Today is the day of the founder's day banquet, an annual event organized by the Royal Family as the start of all banquets in high society, including the debutante ball which was attended by almost all nobles from various territories. And it was at this event that Fuschia wanted to show off her villainess-like attitude by dressing up out of the norm.
Merri was briefly shocked when Mr. Louise Phaiton sent the dress to the palace. She said that this dress succeeded in changing the image of Fuschia, who was like a rabbit, into a flirtatious she-wolf. On the other hand, Tilda was so worried that Fuschia would catch a cold if her body was too exposed.
“Wow, milady, the fabric of your dress is so soft. It's not even easily creases, there's no need to bother ironing it." Said Merri in awe as she keeps stroking Fuschia's dress.
"That's why I made this dress, Merri."
The dress that a noble lady usually wears gets wrinkled pretty quickly if not worn carefully.
I thought I'm not a person who is easily disappointed when something doesn't go according to my will as I tend to just quickly give up, but now I feel devastated. There was no response to the dress I wore during the founder's banquet on the first day. No one bought it. It didn't attract attention on the second day either. I thought some of the ladies liked my dress as much as they told me, but then again, this is a novelty, so needs some tweaking. I've already rented out a building for Mr. Louise Phaiton's boutique in a shopping center near the main road, which is quite a distance from his original boutique. I have also conceptualized the character of a newcomer designer, Louise Phaiton, as a mysterious designer who wearing a cloth mask on his face, so that only his eyes are visible."I'm sorry, Mr. Louise, it's been two days but no visitors have come yet. Though I'm sure some ladies really look interested in my dress." My tone at the end comes out a little sulky.But
Hayden spoke, staring directly at my eyes while I was staring at the steaming teacup near my mouth. He must have felt like his blood was pouring upside down after I rejected to spend a night with him for almost two months.“As much as I want to hold you, there's so much fear pouring in me, Your Highness. I- I love you so much but I keep having bad thoughts about it. After I lost our baby, everything seems hopeless.” I squeezed my tear and summoned the actress in me.My impassive face should look absolutely serious without any playfulness. I have to show this bastard that I'm still in mourning since the miscarriage, even though I'm actually getting better.It's just that I'm not ready to accept Hayden's request to spend the night together again, even though the elders have been pressing us. Because I don't know who's the man Hayden is going to throw at my bed, because Dylan is nowhere!‘Dylan, really, where are you?’ I gritted my te
This was the last night of the three-day promise that Fuschia had mentioned to Hayden. Tomorrow she had to decide when she would like to share a bed with him. She thought she could no longer push the matter back as many sides had pressured her, even Duchess Mountravven who had suddenly appeared at her salon while she was having fun with the ladies.“Mother,” Fuschia was more than surprised to find her mother walked casually inside her salon and received friendly greetings from the ladies.This woman was Fuschia's stepmother whose visits to Jasmine Palace she always refused. ‘Huh, of course, she’s a shameless woman.’ Fuschia returned her mother’s friendly smile.Duchess Mountravven was a beauty, but her beauty did not exceed that of Fuschia. She often vented her anger on Fuschia when she heard that some ladies compared her to Fuschia's biological mother. She has turquoise hair which makes her often mistaken for Fuschia's biolog
I can't pictures how Dylan's expression is right now as we were buried in the dark. Literally buried. But if I take it from the intonation of his voice, he sounded as if he was holding back rage. And it made me more nervous than when Hayden and Raymon nearly caught me earlier. 'Who the heck is he to dare to get mad at me? I should be the one who mads at him!' I could feel my breath getting hotter.Dylan got up."Where are you going?" I asked in fear that I would be left here alone like I would be buried alive."Stay here. Don't come out before I come back." He told me as he jumped high to reach the surface, then tore the vines that had covered the hole.I looked at him who was now moving agile. “How can I believe that word that you will come back? When you yourself ghosting me for months." I didn't want to sound sulky like a possessive lover, but the words just came out."...I'll be back." He said as he covered the hole where I was with vines
As soon as her eyes met Dylan's, she was startled into silent tears. Again, she asked the man a painful question like a bit*h who likes to bully her prey. She practically rubbing salt in his wounds while Dylan's face was the same as always. But somehow he seemed to know that Fuschia knows the answer to her own question. Fuschia was sure Dylan had enough strength to defeat Hayden, as well as Raymon. But he didn't seem to be doing it for some unknown reason. And that irritated her. "Why don't you fight back? You can't?" Fuschia had the urge to hit then hug this man, but her pride won't let her until Dylan answered all of her questions. Dylan chuckled. "I can" "But?" “But… I don't want to be on his bad side, or I won't be able to see you anymore.” It was the most honest answer he dared to reveal to Fuschia – who still doubted his existence, and Dylan knows that. "What do you mean? You said you were the only one who managed to change shape
Dylan hugged Fuschia's sweaty body. He embraces her as if he had the whole world in his hands, and that he might die of happiness. Dylan didn't know how one person could stir his heart madly. Dylan rubs his chin against Fuschia's smooth shoulder. This was an act he had never done to Fuschia, not even in his past life because he used to rush away before the potion's effect wore off. How happy he is now because he can cuddle with his beloved woman, with his own body, not Hayden's, after the two of them made love all night.He kissed Fuschia's neck. At that, Fuschia woke up then shyly played with his finger. He didn't think she'd notice so quickly, then he slowly turned Fuschia around to face him."Are you awake? I'm sorry," Dylan rub their forehead softly. Dylan was like a lion cub being spoiled by its mother, and it made Fuschia giggle."It's okay. I'm sorry for leaving you to sleep. Looks like I need to exercise more so I can keep up with your stamina, Dylan.&rd
It was an extraordinary night that rarely appeared in her daily life, but Dylan ruined it by sulking. Fuschia wrapped herself in a blanket, then walked towards the terrace where Dylan had left.'Really? He left me like this?! What an annoying man! What did he want?’ After grumbling and mumbling, while cursing both Hayden and Dylan, Fuschia washed her sweaty body. She bathed in warm water which she heated herself with her magic without having to call a maid.And that's how the rest of the night she spent lying in bed cursing whoever crossed her mind. 'How can he sulk because I didn't comply with his wish to run away right away? We can have a good discussion about our plans and strategies, and not only push his will! He doesn't even know anything!'Fuschia feels wronged. She wasn't the type of person to be generous enough to sacrifice herself for others, but indeed she can't running away anytime soon. If she ran away anytime soon, and in a condition where Ha
Ruana, The Queen, blinked. Then like a gaping fish, she slowly parted her lips and then closed them again. Speechless, her eyes twitched in irritation. While beside her, The King seems to enjoy the sight. He smiles broadly at the loving affection Hayden and Fuschia showed.Droplets of crimson red dripped from the edges of the crystal glass. Hayden slowly placed his own glass down, and a triumphant smile spreads on his lips. His eyes directed gently at Fuschia's, and their meaning was clear to her: Stupid.Fuschia almost spit out when she met Hayden's deceitful gaze, by how ridiculous the situation was.It was a tough day for Fuschia.The luncheon ended well. But then Hayden asks to meet her separately to confirm her decision. Hayden questioned her this and that, and it was exhausting. Luckily Hayden didn't act intimated with her because there weren't many eyes around them that required Hayden to act sweet to Fuschia.“Thank you, my Fuschia. I
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
