Mornings in the palace are always filled with busy servants who work hard. No matter where one looked, one would see servants busy doing their respective duties.At the beginning of every month, a freight carriage would come to the palace to carry orders made by the palace people. From food, cloth, to souvenirs, everything arrives at the palace at the beginning of each month. The schedule naturally kept all the maids busier than usual, until when Carla offered to help, none of the servants refused her offer.Just like the others, Carla helped the servants to secure the newly arrived items. But while working, Carla's eyes couldn't stop looking around her. The woman made sure no one saw her first before she approached Greta, who was already at their rendezvous point.“Aunt Carla!”Growing up in a healthy environment made Greta grow up to be a bright and smart girl. The girl looked very relaxed, as she approached Carla and immediately hugged her tightly.“I miss you, Auntie! Are you all

No one knows for sure when the rumors started. But quickly, the news that King Emilio is a cold-blooded man who will kill anyone who stands in his way spreads in society. Concerning Emilio, who had turned the capital into hell under his leadership when he was still a prince, people began to doubt that having Emilio as their king was the right choice.Even though people's opinions wouldn't change the fact that Emilio remained their king, a king would still lose his power if the people didn't support him anymore. The news grew further and further until the rarely mentioned name of Prince Raoul rose to the surface again.When people recalled how King Emilio had behaved, some people began to feel that the news that Prince Raoul betrayed his kingdom was also not true. After all, compared to King Emilio who never took to the streets or made any major changes, the name of Prince Raoul who for years protected the kingdom on the northern border was more well-known to the public. Northerners des

“Ana, can you see? The flowers you love are already blooming. I planted them myself this time. I actually can't believe that just by looking at you, I can finally grow my own flower garden.”On a sunny day, Emilio felt that it was the perfect time to take Ariana out for a walk. The man carried Ariana, and sat her in the small gazebo in Emilio's garden. The man's face was filled with a sad feeling, as he didn't get any reaction from Ariana.“Since I got rid of everyone who hated you, you are now free to play in the palace as you wish, Ana. I will also accompany you whenever you want. From now on, let's assume that we are the only ones left in this world.”Emilio's expression broke slightly when he saw Ariana's hand hurt just because he held it. Even if Emilio had tried to take care of her carefully, Ariana's body was still changing over time. The cold hand slowly rotted away as time passed. Ariana, who became the most beautiful woman in Emilio's eyes, slowly lost her skin and flesh due

King Emilio was in his study at that time when someone came in a hurry to tell him the news he had dreaded the most.“Your Majesty, an intruder has entered and taken Duchess Alison away!”Ignoring everything else, King Emilio immediately ran to return to his royal palace right then and there. Emilio thought Ariana would be safe in her castle since she assigned almost half the royal knights to guard just that place. Ariana has also been very well-behaved lately. The girl even allowed Emilio to spend the night in her room, then smiled a little on various occasions. Emilio thought they could get back to where he wanted to be right away. The happiness he longed for was right in front of his eyes when Ariana started to open her heart again.But the sight that the man had when he returned to his palace, had crushed all of Emilio's hopes. The man could only see dozens of wounded or dead royal knights, while Ariana herself was nowhere to be found. The only reason Emilio's sanity was gone, leav

Prince Raoul stared at the capital's gates with a nostalgic look as soon as he managed to see the place from a distance. With the constant troubles that had befallen him since Raoul left the capital, it felt like it had been a long time since the prince had been able to return to his hometown. Within that gate, there was Ariana and the thousands of citizens of the capital that he needed to save. His fight in that place will determine his victory in the fight for the throne.Prince Raoul took a deep breath to calm himself. The prince had gone through many battles to get to this point. But in all the battles, he had never felt this nervous. Raoul could only pray that everything went smoothly. Ariana has been rescued from the royal palace, while Emilio is nowhere to be found after being poisoned. For now, Raoul only needed to focus on breaking into the palace and taking back what had belonged to him all along.“Your Highness, please leave the rescue of the citizens to me and my troops. W
