Dust rose up in the sky as the horse galloped faster as it could. Mena gazed around, she wore a black cloak which was placed over her head to disguise her face. No one must see her and staying hidden would be the best to avoid suspicious looks from people. She galloped towards the kingdom of Sunan, her sharp blue eyes fixed to the direction where she went, the thought of king Fabian holding her brought sparks to her body and she couldn't wait to have him around her. To her, her husband, King Arthur isn't compared to king Fabian who is her secret lover and making him get what she wants is her priority.The horse got to the gate and immediately the soldiers sighted her coming, the gate of the kingdom flung open and she rode in, the cloak still over her head to disguise herself. She galloped towards the palace as the sun shone brightly on her beautiful skin.She got into the palace in no time, walked into it and strolled towards King Fabian's chamber, she knew her ways around the palace
Hundreds of soldiers rode faster as they headed towards the kingdom of Sunan as a great dust rose as they galloped on their horses. They got closer to the kingdom gate and at the sight of the approaching soldiers, the soldiers guarding the gate swiftly opened it and watched them as they rode in, their faces firm and serious as there was no sign of friendliness in their eyes. They got towards the palace and found king Fabian along with Prince Philip waiting patiently for them at the palace courtyard. The soldiers got down from their horses with swords in their hands as they waited for the king to order them. King Fabian stared at them with harsh eyes, he studied each soldier one after the other as he walked around the large courtyard inspecting each soldier. These were the soldiers sent to him by the sixth kingdom, all kings were in support of him invading the kingdom of Anedo due to his promise which is just his bait to get what he wants. King Fabian walked back to his former posi
A cold wind blew violently as trees were shoved out of their roots and flew around, hitting the ground and pieces into several pieces.Lilia looked around with confused eyes, she couldn't understand where she was, no matter how hard the trees were uprooted by the strong wind. As they got close to her, a powerful power broke them into several pieces, pieces flew everywhere accompanied by a tremendous earthquake that didn't affect Lilia. Lilia strolled deep, a deep dark fog overwhelmed her and she couldn't see a thing but her instincts guided her, she kept on walking not knowing where she was or how she got there, everything stood like a mystery to her, nothing else was heard except her breathing.Suddenly, Lilia heard a faint sound behind her, her hearing was so sharp that she could hear it quickly and swiftly. She turned back but still thick darkness surrounded her."Who are you?" She cried out in a loud tone, her throat ached as she scareamed. Her sharp eyes flickered around the dar
The woods were silent and the only thing Lilia could hear was the rustling sound of leaves. She walked closer towards the two women whose eyes pierced on each other.Avena Adolphus' mother gently pulled down the cloak from her head, her long black hair revealed but her eyes were so stern and filled with concern."Mother" she acknowledged with a slight bow. The older woman stared at her for a long time, she had so much evil in her eyes and her right hand held a broom as black as her gown. Her hair was also black just like her daughter but there was a bit of grey at the side which represented her old age. "You will give birth to the child present in your womb in the next full moon, is your husband aware of this?" The older woman asked, her voice was as harsh and hard as her facial expression.Avena glanced at her stomach, she placed her hand on it and gently rubbed it. With worried eyes, she looked up at her mother, her eyes held words that her mouth couldn't proceed out, "No mother" s
Adolphus stared at Lilia's lifeless body, panic in his eyes. He glanced at the open wound in her stomach where she was stabbed, with pain, he cursed himself for not being there on time. With blurg eyes, he twisted his fist in anger, "No!" He screamed and threw a strong blow on a table nearby which fell into pieces by his uproar.Panting, he glanced back at Lilia who lay still , it's been two days since her attack and not even a part of her body moved, she wasn't even breathing and the thought of losing her shattered his heart. He won't be able to forgive himself if she dies, he will prefer to go with her because right now, he realized how attached his heart is to this human, a lady he fell in love with at first sight but the anger in him prevented him from realizing it from the beginning. With his gaze on her, He sat beside her with eyes welled up in tears. He just can't live without her, his heart was breaking and he wished she could open the ocean eyes of hers he wanted to dive in
Queen Mena strolled down the hallway, the sound of her footsteps echoed down the quiet hallway as there was no sign of maids around. With hard eyes, she fixed her gaze to the king's chamber. It's been two days and Lilia has been away from the palace. Right now she is too busy to look for a princess who decides to run away from the kingdom as she pleases. With a scoff, she got to the door of the king, the soldier opened and watched as she walked in.King Arthur heard footsteps in his room, he was so weak to look up and he felt a cutting pain in his stomach. He groaned in distress, his lips trembling as he gasped for breath. Queen Mena stared at her husband's almost lifeless body with disgust. Why isn't he dead yet? The kingdom will be invaded tomorrow evening and he should have been dead by this time. She couldn't wait to rule with the man she loves, king Fabian of Sunan. A real man who knows how to pleasure her the best way her body earns, just the thought of his touch on her skin a
