"Your Grace, we have brought her." Kian reported.Idris didn't spare him a gaze, and continued working. Two weeks have passed since he recovered completely and since then he had been working hard, also he focused on practising magic."Fine, you can leave now.""Yes, Your Grace."As Kian was gone, Idris put down what he was working on. Keeping a cool face, he picked up another piece of paper as he asked, "What is your name?""Heily, Your Grace.""Heily, do you know what you are here for?"The woman's soft tone of voice was not that hard to hear for Idris but the little sounds she made annoyed him. She continuously moved her hands and since she wore ornaments in them, the sounds were like a rhythm. "Yes, my Lord.""Alright, you may tell me what you know.""Umm, before that. Won't you look at me at least once?" As the woman requested in a soft tone of voice, Idris hit the table angrily. No woman could get close to him, he never permitted that. Even Cathy who was allowed to come and go d
"Wait, so you mean that the crown prince is a demonic beast?""Yes.""And he wants to rule the whole Kieran that's why he is waiting for a perfect time to execute his plan." "Oh no, then he will destroy the world.""Yes, he will. That's why he is planning to kill the real son of the emperor. Because there can't be two heirs of Oregano as per the rules. Until now, Lionel Arshelan has been the only heir who was supposed to sit on the throne but now since the true heir of Oregano appeared in the scene, he is thinking of how to get rid of him.""Oh, my. Then who is this real son? His life is in danger."Seeing how Sasha was worrying about the person she didn't even know about, Reivya chuckled."Why are you laughing? Did I say something funny?""No, but don't you really know who it is?"Not knowing it for real, Sasha nodded her head in denial and Reivya answered, "It's Idris Beaufort, the true heir of Emperor Randolph Arshelan.""What?" Unable to believe what she just heard, Sasha just st
The serene music, people chattering, women's laughing and men talking. In the huge banquet hall, people were busy with entertainment, some were watching the new people who just came to the banquet."Your Grace, you look so handsome today." Kian with a wide open mouth looked at Idris. Unlike he usually stayed, Idris had a new hairstyle though it was not his plan but someone else's to cut his hair like that."Thank you, you look great as well.""Wow, thank you for the compliment." Kian asserted. When those two stood still, another one appeared among them from out of nowhere. "Tana, how do I look?"Idris nodded his head in annoyance and Kian looked at him with admiration. "Wow, Sir Willem. You look the most handsome here. I'm sure all the women will go crazy once they...""You said I looked handsome and you are saying that this brat looks handsome too?" Idris narrowed his brows as he skipped a gaze at Willem.Kian found himself in trouble, he scratched his cheek and uttered feeling unea
"Of course, we can meet on the weekend as well. Though I have a busy schedule but for you, I can make time. Let's go on a date..."Kian was busy talking to a woman he met in the banquet, as he saw Cathy in a vulnerable state he was hella worried. "Lady Cathy, what happened? Why do you look like this?""Idris... He...""What happened to boss? Where is he?" Kian looked in the direction she just came from but sadly, he couldn't see him and he got more tensed."Idris... Idris jumped from the building. In... In front of my eyes, he...""What? Where did he jump? Wait, take me there."Kian ran after Cathy, going to the exact location from where Idris jumped awhile ago Kian kept searching around but he couldn't even smell Idris's cologne. "What happened? Tell me from the beginning.""We... We were..."* * *"Huff!""Huff!"Everywhere his gaze fell on, Idris could see only dark. His breath hitched and his legs were literally trembling. Idris didn't know for how long he had been running but hi
* Two months later *"Young Master, Duke Idris has arrived."Taking a sip in the glass of wine, Lionel looked at the butler who had his eyes fixated on the floor. The butler who worked for him, looked strangely calm yet the uneasiness and fear he was having couldn't escape Lionel's gazes. He leaned a little backwards in his chair and questioned in a gentle tone of voice, "How about my guest?""She is waiting for the call in the guest room."Lionel stared at the nearest building and nodded his head slightly, "Alright, it's time for a great show. Get him here.""Yes, Young Master."'The Serenity Palace', was known as the emperor of Oregano, Randolph Arshelan's palace. Rumours had it that the emperor was too infatuated with the palace for some reason so he wouldn't let anyone not even his son in the palace. Seated on his horse, Idris looked at the magnificent building in the distance. His eyes fell on the board on which the words 'Serenity Palace' were carved beautifully. His hatred was
"What do you want to say? Just say it. Miss Alpin." Lia moved forward a little, her hands trembling as she asked, "Are you really married?""Yes." Idris firmly answered."But you were supposed to wait for me. You..." Lia held onto the corner of her gown as she found it hard for the words to come out of her mouth, "You should have married me. We...""Miss Alpin... I have never said that I would marry you.""No, you...""I still remember what I told you that day. I told you, Miss Alpin that you will find someone better. I was not worthy of your care." Idris voiced out stiffly. Since the last time he met Lia, he thought that was their last meeting. Though at first he felt bad to use her, but he hoped she would meet someone better and not get involved in the world's conspiracy but..."It's... It should not be like this. I have been waiting for you for so long, Idris. I have left everything and focused on only getting to meet you again. I have done all I could to come this far, then why.
"Mr. Willem, do you think things will go as we planned?" Cathy asked, looking out the window worriedly. "I hope it does. I am also worried but I believe Idris has his plan.""Yes, I also trust him. I know when he plans something he will put his mind to it and give his 100% but... But still, it's the emperor this time. And the crown prince is not a human, he is a psychopath. What if... Something goes wrong? I can't help thinking about it." Cathy added. Like Idris said he had a plan but he left to do the task all by himself.Willem let out a sigh and nodded his head, "You are right. I am also worrying about that, let's hope for the best.""Yes..."* The Serenity Palace *"My prince, here...""Aaaa."A woman on his left fed him a fruit while Lionel was laid on the couch, leisurely moving around and looking at his other women who were serving him. While some massaged his body, some were busy feeding him fruits and some were in other things."My prince, would you like some wine?" One of t
"Idris, what are you doing here?""Mika, why is it you?"Idris couldn't believe he just met Mika, the shock of meeting her again after so many months had passed Idris was so overwhelmingly happy. "That's a long story, I cannot tell you about it right now. Mika, do you work for the emperor?""Uhmm, yes. Wait, don't tell me... Are you looking for the emperor?"Nodding his head, Idris took a look around. "I am here to find him but I don't know in which room he is at so I was here. Mika, please take me to him. I need to see him as soon as possible.""Someone is coming. Idris, come with me."Idris followed her, until now he was excited and had mixed emotions but now when he was getting closer to meet him, he did not know what he felt.Stopping in front of the door, Mika suddenly stopped. She bit her lips while taking a step back."Mika, what's wrong? We need to hurry or else someone will see us.""You can't enter.""What do you mean?"In a sad tone of voice, Mika explained, "Only the chos
