"My Queen, where's our Alena?" King Alfred asked as he entered the carriage and sat beside the queen.
"I thought you fetched her already?" Athena asked.
"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. Shortly after, they went to the carriage and headed to the imperial palace to have tea time with the empress and emperor, whom they held gratitude for the fortune bestowed on them.
When they arrived at the gazebo of the imperial house, the royal princess was crying over her hairstyle.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Scheriziel asked despite knowing what their daughter's deal was.
"Mother, I would never let father touch my hair again. Look at what he did to my precious hair," says Venice Sharie, the nine-year-old daughter of the empress and emperor.
"Greetings, my lords." Alfred greeted the sovereigns as he bowed his head, which the queen and Alena followed.
"Sister Alena, could you please fix my hair?" says Venice as she embraces the daughter of the house Dwight, the ruler of the western region.
"I would love to. Sit down first."
Everyone was settled at the round table and shared a merienda handpicked by the empress.
"How's Aleandro? You didn't bring him with you?" says Scheriziel while sipping a jasmine tea, referring to Alena's twin, her former lady-in-waiting son.
"He went abroad last week. I tried to persuade him to study in our land, but he's determined to study overseas."
"I see. My Vinziel is also interested in studying overseas for four years or so, and he'll leave next week," Scheriziel responded.
"Prince Vinziel is leaving, your majesty?!" Alena reacted impulsively as soon as she heard the young prince leaving the empire.
"Relax. He'll be back after his education," says Viishaun as he forks out a slice of cinnamon cake.
"He didn't tell me about him leaving..." Alena murmured in disappointment. She was worried that the prince would forget about her during those years they weren't in touch. She stood up and excused herself, but before she could make another step, Prince Vinziel blocked her way.
"Where are you going, my lady? Leaving so soon?" Vinziel handed over a flower to Alena.
"I don't need this flower. If I knew... you'd be giving flowers to those foreign ladies. Your Highness, get out of my way," says Alena as she refuses to accept the flower.
Vinziel chuckled and replied, "You are cute when you're jealous. How about this?" He opened a velvet box and revealed a promise ring. "Will you still refuse this one?" he added.
"What is this?"
"A promise ring?" Vinziel replied, wearing a stoic face which he inherited from the emperor.
"I know. But why are you giving me a ring? Are you proposing or something? You aren't on your knees. I supposed it's not a marriage proposal." Alena was confused as she stared at the ring.
"This is not yet a proper marriage proposal, but I'll be back for your coming of age to ask for your hand."
Alena chuckled and replied, "You better be on your knees next time, your highness."

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

"Ready?" the man sitting nearby the filming site asked.Aileen paid attention to the clicking sound; the sign meant the camera was now recording. Hence, they need to play their part."Run! Escape! Save yourself," says the woman who was stabbed and bled to death. Her expression was a bit bland for someone who's facing death. Aileen thought at that moment that her fellow actress needed more rehearsal to fit her role."Cut!" The mad director stood up, and they had no choice but to redo the scene."Run! Escape! Save yourself."Aileen practiced well to execute a lady hesitating to leave as she watched her nanny bathed with its own blood.

It has been half a year, at least in the Allandis empire's calendar since there’s no telling if the time in her world equals the time in the empire . Aileen tried her best to escape these past two months but ended up being caught by her husband’s marquises.She sighed and raised her hand to block the sun rays emanating from the window in the bedchamber. “Is there really no way to go back to my world?” she murmured and decided to close her eyes again.She’s stock in the Allandis Kingdom, a portion of the Allandis empire on the western border.

"Madam, your bath is prepared. Since you have no lady-in-waiting yet, please allow us, servants, to help you while you bathe." "Thank you for taking care of me, but one person is more than enough, and the rest should go back to what you were doing. I'll call you if I need an extra hand," Aileen replied, wearing her sweet smile. "It is an honor to serve you, our dearest queen," The three servants replied in chorus. It was as if they had memorized every speech they had to say. Then, they bowed their heads to the queen before leaving the bedchamber. "Come this way, our dearest queen,” says lady Athena. Aileen followed lady Athena as they made their way to the extravagant lavatory. Everything in the palace looks expensive, if not made with gold, more or less made with diamonds. She still can't believe that this world truly exists. She only read it in the script way back when she used to film historical dramas, but now she's living a luxurious life in the real palace, not a rented old p

Some Marquises were against the king's decision of marrying the daughter of the traitor country of Lestinna. But, the greatest opposition to the marriage comes from the queen herself. She strongly refused to accept Viishaun's proposal and always sneaked out to her room, but she couldn't get away from the palace because the wall was high and impossible to climb up, thus the only means to leave was through the three gates guarded by Marquises. She has a lot of reasons why getting married to the king should be refused, such as; in her world, the 'Aileen' was already engaged to a fellow actor Flame Stephan Alvourde. One more thing, it's because he was 'King Viishaun Argus Allandis XVII', a killer king of Allandis slays and conquers bordering countries through the emperor’s order. He was a man who was born with wealth, prestige, and merciless-combat prowess. She blinked and fidgeted at the thought of having her neck detached from her. "He was the scary man who suddenly proposed to me,"

They had been to three bookstores in the town, but she couldn't find anything related to magic, sorcery, or whatever they called it in Allandis, and it made her wonder why such a thing had no traces."Gosh! If I have a cellphone, and if only this place has an internet connection, then browsing would have been easy," Aileen muttered, and the two people with her were perplexed after hearing her statement."Lady, it's almost sunset. His excellency must have been waiting for you at the palace," says the marquise through whispering in her ears."I guess. I'll come back tomorrow. Let's head back to the palace now," she replied in a voice just enough for the three of them to hear.Inside the carriage, the queen

"What did you do to me?" Viishaun asked in a cold-baritone voice, wearing a gaze that could shred the queen into pieces.The queen was frightened, and her body started trembling. He wears the same cold expression when they first meet. He has that aura of ice-cold thirst for blood."Are you going to answer me, or do you want me to cut off your tongue and be silent forever?!?!"Her voice won't come out because she wasn't sure what to say. She was too terrified, and it was more terrifying than a fellow actress bullying her. Aileen started weeping, and to her surprise, the king's expression shifted to a soft one.He reached her hand and held it, then asked, "My queen, why are you crying? Are you alright? Did I hurt you?

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
