Clouded in Fear
Just like in her previous life, Ejila had an adorable son that resembled Alluka. Darya watched Alluka cry while holding the child in his arms. He kisses Ejila who’s now asleep after labour. However, she could not come close. No, she could not move her feet even though she wanted to. Her eyes were watery and her heart was bleeding inside as she was struck by the fact that she almost became a mother with an adorable son like that. Her tongue was tied and her hands were shaking. She suddenly realized that she had lost a precious being inside her womb. Noticing her current state, Captain Theobarlt ran his hand to Darya’s waist and gently pulled her closer to him. So then Darya found herself turning to him, wrapping her arms around his waist as she silently cried in his arms. Later, Captain Theobarlt is carrying her. “It seems like I have to take the Crown Princess back to her chambers.” He announced, making the clueless Alluka and Silla look towards him.Their eyes widened

A Woman
“Your Majesty, we just could not understand the idea of choosing a Crown Princess rather than a Crown Prince.” Viscount Morata started to speak about his opinion.“Women are meant to be managing the house, doing household chores, and attending tea parties and banquets. They exist to assist their husband after doing all the external work. Should we not be worried about our wives if they could handle such responsibilities like the whole Empire? They are weak in nature and they must do the things they should do.”Many nobles approved of Viscount Morata’s claim as it was supplemented by other nobles’ opinions, agreeing to the idea that it must be a Crown Prince not a Crown Princess. However, there are also nobles who spoke their minds.“I believe that gender is not a qualified reason to judge a person by their responsibility,” said Count Sebastian. “I also believe that one person is capable of doing something bigger regardless of their gender.” He added.Marquis Hainey then approved of it

The Regrets
When the meeting was done, Crown Princess Darya and the Emperor did not leave the meeting room. In the end, no one can stop Darya from her imperative and they have approved of her having concubines. Duke Esteban was pretty shocked about it but in the end, he just nodded his head and approved of just being her consort. “Sometimes, I have no idea who is more mature, my granddaughter or the nobles.”Yes. Since the day his granddaughter started making moves for the better of the Empire, he started realizing how unreasonable and childish the nobles are. He started looking down on himself as a ruler that was unable to do something better because he thought that his subjects were on his side.“They said that what makes you today were the experiences you have gone through. I wonder how much my granddaughter suffered to have become this strong willed and brave. Did Prince Harrique make you like this?”Darya was not able to speak for a few seconds. She knows that she is becoming more and more

The Past Life
“You will make the Emperor drink this.”His eyes went wide upon seeing the white powder given by Viscount Morata.“What?” He could not believe what he heard. He looked at Kathika who was with him.“I heard from the commoners that they put that to their cornfields to kill pesticides.” Kathika explained. “I tried it on a rat and it is effective. It only takes one drink to kill a person—“What impertinence is this? Do you know what you are doing?” He stood up from his seat, unable to believe what they were talking about.“Don’t tell me you have changed your mind, Duke Esteban?” Count Marshall lit his cigarette and smoked it. “I thought that you were going to be the Emperor? That is what Lord Garrett claimed before you married the Emperor.”He was silenced. When he was young, his father often mentioned him becoming the Emperor. But he thought that it was just a way of making him do his best to become the perfect heir. He never even thought about becoming the Emperor.“Lorenzo is also read

The Town of Alvellor
“Please take me with you, Your Highness.” Silla had been begging Darya to take her with her in the upcoming battle she will be going to. “You do not have to worry about me because I have graduated with knighthood. I am qualified to stand in the battlefield—“I respectfully decline your request, Silla.” Darya stopped from walking to face Silla. “You have just graduated knighthood and you are not experienced enough to stand in the battlefield. This is not just out of concern for your life but I am speaking as a leader.” Darya’s voice became firm, to show Silla that she is serious about declining her request.Seeing that from Darya’s eyes, Silla could only look at her father who’s coming with her. Alluka could not look at her eyes and she can see that he does not want her to join as well.“I will pray for your success, Your Highness.” Silla was forced to accept rejection. It has not even passed a month since her mother gave birth and now her father is going into the battlefield? What hap

Reginald
“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.

However, she will not let him slide for causing property damage and fear to the people who are victi

Confessions
“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

I am alright
“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

Fallen
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
