    LOL - yep he falls for her hard. Thanks so much for the above! There are so many side stories too. I've already read the ending. Right now I'm trying to make sure on keeping the plots correct as there is a lot happening. We're going to start the Empress arc which is pretty hilarious AND where they will finally kiss and it is hot! Of course with a lot of fluff.

    Also we'll get more into Lycans, more of Marquez's background and the competition between Lydia and the rest of the concubines.

    @lunafreya - yep

    Oh wth...I have some time before work starts. This next section is pretty darn cute and hilarious at the same time.

    In our previous chapter, Lydia confesses if she were to find her dream man it would be someone like Marr. Lydia goes into describing his handsome face and all Mar can respond with is an "...I see." :hmm: Lydia is still admiring how handsome he is but quickly snaps out of it and tells herself I can't think about his beauty, I've got to fix this situation.

    Lydia asks Marr does he have a lot to pack. Marr ask why? Are they going for a picnic as it's dark outside. Lydia informs him they are going to make a run for it right now!:notlikeblob:

    So Lydia and Marr are walking in the dark (well Marr is walking, Lydia is stumbling around in the dark and Mar is catching her), she's happy and tells him she's glad he's with her and Marr get's stiff and is very silent. :blobjoy:

    As they are walking Lydia asks what Marr will do when he gets his freedom. Marr responds he doesn't know and she asks where he's from. He pauses and says "Genovia" (Jamie's kingdom...:blobrofl:). Lydia now worried that she won't be able to see him anymore offers that once they escape suddenly proposes they should live together!

    Marr chokes.

    Lydia then asks if he doesn't like the idea. Marr comment that he doesn't hate the idea.

    Then Lydia continues to keep it as friendship she mentions it's okay even if one of them has a spouse. Marr is startled and asks her what she is talking about. :blobunsure: Lydia comments that he's an aristocrat and as one, he will be expected to marry. Marr gets angry going about why the hell would he marry someone he doesn't know especially since the plan is they're going to live together.

    Lydia get's confused and starts asking if he doesn't like woman or something as she's a woman. Marr looks at her in a complex way and after moment, Marr tells her he's not going to get married (basically to someone else if they're going to be living with each other.) :blob_pout:

    Lydia, being Lydia mistaken his discomfort to recollect how he wasn't impressed with Yurishina at Tulip castle incident, is pretty comfortable around her as friends, ...so...must mean..he has a same sex orientation? Lydia feels guilty for pushing the marriage topic. :facepalm:

    (Yep - our supernaturally strong stalker/pervert/tyrant/servant who seems to be of ghosts, has war trama, is good at slicing things, and is a really good cook is now gay.)

    Suddenly lights and torches appear and Lydia is shocked as this is not a well traveled road. There are guards everywhere. They're almost caught but Marr carries Lydia and they escape back to Lilly castle with his super human speed and strength. Lydia is devastated that security has been beefed up around roads all around the empire and castles so there not way of escaping without getting caught (I wonder if Marr anticipated this...) Marr basically tells her to give up the idea of escaping.

    A tired Lydia is determined that if she has to participate she needs to boost Yurishina as the winner.

    Then she recalls a letter that had arrived from her parents, opening it she reads the contents. It basically states that they know she's been selected to participate in the empress contest, they know she's going to fail because she has been a hermit for the past 3 years so they're no way the Emperor will choose her. So don't worry in a month when she's free, her father has lined her up to marry a Baron and it's his 3rd marriage. BTW the Baron owns a very rich mine.:blobastonished:

    Lydia is exasperated at how greedy her parents are and she's also confused as to why she would be free? As she grabs with her other hand the full Empress Selection announcement to read, a shocked Lydia comments the Emperor seems more generous than believed:

    Which that means once an empress is selected all other concubines are free to return to their family and they get compensated.

    Marr who's watching Lydia's reaction approaches her and takes her parents letter in his hand to read and gets angry as he finishes it.

    Lydia who's is now depressed as her dreams of independence flower shop has been crushed due to her parents. She asks Marr what should she do. She's feeling trapped.

    Mar looks at her carefully for a moment and tells her, there's really only one way.

    Lydia:"...really, what is it?!"

    Marr: "Seduce the Emperor."

    :blobrofl::blobrofl:

    A shocked and frantic Lydia sputters how can she do that and Marr tells her its the best plan as she doesn't have to marry some old man, she can be an empress with the power to do what she wants.

    Lydia is skeptical until Marr captures her chin and tell her that he can show her how to capture the emperor. :blobowoevil: (LMAO! Chap. 32 ) Lydia confused and seduced by his face being so close to her and and his beautiful eyes...wonders why he's so confident. Is it because he was a slave to the emperor so he knows the emperor's taste?

    A shaken Lydia feels better when Marr indicates that he'll help her so she agrees. Marr looks satisfied and he notices she is exhausted so he gently pushes her back in bed on a pillow and covers her with a blanket. :aww: Lydia falls asleep.

    The next day, Lydia wakes up and a gorgeous Marr greets her in her bed room with a washing tray and an incredible gourmet breakfast. He's incredibly attentive this section is really sweet. Asking if she's like Apple juice or water first. :aww: Lydia is feeling like she's being treated like some princess.

