I became the king's obsession 117: The decision is yours
The sky started to project every one of the varieties overhead onto the water. The light started to sparkle increasingly bright to dispose of the dimness. The dawn made the water flicker, and the birds calmly fly over the water, twittering, and the breeze falling off the water was so delicate. Aside from birds chirping, there are also giggles from a young man and lady. It's familiar yet weird. Just when the young man closed the gap, Scheriziel suddenly opened her eyes. She touched her chest, and it almost ripped her rib cage as soon as his excellency's image appeared in her head."I don't know what is this warm and weird feeling inside me. If it's love or simply admiration. Maybe, unconsciously I was mistaking this love feeling? But how would I know if it isn't love yet?" Scheriziel uttered while lying lazily in her bed.Scheriziel isn't sure about her feelings yet, but she's not denying that maybe she's slowly falling for his excellency."This isn't just a feeling of being grateful

"Madam, I don't think you should be doing this," says the gardener."Madam, please let the gardener do that," says one of the maids. They were worried that the king might mistake them for letting the madam lift a finger."Madam, we beg you to stop because we might get in trouble.""Don't worry. I'll make sure you guys are not in trouble. You see, I'm in the middle of self-reflecting, and I wanted to keep myself busy too."She had dropped the water can for a moment and thought that she had heard the same statement before. "Madam! Are you hurt? OH No! the hem of your gown is wet.""It's alright," she replied, still not getting over with the Deja vu. Then, she caught a glimpse of a newly budding red rose."Madam! Your finger is bleeding!" The maid made a huge fuss over a subtle cut on her finger when she touched the rose with a thorn.On the other hand, Viishaun who is on his way to the garden to meet the lady had seen Scheriziel pressing her finger, letting it bleed."My beloved, are

"Your excellency, you seemed in a good mood today," says the butler as he prepares the carriage. "I can see a ray of hope. I can hear a sweet harmony of birds chirping," Viishaum dreamily replied. The Secretary's eyes had almost bawled out from his socket as his ears bled from the King's statement. He glanced at the butler, only to receive a shrug from the senior servant."Where are we heading, your excellency?""To his royal highness and Orthodox church. We're going to plan a grand wedding three months from now.""If you're going to plan a wedding, should you be leaving madam in the palace?" says the secretary, but Viishaun was talking to himself. Therefore, he did not hear any of the secretary's statements.'Looks like she has no plan on going back to performing. I don't want to hinder her from things she had been doing when we have not crossed paths yet, but it breaks my heart to let her go. I am glad she seems to get used to living in the palace, but it's too early for me to rel

Sleep was avoiding Viishaun. His mind is full of thoughts that keep him awake. A happy memory from the past keeps bouncing and pounding his head. He glanced at his window, staring at the moon. "I don't know what's best for you anymore, my Scheriziel. This heart of mine is becoming more selfish as my fear of losing you this time," he muttered, still having his eyes on the full moon."It would be better if you remember the good ones in our past, but I can't force that to happen; if fate itself would not allow it. We can always start fresh. I hope you'll be happy even without those memories," he added.He stood up and walked to the glass garden but did not expect to see a lady shining in the shadow of moonlight. Everything around him moved slowly as the lady turned around. Her long hair sways perfectly that even his heart had swept away.He thought his world had stopped when the lady smiled at him. Her moonstone eyes shone the same light from the moon."Can't sleep?" she asked, walking

"Greetings, your royal highness." Scheriziel bowed her head to show courtesy to the man of the empire— his excellency's father.The emperor nodded his head and studied her ladyship's poise which made the latter nervous."Your royal highness, should you be leaving the imperial palace? Worry about your health instead of wandering around," says Viishaun. He glanced at the maid wearing a pour-his-royal-highness-a-jasmine-tea- look."I wish to see the future empress as soon as possible, but you keep playing safe. Leave this lady with me, and proceed with your administrative work.""But.. your royal highness.""I won't scare your bride-to-be, so leave us now."Viishaun stood up and glanced at Scheriziel. The king sighed and asked her ladyship, "Will you be alright if I entrust you with my father for a while?"Scheriziel smiled and nodded despite hiding her fidgeting hands below the table. "Alright. I'll be in my office if you ever need me." He kissed Scheriziel's forehead before kissing th

