Can somebody guess who's the masked person is?
After all these weeks the palace had to deal with the unruly King Emilio, the place finally found some peace when Emilio finally returned with the unconscious Ariana in the king's luxurious horse carriage. Emilio didn't hesitate at all as he took Ariana to his room, while the royal doctor and several of his assistants immediately followed to carry out follow-up examinations on Ariana.Maybe because Ariana didn't just suffer physical injuries, even the royal doctors had a hard time getting Ariana to come to her senses, no matter how hard they tried. Even if all her wounds had been treated properly, perhaps due to stress and the previous unsterilized wound, the royal doctor had to work to the death just to keep Ariana's condition stable.On various occasions, Ariana is seen opening her eyes and occasionally delirious. However, she never really woke up and continued to be in a dangerous state during their journey. Emilio had no idea how nervous everyone was because of Ariana's bad state.
The people in the palace thought Emilio would feel better if Ariana came back to her senses. After all, now everyone knew that King Emilio highly valued Ariana. The man was even willing to lock up his mother in a secluded castle, just because she had tried to harm Ariana before.But their guess was wrong, as Emilio looked worse after Ariana regained consciousness and was getting better. On the first day Ariana finally wakes up, the two are seen talking together before Emilio suddenly comes out of the room with a scary face. Emilio destroys anything in his path until the man finally tired himself and stops doing whatever he wants.Meanwhile, Ariana, who was left in the room was no less strange. The girl never intended to do anything about Emilio's unstable condition. Ariana just kept quiet in her room and didn't do anything because Emilio had made an order forbidding Ariana to come out of her room.With the deteriorating relationship of the person who was expected to control Emilio's e
After Carla left the room, Emilio finally returned to fully focus on Ariana. The man patiently kept Ariana's favorite food in front of the girl. While he was taking some food for himself to eat."Ana, can you guess why I've been busy lately?"Emilio always did this, whenever he visited Ariana's room. The man was just telling Ariana about his day, while Ariana just sat there without the slightest interest. But no matter how long Ariana ignored him, Emilio would continue to talk as if he was happy just to see Ariana hear his voice. This time too, Emilio remained in a good mood, even if Ariana didn't answer and continued to eat her food quietly.“I worked hard to take care of the matter of transferring power from Duke Andrew to his heir. Ana, I have officially announced that you have become the Duchess of Alison from now on. But for your safety ... We won't have a celebration because I'm afraid someone will hurt you if you leave this place."Ariana's movements immediately stopped when sh
“Ana, don't forget that you are only allowed to wander around my palace. I'll be back as soon as my business is done. See you later, Ana. Please remember that I always love you.”After the incident where Ariana finally smiled again, Emilio began to feel that Ariana had opened her heart to him again. Now he didn't hesitate to say how much he loved Ariana and to show his feelings for her. Ariana still didn't reply to all those words like before. But thanks to the girl's previous smile, Emilio thought that the time when Ariana would forgive his actions would come in the future.After Emilio left in a good mood, Ariana's face, which now rarely had an expression, slowly turned into a worried face. The girl tried to mentally prepare herself before she walked out of her room confidently.“Your Highness, are you going out?”Ariana already knows her greatest obstacle besides Emilio in the royal palace. The royal knights were Emilio's greatest strength in the palace. They were people who only o
Emilio lightly massaged his forehead when he got the income and expense report from the Sigmund Kingdom's Minister of Finance. To please the nobles so that Emilio's position was safe in the past, Queen Melisa appointed corrupt officials who were easy to manage as important government officials. As a result, the kingdom's income continued to dwindle while its expenses were enormous. Emilio gets a report that some nobles are asking for the kingdom's help to rebuild their territory. But when Emilio went out to look for Ariana, he found no progress in the territories the nobles were referring to.Emilio pounded his desk hard. He knew that he had been toyed with again, even if he had tried his best in this life.“Your Majesty, is there something wrong?”Marquess Daedalus as the new prime minister asked when his king suddenly thumped the table loudly. But his expression soon broke, as Emilio threw the stack of report papers straight into Marquess Daedalus' face.“What did you say is wrong?!
When night fell, Ariana, who had been sleeping all afternoon, finally woke up and found that Emilio seemed to have visited her room as usual. Next to her bed, Ariana could see a stool set facing her. Ariana breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was lucky, Emilio had returned to his room when she finally woke up.Seeing the moon that had already risen above her head, Ariana hastily got up from her sleeping position. If what Carla said in her letter was true, the woman would infiltrate her room after midnight. Even so, Ariana still wondered how Carla had managed to infiltrate when the door was always guarded by two royal knights, while the window connecting Ariana's room to the balcony was always locked in the absence of Emilio. Ariana was involuntarily in a tense position as she thought that. Even though she did need to meet someone to discuss the current situation, Ariana still didn't want Carla to risk her life just so they could communicate inside the palace.Ariana waited a long
Mornings in the palace are always filled with busy servants who work hard. No matter where one looked, one would see servants busy doing their respective duties.At the beginning of every month, a freight carriage would come to the palace to carry orders made by the palace people. From food, cloth, to souvenirs, everything arrives at the palace at the beginning of each month. The schedule naturally kept all the maids busier than usual, until when Carla offered to help, none of the servants refused her offer.Just like the others, Carla helped the servants to secure the newly arrived items. But while working, Carla's eyes couldn't stop looking around her. The woman made sure no one saw her first before she approached Greta, who was already at their rendezvous point.“Aunt Carla!”Growing up in a healthy environment made Greta grow up to be a bright and smart girl. The girl looked very relaxed, as she approached Carla and immediately hugged her tightly.“I miss you, Auntie! Are you all
“You may come inside, Miss Greta.”After Greta uses her connections to go to Alodie's territory, the girl is finally allowed to meet Marquis Curtis after Greta mentions that she brought news about Ariana. By the butler of the Alodie residence, Greta was brought into the private residence of Marquis Curtis. The butler escort her into the living room, where Marquis Curtis had been waiting for the girl there.As soon as Marquis Curtis saw Greta, a gentle smile appeared on the man's face. Marquis Curtis invited Greta to sit down. The man's style from start to finish was polite, even though Greta was sure Marquis Curtis knew that she was a commoner who did not deserve the respect of a high-ranking noble like the man.“I heard you have news about Ariana. If I may ask, how did you know Ariana?”Although Marquis Curtis maintained his politeness, the man certainly couldn't help but be suspicious when someone suddenly came to his residence to talk about Ariana. It could be, at this moment, Marqu
