Fear seized Aurora’s heart as she stared at Clemente, horrified.Was this the person who assassinated her last night?She couldn’t be sure.Because she didn’t get a clear look at the man’s face, just his eyes.But those eyes…They looked exactly the same!“Aurora?”Westin’s voice snapped her back to
She could kiss her goodnight sleep goodbye.Aurora stumped out of the great hall.Clemente was waiting by the doors.He walked up to her as soon as she was not and followed her to the iron gate in silence.Aurora couldn’t help but ask, “Are you going to follow me wherever I go?”“That is the King’s
She should have her period a week before.Yet it was late now.She couldn’t breathe as fear and horror clouded her mind.Calm down.Girls got their periods late all the time and a week of delay didn’t mean anything…But she couldn’t help but think back to the last time she had sex with Damien in the
Aurora’s mind went blank for a second.Although she had seen this coming, she had not prepared for this.There was actually a baby inside of her body, a baby she could not protect.How would Westin react to this?He would certainly be enraged.He hated Damien to his gut, and he would hate Damien’s k
“Of course, it will!”Belle answered right away:“The fog in the mist forest had nothing to do with the weather. It is a magical power that protects our Kingdom 24/7…”She paused.And then started to giggle, “…kind of like Clemente!”Wells rolled his eyes, “I didn’t know why Westin sent this guy to
After a long while, Clemente put the pregnancy stick into his pocket and picked up the lemonade again.He crossed the lawn and found Aurora and the twins by the water fountain.“You are back!” Belle jumped up as soon as she saw him, “Come and smell the roses, Clemente. The gardener just picked it ou
“And you are defending her!”Tears streaming down Agnes’s cheeks as she shrieked:“Do you know what a hard time she gave me a couple of days ago? She expelled me from my own tea party, Clemente! How can you ever hang out with her? You swore to your brother on his deathbed that you would always help
Agnes stared at him.The horrified look faded from her face.Eventually, her face became expressionless.“Yes,” she uttered.“…What?”“I said yes.” Agnes let out a light chuckle, “You were asking me for an answer. I am answering you right now—Yes. I do want Westin for myself.”Clemente gritted his t
“ENOUGH.”Damien spoke up and silenced the whole crowd.“There was no point arguing about this.” He said in a cold voice, “Take these cookies and cake to the lab and see if there is any peanut in it. The truth will speak for itself.”The soldiers received his order and hurried out of the lounge agai
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
