Moreover, the driver bows to greet them.Instantly, the two Knights protect the Ladies with an umbrella while the Minister covers his face with his hand.Helping them to get on to the carriage, another Knight opens the carriage's door and lends a hand for them to get inside.The two la

Lady Paisley mumbles annoyingly to herself, walking as she touches the tip of the large grasses.Fascinated by the landscape she sees, she ends up stopping her foot from walking further ahead. She tilts her head up and smiles as she spots the mystical presence of the moon.Anxious, she bites her lip and wonders in pure innocence, "will I have a mate, or will I end up like Prince Alphonso?"Scared by the path of fate, she ends up telling herself, "I am sorry for the sins I have committed to others, Moon Goddess. Sorry for being an imperfect follower of you. I wish to speak with Lady Ruby. We have to clear our space."Huffing, she continues to blabber, "I wish to see Prince Alphonso, and I pray for his safety."Henceforth, she gazes away from the moon, focusing on what's in front of her as she inhales deeply. Her tire

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

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

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
