On the day when Josephine was pulled from the duchy castle, she was settled on the horse. The man who had kidnapped her or perhaps saved her had worn a hood and fabric that covered half of his lower face. She couldn’t tell who it was by the eyes and the lack of light from the moon. She wanted to know who it is but thought it was better to stay quiet as she watched the speed that their horse had galloped at. If she were to fall now, she doubted her wound would be pretty for her to endure. As she was being brought away, although panic, Josie still couldn’t remove her thoughts from Shawn. After her confrontation she found out that Shawn had never been the person he had showed himself as. He disliked Dominic, or perhaps it was not a mere dislike but a deep hatred. He wanted Dominic to die even if it means by killing Rose, her sister. Josie ground her teeth, feeling betrayed. One side of her heart was fuming, wanting to get more explanation and a way to express her anger; but her other s

Rose was also certain that the mirror was no different than any other mirrors in the mansion. Then why was she able to see Josie when she wanted to see him? Simply asking the mirror sounded too simple to be called as magic. But then she didn't feel like she had made a ritual that might activate the magic. She had never studied magic spell either, making the possibility of her saying a magic spell by accident seem to be rather impossible as well. "I only whispered that I wanted to meet her as a joke. I did not expect to see Josie at all,” Rose replied to Starvos’s earlier question, finding the man to hum. “When I thought that I have power, I wondered what kind of power I would have. The vampires didn’t chase after me and if I am a sorcerer as he said, it would make sense why vampires won’t chase after me.” “Why is that?” Starvos questioned and found Rose slowly flipping the pages of the book, stopping at a particular page. As he went closer to read, his eyes squinted to catch the s

Iris stormed out to her room once the tea party had ended. Her heels clicked sharply to the floor and once she had slammed the door behind her, the twisted expression she had finally came to settle. She sat down on the vanity table, taking off her necklace and slamming the piece to the desk.This was more of a trouble than she thought it would be.While she had expected the human girl would be a trouble, she doubted that a human would be brave enough to go against her, especially the human from Essex from which the kingdom was only filled with humans.Truthfully, all that Iris wanted was not Dominic. While the young man had turned out to be more of a catch than she first guessed, he was simply a good addition to her plan. His handsome face suited her palate, fueling her more with her first goal which was to become the granddaughter of Lady Catherine.While Iris came from a noble family, her parents had always taught her to aim higher, which she did. She wanted to outshine all the othe

Rose noticed the sadness coming from Dominic’s face. He was someone who deep down long for the warmth of family. Although he had never showed it by his face, truthfully he wanted to feel the life of a normal person like any others. The family he had back in Essex had never shown him such a love and with Rose it convinced him to the future possibility of having a family like all others. When he found out he had a family in Agios, he didn’t expect much of a welcome but now that he felt their love, he couldn’t help but feel the want of staying in Agios instead of Essex.Rose noticed this all from his handsome face without needing to ask. After placing her hands on her laps, she turned her body to the position where she didn’t have to look for him from the mirror. “Dominic, you will stay here even after you have finished your revenge?” She showed her beloved man a gentle smile. “I know you are worried but when this is all done, we could spend the rest of our time in Agios.”Dominic stil

Rose didn’t know when it happened but when she had realized it, she had four type of foods on both her hands. Slowly, she nibbled on the hot butter corn. Her eyes widened at the delicacy of butter that melt in her tongue as well as the sweetness of corns that spread across her tongue. She immediately turned at the man beside her who had been admiring her beauty and her face that was always brimming with happiness.“Dominic try this!” She gently placed the corn before her lips. Dominic noticed her pink lips that looked glossy and smiled. Truthfully, he rather nibble her lips than the corn but despite that, he comply to his sweet girl’s request. Biting his teeth down the corn, he hummed in satisfaction, “That taste good.”“Right?” Rose ate the corn again, smiling happily. “The skewered meat from earlier also tasted good but this one is sweet.”“Sweet after savory food is always the best combination,” Dominic added, and she nodded her head in full agreement. “By the way,” Rose looked a
