Several Minutes Later
While I was expecting something like this to happen, I was at the same time not expecting it. Realistically, I knew that they would have to either confess or make someone else the scapegoat.
It was something I had expereinced first hand when I had been stuck under Rose's employment. In my first life, it was only because they disliked me. In this life, they had wanted to avoid punishment by trying to throw someone else into the fire.
As I stared at the unruly crowd of people that had started attacking each other, I feared I made a horrible mistake. Several knights got involved to try to stop the fighting.
'How did this happen?'

Willow Baker POVHonestly, it left me with mixed feelings, but I couldn't let this opportunity to slip by. Forcing myself to appear calm and confident, I said, "I take it that you won't go against me. Then stop whatever it is you are doing to the bond."Maverick looked like he wanted to argue, but I wasn't having any of it. The pain he was inflicting on them through the bond would make it difficult for me to reason with them. Their minds would be busy dealing with pain.When nothing appeared to happen, I said, "I thought I said I wanted you to stop."'I can't believe I'm bossing Maverick around. I hope he doesn't get too angry with me.''As long as you don't give him a reason to, you'll be fine.'

Maverick Peterson POV'What is she thinking?'I was wondering the same thing. After seeing how the people I've lived with for years had devolved into mindless beasts just because they could lose their job, I felt like my whole world was crashing down.It would be easy to believe that this was just a nightmare. There was no way any of them would act like this. This wasn't like them at all, but maybe I hadn't really known them at all if they could react like this when pushed into a corner.This was certainly an eye-opening experience that revealed to me that I couldn't trust any of them. Despite this, Willow was the one telling me not to get rid of them, even though she was the one who suffered the most.What would possess her to defe

Willow Baker POV'I think you broke him.''What did I even do?'All we did was talk about the knights. Now he was staring off into space as if he were trying to process what we were talking about. I was pretty sure I didn't say anything outrageous.I glanced at the knights who were still around, but none of them were willing to look at me. They obviously knew something. Unfortunately, it was also clear that they had no intention of telling me what was going on. I fumed.What were they trying to hide?'Do you have any idea what's going on?''No.'

Willow Baker POVFortunately or unfortunately, I didn't get any chance to do research on personal knights. Maverick was clearly intent on making sure I leave him with a personal knight before the end of the day.Staring at the gathered knights, I could tell they were just as uncomfortable as I was. I was certain none of them wanted to be picked to be my personal knight, and I felt a little sorry for them.'Why should you feel sorry for them? They'll be doing their job. If they dare try something, they're out of here.'I chose not to comment and turned to Maverick to see what he would do now that everyone was there. It wasn't hard to admit I was curious about how he would choose my personal knight.Was it based on experience or personality?"You have all gathered here today for something that should have been done a long time ago. We will be selecting Willow's personal knight." None of them showed any signs of discontent. They were pretty good. "Are there any volunteers?"As I expected

Willow Baker POVStepping slightly in front of Maverick, I said to the butler, "While I'm glad you took the initiative, I would have preferred to see for myself what needed to be thrown away.""I apologize," he said after a moment of hesitation and staring at Maverick. "I simply wanted to reduce your workload from having to read such nonsense."While it was true I expected some of the papers submitted to me to end up being trash, I also had to consider the possibility he was doing this to get rid of his enemies or people he disliked."I see. I won't be needing your services at this time," I said.The moment those words escaped my lips, he looked at me with such fright that I was convinced that he thought that I had told him something horrific. I was befuddled by hi

Willow Baker POV"I thought everyone here learned how to read and write," I mumbled to myself as I wracked my brain for a way to resolve this in the least painful way.Hearing my words, Maverick said, "Education isn't provided to the servants. Any education they might have had came from before they were employed in the grand duchy."I stared at him in disbelief. That had been the case when I was in Rose's employment. Almost no one knew how to read or write except for certain individuals. I had just assumed it would be different here.After all, the Grand Duchess and Maverick had taken the time to teach me, a former servant, how to read and write. I would have thought it was normal for them to provide an education for all their servants.Now it made sense why so many people had poor handwriting. It was actually a miracle that so many could even turn in anything at all unless they got someone else to write for them.That thought made me grimace as I realized that was a whole other can o

Willow Baker POV'Okay, I'm back. What happened?''Nothing much.''This doesn't look like nothing much. What did you guys talk about?'Before I could answer her, Maverick said, "You will not fake a kidnapping, and that's final."'You what? What's this about kidnapping?''It's nothing.''It's not nothing. What were you guys talking about while I was gone. I was probably gone for just a few minutes.''It's none of your business. Why are you b

Maverick Peterson POVI froze, uncertain about what I should do now. When I told her to rest, I didn't expect her to start screaming at me and crying. It was something so completely unexpected that all I could do was stare at her.'Maverick, you should do something.'Shadow's words were enough to snap me out of my daze, and I hugged her. She stiffened, and I feared she would shove me away. Instead, after a few moments, she started crying again.From the side, I could see and smell how uncomfortable, Sir Kerry was with the whole situation. I signaled for him to wait outside, and he immediately took the chance to leave us.I would have scolded him for abandoning his mistress when it was his duty to protect her if not for the current situation. This is obviously something very private, and I didn't want him to be listening in.'She seems to be under a lot of stress.''I know.'Even though I wanted to comfort her and say none of it was her fault, I knew it wouldn't do any good. She wasn't

Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request Author's Note
Hello everyone. I just want to thank all my readers, especially those who have been following until the end. It's been a long journey. In fact, I believe this book, from start to finish, took almost 7 months, which is a long time. Again, I'm grateful to have all of you.Now, onto what I intend to do next. I have several ideas, but currently I hope to start on Asa Peterson's story. It's going to be about Willow and Maverick's daughter, but with a twist.Instead of being a direct sequel to Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request, it follows the first life after Willow dies and basically runs almost parallel with it. As such, there might be some spoilers, but it's not required to read both books. They're both standalones.I really hope to get this story off the ground. However, I do have other stories so we'll see how everything works out.Anyway, thank you all again for reaching the end with me. I hope that you all continue following me and have a great day.

