The day had passed and Lady Vienna was found lazily lying in her room for the whole day. She felt tired from all these events from these past few days. Her maid, Roxy, couldn't help the smile spreading to her face. "The crown prince had sent you some tea leaves, my lady." The crown prince? Oh right, he promised to give her some tea leaves that time when she visited the palace...So he was serious? "Here's also a note attached to it." With a note on hand, Roxy handed it to her lady. Lady Vienna reading the letters written on it. It was wrapped in an elegant envelope, with golden colored ribbon and sealed with the beautiful golden seal, with the sun and lion symbol of the royal family, indicating it was truly from the palace.

And before she could respond, she felt him guiding her towards the terrace. She was on the second ground and seeing a tall man with a hood standing still by the grasses, she managed to catch sight of his silver hair and black eyes through the dark. There's no mistaking it, he was the handsome man that gave the book! The man she was looking for! "Hey, Mister!" She said, wanting him to see her. The man looked up to the terrace and when he saw her, he sent her a gentle smile, before turning around and walking towards the woods. No, she has been waiting for this moment, she has to talk to him! She has a lot of things to ask about the book! Grabbing her dress, she pulled it up and stood by the railings. "Wait, Lady Vienna! What are you planning to do?" Asked Raziel from beside her, now panicking. "This is dangerous!" She glanced at the mysterious hooded man's figure who was slowly getting farther from her. "I think I saw the

To think that Lady Vienna forced herself to behave just for today. She opened her fan now, containing her anger. She held the glass in her hand, but her grip was so strong that the glass broke into pieces.  Fighting the urge not to throw it at Countess Tumaini, she smiled at her. “Oh, yeah. I really enjoyed that dance last night. How about you, Countess Tumaini? Weren’t you jealous because your husband loves his work more than you? Or the fact that your husband is satisfied with you?”  The countess gasped at that. Glaring at her, the countess laughed hysterically. “How outrageous! At least my husband is human, not like your beast fiance.” Beast fiance? She stood up at that. “What did you just stay?” She felt angry now hearing someone call Raziel a beast. She couldn’t stay still. She knew fighting idiot people would get her nowhere but here she is.  Countess Tumaini grinned smugly. “Why?

“Where’s Titus?” Asked Lady Vienna when Titus did not appear to greet her one morning. “Sir Titus had returned to his home, my lady.” Said Roxy, brushing her hair as she sat by the vanity chair.  Oh…“When will he be back?” “Oh, he didn’t tell us about that, my lady. He didn’t inform you?” Roxy asked.  “No…” She can’t help but feel sad. Titus never did this...he always tells her beforehand whenever he returns to his home. Did he get affected after what the emperor told him? She sighed, taking a mental note to ask how Titus feels lately. He only opens up to her sometimes.  After going down to eat her breakfast, Roxy asked something, “When are you going to visit the duke, my lady?”  Oh, that’s right. The duke. She’s forgetting about him these days. Her mind was too preoccupied with Titus. Smiling, she faced her maid. “Why? Do you miss your lover, Hux

A/N: Feeling bad cause you have to wait a whole week for updates. I think I should just return to Tuesdays and Fridays if I can. Enjoy dear readers!   ***   The duke nodded. “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen tonight….” He said, grabbing on his mask and looked like he was about to remove it. “Then if you’ll excuse me.”    She stopped him, “Wait, what are you going to do?”   He stopped. “You were curious to see my face, w
