100: Is there still hope?

The news about the execution of the first prince was circling around the empire. The empress had fallen depressed and decided to end her life. Viishaun smiled with bitterness as he put a flower on the grave of both the deceased empress and first prince. Viishaun finds no happiness with all the villains gone. He was starting to lose interest in everything and realized if the beneficiary of all his effort to be the most powerful was gone, what would be the sense of having immense wealth, fame, and even the throne itself."It's such a waste. These people had everything within their reach, but they decided to ruin themselves," says the emperor. He was also sad about the passing of his wife. Despite not loving the empress with all his heart, it was undeniable that the lady had a soft spot in his heart. "Shaun...""Don't call me by that name," Viishaun replied as he looked away. The pain of remembering his wife’s sweet voice as she calls her by that name opens a wound in his heart."Viish

101: The killing machine of Allandis.

"Lady Scheriziel, I have an important thing I want to tell. Where are you?" A lady holding costume had been looking for her."I'm here! Could you fix my hair? The performance is about to start.""My bad. I was too occupied with the news from the central empire."Hmmm? What about it?" Scheriziel replied. "The first prince was executed by the infamous second prince. Then the empress committed suicide," the assistant replied. "You should not run your mouth without proof. We're talking about the royal family.""That was what I heard when I was buying alternative material on the market."Scheriziel was interrupted by another lady who had news written all over her face. The lady approached them and uttered, "You won't believe this. I heard the king of the western border had taken over several provinces. I heard your manor was not spared by the cold-blooded king of the western region. Have you exchanged letters with your father?"Scheriziel shook her head and thought that must be the reaso

102: The intruder

Viishaun was preparing for his visit to Port Jesquiza for an inspection. They knew finding smuggler organizations using the port for their illegal business was one of the least priorities. It's more like an excuse to deny his royal highness blind dates for him. "I wonder if his excellency will get married someday. I'm quite concerned that the royal bloodline would end with him," says the secretary to the Marquise-General on their short break."It would be fun to watch little versions of him. He's good-looking, so he should spread his good genes, you know," the secretary added as he laughed between his words."How about you? Why don't you get married? You have passed the age of marrying," the marquise-general asked."It's not like I can't marry anytime soon. I just can't leave that guy in such a state. He does not look stable enough. He vanishes randomly and slaughters his enemy with one swoop. Sounds wild, right? It's all because he's still not over with his search for the lady. Why

103: At last, my queen.

"Uhm... may I have an audience with Duke Azrael?" Scheriziel asked as she stood in front of the gatekeepers."My apologies, my lady, but the master of this mansion had fled.""I see. That rumor wasn't just a talk," the lady murmured and heaved a deep breath. Then she added, "Please allow me to enter the premises. I need to get my things there. I used to work with the previous master of this manor."The two gatekeepers discussed things among themselves, but they feared his excellency's wrath. The king was fed up with unannounced visitors because there were always ladies soothing after him. "Please leave at once before his excellency returns. We don't know your real intention, but his excellency is not in the mood to see ladies hovering around him."Scheriziel stamped her feet and tried to explain she wasn't after the new master of the manor. "I have an important thing to do there, so please allow me to enter. I'll leave shortly after.""We really can't do much, missy." Scheriziel tur

104: A sudden engagement

He had convinced his father not to go to war anymore and focused on the economy. The emperor who lost the will to carry the weight of the empire on his shoulder has finally seen the light of retiring soon. Especially when his son asked for his blessings to get married."You're not bluffing, were you?" The emperor squinted his eyes and measured the sincerity of Viishaun's statement."What would I benefit from lying?""I heard you were wreaking havoc for the past months, no wonder why you had not been active in slaying rats. You seemed occupied with other matters now. So, where is the lady who melted your ice heart?""She's at my mansion. I'll bring her some other time.""It's only natural to bring the other party when asking for marriage blessings. Could it be you forced this lady?"Viishaun cleared his throat and replied, "She wanted to be prepared before meeting you.""Alright. It's not always a sight to see you acting desperate. I shall give you my blessings, but you must accept my

