hands began to shake violently as he left the room without his younger brother noticing.Prince Andreas smiled in response to his brother's words, feeling he had done the right thing. "Let's go, Amanda. Later, we will meet the King again. Besides, I saw that the parchment was safe on your father's desk," whispered Prince Andreas, winking.***Amanda returned to her room with a frown. She couldn't sleep until morning, reflecting on the irregularities in King Darren's ro

After a few days, when Duke Alantoin met Amanda and Prince Apollo in Landyork, the Black Prince received news that his soldiers had captured Karak. Someone who once made a poison concoction through the medium of fish bones some time ago at King Abraham's birthday dance.Now that someone named Karak was already in the basement of the Black Prince's palace. The old man was tied to a chair with his head down, fingers and toes bloodied with fingernails missing. Several parts of his body also suffered fractures. It seems that the black army's rough treatment when interrogating was not just a figment of the imagination."He already confessed?" asked Illarion, who had just entered the dungeons of Exilas' palace. Galde, one of the soldiers with a severe face, shook his head. "He said he wanted to mention directly to the man who hired his services, sir."“Hmm… ,” Illarion muttered, then glared at the old man whose body was arching weakly. Even now, his face was facing his chest. 'Very brave

Illarion bit his lower lip. Various questions started popping up in his head. 'Does Amanda know about this? Had she been working with that damn Prince of Landyork all this time? But why did she save my life after the dance?'However, deep inside Illarion Black, he was worried about the girl's fate. 'Amanda, did I make a mistake by handing you over to that jerk?' But the thousands of nerves in the Black Prince's brain began to remember the terrible betrayal that his close colleague had committed. So that the man with dark irises also began to believe that Amanda was Prince Apollo's accomplice. 'Or you also turned out to be the same as it seems?' Illarion then walked away from the dungeon. He was rushed to his stables, looking for the black horse of the shire race. He had to make sure of it all himself. Whether Amanda betrayed Prince Apollo or if Prince Apollo was the traitor, it was certain that the girl was under torment by Prince Landyork.Amidst the confusion of the Black Prince

'Yes, Illarion, Amanda betrayed you….'While laughing sarcastically, Illarion said, "In the marriage agreement outlined in the King's parchment, there is no mention of an affair. What if that happened, and the parties work together to destroy the other party."All the state officials in the grand assembly hall were whispering in low voices. “Even that crippled girl could betray the Black Prince. It's disgusting that woman have no shame!""So which one is right? Did the disabled woman have an affair with another man, or did the Black Prince waste her?”"Shouldn't the marriage agreement be reviewed again by the King?"The whispers were getting louder from people who looked down on Amanda. It was as if the girl was a lowly slut due to the Black Prince's statement. The petite girl gripped the hem of her dress sleeve tightly while linking her fingers while smiling stiffly at King Abraham.'Even after everything I've done for Master, the Black Prince still doesn't believe me. I don't think

Amanda raised her eyes, looking back at her father-in-law. The sadness was full in the eyes of the King of Anarka. Finally, after what he had tried, Abraham was just a father who wanted his child to be happy and know love. But now he could only stare back with a smile at his ex-daughter-in-law.All eyes turned to Amanda as the girl exited the assembly hall. Illarion seemed to go mad when he saw the little woman come out with still wet cheeks because earlier, the man with black hair cursed himself for filing for divorce and believed in Amanda wholeheartedly, as well as his colleagues looked at the Black Prince like a man who a weak woman easily fooled.Illarion hated the slighted look. That was the view he got when he was little, he was weak and couldn't do anything when he was little, which is also why he hates children.He grabbed Amanda's arm roughly. The girl who had been looking down earlier choked in surprise when she raised her face to receive a glare from Illarion Black. "You

The night was long for Amanda. She didn't know the condition of the two people who accepted her situation. King Abraham and Illarion Black.'Are they dead? If so, of course I will be subject to severe punishment. Maybe this is my way of catching up with the people I really care about and love.'Amanda rubbed her belly. "I'm sorry, my baby," Amanda said again, repeating her apology before falling asleep because she was exhausted from the bad things that happened today.The cold stone floor wasn't a comfortable bed for Amanda, but she had gotten so used to it back at the Broke residence that she fell asleep. The sound of footsteps outside Amanda's holding cell rattled the floor where the girl had laid her head, awakening the pale skinned girl.With quick steps, Amanda headed for a thick wooden door with a hole only the size of a head in the form of a small box with bars located in the middle of the top of the door. The hole in the tiny crate was meant for the guards to see the state of

