Lady Emily Moore, who was known as Emily by her friends or Emmy by Lady Rebecca Davis, was looking outside the traveling carriage that she was taking to the East route. She was breathing in the country air for a long time as the sea can be heard and it was tasted in the air. Emily could not be happier.

It has been a rough year for her as her parents have been killed in a carriage accident and her brother was nowhere to be found. Emily has given up searching for her brother as she has no money or resources to do so. She can only hope that this new life that she chose will be much better than the life of a Lady in the town. She can hardly remember her time as a debutante when she would attend lavish balls and elegant parties just to catch the eye of a suitor. It was useless as she would disappear in the background whenever she could.

She usually spent some time with her friend, Lady Rebecca Davis who has recently married the Duke of Belikov and now was called Lady Rebecca Dragomir, the 8

    Emily was looking at the surroundings that were laid upon her when the maid was opening the master bedchamber in front of her. She gulped as she was looking at the messy bed and the papers were everywhere. "Here you go, the master bedchamber," the maid stated as she smiled before Emily was gripping the broom that she was given when she was in the servants' quarter earlier."Thank you," she said as she was looking at the bedchamber. She groaned inside."Don't forget. Be the shadows," the maid reminded her as she left Emily to her work. Emily was looking at the floor before she sighed as she was putting a pail of water with soap on the floor and she was looking at the dusty floor."Time to get busy then," she said as she was taking a brush and she was washing the floor. She was humming a happy song that she knew would lift her spirit before she did not notice that she was being watched from afar. Emily felt the tingling in her nape that she was being watched. She turned around to see tha

    Ian was looking at the royal couple as Arabella was smiling before Aiden was clearing his throat. "So, how was the search for your bride has been going?" Aiden asked Ian as he was snapping to the reality before the servants of his household were coming into the dining hall. One of them was the blondie. Ian was blinking his eyes before he turned to look at the prince consort again. Aiden was looking at Ian before Arabella was smirking at him. The marquis narrowed his eyes at the royal couple."It has been going well. I even got an invitation to a ball,'' he stated as the young queen was nodding at him."And will you be attending the ball, Ian?" Arabella asked before she was sipping on her wine. It was blood-laced because of the Porphyria that they had when they were younger. Now, they were changed people; Ian, Arabella, and Aiden. Except Aiden has a different story about his change. Arabella and Ian were both infected by birth but Aiden was infected when he married the young queen. Now,

    Ian was sipping on the railway before he was looking at the front door where the guests have arrived. He was one of the Higher Court that made it on time, which meant that he was early than the others. Arabella was happy to see him before she went to greet the other guests. He was sipping on the wine and he was happy to be out of that young queen's radar for the rest of the night."I see that you have been here for quite some time," greeted the Viscount of Vyckos, Daniel Cutler as he was smirking at Ian before the marquis was scoffing at another best friend of his. There were five of them, including him among the group. The viscount smiled before he was looking at the guests that came to the ball tonight.It was a masquerade ball after all.Ian has not put on his mask yet as he was trying to not roll his eyes at the viscount. I know that after this, it would be your turn, dumbass, Ian mused before he was smirking as he was looking at the guest. Then he saw her. The woman was adorning t

    Ian was looking at the mask that Emmy left behind before Arabella was sighing behind him. He turned to glare at the young queen before she was smirking at him. "Ah, the masquerade ball. The secret, the mask, and the elegant gown," the young queen said before her eyes were twinkling with mischief. "Not to mention, the forbidden kiss," she said as Aiden was chuckling behind her.Ian was looking at the royal couple before he got the sense of what was going on around him. How can I be so stupid? he mused before he was gripping the mask even tighter. "What are you planning, Your Majesty?" Ian asked Arabella who was arching her eyebrows at him. She gasped before she was putting her hand on her chest."Marquis of Kain, I don't know what are you talking about," she said as Ian was rolling his eyes at the young queen. Surely, all of this was her plan. The ball, the masquerade, and the invitation. Ian thought that Emily was a maid that worked for him.But he was wrong. So wrong that he wanted to

    Arabella was sipping on her blood-laced tea before a knock interrupted her. She glanced over her shoulder and it was her butler that was coming to give her a letter. Arabella was putting the cup down before she was opening the seal of the letter. She was reading the letter before she smirked. It seems that my plan worked, after all, she mused as she was folding the letter before her husband was coming into the study room that Arabella loved to spend her time in there."I see that you have a pleasant mood today, my love. Is there something that you wanted to share with me?" Aiden asked his wife before Arabella was smirking at him."Well, why don't you look at this?" She said before Aiden was taking the letter from her hand. Aiden read the content before he was shaking his head. He turned to look at his wicked wife as Arabella was sipping on her blood-laced tea. Everything has to be blood-laced for these aristocrats."One of your plans is working. I wonder what will happen next," Aiden s

