Sister Lia?"Camillia let out a bitter smile without looking at her."I was doing fine...""...until the Crown Princess came."Kiara lowered her gaze."I heard what happened."After a brief paus

    The cheers of thousands of soldiers echoed across the training grounds.Kiara and Dane stood only inches apart, their practice daggers resting against each other's throats.For several long seconds...Neither of them moved.Then, almost at the same time, both lowered their daggers.The entire arena erupted."Her Highness!""Lord Dane!"Thunderous applause and excited shouts filled the air.---Inside the laboratory, everyone remained speechless.Tristan blinked several times."

    Raymond stood rooted to the spot.For a brief moment, he forgot why he had come.Princess Kiara stood before him dressed entirely in black training attire. Her raven hair was tied into a high ponytail, allowing the afternoon breeze to sway the loose strands framing her face. The fitted black top revealed a physique sculpted through countless years of relentless training rather than vanity. Well-defined abs, lean muscles tracing her arms, and powerful shoulders contrasted beautifully with her delicate, angelic features.She looked graceful.She looked elegant.And somehow...She looked even more breathtaking dressed like a warrior than she did in luxurious gowns.Raymond unconsciously swallowed.How many years...How many battles...How much pain did she endure to build a body like that?He stood speechless.---Inside the laboratory...Luke suddenly shot to his feet."Hey!

  • BACK TO BE THE UNWANTED ONE    The Weight of a Crown

    The joyous atmosphere left behind by the royal wedding disappeared the moment Princess Kiara Hyperion stepped into the Imperial Conference Hall.The vast chamber, usually reserved for the empire's highest officials, quickly filled with ministers, nobles, financial advisers, and military officers. Every seat was occupied, yet not a single voice could be heard.Kiara calmly took her place at the head of the long conference table.Her crimson eyes swept across the room before settling on Raymond.Without wasting a second, she spoke."Raymond.""Yes, Your Highness.""The three files I assigned to Amelia three months ago."She placed her hands on the table."Where are they?"Raymond hesitated."They... were never submitted to Your Highness."The hall became silent.Kiara slowly raised her head."What do you mean they were never submitted?"Her voice remained calm, but ev
