King Viishaun could not focus at all. He stood up and almost threw all the papers he just finished before his secretary came in.

"Any news worth hearing?" He asked, cleaning his sword in front of his secretary.

"His excellency, the news about you and the queen at the gala had spread around the kingdom, and I doubt it would stop circulating among social circles. There is no reason to worry because nothing strange is going on. They are looking forward to seeing the queen, my lord."

"Any news about the imperial palace and shadow government?"

"They are all about the upcoming wedding of the first prince, and I heard the emperor will finally proclaim him as the crown prince."

"Keep an eye on factions. I'm sure they will try to use that event to cause a rift in politics."

"Yes, your excellency." The secretary left after that conversation.

Viishaun sat back in his royal chair and let out a breath that almost sounded 'Phew'

    "You d*mn drunk woman. Stop provoking me. I’m not Shaun.” Viishaun was holding back from turning on because he might not stop himself from his manly calling. He managed to open the door to their bed-chamber. The king tossed her to the bed and watched her body bounce on top of the bed. He didn't see her arms coming, reaching his neck. "Achkk---- Are you trying to kill me?" he said, arching his arms in the bed to support his weight. His chest is almost close to touching her boobs as she keeps pulling him. "Get your hands off me! Go to sleep!" He uttered in desperation because he was close to exploding as the queen's cleavage greeted him. "Get out! You're not Shaun. I only want to see Shaun. Go away and bring me my Shaun," says the queen, still looking messy drunk. He placed his palm on her eyes and told her, "I said sleep. Why won't you listen to me... the king?" "You like that woman, don't you? I get that 'Viishaun' must bear feelings for the princess. But I hate it if 'Shaun'

    "We should make that bastard Viishaun off our empire. What if he's planning to ruin the proclamation day? I heard he stationed assassin marquises to serve as his eyes. Moreover, he has the backing most from parliament. We can't sit still and watch him gather underlings to control the monarch.""You're right, mother. He probably wants to get the crown. He is aiming for the throne I should inherit. He had always been competing to get our father's attention. We can't fall at ease, not until I became the emperor. Good thing we have the backing of other Nobles and Aristocrats. Moreover, we have the orthodox backing, the church's influence will come in handy for us." Vincreste Argus Allandis XVI replied.Vincreste Argus Allandis XVI was the first son of Emperor Argus to his political married wife— empress Viniah. On the other hand, King Viishaun Argus Allandis XVII was the second son and last offspring of the emperor to his royal concubine—Margauxxe Zepheus."His Royal highness had always

    "Madam, you look beautiful. I bet the king will fall head over heels with you again," says Athena while clapping her hands and adoring the queen. Aileen blinked her eyes and stared at the figure of a woman wearing a pink gown, accompanied by a white-pink slashed cap sequined with white and pink crystals. The queen smiled and replied, "It depends." 'It depends... if he's Shaun. Then he'll surely love the way I look right now. However, if he's in his usual self, he'll simply shrug his shoulders. That guy doesn't have a sense of appreciation,' says the voice inside Aileen's head. "What do you mean, madam?" Aileen failed to answer the maid when an interruption occurred. "What's taking you lo—" The king barged in unannounced but almost dropped his jaw. He used to see his wife with average attire, still beautiful, but today she looks like an expensive statue. "Shaun? Do I look weird?" Aileen asked, caressing the crown in her head. She felt awkward wearing the heavy crown made of pur

    "Your excellency, the queen had received a pile of invitations. What should we do about the envelopes?" the secretary asked."Burn them all and tell them the queen is busy with the kingdom's financial affair."He was busy checking the tax and security reports in his jurisdiction, but he lost focus after the secretary brought up the queen. He slapped the desk and stood up, which made the secretary jump in surprise."Y-Your excellency, is something bothering you?""Uhm... the queen, where is she right now?"Viishaun left his office and did not wait for the reply of his secretary. He bumped into the maid who was always with his wife. So he asked, "Where's your madam?"The maid bowed her head and replied, "Your excellency, the madam has been in the library since this morning."The king headed to the library and stood next to the threshold. He crossed his arms and uttered no word, but his head was stuffed with thoughts... 'What's keeping her busy all day? Moreover, Why am I here? What's

    "What's with that shabby clothes again? You're the queen of this kingdom, so you should start acting like one. Spend at least 500 gold coins every month." "Pardon?!" Aileen asked. "What's so shocking about spending your monthly allowance?" The king crossed his arms and stood impatiently. "Should I be spending other people's taxes? This is way worse than the corruption in my world," Aileen asked, hesitating to obey the King's order. It does not feel right for her to spend other people's hard-earned money. "This is how this world works. We, royal families, have privilege, and responsibilities go hand in hand. And if such privilege can't be trusted with you. Then, you have no right to such responsibilities," Viishaun replied. "I don't understand why spending money is a responsibility." Aileen scratched her jaw and tried to make sense. "You have dignity and image to impose. Are you telling me to let the queen of this kingdom wear shabby clothes and poor accessories? Do you want th

    The queen stared at the garden as she passed and stood on the vanguard tower. Then, Aileen had remembered the leaf on her hair. She sighed and muttered to herself, "I shouldn't have listened to that book." The rationale why she went to the garden that day was to get a butterfly as part of the preparation for casting a spell. According to the book, she has to burn red petals of rose and Butterfly's antennae. At first, it's too cruel to do that to an insect, but despite her conscience bugging her not to waste the creature's antennae, she still proceeded, following the book's mandates. 'If it wasn't for that leaf. I wouldn't have mistaken Viishaun from Shaun,' is what her mind jogging circles as she makes her way to her office. "Madam, are you going to start working now?" says Athena, who Aileen had bumped into. "Yes. I will start reading what I should do in my office." "Don't worry, madam. The king will bring in a lady-in-waiting/finance adviser to work as your alter ego, so you do

    ~knock~ knock~ "Madam, I brought you a cup of tea. May I come in?" "Sure. Come in," Aileen replied. "Hmm... Athena, when will be the new moon? Also, is there any lake nearby?" "Full moon? Lake?" Athena looked at the queen, wearing a perplexed reaction. "Well, I want to watch the moon in the middle of a lake." "That is so romantic, madam. Are you going to watch the moon with his excellency?" says Athena as she pours a drink for the queen. "N-no. I want alone time," the queen replied as she sipped from the teacup. "By the way, please finish this snack and my drink. I need to see the king," she added. The maid left and Aileen grabbed the opportunity to hide the book, then locked her office as she left. "It's not like I can leave without his permission," she murmured while making her way to the office of the king. All of a sudden, she bumped into a tall guy. "Madam, I'm sorry! Please don't be mad."

    At first, it wasn't his intention. Viishaun did not mean to cut his wife's hair like that, but it was the method he could think of to ensure she was all right.However, the problem began when the queen got too close to him. His mind went blank as soon as he had her delicate frame against his body and her sweet soft touch indirectly caressing his heart. Every single thing about the queen had driven him wild. It made him fail to think straight. The king didn't want to be enslaved to such alien feelings any longer, so he cut her hair without thinking it was already too late to realize what he had done. He could have just cut off his button or taken off his coat... but the damage had been done.After she shouted in repulsiveness, his vision went white with the sudden flashing of light. It was similar to the wide range of various times when he'd fall under the idiotic spell. But... nothing occurred. No 'Shaun' seemed to quiet her down with his cringy tooth-rotting lines.He thought it mi

    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.

"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