    While being pampered, Lydia has second thoughts and he tells Marr about them. She's feeling guilty she doesn't want to use him and she thinks it's easier to escape some old man then the emperor in which she knows she won't win. They start to bicker :blobunamused: as Lydia suggest Yurishina should be the winner and she should just purposely loose because she's going to get compensated anyways and she needs that money to open a business. Marr's ticked asking if she's going to fail purposely. Lydia asks him why he's so set on her being the Empress. Marr can't answer and Lydia interrupts saying oh, probably because I could protect you if i'm the empress :notlikeblob:.

    Lydia then asks Marr why he's pampering her all of the sudden as he's not a servant but her friend. Marr states, she's a concubine going for the empress position and he's her only servant and that she needs to come first . The dialog here is really adorable. Lydia likes this gentle servant and strokes his hair telling him he's so sweet, and Marr responds..I'm sweet? and they're smiling after bickering.:blobmelt:

    Lydia comments that she wonders how large the compensation reward will be when she looses.

    The next day Jamie is going over the paper work and the new rules of the Empress Selection has been made by Marquez and his comment is, "This is getting complicated."

    Jamie is confused as he's never seen the current Emperor get involved with domestic affairs and wonder if he planned this wrong. Why is Marquez so interested in the Astra flower and Yurishina 's involvement with the flower. He thought it would be just easy to have Marquez marry Yurishina and he could obtain the secrets but why the drawn out Empress Selection Contest?

    Jamie is worried if Marquez has found about the secret of Astra before he does. He's worried if Marquez does then Yurishina would be no longer needed and he's been trying to probe for any weakness with the current Emperor. Jamie wonders if Astra is his weakness. Jamie also longs to protect Yurishina as his feeling love is growing and he's being careful around Marquez. (Yes, Jamie is scheming) :blobdevil: (I won't go into details on this section as there is a discussion between Jamie and Marquez over the rebellion and their diplomatic relationships)

    Meanwhile - Lydia is being spoiled by Marr constantly as he's bringing her strawberries and cream with another lush breakfast serving. He basically brews teas, takes care of the garden, house chores so she can focus on the empress selection. He starts to deliver food to her in bed:blobmelt: and each day asks her what she would like to eat or is craving. (GAWD its super fluffy:blob_pout:)

    A royal servant knocks on her door and hands here the rules to the Empress Selection. Lydia walks up the stairs and shares the information with Marr.

    There are three parts of the competition that the concubines will be put through and judged by. As you pass each task points will be awarded to the candidates and those on the bottom will start to be eliminated. Lydia associates to a survival game. :blobsweat_2:

    The first task is the Masquerade Ball. Lydia find is ridiculous as to how the Emperor would select or grade a favorite if they're all wearing masks. How do you know if they look good or not? Marr gets annoyed at Lydia's comment of course Yurishina is going to be win this one as she is the most beautiful, asking her why she keeps pairing the Emperor and Yurishina up. She tells him isn't it inevitable :blobwoah:? He challenges her if she's she thinking of purposely failing again and she says no because she reads further in the rules.

    Compensation is based on your rankings. So if you're not sincere in your efforts (that is if you fail purposely) you don't get anything (LOL :blobrofl:) . Also if she wants to get the highest compensation then she needs to get 2nd place. That way she can make lots of money!

    Since the ball is the next day, so Lydia must prepare for an elegant ballgown. She knows has to put in some effort and pass through the 1st gate or she won't make any money. She's looking through her clothing and she can't find any ballgowns that are elegant and white. Marr looks at her wondering what the heck she's picking nd then corrects her saying the Emperor's favorite color is black not white. Lydia asks Marr, are you sure?! He's dead serious and Lydia realizes she was duped and she's mad at herself because she had rewarded Sarah with jewelry.

    Marr explains the emperor likes to wear black clothes because it's easier to hide from common enemies. :blobrofl:

    Marr further explains that the Emperor prefers not to be noticed and that you can't see the stains of blood on black and also because the former emperor wanted that way. Lydia starts to feel sympathy for the emperor who had to always be in battle..."....you poor thing":blobsweat:

    Lydia starts to feel more conflicted about this Emperor as she hears more sympathetic stories about him but she stops her self from thinking this as she looks at Marr who is still a prisoner of the Emperor so he can't be a good guy. :blobupset: So Lydia decides to wear the gorgeous black dress that had been delivered at the last monthly supply drop.

    Lydia puts on the dress for the ball and needs help tying the dress ribbon and asks Marr. Because the dress exposes part of her shoulder and back, Marr has extreme difficulty performing the task and Lydia wonders why he's so nervous and why it's taking him so long. He ends up saying he has to leave and make diner leaving a shocked Lydia who realizes her dress ribbon is still untied. :blobrofl:

    We're at the ball and Lydia finally arrives, she's so nervous that she almost falls out of the carriage. :sweating_profusely:

    When she enters everyone there gasps and suddenly Lydia finds herself immediately the center of attention as everyone stares at who is the lovely blonde in a black dress. Many of the concubines and other noble attendees are completely jealous as they wanted to know why they didn't think of wearing the color black to stand-out. Men are looking at her with interest as well. Lydia is completely flushed as she is not used to this much attention but no one approaches her. :blobsob:

    Feeling conscientious, Lydia grabs a glass of champagne to feel relaxed and walks around when suddenly she catches the glimpse of someone else dressed all in black. Lydia realizes its Princess Yurishina who also is looking stunning and then Lydia gulps realizing that Yurishina is looking straight at her with curious eyes. :blobfearful:

    I hope they will get their right punishment. I really hate betrayer tho.. Even maybe they has their own reason but so far jamie will betray marquez bcs of his love for yurishina not even for his country.
