Ensnaring his Dark Moon

Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid. Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way. And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated. Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

Can't be immoral

As they stepped inside the dining room, she greeted the King before greeting Duke Maverick and Duchess Flora. 

Her gaze lingered on Duke Maverick a little longer as she noticed that his face was paler than before and his skin seemed to have shrunk, his eyes looked more hollow than the last time she saw him. 

Feeling her gaze on him, Duke Maverick tilted his head, ''Is everything alright, Little Lady?" He asked in a gentle tone with a concerned look in his eyes. 

Realizing how rude she was being, Esme averted her gaze and she nodded. 

While Duke Maverick and Duchess Flora were sitting to the King's left, Aleister and Esme sat on the chairs to the King's right. 

''Has Uncle not been feeling good lately?" Aleister asked as he took his gaze off the lady who was trying to keep a safe distance from him.

Esme sighed in relief inwardly when he averted his gaze from her but she felt his palm on hers under the table and she stiffened.
