“Why don’t you just let her go by herself? That way, you will not have to suffer for another boring part of the night,” Ian said before the duke chuckled.
“If you knew anything about our marriage at all, you guess it all wrong, my friend,” the duke said as their carriages were in front of the castle.
“Well, I would love to sit and chat but I have an appointment with my wife. Good day, my friends,” Niklaus said as he was getting into the carriage. The footman closed the door and the carriage moved forward. Ian laughed before his carriage stopped in front of them.
“Are you going to wait out here? Where’s your ride?” Ian asked before another carr

Everyone thinks that the gentry is nothing but a social hierarchy that takes advantage of our daily lives. We, as the common folks and peasants of Niapachad Island, might not have agreed to this social system but it was the only one that we got.Many have speculated that the gentry hides something from our common knowledge. Well, here I am, Miss J, to debunk some of the rumors and maybe put them to a stop. We cannot think that the gentry was hiding something.This is my initial hypothesis as I have come to find the reason for my latest research. And here you are, reading it right now. I have spent some time with a gentleman who was from the gentry. He was from the Higher Court, the court that was serving the young queen Arabella Dragomir as well as her prince consort, Aiden Dragomir.I know it was hard to believe but I can assure you, all the information that I have collected has been sorted out and it was the only conclusion that I have come to agree w

Caroline did not know that her author would be marrying and settling down.Unlike me, she mused as she was looking out the window of the mansion that was located in the south of Niapachad Island.It was ruled by the Viscount of Vyckos and it has been forever since she can get out of this mansion. Her parents were out in the sea to go on their voyage as well as their vacation to sell their goods and come back with new items for trading.Caroline sighed before her maid, Lexi, was coming to stoke the fire. Caroline was looking at her before an idea struck her brain.Eureka!Lexi bowed to her before Caroline gestured to her to come to her side.

“I don’t think this would be a good idea, mum. I have to make sure that you will be with me all the time,” Lexi said as Caroline was walking ahead of her. She knew that her master and lady would not appreciate this if they found out their only daughter and heir were walking down on the market without any bodyguards.And most of them all, Caroline was disguising herself as a maid!“Oh, don’t be so dramatic, Lexi. And what did I tell you about calling me ‘mum’? I thought we were friends of the same social status and we were going shopping for groceries,” Caroline said as she scanned the area.If I had known that you would be dressing in my clothes, I would have not let you come with me, Lexi mused before she sighed and closed her eyes for a moment. Then, when she opened her eyes, Caroline was gone.“Caroline? Caroline? Caroline?!” Lexi shouted but of course, Lady Caroline Hurst wa

After making sure that she was cleaned up and dried herself, Ava put on the thin muslin chemise that her mother gave to her. Lady Randolph has whispered to her to entice her husband on their wedding night, so that’s what she was doing right now.Even Ava did not want to admit it, she did want to entice her husband to his knees.She shook her head after that thought before she made sure that her hair was in place. Then, she moved to the bedchamber as she was opening the door of the chamber. The warmth was filling the air as the fire crackled in the fireplace before she saw that Marsh was standing in front of it, holding two glasses of brandy.Her heart soared when he turned to look at her and he sucked on a breath. Her mother’s strategy worked as Ava was approaching him.“For me?” Ava asked about the brandy before Marsh blinked his eyes, trying not to stare at her undressing state. Ava loved it when her husband was speechless right

Caroline was shocked to know that someone was saving her. The stranger was a brunette and by the looks of it, he might be 6 feet 4 inches. But of course, Caroline was not focusing on that when there was a whole gang that this man should be handling.“Watch out,” she shouted when the stranger released the leader that was attacking her. She was gripping the trinket that she bought at the last vendor before the man attacked the other that was coming at her.Caroline was so anxious before she was standing still against the wall that she did not realize someone was coming at her by her side. The man gripped her arm and she cried out, wanting to getaway. Hearing those screams, her stranger was coming at the man who was gripping her arm and knocking him out.“Are you alright?” the man asked before Caroline was blinking her eyes at the young man. He has the most vivid green eyes that she has seen in his life. His face was angular with chiseled ja

“I don’t even know why my parents wanted to torture me like this,” Caroline whined when Lexi was pulling her laces on the corset that she was going to wear underneath the gown that her mother got from the Isle of Thethern. They were known for the best dresses and fabrics available there.“I think she wanted you to look your best tonight, my lady. Besides, I heard that Viscount Vyckos will be attending the ball as well,” Lexi said before Caroline sighed.“Another reason that I don’t want to go even though I am the guest of honor,” Caroline said before she gasped as Lexi was pulling her lace too tight.“I am so sorry, my lady. I don’t know that it would suck the breath out of you,” Lexi said before Caroline was asking her to untie a little bit of her corset.“Much better,” Caroline said before she was looking at her reflection in the mirror right now.

ARABELLAIf I knew my geography right, there would be a nice, quaint village on the southeast of Royal Molftus, the capital of Niapachad Island. I was moving quietly toward the stables where they keep all the horses that were used by the royalties and where my mare was being kept.I was lurking in the shadows before I sensed the guards that were patrolling the parameter. I held my breath before I heard that they were talking with each other about some stupid games and some women who would be warming their beds tonight.If they finished their shifts early.I rolled my eyes at their notions before I made my move toward the stable. I slipped through the back door as there was no one expecting me from there. I closed the door and I was greeted by the smell of hays and horse dung.Worse combination ever.I was making my way toward the stall that housed my mare. I patted his nose before he was neighing against my hand. I shu

