It has already been a minute of silence, when I felt these ominous feelings a few miles away from the border of Westernian Empire. I stood up, then walked towards the window. I put my hand on the window, then concentrated.“We must evacuate,” I said, then looked at Prince Benjamin.“Why?” he asked.“They are almost here,” I said as I panicked a little. Those creatures have been released.“Calm down and tell me who’s almost here?” he said while he’s gripping both of my shoulders, then looked into my eyes.“Minotaurs… A hoard of Minotaurs are a few miles away from the border of this empire,” I said.“Minotaurs are in Glascius Mountain, which is in the farthest north-east of the empire,” he said.“But they are on their way here… there are a hund- no, a thousand of them and if we will not stop those minotaurs, then everyone in the village will be in danger,” I said, but he looked at me like I’m lying.“Clementine! We have a problem!” Leo barged in together with Blaze, Valentine, Zia, and
I opened my eyes, sat up, then looked around. Where exactly am I? I sat up, then looked around. This is not my room. I heard the door open, then it revealed a maid. "My lady," she said, then she went back outside. "Where am I? This is not my room, but it looks like a room that was already prepared for someone. “My lady, you’re awake,” I heard the maid, who just entered the room, said, then she immediately left the room. I moved a little to the side, then put the shawl near my bed on me. I stood up, but ended up falling to the ground. I sat on the ground, then put my hand on my head because it hurts. “Clementine?!” I heard Leo’s voice. “Where is she?!” I heard brother Noah ask someone, then I heard their footsteps getting closer to where I am. “Clementine!” Leo shouted, then he carried me and put me back on my bed. “Why did you get off the bed?” Leo asked. I looked at him and saw his furrowed forehead, but I can see in his eyes that he’s worried and did not sleep that well du
“Clementine,” I heard Leo’s voice as he tapped my shoulder, that’s why I opened my eyes. He’s sitting at the side of my bed and he just removed his hand on my shoulder, then I sat up. “I apologise for disturbing your slumber, but the emperor ordered me to wake you up once everyone in the palace is asleep… he said that he wanted to speak with you,” he said. “I will change, wait for me outside,” I said, then he nodded. He stood up, then left the room. It has already been 2 days since I rested and everyone treats me like a princess here. Well~ I am the real princess, but it kind of bothers me since no one knows my true identity yet except for brother Noah. I’m already done changing my outfit, that’s why I got out of the room and was met by Leo who’s holding a magical tool to give us light. “Let’s go?” Leo asked me, then I nodded as an answer. “Why does he need to speak to me in the middle of the night?” I asked. “I am not sure, but I think it might be because of the letter of appr
I felt the sunlight on my face, that's why I sat up, then opened my eyes. I looked out the window, then saw that it’s already around 7 in the morning. I got off my bed, then washed my face using the water near my bed. I wore my shawl, then opened the veranda of my room. Someone knocked, then I told that person to come in. “Good morning Clementine,” Leo greeted me as he entered with a cart of… I suppose my breakfast. I walked towards him, then helped him arrange the food. “You should have ordered the maids to do this,” I told him. “In the centre palace, you do not know what will happen… they might poison your food or not, that’s why I prepared it myself,” he said, then he pulled out a chair for me. I sat on that chair, then he sat on the opposite side. I took a spoonful of the soup and I can say that it’s delicious. “You made this?” I asked and I couldn’t believe that a prince like him knows how to cook. “Yes, why? You can’t believe that a royalty like me can use the kitchen and
“We are glad that you came back safely,” Valentine said.We are now walking in the academy’s hallways and patrolling the school. It has already been a month and the rules have been changed and everything is back to normal now. There has been a dispute between me and the fake princess, but that doesn’t bother me at all.I get closer to Bruce and as we are together, I cannot feel his aura. Something powerful is blocking it.“Where’s Bruce?” I asked them.“He did not show up this morning and I have never seen him visit me in the imperial palace and so does in our duchy,” I continued.“Maybe he has something to do regarding his position as their family’s heir stuff,” Sabrina asked.“Give him the paperwork for next week… all of it,” I said, then she nodded.“Clementine!” Brother Noah shouted as he waved his hand.We curtsied and bowed down as we greet him.“May I take your president away for a while?” brother Noah asked them.“Of course, your highness,” they replied, then brother Noah held
It’s been almost half a month since Clementine went missing. I was planning to surprise my little sister together with our cousin, Noah, at the Academy, but when we got to the student council’s room, she’s not there and Prince Leo told us that Noah dragged her away from them after asking if he could be with her. That’s odd because I was with Noah the entire time that day and he never left my sight. We were in his palace when that happened and planned to visit Clementine and know how she’s doing. When Prince Leo learned that Noah’s with me the entire time, he immediately knew that Clementine’s in danger. He teleported to their guild that day and when he came back, he told us that she did not go there. Leo tried to telepathically call for Clementine, but to no avail, she did not answer his call. I am currently in our duchy in the Northern Territory and told my father about it. Why did I just show up now? That’s because Clementine told me that if she went missing, I should find her firs
