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?

''Lady Luciana, it doesn't look like you are at the age to play with dolls then why must you act so childishly?" a clear voice resounded in the courtroom, interrupting the King's words. 

Everyone's attention shifted towards Esme who was sitting beside Aleister and the entire place drowned in complete silence. 

Aleister's movements paused for a moment before he picked up the glass of wine in his hand and turned his head to the side to look at her face. He sipped the wine and the corner of his lips tugged up behind the glass, ''How pretty,'' he whispered under his breath.

A blush crept up to her cheeks and her fingers gripped the arm of the chair tightly. Did he not know that she had a decent hearing ability?
