Indebted Lady to a Heartless Gentleman

⟪Complete Novel⟫ What sort of witchcraft was that? Her closed eyes snapped open, and she was met with his smoldering dark gaze, her eyelids slowly slid closed once more as he continued to devour her. 'Embrace me in your mind, just as you have in your body and heart.' She shook her head, but his hands pressed against her cheek, limiting her ability to move her neck the way she desired. 'I know you like this. I can hear it in your heartbeat. I can taste it.' She did like it. His deep voice inside her mind carried a wealth of passion. It felt like having even more of him within her. It was tempting to fully embrace it. 'You are mine, body and mind, give me everything.' *** The Archduke of Lanark was blessed with two daughters, his eldest was the most beautiful Lady in the kingdom, while the youngest, Adelaide, held a special place in his heart. Life for the noble family was about to undergo a profound shift. With the revolution threatening the aristocrats of Emoria, their Monarch demanded they part with a significant portion of their wealth to appease the people. As a result, Adelaide's proud father found himself facing financial hardships that pushed him into deep debt. Just as despair gripped the family, a mysterious stranger arrived in town, igniting fervent discussions among the nobility with his considerable fortune and flawless etiquette. To their astonishment, this stranger paid off the Archduke's debt, becoming involved in their lives in more ways than one. Egon von Conradie, the wealthy commoner, had a hidden agenda. But his perfect plan faced an unforeseen obstacle—he had not anticipated falling for the daughter of his mortal enemy. Only Adelaide, a rare Healer, had the power to captivate a unique Beast like Egon. *** Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Larissa's farewell ceremony (part 2)

Surrounding Larissa were noble ladies, predominantly dressed in black yet showcasing distinct styles reflective of their respective origins from around the world. Directly across from her stood the Queen of Emoria, shedding tears beside Baroness Frieda and the Duchesses of Emoria, with Sasha and Lidya by their side.

Inclining towards her sister, Adela murmured quietly, "Lari, I must take my place next to Her Majesty now for the songs to begin. Relax, all right? I will find reasons to come and talk to you a couple of songs later."

Larissa nodded from beneath the veil immediately, yet Adela sensed a reluctance to part from her. As she took a few steps away, heading towards her mother and the Baroness who made room for her to stand between them, she belatedly understood why it was challenging to put distance between them.