On the same day, they arrived on the southern territory and barged into the southern dukedom.“Your majesty! What’s with the knights and also with Grand Duke Whistleton?” the southern duke asked.“Let us search your dukedom… we have heard that Clementine, my niece is in your underground prison,” his imperial majesty straightforwardly said, then signalled all of the knights to search the dukedom.“Your majesty… I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you are trespassing my property and territory,” the southern duke said.“Do not forget who’s in front of you Duke Vanice… you are speaking with the emperor and not just the young lord of Duke Whistleton,” Grand Duke Whistleton said as he pointed his sword towards Duke Vanice, the Duke and owner of the southern territory.“You do not have the empress’ permission to search my dukedom,” Duke Vanice said as his anger showed through his furrowed forehead.“The empress gave us the permission to look for her… my daughter and her majesty, the
"How is she?" Young duke Damian asked. He's always visited Clementine since that day and so does the others, but it's sir Damian who's coming here more often. "Still not yet waking up, sir Damian," I replied, then he sighed.It has been 3 weeks since we brought her back and everything seemed normal. The academy was opened once again last week and the investigation was still in process. The sky was already clear, but we still don’t know what might happen when she woke up.We do not know what happened on that day that she was kidnapped and only Clementine can answer that. We may have had a lead, which is when Bruce was captured, but that's it. The investigation was now under a minimum one. They set it to that so no one will speak nor gossip about it. We made an excuse that Clementine was sent to the Kingdom of Phusis as an envoy and there's something that the emperor wanted her to do in that kingdom, but in reality, she's right here and still in a deep slumber. The emperor sent a lette
“Why did you become so formal all of a sudden… Now that you will be the emperor, you must not be formal to me… you will not just become the emperor, but also, you will be my husband… that way I treat you and the way you treat me will be equal… Now, stand up, because I have great news to tell you,” I told him as I held his hand. He stood up, then I saw his smile. “I am just wondering… what is this good news that you’re talking about? You’ve been telling that since earlier,” he asked. I smiled at him, then he looked confused. I put his left hand on my belly, then smiled. “You’re pregnant?” he said, but he doesn’t look like he’s happy about it. “Did that bastard that you killed perhaps did something wrong to you?” he asked, then I laughed. “No!” I replied. “Then is it Leo’s? Did that shy boy and you…” he said. “No! We did not do that! You silly emperor!” I said. “Then who is it?” he asked. “It is yours and Leo’s” I replied which confused him. I walked near him, then put both of m
Marcus had arrived on the scene together with the demon king and his father, the Grand Duke. They saw Princess Clementine, laying on the ground and Chris, the enemy’s half body, was inside the ice that Prince Leo made and having no life force.The sphere was preventing Prince Lucas and Prince Leo from trying to break the sphere. They try everything that they can, but it cannot be destroyed.“Your majesty… kindly give some of your dark energy to her highness… she, will therefore, wake up from her sleep,” Marcus told the king.“How would you know if that will work or not? We don’t even have any idea what kind of curse was used on her,” the demon king asked as he looked at his child, laying on the ground.“That is what she, her highness, ordered me to do… her highness told me that your dark energy, even a little or half of your energy will be able to wake her up… Only her highness would know if the curse was lifted or not,” Marcus replied to the king. Even though the demon king is confus
CLEMENTINE’s POVI remember everything now. Why did I do such a thing? I might have hurt Lucas when he saw me here for my cold greetings to him. Why did I choose to forget about him? Maybe I am so mad and felt betrayed for what he did that’s why I chose to forget about him.Anyway, I went back to the palace and prepared myself for the coronation. I will execute everything now and it is the same day that Chris planned to use me to kill my dad, but everything that he planned will all be for nothing because I will end his life now.I haven’t spoken with anyone in the palace except for Marcus. I told him everything that he needed to do.“Your highness… please be careful once the banquet begins,” Marcus said. Esthee’s not here, that's why another maid took over her place in fixing my hair.“I will try, but I cannot promise it because you know that I will finish what I had started,” I told him, then stood up as my hair was already fixed. I told the maid to inform my father that I will be wi
