"The Queen is entering!" One of the guards announced as a blonde female stepped towards the door of the royal palace. The door had golden designs crafted on it, with an eye surrounded by a circle, representing the sun and had sun's rays around it.
The female had green eyes, was perfectly round and had a sharp stare. Her jawline was oval but cute. Her thin lips looked soft that any man would want to kiss. She had long eyelashes even with putting much effort to show them off like other women. Her long red dress that crossed her knees was made of pure silk. Her neck was covered with a white necklace made of diamonds. She was wearing red heels matching her dress. Her ears were pulled by long diamond earrings as well. At the top of her head, she had a tiara with different types of precious gems such as sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, gold and so on.
As she walked inside the room, she glanced at a man with black hair.
The male had yellow eyes with a perfect jawline. His long legs looked thin yet very muscular although he was wearing pants. His clothes were that of a king that England's king wear.
He smirked at the sight of his beloved as he stepped towards her. He was proud to have such a perfect queen for his country. He extended his hand to the woman and she held it and started walking towards the throne.
From the throne, the nobles in the banquet room were visible more precisely. The room had around 200 people. It had a few tables around 5 meters filled with food and desserts. Servants were serving glasses of wine with a tray on each one of their hands.
The room had a red fluffy carpet and it was comfortable for everyone to walk on. It also had a few long pillars covered with white lights. It had five huge lights on the ceiling that brighten up the darkroom.
"Long live the king! Long live the queen!" The people present in the hall cheered as the young couple stepped towards the throne.
The people of that nation loved their king so they were glad to know he was finally married.
Yet, at the corner, like any other country, stood those who opposed him. They would always try to find fault in the king's decisions and try to steal his place, which they kept failing.
They were gritting their teeth as they couldn't support the king's happiness. They had to find a way to bring him down, no matter what!
"Thanks for coming here to celebrate the queen's welcoming ceremony everyone. Please enjoy!" Jack spoke as he raised his glass of wine for everyone to cheer.
Aveline on the other hand didn't care much. So, she just smile without saying a word.
"Long live the Queen!" Everyone cheered as they rose their glass of wine as well.
Jack turned his face towards Aveline as he grinned but his complexion soon changed when he saw her gazing at a man in front of her talking to other nobles.
The man had red curly hair like fire. His blue eyes were the colour of the sky. He had a sharp nose along with a sharp jawline. He turned around as he noticed the queen staring at him. He gave a faint smile as he glanced at Aveline.
Aveline smiled back as she waved him.
Jack frowned as he saw the scene and grabbed the blonde young woman's wrist tightly into his grip. He led her behind one of the pillars present in the hall as he pinned her hand above tightly.
"Why are you looking at him while being with me?" He asked as his eyes slowly turned red.
Ave thought his eyes were turning red from anger so she smirked.
"My dear King, I didn't tell you anything when you had your affair with your so-called cousin. So why are you minding when I'm just being friendly with a knight of the palace?" She asked raising an eyebrow as she struggled to shove away from her husband's grip.
"I said, I didn't!" He whispered against her ear but the anger had escaped from his voice.
"It's a party, your majesty. Maybe you should go find that woman and have a dance." Ave spoke with a calm voice although her heart was beating at a crazy rate.
Jack got frustrated as he punched his left hand on the wall hard enough to make him bleed.
"Aveline!" He glared at her as his red eyes became redder.
"Don't get too angry. Your eyes are becoming red." Ave said as she looked straight into Jack's eyes.
Jack surprisingly back up as he covered his eyes with his hands.
"W-what... No way..." His legs turned as he rushed in a hurry to exit the ballroom.
"What's going on your majesty?" Eiden asked as he slowly approached Aveline.
"I don't know..." She mumbled with a faint voice as she fell on her knees.
'That was close...' she thought as her legs were still trembling from fear. She tried to get up but her legs had given up, making her fall over again.
"Are you ok?" The red-haired man knelt as he looked at the young woman struggling with her legs to get up.
Ave nodded softly as she gazed on the floor. She was confused if she had done the right thing to react like that. 'I mean, it's true... he can do whatever he wants. I don't love him anyways.' She told herself to be reassured her heart was uneasy. She came back to her senses when she felt a large hand on her shoulder. She looked at the person in front of her, Eiden Linz.
"Oh. I'm going to check on him." Ave slowly got up as she walked out of the room.
Eiden looked at the woman leaving the room in a hurry. He smiled softly as he went back to talking with the other guests again.

