I can't help but pace around. Even if I sat down, my legs would shake.
I had planned to sneak out at night to go to the Casino, via the rat route that Tuyul knew from following Albertus. Rescued Mbayul who was trapped inside the vault. But it would be a different story if Hayden came here!
I don't know for sure who will come here tonight. Is it Hayden, or is it Dylan? But given Hayden's odd pattern of behavior towards me lately, it's not impossible if he came, like that night.
'Does he not disgust at me after watching me snore and grit my teeth? He really is a prominent opponent!’
Tuyul enjoyed his offering on the table. When I asked him if he wasn't worried about Mbayul, he said he was worried by filling his stomach! What a true century-kinda friend.
“Milady, are you all right?” Merri served me a glass of strawberry juice.
I wonder what I should answer. I want to be honest but worried that Merri would be burdened and might
As I was going to swear, crap, the man's gaze caught my attention. "Dy...lan?""Yeah. Do you think I'm that prince? I thought you could tell us apart,” Dylan made a joke, but Fuschia staggered back instead.He immediately reaches out his hand to catch Fuschia. "Are you sick?" his worried face looks sexy. But it's not the right time to get mesmerized by his beauty!Fuschia punches his chest while pouting. "You! Why don't you say so last night that you will come again?!”“I already said it tho, that I would come again tonight,” Dylan carries Fuschia to the bed.Fuschia scratched her head awkwardly. "Ah, yes... you said it. But you didn't mention that you're coming as Hayden!”“My bad,” Dylan kissed Fuschia’s wrist. His golden eyes penetrated Fuschia's blue eyes. “Why do you look so anxious?”Fuschia pulled Dylan to sit by her side. Then take a deep breath. "Tonight, please let
“Take us to the main hall. And I need the chips for hundred gold.” My manner of answering the staff was quite natural.“Do you want me to prepare a drink, too?”“Later. Oh, actually, this is my first time coming to the Casino to play. Y'all know, my daddy forbade me from coming to this place, so I steal his money, hohoho. So, where should I start~?”He took a glance at my escort, which is Dylan, then took a look at mine and Merri's dress. The staff looked delighted. A rich first-timer is easy prey in a place like this. I can see through him. It was so obvious.I deliberately wore an expensive silk dress, and Merri also wore the dress I gave her. This way, they won't be suspicious of us. I looked like an aristocratic lady who was easily fooled."Of course, ma'am. I suggested you play this game. It's for beginners." The staff said while leading me to the circle of people playing dice.Laughter mingled with o
Tuyul is used to living a relaxed life after waking up from his 100 years of sleep. Every day he just floats on the Green Lake enjoying the sun or follows the gossipy palace maids, then returns to the empty fairy forest at night. Often he regretted having made the decision to sleep for a hundred years with Mbayul. At that time, he thought it was a wise decision for the prosperity of his race. But when he woke up, the other fairies had already left this land.And they are cowards who are afraid to go to other lands but call themselves wandering fairies.He did not expect that he would fly here and there to obey the orders of a human! Although he never sweated like a human, he seemed to understand how uncomfortable sweaty bodies were.What he didn't expect was how fun his days are after meeting Fuschia, until, Mbayul was trapped in a foreign object called a vault.'This is all because of his overly curious nature!' Tuyul grumbled.He had just arrived
The night of the autumn turn is often accompanied by strong winds. The sound of the wind howling was like the howling of a wolf, announcing its presence. As the night progresses, the sound of the wind gets louder as it makes the window rattle nonstop.Looks like Sarah has had enough.“This voice bothers me, Your Highness,” Sarah said while playing with Hayden's nipples.The two seem finished spending another hot night. Hayden pushed Sarah's naughty hand away. Then he got up and went to the window side."Sarah, if you're still at your residence, what do you usually do on a night like this?"Sarah also got up from the bed. She covered her naked body with the blanket, then walked over to Hayden, who had lit his cigar, gazing at the dark scene outside the window. Sarah gave Hayden a back hug. The blanket covering her body fell to the floor.“I will shiver in the cold in a house that has no wood to burn in the fireplace, Your Hi
'Please, tell me it's not true! Please! Please!’Dylan spurred his horse to run faster. Splitting the crowd of people passing by in the market of a small town near the capital. Passing through the muddy forest road from last night's rain as an alternative route. The horse was too exhausted from the heart-rending whining sound. But Dylan refused to stop.The closer he got to the Capital, the more he heard Fuschia's name mentioned."Hah! Finally, the sly Crown Princess was thrown away!”“Isn't that a light punishment for the crime she committed?! She should be put to death as she should be!”"Right! Our Crown Prince was so generous to just banish that wicked woman!”"I know, right. How dare she use public aid funds to splurge with her man? Thick face!-Zink-Dylan didn't hesitate to scrape his sword into the neck of the person who cursed Fuschia in such a way. That guy wouldn't die as Dylan had manag
