Running in the hallway, Minister Kingsley pants out hard."Y-Your Highness?" He calls unintentionally while Grand Duke Kristofer raises his brow in wonder. Then, the Grand Duke speaks---
"Why are you calling the Prince? We haven't seen him yet."
Twitching his mouth in displeasure, the Minister spouts back. "I miss our Prince. It's natural for me to mutter him."
Smirking, the Grand Duke playfully claims, "I glad to hear your honest feelings."
Scowling at the Grand Duke's comment, Minister Kingsley tells lovingly, "I raise that child too."
Raising his hands in the air while running, Grand Duke Kristofer mutters, "Yeah... You don't have to explain yourself. I get you."
Then, Grand Duke Kristofer puts his hands down and focuses his vision on the pathway.
After some time, they arrive a

Prince Alphonso couldn't blame the Knight on duty since he is the one who told them to report any possible intruder of the Kingdom. Yet, in His Highness's mind--- 'They are attacking so early! Fuck them!' He tries to release his strong pheromones, causing everyone to stop wailing. For some reason, his pheromone is not suffocating them. Instead, it soothes their palpitating nerves. Everyone starts to calm down as the Prince's pheromones slowly cease in the air. "Calm down, everyone. I cannot afford to repeat the same mistake." The Prince proclaims with his eyes looking so blinding. All of them start to focus on the Prince and forgets the fact that they are in danger. Before the Prince could switch his head to the Knight, a longing vo

Asks the Archduke, sternly.All the Knights have gathered in the site as the Grand Duke stands in the center podium."Your Excellency," One of the Knights comes to call for his attention and the Archduke turns his head to face the Knight.When he is about to land his vision to the Knight, he catches a glimpse at the Lady, standing next to the Knight."What are you doing here?" Raising his brow in concern, Archduke Ridge's heart begins to raise."I come to see you. You were gone when I opened my eyes, so I got scared the hell out to search for you," The Lady replies as her lips turn downwards.Signing heavily, Archduke Ridge walks closer to her, leaving the center podium.The Lady watches her mate getting closer to her spot as she knitted her brows together, feeling tense.

Majesty Dyrroth's eyes burn in wrath to see the Earl interrupting him from his orders. "You've been odd today, Earl Ciel." The Majesty remarks, shooting him with such an intensifying glare. Early Ciel did not shiver from those deadly eyes from their Majesty. Instead, he tries to divert the Majesty's attention to the small details Majesty Dyrroth fails to notice. "Look, Your Majesty." Earl Ciel tells, pointing his index finger at the border of the Kingdom. In such a surprise, the Knights of the Raphbarg Kingdom have already positioned themselves defensively. The metals of their shield, covering their heads have shine under the rays of the sun. "Looks like they have anticipated our attack." Earl Ciel comments calmly as he keeps his face straight, unbothered.

I came here to visit today because I have something important to show you," Tells the man with a grim look on his face.Subconsciously, Viscountess Pierce shivers down to her spine while looking at his dark expression. She anxiously queries, "May I know your name gentleman?"Crafting a tricky smile on his, the man replies in a much softer voice, "I am quite hurt that you didn't recognize me, Viscountess Pierce. I am Earl Ciel."Knowing the man's name, the Viscountess feels ashamed for not recognizing the man immediately. Yet, she wonders in her mind why the Earl is looking for her.Straightforwardly, the Earl throws Viscountess Pierce a question while staring at the depth of her eyes."Where's Viscount Pierce? Is he sick? Are you neglecting your husband's health?"Flinchi

I-I," Minister Kingsley couldn't force out another word from his mouth as the scene brought him to devastation. Grand Duke Kristofer sympathized with the Minister's emotions and distraught as he couldn't bring himself to explain what happened in detail. But, as a person engaged with so many battles in his life, Grand Duke Kristofer is sure immune to any gruesome scenery like this. Or perhaps, even much worse than this. "Minister Kingsley, you should not expose yourself too much. I can see the fear in your eyes." Grand Duke Kristofer says in a worried tone as he tries not to lose his mind during this time. Minister Kingsley tries to shrug off the discomfort and uneasiness as he stammers in twisted tongue, "W-What's the situation--" The Grand Duke i

Then, together, they will launch a sneaky attack. Heading towards the west, the Archduke focuses his vision on the pathway as the sound of the hoofs rumbles on the ground. They keep their tempo on the time as none of them loses their mind, even though the Palace's situation is in a state of panic. Leaves of the trees covering up the sunlight as it creates dots of light in the way, the Archduke's body still feels the heat of the sun. His body is visibly sweating in his royal uniform. On their way, a sound of a shrieking woman grasps their attention as the small sniffles echoes in the woods. "Stop your horses!" The Archduke warily commands as they halt their horses to stop running. Scanning on the wooden area, the Archduk

Minister Kingsley yells im anger at the royal doctor the moment he arrives at their stop.William clicks his tongue in annoyance to Minister Kingsley's irritating voice.He clears his throat, keeping his face uninterested, "I didn't leave King Hedery's side to do something stupid. I only left to show the Archduke the truth. The truth that Lady Iris is alive. Plus, he needs to know about it."Fanning himself as he shakes his head, Minister Kingsley spits back, "Enough with those reasons, you better head back to the King's room and check King Hedery's condition. I am disappointed in you, William."Sighing loudly to the Minister's unconstrained insolence, the royal doctor bows his head before turning his back at them.The Prince rubs his forehead in distress to these two men and P

And Early Ciel growls aggressively, "You must get pass through me.""Oh, my Goddess! Help me!" The Viscountess shrieks as she tries to pick her pace, running through these uneven surfaces of the ground.On her way out of the woods, getting closer to the Raphbarg's passage, the Viscountess stumbles on a small rock as her black two inches shoe flies away. Her body drops to the ground, and her face is dunk on the dirty soil. She scorns as she reacts to the stingy pain on her toe and cheek."Argh!" She

Minister Kingsley asks eagerly. Jealousy runs in Minister Kingsley's head as he didn't know about the letter Prince Alphonso and William see talking about... Royal Doctor William looks away from Kingsley's intense gaze. It's been two months since Prince Alphonso's return. He witnessed Duke Martin, Duchess Melany, Count Montre, and the other 51 nobles' downfall as they are found guilty of running the black market of Jumiere Kingdom. After that very moment, Prince Julian becomes the King of the Jumiere Kingdom, leaving Prince Alphonso proud of him. The Prince learned about Princess Corine's dream of traveling around in different places--- to his surprise. He also learned about Prince Ridge and Lady Ruby's closure, which was devastated.

Craig caresses his mother's forehead as he speaks, "I thought I wouldn't see you... I thought I lost you both..." "I am so happy that I and your father are saved from that place. We don't wanna be there again." Their mother weeps, and Craig hugs her once again. He didn't want to hear anything from them because what matters to Craig is that they're all safe. "Genesis, I miss you." Her father says lovingly while Lady Genesis wipes his tears away. "I miss you too, Father. No words can express how happy I am."

You owe me an explanation!""Get the Duchess... I don't want unaccountable."

I thought you liked me!"Her heart shatters into pieces."Listen, Ruby, don't you ever say that I didn't like you. I wouldn't become a better man to you if I cannot help my people first," Ridge bites his lips as he spouts those words out. He finds himself in a tight situation, and he knows this is difficult for both of them.
