The first person to appear from behind the door was Laura. She wore a navy blue dress with beautiful lace that adorned the shoulders. Her hair was in a high bun, but not as high as Her Majesty's bun. It was a hairstyle that Laura rarely displayed as she preferred to keep her hair low.
'Ah... I remember this scene.'
The sound of her footsteps echoed throughout the room as that was the only sound that enlivened the atmosphere. It seemed like everyone was breathing slowly to the rhythm of Laura's footsteps. But before she arrived at the witness stand that had been provided, someone followed her steps.
clack. clack. The tapping of her heels didn't match Laura's loud footsteps as she emerged from behind the door. But apart from the clapping of shoes, there were many other things that seemed distinctly different from Laura's appearance. This woman appeared under pressure as if she wanted to outperform everyone in the room, perhaps even to Her Majesty The Queen.
Dylan flew out of the great hall with mixed feelings. He told Fuschia that he would be with her throughout the trial, but he really just stood there. Even when Fuschia was being treated so harshly by those people, he couldn't help but restrain himself.It was noon when Fuschia entered the court hall, but now the sun had gone home. No matter how much he wanted to follow where they took Fuschia, Dylan had to fulfill his promise to Fuschia.'I'm sure Merri and my son will be fine, or I, once again don't keep my promise to Fuschia.'Dylan flew high through the branches that danced in the direction of the night wind. He moved as fast as he could to Fuschia's room before he could change his path back to follow Fuschia.As he had often done, Dylan entered through a small gap in the bedroom wall. He perched on the chandelier in Fuschia's room. This is the best position to oversee the entire area of Fuschia's room.But he didn't catch the slightest human
I don't know how, but Dylan's eyes seemed to glow a little in this darkness. From that speck of light then my eyes began to catch the outline of his body. I can't get out of his arms, or the disturbing thoughts come again.He still caresses my head with his soft touch. He also whispered word for word that slowly kicked away the bad thoughts that almost enveloped my head. I began to follow the rhythm of his calming breath.“That...is not true. I'm sure your plan will work because no matter what happens, I will definitely get you out of this life that you want to throw away."Yeah, Dylan always told me that. But I was so confident in my plans that I often put aside what was on Dylan's mind. I was too arrogant to think that I was the only one capable of such sharp maneuvers to get out of Hayden's grasp."Are you sure?"Dylan pulled me closer into his arms. Blow soft air over my head. He seemed to have seen me do the same to Pasha when he was cry
From the first time Hayden had introduced him to his slaves, Raymon had been in charge of watching over the slave. Whether when he had to be released from the dungeon to be sent to exterminate monsters, or when he had to confirm that the slave returned to the palace thanks to Hayden's magical green ring, Raymon was the one who always gave the final report on the slave's whereabouts.Although Hayden stationed two guards at the entrance of the dungeon, only Raymon was allowed to explore the prison inside and meet the slave in person. It could be said that after Hayden, the people he met the most were the slave, not his family.“One may call it an obsession with the way he constantly asked about the slave.” Raymon let out a weary sigh.His body felt exhausted as he had just arrived at the palace after leading the subjugation army in place of Hayden, who was 'laying sick' due to stress. And instead of being given a break, Hayden told him to look at the c
Almost a week on, Mr. Andre couldn't touch his design book at all. He has not received orders from customers who have come to his boutique for a month. His mind was in a mess with a lot of things bothering him. So how can he draw a beautiful dress when his brain doesn't tell his hands to move?His wife, who is heavily pregnant, often persuades him to accompany her for walks, rather than staying at home doing nothing. But that didn't calm him down either. The only thing that could calm his heart was to meet the Crown Princess, Fuschia.But from the latest news he heard, Fuschia had been removed from her position as the Crown Princess and had also been locked up in a dungeon inside the palace. The news that discouraged him even more, was that the court had sentenced Fuschia to death.Several times he visited the Lanchaster residence to meet Laura who is said to have testified against the Crown Princess at trial. He wanted to ask why Laura did that to the Crown Pri
Even when I went back in time, I never knew what had happened to the Mountravven family after I left. Either they were exiled like me, or maybe the royal family annihilated my entire family, or their position was revoked, I don't know. But what is clear, The Duke will not stay silent if his power is usurped by those he deems lowly.As I have often said, my father was a very arrogant person. It is not impossible if he even revolts against the royal family with the soldiers he has gathered for years, to seize the power of the royal family. This tendency of him makes him have many enemies from the pro party of the royal family, but also gather many allies with similar thoughts.When I asked Dylan, he also didn't know the news regarding my family in the past life because it wasn't on his to-do list. As you may know, the thing Dylan did at that time was to kill Hayden. But still failed to kill the man, then thrown back in time like me.It is difficult to predict what
From the pieces of information that Dylan gave when he visited here, the residents of the capital have great sympathy for Hayden. They hailed Hayden, the Crown Prince, as a responsible and generous man. Even though he was hit by a disaster in the form of his wife's betrayal, he still carried out his duties as a knight leader who protected the land of Drachentia from monsters.The support from the nobility is no less overwhelming. Many reached out to help overthrow the position of Duke Mountravven who was considered to overshadow the complete power of the royal family.Most importantly, the current vacancy of the position of the Crown Princess made the noble families blind to opportunities. Especially for families who have daughters of marriageable age. Or even if they don't have a direct descendant daughter, they adopt the daughter of a close relative to be proposed as the new Crown Princess candidate.I heard from Dylan that Her Majesty the Queen is busy holdin
I glared at Raymon who at that time was just standing behind Hayden carrying a big torch. I didn't catch any expression of sympathy on his face, and it was annoying! Then I charge at him with a powerful running to create a deafening sound of metal bars clashing.“Some like like him could kill me in a place like that! And monsters too! Argh! How could you throw me in that place?!”"I'll protect you there. I will visit you often, also send you all the things you want be it a dress, jewelry, dessert, or anything else. So please, be calm and do nothing until I can persuade them.”I calmed down again. "...Are you sure?""Yeah."“Are you still going to visit me at that place? You know I'd go crazy if I didn't see you, Your Highness. I love you so much." I plead."Yeah, I know... I know. I love you too.""Then what should I do now?""You just wait patiently for the news in this place."'Huh? So you inten
"Alright milady, what can I help you with?"“First, make a fireball. Then... shape them as your proud firefly troop.”I couldn't be more proud of Merri whose magical abilities are increasing. Now, she can modify her fire magic in various forms, even without the help of Tuyul and Mbayul.Oh, speaking of Tuyul and Mbayul, we haven't communicated with each other even once since Pasha's birth. If you do the math, it's been almost six months, and we still haven't heard from them.I was quite worried about how they were doing that Merri and I visited the forest near the temple. But since neither of us ever visited the fairy forest that the two fairies mentioned before, we don't know where the exact place is.But as they often tell me: no news is good news, so I just have to patiently wait for our reunion. They said they liked long sleeps, sort of hibernating like bears, so they said not to worry about it. Come to think of it, they too had sle
