The king had finished his business with his trading partner on a new business he was about to establish secretly as an anniversary gift for his wife. However, Princess Elvira entered the room and asked for a few minutes from him.

"Let's talk outside," says Viishaun as he goes to the balcony. "Make it short and concise because my wife is waiting for me at the carriage."

"I'm here to warn you. The empress and the crown prince are plotting to expand their influence, and they want to conquer your kingdom after he ascends the throne."

"Now you're showing your true color. You are indeed the empress's lap dog."

"I am here to make a deal. I can provide you with the information to defeat the crown prince. I can also lend you a hand to steal the throne, but in return, you'll make me your royal concubine."

"Just how shameless can you get? Shall I exile you from my kingdom so I won't see your face ever again?" Viishaun replied with a cold gaze and sharp tone.

The king left the room and went back

    The queen returned to the chamber and found an empty bed. She thought that the king might be in his office, or maybe he found his action irrational, and now he's reflecting on it.Suddenly, Aileen felt like exploding again. "Holy crap, why do I have to be flustered over that kiss? We've gone far from just a kiss, so why am I acting like this?... Why is my heart beating fast for the real personality of the king?"She bit the pillow and shoveled her face on it. She laid flat on the bed, and glued her eyes to the stuffed toy, then slowly fell asleep.************The queen woke up and was still exhausted. She caressed the bed and noticed that Viishaun's space was neat as if no one occupied it. She jumped off the bed and covered her thin nightgown with a royal maroon robe. On her way to the hot spring, she bumped into Viishaun."G-Good morning, Viishaun. I'm heading to a hot spring to relax my body. Where are you heading to?" Aileen asked to ease the awkwardness crawling between them.A

    ~knock~knock"Come in," says Aileen without looking at the door."This is the last pile of documents you need to review, madam."The queen tidied the other side of her table to accommodate the additional papers. "Kindly put them here," she said and tapped the top of her desk."I'll take my leave now, madam.""Sure. Thank you," the queen replied.Aileen was busy calculating the expense of the districts and provinces belonging to their kingdom. When she was about to stamp the documents with her royal seal, her eyes caught a glimpse of a flipped tarot card in her drawer. She picked it and recalled Lady Khaleesi."I've given up on reactivating the 'love-bind' spell. I also abandoned the idea of leaving this world. But seeing this card makes me feel anxious for some reason," Aileen mouthed while stamping the documents.Once done with her duty, she placed the seal and stamp back inside the drawer and ensured that the card was safe inside the drawer. She stretched a little and stared at the

    "Let's have tea together, my love."Aileen grabbed the king and pushed the king into the couch. Then she said, "Sit still until the doctor's arrives." Little did she know, the doctor was already standing at the door. But could not announce his arrival because the king and queen were in their own world."I don't need treatment. My lovely wife is here already. One kiss, it will hurt no more," says Viishaun as he tapped the space next to him, telling her to sit beside him. "I don't know where you got that idea, but a kiss won't stop your wrist from bleeding," says Aileen while brushing her palm on her face."Your kiss will make me feel better," Viishaun replied, wearing his sweetest smile."That's not the point, Viishaun! Are you even aware that even a small cut could harm a person? Imagine having your arms cut," says Aileen, trying to make sense of her argument."Who will dare cut a king's hand? They may do so, but it will cost their life," says Viishaun, with a sweet tone and smiling

    Aileen woke up to the touch of a sweet and soft thing touching her lips. She opened her left eye only to see her husband woke her with a kiss as morning greetings."How's your hand, Shaun?""Shaun?" The king cleared his throat and sat straight on the bed."Oh! You're back to your old self. Let me have a look at your hand," Aileen reached his excellency's wounded wrist and sighed. Then she said, "I'm really sorry. How should I make it up to you? You can ask me anything; I wouldn't mind. I feel guilty seeing your hand with a bandage.""Take off my clothes," says Viishaun with a straight face."W-What?""Suppose you ask me in what way you could make it up to me. I'm asking you to help me change.""I see," Aileen replied and laughed awkwardly. Her delicate fingers started unbuttoning his white polo but soon stopped with the third button. She could not help but feel the heat as her eyes feasted over his slightly revealed chest.Her mind was screaming... 'Stop thinking impure thoughts. Get

    "I told you I can move my hand, so stop bothering me here in my office.""It's better to be safe. I want to take care of you," Aileen says while feeding his excellency with grilled beef.Viishaun wanted to protest but couldn't say no to her actions. He sort of finds it sweet and feels embarrassed by the eyes of the servants. He couldn't bear the feeling of someone babysitting him.He stood up and left the dining area. Then, head straight to his office only to find that the queen had followed her. She volunteered to do his paperwork. He silently watched his wife do silly things, such as catching the paper that floats in the air.He thought how useless he had become after associating himself with the Queen. His fast reflexes had failed him. He thought catching the lady was as easy as catching prey. He even injured his wrist this time. 'Never had I injured my body in the war, yet look what happened to me,' says a voice inside Viishaun's head. His mind was full of thoughts such as... '

    Aileen woke up to a strand of hair tickling her nose hole. She glanced at the guy sleeping soundly with his head resting near her chest. She sighed and recalled how hard she fought not to fall into temptation. And obviously, she failed.She recalled how his whimpering face had melted her heart. He looked like a puppy asking if her owner does not love him anymore. Aileen sniffed and smelled a fragrance of aloe vera on his excellency's hair. She brushed her fingers on his hair and asked, "Shaun, are you awake?"She jolted when Viishaun grabbed her hand and placed it on his cheek. "What did I tell you about calling that bastard's name in front of me?""I'm sorry. It's just that I was checking if you're still under the spell.""I hate it when you keep calling his name instead of mine.""What's the difference? It's just a matter of spelling.""You don't understand, but you're not calling the real me, and that's what makes me mad," Viishaun replied."Can you explain it in a way that I wou

    "What brought you here, your majesty?" The Crown Prince left his throne and bowed his head to the empress, his biological mother."It will only take time before your inauguration as the emperor, you should get rid of the possible pest that will threaten your position, especially that child..." says the empress as she greets her teeth. Despite Viishaun's stepping away from the palace, the empress and the crown had always been bashful against him. The two had always seen the second prince as a bastard child of a concubine, who would eventually steal everything from them.They always think that the second prince was acting uninterested in the crown and throne, but in reality, Viishaun was only waiting for a fatal opportunity to seize everything.Empress Viniah Ishie Pelluia Allandis had always been envious of how the emperor loved and took good care of the late royal concubine.

    Aileen noticed that the king had been quiet since yesterday. She keeps glancing at her husband and awaits if the king will talk his mind."I'll be leaving next week to inspect the late Vermillion's dukedom.""Vermillion? You mean your former lover?"The king glared at his queen and replied, "lover and betrothed are not the same thing. How many times do I have to remind you?"Aileen cleared her throat and cut the ham on her plate. Then, she only replied, "When are you coming back?""It would be a three days tour to finish the inspection and my business with the Vermillions.""O-Ok. Travel safely then," Aileen replied in a soft voice.Then an awkward silence filled the dining hall. If it isn't for the king, the silence would prevail. "It concerns allocation and developing that dukedom. I seized it. Hence from an independent dukedom, that domain is now ours.""Why are you explaining?""I am not explaining. I'm just sharing what my business there is all about," says Viishaun, denying tha

    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
