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
King Fabian scanned the crowd who stood before him, his hardened look fixed on the princess and her lover whose strength surprised him. He must find a way to get rid of them completely and he and Suna have come out with the perfect plan which was announced and made the people boil in rage."People of Anedo" He let out in a loud voice, his tone, deep and clear that everyone could hear him even from a distance. He turned to Lilia, who looked down and sobbed, the chains tied around her hand made it difficult for her to move, she just laid still on the ground and wondered what fate had in store for her and Adolphus. "Gathered today is I, King Fabian, King of Sunan and second head of the kings" he introduced with pride in his voice. He turned to Queen Mena who had a sad look on her face her eyes red as she placed a clean napkin on her face, tears rolling down her eyes. King Fabian looked back to the crowd, "Today, I bring to you bad news concerning the health of your king, king Arthur"
The sound of chattering plates were heard along with the whispering of noises. Lilia stood still with her gaze fixed on the dishes as she washed them slowly, her mind far away from her. After Adolphus' execution, she awoke to the realization and cried her eyes out until there were no more tears left to shed. The soldiers drew her into the dungeon and starved her throughout that day. Lilia couldn't eat anything either, her mouth was sore and her heart was bitter. All she could do was stare at space and bite her nails, her head almost running wild with thoughts. "She looks like a slave, poor princess" the voice of a maid nearby accomapined by a burst of loud laughter cut through her thoughts. Lilia didn't say a word but fixed her little strength on the plates she washed, her life didn't make any more sense to her so it isn't worth living. Lilia heard footsteps behind her, she could feel the eyes of someone staring at her, "You stink!" A familiar voice cut her through. Lilia's eyes na
Lilia roared loudly, her body filled with anger as she stared at both men before her. The great light from her eyes brightened the room as both men scanned around in fear as their lips began to tremble. Lilia's face began to transform, hairs began to grow rapidly on her face, her teeth elongated and they became pointy and so sharp that the tip twinkled to the touch of the light. Her ears began to grow longer in the form of a wolf and her fingers grew long and sharp.With a tremendous fury, the chains around her broke into several bits as it scattered round the room which began to shake. Both soldiers looked terrified, they knelt on the as their legs became so weak that they couldn't stand, their eyes in the princess who transformed into a being they have never seen in their life. Lilia roared, her voice loud as thousands of wolf's, shd felt a great strength begin to grow in her, at once she moved her right hand and a great force pushed the soldiers towards the wall and they hit the wa
The hallway to the dungeon was so dark and an awful smell filled the atmosphere. Disgusted, Suna placed a hand over her nose and walked towards the dungeon where Lilia was kept. The soldier led the way and the more they strolled in, the more it became silent and darker. Soon, they approached Lilia's cell, the soldier pushed the gate open and Suna strolled in, her eyes scanned around in irritation. Her gaze rested on the body of the dead soldier and next to him was Lilia who stared at her motionlessly. Suna inspected Lilia and was shocked to find a clean dress over her, she stood confused and wondered who gave her the cloth, anger gently rose in her."So, I can see that you are stronger than you look" Suna asserted and walked slowly towards Lilia, her sharp eyes not leaving the girl who glared at her emotionlessly. Lilia didn't say a word, she watched Suna who came closer to her, their eyes locked and the deep hatred they have for each other grew strongly.Lilia's silence annoyed Su
Wild birds flew around the woods, their loud cry added more sentiment to the atmosphere. The soil was moist and each leaves on trees began to winter down, their dry leaves fell slowly as the time went by. Deep inside the soil, Adolphus laid still, his eyes were tightly shut and his fingers moved slowly in a way that each bone might crack if aggressively moved.A moth crawled on his leg, Adolphus felt the ticklish feeling but stayed mute not moving a part of his leg. Slowly, the moth crawled to his stomach and began to head to his face. At once, Adolphus' eyes opened and he could see clearly in the dark soil. His throat was dry and he felt a string tied around his feet. With raised head, he looked down and realized that a rope was tied around his leg. He could feel his body begin to burn, sweat trickled down his face but surprisingly, he felt no pain and the incident that happened before he fell asleep crept into his mind. The soldiers thought he was dead not knowing his immortality
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
