"My lady, aren't you excited that we'll finally be going back to the capital?" May asked me cheerfully as she put the last luggage on the wagon.
It was finally the day of our departure. Everyone seemed to be rejoiced by the fact that they could finally see their loved one back at home. But me, I would have a lot of things to sort out as soon as I was back. So I was restless.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this and as a result I barely got any sleep last night.
"Hoahm… Yeah."
I stretched my arms as I yawned while gazing at the beautiful jewel-blue stream in front of me. The water seeping and snaking smoothly past all obstacles. Twigs twirled on its murmuring surface, little messengers from the moun
"Let's not meet each other again, eomma," I smiled coldly at the familiar, stern looking middle-aged woman sitting in front of me, before picking up the document that finalized my contract termination from her table. This was it. I was finally free. I couldn't help but feel relieved. It was like a heavy weight that had been weighing me down for years and years was lifted off my shoulders as I walked out of my old agency. I gave one last look at the place that was so familiar to me for the past seventeen years. A practice room that was like home. The recording studio that raised me in my youth. The place that held so many memories. Goodbye... &nbs
A groan escaped my lips as another wave of pain and nausea hit me. I felt like crying, screaming away all the pain.I was about to open my eyes when sudden fragments of foreign memories rushed into my mind, swamping my brain like a tidal wave.Whose memories are these?! Wait, am I even alive? More foreign thoughts began to fill my head.An abandoned castle. A beautiful woman with long platinum blonde hair and emerald green eyes holding a tiny baby who was swaddled in warm blankets, while looking out the window all day long, missing her husband who never visited her even once.Wait? What kind of fucked up thoughts are these?!
That night, after convincing the worried Elle that I was alright and wanted to sleep early, I bid her goodnight and was finally left alone in the room.The moonlight shone through the cracks of the slightly opened curtains, illuminating the room.I sat in front of the desk and contemplated my new life, trying to come up with a plan to survive in this completely a whole new world.I grabbed a quill, or I don't know, this? Their pen?"Shit," I cursed when the ink splattered on my hand.Gosh, I wondered how people could write using this thing.Anyway, I had to make do for now so I di
For the first few days, I still thought that I was hallucinating or dreaming since I was in an accident. However, the reality betrayed my expectations. Nothing changed even if I slapped myself, cursed the author or cried all night I tried everything I could come up with, thinking everything was just a dream. I, who never practiced any religion in my past life even tried to pray to God, then I prayed to Budha. Neither heard or answered my prayers, so I got creative. I prayed to Zeus, and Hades, and then Morpheus, Isis, Diana, Freyja. None answered. So in the end, I had no choice but to accept this as reality.
Time flies.A little more than a month had already passed since Alistair stumbled into the Lily Palace and met his half sister, Belladonna.Alistair had visited her a few times since then under the pretense of falling in love with her beautiful garden. But still, he couldn't figure her out.His forgotten half sister. It was completely unexpected, but since she somehow appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but be curious.The moment he faced the princess who barely reached his chest as she shone her amethyst eyes at him, a part of him was shaken.'... She's different from what I've expected.'B
It was already evening when Alistair finished his sword training. Instead of taking his time on the training grounds like he usually does, he went to bathe and changed his clothes into something more grand than his usual indoor clothing.Perhaps Alistair's appearance left quite an impression, that Alfons, the butler of Star Palace asked his master if he was going to see his mother, the empress."No." He answered without changing his expression. "I'm going to Lily Palace. Prepare some chamomile tea leaves and any kind of dessert with chocolate flavor, I'm going to take it there."Even though the butler was concerned about his master spending more time at Lily Palace, he knew better than to question his decision. So like the obedient butler he was, he just did what he was told
My relationship with Alistair improved a lot since our first meeting, and he had visited regularly since then. We even had a tea party yesterday.I don't think he trusts me yet, but at least he doesn't hate me.Well, don't get me started about his appearance. I don't think I'll be immune no matter how many times I see that face. He'll still look like a Greek God to me, it was so unreal.Come to think of it, the crown prince was said to be admired not only for his gorgeous face, but also for his power in the empire. The crown prince at the frontline. I thought I could only see the situation in a drama.Since the frontline is literally the first place to face the enemy, most emperors or soon to
The usually composed Alistair looked murderous while walking towards Lily Palace with a sense of urgency.After Osiris told him what was happening there, he felt something tugging at his chest. So he didn't even think twice when he ordered Osiris and his guard to come with him to Lily Palace.He knew he was being emotional right now which is not like himself.But he couldn't deny that a month he had spent with Bella made him experience countless new emotions that he didn't know he was capable of feeling. It was the first time that he felt the urge to protect someone so badly.‘How many years did she have to endure it by herself? She must have suffered a lot.’ Alistair thought with
