Good day, everyone! ✨
          	
          	I just wanted to give a quick update, “The Duke’s Reluctant Bride” will be on a short hiatus for now since exams and quizzes are coming my way. But I’ll be back as soon as things settle down!
          	
          	Also… new profile picture again (or technically the second time). If you didn’t know, that’s the Crown Prince of Veridonia, and yes, I’m *very* excited to finally introduce this blonde cutie in the upcoming chapters. ❤️✨
          	
          	Thank you so much for your patience and continued support!

So uhm… I’ll be writing tonight. Hopefully procrastination doesn’t win this time haha.
          
          Tonight I’ll be sharing one of the darkest incidents recorded in Wintermere’s history(It happens 3 years before the story happens). I call this small entry “Wintermere Archives.”
          
          Wintermere Archive Record:
          
          Months prior, Duke Lucien Valenhart commissioned an expedition into the far northern region known as the Dead March, seeking land suitable for further settlement.
          
          The expedition vanished without report.
          
          Several weeks later, a raven arrived bearing their final correspondence, delivered directly to the duke’s council chamber.
          
          Witnesses claim the room fell silent as the letter was read.
          
          From that day forward, no further expeditions were ever authorized beyond the Dead March.
          
          Whatever befell those men remains unknown.
          
          The incident was later recorded in the archives as “Death in the Snow.”
          
          Here is the letter:

Good evening everyone! This week is finally exam week for me (Skull emoji, cuz Wattpad wont let me haha)
          
          Because of that, I won’t be as active on Wattpad as I’ve been the past few days. I’ll still try to update my book when I can, because I feel like my beloved story deserves that much.
          
          Also, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I recently came to the conclusion that the Veridonia arc might end up being the longest arc in the book. There’s just so much to explore there. Veridonia itself is really interesting, and there are still many characters to introduce and stories to tell.
          
          At this point, I’m not even sure if the book will end exactly at Chapter 80, it might go beyond that. With all the worldbuilding we’ve explored so far, it feels like there’s still a lot left to uncover. We’ve seen Veridonia and Wintermere, but what about the other three duchies? (eyes emoji)
          
          No worries, the 3 duchies will not be introduce in my book. That’s why I’m already thinking about the possible sequel to this story. Some of you might remember that I already hinted at who the future MC could be, and honestly, I think she really deserves it. She has a lot of potential.
          
          Anyway, all I’m saying is that I’ll be busy this week because of exams. I might update… or maybe not, we’ll see eheh.
          
          Also, I’m curious about your thoughts. If you ever feel like The Duke’s Reluctant Bride is starting to drag or feel slow, I’d genuinely love to hear your opinion. After all, two heads are better than one.

@ShigureShinyGaze.    Felt the skull emoji because Wattpad's a meanie. 
            
            I'm so far behind on reading, but at least one day when I get the opportunity,  I'll have plenty to read so it's still a win win.  
            
            Best of luck on your exams (sparkles emoji)

Hello everyone!
          
          I just wanted to share that I recently created an Instagram account where I'll be posting some stuff related to my stories, and perhaps some behind-the-scenes thoughts about my writing. I also plan to share visuals, character inspirations, and announcements there.
          
          If you'd like to stay updated outside of Wattpad, feel free to follow me there. I'd really appreciate the support!✨❤️

Good morning, everyone!
          
          I’d like to inform you that I may be less active this week as I’ll be focusing on my studies. We currently have quiz this whole week, followed by exam week next week, so I’ll be dedicating most of my time to preparation.
          
          Thank you very much for your understanding. ✨

Hi everyone! It’s been a while, eheh ❤️✨
          
          I just wanted to give a small update, the next chapter of The Duke’s Reluctant Bride might be a little delayed. I’m doing my best to properly introduce Adeline’s parents and make sure they leave a good impression on you all.
          
          We’re in the Veridonia arc now, yay!, which is the second to last arc of the story. I have a feeling it might end up being quite long… possibly even longer than the final arc eheh. But we’ll see how it unfolds. I just want to give it the depth and attention it deserves.
          
          So yeah, I’ll continue doing my best. ❤️✨
          
          Also, a little reader blabbering from me haha. I recently borrowed Powerless by Lauren Roberts from my cousin. I managed to finish it and had… quite a few thoughts about it. It oddly gave me The Hunger Games vibes, maybe it’s just me!
          
          While it wasn’t fully to my taste in terms of writing style and character depth, I know many readers enjoyed it, and that’s completely valid. At the end of the day, reading is subjective. If you didn’t know, I’m not just an author but also an avid reader, and even when I enjoy a book, my critical side never really disappears (including when it comes to my own work haha).
          
          Anyway, that’s all from me for now. Thank you for always supporting this story ❤️✨
