Mathewβs Point of View β
I was given the name Mathew Harrison Theodore Leonne by my late father.
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

Also, I'd appreciate it if you did not bring our marriage into it." said Rubia as she struggled to cut the piece of steak"I have no intention in forcing you...

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 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 emperorβs 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." "The one thing every noble fear is making a rash decision which may lead to the Family's downfall in the near future. They who have been labelled with th

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?
