"As a guest of the palace irrespective of your peerage, it's expected that your carriage should introduce you before you say a word to another," Mrs. Worthington went on saying, with Emilia slouched in her seat, counting her fingers to the time when their blasted lesson would end.

"I thought by today we would be gone past your wrong posture," The woman sighed, tapping her temples dramatically. "But from what I see, it seems to have worsened from the past."

No word from Emilia. In fact, the only word she had said in this class was to greet Mrs. Worthington when she came into the room.

"You might need a ladies ' pamphlet to aid you."

"What!" The first word Emilia was uttering. "Why do I need a pup's pamphlet? I am an adult!"

"Then behave like one, Young Ms. You hardly show any motivation for wanting to learn, demanding I do all I can to make sure you are on point with my admonitions."

"Nothing, Ma'am." Emilia sl

    41“I am tired of you, Emilia.” “I am tired of you, Emilia.” “I am tired of you, Emilia.” These words keep ringing in Emilia’s head.“Why not let me go, huh?” Emilia asks him. “You do not want me here, right? Why not let me go, huh?”“Why are you yelling, Emilia?” Milan asks. “We were just having a conversation, and you started yelling! Do you now see why I need you to be cultured? Do you now see why you need those classes badly?”Emilia’s face falls immediately. “Fuck you!” She yells.“What did you just say to me?” Milan turns to look at her. “What the hell did you just say?”“You heard me right.” Emilia says. “Fuck you!” She repeats. “All you have done since we met is badger me, control me and make me feel like I am less of myself. I am tired of you controlling me, Milan! What do you take me for, huh? What do you think of me?” She asks with tears in her eyes.Milan walks closer to her and speaks to her in a low tone. “Emilia, I have never wanted you to feel less of yourself. It’

What is going on?” Milan asks. “Dylan just briefed me. What is going on?” He repeats.“We got wind of some weird and suspicious movement at the far end of the north.” The lead commander, Russel, says. “We decided to ignore it because it is way far from our border. Due diligence made us see what was going on.” He further explains.“That is very good.” Milan says. “I am glad that all of you have been on your feet with regards to the protection of this border. However, we must not dismiss anything, do you understand?”“Yes sir!” The soldiers chorus.“Good.” Milan says.“Master, we understand that you want us to go the extra mile, so what do you want us to do, exactly?” Russel asks.“I want us to camp around this place for

She is not in the mood for any trouble. All she wants to do is to go back to her room and rest.“Emilia, are you deaf?” Penelope yells.Emilia turns sharply, bumping into Milan’s mother.“Did you just hit me?” Penelope asks with a high-pitched voice. It is obvious that she wants to draw attention to them-she definitely wants to cause a scene.“What? I did not hit you, ma’am. You only bumped into me.” Emilia says.“Oh, so you have the nerve to talk back at me, huh?” Penelope asks.“Look, ma’am, I do not want to disrespect you. I only wanted to talk to Milan, and seeing that he is not available, I want to be in my room.” Emilia says. “I will talk to him when he gets back.” She adds.“Yeah, right.” Penelope scoffs. “What makes you think that he wants to talk to you?” She rolls her eyes.“I…I don’t understand.” Emilia says.

    44Emilia quickly goes back to her room. She is feeling kind of sleepy, so she goes into the bathroom, takes her bath, and then dives under the covers.

If he does not want to talk to her anymore, it is just fine; she will survive.Soon, she falls deeply asleep.The next morning, she hears a loud bang on her door.

    45Emilia keeps walking in the woods. She is glad that she was able to put all the things that she would need in her duffel bag.As she keeps walking, she remembers her past. She remembers all that she has experienced in Milan’s pack. She had really tried to soften, to like him for at least something, so that the two of them would get along civilly. She was already at that point when everything started to crumble.What the hell?Milan must really hate her, for him to have left, just like that; for him to have left her at the mercy of his mother.“That bitch.” She murmurs to herself. Milan definitely knew that his mother did not like her, so why was he so pissed that he left her?Why did he leave her? He could have waited and spoken to her, he could have waited and let them iron out their differences.Well, fuck him. She does not need him anymore. She is the only one that she has; she cannot do this with anybody.She’s got herself, and herself alone.*****Milan is in the woods with hi

She was actually carrying a duffel bag, so I don’t think she is coming back.” The maid says.It feels like Milan’s world is coming to an end.“What…do you know why she left?” He asks the maid.“I….I…I can’t tell you, Master.” The maid says.“Why?” Milan asks, his eyebrows knotting in confusion.“Because… it was the Queen Mother that kind of sent her away.” The maid says and scampers as soon as she sees Milan’s mother walking towards them.“What?” Milan exclaims and then turns to his mother. “Why would you do that?” He asks in anger.“Milan, why are you shouting?” Penelope asks. “You did not even appreciate the warm bath I set up for you!” She yells.“Mom, I appreciate the bath, and I enjoyed it, but I am pissed!” Milan yells. “Where is Emilia?” He asks.“She is gone. She left three days ago.” Penelope a

    46Emilia walks towards the men as stealthily as possible, careful not to startle them or piss them o. She does not want to start a war or fight. The elk is at the back of one of the large trees afar off; she does not want to draw more attention to herself by bringing it along with her to the cave.The men are sitting on the floor, and it looks like they are merrying. There are drinks on the floor, and she can also see plates of meat on the floor. It looks like they also went hunting.“Hello….” Emilia waves her hands.The three of them turn to look at her.“Who are you?” One of them asks with a menacing look on his face. “What do you want here?” He asks.“I…do you guys live here?” She asks them.“Why are you asking?” Another man asks. Emilia can see that he is sweeping her entire body with his eyes.“Look what we have here,” the third man says, licking his lips.Emilia is beginning to think that this whole thing is a bad idea.“Look, I just wanted to know if you lived here.” She point

    57Emilia starts to fume. “What do you mean, and why the hell are you arrogant?” She asks Milan.“I am just so sure that you are reasonable, Emilia. I saw that in you a long time ago, most especially when we were both in the woods together, and I told you that you could be in so much danger if you stayed in the woods on your own.” Milan says.Emilia glares at him and shakes her head internally. This guy does not even know shit about her; he does not know half of what she is capable of.Well, it is a good thing that he does not- it will make him definitely let his guard down just when she needs it to be down.“Fine.” She says.“Good girl,” Milan mutters under his breath.“What did you just say?” Emilia asks.“Nothing. I said, ‘thank you’.” Milan says.They both keep riding, and although this is the first time Emilia is riding a horse, she seems proficient at it. Milan is very surprised.“Are you sure this is your first time on a horse?” He asks as they ride side by side.“Yup,” Emilia