As soon as Tuyul and Mbayul flew past me, my body was attacked by very powerful drowsiness. Everything felt heavy and weighed down on my mind, as, if I didn't close my eyes, then disaster would come. I don't know where this strange feeling came from. Everything seems to have been programmed in my brain. So I closed my eyes. Then I fell into darkness. I can't move my body even though I hear Merri and Dylan's shrill calls in my ears. At that moment, my body was wrapped in a hard warmth. 'Heh, Dylan must be hugging me.' I heard a faint whisper. He asked me to get up. Yet again, there was a foreign pressure that made me fall so far from my soul consciousness. No matter how much I struggle to get up and calm the worries of the two people, that was how big my disappointment was. "I smell blood from her." Dylan's voice was heavy and hoarse. I could feel his anxiety from the hug he gave me. “Don\t joke around, guard! What blood do you mean? My lady wasn't hur
Fuschia is like being hit by ice water. The cold was felt down to her aching bones. Her heart beats faster, failed to keep up with the rhythm of her rapid breathing. Who do you think the monster is referring to? Was it her original soul that shamelessly replaced Fuschia's, or was it the baby in her womb?Fuschia swallowed heavily. “What do you mean by a monster that… are inside… my body? What do you mean?"Fuschia took a step back. Her hands gripped her clothes. Her eyes showed anxiety, but she tried her best to look strong. Even though it was futile because the dragon recognized her current emotional turmoil."You don't have to be afraid. I just want to set things straight, starting with the baby you're carrying.""W-what did you say?"The dragon landed right in front of Fuschia. His claw dug deep in the ground. His nail was as big as her arms. Not only the wind was the result of his wings flapping, but the hot breath from his
She seemed fine a second ago. She still smiled beautifully as she jokes around with her maid, though I occasionally found her face looks nervous but, the glint in her eyes made me assume that everything was going well.Suddenly, her body collapsed. I didn't feel any energy from inside her. No matter how much I shook her, her eyes remained closed. I felt scared all over again. 'It shouldn't be like this! This is all my fault. I shouldn't have let her play outside the palace!'But how can I stop her when she looks at me with the expectant look and her spoiled voice which I want to hear badly. At that moment, I want to make her happy even with small things. I want her to lean on me about everything. And I was too confident that as long as she was with me, nothing would hurt her.Merri, her maid, had called a carriage. Her face was deathly pale as she watched her lady collapsed in my arms. I totally understand Merri's fear.The public carriage started to move
Tuyul is nowhere to be found.No matter how hard Mbayul and I searched for him, we could only conclude that Tuyul had left us. It's hard to accept that reality, especially when we don't say goodbye to each other.Mbayul and the other wandering fairies are still with us. They worked for me as a royal CCTV. They were the right creatures for the job because few could see them, even though many wizards had appeared now.Then, when Pasha was three years old, I learned Tuyul's last story."Mom, do you still remember Uncle Tuyul?"One night, Pasha asked about it.Pasha has excellent verbal skills at an early age, and he can already form complex sentences well, making it easier for us to converse. He also remembered some things about his childhood, when he was one year old.He even remembered the house in the middle of the forest that we once lived in in the Haddad Kingdom, and he also remembered our battle with the monsters. Therefore, it is not surprising that later those memories returned
It had not been six months since Dylan had served as the new king of Drachentia Kingdom, and he already held the title of 'Drachentia's golden wolf.' In that short time, he was feared by the kingdoms around Drachentia. Mainly because of his achievements in eradicating all the monsters and the remaining alchemist in Drachentia.Not only that, but he also paralyzed the illegal trade that occurred in Drachentia's sea. Without mercy. And it turns out that his actions have spread to shake the economic stability of other kingdoms in the vicinity, which have outsmarted Drachentia in terms of trade at sea.Then today was a big meeting with the diplomacy of the allied kingdoms, who were present for fear that Dylan would prey on their kingdom. As many people know that Drachentia is an archipelago kingdom, I think they are afraid that their kingdom will become one of Dylan's new islands.'But he's not that ruthless tho.' I smiled proudly at Dylan sitting beside me with a sinister expression.As
My second marriage ceremony.As Dylan requested, before the king's coronation ceremony, we had a wedding ceremony.Of course, a lot needs to be prepared for a royal family wedding, but since we want it to be done as soon as possible, the preparations are quite simple. After all, we want to be crowned husband and wife soon. So we don't think much about banquets and so on.I'm wearing a white wedding dress that looks as divine as the diamond sprinkles on top of it. When the sun's rays fall on me, my dress will twinkle.Why can there be such a beautiful wedding dress ready in such a short time? The answer is because of the enthusiasm of Laura and Mr. Andre, who had prepared the dress long ago, even when they didn't know when I could wear it. Likewise, with Dylan's wedding tuxedo.“Milady-oops, your majesty, you look so beautiful. You are like a goddess!”"Isn't she more like an angel because of her white dress?""Well, our lady can do both. Hohohoho~” Merri and the others had fun dressin