Willow Baker POV A Year Later "Willow, are you ready?" Sheila asked as she, Maverick's mother, and Diana stepped into the room. As I stared at the woman in the mirror, I immediately said, "No." My arms shook as I said, "I really can't do this." "What's wrong?" she asked as she immediately rushed over to me. "I don't think I'm ready to get married," I said as I whirled around in my wedding dress. "Willow," Maverick's mother said as she took my hand. "You've already been part of the family for more than three years. We're only making sure you get the wedding you deserve." 'I can't believe I agreed to go along with this crazy idea. Why do we need to have a wedding when we're already husband and wife?' 'I don't have a clue either. You're the one who agreed to it when Maverick asked to marry you, and he even gave you a chance to back out.' I still had mixed feelings when I recalled that incident. It still boggled my mind that he had asked to marry me when we were already married, a

Willow Baker POV"Yes?" I squeaked.I mean, we were married, so I wasn't sure what he was talking about. However, instead of explaining himself, he smiled brightly at me. His smile blinded me and left me in a daze as he slipped the ring onto my finger.Feeling the metal on my finger, I quickly said, "Wait. What's going on?"His smile dropped as he said, "I proposed. Did you not want to marry me?""That's not what I meant," I said as I held both my hands up. "I mean, aren't we already married?""We are, but I want us to be properly married," he said as he stood up. "All we did was sign some papers and file them to formalize our marriage. I want us to have a wedding. It doesn't have to be big. It can just be us and our families or j

Willow Baker POVA Year LaterStaring up at the night sky, I smiled as I held Maverick's hand. I had used to be embarrassed about holding his hand, but now I found myself reaching out to him whenever I can."It's nice out," I said as we continued to walk through the garden.The only sounds were the sounds of the wind and whatever animals were out and about. Basking in the peaceful atmosphere, I still found it hard to believe a year had passed in the blink of an eye."It is," Maverick said with a smile, and he squeezed my hand."So, what is it you wanted to talk about?" I asked."What makes you think I brought you out here to have a talk?" he asked. "I could just want to spend

Willow Baker POVReaching out to the door, I opened it and was greeted by the sight of a gaunt Lesli. The putrid smell and poor condition nearly made me vomit as I covered my nose and mouth."Ah, Willow, you finally came. I was wondering when you would come," he said as he smiled at me. His smile fell when his eyes spotted Maverick right behind me. "Oh, you're here. I didn't ask for you.""I asked him to be here," I said as I held up my arm before Maverick could raise his voice.Lesli tilted his head to one side as he asked, "Why? Did you think I would do something to you?" When I didn't bother to give him a response, he raised his bandaged and chained arms up for us to see. "I can't exactly do anything to you right now.""I'm sure you'll find a way, but that's not

Willow Baker POVUnfortunately, the beautiful moment was ruined as a servant approached us. We stepped away from each other as Maverick frowned. They knew to leave us alone unless it was a serious matter."My apologies, your graces," the man said as he bowed. "The prisoner is acting up and demanding Willow's presence."There was only one person he could be referring to, but before I could say anything, Maverick said, "Willow will not be seeing him. I should have you punished for your insolence."The man quivered beneath Maverick's bloodlust. Asa squirmed at the sensation, but she didn't become upset like the last time she had been exposed to it. I wasn't sure whether I should be glad or upset.Reaching out to touch his shoulder, I said, "Maverick."

Willow Baker POVSeveral Days LaterLeaning back in my chair, I watched with a smile as Maverick played with Asa, who giggled loudly. For once, we were together not because someone had done something to make it happen, and I was quite happy about it.Maverick finally caught Asa, who laughed even harder when he raised her up into the air. She clapped her hands as they returned back to the table where I was sitting. Asa immediately reached out to me.Standing up, I took her from him, and we both settled down to enjoy the tea and snacks that had been left out. Asa tried to reach for the cookie I had, but I kept it out of arm's reach. She was far too young to be eating them.As I nibbled on the cookie while ignoring Asa's attempts to grab it out of

It was like being surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves, ready to pounce at any moment.Maverick scanned the room before standing. "Now that everyone is here, I believe there is something we need to seriously discuss." His face hardened as he said, "You all need to stop harassing us, especially Willow." Immediately, several people looked offended by his words, but he continued on, "This has gone on long enough.""Maverick, I believe you need to watch yo

Willow Baker POVA Few Weeks LaterAfter what had felt like centuries, I had finally kicked everyone out without being rude. I had thought that would be the end of it. Unfortunately, I had been wrong. I had been so very wrong.It seemed like a fire had been lit, causing the family to work even harder to ensure we were a proper couple. Well, at least the women were. The men had kept out of the whole exchange, and I wasn't sure how to feel about that.On one hand, it was better than having all of them gang up on me and Maverick. On the other hand, they weren't helping us and were choosing to stay on the sidelines. Rickey seemed to take particular glee at my suffering.'At least someone is enjoying themselves.'
