A dark time when the creatures of shadow descended unto the tranquil human lands, making their existence known. A time followed when empires were led by humanity's conspiracy and betrayal, a time filled with hatred, but unbeknownst to the humans, they were only mere puppets, pawns of greater beings of darkness, entities with the power to crush anything and everything in their way.

What happens when a small human girl catches the eye of one of these so-called greater beings, a pureblooded Lord? Can an ant such as her survive the political strifes and fearsome feuds between the lands and the monsters that control them.

"Why should I avoid him? He was a perfect gentleman, a good man," Katherine Welcher argued in his defense.

"Good or not, neither matter," Alexander Delcrov warned her, "As long as you're under my wing, you shall behave and listen to my words. Do not let any man kiss you, Katherine. I don’t want others to call you improper."

"So disobedient," he stated with nonchalance before moving his hand from her waist to her back, pulling her closer to him as they danced.

His breath tickled her nape. 

"So you’ll only listen if you are mine?"

Valerian Empire

Katherine sat at the table during breakfast with the Norman's, her demeanor relaxed since last time she sat here. Lord Norman and Lady Ester indulged in a conversation regarding last night's  ball of the people who had attended.


Though Katie didn't drop a penny of her thoughts, it didn't mean she didn't listen in to the Lord and Lady's talk.

With the thought of her seeing Lord Alexander soon, she finished her breakfast and excused herself from the table. Deciding to take a walk in the mansion's garden, she stepped out but under the watchful gaze of the guardsman, Leroy and few other servants she knew the Norman's had asked to keep an eye on her.
