Episode 5
Anastasia takes a warm bath and shortly after she has her lunch.
Anastasia
So Veronica where exactly is his residence?
Veronica (maid)
This Residence is located inside the royal boundary in the North. In the south there is the imperial palace where the king and queen resides as you know and in the east there is the palace of crown prince, although most of the time he resides in the imperial palace the East palace was given to him as his own. And the North palace is where the second prince was born and raised
Anastasia
How far is my home from here?
Veronica (maid)
Does her highness already feels homesick?
Anastasia
A lot! I want to go back home.....this place gives off melancholy vibes
Veronica (maid)
That's probably because there aren't many people employed in this palace, on needed number of staffs are there because Prince Leonardo likes Solace and tranquility
Anastasia
Tranquility? That's very opposite of his Nature, I thought he would like chaos
Veronica (maid)
*chuckles* It's good for everyone that Prince Leonardo choose peace upon chaos, or the country would have turned upside down.
Anastasia
He isn't peaceful at all, I heard he is very violent
Leonardo (Second prince)
I think my wife doesn't know the true meaning of peaceful *enters the room*
Veronica (maid)
*bows down*
Leonardo (Second prince)
*dismisses Veronica*
Anastasia
Then why don't you explain it to me? *annoyed that he called her dumb*
Leonardo (Second prince)
If you are weak and choose peace you are not peaceful you are harmless not peaceful
Leonardo (Second prince)
You can be called peaceful only when you are capable of great violence but choose not to do so
Leonardo (Second prince)
*smiles and goes closer to Anastasia*
Leonardo (Second prince)
*picks Anastasia up in his embrace*
Anastasia
What are you doing!!?
Leonardo (Second prince)
Loving my wife *kisses Anastasia Passionately* I missed you
Anastasia
(I didn't! Just let go of me!)
Leonardo (Second prince)
*kisses her one last time* I am here to tell you something
Anastasia
What? *climbs down from his embrace*
Leonardo (Second prince)
I might be gone for a long time....I'm being dispatched in the ongoing war of Valacia, and I will only come back victorious or wrapped in satin
Leonardo (Second prince)
I know I'm the worst husband as I'm leaving you right the next day of our marriage, but I promise to come back victorious, I will bring glory to you and the empire
Anastasia
*happy inside* (yayy! thank god I won't have to go through those horrible night again)
Leonardo (Second prince)
*cups Anastasia's face* will you miss me my muse?
Anastasia
Yes I will....*lying* (just go away so I can go back home)
Leonardo (Second prince)
*hugs Anastasia* I will try to end the war and come back to you as soon as I can.
Leonardo (Second prince)

Anastasia
.....(why? Why do you love me even though we don't even know each other that well)
Leonardo (Second prince)

Anastasia

Anastasia

Leonardo (Second prince)
You are not allowed to go back home. This is your home so get used to it, if you feel lonely I will hire more maids for you, or you can invite your friends here and host banquets but you can't leave!
Leonardo (Second prince)

Leonardo (Second prince)
*his expression softens* I'm sorry for yelling at you but please understand, I don't want you to leave. I will be in the battlefield and I won't be here to protect you. You will be safe here, inside my palace and when your safety is assured than only I can be in peace
Anastasia

Anastasia

As Anastasia was cursing Leonardo and venting her anger, she hears pecking noises coming from the balcony
Anastasia
