"Try moving your foot."
Chiara moved her foot and found that her ankle doesn't hurt anymore. "T-Thank you ..." She whispered with a flushed face.
The man brought her inside a herbal shop and treated her twisted ankle.
"*Chuckles* No need to be embarrassed. Anyway, stop going outside at this hour, the capital is full of dangerous people, we don't know if the person passing by is good or not."
Chiara stared at the man kneeling in front of her. He has a head of white hair and red eyes just like someone she knows. The smile on his lips is so mesmerizing that anyone wouldn't be able to take their sight away once they've seen it.
Such a handsome feature that looks like he's been favored by their goddess Seruvia.
She was about to ask his name when the door of the shop burst open, both of them glanced at the door and saw a person wearing a beast mask with hurried foo

'Hey, what's happening?!' All the knights in the training hall thought as they watched their Emperor break every single training material one after another."Why is His Majesty training with us?" One of them asked."How would I know?""Didn't you hear? He had a little fight with a beautiful Lady, that's what's been going around since early this morning."I see. Then that explains why he looked so dangerous.""But didn't he hate women? Remember Lady Roban, the upper class noble lady who turned down an arranged marriage with the late prince because she's head over heels for His Majesty when he was still our General?""Ahh, that's disgusting.""Of course. His Majesty made her return home without clothes on after putting sleeping pills on His Majesty's tea and tried to take advantage of his unconscious state.""It was Cha

"By the way, what are you doing at the capital so late at night?"Chiara flinched. 'I knew he would ask this sooner or later, but should I tell him everything? The owner of the bookshop told me to keep the thing about reading books about mana a secret to anyone. And I am talking with the emperor ... I don't think that's a good idea.' She shook her head with that thought."I went to a bookshop in the capital."Carzus examined the lady's face who suddenly averted her eyes. 'I think she's uncomfortable with the topic, but we have to reach for an agreement today, no matter what. I don't want to repeat what happened last night.'"I see. But ... Can't you just buy the book you want and bring it here?""I tried but I can't do that. I am reading the owner's personal book, that's why I can't take it outside. I can only read it at the shop whenever I am done with my work."

A whole week passed and Chiara's face was full of worry ever since she had a picnic with the emperor.She was not allowed to enter the emperor's office, she didn't even see a glimpse of him for the past week. 'Just what the hell is going on?!' She racked her brain to come up with a possible answer but to no avail. 'Maybe he's busier than ever? Or maybe he's not feeling well? Argh! But isn't it the more reason why I should be there taking care of his needs and cleaning everything for him?'She sighed as she replaced the flowers on the vase after cleaning His Majesty' room.She looked at the bed, on the floor, on the coffee table and at the couch. There was really no trace of Carzus coming back to his room.'Aarrghh!' She held her head in frustration. "So what if he didn't return to his room for a whole week? I don't even care that he didn't want to see my face anymore! Hah. Who was the one acting so s

Triton palace's private kitchen."This is the herb that only grows in the mountains of Maccesa and this root is from the tree that you said, My Lady." A knight approached with all the ingredients she needed to make medicine for Carzus."Thanks, Sir Kian."The night named Kian didn't dare raise his head. "It's my honor, My Lady. I sincerely thank you for standing up for us last time and this may be too late but I really want to apologize for what happened that night at the capital.""It's all done and I don't have any grudge with you or something." Upon hearing her response, Kian felt relieved for the first time after the past week. He really blamed himself for what happened to the Lady, that's why he took this chance to apologize. But who knows that their Lady was this kind?"I sincerely thank you, My lady. I shall leave you now so you can start the preparations."

"This is a medicine made by Lady Florentine." Sir Kian handed Seviere a tiny bottle that contained Chiara's boiled root and herb.Seviere was taken aback, "I- I don't think this is a good idea ... Why does she have to ...""Please pardon me, Chancellor. I've witnessed the lady's efforts in doing this medicine. She looked for a recipe at the capital from the bookshop she frequented and made all the preparations from the start to finish.""I appreciate the effort but──""And she passed out from overworking."Seviere's mouth twitched, "P-Passed out ...""Yes, Chancellor."He slapped his head in frustration, "I don't think giving this to His Majesty is a good idea. First, Lady Florentine is not a priest nor a herbalist, only they could make a medicine that is actually effective."Sir Kian paused and couldn't retaliate. Wh

When Chiara gained consciousness the next morning, she immediately prepared herself to see the emperor without waiting for Shiela to come and prepare everything for her.She merely let her hair flow without any accessory and wore a plain light blue dress like what she always wears.There was a warm smile on her face while she was admiring the early morning scenery. 'The breeze at dawn is really refreshing!' She thought as she stretched her hands in the air.She reached Triton palace in no time and headed straight towards the office. She knocked twice before opening the door.She shut the door closed carefully and saw Carzus lying on the couch, looked fast asleep.'I especially went 2 hours earlier than usual so I wouldn't run into anyone and that no one would stop me from visiting His Majesty.'She approached the man and carefully studied his slumber appearan

"Your Majesty, the children are all better now. The temple is letting them go back to their families this afternoon." Ellie reported. He took Seviere's place for the time being while the latter was sent to inspect the borders on the southern part of the empire."Mm." Carzus answered nonchalantly."How 'bout the child?"He paused. 'Should I send him back? Or ...' He unconsciously gripped the paper in his hand while deciding on what to do with the kid. "Let him come back here and inform his family to pick him up personally."The corners of Ellie's mouth formed a straight line. "Are you prepared to see them now, Your Majesty?"Hearing the latter's question, Carzus' countenance darkened. There was a part of him who wanted to see them, but he was scared of their reaction if they learned that he was alive. "Who knows. They might not even recognize me."Those sad wo

Carzus' mood sank and his eyes turned sharp. 'This child. How could he just sleep with Lady Florentine?'"Y-Your Majesty ... Calm down, he's just a child." Ellie tried to smoothen the situation.Even though Carzus was flaring with anger, Sebastian didn't falter. He doesn't want to see his mother make that kind of face anymore. He needs to mend their relationship even little by little."What? Do you see me as a threat? Well, even though I'm just a child, I will still grow up soon you know. And I don't mind older women anyway."*SLAM!* Carzus slammed his hand on the coffee table and broke it into two, but still, Sebastian remained calm."I will look at myself in the mirror just once, and you must promise me to stay away from Lady Florentine.""Deal.""Come back tomorrow. I still have to prepare for a meeting.""I will.
