I became the king's obsession 123: This feels familiar
"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

"Stop following me around if you'll just keep asking me that question!" Scheriziel yelled from the gigantic window on the second level of the mansion. "Alright. Come here instead. I have something for you," says Viishaun, luring the lady from the opened window to descend and come to him in the garden."You shady guy. I know you'll just corner me to ask what passionate romance I wanted from you. I already told you, I don't know!""Alright. I won't ask again. What matters is you stopped saying you won't marry me. I guess, on my own, I have to figure out what it takes to have a passionate romance, and in return, I'll have your hand in marriage, right?"The passing servants giggled as if they were watching a romantic stage play. Meanwhile, the secretary was cringing after witnessing the bizarre way their rulers communicate with each other."What's with their loud conversation? Are they intentionally slapping my broken love life?" The secretary asked, feeling salty because his recent re

Viishaun touched his lips and recalled Scheriziels sweet lips. He couldn't remove the accident from yesterday, but he heaved a heavy breath, worrying that the lady will avoid him again which she had been doing since yesterday."How am I supposed to ease the awkwardness between us? She wouldn't hate me for that, will she?" he asked while preparing to get things done in his office."Your excellency, were you not on good terms with her ladyship?"Athena asked as she served breakfast to the king in his office. Viishaun cleared his throat and looked away. Then, he placed his arms below his jaw while lazily mumbling, "I supposed her ladyship is avoiding me.""OMO! I don't know what has happened between you two. Your excellency, if her ladyship is avoiding you; do something to make her less awkward with you. Letting her avoid you will only expand the gap between you two.""Precisely. That's what is on my mind, but I haven't decided yet what approach is best as of this moment.""Let me help y

The illumination of bugs and fireflies sparkles all over. The king and his lady were in the boat. Scheriziel soaked her hands to feel the cold waters of the quiet lake. She had no idea why the king brought her to Lake Silencio all of a sudden. "This feels nice," says Scheriziel. Then she lifted her gaze to witness the eye-catching beauty of the full moon and added, "Why did you bring me here?" "You were once here. You may not remember, but I saved you from almost drowning in this lake," Viishaun replied. "So, you brought me here to make me reminisce about something, is that it?""No. This place is special to me because it is when I realized I couldn't let you leave my side. I've always wanted to come here again with you.""I-I see." He was slightly embarrassed by the gentle sheepish expression on the king's face. To remove the awkwardness between them, she changed the direction of their conversation. "You mentioned that I almost drowned in this place. What exactly was I doing at t

"Let's stay here for a while. Thinking about the wish you mentioned, I'm curious... if you believe that magic still exists in today's era. Why don't you wish for me to fall in love with you? Wouldn't it be easier for you to get my hand in marriage if you do so?" she asked to test his excellency.Viishaun flinched and was caught off-guard. He did not expect Scheriziel to ask such a question. "I don't like that. I want you to fall in love with me, just like how other couples find their partners admirable. I already had my spoonful of hesitation back then because I knew falling in love with the intervention of magic was somehow insincere. On top of all, it makes me feel like I would be wasting this chance to have you sincerely."Scheriziel smiled and uttered, "But I guess it's fine; if a wish is by both parties. With all due respect, if there's something you'd like to wish, what would it be?""Hmm... would it be fine if it's concerning you?" Viishaun caressed the back of Scheriel's palm.

Scheriziel was confused as she found herself altogether with the king in a mystical place. A place protected by thorns and venomous snakes guarding the main entrance. 'Huh? What am I doing here with his excellency? Also, where on earth are we?' she asked herself, but her mouth muttered otherwise. She could hear an exchange of conversation between her and the king. Then a black butterfly called her attention. Her body moved without accord and followed a black butterfly until they arrived at a small house. A lady was standing at the door. Next to her were the squirrel and the black cat. The black butterfly had rested on the lady's shoulder.“Come inside, my dear," says the lady. Scheriziel squinted her eyes and realized who the lady was.'Wait, isn't it Auntie? What is she doing in a place like this?' says her curious self.She blinked her eyes, then suddenly the place turned into a river. She was wet and busy brushing the hem of her clothes. Suddenly, the king sneaked behind Scheriz

Scheriziel was sleeping peacefully, with her hands hugging a bolster. However, she thought it was weird cuz' the bolster seemed to be breathing warm next to her face. 'Weird... since when have I had a bolster smooth like this?' she asked herself, only to keep her question in mind. She squeezed it a little and almost screamed in surprise when a sleeping man revealed next to her eyes as she slowly opened her eyes. 'OH! MY GOSH! WHY IS HE LYING IN MY BED?' the voices inside her head were in chaos. She decided to close her eyes and pretend to be still asleep. In the back of her mind, she's hoping that his excellency will wake up and leave the chamber because she doesn't want to deal with the awkwardness. While waiting to hear if his excellency had woken up already, she asked herself how she ended up back in her chamber. As far as she could remember, she was at the glasshouse, sulking over how Viishaun neglected her for the whole day. 'Did his excellency bring me back to my chamber?

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

"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
