She never forgot that day. The things she felt—the pounding of her heart and tightening of her chest—never left her. It could have been nothing special. Just a meaningless childhood crush, just as many girls her age would experience fleeting moments of romance that were a far cry from the real thing. An illusory taste of love. But for Ruby that feeling did not fade into a sepia-toned memory of childhood passion. It grew. It glowed. Like a piece of aureate treasure, its luster only intensifying with time.

I...have to meet him again. See him. Talk to him. And then...

Slowly, inconspicuously, that singular desire supplanted all others, becoming the very purpose of her life. As she grew older and began to understand the inner workings of the military, she involved herself in the affairs of the Ebony Moon Ministry.

She had to know. The man who saved her that day... What was his name? Was he still alive? She searched the ministry’s records for clues. Progress was slow. It took years, but she finally managed to discover the man’s identity. He was the vice-captain of a hundred man squad, and his name was Vanos.

The hard part was done. Now that she knew who he was, there should be plenty of ways for her to make him her own. The simplest method would be to assign him to the Redmoon’s private army as a supervisory officer. It wouldn’t be hard to pressure the Ebony Moon Ministry into doing so. Knowing her father’s penchant for headhunting, they wouldn’t find it surprising if he were to show an interest in someone of Vanos’s caliber. The proposal should pass with little resistance. Then she could take her time approaching him and building rapport. The profound disparity in social status between them would doubtlessly make for an arduous love. Their marriage would lie at the end of a path fraught with adversity. It didn’t matter though. The flames of her passion burned so hot that she was ready to abandon her house and family if need be.

Ruby’s love was superlative. In preference, yes—she liked big men, the bigger the better—but also in quality. Her love was a fiery one fueled by her very soul. Its heat poured outward in the form of her passionate personality and burned her to cinders within. For love, she would burn to the marrow of her bones.

For now her greatest wish was to have him somewhere close. Within arm’s reach. But her plan did not come to fruition. Before she could act, he was poached by Princess Mia, who pulled him and his entire squad into the imperial guard. The squad had always carried itself as something of a private mercenary company. That, coupled with the fact that the princess already held great sway over its members, meant that even the Ebony Moon Ministry had no choice but to comply. In the end, Ruby was left with the broken fragments of a failed plan, having had the man of her dreams taken from her by Mia.
