Keith was dismissed and he made his way out of the Grandmasters room quietly. Now he was starting to wish that his cover was blown instead than to be called into this discussion. The annoying part of it was the fact thathe had no choice but to participate in this.He couldn't bring himself to believe that this had happened to him. The Grandmaster wanted him to protect the crown prince.Same man who had murdered his sister! Do they really think he will be in the right frame of mind to keep an eye on that bastard?!This was going to be a great test of his patience and Keith wasn't sure that he had enough of it..He didn't realise when he bumped into Ellinor and just before she could fall back, he pulls her by the arm, dragging her closer to him and helping her on her feet.“Are you alright?” He asked.Ellinor was quiet, staring at him blankly. As soon as Keith realised who it was, he stepped away immediately.“You should be careful next time. Watch where you are going!” he said, trying

Ellinor had to go back to the Jade temple. She was yet to deliver master Warden's messageand she had to deliver it that day.Despite how humiliated she was, she needed to do the needful and get back to the master.Ellinor avoided Keith as much as possible and finally, she arrived in the grandmaster’s quarters.She informs the maid who she was and the young woman announces her presence..“Grandmaster, Ellinor is here to see you.”“Let him in.”Ellinor walks into the room and bows her head in courtesy, before approaching him.She settled behind the table, sitting on the pillows that plushed on the floor.“Good day Grandmaster I trust that you have been doing well.”“I've been doing great. Do you have a message for me? It is unlike you to show up like this.” The old man said.“Master, you know I would come to check up on you if I had a chance.” Ellinor said in her own defence.“That's exactly what I said. You are not the type to decide to pay me a visit.” If Ellinor was being honest,

Ellinor soon returned back to the mansion, feeling a bit on the high.As much as she did not want to admit it, Keith made her day by showing concern for her. It made her feel like she was see and heard, in whatever she was going through..Finally at the mansion, she made her way to Warden's study. She was a bit concerned to see him standing by his patio.His hands were behind his hack and his face felt and looked certain distant.“Good dau, master. I am here to deliver the message.” Ellunor said the moment she got closer to him..She has been with Warden for years now and she knew when something was off, she could easily tell that he was thinking about something…And overall,he wasn't in a very good mood either. Something certainly happened..“Did young man make up his mind already? You might have to convince him if he refuses to do this…” “I spoke with him today and you agreed. I'm sure that he will not disappoint us..”Ellinor assured.“I really hope that is the case. Thank you, El

Days went by and it was finally time for Keith to take his position as Edward's shadow guard.He wasn't looking forward to this at all. When the morning of that day finally came, he wish he could turn back the hands of time! Keith didn't want to do this and it was making him very upset that he had no choice..Keith was on his bed, refusing to get up on his feet. Seqn had tried to wake him up several times but he refused, ignoring his friend…He thought that if he stayed indoors all day, the Grandmaster would take that as a no, and assign somebody else instead..His blanket was yanked off his body and before he could retaliate, a bucket of water poured all over him, forcing him back to the ground.Keith struggled for his life and finally got on his feet. He couldn't believe that his entire life had flashed before his very eyes!“What is wrong with you?! Are you outof your damned mind?!” Keith screamed in anger.His entire body was soaked with water. He barely had enough change of clo

Hana woke up that morning, feeling like a queen once more. She just couldn't wait to get married to Edward and get this over with! When she will no longer be referred to as lady Hana anymore, but as the wife of the crown prince.The one place that she had in mind to go after getting married, was to the place where she used to buy her dresses before.There were a group of noble girls who often make fun of her, back when she was a kid. She was going to make sure to go there and make their life miserable!And her etiquette teacher? Hana had co.plained to the Queen about how that old hag addresses her! She also informed her that they way she was being addressed makes her feel unimportant, therefore making her ability go talk to Ava very low!Who would have thought that the queen would fall for such nonsense?! But she did and she changed the etiquette teacher in a heart beat! The numerous things Hana could do and get away with made her very excited.Her life has been nothing short of
