"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
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.
