She thought of an excuse for what to do. Raziel is surely angry through his mask showing.
She snorted at that. He was the one who kept on pushing her away earlier and when she. Disappeared for a few hours, he panicked like this.
What really does he want her to do?
Quickly, she went back doors, carefully avoiding Raziel’s men who kept on shouting for her name. She quickly got in the window and brushed herself, acting like nothing was happening, and remained calm.
A gasp came from the hallways, and Roxy came running to her.
“Quiet!” Lady Vienna whispered, not wanting the men to find her.
Raziel’s eyes opened at the sound, looked at her, and smiled. “Goodmorning.”“G-good morning.” She said, “Was there a dragon beside me...last night?” She asked, feeling like she’s lost her mind and hoping Raziel would understand her question. It was a dream, right? Please tell me it was a dream!“Oh yeah...about that...that was me..” Raziel said. Realizing he was naked, he wrapped the blanket around him.“I apologize for that, Vienna. I didn’t mean to scare you.”“That was...you? You’re a dragon?” She repeated, processing the words.She thought sh
The duke just let her, and still focused on his work. “But it's only you who would dare to open this study. And my face is itchy. I’ll have to get to the guild to have it replaced by Fedel soon.” She sighed. So he’s still busy. “Then what about our lunch?” “Soon. I’ll finish all of this for once and I’ll spend some time with you.” Her heart skipped a beat at that and nodded, “Then I’ll wait for you here.” After a few minutes, Raziel stood a glance at him. “What?” She asked, “Don’t mind me, I’m alright here.” Raziel shook his head, “No, I can’t focus with you here
The door opened and Raziel quickly covered his face with a blanket, hugging Lady Vienna tightly to hide. Roxy blushed at the sight and smiled sheepishly. “Oh…uhm…please forgive me…I always forget you are married, my lady.” She chuckled nervously, looking at the ground looking embarrassed. Really, Roxy is too clumsy for this. With a red face, Lady Vienna quickly dismissed her personal maid and faced Duke Raziel who was still hiding. “She left now. Are you going to stay there the whole day?” She asked, wanting to tease him. This is such a rare sight and she’s going to savor this moment and keep this memory locked in her mind.
“Do you have anything you want in particular? Something I could give you…” Asked the Duke. “You could surprise me.” She dared, teasing him. “Alright, then I already planned it. Make sure to get dressed on your birthday-“ She blinked and stopped him, “Wait wait, I was just messing, Raziel.” She had her fill with surprises. What more could the Duke give her? wealth? They already share it. Fame? She’s already famous enough in the town and always talked about… “Then what do you want?” She paused, taking her time to really think. What do I really want now? She asked herself, biti
It was nearing dark, and they had a bit of dinner before initiating the first plan. Get to the palace and interrogate Prince Mathias. That damn bastard knows something they want. They didn’t even have to wait for the night as time is very much constricted. Fedel then set out to deal with the guards while Lady Vienna and Duke Raziel set out to go to the dungeons. It was quite easy to enter and when they were finally in, it was so dark, smelly, and all crowded. Duke Raziel grabbed a torch to light up the place and instantly saw him. Prince Mathias was sleeping by the biggest cell they had there. Lady Vienna gritted her teeth and br
Duke Raziel glanced at her, giving her a look that says “Be patient.” She just scoffed. “What? He’s taking too long to trust us. We don’t have time.” “You heard my wife, we don’t have time.” Duke Raziel said, now kneeling to match the prince’s gaze. Griffith still didn’t eat the sandwich the duke gave him so Duke Raziel continued. “Now that your twisted older brother is locked away, it’s time for you to get your revenge.” Prince Griffith blinked, “And why are you helping me?” “We are destroying the empire and making it good. You will take the throne and lead the empire.”
As for the tenth prince or the rightful crown prince, Duke Raziel made him stay still there.And it didn’t take long, much to Lady Vienna’s amusement. After three days, Fedel came into the guild with the proof of their victory.“The Corrupt nobles are removed. The emperor was killed.”It only took two sentences and Lady Vienna pumped her fists in the air, smiling in happiness. She turned to Duke Raziel who had a smile on his face, watching her.Lady Vienna pointed her fifst to him and Duke Raziel’s head tilted to the side, not sure what the lady wanted him to do.Lady Vienna scoffed at him and grabbed hi
“This is to balance the carriage, Vienna,” he reasoned out, which just makes her suspect more of him. “What’s the matter? You’re being too distant with me.” “Nothing.” He simply said and silence. Since he refuses to sit beside her, she decided to let it drop for now. “So where should we stop first, Raziel?” “To the east. I made Fedel gather information. We’ll pass by the small towns of Zaifari, Orcia, Sutton, Ballater, Newham and we’ll get to the land of Mages, Ilragon.” Ilragon… Vienna thought for a minute…that place has been a legend…she never heard people c