“Traitor!”"Murderer!"“Monsters!”"Witch!"The ridicule and swearing that rained down on Amanda White's figure on the stage of her death. The girl was still smiling beneath her black covering.Illarion Black woke up with a ragged breath, his whole body drenched in sweat, his eyes glazed over. He coughed slightly when he regained consciousness and tried to get up from sleep, but his body still felt unsteady."Lord!" cried a woman and a man beside Illarion in unison.The Black Prince, who was now sitting, accidentally leaned against the woman's chest because Illarion's body still felt weak. "Amanda?" he whispered as he turned to the side, hoping it was his wife. But, he had the luxurious bouquet of roses scent instead of Amanda's signature vanilla scent.A beautiful woman with blonde hair and eyes like the blue sky during the day stared back at him worriedly. “Are you dizzy, Prince?”"Ah, the antidote that you gave him is effective, Queen Zaina," praised Yurigov, standing behind the r

Now there was only the clatter of steel chains against the iron bed. Illarion was still trying to break free.Queen Zaina stepped out of the Black Prince's private room. She came out with teary eyes, not expecting the sight she had just seen. The Black Prince shed tears. 'Why does he look so weak? Did he really love Amanda? This isn't the Black Prince I've known all along!'Ratu Zaina's feelings are raging. Whether it's because she can't accept the helpless figure of the Black Prince or because Illarion Black already has someone very important in his heart, someone who even the ruler of Eden thinks is incomparable to her.Yurigov slowly closed the large window with black curtains as the sound from the direction of the Black Prince's bed faded, along with the black-haired man's consciousness."I'm willing to hate by you ,Prince, for the rest of my life for this. But it's the good of all of us."The sound of gunshots rang loudly outside, in contrast to the Black Prince's room, which wa

Illarion stopped in his tracks, not wanting Amanda to distance herself further from him. While gazing into Amanda's amethyst irises, the man with obsidian hair asked, "What if it's all true?" Amanda leaned against the cold stone wall in the underground chamber, not wanting to fall in front of Illarion Black, who had just revealed something Amanda had never suspected in her entire life. Her beloved friend Aime, who had been replaced by Illarion, had died because of the actions of the man she loved the most. 'I was even willing to die for this man with black hair,' Amanda thought. "I guess we're not destined to be together, Emperor," Amanda replied. The sorrowful expression that Illarion displayed upon hearing Amanda's words made Karak's laughter resonate once again in the underground chamber. "Karma! Hear that! It's your Karma, Illarion!" the old man interjected amidst his terrifying laughter. "Don't leave me again, Amanda," Illarion pleaded weakly as he followed the girl's steps t

"I am Karak."Amanda's purple eyes widened upon hearing that name. Karak was the man who poisoned Illarion during the dance party at King Abraham's birthday. It was then that they met Galela and Balton, who saved Illarion and provided the antidote for the poison.'Is it because of that incident that Illarion is torturing this man? Because he once poisoned him?' Amanda wonders why this old man gets punishment like this by Illarion Black."It seems like you recognize me," Karak guessed, narrowing his eyes. The chains on his back rattled. "Ah, my abilities are truly extraordinary."'I shouldn't get involved in this. I should leave,' Amanda thought."Hey, don't you hold a grudge against that man?" Karak asked.Amanda, who was about to turn back, halted her steps. "Why would I?""For sacrificing you.""What do you mean?" Amanda asked.Karak chuckled softly before answering Amanda's question. "Who do you think poisoned the King? The previous King.""Huh?" Amanda murmured, looking confused.

Princess Hera's face immediately turned pale. "Of course, the spring colour is the most suitable, like the colour of falling leaves," Amanda said with a smile, patting her sister-in-law's arm. "Oh, yes, of course," Princess Hera replied with a forced smile. "We were discussing the perfect dress colour for spring, my Lord," Amanda explained. "Oh," murmured Illarion, then he got into the carriage. "My sister will stop at the Main Palace. She will stay there for a while to prepare for our wedding celebration," Illarion explained to Amanda. "Ah! Thank you, Princess Hera. I hope I'm not causing you any trouble," Amanda expressed. "Oh, certainly not. I'm happy to finally do this after waiting for the emperor's wedding for ten years," Princess Hera replied, appearing to laugh. But that only furrowed Amanda's brow. 'Why does Princess Hera look so uncomfortable next to her brother?' Finally, Amanda White and Illarion Black arrive at the black palace after escorting Princess Hera to the

"What are you doing?" Princess Hera asked, investigating while pulling Illarion's arm as soon as the dance party ended.The Black Emperor immediately brushed the woman with dark ash hair hand. "What do you mean?""High Priest, what are you doing to him?"Illarion shook his head and scoffed. "Tsk! Do you suspect me, Sis? Isn't that going too far? I am also deeply saddened.""You're not good at acting, Illarion!" Princess Hera stated firmly.The handsome man with a scar on his right eyebrow laughed cynically."You've gone too far! You're just like our late father, the previous King."Illarion immediately stared sharply at his sister. "Don't compare me to that old man who sold you for power.""What's the difference? You also kill to justify your goals! The High Priest is a holy person, a representative of God, Illarion!" Prince Hera shouted. "I never expected you to become this bad.""I was the one who saved you!" Illarion retorted, clenching his jaw and tightening his elbow."We'll see

