★★★“O, yes Milady. Last night we met an accident, and I fell from a tree and my leg was injured by some sharp thing. It was dark so I couldn’t see that thing,” answered Carl with a polite tone. The way he presented his words sounded so gentle and had the profound equity that any woman would admire.“So unfortunate, Prince Carl, but I haven’t seen you limping last night. Didn’t you feel your injury at the time?” Gabriel asked with the sense of why he didn’t believe this Prince who was full of childish schemes.“Yes, your grace. I think I was so preoccupied with lady Jennifer that I didn’t feel that. However, I am grateful to Ser Reth and your royal physician. They did a great job.” Prince Carl welcomed Gabriel’s sarcastic word with an open hand and gave him a fitting reply.“Forgive us, Prince Carl. I hope your leg will heal soon and you can go back to your kingdom safe and sound,” said Elsa, giving him sympathy. The incident shouldn’t happen with him, as he was the Crown Prince of Val

★★★Elsa reached the library, the only place which was quiet as per her maidservants. They did not enter, only accompanied Elsa to the door before leaving her. No one was allowed to this library except for his Excellency and the person he wanted to.Elsa looked around and found a suitable place to sit by the window. He put the book on the table, widening the half-closed curtain.She didn't get a chance to read the book she had taken long ago from Gabriel's cupboard. But when Carl mentioned reign and history, she remembered the hidden treasures of this kingdom and mostly wanted to know if it had any more information about Gabriel that he hadn't revealed.“We rise from the dark and slowly we'll consume the world.” Elsa read the top bold line on the page and saw a picture of a king named David Winston (4,000 years ago died in a battle)“Is Gabriel also Winston? Because this man will be his great-great-grandfather,” Elsa murmured. She started to read and felt the violence was hard to

★★ “No one is here to help you,” Iris’s mother grimaced voice said, and ran after Elsa, who drag her limping steps toward the door. Elsa turned her face a little when the knife again swung at her face, which she dodged by grabbing the arm of Iris’s mother. “Please,” Elsa requested, but Iris's mother didn't reduce her force as she pushed the knife more toward her face. Elsa had defended herself with the same force but felt Iris's mother was undoubtedly stronger than her with the malnourished body. But how? “I live for this day. I know His Glory would never give me justice, the justice I and my daughter deserve. Do you know why?” she screamed with tears and the pain she showed at Elsa was real. As if she did believe Elsa was the demon who killed her daughter and Gabriel would not give her justice. “Because he knows how good you are whoring with men and he doesn't want to slip this chance away. For that, he overlooked my daughter's death. But I'll not,” Iris’s mother said and pushed E

★★★ “Your highness,” each voice resonated in unison as their heads went down toward their King in respect, fear, and love. “Your Grace, my word means no offense. If I did, somehow, forgive me. I said what I felt,” Carl made his words clear. He was ready for him. If needed, he would go down the way Gabriel would wish. “I am not offended, prince. How can I? When I got to know, you are the one who saved my lady love,” Gabriel stated as he stopped in front of Carl. His eyes were cold and bloody. No one knew where Gabriel went and whose blood was all over his armor. Apart from that, everyone was a bit nervous because Gabriel didn’t sheath his sword. The bare sword in his hand wasn’t a pleasant sight. “Just a good fate. Anyone would do the same thing if they were in my place,” Carl said. “Jonathan, show prince Carl to his chamber. It’s quite late. Tonight’s event will resume in the morning court,” Gabriel raved with an intense look toward Carl that had enough depth to eat him alive. He

★★★ “Look at me,” Gabriel held her shoulder, seeing her out of the place without making a fuss all the way to the garden. He knew she was terrified about what he did in the court. Elsa’s slow gaze held up to his while he showed her a gentle face and his hand reached the back of her head, pulling her close. “It was important to kill her. Not only she had attacked you last night but also she was about to speak of your appearance. And the court is filled with predators. Don't sway with emotion, Elsa. If you want to protect your loved ones, you have to protect yourself first. I might not care about disclosing your appearance to the world... if we have married,” came off his gentle reminder. “Do you understand?” He asked. His eyes finally got to notice the emotion in her gaze and saw her nodding. “Good girl. Tell me, what would you do if a person is about to stab your parents in front of you and you have the only option to kill her,” a question stated that was based on the court session