The day of Crown Prince Hayden's trial has finally arrived. The sky was a dull gray, and people flocked to the High Court to witness the historic trial in an uneasy mood. Their minds were in turmoil.Dylan and I sat on the witness stand. I could feel all eyes on us. I heard the whispers of the people behind us as they were the seats of the nobles."I'm here. Don't be nervous." Dylan whispered. Pulling up the nervousness I didn't realize ate up my consciousness.Even though I heard that Madame Luxor and Laura were trying to get a lot of news written in the newspapers in our favor, that doesn't mean everyone would necessarily believe all that. Especially the nobles who might be aiming for royal power through the royal family.More so when they heard their next king was a formerly enslaved person and a victim of alchemist experiments—not forgetting that I would also be their queen."Phew."The supreme judges entered the courtroom. I know one of the high judges who sit in the highest seat
After that great battle, I slept like the dead for two days. I pushed myself too much, so that's how it turned out.Meanwhile, Laura and Madame Luxor mobilized a lot of news media in the form of newspapers to write down everything that had happened overnight—starting from the reason for the rebellion led by the Luxor Family with the help of the Mountravven Family troops to my surprising appearance.Madame Luxor quickly prepared everything related to the news as she owned information guilds. So she has planted several reporters on the scene to capture everything that happened since the beginning of the battle.And as professional reporters they are, reporters get a lot of 'astonishing' pictures, which are then pasted in their newspaper headlines.From the picture of Hayden leading the monster army, then the picture of me using water magic, and the picture of the dragon in the sky that blessed Dylan and me. Of course, the last picture was the one that seemed the most implausible, except
I don't know what just happened. What I do know is that Dylan suddenly had Hayden's sword in his hand, and from that sword came a superpower(?) of a giant rolling circle that sliced through the monsters with a single numbness. Then because of that power, Dylan's energy seemed to be sucked in and made him fall limply into my arms.I panicked because I thought Dylan was about to die, but he was only limp for a moment. Because after that, we and some of the 'healthy' soldiers explored the temple.Of course, at the time, I also didn't know why people looked at us with amazement as they said that we received blessings from the dragon that stroked our heads with its feet.I don't even know anything about the dragon in the sky. But I think it might be Lord Drachen.Anyway, I met someone I almost forgot on the way to the temple."I'LL KILL YOU!" Sarah was about to jump at me with a vengeance, but her body was already being held back by the soldiers who followed us."It's all over, Sarah," I
"Where are you going, sir bastard?"Without hesitation, Merri engulfed Raymon's body with her smoldering blue flames.“AAAAAAHHHHH!” Raymon writhed in pain while screaming hysterically; then, his body was kicked by the grande monster.Merri smirked as she looked down at Raymon, who was flipping like a dying fish.Merri thought, 'Look, how easy it is to crush that bastard. If I were stronger since long ago, then Milady and my life wouldn't be this messed up.'"Merri?! What are you doing here?" Fuschia approached Merri, looking happy at the top of a tree.“Milady! I did it! I burn that bastard!”“Gre- great job, girl. But don't push yourself as you're still recovering, Merri."“Of course! Hahahaha, this is fun. What about you, milady? Uh? Your head is bleeding!” Merri almost jumped from her position to get closer to the flying Fuschia.That made Fuschia flustered. But then Fuschia calmed Merri down. “Calm down. I already drank that potion.”"Ah! The magic medicine, of course!”Fuschia s
Fuschia stared at the man in front of Madame Luxor warily. "Commander Hugh?"She recognized the man before as The Knight Commander of Drachentia, Hugh Connor of the Count Connor Family.Dylan frowned wryly then spoke in a low voice, "I should have made sure you died in my hands."The knight commander Hugh bowed his head as he faced Fuschia. He didn't raise his head as he spoke.“I… had time to come to the Crestine Hall. There I met Lady Laura and the survivors. Then I… learned the truth from her. So please, allow me to atone for my sin of stupidity, Your Highness.”Fuschia knew Hugh Connor as a knight loyal to the kingdom. His loyalty is shown by a devotion to the leader. He is known as the 'hunting dog' of the late king who has bitten many nobles or rebels who threaten the power of the late king.Like Hayden and Raymon, he was trained by the late king and the late general commander in swordsmanship. That was why the sword styles of the three were almost the same. So he has a good rel
“FUCHIA!”It was Dylan's voice. He emerged from behind the soldiers."Dylan!" Fuschia immediately raised her legs to shorten the distance between the two.The two of them ran at each other with their arms wide open.Amid a battle between monsters and humans that seemed like it would never end, Dylan and Fuschia hugged each other tightly.The whirlwind of their minds and the erratic beating of their heart were relieved by the familiar scent they breathed in on each other. The tight hug they shared at that time seemed to convey all the tiredness in their hearts and minds.Then, along with a brief kiss they shared, each of them killed the charging monster. Fuschia separates the head of the monster charging at Dylan with her ice saw, while Dylan rips the neck of the monster charging at Fuschia with his sword.Never before seen a romantic and horror moment happen in one frame. So many soldiers thought so and accidentally witnessed the scene.“What's wrong with your sword? Why are they so d
