Prologue
Prince Evan was seated gazing afar through the window.  "And all the wealth and riches were transferred to you according to the last will of your father, Emperor William," said Stephen, his butler.  "The Emperor doesn't make any arranged marriage for you; that means you are free to choose among the noblewomen who will capture your icy stone heart." He said merrily as a cheesy line that you will often read in a cliché novel.  The room was silent until the Crown Prince spoke. "So, should I be grateful for that?" He said in a poker face while still gazing outside.   He turns his eyes to Stephen. "He transfers his problems," he said plainly, directing in a blunt point.  "Sire, I as well believe in you the same as your deceased father." He said.  "Will you stop season

Chapter 1: Lifeless
"You finally wake up" a stranger's warm smile greeted him. As he opens his eyes, he sees a young lady dressed in plain and dull clothes.   He groans in pain, forcing himself to slowly move and tries to get himself up.   "You were nearly dead when I found you," she said as she came near him to assist.   "You might be one of the civilians who escaped the ambush from the East Coast incident from the Central Kingdom," she said in deep concern.  "You needed more rest, for now, lie down in bed" she insisted.  He helps him to lie down again and introduce herself to him. "By the way, I'm Hidelga and you are in the place called the land of the forgotten in the empire." She said, __________________________ Once, Sacred weapon

Chapter 2: Crisis
The ascending emperor expected this to happen.  Prince Howard brought large killing machines and was about to enter the front gates. Each engine releases smog that ascended above covering the sky and turning it into a gloomy day.  Prince Evan stood in the distant heights and looked down, seeing his older half-brother together with his whole battalion.    "Madman," Prince Evan utters. This encounter made him very pissed.   "I think you don't know what is insanity," he said.    "Let me show you," he said with narrowing eyes, raising a signal to attack.   Shadows of men passed down swiftly.    All of them possess different types of sacred weapons.

Stating that even

Chapter 4: Into the Realms
The pot of soup was about to boil. The blacksmith's wife, Saray, transfers from one place to another and then asks her 7 years old daughter to prepare the table while Hidelga was taking care of the baby.   It was a relief that he didn't cry a lot especially when Hidelga was holding him. She caresses his little hand and his chunky blushed cheeks. 'Right, the weather is getting cold that's why he's blushing this way' she thought with a smile.  'Darling, if you're alive. Would you be like this?' she thought letting her fingertips move gently up to the baby's forehead.   "Hidelga?" the blacksmith's wife called her.   "Uh, Saray" her response.   Saray gets puzzled by the scene that she is seeing right now. She repeated what she said that Hidelga misheard because she was

Chapter 5: Captives
(May contain violent scenes)   He was walking from the town to the deepest part of the woods.   The thoughts about Hidelga keep running into his mind not because she kissed him, that's not a big deal for a 24-year-old emperor. It is the after-effect of what she did. She deals with the writhing pain that he was suffering for years in just a second.   He suddenly stops. 'I shouldn't return empty-handed.' he thought. _________________________ At the Center kingdom where the Ceremony was held. All the priests and priestesses gathered including some selected visitors.

Hidelga cannot fight back anymore, she was all tired of struggling since Sur entered her door, now it's Leon.   So instead of struggling for her to be released, she just let it take over and wait until it is all done.   Leon's hands slid to her face, her head, her hair, her neck, and nape, then her arms then after sliding encircling her waist and to her back. Then he drew his body closer to hers until she was fully and totally enclosed within his arms and against his frame.   Then slowly he pulled back separating his lips from hers, Hidelga stoop covering it.   'It's just a kiss... A very.... long..... hot kiss'   At that very moment, she didn't have anything in her mind and was speechless.   Then he came

After he brought January back to her room he returned to his.     Then suddenly multiple voices that speak as one came up from within him 'Are you ready, emperor?'     Evan smirked, 'Seems like you are one of the few left who acknowledges me as the emperor' Leon thought sarcastically.     'You have finally spoken again after the east coast incident' he added.     It was the voice of the Whispering Paradox inside him.     'What's the weapon behind this?' He asked.     He was fixing his dagger on the table. (the talisman was given to Hidelga)     'The King of Illusions, the Reality Disruptor, 'Ludus no Psyche' it stated.     'How can I defeat it?' he asked.     'There's no way to defe

The emperor smirked and said. "That's why you didn't even recognize me"   Sur was all confused and trembling in exaggerated fear.  "Your two assistants were both dead."

Leon asked   He leans on the metal handrails crossing his arms.   She shook her head to say no and utter "I probably feel something was not right again." she explained. "Perhaps something Melancholic" she added.   Leon was silent waiting for her further statement.   "It feels like I forgot something important," she said, confessing.   "Perhaps, It needs to be forgotten for a reason," he said. He came near her and pointed his pointer on her forehead. "Note this in your head," he said, "that you have all the right to have your peace of mind".   She smiled and sighed in ease turnin
