" So, Prince Myles, how was the flight", asked the Emperor with a smile on his face.
" It was fine"
Soon the food was served. Everyone began to eat. Gabriella kept on glancing at the man. This did not escape the eyes of the Emperor. He smirked and ate his food happily.

After dinner.
" Where did this prince come from?", asked Riley.
" I don't know. Maybe Queen Camilla decided to adopt a child", Gabriella said as she took off her black high heels and put on a pair of pink slippers.
" But why would she adopt a boy? He will eventually compete with Prince Gaylen for the title of Crown Prince. She already has enough to worry about with Lady Daisy and her daughter, Princess Annie, living in the palace", said Beatrice.
" Maybe Prince Myles is one of the other consort's son", Helena stated.
" But giving a consort's son the status of a prince is forbidden. The King fought a lot with his ministers to give Princess Annie her title", said Riley.
" Perhaps Myles' mother was one the King's favored consorts and he-"
A knock on the door cut off Gabriella. A maid came in a second later and asked Gabriella to go to the Emperor's study. Gabriella sighed, put on the black high heels, and walked out the door.
She knocked on the door and went in when the Emperor asked her to come in.
The walls of the study were painted oxford blue and there were wooden floating shelves. The shelves were filled with thick books and antiques. There was a particular golden vase that attracted Gabriella's attention.
The vase wasn't anything special but the simple flower pattern attracted Gabriella for some odd reason. She stared at it.
" Ella"
The Emperor called out, making Gabriella snap out of her daze. Gabriella curtsied and sat down on the white couch.
" How are you?", The Emperor asked.
" I'm fine"
" Do you want to know why I summoned you here today?"
Gabriella nodded.
" Prince Myles will be here for a few days. I hope that you can show him around Etroana. Take him to experience Etroanian culture-"
" A blind date?"
The Emperor pushed back his glasses to hide his embarrassment. He became particularly interested in finding the perfect place to keep an antique vase.
" I was right, wasn't I?", Gabriella asked.
The Emperor coughed and said.
" It isn't technically a blind date. You are just taking him on a tour of Etroana. You know, showing him famous landmarks, introducing him to Etroanian cuisine and you know, making him feel welcomed"
Gabriella stared at him for a few seconds before sighing and saying yes.
" Great. You will be responsible for Prince Myles for the next seven days. Good night!"
With that, the Emperor hurried out of the study. Gabriella ran after the Emperor but the guards blocked her. Gabriella told them to get out of the way but they just stood there with no expression on their face. They didn't move.
Finally, Gabriella gave up and went to her room.
' If I'm going to take the prince out, I should get some sleep first'

Gabriella and Helena were in Gabriella's room. Both of them were sitting on Gabriella's bed with the basket in between the two of them. No one said anything. They were still shocked by what they saw. They were speechless. They were disappointed and mad." So she has been cheating on him the whole time?", Gabriella broke the silence as she asked." Seems like it"" After all that he had done for her...how could she be so cruel towards him? How could she still face him with a smile, hug him, and talk to him as if she had never done anything? "" I told you. She was born an actress. What are we going to do now? He will be broken if he knew the truth. "" He deserves to know the truth. "" So we are taking her down?"" Of course. No one and I mean no one is allowed to deceive him. "" So what's the plan?"" I will tell you later. Right now, we need to pay Riley a visit. "" Let's get going then. We need to change our clothes.

" Oh..."" I will be leaving now. Goodbye, I will see you soon!", said Gabriella as she walked out of the room.Myles felt a hint of disappointment.' She left so quickly...'---Gabriella walked out of the room in long and fast strides. Her heart was beating faster than usual. She thought that it was because she was basically jogging so she stopped for a moment and leaned against a wall.She placed her hand over her heart and took deep breaths.Gabriella saw Helena walking towards her carrying a basket of fruits and other various snacks. Helena was eating strawberries and grinning." Where did you get that?"" Someone sent it to me. I think it's a secret admirer. "" A secret admirer?"" Yeah, the lady who brought it to me said that it was from a secret admirer."" And you don't know who it is yet you are eating it?"" Yes. I checked for curses and poison. There is none of that in this basket. "Gabriella spotted a little clear box filled with muffins and held her hand out." I'm not

She flew to his side within seconds and knelt beside him. Everyone was extra quiet. You could hear the breathing of the hundreds of people present. The healers that were hiding earlier, slowly came out of their hiding spots to see why it was so quiet all of a sudden. When they saw Myles, they immediately rushed to his aid with their tools. They heard the quiet sobs of someone and as they went closer to Myles, the sobbing grew louder. They saw Gabriella sobbing. Her tears were...somehow gold in color and they stained the area of Myles's shirt where his heart was. The healers stepped back and watched in awe. ---- ( This part of the chapter is from Myles's POV) A ray of sunlight attacked my eyes as soon as I opened them and I immediately closed them and turned to my right and then opened them again. I saw a human sleeping on a chair while resting her face on my bed. It was Gabriella. Her flaming red hair was scattered across the bed. It covered parts of her face too. I swept her hai

Myles ran to the private hospital wing in the palace. Currently, it was the only place in the palace that hasn't been attacked by the creatures and Dragons that joined the fight letter on. The whole way there, he kept shaking her seemingly lifeless body and begging her to open her eyes. Crystal clear beads of water fell from his eyes and he cried in despair.When he got to the hospital wing, the whole place was empty. Not a single soul was to be seen. He fell to his knees and cried even harder. He was lost.Myles looked at Gabriella's still body. Her face was beautifully sculpted by god. She had naturally long lashes, and her eyebrows were perfectly shaped and didn't look like they could be cousins. Her plump lips were beginning to lose pigment and turned as pale as her skin.Just then, a gigantic claw of a dragon broke through the wall. The impact caused small pieces of bricks and dust to go everywhere. Luckily, Myles had turned around just in time so the pieces of bricks and dust di

The battle outside was getting heated and even Emperor Nicholas had joined in the battle alongside the other soldiers. While all of this was happening, Empress Jane was inside the study trying to contact the Grand Mage and her brother, the king of Laelux. Only the Grand Mage could handle this situation as she didn't even know what the creatures outside were much less how to defeat them.But obviously, she wasn't able to contact the Grand Mage so she frantically tried to contact her brother, Anthony Evans. She wanted to ask him to send reinforcements to Etroana, the soldiers from Etroana that were training in Laelux.Suddenly, one of the walls of the study was blown up. Empress Jane ended up on the floor from the impact of the explosion. One of the creatures came at Empress Jane. It wasn't flying or walking.

Look at the sky!"Everyone stretched their necks to look at the sky. They were horrified by what they saw. Creatures clothed in long black capes that had tears that revealed their bone-like figures.
