4th September, XXXX I went back to my room after the reveal yesterday. I did not talk to Sebastian. Out of the corner of my eyes, I knew he wished to talk to me. But I did not even give him a chance. I knew he had a lot of things to handle. Aren’t I a good and considerate fiancee?  …

2nd September, XXXX Something interesting… That’s something interesting indeed.  When I entered the throne room. Lord Bentley was there too.  Sebastian was sitting on the throne. When he saw me, he stood up and led me to the throne next to his, the Queen’s throne. He motioned me to sit down.  “It’s the Queen’s throne. I am not your Queen.” …

25th August, XXXX Someone knocked on the door early this morning.  Maybe it’s not morning, maybe it’s afternoon.  Heavy drapes cover the window.  It’s Sebastian.  When I saw him, I closed my eyes.  My heart has died.  No hatred, no love, no sorrow, no guilt. Nothing. “Liana,” he called.  He must have noticed my abnormality. I did not shout. I …

1st September, XXXX I shouldn’t have trusted him… Now I can’t even get out of my room… What do you want from me? When I returned to the capital, the first thing I did was to find him. He received me. When I shouted at him hysterically, he just smiled at me. With his predator like smile. It overlapped with …

23rd August, XXXX How many times do you have to betray me, Sebastian. I trusted you. I TRUSTED YOU.  It’s all my fault. I should have stayed in the capital. I should have stayed by my family’s side. Then even if I could not delay the inevitable, I could at least die with them. You TRAITOR YOU PROMISED ME SEBASTIAN …

15th July, XXXX I have not seen Felicity and Lucien from that day on. I stayed in bed for a few days to recover from the repercussion. So I hope they were just here for sight-seeing.  Prince Lucien of Edehan was driven out of the country by Lord Astor last year. After that he came to Arerin and asked King …

10th July, XXXX I have been here for nearly a month. Grand Duchess always goes out to meet her other friends. So I am always left alone. This is a popular retreat location for nobles which is true but it needs an amendment. This island is a popular retreat location for ‘older’ nobles. There are only two young female nobles …

11th June, XXXX It has been three days since we have arrived at Coral Cliff. This island is as beautiful as what others said. The sapphire blue sea, the beach, the beautiful estates… No wonder this is a retreat paradise for nobles and the rich. The only misgiving is that it is troublesome to come here. First, one week of …

8th June, XXXX You are not a hunter… Does that mean I’m in his way? Or he simply wants to protect me?  After all these, I still do not want to hinder him. I still want to help him. I even risk my entire family to help him. How pathetic. When will you wake up, Liana? Why do you still …

7th June, XXXX When I don’t want to do something, I have a tendency to push it off. I bought the chocolate, I wrote the thank you note. But I cannot bring myself to go to the castle and give it to Sebastian.  I considered asking Adrian to give it to Sebastian, but that notion was banned by Mother. She …
