"Excuse me for being rude. But can Lady Rosalyn get straight to the point?" Charlotte asked as she put her teacup back on its saucer.Madam Rosalyn can't help but look at her biological daughter. She's been thinking for the past weeks, especially during the days she's been sick. The person in front of her seems like an unfamiliar person again. Lady Rosalyn is asking herself—Where did it go wrong?And she quickly found the answer to her question. It all started after she lost Charlotte fourteen years ago. Because of her carelessness, she lost her daughter and failed to find her for the past fourteen years. The former Countess even reached the point where she lose hope in finding her daughter again.For their distant and sour relationship, Lady Rosalyn can only blame herself. It was her fault all along. If only she tried her best to mend her relationship with Charlotte, maybe she will not treat her like a stranger now. She finally realized the importance of her former husband's words re
Three days had already passed since Charlotte and the Nocturnus Knights marched toward the war zone. The Royal Palace hasn't received letters or any messages from the female General yet. When Count Byron asked about it, Annie told him that it is sometimes happening. They must be busy setting up their camp or planning their strategy after seeing the place where they will face the enemies.While waiting for Charlotte's news, the royal twins are also doing their best to contribute to this war. The Crown Prince is doing well in his job as a temporary leader of their empire since Emperor Halil needs to rest more because of his now weak body. Everyone in the palace can see that Prince Marius is now ready to become the next person who will lead their empire once His Majesty steps down as their leader.Prince Marius is managing the political affairs inside the Royal Palace. With the help of their royal council and the cooperation of Saint Ingrid, the Crown Prince's work is getting smooth every
"General Rovira, everything is now ready. We are just all waiting for your command.""I see."Kyle, one of the new knights of the Nocturnus Knights, can't help but lift his head and look at the female General who is now standing in front of a window. She is probably looking at the pleasant weather today. But no matter how nice the weather is, everyone can feel the dull and gloomy atmosphere that is covering the Royal Palace.Today, they are now holding the funeral of Sir Gabriel Nortus. Until now, they are still surprised that the brave Vice General of the Nocturnus Knights and the trusted subordinate of General Commander Rovira were found dead inside the royal library. The two deep wounds that pierced his heart were the cause of his death. Whoever killed Sir Gabriel is definitely not an ordinary person.Everyone thought they would hold a huge celebration to congratulate the knights who fought in battle. It was a clear victory for them. As for the Nocturnus Knights, they finished the
When Charlotte returns to the Royal Palace, no one dares to talk to her. Everyone who can see the female General can tell that something is off about her today. But it is understandable since they just lost an important person in the worst possible way. If they feel bad about it, then General Commander Valentine must be feeling worse. The moment she enters her office, Charlotte frowns upon seeing a person waiting for her inside. It was General Commander Castella. But the first female General purses her lips and tries to ignore him. But her uninvited guest suddenly touches her arm and triggers the boiling anger that she is trying to hide.Without any hesitation, Charlotte put a hand on General Aster's neck and pushed him onto the wall. Her uninvited guest seems like he did not expect it to happen and he fails to react on time. When General Aster realized what happened, the female General started to squeeze his neck."Who told you to go to my office without any permission?" Charlotte a
When someone finally removes the blindfold that is covering her eyes, Roselyn blinks several times until she can finally adjust her sight. She tries to scream but the cover on her lips is stopping her from doing it. All Roselyn can do is look around her surroundings while fear is surging in her heart.This should not be happening to her! Roselyn is supposed to visit Lady Silica's mansion today and have some fun when a group of masked men suddenly appear in front of her. She tried to avoid them but their movements were so quick that Roselyn found herself being thrown inside a wagon in just a blink of an eye. She saw her mother trying to help her but the kidnappers left as soon as possible.Roselyn tried to scream for help but it was all in vain. That's because someone covered her eyes before she felt pain in her nape. The next thing she knew, Roselyn is now in this dark and damp room.Although the room is dark, Roselyn can still recognize a few things inside. There were old chairs and t
"No, please! H-Have mercy! I-I— urghk!"A silver blade cuts down the neck of the rebel before he can grovel on the floor to beg for mercy. His fresh blood was still spraying on the soil soaked with the blood of his comrades, but no one glanced at the dying rebel. Another swift swipe of a silver blade hits their enemies and their shrill cries enter their ears. In just a few minutes, spilled blood decorated the battlefield as their corpses were piled everywhere. The young general, clad in black armor stained with dirt and blood, stood in the middle of the battlefield.The young general of the Nocturnus Knights, General Rovira Valentine, is now on a killing rampage.Tonight is the night where the knights ambushed the enemy camp. It was a sudden decision by the young General. Yesterday, General Rovira suggested raiding the rebel's campsite saying that it was better for them to make the first move. It was an unexpected decision from their General. It was known to everyone that General R
'She is drowning, but no one can see her suffering. She is dying, but no one is willing to save her. She is begging for mercy, but no one...' A crisp knocking sound echoes inside the room. A young lady lifts her hand that holds a feather plume and stop writing. She momentarily stares at the door before saying something. "Come in." A young maid carefully opens the door. She bows her head a little to give her respect toward him. The young lady noticed that the maid who entered her room is holding a small tray in her hands. There is a glass of water and a bottle of pills on the tray. "Young miss, this is the medicine that you asked from me." "...Oh." The maid lifts her head and sees a young lady sitting on a chair who is currently writing something in her journal. She has soft, bluish-silver hair, a pair of blue-colored eyes, a high-bridged nose, and soft lips. The bright sunlight coming from the window is hitting her face. When she tilts her head a little, with the addition of the
In the middle of the night, there are two figures silently walking behind the Royal Palace. One is wearing a black swallow-tailed suit and is holding a small lamp in her right hand. The other one is wearing a hooded coat and silently following the young lady dressed as a male butler in front of her. "Butler Dennie, is the Crown Prince doing well in the palace?" Charlotte suddenly asked. "Yes, Lady Charlotte.” Butler Dennie simply replied. Charlotte secretly left their mansion with Butler Dennie. She decided to meet the prince while there are no prying eyes that can notice her disappearance. Charlotte also left Annie in the mansion to pretend to her on the bed in case the Count or the Countess suddenly visits her room at night. After riding a horse for half an hour, she stopped behind the Royal Palace where Butler Dennie was already waiting for her arrival. In all fairness, Charlotte did not expect the prince to suddenly invite her in the middle of the night. She remembered telling
