Lady Vienna woke up normally. She had Valen sitting on the ground beside her, still asleep. She looked at the little hammock made for Duke Raziel who was nowhere in sight. Wiping her face from any snot or saliva from sleeping, she stood up and went outside the tent. 

Titus and Fedel were already up and surrounding a girl which they made sit on a huge rock. 

From the side, Raziel was the first one to notice her, “Vienna.”

“Oh..you’re finally up.” The girl said her face in a grin. Her face was all dirty but those same silver hair and blue eyes…Lady Vienna’s eyes widened realizing who it was. 

“It has been a long time….Lady Vienna...I mean Duchess Vienna…”

    The carriage was now passing over a rocky road so it shook a bit. Raziel waited for a few moments for the carriage to stabilize. “After the king died, and Prince Griffith was still adjusting to control the country…a witch suddenly took over.” He spoke up. Vienna motioned for him to go on, feeling somehow betrayed. “You didn’t tell me about this.” “It was not a big matter at the moment and I figured it would all turn back to normal…” He simply replied. Vienna looked at him “What? Not a big matter? Raziel, you just kept something like that from me.” “I know, I apologize, Vienna.”

    Vienna smiled at them, wanting nothing but to squish their adorable fatty cheeks. “Wait, you were the scary woman earlier!” Exclaimed the little child that ran from her earlier and they looked at him confused. Vienna grinned at them, “I am not a witch, children, but I can be scary if I want to.” Suddenly the kids gulped and looked at her frighteningly. Raziel gave her a look, “Vienna…” “Oops, I apologize, just want to mess a little hehe.” Duke Raziel then pointed at Fedel, “and your playmate Fedel is here.” At this, the children’s attention instantly turned to the green haired tall man behind the duke who gulped, as if bracing for the worst. “We missed you, Fedel!” They all swarmed up on Fedel’s knees and one jumped on his back for a piggy back ride. “Hello…kids.” He said nervously. “Yey! I have grown up now. Can you teach me how to use a sword now?” Said another little furball. Fedel shook his head, “Nope, still not big enough, kid.” “When I grow old, I want to

    “I know…but let’s just enjoy each other’s company for a while…” Her cheeks reddened saying this. “Are you just saying that because you’re afraid that our future children might steal my attention from you?” She almost choked at the word “Future children.” Geez, what did Raziel eat to be so brazen like this? She thought of a powerful retort to fight back but then Raziel changed the topic as he leaned on the door. “We’ll stay here for a while if you’d like.” She nodded, somehow feeling tired from riding the carriage all day. “You can sleep first, I need to deal with something.” Raziel said before leaving their room. She was left alone now. Too exhausted, Vienna slumped on the soft mattress and let her eyes rest for a while. She didn’t know that she fell aslept as she heard the floor creaking. Half-asleep, she put her feet on the floor and stood up, somehow wanting to drink some water in the kitchen. There was a glowing light from a far, and curious Vienna, she didn’t hes

    Muttering a curse under her breath, Vienna immediately ran to the stables to check her beloved pet. Valen was never weak during their whole trip. Why would he lose energy now? As she opened the door, the horses were strangely quiet. From afar, she could only see her huge pet laying on the ground with eyes closed, his mouth open and his fangs bare. “Valen!” She yelled to catch it’s attention but he wasn’t moving. She checked his heart if it was beating and it was confirmed. There wasn’t any heart beat, Valen, her pet, is dead. The whole of the stables were filled with Vienna’s yells as she grived for her lovely pet. Titus and Fedel helped her make the funeral. Duke Raziel returned, hearing her broken heart. Vienna watched as her pet was being buried by the hill. She couldn’t help but let the tears escape her. Avelina came to pat her back and she breathed deeply. Raziel came to her side to comfort her but she pushed him away. “Don’t get near me.” “I’ll investigate this,

    “Fedel?” Avelina’s head tilted, “But that man clearly hates me.” Vienna shook her head, “Tsk tsk, ignorance is a bliss….I mean you need to open your eyes.” Vienna then stood up, “Then I’ll have to leave you to get some rest. Goodnight.” “Goodnight, your grace.” Vienna then prepared for bed, her heart heavy thiking about her pet’s passing. It’s alright. Everything’s going to be alright. But it doesn’t help that Raziel is not by her side. Her heart sank on the bottom even more. ***** The next day, she was woken up with Duke Raziel hovering over her. She gasped, sitting upright instantly that made her bump her head with him. “Ow! Why were you even doing there on top of me?” She irratedly said. “I was waiting for you to wake up,” Raziel replied, “I apologize.” “Where were you even? You didn’t sleep here last night.” She said. “I just took on some matters.” He replied simply. “Now I’m awake, what’s the matter?” She asked, as he seemed to be in a hurry. He pointed at he

    “Want to know a very little secret?” She asked Vienna, and she continued, “You know, I was the one who killed your horrendous ugly pet.” The witch admitted. “The little girl Ella saw me doing that so she ran, and I made her forget her memory.” She said, “I also faked being sick and acted cutely so you knights could fall in love with me.” “But I didn’t.” Replied, Titus. “Yeah, that’s a pity, we could have been perfect together.” Raziel managed to cage her and the witch transformed into a tiger. Vienna got down and sliced on her thighs, but the witch was quick to go to her subordinate, biting on Titus’ shoulder. Raziel managed to cage her and the witch transformed into a tiger.

