”Excuse me?” His dark voice echoed across the room, she almost stumbled at his anger but sighed.

Regis Floyen is the current duke in the empire of House Floyen — and the emperor’s most trusted. He’s intelligent, cunning, respectful and a war hero. Despite being reserved and closed off to everyone, he’s a fool for his daughter — Juvelian “Juve” Floyen, the lady of the house and his only child. She inherited his beautiful looks, having his silver hair and all. Regis is a handsome young man, with short silver hair, beautiful blue eyes — but a gaze that follows those eyes is sharp and menacing at times. Even the emperor can be scared of him. Juvelian also inherited her late mother {Amelia’s} holographic, yet silver-like eyes. She’s a gorgeous young lady, being barely sixteen and all; but if someone stares at her for too long, all you’ll get back is a glance from Regis that is basically a death threat.

Juve has a crazy ex, Mikial. He was too obsessive and creepy, so she dumped him. Regis wasn’t a fan of her ex boyfriend either. But now, Mikial’s mother is threatening poor Juve to marry him because he’s sick and insane without her! Obviously, she’s frightened because they only care about her and want to probably ‘teach her a lesson.’ She’s also quite angry, because she already has a lover! Maximilian “Max” Ashet, who is a much better boyfriend! (He’s also secretly the crown prince but shhh). Regis just found out about this when he read the letter Mikial’s mother sent.

Regis’s blue eyes immediately went dark, he seemed calm on the outside but anyone could detect the cold aura beneath. He violently crushed the paper with one fist and threw it into the fireplace. How dare that wench threaten his precious daughter?!

”Juve.” His voice was so stoic and dull, yet it also at the same time seemed like he could cut the heads of 70 grown adults at this moment.