CLEMENTINE’S POVI was walking with this demon named Chris in the village. He’s telling me what he wants to happen. He said that he agreed to be one of my concubines and spare me and listen to everything and anything that I want once I killed my dad, but that is only when I killed my dad.I already know that Marcus told them that I am in the village because I told him to tell them anywhere I go, but only when I told him to.I don’t know why Prince Lucas is here because I did not include him in my plan, but now that he’s here, I need to revise my plan. I don’t want to drag the others into this fight. Only I can or capable of killing Chris.“Your highness… Are you listening?” Chris asked me.“I’m sorry… I am just thinking how to execute your plan,” I said, then smiled.“Don’t you worry about that dear… we can think about that in the near future, but today… let us celebrate your change of mind,” he said while smiling evilly.“Clementine!” I heard Leo’s voice, then I looked behind us.“Lo
It has been a week since that incident happened. Dad put more knights to follow me, and uncle Roger also assigned some of his knights to guard me. It was inconvenient, but dad and he has the right to do that because I did something that could or might kill me. I know how precious I am to both of them, but I am getting bored nowadays.I cannot leave the palace without my dad’s permission. I can go to the village, but I need 10 knights to follow me there and that’s inconvenient for me.I am also addressing Duke Roger Devious as uncle because I accidentally said that word before I lost consciousness. Marcus and Esthee treat me like I am their child which is also inconvenient because I cannot do what I wanted to do like if I want to go in the training field and train for the whole day, they are going to scold me and tell me that it is not good for my health. They are expecting a son soon, that’s why I am not stressing Esthee that much which may lead to her miscarriage.Anyway, I am curren
"Your highness, you have called for me?” Sir. Roger said, as he closed the door. It has been a week since Marcus performed his oath. I also speak with Sir. Roger and Pi about the conversation that Marcus and I had that day. I forgot to put a soundproof barrier that time and I heard from Pi that I forgot to put it in my room. That's why I asked them not to tell my dad about it. Gladly, they promised not to turn me in. “It is time for me to depart… distract my father,” I told him. “Are you sure that you don’t want any escorts? You may take Marcus if you want,” he asked me because he’s concerned that I might be hurt. “Don’t worry… I told you, right? That I will call for you if I ever are in danger,” I assured him, then he sighed. “I will speak to my friend now… please be safe and stay away from harm… you’re just like a niece to me, so please don’t do something that might kill you,” he told me, then I nodded. “I will,” I replied, then he teleported. I prepared myself to meet that ma
“Your highness… please… I really don’t know anything… we never saw each other this morning,” Esther pleaded for pardon.“Why would he disappear without a notice?” I asked as I casually drank my tea.“I had no idea, your highness… please pardon my husband… please pardon our family… if you would like it, I will perform the oath to risk my life if we ever try to harm your highness,” she pleaded as she bowed low to the ground.“What’s going on here?” I heard dad ask. I felt Leo’s presence coming towards me, then I felt him kiss me on the cheeks.“I tried to summon Marcus again, but there’s no response… I can clearly feel his presence in this world, yet there’s no sign of him,” I told them.“Esthee’s like that because she thought that I would kill them if she doesn’t tell me where is his husband, but I will not do anything to them whether she know where he is or not,” I continued.I saw Sir Roger help Esthee to stand up and calm her.“Come on Clementine… let’s walk around the garden,” Leo
“Leo!” I shouted, then hugged him when I got near my fiancè. He hugged me as well, then when we broke our hug, he held my right hand, then kissed the back of it.“It’s been a while! How have you been? How’s your health?” I asked Leo.“Why did you disappear from our world?! How did you end up living here?! Don’t you know how worried I was when I woke up and heard that you’re missing and they cannot feel your presence?!” he shouted, but I can feel that he’s worried about me.“Oh… I was kidnapped, then the next thing I knew was that I was inside the demon king’s prison and then here I am, acting like their princess,” I replied. He sighed because of how calm I answered his questions.“Please don’t ever do something that will make us worry… especially me, since I don’t know what he might do to me once he’s conscious enough to remember everything,” Leo said as he held both of my hands.I smiled, then nodded.“Your highness… his majesty has called for you,” Sir. Roger told me.“Let’s go Leo,
“Why are you here?” he asked. “Because I wanted to inform you that my finacé will be visiting this world once he recovers,” I told him. “Tell Pi to come back here and do his job as this palace’s chamberlain,” he told me. “Why me?” I asked. “Because you’re his master now… you have the power to control who he reads minds and that’s the proof that he’s already become one of yours,” dad explained. “But Pi still has some few things to do in the human world… but may I bring Minus here?” I asked him. “Marquess Ilca Noarem Usain Sloven?” dad asked. That’s quite a long name for a single person or demon. “Who is that?” I confusedly asked. “This man,” he said, then he showed me a picture of the demon that he’s talking about in the air and it was Minus. “That’s him,” I said. “So he also went to your world,” he said. “I think so, and he destroyed quite a few properties in our world and I dealt with him,” I told him. “Haha, typical of him… anyway, I am not quite sure if he will be workin