They then dried themselves off in their own quarters and after packing her stuff. a knock came on her door. She opened it and saw Fedel. She sighed, “Is it time?” He nodded, “The duke is already waiting by the door. We need to leave discreetly before the children notices.” She sighed, it would be hard to say goodbye. So it’s best to leave without them knowing… “You can get my things now. But let me do something first.” Fedel nodded, starting to carry her suitcase outside as she sat by the side table with pen and paper in her hands. She began to scribble some words. A parting letter for the children. Standing up, she then took a last look at the room. It was a short trip here but meeting the children was fun and she will cherish it forever.

Fedel grabbed it and gave it to Vienna as a joke, but it was all to their surprise when a huge smoke appeared from inside. A shadow of a figure appeared, and a tall and darkly handsome man showed up.

Vienna pouted, “I don’t know, Fedel gave it to me!” Raziel sighed, “It’s a genie, be careful.” Vienna raised her eyebrows, “A genie?” The man stretched his arms out and faced them with a carefree look, “Ah, finally! I was sleeping for a hundred years now!” Now that they could see him clearly, there’s no denying that he looks handsome with his purple hair and white eyes, and fair skin. “You have one w

    She heard her thoughts whispering to her. Those were the last words she ever expected to do, but having no choice, Lady Vienna slowly removed her hands that are only her lifeline now, and finally letting herself go, she watched as Ambrosia looked at what she did, not expecting her to do this. Lady Vienna closed her eyes and let the smoke conceal her. This is the least expected way of dying for her. Of all the times she was faced with danger, this is the most ridiculous way of how dying for her. She died because she gave up. She waited for impact, to fall to the ground and let her bones break but in an instant, a sharp claw grabbed her shirt, and a pair of flapping wings, with the sharp gust of wind. “Did you just let yourself die, Vienna? I won’t allow you to leave me easily.” Said a dark voice and her breath hitched, her heart drumming loudly just hearing him. Raziel. Lady Vienna couldn’t help but let the tears fall in her eyes. Duke Raziel dropped her off to safety and she

  • The Masked Villain Wants to Marry me   Hold on for me

    Just wait, Raziel. It’s my turn to make the effort. For the both of us. Well, it’s a bit unfair that I’m the only one who could remember everything we had, isn’t it? I have to make you know every bit and piece. And Lady Vienna waited no minute and started her plan. Lady Vienna took Duke Raziel to every place they went to. From taking him to the royal ball where they had their first official public appearance to the Rogue guild to their adventures with Avelina, and little mishaps with Crown Prince Matthias. It was a long process, but slowly but surely, Lady Vienna patiently waited for the perfect time, for the time he’ll wake up and remember what they had. Because this might be the only chance she’ll have. And if Alexis dares to mess up again in the timeline, he might even make the both of them forget that anything even happened. Lady Vienna took him to the picnic place, where Duke Raziel first surprised her with lunch. Duke Raziel stared at her, long and confused. “What?” She

    “In our next life, I’ll come and find you, Vienna.” Lady Vienna woke up with a gasp, trying to adjust to the light as the comfortable mattress was-wait a minute. There should not be any comfortable mattress in their carriage on their way to the Lumen empire? The last thing she could remember was leaving the orphanage after Titus was gotten by the witch…and then going on another journey…with someone… She tried to rack her mind for more information, feeling that she was with someone. Not sure who it was, but it seemed that she had somehow formed a bond with this person. What was his..name again? She looked around and noticed she was in her room, she gasped in shock. “Roxy!” She yelled, and Roxy, appeared with her usual messy brown hair and maid uniform, “Yes my lady!” “Where is…where is Titus?” She asked, and the door instantly opened. “You called for me, my lady?“ Titus asked, his bright silver hair and purple eyes gleaming through the sunlight. “You called for me, my lady?“

    Alexis laughed, caressing her cheeks, “Haha, this is the most exciting part for me. The revelation. Did he hide it from you? Or did he really lose his memory after I did the ritual?” “You seem to be so shocked, my dear. Let me explain everything to you clearly.” He then touched Vienna’s forehead and suddenly, a bright light came into her mind, along with memories playing. “Your soul was already dead long ago, Vienna. What keeps you awake was because Raziel sacrificed himself last time.” He started, and Vienna watched the scenery play in front of her. “Last century ago, Duke Raziel was a mighty killer who fell in love with a woman that became his weakness. It was you, Vienna. You were the one I cursed first for committing such a grave sin. But then he came to me, the most powerful dark mage to make a deal, to turn back time for you. This is out of the world’s nature, but out of pity, I decided to give him a try, to correct his mistakes, but along the way, the consequence was for hi
