"Indeed, there are intricacies to delve into as the days unfold," Daniel remarked, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes. He gracefully poured rich wine into three glasses, the deep hues mirroring the complex negotiations we navigated.With a lift of his glass, Daniel proposed, "A toast to the king, the kingdom, and the triumphant culmination of our collective efforts — may prosperity and unity continue to flourish." The sentiment resonated as we raised our glasses in unison."A toast," I affirmed, the clinking of glass against glass sealing our shared accomplishment. Setting the glasses down, I leaned forward with genuine curiosity. "Now, share more insights about the intricacies of the ink extraction agreement, Morphez. Your firsthand account will provide a deeper understanding than any written correspondence."Daniel took a sip of his wine before elaborating on the ink extraction agreement. "it is a comprehensive deal. Minerva will exclusively provide us with their ink resources, en

Vallen would never understand, and I would never know how to explain the depth of my relationship with Dali."But..."

Daniel walks further into the garden, and I follow him, the raindrops forming a gentle melody around us. As we continue our conversation, the topic veers toward his experiences on Minerva."I had a lot of work and few parties," Daniel jests, eliciting a smile from me. The ambiance of the garden, with its fragrant blossoms and the rhythmic sound of rain, creates a serene backdrop to our exchange."What about..." I begin, but the words trail off. I find myself hesitating, realizing that Vallen's affairs are not within my purview.Daniel's expression shifts, perhaps sensing the unspoken question lingering about Vallen. He pauses for a moment, and I decide to sidestep the potentially sensitive topic."Vallen?" Daniel prompts, and I respond with a shy wave.As we continue our stroll, the rain gradually subsides, leaving behind a tranquil night.

The air seemed to vibrate with our unexpressed emotions, creating a stifling environment that begged for release. It was a moment frozen in time, a tableau of emotional turmoil that demanded resolution."I am not okay, Daliah. I am angrier than I seem, and I do not want to continue this argument with you. So, no, not now. Get out of my way of your own accord," Liam says, his voice laced with a hint of restrained fury."Then do it, Liam," I whisper, my voice trembling with a mix of frustration and sadness. The tears start to fall, tracing silent paths down my cheeks. "Get me out of your way and leave the room. Leave me alone, crying for you.

I turned back to face her, inquiring, "What is it?""Yesterday, when you extended the invitation, I sensed something in you. I felt your honesty and the goodness in your heart. I was not entirely sure, but I decided to bring something. I am glad I did because you've truly proven yourself to be good," she confessed with sincerity."Did you bring me something?"

As we discussed plans, Daniel appeared at the end of the corridor and approached us. The respect in Allan's greeting and Daniel's acknowledgment of both Allan and me showcased the delicate dynamics within the castle."I'll talk to the king about your idea, Queen," Allan informed me before taking his leave with a wave."Thank you," I called after him, realizing the weight of decisions was shared.Alone, I stood before the dining room door, my meeting with Vallen for afternoon tea on the horizon."I have not seen you today," Daniel observed."Busy day. The life of a queen is more demanding than you can imagine," I replied."Perhaps easier than a beta's life," he said, offering a friendly smile."Sure," I smiled back, starting to walk away, when Daniel called my name:"Daliah!"I turned to Daniel, a tinge of tension in the air. Hidden conversations with Daniel were the last thing I wanted, especially after the morning's episode of jealousy."Yes?" I replied hesitantly, bracing myself for

"But I need you to understand, Liam. I need to feel like more than just a possession, like more than just someone to be protected. I need to feel like your equal, your mate."His gaze never wavered as he reached out, his fingers gently brushing away the tears that stained my cheeks.

I woke up the next day to the melodious sounds of birds. As I opened my eyes, I realized I was alone in Liam's room. The doors and curtains were carefully closed. I got up and walked to the balcony door, only to find it locked with no visible key. I changed my clothes and attempted to open the main door leading to the hallway, but it was also securely locked."Hello?" I exclaimed, bewildered. Hearing the sound of locks being undone, a soldier finally opened the door."Good morning, Queen," he greeted."What is this? Was I locked in?" I questioned, incredulous."These are the king's orders," the soldier mumbled, seemingly confused.Surveying the hallway, I noticed the presence of so many guards that I couldn't count them. A strange sense of confinement began to set in, prompting me to question the reasons behind Liam's decisions.Each closed door echoed with a stifling silence, and the guarded expressions of the inhabitants heightened the palpable tension that clung to the air.

fear."If the wizard intends to strike at me, he knows precisely whom he has to target: you," he explained with a grave expression. "Get dressed. I need to consult with Allan, and you're coming with me." Liam's tone brooked no argument as he spoke, and I couldn't shake off the sense of impending danger that hung in the air.**A few minutes later, we found ourselves in the regal expanse of the throne room. Morphez, Allan, Liam, and I stood together, the gravity of the situation etched on our faces, as we faced the imminent threat that loomed over the kingdom."I can't believe it. I couldn't imagine the jewelry would be worn so soon," Daniel said, blaming himself."I hoped that wouldn't happen. The wizard wasn't a problem I wanted to deal with right now," Liam murmured, running his hands through his hair."It was my fault. I was busy exchanging barbs with the elk Marco, and I wasn't thinking about the problems that the stolen jewels would bring us," Daniel sighed, throwing himself into

Then, in a jolt, I awoke, my heart pounding erratically, still echoing with the remnants of the overwhelming nightmare.In the dimly lit room, an eerie silence filled the air. The slightly open doors drew my attention to the balcony, veiled by closed curtains. Behind the drapes, a shadowy figure remained motionless.An unsettling tension pulsed through me as I cautiously stood up, compelled by the mysterious presence on the other side of the billowing curtains. The room seemed to shrink, amplifying the irregular thudding of my heart.

Liam, seated on the throne, observed the unfolding scene with a measured gaze. His eyes flickered between me and the elders, gauging the atmosphere. The quietude was pregnant with unspoken implications, and it fueled the unease that pervaded the room.As the seconds ticked by, the elders seemed to come to a collective understanding. A nod from Elder Marco signaled a reluctant acceptance of my perspective, though skepticism still lingered."Very well pointed out, queen. Now tell me, why does the invader want to get our attention? You suggest that, first, he invaded the kingdom, then he killed Elder Krew. Lastly, he broke into my room and stole the jewels of wizard containment. What does the invader want?" Marco asked, leaning forward and staring at me threateningly."I do not..." I began, but Daniel's voice resonated with urgency, cutting through the air:"The wizard's containment gems?" Daniel practically shouted."Yes, beta. The jewels that were stolen were Magdar's jewels," Marco re
