30: First prince's wedding
"Madam, you look beautiful. I bet the king will fall head over heels with you again," says Athena while clapping her hands and adoring the queen. Aileen blinked her eyes and stared at the figure of a woman wearing a pink gown, accompanied by a white-pink slashed cap sequined with white and pink crystals. The queen smiled and replied, "It depends." 'It depends... if he's Shaun. Then he'll surely love the way I look right now. However, if he's in his usual self, he'll simply shrug his shoulders. That guy doesn't have a sense of appreciation,' says the voice inside Aileen's head. "What do you mean, madam?" Aileen failed to answer the maid when an interruption occurred. "What's taking you lo—" The king barged in unannounced but almost dropped his jaw. He used to see his wife with average attire, still beautiful, but today she looks like an expensive statue. "Shaun? Do I look weird?" Aileen asked, caressing the crown in her head. She felt awkward wearing the heavy crown made of pur

31:Queen’s duty.
"Your excellency, the queen had received a pile of invitations. What should we do about the envelopes?" the secretary asked."Burn them all and tell them the queen is busy with the kingdom's financial affair."He was busy checking the tax and security reports in his jurisdiction, but he lost focus after the secretary brought up the queen. He slapped the desk and stood up, which made the secretary jump in surprise."Y-Your excellency, is something bothering you?""Uhm... the queen, where is she right now?"Viishaun left his office and did not wait for the reply of his secretary. He bumped into the maid who was always with his wife. So he asked, "Where's your madam?"The maid bowed her head and replied, "Your excellency, the madam has been in the library since this morning."The king headed to the library and stood next to the threshold. He crossed his arms and uttered no word, but his head was stuffed with thoughts... 'What's keeping her busy all day? Moreover, Why am I here? What's

32: Nuisance
"What's with that shabby clothes again? You're the queen of this kingdom, so you should start acting like one. Spend at least 500 gold coins every month." "Pardon?!" Aileen asked. "What's so shocking about spending your monthly allowance?" The king crossed his arms and stood impatiently. "Should I be spending other people's taxes? This is way worse than the corruption in my world," Aileen asked, hesitating to obey the King's order. It does not feel right for her to spend other people's hard-earned money. "This is how this world works. We, royal families, have privilege, and responsibilities go hand in hand. And if such privilege can't be trusted with you. Then, you have no right to such responsibilities," Viishaun replied. "I don't understand why spending money is a responsibility." Aileen scratched her jaw and tried to make sense. "You have dignity and image to impose. Are you telling me to let the queen of this kingdom wear shabby clothes and poor accessories? Do you want th

33: Full moon and love.
The queen stared at the garden as she passed and stood on the vanguard tower. Then, Aileen had remembered the leaf on her hair. She sighed and muttered to herself, "I shouldn't have listened to that book." The rationale why she went to the garden that day was to get a butterfly as part of the preparation for casting a spell. According to the book, she has to burn red petals of rose and Butterfly's antennae. At first, it's too cruel to do that to an insect, but despite her conscience bugging her not to waste the creature's antennae, she still proceeded, following the book's mandates. 'If it wasn't for that leaf. I wouldn't have mistaken Viishaun from Shaun,' is what her mind jogging circles as she makes her way to her office. "Madam, are you going to start working now?" says Athena, who Aileen had bumped into. "Yes. I will start reading what I should do in my office." "Don't worry, madam. The king will bring in a lady-in-waiting/finance adviser to work as your alter ego, so you do

34: It's just a hair.
~knock~ knock~ "Madam, I brought you a cup of tea. May I come in?" "Sure. Come in," Aileen replied. "Hmm... Athena, when will be the new moon? Also, is there any lake nearby?" "Full moon? Lake?" Athena looked at the queen, wearing a perplexed reaction. "Well, I want to watch the moon in the middle of a lake." "That is so romantic, madam. Are you going to watch the moon with his excellency?" says Athena as she pours a drink for the queen. "N-no. I want alone time," the queen replied as she sipped from the teacup. "By the way, please finish this snack and my drink. I need to see the king," she added. The maid left and Aileen grabbed the opportunity to hide the book, then locked her office as she left. "It's not like I can leave without his permission," she murmured while making her way to the office of the king. All of a sudden, she bumped into a tall guy. "Madam, I'm sorry! Please don't be mad." The queen thought that the secretary must have a hard time dealing with the king'

