***Completed*** Lady Jessamyn brought home a ten-year-old orphan when she was eight. He was handsome ^_~. She provided him with a place to stay and warm meals. As they grew up, she desired to marry him, despite their differing statuses. As war raged, he signed up for the military, promising to ask for her hand when he was worthy. Two years later, he became more than what he promised he would be. He became the Archduke of Ayberia. But he broke her heart by marrying her friend. Years rolled away; life happened. She married a man who loved her and fell madly in love with him. She didn't think of him again. But fate was cruel; she was widowed at the age of twenty-one. She lost everything. Seven years later, she met a mysterious wolf while she was out at work in the Archduke's fief. She had a fall. The next morning, she found herself on the Archduke's bed. Did fate bring them together again? Or something nefarious is at play? Is this a chance for a second love? Will she find out why he abandoned her in the past? Is it possible to rekindle their old love, or is it too late? ----- Join me in this journey. Your comments and votes are appreciated. Gift me to motivate me. Updates will be daily.
William sensed the murderous aura emanating from Jerrick as he glared at Louis. Louis gulped, realizing the bind he was in, yet he puffed his chest, cleared his throat, and stared back at Jerrick.
He was the Crown Prince. They couldn't do anything to him. He had found out the truth with his investigative skills and he needed to hold his ground. He needed to command respect.
Jerrick's attention then turned to William. "William, is he really trying to blackmail me?"
William leaned against the wall, his expression one of calm amusement. "Blatantly," he said. If Louis wanted to play with fire, then he should learn by getting burned.
Just because Jerrick acted goofy earlier didn't mean he was a fool. Louis shouldn't have forgotten that he was talking to the god of death everyone feared. As the crown prince, he should learn that there were rules to be followed to negotiate with different people.
