They passed through veins and rocks. The king was riding a horse at a crazy speed, leaving the marquises behind. Suddenly, his excellency saw a faint sight of butterflies shining like a golden ball of fire.

"This light and butterflies... it must be... Hyaaah!" He giddy up faster, like the speed of light. He jumped off his stallion and followed the butterfly.

He wasted no time as his eyes set on the lady arching in pain. It looks like the queen strived to crawl out from the mouth of the cave, thus he easily spotted them.

"Halt!" Viishaun yelled, trying to stop the former princess of the independent domain from laying siege on his wife. His heart was throbbing as he watched the mad lady swing her sword and aim at Aileen.

"Die!!!"

'Damn it! I have to save my wife!' He was too focused on how to block the blade of the sword.

The king jumped and embraced the queen, only to receive the blade. He flinched while trying to hide the pain from his bleeding back.

    "Any good news for me?' says the crown prince while sipping a glass of ottoman rice wine. "I had to silent the lady, your highness."Crown prince Vincreste gritted his teeth and replied, "So, she failed.""Yes, your highness. The king and his marquises arrived and successfully rescued the queen. Any moment from now, the carriage that carries her corpse will arrive at the imperial palace.""What a pain in the ass. It will mean new work for me. Anyway, now that we've come to this, my little brother will surely not stay still. I can't wait to see what he's up on his sleeve.""Your highness, I have another thing to report. However, you might find this ridiculous."The Crown prince smiled like an evil waiting for a dark prophecy. "I find ridiculous things attractive.""Your highness, there was light! It is bright, and it is out of this world.""Hmmm... light?""It's coming from the queen! I can't explain it, your highness, but it's not just me who saw it... Duke Fedelin was also there!"T

    Aileen slightly opens her eyes only to get flustered by the sight of a bloody woman lying next to her. She wanted to scream but there was no voice coming from her mouth."Surprise... Have you forgotten about me?" Aileen can't move her body, nor lift a finger. She's stuck watching the horror of being caressed by a bloody lady."If you had not shown up, he would have married me! All my sacrifices were in vain! I choose to be his queen rather than the crown princess. Viishaun and I would have been a lovely couple! I would have been the mother of his future children." Aileen's head was exploding with tears and screams that had been trapped. "Die!""No!!!!!"Viishaun was already on the other side of the bed to enter the chamber when he heard his wife hollering. He immediately ran to her. He sat on the edge of the bed to wake her up."Wake up, my queen." "Let go of me!" Aileen finally made her voice escape from her mouth.

    "So, how did the investigation go?" Viishaun asked while reading reports about the rising rebellion in the Perisia gulf."The maid testifies, and it looks like they're innocent. Besides, the queen came to see them."Viishaun sighed and massaged his forehead. Then he said, "Let them assume their work." He can't bear hearing his wife going to the detention room, only to get lonely for missing her maid."I don't think an ordinary assassin does the dirty work. Those marquises were above average despite short experience in warfare," says the butler's son, his excellency's childhood friend and one of his trusted marquises."I believe we need to investigate this further.'"I forgot to tell you that the few marquises had seen a bright light nearby the scene when we found the abandoned carriage.""Light? Aren't those guys mistaking it for a bolt of lightning?" Viishaun replied, pretending not to believe."I guess so.""Anyway, have you compensated the family of those deceased marquises?""Yes,

    "Aren't you bored doing nothing today?" Viishaun asked while cuddling the queen."Not at all. Why did you ask? Also, why are you still here? Aren't you busy with the investigation?""Yep. I just miss you so bad. It's my cheat day today. How about we practice archery so you could throw arrows at our opponent?""Are you sure it's fine to cheat on your busy day? Should you be initiating training at this moment?""We're still waiting for the results. It's not a bad idea to use my spare time practicing with my wife.""O-okay, if I'm not a bother, then let's head to the field.""You'll never be a bother. I love you with all of my heart. You mean the world to me," Viishaun replied as he kissed Aileen's cheeks.When they leave the main mansion to go to the field, they bump into busy maids and marquises.Aileen was still a little uncomfortable seeing a lot of marquises patrolling all over the palace. She can feel the tension accompanied by high security."Do it like this," Viishaun demonstrat

    The sky was consoled by the sweeping of mists that showed up not too far off, creeping gradually across the sky, at last slipping across the Moon and shutting out its brilliant light. Outside, in the recently fallen dimness, the world had been changed. The sky had turned into a flickering embroidery of stars. And, the man was watching it, standing firm, holding his sword attached to his waist. He was reluctant to leave yet. But he needed to negotiate with another federation to secure support against the imperial palace and his crazy brother. "Your excellency, are you sure you won't bring me with you?" his closest marquises asked. He feared that his excellency might meet trouble on his way to another domain. "I'm entrusting you to protect the queen," the king replied. The butler's son, his excellency's most trusted marquise, gave up on accompanying the king and only heaved a heavy breath as he realized the king's intention. He knew that there must be a highly skilled marquise to gu

    As soon as the marquise arrived, the word about the crown prince's action had reached his excellency's ear. "What's the situation when you left the palace?" Viishaun asked. He is thorned between staying for a bit to finish the negotiation or leaving now."His highness had surrounded the palace, outnumbering our marquises."Viishaun knew nothing good would come out of his brother. He stood up and uttered, "Attend the meeting in my stead. It's me whom he wants. I cannot delay my return. Prepare my horse now!"His body was trembling from fear of what might happen to his vassals and wife. On his way back to his domain, he bumped into his wounded marquise general. "Your excellency!"The king halted the horse and asked, "What happened?" "I barely made it out alive. His highness ran havoc in the palace by sending thrice our battalions, but we killed half of them. Then, the rest had suddenly left," says the leader of the marquises. "I'm such a failure. I couldn't keep my word after all," h

    "What are you doing here?" the empress asked Viishaun as soon as she saw him when she closed his royal highness' chamber."Your majesty, I need an audience with his royal highness," Viishaun replied. He bowed his head and was about to kiss the back of the empress' palm, but the lady shoved her hands off."He is resting. Come back later," the empress replied. "I need to see him, your majesty," Viishaun replied, but it only irritated the empress.Empress Viniah squinted her eyes and crossed her arms. Then she uttered, "Do you dare disturb your ill father, or it's just that you have no respect for me as your mother?"Viishaun was just about to reply, but the crown prince interfered."Oh, look who's here to visit his royal highness. It's been a while. You rarely visit our father, so what brings you here? Perhaps, it's something related to your convicted wife?" says the crown prince, wearing a smug look on his face.Viishaun glared while trying to get a hold of the last strand of patience

    Hundreds of men died, including the butler and Athena. The king was full of anguish as he watched his people bury in front of him. His heart was shattered as he put flowers in each body. He had killed people too, but only the remorse he felt for them was for the families who will be affected. Compared to the far-stretched narration that he was just a mad bloodthirsty killing machine, he was actually just a lonely guy who had no choice but to obey the order of the royal highness which includes annihilating the threat to the empire. He does not kill without a cause."Your excellency, we have lost a lot of marquises. Hence, there's no way we can win over the military might of the imperial house.""Exactly. I'll infiltrate the palace before dawn," Viishaun replied. He may have gone nuts, but what can he do? He couldn't think of any abrupt means to take his wife home."N-No! What if you got caught? Even if you are well versed in warfare, there is always a limit to your sword fight."Viish

    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.

    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
