"So all in all, you’ve already found out about the man who was anonymous for a long time, huh?" Derius, the duke of the Maxwell duchy, said to one of his shadow knights that reported behind him as he is facing the large window in his built property on the underground market
He was actually inside the underground market pretending to be on a business-related meeting outside the empire on his family. Because it's the easy way to stay on the underground property he bought while doing such things behind his family's back - as well as building training ground on its basement
"Yes my lord, it was on the commoner's village and it was the one with a brown roof among the small houses there. He had lived there for about 10 years or more now. As far as I've conducted from my inquiry on the villagers there, he had also built a family when he first moved in there," the shadow knight said respectfully kneeling behind the duke as Derius only smirked while imagining the things h
That night was the most tragic night that Iris could ever imagine in her whole life. The way she saw everything that had happened from their precious house to her precious family, she couldn't help but be in a dream where all that had happened was just a nightmare. That all she could do is dream of a nightmare inside her tiny world, so in her mind she kept sleeping and sleeping until she never know what world she's already in. If she's in the real world or still in her tiny hope of dream worldWithout further hesitation after resting, Lucius took her. He was carrying her in a bridal position as he took the bag to his other shoulder carrying it like a mad man. Yet his gorgeous face was never scratched one bit even if his whole body was bloody - wounded and injuredHe breathed hard enough to continue walking to the dukedom where he knew that the young woman he was carrying resembled the family. With great pain and sudden dizziness, he never let it overrule him. As he sti
On an early winter day, a family of three was happily looking at the ocean near their estate in the countryside. The two parents hugged each other with a young child was beaming at the ocean in the middle of their hug. They were all full of smiles and laughter"The ocean had always been a relaxing place to view from here," the gorgeous lady said while looking at the two most important people in her life beaming in return to her. While she genuinely smiled at them as the cool breeze sways her hair making her more astonishing with the color that was being bathed at the sunlight's rich hueThe two people in front of her suddenly were surprised at the beauty she gives to them. Though, they immediately shrugged those thoughts as the man patted her shoulder while smiling brightly"Yeah it is relaxing and beautiful just like you Romina," said the man who was holding their young son on in his shoulders while looking at his gorgeous wife smiling. Afterward, he remo
In the silent night, Aiden knew that it was better for him to not remember the dream at all because even if he does, it will only do no good for him. He was considering that he’ll never remember what had happened to that night. The night that everyone talks about as his family's accidentUpon waking up, sweats were forming from his head as it falls to his body making him ho. Then his breathing became hard for a while because of the sudden nightmare that he had. But he couldn't remember them at all'What was that?'He repeatedly thought while calming himself and holding his raging chest for a minute to process what is going on with the life that he had now. Upon calming himself sweats were already evaporated and he fixed his posture as he sat from his bed and look at the medicine on the bedside table'Yeah, I guess I forgot to intake these that's why I experienced such nightmares again'He thought sadly smiling at the sight o
As the dead of the night arrived, silence filled the whole room of Wilhelm after arriving at the palace that late. He ushered Nigel to do the things he assigned him to do as he walked to his room to take some rest. Yet all he did after going to his room was closed the door and head to his bed. He’s trying to process everything that had happened for the day.He sat there in complete shock for the events that had happened. From the moment he saw the naked bodies having intercourse on the farthest room inside the palace - as he sneaked out of the imperial palace to the secret place connecting the palace to the market – to the way he saw the young woman being tricked by the commoner bad guys - as well as the time that he unconsciously saved the young woman as they ran to the forest near the market doing unnecessary things that he couldn't even imagine doing for the first time and - with 'The Vile Market''I never thought that I could be able to sne
'The Evil Witch and the Trapped Princess?'Upon looking at the cover of the book, the shadow figures of the people mentioned in the title were present depicting a witch who was holding an apple and giving it to the princess who was sitting on the ground as she also held open the palm of his hands for receiving the apple. On the side of the cover can be seen the title alone as the cover explained what it wasAfter picking the book and being intrigued with it he smiled. Knowing that he finally landed to read some of the books that Grindel was hiding in their household which he only found at the end of the very far shelf that no one bothered to pay attention to. Even their guests as well as Aiden at times never pay attention to the very end shelves. So, Grindel had put it there because of those exact reasons'He's a clever man if I'm being honest but who cares about the rules tonight, probably I'll be sleeping inside the library for the first tim
'The day had been so pleasurable so much for having s*x with the maid as Gretchen also enjoyed having one with the butler that I suggested for her'Arthur, the emperor, thought remembering the empress while he was sitting in his office's seat. He was smirking at the event that had happened earlier because he felt more aroused if he do it with other people. Little did he know that he was seen by the only successor for the throne as an emperor – Wilhelm - making his image be tainted in his mind.Upon thinking about the happenings earlier, he looked at the window in his room to see the daring light of the moon that was illuminating his room, which has been dark from the moment he entered. He was an emperor who likes dark places more because that's the only thing that he can think of the things he'll plan to accomplish them'Such a bright light illuminating the inside of my office making me want to look at the magnificent color of silver it goes through th
"So tell me all the details, did you all succeed in killing Victor and putting his house on fire?" Derius, the duke of Maxwell duchy, said to one of the shadow knights he ordered – who was kneeling and bowing in front of the duke’s back. The duke, on the other hand, looked at the outside underground market built in his room as his own built property beside a caféHe was informed by the shadow knight, that the name of the man that had been long anonymously sending him his illegal activities, was Victor Polly. Never did he knew anything deeper than that man. All he knew was he’s a former spy of a ruined noble. But he’s originally one of the throne claimers that Arthur left to live in a faraway land – yet he also didn’t expected to find his death at the duke’s hands"Yes my lord, we killed him and all of his family together inside the house as well as setting fire on the house. We leave it like it was done with an accident,
