As the distance between the northern border and the capital was very far, Prince Raoul only received the news of Duke Andrew's departure a few weeks later. After the prince learned that the war was starting from the south, the man intended to take all his soldiers to go to the southern border. With the strength he had cultivated for nearly three years, Prince Raoul felt he was more than capable of defending his kingdom and defeating the enemies of the Orvel Kingdom. Prince Raoul had been on the battlefield for a long time. He knew very well, that Duke Andrew would only send his life at death's door if he went to fight the Orvel Kingdom's army without his full strength.Duke Andrew is the only family Ariana has. Just like he had only his father, that girl must have felt utterly devastated when she had to send her grandfather into battle. Raoul never wanted to see Ariana sad for any reason. For him, who prioritized Ariana's happiness above anything else, following Duke Andrew to the sou

It was raining heavily that day in the Sigmund Kingdom. Since the rain had not stopped since early morning, Emilio could only stay in his palace since he woke up in the morning. The man who has now grown into a handsome seventeen-year-old man lightly touched the glass window of his room and then enjoyed the cold temperature that ran through his fingers that touched the cold surface.The crown prince didn't know where it all started to go wrong. But somehow, Emilio began to realize that his mother was busy with his own business, while his father locked himself in his study every day. He had no one to accompany him since his engagement with Ariana was simply annulled. Emilio could probably ask someone to come and accompany him. Yet out of all of them, none looked at him as sincerely as Ariana.Thinking about Ariana only made Emilio's feelings worse. Emilio thought, out of the many people who were only kind to him because he was a crown prince, he at least had the always loyal Ariana to

One week had passed since Emilio was first declared in a coma. Even though the bruises that had stained Emilio's body were gone, the man continued to sink into a long sleep without any progress. No matter how hard the royal doctor tried to treat Emilio, the man still closed his eyes very peacefully.In Emilio's room sat Queen Melisa, who hadn't moved an inch since she started sitting next to her child. Her dark eyes continued to stare at the figure of the child who lay helpless. Queen Melisa knew everything would be meaningless if Emilio really couldn't come back to his senses.Currently, Queen Melisa might still be able to control the nobles and ensure that there would be no fuss due to Crown Prince Emilio's unfavorable condition. But at this rate, even if Queen Melisa poisoned all the nobles in the Sigmund Kingdom, there was nothing she could gain as long as Emilio didn't open his eyes anymore.For many years, Queen Melisa became a demon for the sake of her child. The woman never th

In the middle of Prince Raoul's army headquarters, there was a girl who was being served a drink by one of the soldiers. From a distance, people could already tell that the girl was a very attractive person. Even though her body was dirty and covered in dust in some places, her round eyes and red lips still caught the attention of the men in the place.What's more interesting, even though the girl had just experienced an incident that almost burned her alive, her spirit of life was still burning when she had intimate conversations with the soldiers who dared to approach her. The girl didn't mind talking to everyone, as if being in the army base and talking to soldiers who had just returned from fighting was normal for her.“His Highness Prince Raoul has returned!”It was only when people started kneeling and welcoming Prince Raoul back that the girl finally stopped talking to other people. Her round eyes stared at Raoul with a surprised look, before he immediately saluted with a hasty

As per royal rule, Ariana would visit the palace first to receive her official order before going to the battlefield. Fortunately, ever since Ariana had intended to become a swordsman, her grandfather had asked someone to make Ariana light but strong armor. For the first time, Ariana ended up using the custom-made armor. Ariana's gaze softened, as she picked up her sword and went back to reading the words carved into her sword.“Be the change you want.” After Ariana mumbled those words, Ariana put away her sword again and prepared to go out and meet her troops. The knights of the Alison family probably knew her and respected her from the bottom of their hearts. But, ordinary soldiers don't necessarily do the same. Ariana has to be firm, even though she's the youngest commander at just 17 years old.With a convoy from Alison's territory, they slowly entered the capital's territory. The soldiers of Alison have always been known as the strongest of all solder in the kingdom. Not to mentio
