Florian was slightly surprised when Darius suddenly stopped in front of a row of three elevators. Since entering the building, the two had not encountered anyone. “Why does it feel like we’re the only ones in this place?” Florian asked as if speaking to himself. Silence settled between them again as Darius reached out his finger and placed it on a fingerprint scanner. A soft beeping sound confirmed his authorization to enter and a moment later the silver doors to the elevator opened. Florian narrowed his eyes slightly but did not make a comment when the elevator descended, taking them down to the floors below ground. The ride in the elevator was short and filled with silence as the two men seemed wrapped up in their own thoughts. “I should have figured that Leo wouldn’t be here to check up on any work progress…” Florian mumbled softly to himself just when the doors of the elevator slid opened. Once again, Darius did not bother to reply to his brother as he walked out of the elevat

The extremely saddened look that fogged up the hope shining in her eyes when he told her his answer came back to him too clearly than he would have preferred. “Your little sister is desperately searching for you so if you’re ever going to wake up, this might be a great time to do so…” he whispered as he kept his eyes on Roxanna’s sleeping face. Roxanna showed no signs of waking up or acknowledging any of the prince’s words. Darius let out a soft sigh before averting his gaze from her face. Staring at her too much only reminded him of the woman who counted herself as her younger sister. “Your little sister is very bold…and brave…” Darius said before his lips curved into a grin. He could still hear Asana’s voice as she described the appearance of the sister that she had been searching for. Unfortunately for her, the current situation barred her from ever seeing her sister ever again. Darius’s eyes turned cold and emotionless when he reminded himself of the secrets that must be kept

“I-I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…” I apologized immediately when I snapped out of my own thoughts. I bowed repeatedly as I continued to apologize for my mistakes. It wasn’t the first time that my troubled thoughts had distracted me from my dance lessons, but it made me realize that the condition of my mind was getting worse. The fun and engaging dance lesson that I had with the Duchess Flavia may not be sufficient to keep my mind from thinking of the prince any longer. “I don’t want you to apologize, I want you to focus. Let’s take a break. You should drink some water, come over here,” she said as she waved me toward her. “Thank you…” I thanked her to stop myself from apologizing again. I felt so guilty about my attention straying right in the middle of class. The duchess had been nothing but kind and helpful to me and that made me feel disappointed in myself for treating her lesson like it wasn’t important. She led me to a bench where we could sit to take our rest and drink water. “You

“You’ve mated with him more than once before, right? Who knows? You may already be pregnant…” the duchess said and for a moment she looked genuinely excited. “I don’t think that is the case…” I replied softly. “Hmm? How can you be so sure?” she asked with widened eyes. “Well…” I murmured when I remembered the prince’s warning.Despite his warnings, I didn’t think that I could talk to anyone about how we went about our intimate duties. It was just too embarrassing for me to voice out loud and that was precisely why I struggled to answer the duchess’s question. Just as I was about to apologize to her for my inability to give her an answer, the sound of her clapping her hand together echoed in the dance studio. “Wow, I have to say that this is more than a little unexpected. I guess the rumors that I’ve heard about Prince Leonard not wanting to become the next king might be true after all…” she said before she smiled again at me. I wasn’t sure what the prince truly wanted for his fut

Although I didn’t quite understand the meaning of her words, once again I couldn’t see the downside to the deal that she was offering. She could tell me the information that I so badly wanted to know and in exchange, I’ll follow her instructions. When the time came for me to follow her instructions, I could refuse if it went against my will. “Let me ask you again, Mila. Do we have a deal?” she asked again. “Yes…we do…” I replied after a brief moment of thought. “You’re a very smart girl. I wouldn’t mind helping you…” she said before she smiled brightly. It felt like flowers would bloom in the presence of her bright smile and the warmth of her voice as she giggled. “Please tell me what Prince Leonard has been up to…” I demanded immediately. I couldn’t help but feel impatient. It was true that I wanted desperately to see him; however, I was also worried about him. It wasn’t like him not to turn up to our lessons without reaching out to me. Then there was the matter of that woman t
