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?

Eternal darkness

The next day.

Contrary to the sunshine that Esme was expecting when she opened her eyes, all that greeted her vision was darkness. The same stars, the same night sky that she saw through the windows before she closed her eyes.

She rubbed her eyes, stretching her body, ''Hm... Did I wake up early?" 

Since she had sleep difficulties and she was pestered by meaningless dreams, she usually slept during the dawn and unless someone woke her up, her eyes would open after noon.

She glanced at Luciana who was sleeping peacefully on the other side of the bed.

''...Maybe I woke up early,'' Esme mumbled as she laid down on the bed, her gaze shifting towards Leo who was sitting on the pillow with his eyes open, ''You are awake as well…'' she blinked, sitting up on the bed yet again. 

Right at this moment, her ears picked up the sound of approaching footsteps from outside. Around 6 people were approaching in the direction of their room.
