The Emperor's Ball (Part 1)
“It is my first time to attend a glamorous ball.”
I nodded. I never imagined I would witness the glamour of this lavishing event.Multiple chandeliers on both sides lit the arched hall. They placed the 4 seater purple tables. The unoccupied space in the middle became the stage for the greatest dancers as they meandered along with the tune of soft music played by the Imperial orchestra.Everyone glimmered in their finest outfits when in reality they were walking null values.“Oh, what a splendid night!”Speaking of a null value, she approached us.Her reddish hair resembled a twisted pair of cable I crimped in my networking class, her nose was like an angle bracket when viewed sideways, and the nauseating floral scent of perfume matched with her stenchy personality.Cora Atkinson, Marquess Atkinson’s daughter. The die-hard president of Reyner and Frederick’sRelated chapters

A predator who waited for the time to lure his prey out. Yes, that’s me. I glued my eyes to the 3 people.In this jungle, there were multiple predators which made the hunt challenging.For example, Lady Atkinson. Right now, could not wait to rip out the gentlemen’s flesh. Poor Reyner, look at how droopy his eyes were. He wiped his face with his white handkerchief every minute. Her boldness to link her arms to the crown prince was on another level.Another thing to mention was these low-grade frog princes who assume they would get my best friend’s hands by inviting her to dance made this an impossible task.P.S. some frog princes dared to make a move on me too!I asked Ella to put her hand on her forehead and mumbled gibberish words to me as rejection signal to these frogs. Our Oscar worthy acting came in handy once more.What was the best solution, so the preys would move to my advantage?

What should I do now? My friend fled like Cinderella when the clock strike at midnight. Should I end my conversation with the Duchess to run towards Ella? No, it would be disrespectful towards someone you just met.Besides, she is the type of girl who would shut herself in these kinds of situations.Everyone buzzed their opinion when the Duke and Duchess Le Merck bid farewell.One thing was for sure: after I clear up the misunderstanding with his mother, we would have a good chat.The Duchess even asked me what happened, knowing she was my best friend.“By the way, I am glad we finally met. You could call me Mom from now on.”The legs of my chair screeched because I faltered upon hearing her loud statement.“I do not want people to misunderstand everything.”She slammed her fan on the table. Her cherry eyes make little sense when I could sense a tigress aur
Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke! Cheer Up A Friend
A week had passed since I became a home buddy. I have been a home buddy all my life — no reasons to go out since all eyes were on me. People have a short attention span; I waited for them to erase my existence in their minds.Game Progress: 20%Unlocked Hidden Gems: 1 out of 5Hidden Quests: 0 out of 3Relationship Meter:Duke Frederick Wren Ivrea : 30%During the past few weeks, there was no time that I haven’t checked if I received a notification about new tasks. A part of my brain wanted to make a move, but the other told me not to take any step. I would make everything worse if I did.I only tried to change my action a little for the sake of achieving my plans yet, I received attention, the character’s actions diverted from the original storyline, and what’s worst was one of my targets suffered.There was a new place in this mansion, I disc
Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke! Enrom Theocracy
“Alright, after you finish eating breakfast, we’ll head to the Enrom Theocracy right away.”Enrom Theocracy, a city-state in the Eastern part of the Daria Empire and the headquarters of the church. I would compare it to Vatican city in my world because it is located inside the Daria Empire yet, the one who governs it is the head priest.They produce charms, protections, and many more. This place also became home to Irteus — our Empire’s Great God and founder.5 hours of travel made me dizzy.Though I hate carriages, we had to travel since they have this inconvenient protocol. The person who will give the charm must whisper his/ her wish or prayer to the person who will receive it. He/She must also be the one who will hand it to the intended receiver. If not, you nullified the protection spell cast by the priests.“Do you also see the swirls?”I nodded my head as a
Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke! A Visit To The Duke's Lair
This man who made my arm a hostage whistled as if he is not torturing someone. He didn't even let me thanked the Duchess.I looked back and saw James, who nodded at me.If news about my visit in his duchy appeared, it wouldn't blow me down anymore.We stopped in front of a brown bifold door. By the finger snap, the door opened on its own. It was like the older and magical version of "Siri, open sesame!""Welcome to my lair!"He was like a content creator who was about to make an office tour.It would be weird if I would be the first to enter, so I waited for him to sit on his throne until he signaled me to sit on the chair in front of his worktable.He also ordered James to bring water and tea for me.This humble chancery was the opposite of the typical aristocratic office. They calculated the space needed around the office. Even extending both arms, there was still a wiggle room.
Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke! Miuerella's Novel
"Thank you for making my best friend happy."Whose voice is that?Everything became dark, or I suppose it was the apple tree's shadow. My eyes witnessed how it walked on its own."Hi. I'm Apol." The tree branches extended towards me, so I shook them."Please, do not leave, my friend. I am already old and, I do not think I could stay longer."I only nodded.After the weird scene, the tree went back to its original position as if nothing happened."Why do you trust me? Also, why are you such a temptress when you sleep?"This time, it was the Duke's voice. When I checked on him, no one's sleeping on my lap.Impossible! I would definitely see him waking up unless...I opened my eyes. Was this the reality, or was I still dreaming?The distance between our faces was approximately 6 inches. And why were we lying on this blanket laid on the ground?
Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke! Let's Save Daria!
As the wheels of the carriage kept spinning, so as our conversation.~"Your Grace, I heard your heavy breathing. Was there any problem?""The Kingdom of Tozia learned about our expedition. They will attack us since we're away, so please evacuate immediately. Based on our source, their army will arrive this afternoon. Do not worry. We'll be there after I disposed of the old scumbag.""Did you forget I had your blessing?""The blessing couldn't work its wonders today, so you had to listen."~See? He hid important detail from me! This blessing he gave was still a mystery to me. I should have asked the Duchess if he didn't drag me away.Moving on, the Kingdom of Tozia is a small kingdom from another continent. From my impression as the reader, the Daria had good diplomacy with them even though we're frenemies in economics, businesses, and research. But why now? This scene wasn't from the novel eith
Get Out Of My Way, Devilish Duke! The Tozia Princes
After the formal greetings, the three families got to know each other. While the heads of the families discussed the marriage proposals, it depicted my killing intent in my eyes.Who would have thought the florist and the second Prince of Tozia Kingdom were the same people?“Why not give them alone time so they could know each other?” the Emperor said.The Emperor was right in giving us privacy. I should confront him.He also told us to follow his secretary, which led us to a smaller chamber. It has the same circular table that was useful for discussions, arguments, etc.They sat on the chairs on the right side, their backs are facing the window. We sat on the opposite side.Her grip tightened as the tension strengthened when the secretary left the four of us.I looked at her.
