It has been a few weeks since their wedding trip to Moorgis and that disastrous dinner with her sisters and their husbands. Becca was humming softly as the twilight just entered the sky. The indigo sky indicated that their nightlife will be starting as Niklaus has to leave to be at the Stone Tower, leaving Becca to spend her time in their estate's library. Becca has picked up another reading that she found in the massive library as the tomes were worn out and the spines have been cracked since the start of their lifetime.
"Milady, there is someone to see you. Are you willing to see her?" the old butler said as Becca turned her head from the pages that she was immersed in the new tome that she was reading. She closed the book before smiling at the butler as she was standing up from the divan that she was sitting in the library.
"Who was it?" she asked him as she was putting the tome on the table that was situated at the end of the divan. The
Everyone believed that Niapachad Island was an island located on the west side of Crete Island in the Aegean Sea. However, no one survived to tell the truth of that belief. Some said that it was concealed in a powerful veil that was invisible to the naked eyes and any human from modern society cannot come to the island. Others believed that there was an entry point on Crete Island that can transport you to Niapachad Island, wherever it was located. Some claimed that there were other entry points around the world but that was up for discussion in the scientific community of the modern world.But one thing was for sure, Niapachad Island was a secret in the modern world that the scientist wished to uncover but it remained a mystery to this moment.Niapachad Island was a country that conserved the history that surpassed time and century. The country was ruled by monarchs and the gentry was still in the system of social hierarchy. It was believed
Lady Emily Moore, who was known as Emily by her friends or Emmy by Lady Rebecca Davis, was looking outside the traveling carriage that she was taking to the East route. She was breathing in the country air for a long time as the sea can be heard and it was tasted in the air. Emily could not be happier.It has been a rough year for her as her parents have been killed in a carriage accident and her brother was nowhere to be found. Emily has given up searching for her brother as she has no money or resources to do so. She can only hope that this new life that she chose will be much better than the life of a Lady in the town. She can hardly remember her time as a debutante when she would attend lavish balls and elegant parties just to catch the eye of a suitor. It was useless as she would disappear in the background whenever she could.She usually spent some time with her friend, Lady Rebecca Davis who has recently married the Duke of Belikov an
Emily was looking at the surroundings that were laid upon her when the maid was opening the master bedchamber in front of her. She gulped as she was looking at the messy bed and the papers were everywhere. "Here you go, the master bedchamber," the maid stated as she smiled before Emily was gripping the broom that she was given when she was in the servants' quarter earlier."Thank you," she said as she was looking at the bedchamber. She groaned inside."Don't forget. Be the shadows," the maid reminded her as she left Emily to her work. Emily was looking at the floor before she sighed as she was putting a pail of water with soap on the floor and she was looking at the dusty floor."Time to get busy then," she said as she was taking a brush and she was washing the floor. She was humming a happy song that she knew would lift her spirit before she did not notice that she was being watched from afar. Emily felt the tingling in
Ian was looking at the royal couple as Arabella was smiling before Aiden was clearing his throat. "So, how was the search for your bride has been going?" Aiden asked Ian as he was snapping to the reality before the servants of his household were coming into the dining hall. One of them was the blondie. Ian was blinking his eyes before he turned to look at the prince consort again. Aiden was looking at Ian before Arabella was smirking at him. The marquis narrowed his eyes at the royal couple."It has been going well. I even got an invitation to a ball,'' he stated as the young queen was nodding at him."And will you be attending the ball, Ian?" Arabella asked before she was sipping on her wine. It was blood-laced because of the Porphyria that they had when they were younger. Now, they were changed people; Ian, Arabella, and Aiden. Except Aiden has a different story about his change. Arabella and Ian were both infected by birth but Aiden was i
Ian was sipping on the railway before he was looking at the front door where the guests have arrived. He was one of the Higher Court that made it on time, which meant that he was early than the others. Arabella was happy to see him before she went to greet the other guests. He was sipping on the wine and he was happy to be out of that young queen's radar for the rest of the night."I see that you have been here for quite some time," greeted the Viscount of Vyckos, Daniel Cutler as he was smirking at Ian before the marquis was scoffing at another best friend of his. There were five of them, including him among the group. The viscount smiled before he was looking at the guests that came to the ball tonight.It was a masquerade ball after all.Ian has not put on his mask yet as he was trying to not roll his eyes at the viscount. I know that after this, it would be your turn, dumbass, Ian mused before he was smirking as he w
Ian was looking at the mask that Emmy left behind before Arabella was sighing behind him. He turned to glare at the young queen before she was smirking at him. "Ah, the masquerade ball. The secret, the mask, and the elegant gown," the young queen said before her eyes were twinkling with mischief. "Not to mention, the forbidden kiss," she said as Aiden was chuckling behind her.Ian was looking at the royal couple before he got the sense of what was going on around him. How can I be so stupid? he mused before he was gripping the mask even tighter. "What are you planning, Your Majesty?" Ian asked Arabella who was arching her eyebrows at him. She gasped before she was putting her hand on her chest."Marquis of Kain, I don't know what are you talking about," she said as Ian was rolling his eyes at the young queen. Surely, all of this was her plan. The ball, the masquerade, and the invitation. Ian thought that Emily was a maid that worked for him.
Arabella was sipping on her blood-laced tea before a knock interrupted her. She glanced over her shoulder and it was her butler that was coming to give her a letter. Arabella was putting the cup down before she was opening the seal of the letter. She was reading the letter before she smirked. It seems that my plan worked, after all, she mused as she was folding the letter before her husband was coming into the study room that Arabella loved to spend her time in there."I see that you have a pleasant mood today, my love. Is there something that you wanted to share with me?" Aiden asked his wife before Arabella was smirking at him."Well, why don't you look at this?" She said before Aiden was taking the letter from her hand. Aiden read the content before he was shaking his head. He turned to look at his wicked wife as Arabella was sipping on her blood-laced tea. Everything has to be blood-laced for these aristocrats."One
"I cannot believe that you will be married after two months of me getting married," Lady Rebecca Dragomir, the 8th Duchess of Belikov, was smiling as she was looking at the new Marchioness of Kain, Lady Emily Hassildor. Emily was smiling weakly at her best friend as Becca was smiling happily at Emily's union with Ian. If only she knew what I was bargaining with the marquis, Emily mused before she was looking at her husband who was talking with Becca's husband, Niklaus Dragomir, the 8th Duke of Belikov."So, do you want to tell me how he proposed?" Becca asked Emily before she sighed. He didn't, she mused before Emily was smiling at her best friend. Becca was waiting for her answer."Well, we sort of met at a ball," she started as Becca was nodding at her."Yes, and then?" She asked before Emily was feeling that her face was hot, remembering the details that happened in the garden before the young queen caught them in an
