King Arthur stared at Mena for a long time, his eyes couldn't believe who stood near him, he didn't know what to think. If this is the Mena he fell in love with or the witch that took her place. With shaky eyes, he stared deeply into her blue eyes, they looked calm, gentle and filled with love."Mena" he whispered with a rising emotion in his heart, "Is this really you?" He implored to be sure, this time, he does not want to make the same mistake he made eighteen years ago. Mena stared at him with a smile, her eyes welled up in tears, she couldn't believe that she would be able to stand near the man that she loves, the man who was taken away from her by her sister, her evil sister who has never wanted her happiness ever since they were kids. Mena knows how many sacrifices she has made just for Suna to be happy but she wanted more, even to the extent that she took her love and her child as hers.With affection in her eyes, she held King Arthur's hand and wrapped her fingers around him
The door of the dungeon opened, Lilia looked up and saw Natacha who walked in with a tray of food. She placed beside Lilia who looked surprised, glanced at the food and back at her, "Why did you bring this? And didn't any soldier see you with it?' I asked all at once. Natacha scoffed, she opened a plate and the smell of cooked corn filled my nose. The food looked good too and the sight of it made my mouth water. I watched Natacha as she began to eat, she didn't say a word but ate continuously, her eyes searching my gaze as she ate. Soon, she finished the whole meal, drank a cup of water and smiled, "Now let's start" she announced.I looked at her with firm eyes, did she just bring in her food to make me yearn for it, this girl is unbelievable!Natacha saw the look on my face, she burst out into laughter, "Just look at your fave princess, you should have told me to bring some for you. This is my night portion and I decided to share it with you". She said, I nodded and fixed my gaze
"I won't hurt you and I will do all I can to hurt those who ever laid a finger on you" he whispered and placed a hand on her face, his voice warm and tender. Memories flower into Lilia whose eyes welled up in tears. She lifted her hands to touch him but she was stopped at once. "Don't touch me" Adolphus whispered with love in his voice. Lilia geeked at him, she became speechless, her mouth not able to proceed out once. With a lm expression of want, Adolphus stood up and began to walk away from her. "Where are you going?" Lilia said to him but Adolphus didn't turn to her or answer her question. A tear rolled down Lilia's eyes, "Please don't go" she begged but Adolphus didn't listen. With trickling tears, Lilia ran towards him and at once, she woke up from her sleep, tears rolling down her eyes. The dungeon was silent and cold, Lilia quickly sat up and touched her face, she was crying right from her dream and into reality. The dream felt so real and she can't let go of the look on
King Fabian sat on his throne along with his adviser Donald. His eyes were stern as he listened to the task report by Donald who had his eyes fixed on the scroll in his hands. King Fabian tapped the edge of his throne, his eyes fixed to the throne room door a few meters from where he sat. "My King" Donald said at the end of the report, "The kingdom is going down rapidly on purchase and farm products. Even the cows are refusing to produce milk or offsprings" he announced with worry in his tone. King Fabian didn't say a word, his finger kept on tapping the edge of his seat, different thoughts filled his mind. This shouldn't be happening, everything was going on fine and smooth, why is this happening now.With sharp eyes, he turned to Donald who said nothing but looked at the king, "I don't care!" King Fabian let out in a stern voice, "That is none of my concern right now. I need more money to ruin these kingdoms put together and I don't need the kingdom of Anedo bad luck to rub on my
King Fabian paced up and down with a beating heart. The picture of his dead soldier kept flashing through his mind and he couldn't get the thought off his mind. With sweat trickling down from his face, how lurking eyes couldn't get enough of the reality his mind processed. The door of his chamber opened, Queen Suna walked in, her gaze fixed on the worried king. King Fabian turned to her with a pale face, his expression filled with panic. Surprised to find the king in such a way, Queen Suna touched his shoulder and stood in front of him, her eyes trying to read his mind, "You look worried" she admitted, "What seems to be the problem?" She inquired with eagerness flowing in her. King Fabian let go of her grip and continued to pace around in a confused mind, "I fear that the worst had come" he let out with terror in his voice. Queen Suna didn't understand his words, she walked closer to him and held him hand with a tight grip. King Fabian looked up at her in surprise at her fierce g
The dripping sound of water dripped continuously accompanied with strange noises and a sound of footsteps. Queen Suna walked through the dark tunnel, she had a black cloak on her and its cap over her hair. Her eyes were firm and sharp so that she could see through the dark without the assistant of the fire stick she held in her hand. She strolled deeper into the tunnel, the ground was covered with water which dripped on nonstop, on the walls were insects and moths but Queen Mind was far away from it, all she cared about was her destination and she had to get it all settled before sunrise. Soon, she got to a three paths junction, with a smooth walk, she entered into the first path which was dry and cold. The walls were filled with cobwebs and spiders, as she headed deeper, a ray of light became visible, each step she took could not be heard anymore and a hard but terrifying expression hung on her face. Suna walked into a small room in a circular form, at the center laid an altar that
"Pregnant?" Lilia asked, the word felt like a bomb thrown to her face, her eyes fixed on Natacha who looked stunned herself. "Yes Lilia, you are pregnant" Natacha replied. She held Lilia's hand, touched her pulse and felt two heart beats instead of one. She looked up at Lilia whose eyes held so much awe, Pregnant? She can't be Pregnant! But how? She only mated with Adolphus three months ago and now she is pregnant? Unbelievable!Natacha nodded, "I can feel the heartbeat of two just by touching your wrist. Any witch can confirm that by touching a part of your body where your veins are" she paused, "When was the last time you bled?" She asked. Still surprised, Lilia looked at her not knowing what to say, to her realization, she hasn't bled for three months, at once, the truth dawned on her, she is really pregnant.A joy rises within her, is this what Adolphus is trying to inform her in her dream? Has he come back into the world in the form of her child? The news was so delightful that
The palace was quiet and gloomy, a tense atmosphere filled the kingdom and all servants went on with their daily activities, their heads bowing down and they whispered to themselves in a hush tone. Lilia walked through the long quiet hallway, with lurking eyes, she wondered what was wrong, all servants, including the soldiers looked gloomy and no one wanted to say a word. Lilia got to middle of the hallway, she had a tray filled with dirty plates and cups used by the kind. She turned to her right and a small hallway that led to the queen's room intrigued. Lilia stood still at her spot, at once, she heard whispers accompanied with sobs, her ears were so sharp and sensitive that she could hear the weeping voice clearly and at once, she recognized the voice as Queen's Suna. Curious, Lilia began to stroll down the path that led to the king's room. Something must be wrong somewhere, the palace is way too quiet, dull and with the sobs she heard, she knew at once that something terrible m
