The witness Aurora wanted to talk to was Maxie.Although Baron hadn’t been very nice to Maxie, he trusted her very much. He brought her to the first between-packs competition, and he even let her fill in as the substitute trainer while he was absent.Maxie must know something about his shady deals.
These two maids look horrified.“Gamma Aurora, what are you talking about? How would we know what happened to Miss Maxie?” one maid said stiffly.“I heard what you said earlier. And please don’t be afraid. I am not going to tell you off. On the contrary, I am here to help so you can totally trust me
Now, however, Chloe seemed as though she must have aged at least 10 years within 10 days.Her hair was messy and greasy like it hadn’t been washed for a long time. And her skin was no longer smooth due to the lack of attention. She was dressed in a ragged, old clothes with many patches and dirty sta
“Are you doing alright at the Chloe front?”Aurora asked Angelina as they went into her office.“Good. It is a lot of work trying to keep her out of troubles. But there is nothing I can’t handle.”Angelina closed the door with her shoulder and walked to the fridge. “Something to drink? Water? Iced t
“This must stop. NOW.”Aurora gritted with rage burning inside of her.“Baron…that son of a bitch deserves to die a thousand times.”Angelina nodded, “I was glad that you came to me today, Aurora. If you didn’t step out, I doubt anyone would ever do.”She paused and let out a sarcastic snort, “And i
“Let her go.”Aurora said freezingly, staring at the hand that Baron put on Maxie’s shoulder.Baron spat at her, “What the fuck does this have to do with you? Go mind your own business, Aurora. This is my soldier!”“I won’t stand here and watch you bully her. Take your hand off her, right now!” Auro
“Maybe Maxie is concerned about his power,” Aurora said.“But you said you would help her, right? Even a maid like Angelina was brave enough to step out and challenge Chloe, what was holding back a strong warrior like Maxie?”That was what baffled Aurora too.Maxie seemed like the strong and determi
Maxie froze.She was struggling internally.On the one hand, there was her pride and dignity; yet on the other hand, there was her families.After a painful long pause, she chose the latter and slowly buried her face down to Baron’s shoe.Baron and Owen crackled with laughter as she did.Maxie was t
The swear.She didn’t know the consequences that bore with it back then.Now she knew.Bound by that oath, she was physically forbidden to disclose that secret.It was her own doing.Desperate tears streamed down Aurora’s cheeks as she choked, “D—Damien…God…Please trust me…”“Trust you what?”He too
Aurora couldn’t believe what she was seeing with her own eyes.…Damien?How did Damien get in here?! She thought that there was no way either of them could pass that misted forest!And why didn’t he bring more soldiers? He was here alone, how dangerous!And Westin…It seemed that Westin knew Damien w
Amidst the sea of lilies, fairy lights on the archways and trees twinkled like stars, casting a soft, warm glow.The gentle rustle of leaves, the occasional flutter of butterflies, and the distant murmur of a mountain stream added to the dreamy serenity.A path paved by pedals winded through the sea
Aurora stopped laughing.A nostalgic and slightly sad feeling surged up in her chest.Yeah…When was the last time that he made her laugh?“…Back in the Grace Ruin,” she said lowly eventually.“The Grace Ruin.” Westin nodded, “We were facing a lot of dangers and you didn’t even know who I am. But it
Elder Medline was the only person who remained sitting.She crossed her arms and looked at Aurora with a critical eye.“What is with the waistline?” she asked.“What about it?”“It doesn’t fit. And it makes your waist look like a bucket,” she said with a tone of asperity. “The tailors should close u
Aurora held her breath involuntarily.Westin didn’t mention that he had a godmother.And she didn’t remember seeing Elder Medline on any occasion before. It almost felt as though Elder Medline had been deliberately avoiding her.Elder Medline cast a warning look upon Aurora and turned to Annie, “Ris
Aurora sighed.…It was going to be a long day.They arrived at the fitting room and the maids opened the door for them.Everyone in the room stood up and curtseyed to them upon their arrival.“Queen Aurora,” they said in unison.Aurora’s eyes flickered to a girl in the back of the crowd.Annie.She
Love?Aurora let out a cold sneer internally.What Westin said about love was ridiculous.He didn’t love her. He was just possessive of her. And there was a difference between the two.Westin buried his head down to her neck and murmured hoarsely, “Please tell me Aurora…What should I do with my love
Aurora touched his hand, which was cold and clammy, and it sent a shiver down her body.“Get it together, Westin,” she whispered into his ears.He took a deep, shuddering breath and nodded, “Yeah I know…Thanks.”Aurora turned to look at Agnes and sneered, “Blame Westin? You have got to be fucking ki