Lilia and Adolphus walked into the palace which was unusually quiet. Confused, Lilia scanned around the large and long hallway, there was no sign of a maid or a soldier and a strange feeling overwhelmed Lilia that instant. Adolphus glanced at her and noticed the concerned look on her face. He himself knew that something dangerous was about to happen but he could not place it. "Something isn't right, '' Lilia muttered as they strolled towards the throne room. To her surprise, she found no soldier at the door, she glanced at Adolphus and looked back to the door, impatiently, she flung the door open and found the throne room empty, her father wasn't in. Filled with worry, she ran out of the throne room and ran towards her father's chamber, Adolphus followed her with ease, he could sense danger approaching. With a pounding heart, Lilia pushed the door of her father's chamber and at the sight of her father, her heart dropped."Father!" She screamed and ran to him, he looked lifeless, p
Lilia sat still, the cold dry ground made her body shiver as she kept mute in the darkness of the dungeon, her face soaked in tears. She could feel cobwebs all over the walls and ants slowly climbed her legs. The dungeon was covered in dust and an awful smell filled her nostrils. With puffy eyes, she sniffed as tears found it hard to come out, her heart died from pain and bitter anguish. Her hair covered her face but she didn't care, her mind, thought and life is a mess now and she wondered what could have happened to her father and Adolphus. A tear rolled down her eyes accompanied with more bitter tears that broke her heart. Everything the woman who she has always seen as her mother said was so shocking for her to believe. She knew that she has always had this connection with Mama Gunad right from the first time she went into the village. As a little girl, she walked through a small hut in the royal carriage, the door was opened and she saw young children her age surrounded by an o
Adolphus' eyes flung open as his mouth let out a loud gasp. His eyes flickered around the darkness that was around him. He felt his body locked up in something and he couldn't move his body. An offensive odor clung into his nose, Adolphus turned to his side and saw a dead corpse next to him, the decayed flesh stuck to his nose. Disgusted, he realized that he was inside a coffin and he wondered how he got in there. With all his strength, he pushed the lid of the coffin which opened at once and fresh air flowed into it and clung firmly to his nose. At once, Adolphus got out of the coffin and stared around, the cave he was put in was dark but at the entrance, he saw six soldiers running towards him with sharp swords in their hands. A tremendous anger flushed through Adolphus, he roared at them mighty and at once his body transformed into that of a wolf. With fear in their eyes, the soldiers dropped their swords, one fell to the floor and passed out at one. The rest ran away but were
Lilia sat still with trembling eyes, it had been an hour since Adolphus was taken away by the queen and her soldiers. Her heart beat faster than ever as she wondered what would have happened to Adolphus, the thought of losing him broke her heart and she couldn't stop crying uncontrollably. Suddenly, She heard the clicking sound of the dungeon gate, Lilia turned and saw a tall figure approaching her in the dark. She narrowed her eyes and stared with sharp eyes, her heart wondering who this stranger was. Soon, the face of the figure became clearer, a few feet away from her was her mother Mena stared at her daughter with pitiful eyes. Lilia stood up and glared with fixed eyeballs,"Mother" she muttered and watched her walk closer to her. Lilia stood looking confused, her mother did appear to her a while ago before she stopped but her entrance today was strange to her. Her mother teleported just like most ghosts do but this time, she came through the dungeon gate with eyes filled with so
Lilia stared at the figure before her, she blinked her eyes severally to be sure that she wasn't dreaming this time but each time she opened her eyes, she stood before her, with pain in her eyes. Adolphus stared at Lilia, pain filled his heart at just the look of her, she looked starved, beaten and maltreated and just her condition added more anger running blood and all he just wanted was to kill those who caused her so much pain. He stared at her non-stop, his heart raced faster and all he wanted right now is to hold her close and miss those lips of her. "Lilia" he muttered again and ran towards her, his hands all over her in a warm embrace. Regardless of her look, Lilia still had the wonderful scent in her. He closed his eyes firmly, pain, happiness and agony filled his heart. "Lilia" he whispered softly, his hand stroked her hair lovingly and he placed kisses on it, a tear slowly rolled down his eyes. At first, Lilia stood still under his embrace, his scent filled her nose and w