    "I cannot believe that you will be married after two months of me getting married," Lady Rebecca Dragomir, the 8th Duchess of Belikov, was smiling as she was looking at the new Marchioness of Kain, Lady Emily Hassildor. Emily was smiling weakly at her best friend as Becca was smiling happily at Emily's union with Ian. If only she knew what I was bargaining with the marquis, Emily mused before she was looking at her husband who was talking with Becca's husband, Niklaus Dragomir, the 8th Duke of Belikov."So, do you want to tell me how he proposed?" Becca asked Emily before she sighed. He didn't, she mused before Emily was smiling at her best friend. Becca was waiting for her answer."Well, we sort of met at a ball," she started as Becca was nodding at her."Yes, and then?" She asked before Emily was feeling that her face was hot, remembering the details that happened in the garden before the young queen caught them in an inappropriate act. Emily was looking at Becca before she was shaki

    Emily was tossing and turning as she felt something soft on her. She opened her eyes before she was looking at an unfamiliar window as well as an unfamiliar surrounding around her. She sat up before she was looking at the grand bed that she was sitting on."Ah, you're awake. Finally," the deep voice that she knew belonged to Lord Dorian Hassildor, her husband now, was booming across the room as Emily turned in that direction. Ian was sipping on his tea as he was looking at her. "Sleep well, my dear?" He asked before Emily was looking at herself. She was in her thin, white muslin chemise before she was pulling the blanket on the bed to cover herself. Ian chuckled. "It's not like I haven't seen anything," he said that made Emily glare at him."What are you doing in my bedchamber?" She asked before she did not know if it was her bedchamber after all. Ian chuckled lowly before he stood up from the divan that he was sitting on to go to the edge of the bed. Emily gripped the blanket tighter.

    Emily was standing with Ian next to her under the moonlight as the sound of their carriage was coming up to stop in front of them. Ian was looking wickedly handsome with his Ditto suit; black waistcoat, breeches, and outer coat. She could not help but ogle at her handsome husband before she was looking away as Ian was turning at her. "After you, milady," he said as he was offering his hand to help Emily to get on the carriage while she was gathering her skirts. After she was seated, Ian got inside the carriage as well before he tapped his griffin cane to the roof and the carriage was moving forward."I hope you will not get drunk again, wife, for there will be some other lords from the Higher Court. I don't want you to ruin your reputation again like the night of our reception," Ian said as Emily was looking at him. She felt a pang inside her chest as she was nodding her head."Of course, as you wish, my lord," she said as she was turning her head to look outside the window. She can se

    It’s been one month. One fucking month until I can get my hands on Aiden’s body. Not that I don’t have anything to complain about but right now, I was relieved that we had escaped the party and the coronation for I was the current monarch with my prince consort.Aiden Dragomir.Niklaus was furious that I would marry a commoner but when I explained to him that Aiden was my soulmate and my demon had been claiming him as mine, he did not have anything to add anymore.He just let me plan the wedding and the coronation on the same day.It was exhausting, of course, for I was running around, cheering when the people of Niapachad Island were coming together to look at me. As well as the only queen who took a commoner as her prince consort.I was breaking history today, people!I sighed as I was leaning against the door when Aiden was removing his cravat from his neck, sauntering inside my bedchambers with the elegance tha

    After Arabella left, Aiden was looking around his room for any trace of her. I cannot believe that she tricked me, he thought furiously before he took the clothes that Arabella wore and threw them into the fireplace. He was breathing hard before he was looking at the crackling firewood when his Nana entered the room.“You cannot blame her for why she’s been keeping a secret from you,” she said before Aiden was turning to look at his grandma.“So you know who she was? All this time?” he asked before he snorted. Aiden cannot believe that his Nana herself would not tell him the truth. The old woman shrugged.“Well, it was not my secret to tell and I have been hinting at her to tell you the truth. Perhaps she was afraid that you might be reacting like you are now?” she said before Aiden growled.“It’s not the same,”“No? Then you mustn’t forget the first time when you discovered th

    I was looking at myself in the mirror as I was wiping my face. I sighed before I felt the stiff muscles as I slept on the chair last night. Next to Aiden. I smiled before I walked out of the washroom and Aiden was standing outside.“Oh, you’re awake already?” I asked him as he was looking at me. He smiled charmingly before he was nodding.“Yeah, I think I had the strangest dream ever last night,” he said as I was arching my eyebrows.“Oh, do tell?” I said as I was smiling at him. Aiden was looking at me before he shook his head.“You would not believe it,”“Try me,”He took a deep breath before I was waiting for him to continue, “I dreamed that your eyes were bleeding black and you attacked the cronies that my boss was coming at you to rape you. I tried to stop it but I was being stabbed in the stomach. It seems…so surreal that I don’t think I was dreaming a

