______________________________________________________ “Are you serious? Do you really think this is going to work?” Seth threw the papers across the room. “Bold of you to assume I think.” I take one more bite out of the cake. “ … I don’t even know where to start with.” He rubbed his face and plopped beside me on the couch. “How about don’t start at all. Just follow your instincts. If you think too much they will find a way to counterattack.” He just looked at me. I could see that he is worried about my attitude but he must learn to trust me. Annoyed, I stuffed his mouth with cake too so he doesn’t have time to answer. ______________________________________________________ “Say three words and I’m yours.” I have so much work to do. I told his dramatic ass to leave me alone at least for a few days. “No.” “That’s only one word. Do you even know how to count? Are you 5?” Seth challenged me I put my pen down and looked him straight in the eyes. “I’m 22.” “Well I don’t think I believe you seeing that you don’t know how to count.” “Ok. That’s it.” As soon as I rose from my seat he started running. “Dumbass. You really think you can run.” _______________________________________________________ After losing a bet with her older brother, the Crown Prince, she had to go to the battle in his place. She knew they did not expect her to return alive, but Victoria swore to herself that she will be back victoriously. After returning from war, seeing her as a threat, the Emperor sent her to marry Seth, one of the Kings forming The Great Alliance, under the pretext of "solidifying the peaceful relationships". How will they manage their relation and deal with their own problems in the same time?