King Arthur glanced at his reflection, his eyes fixed on his body that was fully ready to take back the kingdom from the hands of king Fabian. Today is the day justice will be served and the kingdom of Anedo can return back to the way it once was, not just with a king and a witch wife, but a king with the woman of his life, the one he will forever live till death overshadows him. King Arthur stared at himself longstop,his glare became hard and brutal and anger flushed through him. His judgment on all who betrayed him and harmed his daughter will be difficult for any human to pass through. He won't let his family be taken away from him anymore and the realization of him becoming a grandfather brought hope to his shattered heart. King Arthur heard footsteps behind him, he turned back and saw Mena approaching him with a worried look on her face at once, his heart skipped a bit and he wondered what news she had but with the look on her face, he knew that they were not going to be pleasa
A loud cry of horses rode deep into the woods, the sun was setting but the soldiers rode further, none of them dared to go back to the palace without the prince even if it meant for them to stay in the woods for days. The rusting of dry leaves echoed as the horses trampled on them violently, the soldier's eyes lurking around the dark woods that were covered in trees and dry leaves. "We must get to the prince as soon as we can, do not leave any stone unturned" one hefty soldier roared at the men who ran behind him. They all had swords in their hands just in case they come across any wild animals or the wolf that took the prince captive. Soon, the sun set and the woods became dark and quiet, quickly, the soldiers lit up their fire sticks which gave them way through the dark path of the woods. An owl flew past them, his howl alerted them as they fixed their gaze on the departing bird. There was no sign of the moon or stars and a black cloud covered the sky. One of the soldiers moved a
Four soldiers ran breathlessly into the palace, they had sweats trickling down their face and their eyes embowed in fright. The bright sun shone violently down on earth and the smell of red wine filled the air The maids around the palace courtyard stared at them with confused gaze as they wondered why the men looked dirty and came running like they were being pursued by someone. The door of the throne room opened widely and all soldiers burst into the vast room, their eyes fixed on King Fabian who turned to them in surprise. At once, the soldiers got to their knees with their heads bowed down in respect."My King" one of the men said in between breaths, his hand on his chest as his eyes wailed in fear. King Fabian studied their faces, the look on their faces were very alarming and at once, he knew that something dangerous must have happened. With his sight on them, King Fabian quickly recognized them as the soldiers who accompanied his son, Philip, to the 6th kingdom. He glanced a
The moon shone brightly in the sky, wood insects chirped nonstop and the howling sound of a nearby owl added a more tense sensation to the woods. Philip tossed to get comfortable on the ground, his head placed on the tree, as he tossed, a mosquito flew past his ear, irritated, he shoved it away, his eyes still closed in the most uncomfortable sleep he has ever had. His soldiers slept soundly, they were all tired and exhausted. None of them was as uncomfortable as the priest, they are used to sleeping in such places like this and their body is used to it. The full moon shone so brightly on them. Suddenly, Philip heard a sound emitting from behind the tree he rested upon. Scared, he opened his eyes and quickly stood up, the moon provided him with light which made him able to see through. With a beating heart, Philip scanned around the vast area, he saw nothing but bushes and leaves. A loud bird cried over him, Phlip looked up and saw a bird nest, the bird stood on a tree, his eyes fi
Queen Suna was overwhelmed with terror. She at once knew what Natacha wanted to do. No! She won't let it happen, she wants Lilia dead by all means and she only watches and allows this Natacha girl to take the blame."Liar!" Queen Suna roared, "She is a liar, she wants the witch to leave, we won't allow that! This girl isn't a witch! No one should listen to her but get the princess on the stake burned at once" she ordered in outrage. Natacha smiled with pain in her heart, she can allow Lilia to die, she has to die instead because she knows who Lila truly is, her identities as a witch and a werewolf, she won't let such a legendary born die of a sin she didn't commit. "You don't believe that I killed your worthless daughters" she yelled to the crowd, her motive to make them angry at her, "It was so much fun watching them die" she laughed wickedly, "The tears in their eyes as they choke to death, the look was so satisfying to glare at" she roared. The crowd was becoming tense and filled
The loud crowd roared violently, they eyes fixed on Lilia who was bounded by chains and laid on a stake. Her mouth was covered with a hard tape to prevent her from talking but her swollen eyes trembled in fear as she watched the soldiers surround the stake she was placed on with dry hay. More tears rolled down Lilia's eyes, she can't die this way, she just can't! Her plans, her words and her unborn child will be burnt along with her. She looked at the people's angry eyes, their eyes were stiff and filled with vengeance, they were ready to get her burned as soon as possible but all Lilia could do was lay on the stake with her eyes closed, her heart beating faster than ever. "Kingdom of Anedo!" King Fabian's loud voice echoed through the walls of the palace. At once, the crowd became silent and stared at the king who looked pleased that he was able to find the culprit as fast as he did. "It is a pity and a sad one that the princess of this kingdom isn't just a murderer but a witch" h
