The Obsessive Male Lead's Fiancee

Seven

The palace is tense, and everyone is wary of each other. What seems to be the good news for the Lady and King having a child together is a nightmare towards the queen and crown prince. Even the servants did not dare utter a word.

"Don't falter, he is already named as a crown prince, My Queen," and the Marquis grinned.

"How insolent!" says one of the maids. She could not help but grind her teeth because of anger. Prince Daniel did not do anything and remained calm. He even sipped a cup of tea. The maid had put the Queen in a comfortable position in the bed as she had fainted from shock. After that, the servants leave the room. The Marquis, who had been vouching for Lady Aristella, looked more arrogant than before.

"Marquis Dracos," he called to him with a cold expression, crossing his legs and his wrists on his cheeks. Marquis flinched for a second.

"Want me to cut that tongue of yours?" he asked and grinned, threatening him.

"N- no, Your Majesty!" he said.

"Then don't be so insolent," he smiled and made a triangle shape with his palms, "And remain silent for a while..." there is an intense silence between them.

"Oh no, no... I apologize, Your Highness," even though his insides are twisting like crazy because of his anger towards him.

Someday, I will crush you! he thought at the back of his mind.

r forever?" and grinned towards him, him overshadowing him like he was a reaper that would deliver his death.

The day ended like that and Prince Daniel walked into the path inside a dungeon under the castle of the Queen. You can see the crying and howling of the beast she had been raising when the time came. He knows it all. That he was just a tool for her revenge. And when the time comes, he will lead the destruction of this Kingdom.

But why?

He asked himself. All this time he had lived without fear and executed everything swiftly.

Is the reason I was born because to help my mother?

He entered one of the cellars. Inside is a white tiger, and its blue eyes are glistening in front of it. It's fangs are so sharp that he knows the feeling of being bitten by it. Even its nails surely feels right if it is in his throat.

'I must be crazy.' he thought in himself.

GROWL...

He walked as if it was his realm. But the wild animal started not to be that generous as it started growling at him, jump to attack him in which he easily evaded. The tiger failed to reach him that's why it jumped again and wanted to pierced through his heart. The tiger attack and he evaded, as if they are dancing together under the dark place. When he gets bored, he started drawing his sword and attacking it. The tiger jumped in the air and he slashed its legs, jumped it, then pierced through its heart.

"ROOOOAR!" and a splash of blood splattered in him. He is bathing with the tiger's blood, like a mad man finding his amusement by ending his life, or the life of others.

Whenever he is down, he enjoys killing the spirit animal of his mother. A loud creak was heard and his butler entered.

His mother will be so mad at him if she knows this has happened. And that is when Monica stepped up.

"You called for me, Your Majesty?" she asked and gasped when she saw the legendary white tiger on his foot while he was soaking in its blood. "AHhhh!" and took a step back. No matter how many times she witnessed this scene, it was still a horrendous sight.

He splashed the blood on the floor and put the sword back inside the scabbard. He looked awfully calm. He glared at Monica.

"Heal it before it dies," he said and walked away. Monica could not refuse him.

"Y- yes Your Majesty!" she answered while trembling. Monica immediately goes to the white tiger, while the other servant starts wiping the blood on the ground. A light appeared in her and a rare pattern appeared before her and enveloped the body of the white tiger, and its wounds started healing one by one. But because most of its vital points are hit, an excessive amount of magical aura is getting from it.

Monica gritted her teeth. She, a respectable lady from the Count's House, is doing these things under the crown prince's order to be used like that by the crown prince. She vomited because of the stench and could not stomach it. She is very frustrated. But she needs to do this to achieve her ambitions. They had locked the tiger again before it was fully healed so it would not hurt Monica when it had fully recovered.

"Are you done, My Lady?" asked her maid and wiped the blood from her hands. She was very frustrated that tears kept falling on her face until she laughed like a mad woman. She is exhilaratingly excited, and she bows that she needs to do something. Whenever these things happen, Prince Daniel is very frustrated.

Monica stands up and immediately goes behind the trail of the Prince.

"My Lady, we apologize, but no one is allowed inside the room of the crown prince right now." and the servants had stopped her, blocking entry. "Please come again tomorrow." his personal assistant, Steven said, and grasped the situation, but Lady Monica was not returning.

"Let me in, Steven! You know who I am!" she said and they heard cracks inside his room. Vases and other things are being thrown out.

"I'm sorry, my Lady, but you will just get hurt if you come in! His Highness ordered us not to let anyone inside..." he said, and then a few moments later he felt his vision getting blurred and he lost his consciousness when Monica had used one of her strong potions to make him and her servant fall asleep.