35: A risky call for love.
At first, it wasn't his intention. Viishaun did not mean to cut his wife's hair like that, but it was the method he could think of to ensure she was all right.However, the problem began when the queen got too close to him. His mind went blank as soon as he had her delicate frame against his body and her sweet soft touch indirectly caressing his heart. Every single thing about the queen had driven him wild. It made him fail to think straight. The king didn't want to be enslaved to such alien feelings any longer, so he cut her hair without thinking it was already too late to realize what he had done. He could have just cut off his button or taken off his coat... but the damage had been done.After she shouted in repulsiveness, his vision went white with the sudden flashing of light. It was similar to the wide range of various times when he'd fall under the idiotic spell. But... nothing occurred. No 'Shaun' seemed to quiet her down with his cringy tooth-rotting lines.He thought it mi

36: Saving the queen.
The king is uncomfortable. He kept checking the analog clock from the tower. "I believe I have done my duty. I need to go back to my castle, so if you excuse me, King Vernon," says Viishaun as he jumps into his stallion. *Vernon was the king from the southern border and nephew of the empress.* "Take this as my utmost appreciation for helping me with the crusade on one of my provinces. Also, please send my apology to the queen for disturbing your peaceful night." Vernon handed a box that had a ruby brooch for Viishaun and a pair of ruby hair ornaments for the queen. The king nodded and rampaged his way, to immediately return to his castle. When he arrived, the first thing he asked was, "Had the queen returned?" One of the maids and secretary replied in chorus, "No, your excellency." "Did she bring marquise with her?" Viishaun asked. He knew that his wife could be hard-headed. There was a time when Aileen went somewhere without bringing the marquise and her maid. "Yes, your excelle

37: Speechless
They were silent until they arrived at the palace. The king lifted her to their bed-chamber, and Aileen could not protest. She kept sneezing while gripping tight on the coat her husband used to cover her."Get the queen a new set of clothes and call the medic team right away."The maids and marquises rushed to do their job. Athena boiled hot water for the queen and King's bathtub."Is everything ready?" The king asked."Yes, your excellency. The hot tub is prepared. You may soak in the water.""Leave. I need alone time with the queen."Everyone left, leaving the king and queen alone in a huge tub fragmented with petals of white roses. "W-wait! Are you soaking in the tub with me?" The queen crossed her arms to protect her clothes.Viishaun removed his top and replied, "And what about it? Also, what's with that virgin-like reaction? Why are you covering yourself when we had shared a night in bed a lot.""I-It's Shaun who saw my everything. I believe we should not share a bath, your exc

38: What was that for?
The queen's heartbeat bombarded her sense of hearing. Aileen doesn't know how to react to the situation the king put her in. So, she said, "Y-your excellency, your skin is rubbing against mine." "Silence. You should know that something like this will happen since you wished to get my attention." He looked at the moon, and it was still full and brilliant. Viishaun felt like there was an unfavorable inclination wrapping his heart, like a homicide of crows spiraling wildly across a ruined sky. The king knew that if he kept the queen near him, she'd shake the very core of him. Suddenly, the queen was radiating again. Viishaun closed his eyes and realized the magic was occurring again. He watched himself hide behind his personality of Shaun. "My love, you're beautiful as a moon in the sky." The queen lifted her gaze and was surprised to see Shaun. She didn't mind their bodies sticking close to each other. Her breast had pressed against his chest as she wrapped her arms around his neck

39: Call me Viishaun
The queen was back from her role and function as an internal lady of financial allocation. "What the f*ck is this crap? It is much harder than memorizing a script and acting in front of the camera," says Aileen while looking at the mountains of papers flat on her desk. Aileen couldn't take her eyes from the papers, even though the master-appointed financial advisor had cleared his throat to call the queen's attention."Ahem~ Madam, I've been honored to assist you again after your two days recovery phase from your fever. I have arranged the files according to their necessities to decide."The queen smiled and replied, "I see. Thank you." However, she's dying from exhaustion already, even before she starts working on the papers."This one is the statement for the taxes of provinces of the kingdom submitted by Dutchery. Over there is the expenditure of the kingdom for this month. Madam, the king wanted you to be familiar with all of these papers by the end of the week.""Pardon?""Mad