"I should have sent someone to fetch her," thought Illarion as he searched for Amanda among the hundreds of guests.Illarion face lit up with a wide smile when he saw a figure with snow-white skin passing through the hall's main entrance where the dance party was being held.All eyes once again followed the steps of Illarion Black, amazed by the physical perfection of the leader of the deadliest army in the entire Black Continent. Their breaths were caught as the Black Emperor knelt before a woman."Who is she?" "I heard she's the daughter of Duke Gree, but wasn't she sickly and had a child out of wedlock?" Question after question rolled in hushed tones, too afraid to voice out loud who the woman now offering her hand to the Black Emperor was. One wrong answer, and their heads might roll before they get a chance to find out.After Illarion gently kissed the back of Amanda's hand, he stood tall and led the girl with pink tresses onto the dance floor, accompanied by beautiful music.

"Max!"Amanda called nervously, startled and looking embarrassed, when she almost got caught kissing Illarion by a young boy and Virginiana."You're too young, ten years old, to hurt me, little boy," Illarion said, slightly annoyed because he could taste Amanda's cherry lips. "What is he doing? Stealing Mom's breath again?"Amanda's face turned crimson while Illarion laughed heartily upon hearing Max's question.The dark-haired man tilted his head, observing the little girl clinging behind Max. Virginiana appeared to steal glances fearfully, observing Illarion Black's figure. "Is it her?" Illarion asked Amanda. "Both of you look so alike.""Oh, yes, she's Virginiana!" Amanda exclaimed, shifting her attention to Max, still feeling embarrassed.Virginiana's face immediately turned pale as Illarion looked at her again, now knowing her name. The little girl bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears. Illarion knelt in front of Max and Virginiana."Allow me to introduce myself as the fath

"What?" exclaimed all the attending guests. They didn't expect the ruler of Anarka to attend this small tea party. Although Duke and Thomas Gree, noblemen and trusted aides of the Black Emperor, were present, it was unusual for someone other than the host's spouse to attend such a small tea gathering unless they had an intimate relationship with the host."Black Emperor is here, are any of these noble ladies capturing the ruler's heart?" Countess Synera asked, full of curiosity.Romantic relationships among the nobility were always intriguing to gossip about, especially when they involved higher-ranking nobles. And now, the Black Emperor, dressed in a dark maroon suit, walked along the path to the party venue, causing the hearts of the noble ladies to beat faster."Forgive my intrusion. I was passing by and decided to visit Duke Gree's residence briefly," Illarion said, trying to come up with an excuse, but the noble guests didn't care. The presence of the handsome man dominated their

Mathilda and Thomas seemed drawn to attention when they saw Kaliya, who couldn't stop smiling while holding hands with Amanda in Duke Gree's garden residence."She has sun-kissed skin spots just like Vivian," Mathilda murmured finally, and Duke Gree nodded with a sad look beside his wife."Are they just noticing this now?" thought Amanda. She felt Kaliya's hand tremble slightly in her grasp.Suddenly, Kaliya screamed loudly, pulling flowers and throwing them toward the Gree couple."Kaliya...," Thomas softly called out, no longer shouting, which caused the brown-eyed child to widen her eyes in confusion."Did I do something w-wrong?" she asked with a trembling voice. Subconsciously, Kaliya knew that if she were called by her name, she would be punished, as that had been happening to her all this time.Amanda immediately crouched down next to the little girl so their eyes were level. "You did nothing wrong, my dear, but it's better if you don't throw anything at other people because it

"Who?""Duke Alantoin Son, Ignatius Alantoin. Fortunately, that playboy was also sentenced to death by the Black Emperor along with his father, who was a loyal supporter of Queen Minerva," Mathilda replied angrily. "He is the flesh and blood of a man who opposes the Black Emperor."Amanda stared sharply at Mathilda. "Did you forget? My father is also a distant relative of Queen Minerva."Mathilda immediately choked. She, who had wanted to make Amanda understand why she treated Kaliya that way, felt attacked instead. Amanda immediately refuted Duchess Gree's statement."She is still a child. She is innocent, especially since she is your daughter's child, Duchess. She is your granddaughter-.""She is the reason my weak daughter died while giving birth! Her father deceived my daughter so that she would give up her virginity. My daughter, who never met anyone outside of wedlock, was left alone by that damn man! Even though my daughter insisted on giving birth to her child, even though her
