Aileen was staring at her reflection in the human-sized mirror. She could not help but ask the woman. "Lady Szcheriziel, are you perhaps a sorcerer?"
She heaved a heavy breath and accepted that the lady would not answer. Aileen wondered where the heck the soul of this aristocrat lady went to.
The queen left her chamber. As usual, the servants bowed their heads and greeted her. Then she told them, "Please don't enter the library without my acknowledgement. I want to read alone."
"Yes, madam. Please call us if you need something."
She locked the door and started browsing the books. "This may be a fictional story, but who knows if the spell written on the book would work. I need to try at least," Aileen mut
"I won't let you in until you really are Shaun!" The queen yelled, and everyone thought the couple were quarreling.The servants are wishing the two would reconcile sooner because they were afraid that their king would be back from being the cold and intimidating guy. Their madam had softened thy king."What do you mean? I am your Shaun. My beloved, it's me."All of a sudden, the king stopped knocking and started screaming in excruciating pain. As a result, the servant panicked. Aileen heard the commotion outside her chamber. Due to her curiosity and concern, the queen opened the door."W-What's wrong?" Aileen caressed her husband's cheek. Then, she asked two of the servants to help the king lay on
The go-getters' trill, the morning sun radiates looking through the mists, and birds do their wake-up routines, flying through the gentle breeze of wind. The king looked at the brilliant light, which covered the sky, loaded with magnificence, very much like the way he couldn't get his eyes off the woman who was in the middle of working back n' forward.All of a sudden, his trusted right hand appeared with piles of paper. and said, "Your excellency, the invit-"Viscount Severo failed to finish his statement as the king uttered, "Burn all those invitations.""As you order, your excellency. But, it's been forever since you visited this area. Are you perhaps observing something, or are you thinking of something?""Thinking about where my rationality was," the cold king replied."P-Pardon?" The perplexed Viscount almost dropped his jaw, hearing the composed king utter something nonsensical. Then left after seeing where the king's attention was, none other than watching the queen from a dis
Her hand fidgeted, and she wanted to bite her fingernails due to the fear his gaze bestowed on her. At the back of her mind, 'His piercing gaze... that face... It's Viishaun!' She shook her head, and this was not the time to be afraid. I need to explain things to him since 'Shaun' pooped out in the picture when he shouldn't."D*arn it!" He cursed at the wind.She convinced herself not to blink when the king raised his hand and threw a blanket at her. "W-What are you doing, my excellency?""My love, how's your hand?" He asked, caressing the bandage in the queen's wounded hand.She blinked twice and whispered, "A while ago, he was a lion ready to shut me with a sharp fang, but now he looks like an adorable kitty."“My love, let’s have dinner.” The king stood up and extended his hand, asking his wife to take them.Aileen sighed and held his hand. The servants looked relieved when the king and queen passed by them, holding hand by hand."I don't understand what you are trying to say, m
“Look over there! Such a handsome guy! My eyes are bliss,” says the lady whispering among themselves. “I-It’s his excellency,” the queen muttered trying to mix in the crowd to avoid being noticed by the king. But she was surprised to see why his excellency was smiling. She thought… ‘The only time he smiles is when he’s with me and when he is Shaun.’ “Who is he smiling at?” Aileen uttered. Then her eyes widened when she saw her husband kneel and kissed the back of the lady’s hand. Something inside is unhappy seeing Viishaun comfortably smiling with another woman. “T-That’s…” the maid was hesitating to answer because it might cause misunderstanding, and thought they were already not on good terms since the king slept in his chamber. “That’s princess Elvira of the royal Vermillion Kingdom.” “P-princess?” Aileen was amazed at the beauty of princess Vermillion. She has red hair and a pair of perfect wide brown eyes with long lashes. Her nose is well-sculpted and perfectly goes along
"So, it's not your first time seeing him?! You were cheating on me?!" says Viishaun, squinting his eyes."Don't act as if you were jealous. I would have believed it if it was 'Shaun' and not Viishaun. I know you have no interest in me, but if your attitude and behavior keep changing, the people will find us confusing.""What do you mean?" He seated straight, crossing his legs together, and the same goes with his arm, while his brows raised like alps."Take an example, my maid, the secretary, and marquises. They might think we're only having union problems, but if you keep doing that, they might notice something is wrong with you. Usually, your normal self was..." Aileen was hesitant to mention what he was when under the spell. To cut it short, when he's Shaun and not Viishaun."Let me remind you... That 'Shaun' was not me. Also, you tricked me and made me marry you, and now you are telling me to keep acting like a fool?" Aileen could not constrain her madness with the arrogant King.
He was bust locking himself in his office and refused to see the queen after recollecting fragments of memories when he was Shaun a while ago. "Out of pity, huh? She's pretty blubber-mouthed when she's mad," he murmured to himself as he recalled her saying she wouldn't have married him if he had kept his jerk personality because she didn't ask him to treat her dearly; made Aileen consider marrying him out of pity. It was the last thing he heard before 'Shaun' took over again, and before he knew it, he was already devoted to the queen again."Spell... Schreziel kept telling me I was under 'love-bound' spell but insisting she had nothing to do with the spell," he uttered, talking to himself.The King's head started to ache again, so he stood up. He left his office in the middle of the night to look for the queen at her chamber. While heading to Aileen's chamber, he thought of combining their chamber by converting the empty room; beside his chamber into an extension of their chamber.
"You... Let's have a serious talk, but let's treat that cut on your finger first." The queen silently followed the King's footsteps until they arrived at his chamber. "Sit down," says Viishaun.The queen remotely followed his words and silently waited for what he would do next. He came back with a box of medical kits and sat beside her, on the edge of the bed."I won't kill you, so you don't have to worry about your life," says Viishaun."Pardon?" The queen blinked twice and thought her ears played with her."I said I won't kill you. Do you think I'm crazy enough to kill the queen? Also, I have my word when I exchange vows with the woman I married at the sacred church. Lastly, I pledge I would never kill a woman I shared a night with," he replied while treating Aileen's finger, wrapping it with a bandage.The queen felt her cheeks were burning with the mention of marital duty. She looked at the King and replied, "But... it was Shaun who promised all of those things you mentioned."
"What kind of sh*t is this thing?" says Viishaun while holding a cup of sweetened coffee with melted ice cream. Aileen got mad because he compare her favorite drink to a sh*t. She slapped the surface of the paper and raised her voice, and she said, "S-Sh*t?! Did you just label my favorite drink with that barbaric name?" "Did you just raise your voice at me? Were you disrespecting me perhaps?" The king replied, wearing an annoyed face. Instead of retracting by words, she simply looked away and sipped her drink, but he made another provocative question. "Who would like this disgusting and inelegant drink?" The king lifted his left upper lip in disgust while slightly stirring the cup. "You uncultured swine, this is a Coffee float!" The queen screamed and scooped an ample amount from her cup to force Viishaun to have a taste of it. The king glared at the Queen and wiped his mouth, but he somehow had tasted it. "You're acting cocky, have you forgotten who's seated next to you? You sh
