Esteban asked Princess Darya if he could offer help to her task for the upcoming hunting competition, but she respectfully declined him. Esteban is now thinking deeply, inside his room, he is intently looking at the newspaper where Princess Darya’s portrait was printed. The news was about the Princess’ plan on building two orphanages in the city as well as a school and public hospitals. He was mesmerized by how Princess Darya works as a Princess, like she is meant to do things for the Empire. It is just like what he perceived from his dream that Princess Darya will become the next Emperor.Now, his problem has arisen and it is that man who would always lower his head in front of Princess Darya but would always look at her when she is not in front of him. It started when he had the glimpse of the future. He is very sure that Princess Darya will love him and will be infatuated and attracted to him but… who the hell was that man? He was never seen in his dream and Princess Darya never de
An hour has passed and Captain Theobarlt is still standing in front of the door of the First Princess’ room. He was in doubt whether to knock now or later as the Princess did not specify a specific time he would make his report. What is even troubling him is that the First Princess maids and even Alluka were sent to the Princess’ palace grounds so he could come alone to the next floor where her room is located.He admits that he is nervous of meeting the First Princess in such a private way for the first time. And how should the people react if they heard that the Princess called him in her chambers at night? Wouldn’t he anger the heir of the Garrett family, the Princess’ lover?He raised his hand to knock but it seems like his hands could not make it. However, the door suddenly opens and his eyes widened upon meeting the Princess’ morganite eyes. “You have been there for an hour.”He was lost in thought for a second because her beauty is not enough for the word ‘beautiful’ as it is
The banquet to be held in Marquis’ Hainey was grand and well-prepared. It is because this is the first hunting competition that was organized by the First Princess and luckily, there were no casualties that had happened. It was the Marquis’ first time to spend a lot of money to not disappoint the First Princess.The banquet began with the musician’s performance. As the nobles started getting inside, enjoying the performance and dancing with their music, the attendants started distributing the drinks as the maids started serving luxurious foods that are new to the noble’s eyes. The curious nobles inquired about the foods and Marchioness Hainey excitedly discussed it with them. It was thanks to the idea of Princess Darya that the Marchioness had the courage to present the dishes she had created herself. Now she can enjoy her hobby of creating new dishes and nobles have recognized her delicious foods. Meanwhile, Esteban was too early to the party and he is getting irritated that Princes
As Esteban put his hand to her slender waist, he pulled her closer to his chest as he started leading the dance. His heart was melting by just thinking about dancing with the Princess in front of Captain Theobarlt. It felt so good that he does not want to stop dancing with her while they are being watched by everybody as they are seen to be perfect for each other.When he started turning and moving to another place, Esteban’s eyes met Captain Theobarlt who’s standing beside the Princess’ seat. He could not hide the triumph on his face while seeing the sourness in Captain Theobarlt’s face. He pulled Princess Darya closer as he smelled her beautiful fragrant hair. He cannot get enough. He wants to cage her in his arms and keep her by himself. He was about to lean closer to her to kiss her lips but she looked away, making him kiss her cheek instead. “How does it feel to become a Duke, Esteban?” Princess Darya started to ask, to divert Esteban’s attention and stop clinging unto her.“I a
Duke Esteban could not sleep the whole night while thinking about the sudden rejection of Princess Darya. He is certain that he got her on his side but she suddenly changed when ‘that’ man appeared nowhere! He dropped himself on his bed after messing up his room due to his rage. If it was not because of the First Princess earlier, he might have done something awful in front of the nobles. Since when did he start losing his temper?The dream, it started because of that dream! He thought that it was real but maybe the gods are deceiving him!“We are not deceiving you, human.”Esteban was alerted upon hearing a strange voice nowhere. He got up from lying as he looked around his dark room. “Who are you?” He made sure that no one is around his room. He even sent his butler away.“You should be thankful that I have shown you a glimpse of the supposed future.”“Who are you?! Show up!” He exclaimed.“No. I am just somewhere in your room. You will never see me.”He flinched and stopped lookin
When Duke Esteban woke up, the god told him that he would be back after a month to recover. He was devastated to have seen the fourth phase as he felt that he chose the wrong phase. What annoyed him is the fact that Princess Darya never appeared in his dream. So why… and what happened after his marriage to Princess Darya? Why did he become the Emperor and Kathika is the Empress? What happened to Princess Darya? She looked so happy in their marriage so why… did he marry Kathika after her?He could not concentrate on his first day as the Head of the Garrett Family. He would unknowingly stop writing and would think about the fourth phase of his memories that the ‘god’ showed him. So then he found himself writing a letter to the First Princess before he had eased his turmoil.Meanwhile, Princess Darya held the right hand of her grandfather, the Emperor. She is currently staying on his side because she is afraid of the future of her grandfather. She has so many what-ifs in her mind that sh
It is just like how it used to be, during these years, Princess Darya will call for him when she wants to rest and relax. Yes, Captain Theobarlt would sleep with the First Princess while he is holding her. The barrier between them was already gone since the day the First Princess kissed his eyes. However, this intimacy is already enough for him. As long as the First Princess keeps him by her side, he has enough.Captain Theobarlt combed her smooth hair with his fingers as Princess Darya slept soundly in his arms. He then watched her beautiful face as he came across her lips. He found himself running his hand to her cheek and tilted his head down to kiss her lips. And just like that, he stayed in that position until he fell asleep as well.Used to this kind of situation, Silla, her personal maid as well as personal knight went to the curtains to open it. When the sun came to light the Princess’ room, Captain Theobarlt was the first one to open his eyes.“I bet you have morning training
It was another year's celebration for the hunting competition. This time, it was a three-day celebration containing different activities. Every year, it has always been a new activity and this time, commoners have hunting competition as well. On the first day of the hunting competition, nobles started it. On the second day, participants from the commoners had the same competition. And the third day was the most thrilling one. It is a competition where any qualified man can join, either commoner, noble, or foreigner. Nobles who lost on the first day of the competition joined the third day as well as commoners who lost during the second day. However, there were unexpected people who participated in the third day competition. These include Alluka, Silla, the Five Captains, Princess Darya and… some foreigners. What is even more interesting in this year’s hunting competition is there are ten winners in every competition, ranked from first to tenth. The ten winners from every category wil
