The Kamdat Empire was the largest, and it was ruled by a kind-hearted emperor. It was he who replaced Father Zachary, who now proudly occupies the place of one of the most powerful dukes of the empire. On one of these days, the emperor gave the order to capture Darria, a neighboring empire, because it allowed itself too much and drew resources from foreign territories. You were Princess Darria. You were as beautiful as the sun and were the most beautiful woman in your country. The knights led by Zachary began to envelop your castle in a bloody blanket. They killed everyone in their path, no matter who it was. The Knights of Darria tried their best to protect you, but they fell right before your feet. Having glanced at your eyes, the man staggered and did not kill you. Instead, Zachary ordered a knight to collect your things and brought you to Kamdat. You lived on his estate, but there was one huge problem. You did not understand him, and he did not understand you. The language barrier was too strong, so you could only smile and nod like a fool. On one of these days, a man watched you from the window. Zachary ordered to find someone who could translate your speech, but there was no such person in the entire empire. Or was it? Ray was a slave and also came from Darria, so Zachary freed him from his slave status and officially made him a translator. Every day he watched how you grew closer to Ray, laughing and smiling a lot. For some reason, this gave him a bad feeling and he didn't know why. Zachary was jealous and very jealous. He started to get annoyed by the way you smiled at Ray and talked to him for hours. And right now he was watching you picking apples, quietly giggling while looking at Ray. Your gaze then quickly shifted to the window and you smiled brightly at the sight of Zachary. The Duke's heart suddenly began to pound in his chest and he sincerely did not understand why. “Damn,” he whispered and covered his face with his hand.
