The sky showed that it was already about the time of dawn, meanwhile Alistair still couldn't sleep a wink. His heart was in turmoil.  He couldn't erase the foreign feeling that he felt when she hugged him. Her platinum blonde hair simmered under the moon, and her milky skin that was soft and delicate. Her beautiful eyes that glistened with tears provoked something inside of him that he didn't know he was capable of feeling.  He hated to see her tears. Anyone or anything that made her sad and cry, he wanted to get rid of it. Everything that hurt her, he wanted to stop all of it, whatever it is. 'But what if I can't stop it and you get hurt anyway? Then what am I gonna be to you?' This kind of emotion, he al

The morning of breakfast with the emperor, I decided to get up early. But it was a morning far from refreshing. Since receiving the invitation from him, I have been nervous and have not been able to sleep well.  I feel so tired. In the end I couldn't sleep properly for two consecutive nights. My head was heavy. I blinked blankly and sighed.  Damn this breakfast with the emperor! Just in time I heard a knocking sound. "Come in." Elle and May along with two other maids stepped into my room and said their greetings to me. "

The person standing in front of me looked so unreal, with hair that glistened like pure gold in the sunlight and golden eyes that reminded me of the sun. It made me wonder if someone painted him using the blood of Gods. If that was the case, would that man standing in front of me be the result? His face really is the work of art. Sharp features, clear skin, pink lips, and a jawline that could cut- "Are you okay, my lady?"  His voice snapped me back to reality.  I was so grateful that I was wearing a hood, or else, he'd see me blushing. It'd be super embarrassing.  "Ehm, yes. I'm fine." 

Three days passed since my last mental breakdown at the temple and I've been coming every day ever since. Visiting the temple to help with the restoration has become my new routine.  Let's say that spending time outside the stuffy castle, listening to Priestess Elena wise and kind words, meditating in the temple and helping the orphan childrens was my self-made therapy to cope with depression.  But of course, just when I thought 'what possibly could go wrong', destiny surprised me again with its own ways.  Surprise, surprise... I have been invited by Empress Sophia to have afternoon tea with her. Elle was quite worried, but she did a great jo

"My Lady, please be careful."  I ignored Osiris's warning. The moment May informed me that Alistair had come back from the monster subjugation, without thinking I abandoned the piano I was playing and ran as fast as I could to the entrance. There, I saw him. Alistair, still in his military uniform, got off of his tall white horse befitting a prince. His silver hair blown by the wind moved graciously, a perfectly sculpted face as beautiful as ever. It was like a scene from some ethereal illustration, or an amazing painting of some angel. My heart was beating wildly due to excitement. He's back.. My strongest shield is back. "Brother..." I called out.
