We are the only heirs of the ancient kingdom, after all.”Lisaa was a fallen ancient empire that once flourished for thousands of years. Their blossoming knowledge and splendid invention spread to neighboring countries only to collapse from the invasion of nomadic tribes, proceeding to call themselves an empire using Lisaa’s inheritance thereafter.

He had lost her once, the girl, who, without notice, became his universe. It hit him. He thought he had forever to amend his mistakes, but the truth was, he did not… they had met during a time when everything was an intricate mess and had much to figure out. How could he have known how crucial every word said, every action made, or losing her would become something of a bitter regret?He had lost her once and he did not want to repeat the same mistakes. Ivan looked down at her everlasting beauty and hoped this moment would last… forever. Though he may never touch her closed heart once more, he’ll always be there. Whether it be late at night or early in the morning, she’ll always have him. He would spend the rest of his lifetime atoning for his sin.Ivan raised his fingers stiffly and touched strands of her hair. His heart palpitated.Meanwhile, she mu

Alicia often gagged, even vomiting out the nasty-flavored medicine. It did not matter that her organs despised the medicine, the Maid of Honor would bring in a new set and have her down the medicine fully despite Alicia’s distress.

Is it alright to visit her?”Ivan’s countenance hardeTed. “…..You don’t have to.”Alicia thought it rude of her that she skips on the formalities. It seemed rightfully proper to greet the Queen Mother.“What do you mean by that?” she said.“I mean… you don’t need to say hello to her. You must be tired. Let’s get some rest.”Alicia marveled in surprise. She kne

The Duchess’ quickly picked herself up and removed the laughter on her face, donning a thoughtful look thereafter. And then she bowed. “I disrespected you, My Queen. Please forgive me. I never meant to laugh at you,” she sighed and continued, “Listening to the Queen, I thought“His Majesty’s anxious concern is useless, after all.”Regardless, it doesn’t excuse my disrespectful action.”Alicia tilted her head as Ivan’s name suddenly popped out. “What does that mean?”“His Majesty’s been on edge and anxious since planning the national marriage.” The Duchess looked at Alicia’s surprised face. “My Queen, I have lived in the royal palace with my husband until passing away. From then on, I lived a quiet life in the countryside without intents of coming back to noble society. Truth be told, I was satisfied with the quiet life I lived.

Alicia had finished washing her face and changed into a new set of attire embedded with regalia.The Duchess’ smile reached the corner of her eyes. “My Queen, did you sleep well last night? I was late. That big oof would not let me go till the first cockcrow.”Alicia tilted her head. “You mean Basil?”“Yes,” the Duchess nodded, “I’ll tell you the details later.
