"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
The sound of galloping horses rode towards the palace, a dust of smoke rose as they rode faster, the soldiers' firm eyes fixed on the palace. Soon, they got to the king's courtyard, got down from their horses and walked straight towards the king's throne room, their eyes filled with anger. They flung the door of the king open and strolled in, their heart filled with bitterness. King Fabian turned to them, he was surprised to find more than six soldiers in the palace, at once, his instincts told him that something serious must have happened and he had to take caution. One of the soldiers walked forward as the others stood back and stared at the king. With curious eyes, King Fabian looked at the approaching soldier, his ears itching for words. "My King" he bowed with respect even though his gaze was overwhelmed in pure anger. "Our kingdom is in ruins" he said in a tensed voice.King Fabian sat up, a worried look appeared on his face. The palace is still mourning the death of the p
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
