“How much money do we have left?” Ben raised an eyebrow questionably. I know it’s not something that must be discussed publicly but come on, just answer me before I forget what I’m going to say. I rolled my eyes and corrected my question. “Do we still have enough funds to fill a chest?”
“…yes.” He replied hesitantly at my uncanny inquiry. “Good. Now, Ben, I think we can make great use of your magic! You’re a wizard, aren’t you?” He smirked at my question as he realized where I’m going and shook his hands in front of him. “I know what you’re trying to do and that’s not possible.”
“Why?”

BLAIRE “W-w-what do you mean?” I averted my gaze away from his shaking eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. Well, I expected a more negative reaction and I’m just thankful that his first words are not 'Do you think I'm stupid to believe in your lies?' or ‘are you crazy?!' something. I faced him with a serious expression and explained carefully. “I know this may not sound realistic but it’s true. This….” I pointed at the sky and extended my arms to the side “Is a world of novel. I’ve read this book and I know how the story flows that’s why I knew about your plan.” “…” He closed his gaping mouth and gulped hard while wiping the spilled tea. “I'm just an ordinary 15-years-old girl who fell down on a ship an hour before her 16th

BLAIRE “Here’s the paper today, Your Highness.” Joewella placed the newspaper in front of me as I slowly took a sip from my drink. “It’s really weird to see milk inside the teacup instead of tea,” Eunice murmured quietly while frowning. I turned my head towards her and smiled sarcastically “Then close your eyes.” “Your Highness!” She cried in annoyance as I laughed out loudly. “You’ll get used to it in no time, Eunice.” “But I should not. It should be you who must get used to drinking tea, Your Highness. Noble ladies serve and drink tea in parties, not milk!” “Aya!” I waved my hand in disapproval as I frowned. I know that but I can’t get over the taste of this expensive drink yet. I have four other siblings at home and we can’t afford to buy milk so I’m taking my time and enjoying every bit of it here.

BLAIRE “-hut your sht!” “I’m telling the truth!” “That’s what liars say” “But I’m not one!” I slowly opened my heavy eyelids and adjusted my vision from the indoor lights. What’s with the commotion? I carefully got up and suddenly, 6 pairs of eyes immediately turned in my direction. “What’s going on?” I asked weakly as they froze in place. “Your Highness!” They shouted in unison which startled me greatly. They ran towards my side, leaving the poor silver-haired guy on the floor with his hands and feet tied. “Are you okay?” “How do you feel now?” “Are you in pain?” They asked me countless questions in a hurry that it started to make me feel dizzy. Ah! Suddenly, a quick shadow entered the room thro

BLAIRE “HAHAHAHAHA!!” “Stop laughing, Evander! You’re making me more embarrassed!” The heat on my cheeks is burning up as I tried to hide my face with my hands and kept my head low. “I was an expert with heights before but Victoria has a really bad sense of balance!” “Seriously! Who would try to climb on top of a door?! HAHAHHAHAHA” Ughh! My face flushed redder than it was before that I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. I started to hit Evander on the arm and explained,“I do! I was scared of tall places before but I wanted to be an acrobat so I conquered my fear little by little and now it has become comforting thing for me already!” Evander

BLAIRE My jaw dropped at what I’ve heard. This man looks like a living statue, perfectly sculpted by the gods but would have been better if you wouldn't hear them speak. “W-w-what are you talking about?!” I immediately found my stable footing on the ground and pushed him away. “Who are you?” I asked with furrowed brows as I didn’t take my suspicious eyes away from him. The hood from his cloak gently fell on his back and his glorious crimson hair shined brightly under the heat of the sun. Woah! He’s hot! It’s definitely a sight to behold as his purple eyes looked back at me gently. He flashed a smile so bright that even the sun envied his radiance. “It’s me! Ishi!” He exclaimed excitedly. Ishi? I don’t think I’ve heard that name before. I tilted my head and thought for a moment. I d

BLAIRE “-ur Highness! You have to wake up now!” I drowsily opened my heavy eyelids at Joewella’s urgent voice. “Mmmm--what?” I asked weakly while rubbing my eyes. “We have to start preparing now!” I furrowed my eyebrows and glanced through the window. The sun is just about to rise and you’re telling me to start preparing? “The party is still is still in the evening, right?” I asked dumbfounded at their panic. Eunice looked at me with fire burning intensely in her eyes as she clenched her fist in the air, and replied emphasizing each word. “Let’s. Start. Now!” With that, a couple of women with familiar faces entered the room. Wait! They are the ladies from The Black Sun! What are they doing here? They looked at each other and exchanged strange expressions. Uh-oh! I don’t lik

BLAIRE “Ugh! I don’t feel right,” I grumbled with an uncomfortable expression. I leaned my head against the wall and sighed. Ben couldn't help but chuckle at my frustrating situation. “There’s no need to be nervous. I bet the duke won’t be able to take his eyes off you.” I ran my hands on my waist with an uncomfortable expression. “Why is this so tight?! I can hardly breathe!” Ben frowned and soothed my back with his gentle hands. “The aristocrats have always believed that: the slimmer the waist; the more desirable a woman is.” “Hah! What bullshit is that?” I scoffed and flipped my head away in disbelief. I can feel Ben's glare digging through my head but I didn't dare to look back. So is this how I’m going to clothe myself from now on? “I’m not withstanding this!-” “-Not unless you become the Empress,” Ben replied abruptly with a s

BLAIRE “My lady,” I flinched at the sudden voice behind me. W-what was that? I didn’t notice their presence at all! I tightly closed my eyes and took a deep breath. You can do this, Blaire. In three, two, one… I dramatically turned my head back with my hair swinging like a melody of a lullaby as I faced the group of gentlemen walking in my direction. “My lord,” I called back with a gentle voice and a coy smile. My eyes were narrowed from the uplift of my cheeks as I secretly inspected them from head to toe. These men…. they may be wearing ravishing clothes befitting a noble, however, their crude etiquette could never conceal their rigid per

BLAIRE "My lady, shall we go now?" I lifted my head and smiled at Eunice who was extending her hands to me. I accepted her assistance and got in the carriage with drowsy eyes. Noticing my sunken aura, Eunice didn't bother to ask questions and allowed me to close my eyes and rest against the wall. I can't sleep well from what happened last night. All my emotions are too mixed up that I can't distinguish one from the other. I gave out a sigh and lifted my heavy eyelids on the window. The people are crowding over the streets, laughing, talking, doing the things they've always done. +Please wait a moment. I will upload the full chapter in the next few hours.+

BLAIRE "Haaaaaaaah" I let out a deep sigh as I surrendered my body against the door. How many times have I sighed this day? I closed my eyes and enjoyed the cold breeze of spring comforting my racing heart. I've barely started the plan yet it seems like my life span has drastically decreased. I shook my head in defeat and smiled sadly. Life's never been easy to me. I slowly walked towards the railings of the balcony and inhaled the sweet scent of the moist green grass.I turned my gaze upward and appreciated the beauty of the wraith-silver disc hanging in the withered skies. Lasers of moonlight, as bright as diamond-flame, turned the scenery a-glow like melted platinum together with the tiny heavenly bodies glittering merrily in their lovely abode. '12th balcony to the left' is what I remembered to be Duke Vel Lavite's sanctuary in the Imperial Palace. I still remembered a scene from the book where he attended a banquet and got distressed
