Gaerin was drowning in misfortune, it was only a day ago when Prince Ragel visited Prince Baez yet upon not finding him or his sister assumed that they shall be off to the imperial palace and would return soon, hours passed as the sand that was held tightly into a fist flowing away with winds yet they never returned.

Prince Baez had escaped with his sister Princess Quare.

The moment King Kyzm was informed as such, a huge premonition fell and as if all his apprehensions were coming to life, a pigeon carrier informed that Ambrose army was marching for Gaerin and the echoes of war resonated throughout the hallways. It was the last day of the eclipse yet it felt as if the goddess that arose with the darkness was looking down on the mortal realm and shall not go to sleep till all lands were drenched with blood.

"Princess..Princess cannot-" The servant was slapped so ruthlessly that she fell down on the ground and looked at the woman with fearful irises. Consort Jeansen's spies that served as Princess Semeara's(Lilith disguised) maids were trembling with how violent the usually graceful woman truly was, as if till now the elegance that was engraved deep in her bones was replaced with lust for vengeance.

Under the orders of King Kyzm, Princess Semeara's chambers where Artilia was disgraced and found dead were locked and the princess instead was given another pavilion yet this honey-eyed royal memeber listened to none as she barged inside the room.

"This one will cut off limbs of those that step inside after me, this princess has warned you now its your discreetion...you have courage? then follow me." It was only this hour that Princess Semeara(Lilith disguised) was found in the imperial temple praying and copying holy scriptures to ward of the evil and now she was barging up the room as if in a hurry.

Lilith closed the sagon doors slowly, as those eyes that were sharper than a hawk looked at the imporper sheets that were marred with a bloodstain. Delicate fingers tightened into a fist as a slow smile that was even more petrifying than a crazed beast graced her lips.

Madness danced in her heart and that beautiful fairy-like face that resembled a hellish creature accompanied by unfocused trembling fingers searched the bed. The laughter that bloomed from inside the closed chambers made the servants wide-eyed in dread as they stepped away from the doors and kowtowed endlessly.

The princess has lost her mind, she has gone insane.

Lilith held onto a glimmering bracelet made from Silian silver and applied so much pressure that its shape was disfigured as she crushed it, metal digging into her palms generated blood droplets that dwindled from her palm to the wrist and stained her entire hand.

"Baez" Not a whisper, that was a war-oath of a woman that had lost everything and could protect none.

The doors soon opened and Lilith emerged, although the women that were continuously kowtowing were unable to see her yet they felt as if all the sins they have committed would be calculated now.

"Your imperial princess could have been here instead of Crown Princess Artilia, It might have been this one that would have been dead instead of her. If your master fell to such danger and you could not prevent it what are you all accumulated to? Soldiers..."

The men bowed deeply as if understanding what to do with those useless servants.

"Kill them all by drowning." Fast-paced footsteps slowed down and now became harmonious with the veil coming off and being thrown to the floor after she wiped the blood on her hands using the silk cloth, insanity was concealed and a gentle smile with innocent gestures filled those features.

Truly an enchanting fairy from Northwestern mountains that seeped elixir, she resembled a pure violet lily under the rhythmic drizzling that gently fell on her petal body and wetted her entire being with sensuous charm, fragrant and beautiful, as if even if touched a little harshly she would wither.

Crossing numerous courtyards and being composed with a little frightened pace resembling a newborn fawn made servants stop and look at the lady in a stupor.

"This one wished to meet his majesty." The soldiers did not know that such a woman existed in the palace, was she a new concubine? Eyes that were dazed while watching her nodded before the men remembered that they could be killed for disrespecting a royal member and they removed their prying gaze.

"Y-Yes, what shall the lady be addressed as?"

"This one is the niece of his imperial majesty and I wish to see him due to the undue circumstances."

King Kyzm when informed of Lilith was astonished, why did that woman take off her veil, thus the soldiers were asked to escort the imperial princess inside without a single moment of delay.

Azure pleated skirt made from the lightest and most exuberant shades of silk pooled at her feet when the princess bowed down.

"Imperial uncle, this one is here after listening that Ambrose had declared war on Gaerin...then what about this princess's marriage to Ambrose." Kyzm looked at the woman infront of him with raged irises.

"What marriage?! Your homeland is immersed in war and you are thinking of yourself-" Quickly the frail figure trembled and bowed to her knees.

"Imperial Uncle it is not this princess that one is concerned of, his majesty has given me a rare opportunity to redeem myself, one is concerned of mother and father. Will his imperial majesty, the sun of empire punish my imperial father if this princess did not get married?" Kyzm smiled yet there was only cold indifference in those irises.

"Vzeus has rebelled against this empire and the charge of rebellion is the extermination of an entire household. One would not be able to spare either you or your mother along with Vzeus. Furthermore, your mother's family- Count Izar's would follow as well, men would be killed and women banished."

Emperor Kyzm was completely aware that Vzeus and Lyra were dead yet till their daughter was alive he would squeeze her till the last drop of blood and make use of it.

"N-NO! Imperial Uncle mercy!" Tears trailed down those misty irises as Lilith cried so pitifully that it looked like she was being bullied to the dead end.

"T-This princess has heard that the King of Daxtros- His highness Qiza is looking for a concubine....this one will become his concubine! One will do whatever imperial uncle asks of this one, just spare my family.

I-If his majesty does not trust this princess, his majesty can send Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials with this one to Daxtros....one will not have any other thoughts and bring glory to your majesty!"

As if a thunderbolt had fallen upon Kyzm's head he looked at the crying pitiful woman and realized that she indeed was exquisite and can enamor any male unless he was not dead. If Lilith, Kyzm's niece marries into the imperial harem of Daxtros then he will be inlaws with King Qiza.

This matter was long ago thrown at the back of his mind yet now when she said it like this- he can ask King Qiza to help in fight with Ambrose. Such an opportunity can never be forsaken.

Honey irises that had reddish hue of a carnal beast looked at Kyzm and from underneath her lashes.

The dragon has returned for his throne Kyzm.
