Max regained his consciousness when Erella came near the bed. He was about to open his eyes to greet her but he froze because Erella said something that made him feel shy. His face turned red and his heartbeat ran widely. She said about how perfectly handsome he was and how he looked like an angel. He really wanted to cover his face but he was afraid Erella will know he was just pretending to sleep. He was not really used to someone calling him handsome or he looked like an angel. The one who was saying those things were only his family and the people in his estate. Usually, people described him as a terrifying man so they were scared of approaching him.
'Am I really handsome and do I really looked like an angel in her eyes?' Max thought. He was still not convinced of what Erella said. He felt dejected when he remembered the kids he encountered called him a scary monster.
He flinched when he felt Erella sat next to him on the bed.

Erella was really upset. It's already been two days that Max kept on avoiding her. He was not eating together with her and if she saw him watching her from afar, he will disappear immediately in her sight. They were supposed to go back to the Von Heinlein estate after the knights were feeling better but because Max kept on avoiding her, they have no choice but to stay in her home the Astley estate. She didn't want to go back to his estate feeling awkward with each other. She knew Max still felt embarrassed about that day when Audrey stabbed her in the chest. Even she was still embarrassed about it but she just swallowed her embarrassment because she knew he was just worried about her at that time. "For goodness sake! He only saw the skin under my collarbone. It is not yet the important part of my body!" Erella rolled her eyes and hardly exhaled her breath. "I am supposed to be the one who is embarrassed in that situation! Because he as m
Erella could almost see the Von Heinlein estate. So she leaned against the window of the carriage because she thought maybe she could see Aunt Camille's silhouette. She was really excited to see her. She wanted to give her right away the present she bought on one of the towns they passed when going back to the Von Heinlein duchy. " Erella, be careful you might fall on the carriage." Max cautiously told her. Then he gently grabbed her and put her back in her seat where his little friends and Flynn slept together. Erella looked at Max's face. He was beaming at her with a bright smile. Erella looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Because it was just yesterday after they made a promise that no more running away, but Max still tried to do it because he was still feeling a little awkward with her. It was her hand and look that was stopping him from running away from her. But then she noticed his attitude changed a hundred eighty degrees when they were already going b
"Father's diary?" Erella uttered. "Wait... Wait... Wait... Maybe I got it wrong, maybe it was mother's diary." Erella murmured to herself then rubbed her eyes to make sure that the name she read was not wrong. Because typically women were the ones who were writing diaries of their life in the olden days, not men. Even in her past life. After rubbing her eyes, she looked again at the name of the diary. It was still her father's name written on it in all capital letters. JAMES ROBERT ASTLEY diary. "This diary really belonged to father." Erella was amazed. "Maybe he didn't write about his life here on the diary, maybe he wrote his inheritance for Erella."She said with her eyes twinkled like gemstones. She was still hoping that the diary was all about the inheritance she gets from her father. Then she excitedly flipped the first page of the diary but once again to her dismay, the diary of E
Not long after the physician went out of his tent, James heard a bustling sound outside his tent. They were the young noble ladies who stayed in the camp. They were dying of curiosity about who he brought in his tent because they saw him coming back to the camp with someone on his arm. And they heard from the physician it was a beautiful commoner. They wanted to know what was the relationship between him and the commoner lady. James who was calmed most of the time felt annoyed by the people outside his tent. Because he didn't want his fairy to be disturbed when she was still recuperating in his tent. He stood up from the side of his fairy and went out of his tent to tell the people to keep quiet but before he could do it, he heard a groan from his fairy. He quickly returned to her side and checked her. He saw the pained expression from his fairy so he tried to comfort her by patting her shiny pale yellow hair. "It's alright. You are going to be fine."He
The next few hours on the royal hunting grounds the bad rumor about James spread like wildfire around the camp. The young ladies and young men were looking at James strangely while murmuring when he came out from his tent. At first, he was wondering why they were looking at him strangely but later he just shrugged his shoulder. He thought people were looking at him that way because he brought an injured lady into his tent. He thought they were just curious who was the person he helped. He never thought that they were already rumors about him that he was just pretending to be a virtuous man but actually he was a wolf in sheep's clothing that sexually harassed a commoner. Especially when he stayed for few hours with the two of them only in the tent. "Tsk! Pretending to be cold and distant just to get the young ladies' attention. But actually, he is a beast!" Murmured of those men who were jealous of his beauty. "I don't mind if he is a bea
The next day, James was worried to leave Kaida by herself in the camp because he knew young noble ladies in the high society will not leave her be. He was aware of what they will do to a lady with no social status, especially a lady that made them feel uncomfortable. They will bully her and ignore her so no ladies will talk to the poor lady with no social status. But he had no choice but to leave her in the camp because he could not bring her when he is hunting. Since ladies of the empire should only wait in the camp while the men are hunting. So before he left her, he told her to stay in his tent. But he knew his fairy will not stay in his tent for a couple of hours so he ordered his knight to take care of his fairy. 'I need to hunt a big animal as fast as I can so I can return to my fairy soon.' He murmured then he used his magic to detect big animals in his surroundings. It took him long to capture a big deer. When he returned to the
It's been a month since the hunting competition ended and Kaida decided to live in James's estate. At first, his father was against Kaida living in their home especially making her his fiance. But after Kaida talked to his father, his father's attitude suddenly changed three hundred eighty degrees. He had no idea why his father became really kind to Kaida. He just found it out later. Also, he was afraid that the ladies will keep on harassing Kaida because she became her fiance. But it was only his thinking because, in contrast, most of the ladies started to love her ever since they saw how strong she was battling the monsters. Especially the lady who she helped when one of the harpies took her. And the lady she helped was the young wife of the young duke, Duchess Maxeen Von Heinlein. Because of that Kaida kept on receiving invitations from different ladies but she was only going to Duchess Maxeen's invitation. Kaida was not really interested in the other ladies besides Duchess Maxee
A month after the incident with the crown prince, James and Kaida got married. It was just a simple wedding that James's relatives and only close friends got invited to. They had had a happy life together. Their happiness became doubled when Kaida became pregnant. But when Kaida was already on her second term, she felt something was amiss. Every time she was hungry, her baby was absorbing her mana. It will just stop when she felt full. But when she became seven months pregnant, the baby was absorbing her mana more. She just disregarded it because she thought that maybe it was normal for her race. But when she thought about the people in their village, she never heard the pregnant woman complain about the child absorbing mana in their womb. "Dear, are you alright?"James asked worriedly. He noticed Kaida was exhausted even though she didn't do anything. Every day, she felt exhausted. Sometimes, she could not get out of bed. He thought it was norma
