« Not at all. Can we go to a more private area? »

« Of course, Princess. »


Following the two men, Selena takes notes on their behavior.

She instantly knows who they are, they must be very close to her fiancé.

Both of them were very handsome men.


Unfortunately, they know it.

Confidence is good, but too much confidence is a deal-breaker.

She despites this type of man the most.


Surely they will try to talk about the Prince's « special situation » with the Duke's daughter.

Suddenly, she could feel someone's gaze.

Glancing behind her shoulder, she caught her fiancé's gaze.


Without wasting another second, she turned around and walked away.

Her long blond hair was swinging with every move.

Helios was transfigured with her very sight.


How could someone be this breathtaking?


His thoughts were interrupted by his father's.


« Of course, Helios would be very happy to escort your daughter to visit the capital. »


Helios could hear the ordeal from his father's voice.


Only this afternoon, he was so against this marriage.

But, right now, he is not so against it.

All night long, he only wanted to talk with his fiancée.


However, his father has other plans.

Maybe as a punishment, he stayed beside him from the beginning of the ball.

Lost in thought, he didn't notice when Irina greeted him.


After hearing someone clearing their throat, he finally came back to his sense.

He instantly froze, she was standing in front of the Princess's father and uncle.

From their expression, Helios knows instantly the danger of this encounter.


Without thinking, he gripped her wrist and took her far away.

After a moment, they were on the balcony.


« What are you doing? » he asked half shouting.


Seeing her standing in front of his father-in-law, he lost his reasoning.

She knows exactly that their relationship is not blessed by his parents.

He can't let her encounter the Emperor's wrath or worst, the King's.


Irina understands the situation and that she was slowly losing the Prince's interest.

The Princess was supposed to be ugly and fat as a pig.

But, her curvaceous body and her breathtaking beauty could not be compared.


Not knowing what to do, Irina didn't think before acting.

It was not in her nature.

So after a moment of reflection, she decided to play the most difficult card.


« I am so sorry, I know that I should have not done that. But, I can't watch you anymore being enchanted by the Princess. I am your lover, and my heart is breaking little by little. I want to cry, I want to scream out of my lungs. You were my first man. If you leave me, how could I survive? I am afraid to be alone. »


After some fake tears, the Prince's expression finally softened.


« I am sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. »


Helios embraced her lovingly while kissing her forehead.

He was losing his mind, before him, his lover was crying.

But, he was thinking about the silver dress's fairy that was ignoring him.


« What a sight to behold. ».


Surprised, the two lovers separated and turned toward the door.

There stood his father and the King, one was red from shame and the other from anger.

Behind him stood Selena, the Moon's light was reflected by her silver dress.



Guild eats away a person's heart, but sadness could kill it instantly.
