Panting to breathe and covered with blood, the king rushed to the palace after the expedition. "Get me a new set of clothes. I can't let the queen see me in this horrifying state," says Viishaun as he removes his bloody cape and hands it over to one of the servants."Y-Your excellency, I'm afraid to inform you, but madam is nowhere to be found.""What do you mean?!""We have searched the entire palace and every building, but none of us saw the queen."Viishaun has forsaken the thought of cleansing his body and focused on finding his wife. He kept looking for Aileen, but there was no trace of her. He heard a voice calling him. Hence Viishaun followed it until he arrived at a forest and found the lady with moonstone eyes glowing, but what caught his attention was the blood flowing from the queen's stomach."I love you, Viishaun. Farewell, my love. I will cherish the moment I spent with you even if we no longer share the same world," says the queen as she coughed blood. Then her body f

"Huh?" The queen asked in doubt of Viishaun's statement.The king crossed his arms and raised one of his eyebrows, "What's with that reaction?""Could you repeat it? Had my ears played a trick on me? Do you really think she would accept me as her daughter-in-law?""I may have no idea what my mother is truly like, but I believe she's a person who does not judge a person. Butler Arthur and my lad-in-waiting, his wife who used to work with my mother before always talk about what kind of person she is. Judging from the qualities they said the royal consort possessed, she prefers a simple, innocent, and domesticated woman like you.""What? Am I an animal? Tsk! You're so annoying."The king smirked and hid his sly smile while looking at the grumpy look on his wife. "Anyway, what brings you here, grumpy cat?""I decided to roam around since a certain someone locked me in the palace," she replied, still giving a grumpy expression. "How about you? What brings you here?" she added.The king loo

Although, Aileen managed to hide from the public when she attended twice of her husband's birthday celebrations held in the private palace of the empire with only the royal family, a few aristocrats, and a noble family as guests. Also, during those times, she was in 'illness' mode. Thus the guest did not look for her. She doubted it would be possible this time. It would be impossible to avoid such important events because few aristocrats had known she was not ill anymore. Besides, the party this time will be held in the imperial palace as the emperor's wish.Unlike other noble ladies, the queen need not go to extensive training for her psychic and etiquette since her ladyship had a dignified posture, which she earned from her modeling car back in her original world. The problem arises with her vulgar mouth and way of wearing clothes because she kept going against the standard of 'respectable clothes' for a lady. "Madam, are you truly going to wear this gown?" says Athena while holdin

"Aileen, why are you still lazily lying on your bed?" says a voice that Aileen is familiar with, but she thought it's impossible unless..."Why am I here?""What do you mean?""Honey, I thought you were getting ready. Have you forgotten?""Huh?" Aileen asked, still confused. She glanced around the room and found a modern-style landscape of houses."We're supposed to go to the church to schedule our daughter's baptism."Suddenly, Aileen felt her heart couldn't function well. She finds it hard to breathe..."What's wrong? Wake up!" She could hear a voice, but it was barely getting on her senses. Aileen fought hard, and as soon as she recognized Viishaun's voice, she abruptly opened her eyes.She looked around and sighed upon realizing everything was a dream. Viishaun shook her shoulder and yelled, "What the hell? Why does your heart stop beating for a split second? You scared the hell out of me."Aileen clenched her clothes next to her chest and asked, "How is that possible? You probabl

The queen returned to the chamber and found an empty bed. She thought that the king might be in his office, or maybe he found his action irrational, and now he's reflecting on it.Suddenly, Aileen felt like exploding again. "Holy crap, why do I have to be flustered over that kiss? We've gone far from just a kiss, so why am I acting like this?... Why is my heart beating fast for the real personality of the king?"She bit the pillow and shoveled her face on it. She laid flat on the bed, and glued her eyes to the stuffed toy, then slowly fell asleep.************The queen woke up and was still exhausted. She caressed the bed and noticed that Viishaun's space was neat as if no one occupied it. She jumped off the bed and covered her thin nightgown with a royal maroon robe. On her way to the hot spring, she bumped into Viishaun."G-Good morning, Viishaun. I'm heading to a hot spring to relax my body. Where are you heading to?" Aileen asked to ease the awkwardness crawling between them.A
