Ensnaring his Dark Moon

Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid. Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way. And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated. Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

Knowing something

The door opened and Marlene tilted her head, ''Esme...'' Her eyes visibly lit up as she glanced at her niece.

Esme felt guilty in her heart, ''I should not have left like that the last time,'' She hugged the woman. 

Marlene did not say anything and she pulled back from her before looking behind, ''Is he here?' She whispered. 

Knowing that from 'he' she meant Aleister, Esme shook her head. 

''That's good,'' Marlene said as she led her inside. 

Esme blinked. 

"How are you feeling now?" Esme asked, recalling that Aleister had arranged some of the royal physicians to take care of her. 

''I don't feel as weak as before,'' Despite having her usual pallor, there was a hint of rosiness on Marlene's face. 

Esme glanced at her. 

''When I think about it, I am grateful for everything he has done for us,'' Marlene said as they walked towards her room, ''He has assigned a cook here and there are servants too. We owe him too much.''