105: Our home

The carriage is filled with dead air as the queen refuses to talk and simply stares at the floor, counting all the beads on the carpeted floor. Meanwhile, Viishaun had been staring at the lady seated anxiously in front of him. He placed his hand on his jaw while reading the situation. 'I'm sure it's her. My heart tells me that Aileen's soul was in there. My heart beats hard as soon as I looked at her. However, there could be a chance that they switched back to their original body. What if the reason why she can't remember me was because it wasn't my beloved who was inside that delicate body?' says his mind. But he shook his head and convinced himself, there is no mistake... 'The way she talks to me and the way she moves. It's exactly how she behaved back then.' The lady slightly lifted her gaze and found his excellency had a serious look on his face. His eyebrows were on strike, and he looked displeased. Viishaun noticed how the lady flinched when their eyes met. He thought it was

106: Weird

Looking at the castle, Scheriziel still cannot get over how extravagant and huge it is. 'Instead of complaining, why don't you appreciate his kindness? Look around you. Didn't he tell you he redesigned the palace and garden to suit your taste?' says her mind.She shook her head to remove such a thought. Then, excused herself to head straight to the room his excellency prepared for her."Order everyone as you please. They are all prepared to serve you. Go and rest," says Viishaun as he escorted her.She heaved a heavy breath as she threw herself into the soft bed."He does not look like he's lying. What if he truly speaks of truth?' She stared at the ceiling. Later on, she closed her eyes and added, "Maybe if I think about it more...""No. This isn't working. No matter how hard I search for that memory, I don't have the slightest recollection of meeting him once. I once heard that there are things such as enchantment and sorceress, but they were all wiped up. To sum it up, magic does

107: Recall the memories

Athena was busy cleaning an empty master's bedroom. She can't help but notice the extravagant interior of the room. "Looks like it will be of use sooner," she mumbled.Suddenly Athena recalled how she became the headmaster of maids when she had not been working for decades at the king's mansion. She came from an illegal auction. Then the king raid it, and that's how a lowly slave like her turned into a proper maid.When he woke up from warfare, he renovated rooms and the entire palace. And, thinking back then on how she misread his excellency's intention a year ago when he summoned her to his office alone.'I was stupid for fluttering at the sight of his excellency, back then; only to hear him promote me to the highest position. For a split second, I thought he had taken an interest in me. Who wouldn't flutter? He is a sought-after bachelor of the empire after all,' says a voice inside her head.'Come to think of it. His excellency has a short temper and cruel side, but they're simply

108: Postpone the marriage.

Athena was fixing her ladyship's long hair and adorned it with expensive hairpins. The ladies felt like they had been together for a long time. The touch of the maid's hand is not new to Scheriziel. "Have we met before?" Scheriziel asked. "I can't be certain, madam. I had never left the palace yet, so I guess we had not met until his excellency brought you here." "R-Right." Scheriziel sighed as she stared at her reflection in the mirror and thought her mind was confused because of Viishaun's claims. "I bet his excellency is waiting for you. Shall we proceed to the glass garden, madam?" "Glass garden? Did his excellency request to dine in the garden?" Scheriziel asked. "Yes, madam. He mentioned you like having meals at a peaceful place full of flowers and has an overview of clouds." Scheriziel was silent. She was bewildered because the King seemed to know a lot about her. Viishaun stood up and smiled at Scheriziel as he saw them approaching, and he said, "My queen, you're awake.

109: The jealous fiancé

"Since we're done. Do you have a place you want to visit or food you desire?" Viishaun asked, trying to win Scheriziel's affection. "How would I know? I haven't been in your domain for a long time," Scheriziel replied. "Didn't you tell me you know a lot about me? Perhaps, you might know places that hook my attention?" she added, focusing on the path to where the carriage was parked.Viishaun's face lit up, and he smiled at her. Then, he responded, "I know a perfect place. Shall we?"Scheriziel smiled and nodded her head. While on the carriage, she asked his excellency, "You mentioned meeting my auntie. What did you tell her? Also, when can I meet her?""I can't quite remember it— I think I told her we have known each other. Anyway, if my calculation is precise, they'll be escorted to the palace tomorrow," he replied."Thank you," Scheriziel replied while watching the trees as the carriage passed by the grove part of the kingdom.Few words coming from her ladyship send butterflies to
