Episode 5

As soon as I enter the room, all I can see is a beautiful man laying on the bed. I admire his beauty. After a while, I asked Lena and Sarah to leave the room. They were a bit skeptical about it at first but since they cannot refuse an order, they have no choice but to leave Bella alone. After a while I fell asleep on the wheelchair because there is nothing to do and I was bored.

Suddenly the man wakes up after a while and find himself sleeping on an unfamiliar place. He looks around but find a beautiful girl sleeping on a wheelchair instead. He try to get up from bed but end up waking the girl instead.

I suddenly wake up to a sound of the bed creaking, and I saw a man looking at me with doubt in his eyes. Huh? Why is he staring at me like that?

" Who are you?" He asked me.

" Look! I mean no harm at all! I saw you pass out in the street and decided to bring you here to help you." I replied.

" if you have no intention of doing anything to me, then I sincerely apologize for being rude just now." said the man.

" Um- that's fine but what is your name sir?" I asked him.

" Just call me Kyle, what about yours?" He ask me back.

" oh, nice to meet you. I'm Bellatia Advilore!" I answer as him back. Somehow I don't feel uncomfortable calling myself as Bellatia at all, instead of feeling bad I felt a connection to it more then my name ever did to to me.

" Advilore...I think I heard that surname from somewhere...! Oh! are you the young lady of the Marquis Advilore?" He looked at me.

" Ah, yes" I answered him.

" Oh, cool" said Kyle.

That was unexpected, usually when someone meets a higher rank aristocrats you would be nervous or try to get on their good side but that was such a blunt answer. After a few minutes of awkward silence, I told him that he can stay here in the manor for now. But when he is recovered he can leave at his will, no one will stop him from leaving with so he can go anytime he wants. Then I left the room and went back to my room, I have no idea what he was thinking at all.

" Leaving at will huh?"

" But what if I don't wanna leave?"

After that day, I come to visit Kyle everyday and we become good friend. We even sneak outside to enjoy the firework show event, we are on a really good term. But the problem is that his appearance attract a lot of attentions especially from the girls. He is very handsome, even me myself sometimes throw a glance at him. He has an almond-shaped eye, muscular, black hair and he is very tall. So to make sure we don't attract too much attentions, we are always on a commoner disguise so no one suspect us. But I still hasn't find a solution to his face yet. I feel embarrassed to say this but, the person who attracts others isn't only him. I somehow attracts a lot of men too, so that really make us the " perfect friend" ? I laughed.

If this small happiness can last just a little bit longer before the original plot begins, how nice must it have been...but there is nothing I can do. Eugene is the Arch Duke who has the absolute power and authority to do whatever he wants and has the emperor under his leash as well if I compared myself to such a man, there is no chance of me getting the win. Even the timing is messed up, by the time the original start Eugene will be mature and will truly be the real Arch Duke. Right now, he is still seventeen so he cannot succeed the title of Arch Duke with full authority and power yet. He still have enemies left and right to eliminate, enable to have everything. But the real victim of this action is no other then Bellatia herself. Because out of all person, Eugene choose her to become his fiancee. And while being engaged to a powerful man, he is someone who hate to let go of something he laid his eye on. So he keep her trapped in the Arch Duke's castle while he himself get into endless conflicts with the female lead, Lena.

Eugene and Lena stand at the opposite sides all the time. When Eugene try to kidnap Bellatia, the first people to stand up for her is Lena who is her personal bodyguard. But in the end, Lena lose and get kill by Eugene. Bellatia Advilore is officially married to Eugene after Lena's death but because she saw Eugene kill Lena who she look up to as an older sister infront of her. She dislike and was scared of Eugene ever since, but strangely the novel said that Eugene does have geniene feelings toward Bellatia not Lena. Because the story itself is a thriller so not many lovely things happen. The female lead and the male lead are enemy who is on different sides all the time. They sometimes plot to assassinate each others as well. So it's no surprise that they have no love for each other.

In the original, Lena's ultimate goal is to safely bring Bellatia back and defeat Eugene. While Eugene's goal is to obtain Bellatia and stop the conflicts between the Marquis Advilore. So when I said that Bellatia is an important supporting character, I really meant it. She is the reason that causes everything to happen but we can't really blame her at all. She is just a weak girl who is always treated with love from others, and she's not good in politics either so it can't be anyone fault that this whole conflict things start.
