Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The day that the Charleston house joins the emperor for a meal arrives. *
The Duke and Duchess ride on the first carriage with Louis and Rubia following them in another carriage. *
"Are you nervous Lil sis...?" said Louis
"Ha-ha... I'm alright brother Louis." said Rubia with a fake smile
Rubia's POV -
Obviously, I'm not alright. I mean it’s not just anyone that we are on our way to meet... It's the Emperor...!
I've already prepared myself by studying the etiquette to be followed while eating and conversing but that's not enough... Hopefully he doesn't ask me anything much... I mean he’s just an old man so there won’t be any problems right...?
Meanwhile, at the Palace*
"Your majesty...Will your son the crown prince be attending as well...?" said the head mage to the emperor
"I've already asked of him to come...And why the sudden formal

Frederick's POV – My name is Fredrick Nicholson Lloyd Kennedy. My Mother's name was Vanessa...I don't know much about her but she was a woman that I detested. Mainly because she thought of me as nothing but a tool to get closer to my father, The Emperor. I never had a decent conversation with her but I knew from her actions that she did not think of me as anything more than a tool... The palace naturally felt as a prison for me. My Father was the Emperor of the Kennedy Empire. He was not someone who displayed affection in front of me but I don't think I ever disliked him... My mother had passed away when I was 4 years old. And ever since her death I've changed. I always hid my feelings because I came to believe that no matter how much I cry, no matter how much I plead, I am aware that I will never get affection. Since the Emperor only had me as an heir... I received the title Crown

I wish I had popcorn with me right now."I wasn't feeling well." said Rubia"Do you feel any better now?" said Fredrick as he placed his hand on her forehead"Huh...!? For some reason I feel a lot more... refreshed...?""Your body is really weak I helped out for now but in the future, you have to make sure not to build up your fatigue.""What's a fatigue?""It basically means that you lack energy... Anyways I've wasted enough time here. So, I should get going.""Wait... May I ask for your name...?""I'm Fredrick Nicholson Lloyd Kennedy."

Said Rubia as she spared a glance at the other heirs from Noble Families."Right...It seems you have someone who's eagerly waiting for you as well Lil sis...""Huh...?"She turns back to find Margaret smiling at her. *"I’

FOUR DAYS AFTER THE BALL. *Sarah’s Pov –Hngh... I'm tired.But I'm sure of the fact that I have almost completed the goal of changing the nobles view of me...And I got to witness the beauty of the towns. Though that was most probably because of Fredrick…Anyways, now that most of the events are complete all that's left… is to make up to Margaret for leaving her alone at the party…I mean those annoying nobles hadn't left me a chance to talk to her... And I had to wait till the meeting with the emperor to excuse myself...The conversation between nobles were quite confusing to begin with because they’d often make comments that have a double meaning in them. It was thanks to Baroness Joann that I was able to master the art of speech. If I hadn’t learnt all that… I’d probably be publicly humiliated among the Aristocratic circles for being an idiot&he

My mother had passed away during my birth because of her weak constitution and my father was worst hit by her death. When I was six years old my father had brought a new wife. I hadn't said anything because I knew the loneliness inside of him... My stepmother was not in the least bit interested in me but she hated me. because I was a child with legitimate blood whereas her son was the one, she had with her previous husband. I tried my best to get along with my step brother and my step mother but it was futile because only one who has the blood of Leonne can be the next head... As far as I can remember...I was harassed by my stepmother almost every day without my

She had a few scars on her body and she regained her consciousness after testing for a day.Since it was my fault, she was in that situation I asked the duke to allow me to remain by her side.Once she woke the first thing, she did was to curl up in her parent’s arms and then she called me to her side.

The Emperor and I had a small chat the other day and we came to a conclusion that it would probably be for the best that you and Fredrick live together.... Since you both are to be married in the future." said the duke "Dad... Did you by any chance feel the same way as the emperor...?" "Yes." Rubia's POV - This situation as a whole is just messed up... Since it is the emperor’s request, I never did have the option to reject. If I did, I bet all the Noble's will have the same thought "The Charleston House has gotten so Impudent so as to reject His Majesty's offer..." Seriously what else am I supposed to do. And just when I was getting comfortable with my new Family and this new Life... Duke Henry’s Pov

I am aware that almost everyone in this room despises the Southern Empire's Emperor for his foolishness and greed." said Damien"...?" The nobles stared with confusion at Damien having no idea what the consequences were of the words he uttered"I will be starting an internal revolt against the emperor." said Damien as he smirked"What is the meaning of this, Grand Duke?" asked the emperor"I am sure you all have your doubts about me, but you have to trust me when I say this...

He is a relative of mine from my mother's side of the family. He has been a friend of mine ever since I was young." "I see." "Why do you have a sudden interest in him, Sarah...?" "Fredrick... I promise you this, I will tell you everything once the Ceremony is over. Hiding things from you, the man whom I've fallen in love with is... Hard.

I've heard about them.""They are a family known for their knights and their loyalty to the Empire."Currently -Six ladies from Noble families will come for the interview. I am free to choose at least three or four out of the six but, I doubt there'd be a majority of the ladies who are interested in the job.They may have hidden intentions like spying on me or seducing Fredrick.But they would have to be stupid if they thought of me as a foolish naive Lady.

Previously - Fredrick, I do not think I have ever be able to understand you but, I sincerely wish for you to live a good life. You deserve that. Since, I read not only the original story but also the Altered version of the story where Fredrick is not the male lead but, the villain and Rubia is never brought up. It is kind of Ironic to know that Me and Fredrick do not have the relationship of Villainess and Male Lead but, Villain and Villainess. Currently - Sarah's Pov - I liked the novel 'True Love' for a lot of reasons but, I also found it sad because the author never displayed the emotions felt by other characters excluding the Male lead and the Female lead. The feelings felt by Rubia when she was waiting for her death while the man, she loves gets married to the woman she hated. Those feelings were ignored and cast aside. The author of the Novel 'True Love' had made

"The only ones who have Aura's are the highest of nobility." Currently - An aura. It was a term that was never used in the novel 'True Love'. Fredrick has nothing to gain from lying to me and I trust him since I know my feelings for him. But, how could the author not mention anything about it in the book...? Have the events of the book altered because of me? Now that I think about it... My brother and Lady Margaret have recently started going out with the family's approval. This was not the case in the novel. Louis was someone who had absolutely no interest in anyone other than Catherine.

They have their meal and take some time to talk about the Empire. * "Is it safe to say that the nobles have decided to heed the emperor’s warning to them...?" asked Sarah "I am sure you know that the noble's and aristocrats hate making choices or decisions that bring them a great loss. The nobles who plotted along with the Southern Kingdom were just trashy Counts or Barons who were about to become fallen nobles." "Of course, I am aware of that."

Ah! I'm so curious but, I what type of play it could be... an educational play...?That sounds like something that Fredrick would make but, the expression on his face tells me that it isn’t.I'm quite excited!"These are our seats. Wait for me over here. I'll meet with Jonathan (the playwriter)." said Fredrick"Sure but, you don’t want me to come with you?" asked Rubia"How about after the play?
