Time flies so quickly that the three-days timeframe passed by without Audrey even noticing. But if the truth would be told, she was the only one that was not exactly bothered or in any bit concern at all about the upcoming event, the rest, however, was at their wit's end. The past three days have been very hectic for the whole Ning clan in general, but the other clans were no different. They all wanted to outdo each other; aiming to be the best of the best.Due to the compelling reward offered by the clan head, many of his clan members took the task of finding the best gift seriously. They presented all the most precious and valuable treasures that they had at their disposal, wishing that it would catch the eyes of their clan head."I really hope that clan head can consider taking this gift that I prepared", said one of the clan disciples as they gathered around the main hall."You wish!"Another one replied with a

The much-awaited 18th name day of the youngest prince came shortly. Exactly after three days ever since the emperor started sending invitations to every clan, they started riding their way to the palace. On the Lee Clan residence, a certain little girl was secretly eyeing the carriages lining their courtyard. " I wonder how crazy these people could be??! Who in their right mind would think of using gemstones as an ornament?!!!"Audrey asked out loud with her eyes wide in disbelief as she stared fixated at one of the blue gemstones deeply engraved into one of the carriages. "Haaaayyy... If I could just take home even just one sapphire as big as this one, it would be enough to give me a life of fortune" she sighed as she touched the sapphire attached to the carriage's door longingly. [Quit that looked you, silly girl, you looked like you were about to kiss that stone. ] "Hmph! Good for

It was a cozy afternoon and the sun has a tinge of orange already. A clear indication that the day was about to end, soon to approach dusk. Niccoli was sitting leisurely under the shade of a peach tree. He was busy nibbling the grass blade that he had on his mouth. "Meeeoooww..."The cat drawled and this managed to cut through Niccoli's  line of thought so he was pulledout from his trance. As soon as the guy was back to his senses he patted the long-haired cat on  its head before caressing its fur. Right after that, he looked back to the clear sky above them. "Not yet Monami, give me more time," he said with a carefree smile on his beautiful face. "Meow?????" the little cat seems confused for her master's reaction as she tilted her head and urge her master to scratch her more. Niccoli looked at her attention-seeking spiritual beast. He lifted it next to h

 While Audrey was busy looking for her missing cat, the culprit was actually squatting on the ground as if spying with someone. He was carefully eyeing the little white cat that was standing alone in the middle of the grass fields. She was facing the ground and was busy sniffing as if trying to look for something. "I never thought that I would still be able to see another living ancient cat on this world as well?" Nero whispered under his breath. It was a very cute white little cat. Its eyes have two colors, the left one has the color of the amethyst while the right one has the same color as the sky on a fair-weather day. It has a long, silky, inched-long fur. White as the moon's reflection on a tranquil lake. Nero slowly went out in his hiding. When the other cat saw him, it was stunned for a while as it stared back at him. They started the staring contest. After a

"What do you think you are doing?!!!" Audrey ran towards Nero who happened to be trapped. Words were not enough to explain how furious she felt at that time when she saw the cat being bullied like that before her eyes. Just a while ago, she felt a sudden burst of emotion coming from the link between her and Nero. Using the mental link that she shared with Nero, she tried to track the cat. Who knows that right after finding where he was, she will witness someone bullying Nero.   On the contrary, when Niccoli heard that voice, his heart started to beat so fast. Then his eyes unknowingly focused on the most beautiful lady he could ever remember seeing in his life. Her long brown wavy hair framed her small face. Her luscious cherry lips were set in a straight line showing a livid expression. Yet even her face was as dark as the stormy night, it does not make her even less attractive. For the first time in his life, Niccoli felt lost. He just stared back at t
