The Duke's Daughter

'Ring! Ring!'   A clock beeped at exact 6:30 am, as the sun illuminates from the window, spreading light to the room.   Inside the room, something stirred at the covers of the bed, revealing a figure of a woman with a long wavy black hair and pale skin.   Lifting herself out of the bed, wearing comfortable sleepwear, she fixes the covers and left the room.   Her day started like that 750 years ago; ever since she decided to live among humans and tried to look out for her father who went missing after chasing a close friend. Whatever happened to her father that day, no one knows of his whereabouts and triggered something to the island, forcing her and his father's butler to leave the place and tried to look for him.   Her day starts like that, pretending to be a human when it wasn't one of her strengths. But in order to survive, she needs to adjust and leave what she was accustome

December 19XX Shell Harbor, Bahamas   From Cass' perspective, being a doctor in a war-stricken world as a woman is sort of being discriminated against. After all, women aren't allowed to do work that is mainly for men. That's why as soon as their group was deployed and were welcomed by the commander, a curious gaze and murmurs were circulating them. And all of it was directed towards her, seeing her wearing a lab gown amongst the group of young men who wears the same clothing. Her uniqueness made others ostracize her but be amaze her at the same time, thinking that she's foolish enough to do it.   Even the nurses who were sent there first were jealous of her accomplishment. But some patients, especially the males, are hesitant to be touched by her, being a woman and a doctor.   No one let her stay in some small bunk that is for her as a doctor, even the nurses were avoiding her like a plague. On the island where

A voice that had been etched deep into her soul. Her father's voice.   "...Long time no see."   Cass turned towards her father. Looking at her father, she noticed that compared to her father's previous complexion, it's pale in comparison. "What happened? You used your soul weapon again, didn't you?"   Her father just looks at her. Cass knows that her father won't say anything, after all, she understands him more than anything. They are the same but different. She had changed her perspectives in life when she left her home   "Michael is dead," Cass' father, Clyde, said.   "He's with his daughter. And wife." She answers. When they both found out that year that Michael's daughter, Alaina, died from the war between two countries, a victim of the war.   "I killed him," Clyde confesses. "So that he won't hurt all humans that day; we fought until we are both ex

It has been a few days since Cass and her company had resided in Sebastian's place. Daniel reported right away the next day of their arrival. And resume his position at the company. Charlie went back to the airport to hide the airplane they use to somewhere that only Charlie and Cassielle knows where.   As she had said, she didn't want to attend high school together with her Dad, since she has other matters to attend to. But today, she tells Sebastian that a certain person will come to the house, and it's her employee.   "A tailor will come here upon my request. So if you also want a set of new clothes, go to the tailor, she'll know what to do." Cass told at the breakfast table together with the others.   "Lady Elise, are you sure you don't want to attend school with us?" Diana asks.   "My little moon," Cass starts to explain. "I'm taking a college degree when Sebastian and Dad decided to take me bac

December 19XX Shell Harbour, Bahamas   After a small attack on the base, the soldiers are trying to revive the base bit by bit, few people got wounded, including some civilians and women.   "We have a female doctor here, right? How is she? I heard no one let her stay the first night, who knows where is sleeping." A young man in his early twenties with oil on his face from smears at his hands asked.   A group of pilots surrounded him while working when Charles spoke. "You sound concerned to the lady doctor, Jason. Do you like her?"   "I'm not saying that I like her, or what," the young man, Jason, defended himself. "She was outcasted already before she made her job as a doctor because she's a woman. No one accepted her just for a night? So, where did she slept?"   "You are indeed concerned of her, Jace." Charles teased him. "No one dared to ask where she is sleeping, but o