ARABELLA“It is a shame that our king and queen were lost and drowned in the shipwreck. Our condolences to Princess Arabella and the Duke of Belikov,” someone from the Higher Court said as I was holding the champagne in my hand. I smiled before I nodded at him and drank my wine. ItWas bubbly but nothing was much worse than pretending that I wanted to be here.I just wanted to be left alone but of course, Niklaus will not let me have my moment.After that, the Lords of the Higher Court were looking at each other before I put the glass down. Then, Lord Davenport spoke as he cleared his throat.“Princess, as we all know, you are in mourning for two weeks and I understand if you think this discussion will not be gracing your ears, but I must insist that you will hear it nonetheless,” he said before I was looking at him, arching my eyebrows.“And what matter is it that you are trying to tell m

ARABELLAI don’t know what to say but to stare at the bodies that the royal guards assured me. I was not going to cry, but when Niklaus hugged me and told me to be strong, tears were starting to accumulate in my eyes.Heat swelled behind them before I was blinking my eyes as I turned to look at my cousin. He was looking solemn before he was patting my shoulder.“Stay strong, Ara. You know you can do it,” he said before I turned to see that he had ordered the guards to put the king and queen’s bodies away before the funeral tomorrow. I looked after the white sheets that covered them and as always, the tears were not coming out.I will not cry. I will be strong. I cannot let them beat me, I reminded myself before I took a deep breath and I went out of the hallway as I was going to my room. Preferably to sleep it off and just to think this was a nightmare.A real nightmare.The next morning came, and I h

Marsh went into the study room and he went up to the decanter that has all sorts of poison for his choice. He took the rum and poured it down into a glass before he was sipping it in one go, leaving a burning taste of it inside his throat.He stopped his glass midway when he was turning on all his senses to hear something. Someone was coming for him and it took all his might not to turn to look at the lady that has been attracting his attention from the start.Marsh knew that it was not good for her and himself if he was to deny their attraction to one another. It was one thing that he hated about the match that was being made by the queen.He sighed before he was sipping on the rum as his wife was making her way into the study room.“You’re wrong,” she said as she was panting when she was coming to stand in the doorway as Marsh was trying to ignore the demon that wanted to claim her inside him.’Mine,’ it sai

Ava was sipping on the wine as the ladies were talking with each other and she was one of them as well. The Duchess of Belikov, Becca was smiling as her best friend, Emily, the marchioness of Kain were talking with each other.“I cannot believe that Daniel’s cousin is finally married. And here we are trying to figure out the man myself but here we are talking to his wife right now. How do you not know that your husband’s cousin was in town, Caroline?” the ladies asked my best friend before she shrugged.“Hey, I am not in this family for so long and I am not his maid. Daniel did not know that he was getting married until we had the invitation,” Caroline said as she was sipping on the wine. I smiled.“At least, we will not be playing with the queen’s matchmaking anymore. It was hard when she wanted our husbands to find a bride and to think that she had a say in anything,” Jessie said as she was shaking her head. I pondered on that.“Yeah, Niklaus and I met

Ava has been flustered after the vows that they exchanged in the church earlier. She could not think straight as she was trying to make sure that everything was going exactly like she planned for Marsh to be surprised when she walked down the aisle in a sensual dress and the men were looking at her.She managed that moment as Marsh was not talking to her after the vows and when they had to leave for their reception, he was still not talking to her. Not in the carriage, certainly not when they have to greet their guests for their wedding celebration.Not until Marsh was planning something to her for going against his wish with the wedding gown.“Welcome, how are you? Where is Harold?” Marsh greeted Lord Davenport and his wife as they were coming through the front door of their fortress. Ava sighed inwardly as she knew tonight would be the first night for her to be spending at her new household, in which she was the mistress.Not her mother.

Ava walked to the study room that her mother insisted she come. She just got out of the bath and she was ready to take on a new thought before she heard some conversation inside the room. And it was about her, none the wiser.“…I will be in touch then, Lord Randolph,” the familiar voice came from inside the room as the servant opened the door for Ava to enter. It was her mother who spotted her first before she was greeting her.“Ava, dear, would you like some tea? His Lordship was about to leave as he thought he would not be meeting you,” her mother said with a glistening shine in her eyes that made Ava want to know what they were talking about in the first place. She was aware that it was about her, so might as well get some information about it.“You waited for me?” Ava asked Marsh as she was locking her eyes with his. He smiled before her mother was fussing over them and they were not the only ones that wanted to be

Marsh was looking at himself in the mirror, standing from head to toe. He sighed as he was tying the cravat onto his neck. This is not what I had in mind when I was coming back here, hosting a dinner party for the queen and her seneschal, Marsh thought before a knock disturbed him.“Come in,” he said before the old butler was coming into the bedchamber. He was smiling at him before the butler bowed to him.“The guests are here, my lord,” the old man said as Marsh was nodding at him. He was looking at himself for the last time before he took the cravat and put it inside his waistcoat.“Are the seneschal and his family here as well?” he asked the butler before the old man nodded.“Aye, my lord. And the daughter is a pretty one. I think the young queen has chosen well,” the butler said as Marsh frowned at him. If the butler did not know about this matter, Marsh would certainly make some other arrangement as wel

Ava was smiling at the carriage ride as she was holding hands with Marsh right now. She did not know when this developed but after that kiss that they shared, she knew that she was being courted by this lord.Is this what it felt like to be courted to marry? Ava smiled as she felt the hand that was squeezing hers. She turned to look at Marsh before he smiled upon her.“I see that you are quite content with yourself, darling,” he said as he used the endearment that was only reserved for someone dear to them. And right now, Marsh was using that on her. Her heart was beating fast before she blushed and smiled shyly as Marsh was pulling her closer.This is heaven, Ava mused before she was looking at the mansion that was standing still in front of her. She gave the directions to get to her house but she did not classify which one was hers.She just hoped that Marsh did not want to come and greet her parents. She was not ready for
