Lady Vienna woke up at midnight with the sound of her door opening. She didn't know she fell asleep waiting for the duke. 

When her door opened, there was Huxley and a familiar man from the Rouge guild. 

Between them, they were supporting Duke Raziel passed out with blood all over his body. 

Lady Vienna gasped and was frozen first before recovering

 “What happened to him?” She asked.

“We attacked one of the enemies when he just bled out suddenly. He demanded to see you.” Huxley replied as they settled him on the sofa in her room. 

Lady Vienna nodded at that, digesting the information calmly and trying not to panic. “You may now leave. I’ll take care of him.” 

Huxley hesitantly opened her mouth to say something more but just nodded

    Lady Vienna felt the cold bed beside her. She instantly opened her eyes and saw it was empty. Duke Raziel was gone. “Roxy, where’s the Duke?” She asked her maid. “He’s off to the guild,” Roxy replied. She cursed under her breath, feeling disappointed and angry at Raziel. They just shared a special moment. Well, nothing really happened last night, they just slept beside each other, which should be normal for couples…. But it feels it wasn’t special for the duke. To think he was just injured last night… A whole day passed and still, Duke Raziel was still nowhere. Lady Vienna kept herself busy outside the gardens, practicing her sword skills with Roxy and Huxley. “My lady, can we take a rest first? I’m dying here!” Exclaimed

    Lady Vienna had gone to the royal palace the next day as Princess Avelina invited her for an afternoon tea. Lady Vienna opened her fan and smiled at the delicate princess, “You were not sending me letters so I was worried your highness.” Princess Avelina laughed cheerily, “Oh, I’m doing fine. Prince Mathias and I are doing lovely preparing for our wedding.” Lady Vienna nodded, “That’s great. I am happy for you Princess Avelina. You’re going to be the most beautiful bride in the kingdom.” She said honestly. Which is true, Lady Vienna really loves how lovely Princess Avelina is. At first, she admits that she felt a bit awkward and wanted to push her away since she's the heroine of this story but she realized she's not her competition. It's fate that is her enemy. I mean, it’s not Pri

    The princess then chuckled, “I don’t want to tell you the reason. But it’s a good thing you are smart, Lady Vienna. I honestly don’t want to do it…but the maids are watching,” she said. Lady Vienna’s head thought of one reason for it and bravely asked, “Was it the crown prince?” The princess nodded, “If you don’t end up dead right now, I’ll be expected to get tortured later, but I don’t have regrets. Run, Lady Vienna. He’ll be coming for you soon.” She looked at the princess pitily, “But what about you? I’ll help you leave-“

    Huxley breathed deeply in anger, glaring at the prince. Lady Vienna smirked at the prince, not backing down. Two can play the game, Prince Mathias. “I heard you got kidnapped last time, Vienna.” He asked. Really, does he want me to get killed that much? Lady Vienna scoffed. “Duchess Donovan.” She said. “What?” The crown prince asked. “Call me Duchess Donovan. My husband called me Vienna so as respect, I expect you to call me formally, Prince Mathias.” Prince Mathias’s eyes sparkled in interest at that, “You are really sweet with your husband.” She nodded, “Yes. And about my kidnapping incident, yes it was true. But you are late on the news, Prince Mathias.”

    “Help.” Lady Vienna received the letter after a few days had passed. The letter didn’t have any seal or name, but she’s sure as hell it's from the princess. She hastened in her pace and quickly readied herself. “Roxy, I’ll go to the palace.” She said to her personal maid and Roxy shook her head. “But Huxley said-“ “The princess is in danger. I need to save her.” She firmly said and grabbed her sword. She jumped out of her window and waved goodbye to her maid. She then grabbed her dress and tried to run when a pair of swords came blocking her path. She sighed and looked up to see two tall men looming over her. With the mask and the mark on their faces, it’s clear that they are one of the Rouge guild men. “Forgive me but where are you going, Duc

    She scoffed, “Yes, you did. But so what? If you truly betrayed me, then I would have been dead already.” She countered. “I thought you were a bitch for stealing my crown prince in the past and I had hated you for being so pretty not doing anything but now seeing you weak, I hated you more for not fighting for yourself.” She admitted. And you have been favored by the book with a happy ending…she wanted to say that but figured she didn’t have to. Princess Avelina was just silent and smiled at her gently, “I could never compare to you, Lady Vienna. That is why you are always the talk of the town. You have always outshined me.” Lady Vienna nodded, “Yes, you will never compare to me, I've always been amazing.” She said and sighed, “If only we would have been born in a different world, we would have been great friends.” She t

    Tears fell on her eyes like a waterfall and all she could feel was her heart shattering in a million pieces. She couldn’t turn back time now. To think they only had a few moments together. She didn’t even have the chance to see his face. All her memories with him suddenly started to flash in her mind. She was still in denial, desperate for him. “No, no, no. Stay with me, Raziel. You don’t have the right to be dead like that. I didn’t give you permission to die!” She yelled. The prince watched them and laughed. “What a tragedy.” Just then, Princess Avelina jumped from Ren’s arms and walked to Duke Raziel. Lady Vienna sobbed and looked at Princess Avelina in confusion. “Princess-“ “I still can save him.” And just

    And with that, Duke Raziel let him go. He turned to Lady Vienna and motioned for her to follow. Lady Vienna raised her eyebrows at him. “You’re really back, after a long time of leaving me alone without informing me.” She said, slight irritation lingering in her tone. “How are you?” He ignored her sarcasm and instead said, “Tell me everything that happened while I was gone in detail.” Lady Vienna shrugged, “But you said you heard everything he told me.” Duke Raziel stopped walking and faced her, “I want to hear your thoughts.” She smirked at that, “Haven’t you missed me?” “I did. So much. But let’s talk about that later. I am filled with so much anger now that I don’t think I will have enough rational in me to control myself from burning this palace.”&nbs

    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

    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

    The next day, they continued and got closer to the Lumen Empire. The man was still there to guide the way to them. Fedel was keen on threatening the old man the moment he decided to fool them. Stopping by the cave to rest for the night, they somehow saw a bottle placed inside. 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. Duke Raziel unsheathed his sword and pulled Vienna to the side, “What did you open?” He asked impatiently. 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

    The children continually asked for her and Mr. Martini came to rush them back to their bedrooms. 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. To think she was not much of a children's lover at first. She walked towards the back door where their carriage and Raziel’s horse Tiberius wer

    “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.

    “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

    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,