"I'll be back later. Thank you for lending me this carriage."Viishaun smiled, and after the lady left, he summoned two ladies in marquis attire."Go after her. Make sure she's safe," says Viishaun as he turns his back and heads back inside the mansion.He secretly raised two ladies as marquise to watch over the lady. Having ladies as a guard is convenient because they can go wherever Scheriziel is, even in public lavatories. He's just paranoid that the lady will be in danger if no one is guiding her. Although the people behind their futile past had a lie six feet below the ground, his anxiety had never left him.Viishaun resumed his work. Later on, he noticed his secretary was acting strange. So he asked, "What is it you hesitate to tell me?""Your excellency, the lady might be offended if she were to discover that you stationed marquise to tail her," the secretary suggested as soon as his excellency asked what's troubling him.People hate the feeling of being watched, he knew that,

"What are all these dresses and pieces of jewelry?" Scheriziel asked as parading luxuries presented to her; the moment she left her room for breakfast."They're all gifts from my father," Viishaun replied."Huh? But I don't need them. You already brought a lot for me. However, his royal highness would be offended if I were to return them, would he?" Scheriziel asked while slicing a tender roasted duck."Yes. I suggest you wear one of those gowns one day if we visit the imperial palace. He would be delighted if you do so," Viishaun replied.Scheriziel was about to speak but had interrupted when she saw two lady marquises pass by the dining area. She recognized those ladies from the market."You hired new marquises? I think I saw them yesterday. Something's fishy... are you perhaps tailing me?"Viishaun cleared his straight and straightened his already prim posture. "Well, I just want to ensure your safety. As long as you are my guest, I cannot allow you to go outside the balance unguar

"What could be that thing?" she mumbled, heading towards the display. She accidentally removed the cover and was surprised to see a family picture."Is this Viishaun in the middle? The beautiful woman beside the young boy must be his mother?" she muttered as she picked up the silk.She couldn't get her eyes off the portrait while keeping words trapped in her mind. She asked herself; if the lady is alive, what would she say to her? Will she allow her son to marry a woman out of his whim? What would she think about having a daughter-in-law like her?""She's gorgeous.." she added.Scheriziel jolted when someone behind her added, "Indeed. But you're also beautiful."Aileen sighed and talked to the portrait, "Ma'am, I would like to apologize for not being a royal lady you could be proud of as daughter-in-law."Suddenly, she heard him saying— "She wouldn't mind it, you know."So, she asked, "Did you just say she wouldn't mind it?""Huh? I said you are beautiful."Schereziel thought she had

Flame Stephan was staring at the family portrait hung on their wall. He heaved a heavy breath at the thought of remembering how he almost thought of breaking off the marriage a week before their marriage, but his fiancee changed into someone else. "It was as if she's no longer Aileen," he murmured to himself. He recalled how their relationship started rosy just like any other couple but turned static and cold as Aileen prioritized her career over him. For him, their marriage was only for the sake of the years they've been together, but one day the lady became innocently sweet. "Buddy, you may laugh at it, but I think I just fell in love deeper with your mom while hesitating to marry her back then. I thought I had fallen out of love, but it looks like we only needed to start a new journey to find our way back to love," he said to a two-year-old son, their third child. He put his son on the sofa and asked, "Who's that cutie in the picture?" Then the baby simply giggled while starin

Side story 00 "My Queen, where's our Alena?" King Alfred asked as he entered the carriage and sat beside the queen. "I thought you fetched her already?" Athena asked. "I thought she was with you," Alfred replied. "Wait here. I'll fetch her," says Athena as she descends from the carriage. She knocked at Alena's room and asked, "My dear, what's taking you long?" Alena turned around and glanced at her mother. "She hasn't dressed yet?" Athena asked the nanny assigned to take good care of the heiress of the western region. "I don't know what to wear, mother. What gown do you think would make me attractive?" Athena chuckled and replied, "You still have four years before your coming of age. Should you be concerned with being attractive at the age of fourteen?" "Of course, mother. I can't show up to the imperial family looking unattractive." "Let's head out now. You don't want to make Vinziel wait that long, do you?" The young heiress looked away to hide her blushing cheeks. Sho

The garden of Allandis imperial palace was packed with invited nobles and aristocrats to celebrate the seventh birthday of the prince. Some guests truly wish to greet the prince, but of course, there is an ambitious family who dreamt of settling close ties with his royal highness' son to gain favor. It is undeniable that social gatherings were one of the paths to the social ladder. Hence, it is like a battlefield instead of an ordinary celebration. Thus, the marquises are on high alert to ensure the safety of everyone. Since the empress is fond of flowers, she decided to use her beautiful garden as a venue for her son's birthday which took her a week to finish the interior, with the helping hands of servants. The table clothes are decorated with the usual embroidered sparkling diamonds attached to the hem of each blue cover, and on top of the tables are gold cutleries and dishware. Those with a vulture eye that captures the unspoken wealth displayed had assumed amassed fortune