    Aiden was looking at the people that were coming at him at once. He was determined to keep Arabella from getting hurt as his boss and his cronies were going after her.“You son of a bitch! You will share your whore with us!” his boss said before they were coming at him. Aiden was thinking faster than his action. He took his ax and swung it as a form of defense. But of course, it was not going to deter the men from coming at Arabella.“Come on, lads! He just one man, what harm can he do to us?” the boss said before everyone was laughing. Aiden was gritting his teeth before he was slamming his shoulder into the boss. He went down before the cronies were coming at him, punching and kicking him in the stomach as he went down.“Aiden!” Arabella’s shout as he was struggling to keep his head above the attack. It was all his coworkers who did not have any honor or dignity in their blood. They only wanted to have fun and Arabella

    Niklaus was looking outside the castle as the sun was on the horizon. He could not get any sleep lately for he feared that his cousin might be in danger. The all lords of the Higher Court were worried about their monarch.“Anything?” Niklaus asked his friend, Baron of Fell, Marsh, before he shook his head. Niklaus sighed before he took a seat at the head of the council meeting. There were five of them, the inner circle that Niklaus trusted to find his missing cousin.Bloody hell, Arabella, why do you have to be so stubborn at times? He thought before Ian was looking at him.“So, what do we do now? We cannot just sit idly and not be taking action about this. The prince will come here any day now and if Her Highness was not around to receive him—”“There will be a catastrophe. I know,” Niklaus said as he was rubbing his dry mouth. He did not know where or when Arabella had been slipping away from the palace but thei

    Aiden was cutting the lumber into small pieces so that it would be easier to burn for the winter. He wiped his forehead which was accumulated with sweat before his boss came from behind.“Rough night, Blackwood?” he asked before Aiden turned to look at him. He was regarding the man before he smirked.“You could say that,” he said as he was cutting the log again. His boss smirked.“I bet that woman who warms your bed was worth it then. How much you got her for?”Aiden stopped his work before he turned to look at his boss. He was smirking at Aiden before he smiled charmingly at him.“She’s not for sale. She’s my wife,” Aiden lied smoothly before the boss was blinking his eyes at him.“You’re joking, right?” his boss asked but Aiden just left the conversation there as he was making his way out of the lumber field.“Have a good day then,” Aiden said

    I woke up early the next morning because I was excited to get my first job. I know that my job would always be a monarch but to think that I will have an experience outside of state affairs and proposals for once would be the thrill of my life.The dusk was shining with orange sunlight before the sun was on the horizon. I took a shower before I put on the clothes that were provided by Nana for me. She told me that it once belonged to Aiden’s mother and I don’t know if I should be happy or not.I never asked about his parents and sometimes, I wished I had the courage to. But I don’t want to destroy the fragile relationship that we have anymore. I was threading the thread carefully now so that Aiden would be open to me more.If only.I was putting on the chemise before I was putting on the stays that will put my breasts in place. Then, I put on the petticoats, 5 layers of them, right before I put on the gown. It was a modest gown with long

    I walked along with Aiden as he was putting his hands inside his pockets. I was looking at him from the corner of my eyes before I was looking at the moon. It was full tonight and everything was perfect in this little moment.I did not know what came over me but my mouth was humming the lullaby that my mother always sang to me whenever I went to bed. And I was doing that right now as Aiden was looking at me strangely.“How do you know that lullaby?” he asked me before I turned to look at him. His emerald orbs were shining under the moonlight.“Hmm? What?”“That song you were humming. My mother used to sing that to me as well,” he said with a hint of sadness before I stopped humming it altogether.“No, don’t stop. It just…no one ever heard that before,” he said as he turned to look at me. “until you,”I smiled before I hummed again the music that haunted both of us. My m

    Aiden was making his way into the forest for his job as a lumberjack. He was carrying his favorite ax before his boss showed up in front of him.“Fancy seeing you here at this hour. I thought you might be late again, Blackwood,” his boss sneered before Aiden smiled at him, not feeling threatened by anything.“Well, what can I say? The woman that graced my bed last night was making me sleep late and I have to be here before you can say anything else, so here I am,” he said as he was setting up himself for his job. The boss was arching his eyebrow at him.“I thought you’re not approved of that way of life?” his boss asked him before Aiden shrugged.I am but I will not be telling you, “Perhaps I need to experience it myself before I can judge it,” Aiden said before he put on his protective mask and started on the lumber that was his quota for the day. The boss just nodded at him before leaving Aiden to hi
