''Is it only me, or did she just say that Your Grace was the same as a farmer?'' One of Henry's advisors voiced the question that was running through everyone's head, Henry had a deep frown on his face while looking at the girl interacting with commoners as if she was one of them.''This is outrageous, Your Grace, she openly offended you, and belittled your status...''''I am sure she just...chose the wrong words...'' Nara, who didn't like what her friend said either, tried to defend her, she knew Dahlia better than anyone for they were close, it wasn't once nor twice when her friend chose the most blunt and direct words to express herself, many took offence in her way of talking but again, Nara did spend a lot of time with Dahlia to know her words only sounded offensive because they lacked the sugarcoat and flattery as well as hypocrisy, No matter how harsh her words were, they were honest, and honesty was never the easiest thing to deliver, same as truth was never th

Landing on the patio of his room in his castle, Eren walked inside while shifting back to his human form and headed straight towards the bath, not only was he feeling dirty and sweaty but also tired, it felt as if life wasn't giving him any chances to catch his breath and kept on coming at him with one attack after the other.On the bright side, his bath was already prepared for him, warm enough to be bearable, and cold enough to stay freshening; just the way he liked it, he was already bare to his skin with his clothes in his hands, throwing them carelessly on the stool, he stepped inside the large pool made of polished black marble, the water was mixed with scented oils, making it smell like the forest, like the earth and the soil and the trees and the bush and the moss and the dew, all together, he inhaled deeply while closing his eyes, relaxing a little, for there was only one scent which he loved more than the forest's and it belonged to a certain girl that he seemed to

Sneaking out of her room’s patio and towards the castle’s gate, Sara tried her hardest to not get anyone’s attention, there were few ours left before the break of down, and earlier that night, she made sure to exhaust hers sister with every bit of paper work she could do, and even made her discuss war strategies which Nara knew nothing off, all in an effort to exhaust her enough so she would sleep until late that morning and not find about her absence, Sara hated to lie to her sister, but the princess was becoming a real liability with her insisting all the time to accompany her everywhere, causing Sara to falling behind, not just with her investigations, but also with her training.She couldn’t take it anymore, Sara told herself while jumping swiftly from one roof to the other, her footsteps silent as she didn’t want to wake the capital residence, she didn’t know what was looking for exactly, but a stroll, an appropriate one this time, was

Sara walked confidently through the castle’s gate, greeting the guards who stepped out of the way for her while greeting her back, however, she did notice them exchanging a quick look, as if hesitating about something.“You were asked to monitor my moves?” she asked calmly, her eyes reading the answers from the young guards’ faces that looked apologetic and uncomfortable with the orders they were given, but Sara didn’t take that to heart, she understood it was not in their hands but in the hands of their superiors, the question was, which one. “The princess gave us orders!” hearing their words, Sara raised her brows until they almost touched her hair line, she expected Henry to be the one who gave the orders which wasn’t surprising at all with the things Eren told her, but for it to be her sister, it was all too strange.What was her sister thinking? Sara wondered, not just abusing her father and questioning

“Fuck…” Sara frowned when she heard the word, but her confusion turned into concern when she saw the distant and worried expression on Eren’s face, with his dark brows knitted, his eyes clouded and his jaw clenched firmly, his body was present but his thoughts were elsewhere.Not understanding what was happening with him, Sara watched him with a mixture of concern and curiosity, and something else, she thought as her eyes wondered all over his body before returning to his face, unable to look away from him.He was beautiful! Dangerous and dark and edgy but hauntingly beautiful, like unforgivable sin, so dark and forbidden yet so tempting, even when he was so distant and lost in thoughts, he still carried his charms on his sleeves.And those lips of his, she thought as her eyes were transfixed on them while he pressed them tightly, no wonder she fell for his charms, no wonder Nara, who was surrounded by charming men all her life, fell for