The ocean side gives off an impression of being alive and happy with the presence of relaxing vegetation. There are evergreen estates both along and inside the ocean side. Pictures of light ocean growth should be visible along the shore. Palms trees stand tall along the ocean side getting into the rhythm of the breeze radiating from the body of the ocean. Moreover, there are hued blossoms close by, magnificent ones that light up at the sparkling of the mid-year sun. "Look how magnificent the ocean is," says Scheriziel while letting the sun kiss her cheeks. The royal family decided to have a one day vacation, free from all responsibility. However, the little one seemed to dislike the place as the prince plastered a disappointed look. Then, he crossed his arms and furrowed his brows while saying, "This beach again? Can't we go somewhere else, mother and father?" "This place is memorable for us that's why we always visit this place once annually. Don't worry, we're going somewhere els

Scheriziel rested her head on the emperor's chest as they soaked in the hot tub. Then she asked her husband, who was silent and staring blankly at the water. She said, "Are you alright?" "Yes. It's just that I'm quite sad about my old man's demise," Viishaun replied. It was not just the emperor; the whole empire had filled with a heavy heart as the former great leader bid goodbye for eternity. After fighting with his age and ailment, Argus XV left the world. The empress embraced her husband. Then she patted his head buried in her plump chest. She dared not utter a word but comforted him through her acts. "I've been mad at him for years because he has never been a good father to my younger self. I only felt reconnected with him after going back in time." "At least you two had lived well in this second life of ours. I'm sure he is happy wherever he is right now." "Right. I'm glad that my choice in this life turned out fine. At least he gets to see and play with his grandkid," he r

"Let me see your smile for a moment before I do my obligation later, my prince. Your father and I had to take turns to watch over you because we had to finish our duties and responsibilities," says Scheriziel while letting a one-year-old prince play with her fingers. Prince Vinziel giggled when the empress lifted and carried him. Scheriziel sighed and uttered, "We probably should spend more time with you because you will not always be this little. Once you grow older, you'll find your own path, and the time you'd spend with us will get shorter as you age." Someone knocked on the door and asked permission to enter the prince's chamber. "Your majesty, the paper for the foundation you asked for yesterday was waiting for your approval." "One moment..." the empress replied as she left the prince's chamber to visit the former emperor's residency. "Come, my sweet Vinziel," says Argus as he faintly sits on the edge of his bed. "I'll be back to fetch this little sweetie pie, father. He

The empire was filled with joy as the commemoration of the six-month-old offspring of the emperor and empress was currently taking place. As part of the tradition, a royal baby can only be baptized and shown to the public once it reaches six months. "How long will it last? I think our little prince will start crying any moment from now," Scheriziel whispered to her husband's ears. "We're almost back to the palace. Give me our little prince so you could rest your arm," says Viishaun as he gently carries the baby into his arms. He chuckled and added, "He's smiling now. It looks like my handsomeness works on him." "I hate to admit it, but it seems our little prince was quite unfair. How can he always be always in a better mood with you than with me? It was me who had him for nine months, yet he still likes you the most." "That's what you get for always picking a fight and making me run errands," he replied, recalling how hard it was for him to get a peaceful sleep before the little

With the curtains slightly opened, the sun is revealed – shining big and bright right back at the couple awaken by its cozy greeting. Scheriziel slightly opened her eyes as the sun kissed her skin, only to get lazy again at the beginning of another day."Rise and Shine, my life. We need to do a little exercise to prepare you for delivery," says Viishaun, reminding her of things they should do early in the morning. Then he kissed his wife's forehead, down to her nose and lips. "Five more minutes," her ladyship replied, still refusing to open her eyes again.Viishaun sighed and thought he wouldn't force her to take a walk and do a little stretching if it won't help her fast delivery. Scheriziel groaned and uttered, "Fine. You don't have to kick my inside, sweetheart."Viishaun chuckled as he helped the empress sit on the edge of the bed. Then, he took a royal robe to cover his wife."Soon, it will be the three of us walking here to greet the sun and clear sky," says Viishaun, holding