Inside the Maxwell DuchyIt was already night that Damon had entered the duchy. He was never searched by the servants as well as his tutors because he had notified them in advance about him being sick and he needed time alone to recover himself from such illness. He knew that the duchess and his two sisters will be worried to him but he asked them not to call any physicians, he just let them know that he wanted some space. Then, they give him that. They can’t oppose him when he seriously said those words because they know how bad it was for them if he was angered in the first place, lucky for Damon that the duke wasn’t in the household.Not wanting to make the same problem arise the servants - as well as the duchess and Damon’s two sisters - continued to their routine, including his private tutors. They were notified by him to only come next week for his tutoring because he wasn’t feeling well. It’s true that Duchess Emerlize Maxwell was w
Early morning, inside the imperial palace All were seemed like doing their normal routine as the servants do the assigned tasks they were doing. While the emperor was busy with some paper works, the empress, on the other hand, was having her morning tea in the garden with her two princesses.Wilhelm, being the crown prince, must have already woken up and have already attended his first private lesson for the day. But because of his exhaustion and curiosity of reading the book, he went to sleep only after he finished reading half of it as he put it again on his bedside table's drawerThat night was the night that he barely have time to sleep considering sleeping at past midnight just by reading a book. There, inside his room he was peacefully sleeping with his messy silver hair all over his gorgeous pale face pointed nose, red thin lips, and perfect body. He sleeps in an unusual position but that doesn't matter to him, what matters is that he got to sleep comfortably. Even if it means
░37░ Gordon'I know that the duke was behind this mess, but why? Guess I'll just have to play along with what game he's leading us into'He thought as he looked seriously averting his sight at the house and looking from afar with such distant cold lonely eyes he had'The world is full of evilness. Yet, there’s only rare people who do good to another'He deeply thought as he sighed a long one. He was now walking back to where he was before being followed by the knights respectfully. He went there until the knights had left the burned house and set their feet a meter outside of it continuing to bow in front of him.After walking out of the burned house, he immediately looked at the small book inside his pocket containing all the information about the commoners living inside the village. When he looked at the name Victor Polly his whole body went numbed and paused for a moment'That's why his name felt familiar with the overall information that I've gotten about him from one knight - it
Never did everyone in the village could imagine what would have happened to the house of their commoners' friend - Victor. He's one of the responsible people there. He’s everyone's friend and companion. No one would have held a grudge against him in the village so everyone was confused, hurt, and pained about what had happened to him and his family. They can feel his loss that greatly affected the whole village regarding that he’s one of the good people they’ve all known in their lives.Especially that the family never offended anyone there. All of the family members were hard-working with their own money. So they have no clue why did it all happen. The village that morning went to confusion and worry. Their reason was - they might think that if there was one house in the village that was composed of a friendly person got burned - then the next thing they'll know was one of their houses will be the next targetMurmurs and different expressions c
It was two hours before it gets midnight that the fire inside the commoner's village had happened and the other neighbor didn't notice such fire because their house was a bit far from where the other neighboring houses were. The incident was only founded by a - hunter man that hunt's prey animals at night inside the villageThe man shouted and shouted until all of the people came out of their houses and only then that they find a house burning inside their village. That made them shocked and surprised at the same time as it was the first time that a fire inside the village happened for a long time. There, the villagers knew that they can't report to the town at the moment because all were closed. So they have no choice but to look at the raging fire until the hunter man shouts for them to take water from the near lake and pour them all on the house. All cooperated except for the children that were shocked as they were prohibited to go outside for the night.The others
'What the hell did I just read?'And before he could even process everything he heard some footstep nearing where he wasDamon wanted to process everything about the information that he had finished reading but he can't seem to face process it all. For the moment, he was left standing at his position because he had already heard some nearing steps to the secret place thinking it might be the duke. He can’t seem to moved, like his whole body was paralyzed the moment he had red those information from the duke. He feels like it was another’s diary. He felt like – it was a diary of a long forgotten person within the empire. There, he was unconsciously shocked that the book that he had held tightly in his hands earlier had now already fallen to the floor. Yet, his sight was focused elsewhere with his mouth wide open.With the sudden footsteps that he's hearing, he immediately went back to reality as he shook his head, closed his mouth
"They remind me of Yragus Mestia, the emperor's brother," the witch said reminiscing the past"Wait, Yragus Mestia? Yragus, Yragus, I've heard that name before it was a different Yragus, it was Yragus Gordon. The empire's previous emperor from years ago but why was it called Yragus Mestia here? Considering it was based on true characters that or maybe the book was lying? Did Mestia exist in the first place?"Aiden whispered through the silence of the night. He was truly shocked by the information that the book had when it wrote the name of the brother's emperor. He knew that the name Yragus was the one that implemented, for the people in the empire, to build schools - and that was because he was fascinated by the idea that nobles should also socialize as a matter of young acquaintances and so the empire built the Yrag Academy. But the Yrag academy was now known to be Hermonia. Aiden knew of those because his tutors taught him while he was reading the empire’s his
'So this night, another tragedy happened to one of Lucius' missions, and to think that I could witness him like that - bloody all over his body - injured and wounded. His body is bleeding all over but he still managed to come here with a bag and a young woman. Speaking of that young woman, Lucius was never wrong when he say something like his instincts about me - and the way that he said about the young woman having similar features as the duke was true. I never expected this. It is rare for the late duke to have something resembling him that is unrelated'Grindel deeply thought as he was looking outside through the window in his office at the Killford duchy. He was smiling sadly at the scene that he just witnessed earlier thinking about Lucius. How he had fainted with almost running out of breathing - while still holding the young woman in his arms.He knew that the duke was a rare kind so he needed to investigate the young woman – but not right now bec