She opened the door and a creak was heard from it. This is the man who had saved her in despair. Her savior, that she is willing to do whatever he asks her.

Right now, he looks like a fallen man and is very frustrated. Monica ran towards him, but he had pushed her away, causing her to slump on the nearby wall and then she could feel her broken bones.

Is this the love they are talking about? Why is this so painful?

She stands up and letters start enveloping her body while hugging her, healing her wounds.

"Prince Daniel," she said, and walked slowly towards him and touched his face. Unlike earlier, he seems more stable now. She had used her calming magic and hugged him, singing him into a lullaby and making him fall asleep. "Sleep well, my prince,"

After that, Monica was left alone inside the room and looking into the moon. Perhaps it was fate. The sound sleep of the Prince makes her heart very peaceful.

"Perhaps this is love?" she touches his forehead, reminiscing about those times. That day, the moon shone brightly in the dark sky just like today. The day he and she had met.

Monica Florent, the adopted daughter of the former Baron, who is now a Count, was all taken by the crown prince. She was a great child from the orphanage. When she turned seven years old, her ability to heal manifested.

Under the bright full moon, there is a white tiger that attacked the orphanage. The children and the nuns were already sleeping when they heard the loud roar from outside. The orphanage is made of wood, and he crashes into one of the bedrooms where the children are residing.

"Ah... AHHHHHH!" he shouted like pain, and started crying. Before him was a large white target, with the full moon behind it's back and its cold and blue eyes. The kids started running away, but Monica, looking at her best friend being attacked by them.

"A... Ares!" she said and was about to rush towards her friend who was in front of the tiger, but it was too late when the tiger grabbed the neck of the poor child.

"ARES!!!" she ran towards him with tears in her eyes and grabbed the lamp shade beside her table and started hitting the tiger with it until he let go of Ares. She succeeded, although half of his neck was grabbed and he was losing so much blood. She had gathered all her courage to grab him away from there. But the fight is not yet over.

"Ares, Ares, hold on!" she said and started hugging him so tight. "Don't... don't leave me!" she said and tears kept falling in her eyes. The elders were too afraid to fight, and the knight stationed in the orphanage was on duty to deliver the fresh produce from their farms that night. That was very unfortunate.

"Help! Help us, sister!" she said. And then the tiger turned to her with those blissful eyes full of anger that she had taken his prayer away from him. She was very angry that time that no one had stepped up to help them.

"Ares! Ares! Come, let's go away!" she said, but he kept bleeding.

"Mo... ni... ca..." he says with a weak and pale voice. "Go... leave... me..."

"No!!!" Monica hugged her tight and looked at the tiger in front of her, once again grabbed the lamp shade in front of them. "I will never leave you, no matter what!"

The white tiger is about to attack them again. She knows that she might die too... But she could not leave a friend like that! And she smiles.

"YOU!!!!" she said.

"ROAAAR!" the white tiger jumped to go and attack her, but she faced it head on. When her prince, in shining armor, pierced through his heart, and her heart skipped a bit. He had decapitated the tiger. He looked back at her and she saw his red eyes that were piercing through him and she

He is my... savior...

She could not help but feel her admiration for him now that he had saved her life. She could not stop crying. As if everything was surreal. When she came back to her senses, she looked at the one he was holding down.

"Are you alright?" he asked and she felt the pain throbbing in her ankle because she had suddenly jumped down at the tiger and stabbed it with the lamp shade.

"Prince Ezekiel!" they said and were shocked to see the decapitated white tiger.

A light shone and enveloped them, and all of Ares's blood was tended.

At that moment, Monica knew that she could heal, but she could no longer bring back the dead to life. Prince Daniel was interested in her so that she had made the countryside Baron take her to monitor her abilities. But she became so in love with him, asked blindly follow whatever he asked her to. Until the moment, she was always with him and helped him with whatever he needed to... including healing the animals.

She is an orphan. She had no family, and had no reason to live. The only thing she wanted to was to be of help and support to the prince. Be by his side, and be his wife.

Not until His Majesty the King decided to be engaged with someone from the country side who knew nothing about the hardships country side, and the times they needed to survive together. Someone who only knows how to live and in peace, without regard to who he is truly, someone who cannot support him.

That is why Monica hated Arcana to the core. She was nothing but a nuisance to her. Now she knows. She needed to eliminate her and become the Queen that would support Prince Daniel in whatever he desires to become.

The light of the moon shone on the flawless face of the crown prince of the Empire. Monica brushes her hand against her forehead and left a peck on it brushed his side. Because this is where he is most vulnerable.
