Bride of the Dark Prince XIX. "What She talking about?"
"You're kidding, right?" Amanda knew it wasn't a joke but discussing about taking someone's life, Amanda hoped that this dialogue was just a joke. After all, Madam Croiz was the first good person to put her at ease in this palace. ‘I hope she can rethink what she wants to do.’ Madam Croiz looked disappointed at Amanda's question. "Well, I hope you will open your eyes widely and take a good look at who the monster you are marrying really is," the plump-cheeked woman hissed, and before she left Amanda's room, Madam Croiz whispered, "Don't ever ask him anything. Whoever is in this palace, they are all loyal accomplices of the Black Prince. Your mistakes can be reported and executed immediately.” Amanda nodded, she felt a burning sensation around her blistered skin again and heat began to spread over her body. ‘I think I'm going to have a fever tonight.’ Three days had passed since the last time the Black Prince had set foot in the King's private chamber. This morning, the man knelt b

Illarion promptly bowed in salute, Amanda following behind him. The girl was almost unsteady, her head was hefty, and her hands were getting increasingly sore as if thousands of thorns had stabbed them. "Amanda, how are you? I was disappointed that you weren't with Illarion to see me this morning," said King Abraham. Illarion shuddered at his father's hospitality. "I’m in good shape, Your Majesty..." Amanda answered with low voice, sounding uninspired by Illarion. This lady responded to the King indolently?! "Hmm… Are you guys not getting along?" asked King Abraham. When they heard the question, Amanda and Illarion immediately looked at the bed covered in maroon mosquito nets. The King chuckled at the young couple in front of him. "As expected, this heavy and gloomy air turned out to be a young couple's quarrel. Quarrels at such a young age of marriage are very natural," explained King Abraham. "Want me to teach you the most effective way of making up?" ‘Killed her?’ thought Illa
Bride of the Dark Prince XXI. Who are you?
The man's heart seemed to have stopped beating when he saw the burns on the palms up to Amanda's arms which were covered in sleeves. Now Illarion could feel Amanda's body temperature was scorching. Illarion's attention returned to the burn on Amanda's hand, and a sudden fear crept up his back. Illarion immediately pulled Amanda into his arms and carried the unconscious girl out of the Majesty's room. Without being polite and saying permision to the King. Illarion dashed to where the royal medics were. "Don't die… don't die… hold on!" he repeated. Amanda was in his arms, barely breathing. *** The dark curtains drawn by the Black Prince immediately blocked the twilight color that looked like embers from the bedroom window. Illarion hated the sight of the orange light so much that it made him remember the cruel things that had happened to his life fifteen years ago. Amanda is still asleep, but her fever hasn't gone down. Illarion sat on her bed, staring at Amanda. "Listen… I'll never

Amanda's purple beads widened in fright. "Sorry sir, I don't understand what you mean, sir.""Who are your parents?""Ba-baron Broke," Amanda stuttered.She didn't even cover up that her father was a 'baron.' She wasn't a maid in that house. If she lied, she would say the same thing as her father if they were 'duke' class aristocrats. "Who's Gisella?" asked Illarion, again."My sister."Illarion's eyebrows rose to one side. Her sister? Why was she treated like that by her sister? They do not seize each other's territory. Illarion increasingly does not understand, and maybe she is just having a bad dream of being enslaved by her family. And why should I worry about her dream?"D-did I do something wrong, Sir?""No," replied Illarion to the girl in his arms. Several minutes passed, and the big man had not moved from his position. Illarion did this unconsciously, his eyes roaming every inch of the tiny figure beneath him. The beautiful Amethyst beads, the long curling eyelashes, the high

"N-no… not me, really," Amanda replied frantically. Madam Croiz! Amanda turned to where the butler was."When you came, I thought you were not a good person. But, as soon as you arrive and eat without waiting for the Black Prince, you have no respect for our Master," blurted Madam Croiz.I didn't even eat when I first came until the next day. So what does Madam Croiz mean?"You also asked for a room change, even though our Prince has been kind enough to share a room with you. You really are an ignorant person."So I moved into this room not because I was kicked out by the Black Prince? as Madam Croiz said."As if it were lacking, when food is provided you are so willing to burn the orphaned maid, because the food is not to your taste," Madam Croiz slandered and began to shed tears. "You also tell them to drink poison so they can't testify, until they die. And it doesn't quite get there, Lady slanders the Prince, even now poisoning him!""Sir..." The pale-skinned girl hung her sentence
Bride of the Dark Prince XXIV. Same Room
It wasn't long before the servants came in and cleaned up Madam Croiz's body. Amanda was still in Illarion's arms. The man's embrace seemed to want to reduce the trauma that Amanda had received, but that was impossible. She had never seen anyone killed before her own eyes—although in this case, Amanda had her back to the victim—apart from her blood and the blood of an animal she was about to cook, she had never seen such a pool of blood from a person's body."You move to my room, it seems this room can no longer be used," said the Black Prince as he let go of his arms on Amanda."Same room with him? I'm too afraid even to refuse," Amanda thought, and along with that thought, the petite girl's vision darkened. She returned unconscious because she could not see the blood that almost filled the corner of the room. Illarion efficiently carried the girl like a light feather pillow.That night Amanda did not dream of anything, somehow she fell asleep very soundly. Amanda's eyelids blinked t
Bride of the Dark Prince XXV. Maid
Several maids started to look at each other with frightened eyes. It hasn't even been a week since the Black Prince has lived in this palace, but they have buried three bodies. Will there be a fourth corpse today? The servers' minds in the dining room were filled with such thoughts.The black cat chased its tail for a while before eating a piece of grilled chicken from the Black Prince's hand, "Smart boy," Illarion praised. "You should set an example as your Lady, eat heartily whatever is served," quipped the Black Prince.Realizing the satire, Amanda immediately filled her plate with dishes on the table and ate it. A sweet smile rose from the Black Prince's lips, and all the servants stared at the scene, not only because of the sweet smile that the Black Prince rarely showed, but also because someone had just been rude to the Black Prince, but instead of being punished the girl was also invited to eat?What's wrong with our lord? Ask all the servers in the dining room in their hearts
Bride of the Dark Prince XXVI. Trauma
"Adam!" shout Amy. "Do not exaggerate.""Can Monsieur Adam explain to me?" Amanda asked excitedly.The question took Adam and Amie by surprise. "She doesn't realize she's being humiliated?" asked each of them silently. They didn't know that Amanda had been used to receiving such treatment for most of her life. Even worse.Adam smiled disdainfully. "Okay, I will teach slowly so you can understand. Though it looks like it will spend twelve full moons remembering the brain-""Adam!" cut Amy again.Amanda just smiled innocently at that. She was so eager to learn that the girl was not allowed to go to school after her mother died."Education is not important for a woman," said Baron Broke. Even so, Baron Broke still allowed Gisella to stay in school - but Amanda did her homework instead."Well let's start the lesson for you, madam," began Adam.***Andreas drew his sword at the Black Prince, but the man quickly blocked it."You have to watch out for him sir!" Andreas exclaimed as he again

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