Jack took his hands off his eyes as he started feeling some sort of burning on them. He hurried to his room.
As he opened the door, he saw it was the one Aveline was living in. They stopped using the same bed after they had reached the palace.
The room had a blue cover on it with pillows of different sizes. She had a small chair with a tea table for her tea time. It also had two big wardrobes for her to use as she needed. It is a well-designed mirror at the center of the left wall.
Jack sighed as he walked towards the mirror and looked into it. His eyes widen as he saw that his eyes became red just as Aveline said! His trembling hands touched his eyes as he felt a chill going down his spine.
"What the hell is this?.." He mumbled with a trembling voice as his hands were shaking.
Jack walked towards his window as he looked at the moon. It had become full in just one day!
"How can this be?!.."
***
Aveline roamed around the floor checking each room to find Jack.
She sighed as her cold face slowly turned soft. Her eyes were slowly getting filled with tears.
"Did I hurt him?.." She mumbled. "Maybe he didn't do anything wrong, and I just misunderstood? I should just... try trusting him for once. After all, he's loyal to the owner of this body.' She thought as her eyes were glancing right and left still searching for that man.

-Aveline's flashback-
(POV of Aveline = Point of view)
After getting mad at Jack, I coldly talked to him before exiting his room. I don't know what happened between them but I felt bothered. So I walked outside of the palace. I was not paying attention to where I was going until I noticed that I arrived at an unfamiliar place.
The place was filled with arms such as swords, arches, etc.
"Who are you?" A manly voice asked me as I turned around to look.
It was a handsome man with red hair. He had eyes blue like the sky, very light with a little grey. He barely had a small shirt on him and his pants were pulled until his knees. He was holding a sword with his right hand. He had very muscular arms as he slowly approached me.
"Am I that handsome?" The man asked with a soft smirk on his face.
"Who said that?" I pulled back my amazed expression turning it into a cold poker face.
"I wonder?" The man teasingly spoke with a soft grin at the corner of his lips.
"Who are you?" I asked him as I raised an eyebrow.
The man moved his index signing no.
"I asked first so you answer." He chuckled as I frowned.
"Aveline. You?"
"Aveline what?"
"Just Aveline," I said as I started getting pissed off.
"Eiden. Eiden Linz." He said as he grabbed my hand and knelt to kiss it.
I pulled my hand away as fast as possible in disgust.
"What the f*ck?!" I yelled at him with a murderous glare.
"Wow, wow, my lady. Calm down. It's just how we knights greet beautiful ladies like yourself." Eiden winked in a flirty way.
I sighed. "Whatever. Help me find my way." I ordered him.
"I take orders only from the king and the queen." He said as a laugh escaped his lips. "But I'll let it pass for now."
"Whatever," I muttered as I let him slide in front to show the way.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked as he suddenly turned around making me bump onto his chest.
"The pala—" I stopped talking as my gaze fell on the man behind Eiden. I didn't even have time to step back from him. Jack was standing behind!
He stepped closer with heavy steps making everyone around understand how angry he is.
"Come with him." He said between his teeth trying to hold back his anger.
"Why?" I asked cluelessly.
"I said to, so do it!" He grabbed my hand pulling m towards the castle once more.
Eiden waved goodbye with a smile on his face, clueless about the situation.
Jack brought me into my room and threw me on the bed making me bounce.
"What are you going to do now? Rape me? Or beat me?!" I asked getting mad as well. It's not like I'm not used to it. In my past life, I had to go through this shit when I pissed off one of my so-called family members. Not rape but beating yeah.
Anyways, Jack was being too much. I didn't bother him when he was having his affair so why is he being like this when I didn't even do anything wrong?! Psycho!
To my surprise, he only walked away from the room after putting me on the bed.
"Sleep," is all he said.
"Weirdo..." I mumbled as I laid on the bed.
-End of Flashback-

Mei slowly opened her bedroom door as she sneaked a peek. He saw Jack looking at the moon.
'What's he looking at?' She wondered as she heard steps coming. Three people were coming from the steps she heard so she hurriedly hid at the corner of the corridor behind a huge lion statue.
Three men rushed towards Ave's bedroom. The same that came to protect her when they left Helzon.
"Your majesty!" Sharrkan yelled with his natural loud voice.
"Are you ok?!" Keiji and Zain asked at the same time.
"B-blood!" The three of them yelled at the same time as they saw Jack turning his face towards them.
