Witch of the Throne

A hundred years had passed since the war against witches reached its conclusion, leading the Kingdom of Londeve to a century-long peace.
Everything's all well either for the young village baker boy, Tristan who lives a simple life with his two younger siblings not so far away from the country's capital. As ordinary as he might seem, it is not to be expected that he's actually acquainted with the only living royalty residing in his homeland, Crown Princess Anne of Londevè. Even so, their decade-long friendship never brought any significant change in each others' lives throughout the years, and for the humble young man, it is something to be relieved for. However, fate seem to have its own mischievous way of twisting the humble orphan's life.
It was a remarkable encounter that turned his seemingly normal life into a dangerous rollercoaster ride as he got involved with the epitome of misery herself — the manipulative and mysterious lady, Serina Lourdemayne, who has been ironically keeping the peace at the Kingdom as a substitute Queen despite being a witch herself. Will this accidental and unwanted engagement ever reward him? Will they be able to work progressively despite their obvious and huge differences with their loved ones, responsibilities and aspirations in line?
Dive into the world of magic and witness the journey of Tristan and Serina together with the noble Paladins as they protect the Kingdom from the coming calamities and from the new enemies that could possibly be more powerful and sinister than the wicked witches the human race had faced before.

Chapter: Chapter 31 - The Midnight CarverAt a height comparable to that of the night's depth, Tristan's terror and distress reigns over his long history of being in a state of tranquility of choice. He has seen and became enslaved by the Lady's compelling power and dominance beforehand, yet the extremity of his fright this time is immeasureable - rather, boundless. It was all since that door, a few feet away from his face, opened for the first time since his forced arrival. Followed that was the notice - more of a forewarning - was spoken to him by someone he recognized as a staff of the Academia, who said; "Mister Miramond, is it? I have received a message from one of our professors, saying 'the lady is coming for you, consider yourself lucky, and this - an advanced expression of my condolences,' that is all." As heavily hinted by Sherfy's indirect caution, the poor soul immediately decoded the Lady's sentiment. 'She's going to kil

Chapter: Chapter 30 — A Death CaseWith the consent of the Academia's mass-entitled 'Greatest Professor', Tristan was permitted to attend his siblings for the night. Shame to admit, he was quite disappointed that Thea was quick to fall into deep slumber just an hour after his arrival.On the positive side, he was glad she was showing a good sign of adjustment to her new environment.But looking at his brother, he sure had it tough than enjoyable."You seem worn out, Johann. Anything wrong?" Tristan asked, expressing his deep concern towards the miserable and visibly restless state of his younger brother.Johann's first day at the Academia surely did not proceed to his liking. Being completely unfamiliar of mystic arts in general, everything that was laid in front of him contributed nothing but confusion in his mind.Staring blankly at nowhere just a few seconds ago, Tristan's words kicked him off his pensive disposition."Everything is wrong!

Chapter: Chapter 29 — Opposing SidesThea, who has always been behaving as a timid and reserved child, seem to have found the place to bring about the joyful spirit in her. Hopping her way down the streets, the lovely girl has her eyes feasting on the million colours before her. Everything around charms her, as if they glow and shine just for her to see. After a countless store to store halt, the girl took an immediate turn into a flower shop, with her brothers behind her, simply following her lead. Her eyes were gleaming, mouth shaped like a circle, lacking the effort to suppress her awe. At first, she was hesitant to touch a petal she finds fascinating. But as her eyes meet the shopkeepers, earning a nod, her initial energy rose even more. "Brother! Would the Queen Regent like this?" Tristan turned and kneeled to examine the pot of white flowers with a yellow center she embraces in her little arms. "Daisies? Hmm. . I often see

Chapter: Chapter 28 — Heresy and a Dark HistoryThe late morning breeze caressed Tristan's skin with a slight touch of heat as he stroll down the garden's perimeter with Percy. Unlike the other fellow, the conclusion of his forenoon duties did not leave a mark of exhaustion in his face, well at least not today. He spent the night making up for the weeks he was away from his siblings, and slept the night together as they used to. Considering the depth of hell he had to go through for the past few weeks, anyone could tell he is at his best shape now. At the top of that, his mind seem to be at peace. He sighed upon inhaling a good amount of fresh and cold air. "Heard Thea and Johann's already at the Academia. Congratulations, dude, your siblings' are getting a step ahead of us now," Percy walked ahead of him, conveying his sincere words of felicitation. "All thanks to her," Tristan replied with a smile.

Chapter: Chapter 27 — FamilyThe past two days have been real tough for the seemingly hopeless fellow, Kiefer. Having himself defeated by the last minute of his match with the lady named Merloise, he could not feel less encouraged by the news of his possible reconsideration.However, the waiting period deprived him of his opportunity to rest at the midst of the Academia's holiday.With dark circles under his eyes and a ridiculously long face, he stared blankly on the bulletin board two meters away from the bench he is seated on. Much to his knowledge, the news on the Selection's final result must be posted on this notice wall.But the staffs sure are taking too long.This year marks his third and final take on the Selection as a participant, as mandated by the Council. Beyond this, he would have to give his hopes up and search for other professional career to proceed to.The uncertainty and the image of his dearest wo

Chapter: Chapter 26 — Faint Dream"I am not one of them. . my Master was. It was a truth no one at present knows about.""Huh!?""The Witches all came to an agreement that no one shall meddle with the others' businesses. So she had to work behind the shadows and was able to steal their blessings at the cost of her life for breaking the pact. Then, all those. . were passed on to me."Tristan's chest started to get heavy, and his knees were at the verge of folding. It was not his exhaustion that is draining his strength this time. This obnoxious feeling he has towards her, that he thought had long since faded, is coming back to him.'My aunt? She's gentle and kind, believe me. There's nothing to be scared about!' he recalled Anne's voice out of the blue."To put it simply, I . . am the living vessel of the four Witches' blessings combined."***Love, Charity, Courage, Humility, Pledge,
