Her phone was confiscated. Maids watched her during the day and then Damien took over by the night.It seemed that there was absolutely nothing she could do.Before Aurora could figure out a doable plan, a group of soldiers came to bring her out of there.“The King asked to take her to the Counselin
At the very last second before the axe landed, Aurora let out a sharp cry and pulled her hands with her full might!The strength was enormous.Her hands dodged the blade by less than half an inch.The axe didn’t chop down her hands, but it pared a thin layer of skin and smashed down to the hardwood
Damien stared at Silas, unblinking.“She is MY woman. No one can touch her besides me. I made this clear to you already, Silas. Yet you went behind my back.”Silas frowned, looking a bit anxious.“But—But you broke up, didn’t you…” Chloe stuttered. “She is not your woman anymore…You have someone bet
Chloe held her head down, still struggling internally.“Guards.” Silas commanded, “Lady Chloe needs some help.”“Yes, my King!”Soldiers took an eager step forward immediately.“Wait a second!” Chloe cried.Being forced by a bunch of lowly guards…It looked even worse than getting on the knees hersel
Plus, being a maid meant that she could get out of the room and walk around.She would get her freedom back.It was a great deal.So Aurora answered right away without hesitation, “Yes.”But Damien spoke up at the same time, “NO.”Having heard about her answer, Damien snapped his head toward her wit
“It is not your damn business, OK?”Wendy snarled with an eyeroll.“The rule is there for a reason. You just follow the rules. And stop asking silly questions.”She took one more critical look at Aurora and let out a snort, “Let me go fetch you a maid’s uniform. You can’t wear your current clothes.”
She took a look at Aurora’s untouched bowl of soup and giggled, “You don’t like your meal?”“You mean a bucket of slop?” Aurora said coldly.“Watch your tongue!” Wendy warned, “You are lucky enough that we feed you. If you want to starve yourself, fine. Just don’t pass out tomorrow in front of the m
Westin was the last person Aurora expected to see here.This was the maid’s dormitory, restricted to men. The guard’s rooms were on the other side of the building.Westin shouldn’t have the access.Yet nobody here was too panicked to see a man enter their dorm. Instead, all maids seemed pretty excit
Damien narrowed his eyes. “Are you telling me how to rule my kingdom?”Ellington’s mouth dropped open, “No…Of course not…I wouldn’t dare…”“And it makes me wonder why you are targeting Lady Kurt.” Damien let out a snort, “You wouldn’t think that you will naturally become Luna once I punish Lady Kurt
“Aspen…ASPEN!”Aurora took the boy in her arms and cried, “Bring the car! To the hospital NOW!”Some people hurried to bring over a car.Gabriel shivered by Aurora’s side. “H—He was alright just a second ago…What happened? Is it…poison?”“Allergy.” Aurora gritted. “Aspen is allergic to peanuts!”The
There were only 3 days left before Aspen chose the final 3.So every lady was out there doing their best to win over the boy’s heart.Some of them brought Aspen handmade cookies; some tried to buy him off with expensive jewelries; one lady even hired an entire circus to the packhouse just to make th
Damien widened his eyes.He saw a woman’s face, which was covered by dreadful burns and scars.Her skin got licked by flames so hard that it was almost impossible to recognize her original features.This was not the scene that he expected to see when he removed that mask.The room lapsed into a deat
Damien’s breathing quickened.That woman…how dared she lie to him!And most importantly, why would she hide her real identity?Who was she, really?Damien ended the phone call and went back to the dining hall.He took a deep look at the woman sitting next to Aspen. She was still wearing that mask ev
The elder cleared his throat awkwardly.He wanted to rule out Janine Kurt as well.But the King clearly said that he wanted her to stay. He didn’t show as much interest to the other ladies, only to this one.As astonishing and ridiculous as it might seem, this Janine Kurt might actually be the winne
During the next couple of days, Damien was busy meeting up with the other Luna candidates.Aurora was glad that he was preoccupied with other things and couldn’t badger her with insane questions anymore.She went into the packhouse during the day to spend time with Aspen. And during the night, she h
The tension between them started to build up again.“No.”Aspen replied loudly, “I don’t want to go to your orchard.”Blanc and Gabriel let out a sigh of relief.Ellington looked super embarrassed.“Are you sure? It will be fun. I bet that you have never been to a private orchard opened up just for
They ran down the path through the garden and saw Aspen collapsed on the ground not so far from here.The boy rubbed his forehead, with tears circling in his eyes.Standing in front of the boy was Lady Ellington.Aurora rushed to hold the boy in her arms. “Aspen! What happened?”Aspen twitched his l
