"Why are you here?" My whole body froze upon hearing a familiar deep voice. I instantly shut my eyes and took small deep breaths before composing myself to face the masculine figure behind me.
"Who are you? Why are you talking down to a princess?" I growled in warning and confidently lifted my chin. With narrowed eyes, I shot him a cold gaze and folded my arms in front of me. I tried my best to act like a stranger to him but this guy....his face is crumpled in full annoyance. I instantly bit my lip to stop myself from laughing at his priceless expression.
I feigned a cough to compose myself and the moment our eyes met, the pair of green orbs that were intensely staring at me softened as he heaved a sigh.
When the gush of wind suddenly blew against our direction, the hood from his black cloak slowly slipped away and revealed his glorious silver linen hair which gracefully danced along with the serenades of the wind.

BLAIRE In this world, Victoria's life is always in danger. The Empress is keeping an eye on my every move, the princess is looking for ways to eradicate my existence, the prince is turning a blind on my maltreatment, and the emperor has long abandoned his first child. One sunrise, someone planted a bomb around my palace. The other time, I almost ingested poison from picking up a fruit around the garden, thankfully, Joewella was there to stop me. I couldn't help but slump my head on the table as I groaned in frustration. I think Victoria survived all these years because of Joewella. I stared at the woman who is cheerfully humming as she swept the dried leaves off the ground. I bet she's not an ordinary maid, no one could detect a bomb unless they know much about it. A smirk played on my lips as I sat back. I don't care about her secrets, as long as she won't stab me from the back, I would call her my ally. "...ally" I echoed my words in a whis

BLAIRE "I'm homeeee!" I yelled while skipping through my steps. Joewella and Eunice immediately came out the door with excited expressions. "My lady! What have you brought this time?" Eunice asked enthusiastically while running in my direction. "It's a deer." I plopped the dead animal on the ground with a proud smile. Victoria's stamina has improved a lot these past few days. At least, my workout exercises didn't come to waste. "My lady, are you hurt anywhere? did you have a cut? do you feel pain somewhere?" Joewella asked consecutively without catching her breath as she inspected each corner of my body. I have no choice but to chuckle at her great concern. "I'm fine. Can you please send this to Jerome and ask him to prepare dinner?" "Yes, my lady!" They nodded their head and accepted the rope that I offered which connects to the horns of my prey. I shifted my gaze towards the narrow tree by the walls and smiled at the

Sirens and Mermaids are nemeses since the beginning of time. Although they live in the same environment, their personalities are like oil and water. The latter is known to be gentle and kind while the former is alluring and mischievous in nature. In a flash, her tail vanished and a pair of feet came into sight. She glared at me with her cobalt blue eyes and furiously marched in my direction. My maid grabbed my wrist as she stood before me, protecting me with her body from my origin's arch-enemy. Everyone knows that mermaids and sirens never get along. Now, I get the reason why my blood would never be calm around her. She stared intenselyat my maid and gardener who were present in the situation and parted her lips. "I will say this once..."

BLAIRE I slowly opened my mouth and ate a spoonful of dessert with a little uneasiness. The number of eyes that has been focusing on me are making me feel uneasy for quite sometime now. I've already been used to Mr. Spy's unwavering stares but not from the others. I gently placed my utensil back on my plate and smiled awkwardly at the three of them who are standing in front of me. "Uhm..." "My lady, you should drink more water!" "You should eat more food to stay healthy!" "I've prepared these dishes to supply you with ample nutrients for your body, my lady!" I scratched my head and squinted my eyes without removing the smile on my lips to them whose faces are fu

Blaire "Haaah!!" I heaved a deep sigh before sitting up on the bed. I massaged the temples of my head and decided to get some fresh air. The sweet midnight breeze immediately embraced my pale skin against the thin nightdress that I'm wearing. The mixed scent of wet grass welcomed my nose in delight before averting my gaze towards the starless sky. The void is filled with dark gray clouds but the shining moonlight is slowly peeking through the small gaps. I can't sleep! I sighed once again in frustration. Is it because I'm too nervous? or maybe too excited? of what? what the capital looks like? what other people in this world is like? My uneasiness made me pout like a child. I closed my eyes and felt the gentle wind comforting me in its own way. When was the

You wouldn't believe what I just heard!" the high-pitched voice made my heart sink in hopelessness. The sound of her heels paused as she entered the room as if reading the atmosphere. Mother? Is she....I slowly lifted my head and the moment our eyes, she sneered at me with disgust and sashayed her way towards her mother. The color of her hair resembles the Empress but hers was longer and straighter.

BLAIRE "But Your Highness--!!""Joewella, I've already made up my decision. This is the path I want to take and I'll take responsibility for whatever happens." She frowned upon seeing my firm determination. I know that Joewella is just concerned about Victoria but I have a task to fulfill in this body. I can't accomplish anything if I just stay inside my abode. I took a deep breath and gently held her hand "Just.... trust me with this, okay?" She nodded her head weakly and embraced me tightly. Eunice came out of the palace with a hat in her hand. "Your Highness, you might need this to cover your wounds.""No need, Eunice. I already have a cloak---""The weather is very hot and you must protect your skin, Your Highness.""I won't be walking long so there's no---""Aaah! Maybe you prefer the parasol! Plea

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

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 “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 “-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 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 “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 “-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 “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.
