All of us in the room were in a shock especially Louis who was reckless enough to suggest going alone to find her...
When I heard of her kidnapping, I instantly got a bad feeling...The first thought on my head was the possibility of the kidnappers being sent by stepmother... a wave of guilt rushed down on me...
Yet another precious person was suffering because of me...
The Charleston house, the House of Leonne and the Royal Family had sent people to search for Rubia who was kidnapped...
She was found unconscious after 2 days at an abandoned site somewhere outside the Empire. She had a few scars on her body and she regained her consciousness after testing for a day.
Since it was my fault, she was in that situation I asked the duke to allow me to remain by her side.
Once she woke the first thing, she did was to curl up in her parent’s arms and then she called me to her side. I was a bit surprised that she called me and not Louis or Fredr
CURRENTLY – THE DUKE HAS CALLED FOR RUBIA TO HIS STUDY AFTER SENDING THE DUCHESS OUT. * "Dad can you repeat what you just said...?" said Rubia in shock "Well... The Emperor and I had a small chat the other day and we came to a conclusion that it would probably be for the best that you and Fredrick live together.... Since you both are to be married in the future." said the duke "Dad... Did you by any chance feel the same way as the emperor...?" "Yes." Rubia's POV - This situation as a whole is just messed up... Since it is the emperor’s request, I never did have the option to reject. If I did, I bet all the Noble's will have the same thought "The Charleston House has gotten so Impudent so as to reject His Majesty's offer..." Seriously what else am I supposed to do. And just when I was getting comfortable with my new Family and this new Life... Duke Henry’s Pov
Rubia's Pov -Why has it got to be this awkward...?!!Author's Note -Let me explain the situation... The Crown Prince and Rubia are dinning together after being told to by the Emperor and the Charleston House..."Rubia... I understand the fact that you wish to not disappoint your family. But I want to ask of your suggestion regarding a certain matter." said Fredrick"I said it last time as well didn't I.? Give me a reason to cooperate with you, Your Highness. Also, I'd appreciate it if you did not bring our marriage into it." said Rubia as she struggled to cut the piece of steak"I have no intention in forcing you... It's just that I had recently visited one of the villages where commoners live. And I found a child who was being ill-treated by the villagers. She was called a ‘Witch’ among the villagers." said Fredrick as he got up and assisted her"Oh...! Thank you. Anyways, a small child
Previously –They set their plan for rescuing the Girl...*"Your Highnesses...! It's already this late and you're still up...!?" said the head maid as she asked of Rubia to retire for the night"Oh...! It's late. I'm sorry for keeping you up Rubia." said Fredrick as he looked up at the clock"*Yawns* Yeah. Well see you some other time... And please do show me the girl. I really want to meet her...!""Sure... It is thanks to you that we could think of a solution so it's only natural you meet her...!”Rubia's Plan was carried out the following week by Fredrick and the Royal Knights. *Fredrick and the Royal Knights used magic to change their appearances to that of regular knights from the Capital of the Empire.They acquired of the child from the villagers and found that the child was living by herself in a small house that was on the verge of breaking.Fredrick who saw
Previously –"Alright. Then Linda let us go and see the woman who saved you...!""The person who saved me... Isn't that you...?""I was the one who rescued you but the one who made the plans to rescue you was my Fiancé."Currently –Fredrick’s Pov –I’ve asked of the head maid to accompany Linda to one of the rooms in my palace for the time being… Once she passes the entrance exams, she will be sent to the Magic Academy which was set up by the head mage.The magic academy was set up to encourage the people who reached manifestation but had no clue of what to do with their magic.Head mage Edward has taken a liking to Rubia ever since the Westlands issue… Every time I had a meal with him, he’d constantly ask of my fiancé.Anyways, she should be here right about now…The sound of a door being knocked inte
Rubia's Pov -It's been over two months since Linda and I shared the same palace and all I’ve got to say is… I hate this place…! I like the time I spent with everyone but the palace where I’m currently residing in… it’s a palace that was built for Rubia when she first met with the emperor.The reason I feel uncomfortable is because… this is the palace which was destroyed when Rubia was executed and to make matters even worse… A palace grander than Rubia’s palace was set up by Fredrick for his lover (and new fiancé) Catherine.These past few nights have been hard on me… I have been having the same dream each night… The palace was being destroyed and citizens were calling Rubia a heartless evil lady. My parents were being shamed and they were stripped of their rank. They pointed towards me and said it was all my fault.By the time my dream was over it was nearly dawn and I knew
Previously –“In my years of experience… I’ve seen people like her. They can sleep but don’t want to. The main reason for that is because they have bad dreams… Nightmares to be precise.”“Rubia does…!?”“Yes.”“Unbelievable…”“Right… Anyways, I’m going. Tata…!” said Sid as she waved at Fredrick“Will you be going back using your own magic...?”“Nah. I’m visiting Edward…!” (Edward – Head Mage)“Whatever.” Said Fredrick as he entered his room and sat on a chair next to where Rubia was lied. *“Hahn… Please wake up.”Currently –Rubia's Pov -Hmm... Feels warm."Huh...? Warm...!? What the hell am I thinking this early in the morning...!!" said Rubia wit
Previously –"A sickness...!? Ha-ha. Oh...! Forgive me your highness but I think what you have isn't a disease but a feeling of Love...!""Huh...?"When she thinks of all the time, she spent with Fredrick for the past she immediately turns red as she is faced with the truth."Thanks Sid. But could you give me some time to myself...?"Currently –After going through her thoughts Rubia decides to think about everything later because she didn’t want to disappoint Linda who was looking forward to visiting the town with Rubia and Fredrick. *Rubia enters the carriage in which Fredrick and Linda sit across each other... She sits next to Linda facing Fredrick. *Rubia's Pov –Hah. It's best to not let my feelings get the better of me... Plus it's the first time Linda wished to go somewhere... I can't let her down because of my personal reasons..."Rubia are you alrigh
Previously –The woman approaches the carriage to show her gratitude before she leaves. *Rubia's Pov –Huh...? This woman… she has the same pink hair and bright yellow eyes as the female lead... It couldn't be her right...? Why do I feel like my heart is being torn apart right now...?“What is the expression on his face now that his Lover is before him...!?” thought Rubia as she turned towards Fredrick.Currently –Rubia's Pov -Hahn. I need to calm down. I need to think rationally but just thinking about what his reaction will be once he meets the love of his life... I hate this... I wonder why though...?It would be best if they were together but I…don't even know anything anymore...!"Thank you for helping me Your Highness." said the woman as she bowed"Hmm... Alright." said Fredrick after glancing at her&
