Amber's POV Everett took my hand back and led me downstairs. When we arrived the messengers were surprised and relieved to see me coming. “Mrs. Amber... we looked everywhere for you. Let's continue our journey," said the messenger as he opened the car door. But Everett didn't let go of my hand and stood in front of me with a fierce face. "Tell Nash, Amber will never return to her palace. So don't look for Amber anymore," said Nash, surprising me. “M.r Everett, don't make our job difficult. Mr. Nash will be very angry if we don't bring Mrs. Amber back to the palace.” "Therefore, tell Nash that Amber will not come back. Just say my name and say that I took Amber away." The messenger blocked Everett's steps as he was about to walk to his car. But Everett tried to fight back. "Mr. Everett, we beg you not to do this," said another messenger, drawing his sword at Everett. I was surprised when I saw them forced to draw their swords like this. I know they don't want to do this
Nash's POV In my room, I waited for Amber's arrival who never came. All night I couldn't even sleep because my mind wandered to Amber's current whereabouts. I didn't expect Amber to be so brave as to run away from me.She even managed to trick the servants and guards into getting away with it. My anger hasn't stopped since I found out that Amber had run away from the palace. Luckily, Amber's family told them about Amber running away. Until I can pick her up and force her to come home. Of course, Amber's family was very afraid of letting Amber stay there. What's more, if I find out from other people that Amber ran away and is looking for her everywhere. And Amber's family is silent solely to protect Amber. "They didn't even dare to rebel against me, but Amber dared to do this to me." Someone knocked on my bedroom door. I was surprised because no one had ever dared to do that except one person. Ruby, is a fox woman who wants Amber's position to be hers. She is the craziest
Ruby's POV Nash was furious when he heard the report from the messenger he sent to pick up Amber. Everett... I never thought he would betray Nash and kidnap Amber so bravely. I did feel something different from Everett's gaze on Amber. But I didn't expect that he had bad intentions and ended up taking the opportunity when things were unstable. Doesn't Everett know how angry Nash was when he found out about Amber's escape from the palace? He should have brought Amber back here and not made a scene. I clenched my fists as I remembered the torture Nash had done to me some time ago. I didn't expect that Nash would take out his anger on me like this. If Amber hadn't run away and stayed here, Nash wouldn't have treated me like a bitch. Nash will continue to treat me gently and kindly as usual. And I will never feel humiliated like this. My hatred for Amber grew even greater because of the changes in Amber which made my plans almost fall apart. Nash shouted loudly and roared, sp
Amber's POV Now Everett and I arrived at a fairly large castle. I was quite surprised because this was the first time he saw a castle that was different from usual. The long-distance travel made us come in the afternoon towards evening. Everett took me into the castle and told me to wait in front of the stove he had just finished lighting. "Sit down, I'll make you a warm drink," said Everett and left me alone. I pondered silently remembering everything that had happened up to this moment. I didn't expect to be here, a place that feels comfortable and warm. I don't know what makes me feel safe here. However, I always felt anxious and afraid every second. Now I don't feel it anymore. It felt very different and worried me a little. Even so, I feel a little happy because I no longer have to face Nash who makes my life miserable. If only from the start of their marriage, Nash had been as gentle and warm as Everett. Maybe I would be very happy living with him. Even though our
Amber's POV I heard the sweet sound of birds singing. When I opened my eyes, I felt my body felt very fresh and more energetic. Without realizing it, I stretched my body quite hard. Even though I had never done this before. That means I slept very soundly. Without realizing it, my smile bloomed with feelings that I had never felt before. That familiar feeling before all my suffering began. I inhaled the appetizing aroma. Spurred me to wake up from sleep and get out of bed. My bare feet stepped out of the room and looked for the source of the aroma that made my stomach growl. When I walked into the kitchen I saw a bowl of soup still hot on the table. I, who hadn't eaten anything since last night, without hesitation took a spoon and sat there. Finished a delicious bowl of warm soup. After finishing I saw a glass of milk which was still warm. I drank it until there was nothing left. My stomach is full makes my mood even higher. A source of simple happiness that I haven't
Everett's POV Hearing Amber's words made me even more enthusiastic and confident. The inner pressure and inner rejection of Nash's government made me rebel and feel unfair. The suffering and misery caused by the war two years ago made my heart feel sick and hurt. Seeing many villages destroyed without any remains, people who lost their families. Children who lost their parents. I felt numb and couldn't stop myself. This is not what I wanted, this is not what I expected. The destruction that Nash had caused caused the deepest wounds of many groups. However, it is very difficult to express what is in my heart. My protest to Nash will only complicate my steps and actions in helping them secretly. Because of that, I often miss attending events that Nash always does. Nothing but to help the people who now put their trust in me. For the people who started to depend on me. And to give new life to all the pain and suffering they feel, with strong determination I will overthrow N
Nash's POV In a remote village, I came together with the soldiers. Visited a small group that started receiving my help six months ago. Some soldiers came violently and tore down several wooden huts. Their leader immediately came out when he saw the commotion the soldiers were making. “Who are you guys? Why come and cause a commotion?” said their leader with his hands on his hips. I smiled sarcastically and got out of the car. Stepping with my chin up, I glared at all the people there. “M-Mr Nash? Your Majesty, what brings you to this small and dirty village," he said, bowing his head as deeply as possible. “I heard that you no longer want to accept my help. Does this small village feel prosperous and safe?" I asked and stepped on some small flowers growing in their yard. “No, Your Majesty, we are still lacking and full of poverty. However, some of your envoys came and asked for quite a large tax. We felt we couldn't afford it, that's why we stopped receiving aid so w
Everett's POV Looking at the map marked by Amber convinced me that there were still many villages that had small packs that we had not yet reached. I realized how far I was compared to Nash who had a better and more mature strategy. Nash was trained to be the best hunter and attacker in the pack. But, I never thought that Nash would take advantage of this to rule the whole world. And the packs that are weaker than him. Early in the morning my herd and I set off for a village we had never visited. In the car, I looked at the lunch box that Amber had prepared this morning. Honestly, I was very happy and thought maybe I still had a chance to confess my feelings to Amber. However, I can't be selfish because Amber is still traumatized by Nash and chooses to postpone it longer. At least Amber is still willing to open her heart and give me a little attention. Just like that, it makes me happy. Even seeing changes in Amber who looks better makes me happy and feel proud of her. Fo
