Bride of the Dark Prince XLVII
Still ignoring Illarion, the old woman spoke to Amanda again. "There are still many noble men who will like you Lady, even if you look strange. I'm sure there are still many noble men out there, with smooth bodies although maybe not as handsome as this bodyguard of yours.""My Galela! Come here honey, I've made breakfast for you and our guests," shouted an old man from outside the room.The old woman -Galela- growled. "Look? That's what happens when you marry a man because of his good looks. I'm a noble's daughter who eloped with a gardener, she has no manners and is always shouting to call me," Galela vented while showing her toothless mouth."Galela! Dear! My wife!" Again a scream rang out from outside.While hunched over because of the bone loss experienced due to old age, Galela got up from her seat with the help of Amanda. "Yes! Yes! Damn old man! You're so annoying! Look? Here's an example if you marry a man for face not money, and puff! only a few moments until it becomes old w

Amanda placed the empty bowl on the small table, then grabbed Galela's wrinkled hand. "Madam is wrong, I am the one who comes from a lower aristocratic class than Master," Amanda explained with a smile.Galela's wrinkled lips form the letter' O'. "Aren't the bodies of nobles usually so smooth? Their parents could not allow their children to work until the body-""Galela, I told you you always misjudge people," the old man interrupted, rubbing his wife's shoulder. Balton then sat down next to Galela, "he's a knight. Only war soldiers have such wounds on their bodies.""I think the handsome man got the wound when his employer whipped him for stealing the heart of his favorite daughter. Even though her daughter is extraordinary, I'm sure she doesn't have anyone who likes her," Galela whispered to her husband, but it was useless because everyone in the room still heard her voice."Old woman! Watch your talk,s he's not weird! Even very bea-," Illarion cut off his sentence. "Very ordinary.

"I owe you my life," Illarion said later.Balton smiled. The remnants of the good looks that Galela fell in love with are still real even at his much older age than his wife. "No, I'm the one who paid off my debt."Amanda and Illarion stared confusedly at the old man. Balton chuckled before answering the question that flashed across the couple's faces. "Your horse, wasn't he the one who led you here? It seems the animal wants me to pay off my debt. I only realized this this morning when I saw the mark on the horse's back."Illarion still didn't understand what the old man meant."I'm a twenty bronze man," said Balton. "You may have forgotten that you were in your twenties at the time. A little boy leading a group of troops, it's extraordinary."Balton's dark eyes were still staring at Illarion. "That horse, you bought it when it was used to drag my body down the street by my master, Galela's parents. Then after spending a lot of money on that horse, you also bought me 20 bronzes, 300

"What are you doing?" asked Illarion as soon as he entered the kitchen. The man rested his chin on the table before a pile of apples blocked Amanda's face.The girl who had been peeling the apple smiled. "Are you well, Sir?" she asked. Amanda seemed more relaxed outside the palace."He's blind? Can't he see you're peeling an apple?" interrupted Galela."I'm bored in my room," replied Illarion as he picked up an apple and took a bite. He was trying to ignore Galela."Look at that, he doesn't help and he just want to eat," quipped Galela again."Try it," Amanda offered, handing her a cake plate. "Master- I mean grandpa picking apples in the forest and I making apple pie." Amanda corrected her call to Balton because the old man insisted on being called that. While Galela doesn't mind anything, she likes Amanda to refer to her as 'mistress'.Illarion glanced at the cake plate, his subconscious mind always asking, 'is this cake poisoned?' But looking around, there were only two elderly peo

"Don't you want to hear your wife's answer and make up your mind?" teased the old woman to Illarion."Galela!" called Balton, then shook his head. His wife sometimes needs to learn which things she shouldn't talk about."Sorry," Galela mumbled, then continued munching on the cake as if nothing had happened.'If he could raise a child, he would no longer be with me,' thought Illarion. 'However, with whom are you going to take care of the children?' A quick question resurfaced, making Illarion's chest seem tight. 'Will you be happy afterwards?'The elbow-jawed man then sighed as he cast his gaze at Balton. "What do you do?""I sell forest products. Then, once a week, we sell to the city," explained Balton while pulling Galela's plate.The old woman immediately pouted."But now the competition in the market is getting tougher. The goods from the Walls kingdom are much cheaper," complained the old man."Since the Queen reduced the entry tax from various kingdoms, market competition has be

After breakfast, Illarion and Amanda say farewell to the house's owner. Balton gave them directions before they left so as not to get lost. It turned out that the old man had already marked some trees that indicated the direction to the nearest town.The tropical rainforest to the east of Anarka has trees with dense leaves, forming a canopy that blocks the sun's rays. As a result, the forest is dark and peaceful. Although according to Balton's account, the journey from his home to town took more than half a day, and they were only halfway there. It was likely that Amanda and Illarion would reach the nearest city after sunset.Hence, after a few hours of quietly riding the shire thoroughbred horses, they decided to take a break."A-are you okay sir?" asked Amanda after being helped down from the pitch black horse by Illarion.A crooked smile appeared on Illarion's face. 'Treating me like glassware, even though your body is so fragile,' Illarion thought. "You?" asked Illarion back, watc

The combination of masculine citrus and sandalwood scents with a stout, muscular body creates a sexy aura that dominates Illarion Black. But unfortunately, it makes Amanda even more embarrassed, and her heart flutters wildly. "I-I'm scared," Amanda answered briefly, trying to look at the night beads that were slashing at her. "Afraid of heart disease and death when I see M-master ..." continued the little girl who was now immersed in the confines of the man looming in front of her.Illarion burst out laughing at Amanda's clear answer. 'Heartache and death, he said?' Illarion grabbed his stomach from laughing so hard. He had never felt this happy before. 'She's the cutest girl he's ever met so far. Why is bothering her so much fun?'"So you think my good looks can kill you?" said Illarion between laughs.Amanda glanced at him in annoyance, then turned her eyes back to the ground. 'I don't know what to say, so I accidentally spoke the truth, but why is this guy's reaction so annoying?'

'Yes, like that, but more whispering and sighing.’"Master… master!"'I want her to scream my name instead of calling me 'master.' Illarion's eyes were now glaring at the girl, filled with a haze of lust. 'I want her now.'"Master? Shall we continue our journey?" Amanda asked somehow for the number of times. 'Why does that guy keep looking at me but don't say anything, is he okay?'"Tsk! What was I thinking!" Illarion rambled, which made Amanda's eyebrows knit in confusion. The man with thick eyebrows then answered Amanda's question with a short word. "Come on."During the trip, the friction between her body and Amanda's body made the vanilla scent from the girl's wet hair intoxicate Illarion's sense of smell, and it became a torment for the man with the black hair.***Just as the Black Prince had originally predicted, they arrived at the city as the day turned night. But a carnival welcomed them, and it seems that the birthday party of the ruler of Anarkali was celebrated by all the

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
