[Dear, Lady Aileen Silver.
The plan is going well. I'm already doing what you instructed me to.However, how long did I have to wait? My father and all the people of this island seem to blinded by her fake kindness. I'm so excited to exposed her true nature.
Of course, thanks to your potion which can force people to say nothing but honesty. Did you know? That pretentious woman seemed doing something with magic.
She is a witch, Lady Silver. No ordinary people can build different building just in one week. Although, she already hired several talented builders, it is just impossible.
However, just like I said before, no one complaint about this, and they still idolized her like she was a goddess or something! Oh, my!
That's why, I'm glad that you are in the same boat with me. And I'm so thankful that you are invited me to the Emperor's birthday party as your guest. Of course, I wil
Aileen read the letter with a bright smile. After that, she threw the letter to the furnace."Too bad. We won't meet again, Lady Lancia." Aileen said while she watched the fire which greedily eat those letters.She crossed her arms and relieved because everything is over. Now, after she kicked out the obstacle, her way to the throne will be going smoothly.But, Aileen needs to do something as a final touch. Then, she takes the pen to write another letter.To be the future Empress, she needs a strong pillar and tremendous support from the nobles. So, no one dare to mess her up.A sly smile escape from her pinkish lip. "Now, the preparation is done."--Mary can't stop to raised her eyebrow while read the letter. "I can't believe this. Someone poisoned the Young Miss? But, why?"Grant shrugged. "Just do what she wants, Mary. Don't a
"It can't be helped, then." Baron Ambrose scratching his head. "I hope everything is going to be okay."Mary nodded twice. "Don't worry. Young Miss will back in the time, and she will send the instruction by letter.""That's relief, though. I can't imagine what could happen without Young Miss."Havana, who unconsciously hiding behind the wall across the corridor, heard the whole conversation about Lady Lancia's business trip to Hagrav with her uncle for several days."Did she ate the cookies?" Havana murmured to herself. She bit her nail and wondering if she needs to report this matter to Aileen.But she chose to keep this matter as a secret. She feels it would be better not to lose Aileen's trust.No matter what happen, she needs to come in Emperor's banquet and marry one of the nobles in Capital to escape from this stupid island.In very quick mo
Kaleela's jaw dropped when she saw what is Cecilia cooked for her. For the first time in forever, she never knew that a soup can be more intimidating than her potion.It makes her wonders if Cecilia doing in purpose. Is she want to kill me? She asked herself. I never thought that she is still angry with me because of our previous conversation."I shouldn't let a noblewoman cook the dinner. Why did this soup is redder than the blazing fire? Is it even edible?"Her reaction was different with Max and Grant who already take a seat, casually fill their bowl with that soup."This is kimchi-jjigae or kimchi stew. Please take a seat, Miss. We have to eat while it hot. I specially made this as a token of apologize for my rudeness before."Kaleela know that this Duke's daughter is being sincere. But, she gulped when saw some red bubbles popped out on the soup. "I'm so disappointed to you, Gra
"What? One gold coin for this is too much! Are you trying to rob me?" Havana can't believe what she heard. How come a dress can be so expensive!Helga, the tailor, shrugged. "The silk alone cost fifty silvers, Miss Ambrose. I can make a substitute by using the finest linen if you want to get the cheaper one."Havana frowned. Linen is the common fabric, aside of cotton, to make daily wear for commoners.It doesn't matter if it is the finest quality or not because linen is linen, she thought to herself. Even that Witch use luxurious silk for her daily wear, it is so unfair!Then, Havana flinched after realize that. An idea crossed in her mind. "That okay, Helga. I'm changing my mind. Thank you and see you later!" She said as she dashed out to the exit door.Havana walks faster to reach her home. With a sly smile, she said, "That witch is currently away, and she won't be not
Mary was cleaning the bathroom when she heard a sound of the open door."Miss? Is that you?" She asked after washing her hand on the sink. However, it's not Cecilia who opened the wardrobe."What are you doing here, Miss Ambrose?"Havana smiled warmly, "Hello, Merry. I want to pick up my clothes.""What do you mean, Miss Ambrose? And my name isn't Merry. It's Mary." The maid said while she crossed her arms."Wow, your employer has a good taste at fashion style. I will take this." She said when take an elegant sky-blue dress.It was tight but full dresses which consisted of a long tunic, together with a stylish veil which fell down from the head, completely covering the neck.A golden thread was sewn along the lace work. An embroidered lace and several small sapphire stones were used to decorate the dress."Wait! It's Miss Lancia's
"I feel so sleepy." Cecilia said when they are on the outside of the restaurant. "Do you want to go home?" "Not really. Actually, I want to buy something for Miss Kaleela. And my father, too." Max raised his brows, "Duke?" "Yes. Hmm, I want to make Makgeolli or rice wine. Two weeks later, I have to go back to Capital. So, this is the perfect time to ferment it." "I never heard anything of this. I thought wine only made from grapes. Really, what kind of book did you read?" "Plenty." She said and laugh lightly. "But, first, I have to exchange my money." "Don't worry. I will pay for you." "No, it's feel so wrong to buy a present with your money. Oh, what if I traded it with you?" Max sighed. Even though it was hurt his pride for unable to treat her better, he can't refuse her opinion. Som
Kaleela found herself trapped in Grant's arms. The sun rays escaped from the curtain and almost blinding her."Are you awake?" Grant's hoarse voice make that red haired woman turned her head and facing his face. "Good morning."Kaleela blushed. Found no courage to directly saw his gray eyes, she's hiding half of her face under the blanket. "Hmm, yeah."Grant smiled and kiss her forehead lightly. "If this was a dream, I prefer not to wake up."Kaleela tried to remember what really happened last night. It started by a silly argument in the living room before they end up in the bedroom.She didn't even remember what were they arguing about. It was Grant who kissed her first.But, what makes her surprised was she responded to it. As if her body moved by itself. She doesn't know why she can fall to his embrace.Is this a magic spell?L
"Thank you, Gale. This look remarkable!" Cecilia said before she took a bite of the toast which the bartender made for her breakfast. "Hmm! It's delicious!"Gale bowed before he sits beside Hugo. They are eating together in the small dining room which located in front of the cellar. "Thank you, Young Miss. I'm glad it suits your taste.""It's just a simple toast, Chili. Everyone can make it." Max said after he drinks a glass of an orange juice.Cecilia shook her head, "You are wrong, Max! Everybody sure can make it. But, to make a toast with this perfect golden color and a bit crispy without any burnt like this, it is a masterpiece.I'm not sure if you are a good bartender, Sir Gale. But, you must be skilled in cooking!"Gale didn't reply even she suddenly adressed him as 'Sir'. He silently ate the toast, but a small smile escaped from his lip."Oh, how did you know
