“Why does it feel like I am dealing with a child?” That was what Darya first thought upon having a conversation with the Corstan Crown Prince. She never thought that all he did was just for fun to add ‘thrill’ on their first formal meeting, as he stated. She felt like she got played by a mentally ill man.“Your Highness.”Again, this Corstan Crown Prince is calling for her whenever she gets silenced for a few minutes. She provided him a room in her palace for surveillance. She could not just put him to prison because it will cause war between the Empire and the Corstan Kingdom. As of now, she will monitor this Crown Prince until he finally comes back to his senses and makes up the mess he made.Luckily, he only held the Alvellor people captive as he made it look like he invaded the town. The reason? It is because he wants to meet her in person, as a Crown Prince of the Corstan Kingdom. However, she will not let him slide for causing property damage and fear to the people who are victi
Crown Prince Reginald was grinning ear to ear while watching Darya sign the documents of their legal relationship. As soon as she was done, he walked closer to her, pulled her and kissed her in front of everyone that was there to witness. These include the Emperor, the Corstan Chamberlain, the Priest, and Duke Esteban. When it was done, Reginald was sticking to Darya as he never left her throughout the day. As for Duke Esteban, he had to come back to the Dukedom after attending the ceremony. He might not like that the Corstan Crown Prince was so clingy to his wife but... he knows that he should not do something she won’t like. Duke Esteban left the Imperial Palace with a heavy heart.Darya was busy doing all her work as the Crown Princess. However, she could not help but look at Reginald who’s going around her office, doing anything to ease his boredom. A while ago, he was just reading books and now he is eating the snacks given to her by the maids. She ignored him and just continued
“So tired,” Darya leans towards Captain Theobarlt after he sits beside her.They are currently in her personal garden to which she ordered to be full of peonies. They are sitting in the swing she specifically made for the two of them. In fact, she made that garden for her privacy which only Captain Theobarlt can enter without permission.Captain Theobarlt moved his arm to her side to support her from leaning. He held her waist which he specifically realized how big his hand was to touch half of it.“You are so small, Lysandra.” He could not bear the fact that he wanted to say that to her a long time ago but only had the shamelessness now.Darya was surprised to hear him say that, making her look up to him. But after seeing his flustered face, she chuckled. “You have been holding that since the beginning, am I right?”“Yes. You feel like a little parrot. Fear would run through my veins whenever I held you with my arms, feeling like you would break like a glass.”Darya blushes. “It is g
“My Crown Princess,” Reginald comes to the Crown Princess’ office to visit her. He immediately walks towards her to give her a hug but before he could come closer, Darya’s personal aid was standing between them.His sulking face turned annoyed as he glared at Lavenorth. “I came here to visit my wife. Can’t I do it?”“Excuse me, Corstan Crown Prince, for my insolence but Her Highness is currently doing her best to accomplish something you have not. As a concerned subject, I would have never wished to disturb Her Highness as I will feel so low as a pig in the mud.”Knowing what Lavenorth meant, his eyes went really dark as his whole body blazed in anger, however, his intent of killing Lavenorth immediately faded when he felt a hand hold his’. He saw Darya’s hand while still writing on a piece of paper. She did not say anything but the tension between him and Lavenorth just faded.“I would like to hear no commotion.” She said after being engulfed with short silence, still focused on read
Captain Theobarlt was so worried to see the Crown Princess’ reddened eyes and cheeks. She probably cried before going into their urgent meeting. What happened? However, no matter how unwell she looked, she could pull off good leadership. As she discussed the problem that had arisen, you could not tell if she was breaking down or not. She had such great control in her feelings that you could only think that she might have just gotten cold this morning.“Are we going to make use of the new recruits?” Captain Quira, he is pertaining to the fresh graduates of the knighthood. “No, however, we will make a formal announcement regarding an application to join the subjugation. This way, it is up to the new recruits whether they will be joining or not.” Darya answered.“It is a good idea but regarding this formal announcement to make, are we going to emphasize the rewards to stimulate any applicants?”“The reward will not be announced for the reason that if we gave them money, those applicants
Since it will cause an uproar to the whole Empire if what happened comes to light, Duke Esteban carried out the Crown Princess’ duty, appearing that it is her command. He had only told a few people about the disappearance of the Crown Princess such as the Emperor and all trusted subjects. The Emperor made a command of searching Darya with just a few knights to remain unnoticed by the public and other nobles who planned on laying their hands to the Crown Princess. Knowing that Captain Theobarlt was with her, Emperor Oswald was not too worried about his granddaughter. He still remembered that day he called for him in his office. As soon as he saw Captain Theobarlt, he just looked at him for a few seconds and let him leave without saying anything as he was rest assured that Darya will be in good hands.After two days, the subjugation of the monsters in Vamono was successful as Captain Quira, Captain Urgos, and Duke Esteban returned with victory. People are confused as to why the Crown Pr
The Imperials knights could not stand the sight of the slaughtered goblins scattered everywhere after going deeper into the coniferous forest. It took them a day to secure the front area because they encountered bandits and found out that they purposely took monsters to the vicinity of the capital city. Thanks to Sir Alluka’s skills, they have captured all the bandits and all their belongings. However, as they came deeper to the forest, closer to the walls, they could not believe their eyes to see all of the monsters being scattered everywhere. They could not imagine a person being able to defeat hundreds of them in just a day. They are already late to rescue the Crown Princess as everything was taken care of.“Your Highness!” Alluka immediately saw the figure of Darya from the woods. He snatched the blanket he took from the Imperial palace and ran towards her.“Are you alright, Your Highness?” He wrapped the blanket around Darya. Her hair is wet and it seemed like she just finished
Darya mourned for her grandfather’s death for many days. She would visit the grave of the late Imperial Family everyday whilst staying quiet. Others who stand beside her, assist her with work while she is grieving the death of her only family left. Duke Esteban insisted on working at the Imperial palace along with Lavenorth. As for Crown Prince Reginald who came after hearing the sudden coronation, he could not approach Darya because she would not talk to anyone except for Captain Theobarlt, Duke Esteban, and other close acquaintances of her. At that moment, he felt like the boundary that collapsed between them had been built again and this time, it was so high that it would not be easy to break. So he decided to not break the boundary but climb through it.With that thought, he had no choice but to work with the first consort of Darya, Duke Esteban. They worked together professionally without letting their hate for each other tamper with their pride and dignity. They watched Darya c
