No Longer Your Puppet, Duke I Found You
Lancaster finally emerged from behind the thinning curtain of snow.The rooftops of the townspeople's houses peeked out from the distance, looking like a promise that was on the verge of being fulfilled.Kaelus pulled the reins of his horse right at the town gates, immediately deploying his forces in several directions at once."Check every single inn along the main road," he commanded the captain, his tone sharp and unwavering.The knights under his command scattered at once. The thundering hooves of their horses shattered the silence of the quiet streets, which had grown deserted due to the raging blizzard.Before ten minutes had even passed, one of the knights came dashing back, completely out of breath.
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Piercing Through the Blizzard
The silence felt like a blade held directly against Cedric’s neck. He stared at Kaelus for a long time, searching for a single flicker of doubt on that flat face.However, all he found was the chilling aura of someone who had long since carried the truth. Or more accurately, someone who refused to let that truth fuel a self-destructive hatred."Who told you?" Cedric’s voice finally trembled, coming out softer than he intended."That doesn't matter.""I thought the late Emperor had wiped out all of your father's loyalists. Even the records detailing the traits of the true imperial bloodline were burned.""A crime always leaves a trace, Cedric."The gold-eyed man fell si
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Imperial Bloodline
Cedric stood by the grand window of the main hall, staring out at the blanket of snow beginning to whiten the palace courtyard."The Duke should be far away by now, right?" he asked his secretary."Yes, Your Majesty. Thanks to your generous assistance, the Duke should be crossing the sea by now. It might be wise to stop detaining Grand Duke Valthorne, Your Majesty. He has been causing a massive stir since yesterday.""Tell our guest to come see me."The secretary bowed low, then turned and strode out of the hall. He walked briskly to meet Kaelus.The moment the heavy doors swung open, a terrifying glare from crimson eyes welcomed him.The middle-aged man, who was usually so
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Kill Me with Your Hatred
Within Derrick’s completely broken mind, there was no sight more breathtaking than looking at Roselyn lying submissively upon the bed.His delusional psyche truly believed that forcing a paralyzing drug down his beloved's throat wasn't an act of coercion, but rather a manifestation of pure love.As long as they were together, the man had absolutely no issue with carrying Roselyn wherever they needed to go."Are you awake, Rose?"The soft whisper brushed against Roselyn’s temple, followed by the warm touch of his fingers gently combing through her loose hair with the utmost care.Roselyn opened her eyes slowly. Before her, Derrick was already kneeling at the edge of the bed. He reached for a cup containing tea laced with the sedative, blowing on it gently before offering it to the Vogard princess."The snow is getting heavier outside," Derrick said, a soft smile gracing his lips. "Drink a little of this, alright? Your headac
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Hidden Fox
The thundering hooves of the Valthorne and Odiley forces ground to an abrupt halt at a major crossroads, exactly half a day's ride after leaving the Capital gates.Standing directly in their path, a small detachment bearing the golden eagle crest blocked the road like a wall of shields."Grand Duke Valthorne." The leader of the detachment—an Imperial Marshal draped in a deep crimson cloak—offered a formal nod, not making the slightest move to dismount.His gaze carried a condescending look, typical of a watchdog acting grand simply because he carried the ruler's decree. "His Imperial Majesty commands you to return to the palace immediately.""I don't have time for this.""Forgive me, Grand Duke, but this isn
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Footprints in the First Snow
The first snow of the season began to blanket Lancaster just as Derrick’s carriage was getting ready to push toward Raipherze.Roselyn watched the scene unfold through a tiny parting in the curtains. Delicate white flakes drifted lazily from the sky, dusting the cobblestone road they were traveling on."The snow always hits this place earlier than the Capital," Derrick murmured, gently adjusting the hood of Roselyn’s cloak to keep the chill away. "My mother used to say the first snow is a good omen. A clean slate."Roselyn didn't say a word. The lingering numbness from the afternoon's drug still had her tongue tied. She could only stare blankly at every passing landmark she caught a glimpse of, desperately tracing a mental map for an escape route in her mind."How... much longer until we arrive at Raipherze?" Her voice came out clearer than she expected, catching her off guard.Derrick snapped his head around, pulling her a little closer into his embrace. "You're finally talking to m
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Unquenchable Fire
The moon had reached its zenith in the highest crest of the sky, yet the King of Odiley remained wide awake.He lounged carelessly in his seat with his legs propped up on the table. A chalice of wine was cradled in one
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke I Who Love You Within the Wounds
“Get lost, you bastard!”Roselyn kicked Derrick straight between his legs. She delivered it with such force that the man collapsed onto the floor beneath the bed.
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke A Man Unleashed
“I will make you love me again, Rose.”Derrick pinned his hand against Roselyn’s neck, forcing her to look into his blue eyes. There was no longer any pretense of the polite gentleman from her first li
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Twilight Between Us
The chamber door swung open without a prior knock. Yet, Roselyn didn't even need to turn around to know exactly who stood at the threshold.Kaelus Valthorne—the very man who had once flatly rejected the idea of a
