"Your Excellency, are you nervous?" Butler Fred lowly asks, making the silent atmosphere livelier.Those pair gray eyes stare daggers at him as he furrows his brows to Butler Ferd.
"I don't have to be nervous in front of her. She's just my mate and nothing more, nothing less."
He spits those words to his Butler without knowing the weight of it.
On the Butler's ears, it is clear to him that he doesn't mind about the mate bond he had for Lady Ruby because for all he knows that Archduke Ridge placed his heart on Lady Genesis.
'Was his love for Lady Genesis stronger than his mate bind with Lady Ruby?' The Butler wonders inside his mind, making the Archduke observes his obvious thinking gestures, expressions.
"Your painted scowling face is quite making me uncomfortable. What's in your mind, Ferd?" Ridge asks as he slides his hand on the couch to hang it freely.
"N-othing, You

Then, the Lady gasp, making her mouth gape widely. Ridge immediately slides his tongue inside of her mouth. Then his tongue explores every corner inside while he perceives the Lady's hands on his waist. Their shared kiss tastes like bliss to them. Their saliva mixes and thickens as they continue crashing their lips.Thereupon, Archduke grunts in pure pleasure. His mate bond drives his sexual desire to be on fire so as his heart hammers into his chest.On the other hand, Lady Ruby is not used to this kind of intimacy as her pace couldn't match her mate. His hungry tongue shouted dominance. So, she surrenders herself to him, hastily granting Ridge all the privilege he could get from her lips. However, she thinks like she is kissing Archduk

Genesis couldn't help but wonder about Lady Paisley's oddness."We need your help. Lady Iris is safe somewhere in the woods. You don't have to worry about Lady Iris. She is guarded by an annoying yet reliable physician." Lady Paisley hisses while telling Lady Genesis the fact."I trust in you, Lady Paisley. So, what's this plan you are talking about?" Lady Genesis diverts the conversation back to the topic she's interested in, showing an intense curiosity in her eyes.Lady Paisley takes a deep breath, and she vigorously nods, "we need to clear things about Prince Alphonso's issue. We know that the 'Iris' people were talking about was the psycho bitch. It wasn't the real Iris. We gotta do something to help."Her voice cracks up like her throat tightens to spit those words out, showing her utmost care for the lost Prince.Lady Gene

The man couldn't take the blow of how Lady Iris managed to keep her sane under the fake Iris's traumatizing hands."I am very sorry to hear that, Lady Iris." The man gives a pity expression, matching his pessimistic tone. He doesn't know what to say anymore since he knows that his words will never penetrate, shove her horrifying experience."Everything happens for a reason, I suppose." Lady Iris retorts with a weak smile, but a reassuring touch on her shoulder relaxed Lady Iris's emotions."However, that dumbass Minister will be back in two days. I wonder what he was trying to do. He was accompanied by the two Persley Ladies." He scowls while getting a headache to his phrases."For now, let's focus on what we can do. First, we've got to find Alphonso at all cost." Genesis says in a determined face as her eyes glimmers

There are no words for him to assert.Typically, everyone in the Raphbarg Kingdom and other Kingdoms knows the chase is a game for the man to go after the woman they wish to spend a lifetime. In other words, it is a form of affection--- commitment.His eyeballs bulge, getting flabbergasted while the Lady started to distance away from him.The tapping of her shoe heels on the ground echoes in the niche while her fingers sway delicately in the invisible space.'Why is she initiating this game?' Is she oblivious to the concept of this game?' Dereck's mind floats, standing rigid like a stone. He feels his legs won't work."What's wrong, Dereck? Come on, or else we won't go back to the house," Lady Paisley playfully shouts, wearing a smug expression as she waves her right arm in his dire

Its golden line stretches ever into the whitish-baby blue skies.The brilliant flowers on the garden radiate beauty under it.In the middle of the sunrise, his eyes flutter as he tries to open it.He groans, sitting on his bed while rubbing his sleepy eyes. He couldn't help but yawn and stretch his body.Gazing into the sun in the sky, he sheepishly said, "it's already another day."Shoving the blankets around his body, he gets up and peeks on the window.Astonishingly, his orbs darts to the people who are soaked in sweat and panting hard.All of his attention was on the Lady with emerald eyes.'Why are they there? Are they planning to sneak out early in the morning? Or did they arrived now?' He thought while putting a hand on his chin as support.He continues to ob

Ridge feels his blood surging in wrath, clenching his hands together.All eyes dart at the Head Minister.Head Minister Franco is stunned to speak a word, and he feels the tension in the area. The other Ministers look at him in reliance.A sweat drop from his forehead as he tries to gain some courage."Y-You Excellency," He shutters as his throat tightens, making Archduke Ridge groans in discontentment."W-We asked for your presence in the Palace to select you as the heir of the throne." He confesses in front of Ridge.The Archduke rolls his eyes and shrugs."Tsk! That's why you urgently called me. Well, I refuse," Archduke Ridge retorts as he crinkles his nose."Let's get out of here. I don't wanna be here," Princess Corine whispers to her Knight's ear, using the tension as an opportunity to escape from the scen

The foreign man did not yet say a word, making anyone anxious for an unknown reason.'He is kinda fishy,' The Head Minister thought.Moreover, the air becomes thicker and heavier to breathe in and out.The man's leaking spectral aura in his body makes everyone quiet, observing him. It's like testing the waters of which sides will react first."Hm? Why is everyone shutting down? That's weird," His voice seems is too good to be true. He looks around and scans their sweaty faces.They all get goosebumps to hear his gentle yet oppressing tone except Archduke Ridge.Meanwhile---'I hope King Hedery will wake up, Minister Kingsley. You can always rely on me as King Hedery's friend. And again, don't tell anyone that Grand Duke Kristofer is a sniffer. It's our Kingdom's legacy and weapon. Grand Duke's wolf is specia

So, will you mind sharing it?"Doctor William's orbs large, and his mouth gape in surprise that the Grand Duke took an interest in his plan.The royal doctor seems to be processing his thoughts in his brain, and he shrugs.His mouth puckered, "you know the Minister told me to keep it for myself."The Grand Duke snaps back at him with a side smirk, "well, he isn't here. So, what's the problem? Let's hear it."Couldn't hold himself back from telling the Grand Duke, doctor William states, "one of the Ladies speculates Prince Alphonso might be in the Hangey Kingdom."Grand Duke Kristofer is mind blown as he thinks t
