A day passed since Emperor Darya left the Imperial Palace to Duke Esteban’s hands. Both Lorenzo and Reginald heard about this and only Reginald was able to face Duke Esteban first, in disguise of greeting the first consort.That time, Duke Esteban had just taken a meal for lunch when Reginald arrived at the Emperor’s office and greeted him. After greeting him, Reginald asked if he could help with the workload and of course, Duke Esteban would decline.“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, Casmiri. However, the Emperor specifically lent me this responsibility alone.”Duke Esteban knows that Reginald is head over heels when it comes to drawing the Emperor’s attention and he must not let him take any workload on such important matters, especially that he is coming from an enemy kingdom. Who knows what Reginald is planning to do later if he found something he could use to his advantage? Darya specifically trusted him with the Empire so he must not disappoint her as well.Reginald sm

Darya’s fate might be predicted according to her choice but it was an entirely different area. It was only about the love she was going to experience and not about how she had become an Emperor. There is no doubt that her future in this repeated timeline is unfixed and unwritten as the supposed fate had been crumbled since someone had turned the time back. Just like now, as soon as she was about to depart from Alvellor, she had received an unexpected news that shook her world.Since a carriage will take two days to arrive at the Imperial Palace, she had no choice but to take a personal horse along with General Theobarlt. They galloped their individual horses to the road and to any shortcuts just to come earlier in the Imperial Palace. The two days journey back to the Imperial Palace had become one day. It was dawn when she entered the Imperial Palace.Along her way, she saw a large unusual ship docked on the Hiague port causing horror to the town’s people. There were men scattered in

Zale could not process everything that had been happening to him until now. First, he got married. Then he is treated to utmost care. No one is even letting him wear clothes on his own. They would ask him what he likes and when he told them that he likes books, after a few minutes, there are piles of different books delivered in his magnificent room.Until now, he could not get enough of his room. It was so spacious and well-decorated and designed. His bed is so big that he thinks it would accumulate five people. His bathroom was also big and wide. And when he stood on the balcony of his room, he could enjoy the view of the Imperial garden and the night sky.Back when he was living at the temple, he thought that he was living in luxury but now that he is living in an Imperial Palace of a foreign country, he began questioning if he is really a VIP figure in the Huangyen Empire.After being attended with butlers in the bathroom, he was then dressed. After that, the maids came inside his

Reginald was in a tough position upon hearing the Emperor’s decree. He could not believe his ears and he could already feel his defeat. If he does not do anything to appease the Emperor, all his plans would be in vain. He needs to win. He needs to become the Emperor’s sole husband. Because if he does not win, it will be a stain on his position as the Crown Prince of the Corstan Kingdom if he becomes a concubine. He could also imagine how his father is going to react if he hears about this news. He will surely be pressured by his father.All his life, he was never defeated. All the plans he made are all successful. He is known as the best candidate for the throne and he is talented. Everyone who knows him sees him as a pillar of strategy. Once he is the one who leads, everything will be solved at the shortest time. He does not want to lose to that title as it is the only reason why he had people. Once he does not exceed those people’s expectations, all the years he worked his sweat off

Darya could not refuse. Reginald took that chance to do what he wished. If she had refused, it would make Zale feel bad and she does not want to entangle Zale with her relationship with her consorts. Zale is too innocent to be in conflict with people he doesn't even know. She was silent all the way to Reginald’s room. She would just listen to Reginald’s rambles until it was finally quiet when they got inside the room and the maids and butlers stayed outside. Reginald was silent for a while before then, he slowly turned around to look at her beautiful face.There was a smile on his lips and his eyes were misty. “I am so happy, Your Majesty.” He mumbled and then walked closer to wrap his arms around her. He held her as if she was someone so precious to him.“I can finally be alone with you,” he started caressing her back and kissing her head. What Darya did not expect is when he lifted her up in his arms, surprising her a bit and making her look at his face.“What are you doing?” Is he
