I became the king's obsession 89: Busted
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

Someone grabbed Aileen's hair; fortunately, the lady knew how to defend herself since Viishaun had trained her in the basics of swordsmanship. She let go of her husband's hand to swing her hand, and with that, she cut off the hand holding her hair. "Nice one, my queen." They were panting as they reached the middle of the path. Light from the entrance had signaled that they were about to see the world outside. "My queen, Do you love me as much as you love 'him'?" Aileen giggled and replied, "I love you more than I love Shaun. My earnest wish was for 'him' not to show up anymore.' Viishaun grinned and replied, "Fair enough." "How about you? Minus the effect of magic, are you certain that you love me?" "The response is self-evident. At the point when a man is in love, he needn't bother with wizardry to do insane things," Viishaun replied while panting. "There they are! Don't let them get away! Capture the lady!" "Let's hurry to the exit," says Viishaun as he squeezed their inter

The crystal had turned into a crimson shade. Then all of a sudden, an immense light has been finding fault in the crystal, slowly breaking it until it shattered."N-No! The sorcery... its energy should wander around before it completely vanishes into thin air. This means the medium and contracting party had died simultaneously."Lady Khaleesi's tears had flown like a river as she uttered, "The spell.. i-it's broken. I guess there's no stopping fate."Khaleesi was holding the deck of tarot cards in her hand. Then she said, "In the end, I couldn't save their soul at all. Dione, all your sacrifice was in vain. She couldn't escape death after all. On top of all, she put that lady's life in peril too."The wind blew hard, and a card on the wheel of fortune had appeared from nowhere."W-What... Why is this card here?" she asked as it landed on her feet. Lady Khaleesi knew it connotes the reverse flow and beginning of something. She added, "Could it mean..."

"Here, mom. Can we bring him with us?" Aileen tagged her mother to point out where Viishaun was."Oh my... he's pale and thin." Suzette gasped and pitied the boy, not knowing it was a member of a royal family in the Allandis empire who conquered the Vermillion kingdom and started a witch hunt. The late crown prince, Viishaun's uncle had fallen in love with Suzette, but the lady was in love with someone else. Anguish drives the late crown prince to blind anger; he hired someone to tail the lady. When he discovered that Suzette was a sorceress who was hiding a child from a clergyman in the orthodox church belonging to Allandis, he ordered to capture them alive and bring them to him. However, the crown prince, by that time, had an illness. And when he died, Viishaun's father ascended the throne and continued the search. Hence, Aileen and her parents had never settled in one place."He's too good-looking to be left here, mommy.""Wait... what? So, you wanted to save this fella who is a

"We're heading to Mimosa Island. How are you going back to your hometown?" Aldrin asked."Viishaun, dear. Where is your hometown?""A-Allandis," Viishaun replied with hesitation.The couple is taken aback by the mention of the empire that chased them."I'm afraid we can take you there. But there is a vessel on the other side of this road. From there, you may be aboard," Suzette uttered as she handed over a gold coin to Viishaun. She patted his head and said, "This is good enough for fare cost."They parted ways, but Viishaun had not been that far when he heard a group of bandits. He jumped into a bush and let the bandits pass. However, soon he heard chaos in the direction of where the family who freed him had gone.He picked up a stone before heading in the direction where Aileen screamed. Two of the seven bandits were holding Suzette, while Aldrin was busy fighting the rest of the four men.Viishaun threw the rock, which perfectly landed in the eyes of the bandit who was about to app

Aileen heard a sound that she thinks is a monitor for heart rate. The place was dark, but the last thing she remembered, she and Viishaun were facing the sun as it started to crawl out from the bed of clouds.She could not help but ask herself where she was. Then, the sound of a creaking door had called her attention, followed by footsteps and the sound of a baby crying. "Ssshh... sweetie. Mommy had not yet woken up. Do you wanna touch mommy?" says a guy who was holding a one-year and three months old girl."How is she?" a woman in her mid 50's asked."What happened? It has been three days. Are you sure nothing is wrong with my sibling?" says a lady who entered the room only a few minutes after the other visitor.Aileen could hear voices. She knew it was her foster family, her mother, and her older sister. She also recognized the guy was her fiance, but what bothered her was who was the baby? And, who were they referring to as 'mommy'?'Viishaun...' she uttered. However, it was all i

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
