I was running around searching the vicinity of where Ragnar might be. All around me were Ragnar’s knights fighting the enemy."I have to find him." My heart was racing rapidly.Remembering my dream, Ragnar was fighting with a man with black robes and I wasn’t able to see his face. But judging by the circumstances, Ragnar might be facing Darius in person.Darius was the one behind this ambush just to get me. He knows he can’t get me while Ragnar is still alive. For sure he would face Ragnar himself because he is the only one that can do so. I was frantically searching the area but still can’t find Ragnar. "Where might you be, Erik?" I was getting frantic by every minute.In my dream Ragnar was able to handle his opponent with his master sword skills. What I am afraid of is that Darius was like me, a Spartan of royal blood. For sure his magic abilities are like mine or maybe even stronger. And remembering the arrow that pierced Ragnar on his back, just by remembering it sent chills up
I turned around fast and tried to stop the arrow but my magic isn’t working. I see Ragnar was struck by the arrow on his chest. I see him fall down on his knees. "NOOOO!!!" I shouted in agony. It felt like my heart had burst open, it felt so painful. "You really are something." Darius said with a smirk. "You evaded the arrow that was about to strike your heart. But no matter, because you will fall down by my sword."Ragnar was still breathing but heavily. I can see blood coming out from his mouth. Hope blossomed in my heart. The arrow didn’t hit his heart. Ragnar looked my way and our eyes met. He gave me a comforting smile and worded me something. "I love you." Ragnar said. I might not have heard his word because of the distance but I read his lips say that.Darius lifted his sword and pointed it towards the kneeling Ragnar before him. "Die, crown prince Ragnar of Avalon!" Darius yelled. "STOOOOPPPP!!!" I shouted on the top of my lungs.I want to stop him from striking that swor
[Ragnar’s POV]General Marcus and the crown prince Williams had persuaded me to go back to the palace and get treatment for the poison.Once I was laid down in bed in my previous living quarters in the Wales royal palace, the royal physician Dr Crane was the one that came to look at me. "It’s a wonder that you can still move with this kind of poison in your system." Dr Crane said while concocting an antidote. "This kind of poison is strong and can kill a normal human being within only three hours. You were lucky that I have the necessary ingredients in my possession to make an antidote." "My body has been accustomed to different kinds of poisons since I was young." I replied. "I am immune to majority of poisons." I remember when I was still a child, many of father’s concubines tried to kill me with poison just because my mother was greatly favored by him. They were afraid that I will become a thorn to their sons’ future. Luckily my mother was an expert with herbs and was able to ma
"I will take my leave your highness. I have to relay this news to her majesty and the prince." The maid said cheerfully. "I will be getting some food for you as well. I am sure you are famished after sleeping for so long." "Uh...Wait..." I called out to her but she dashed outside the room and closed the door behind. "Is it really been six months? It has been that long?"I thought about the events that happened before I woke up here. The ambush that prince Darius planned was a major event that can stir problems between the two Kingdoms, not to mention my being here in Geneva against my free will. I am the fiancée of the crown prince of Geneva, kidnapping me can be seen as a major crime between the two Kingdoms. And to think six months have passed after that. "Ragnar must be so worried about me." I said.I walked towards the door and turned the knob. "It’s locked. Heh..." I scoffed.Of course, I was brought here against my will. I was being treated as a prisoner here in my so call
I am currently in a war council meeting with my most trusted generals and advisers. My war council consists of four generals and two of my most trusted advisers.General Mitch and Kelvin were young talented generals that are under my command in the Midnight army. Now that I have become king, I have given them the full authorization to use my Midnight army in this war.General Austin and Gregory were veteran generals that command the royal army of Avalon. They have fought together with my father in the last Great War. I believe in their capabilities and experience in fighting a war.My two most trusted advisers were Austin and Gregory. They are sons of Archdukes in Avalon. Both of them are not heirs to their fathers’ dukedom because they are not the eldest sons in their family, but I have seen their talent and capabilities and handpicked them to be my left and right hand men.Of course Kyler will always be my personal assistant and is my most trusted one of all. He is my shadow, one wh
[Isabella’s POV]I sat down in front of a coffee table near the fire place. I was a little conscious because I was still wearing a sleeping gown while in front of the Queen of Geneva."You, help the princess get dressed while waiting for her food to arrive." Queen Fiona ordered one of the maids that were in waiting. "Yes your majesty." The maid replied and bowed. "Right this way princess." The maid gestured.I got up and followed the maid towards a door found inside the room. Once I entered my eyes went wide with surprise.The room was filled with different kinds of dresses, shoes, jewelries and hair ornaments for ladies. They were arranged neatly by category. I have heard about walk in closets because my step sisters and step mother was said to have them in their rooms back in the Wales Palace. But this is my first time seeing and walking in to one because I never had one of this rooms before in my palace. "What would you like to wear princess?" The maid asked. "I will be here to a
Like I thought, speaking with her won’t do any good. I am really a prisoner here in this country. I have to find a way to escape and send word to Ragnar. "And I think you will not want to leave your mother here, correct?" The queen was smiling confidently while looking at me. "My mother? Is it true that my mother is still alive?" I wavered while hearing about my mother. "Yes, your mother Diana is also here inside this palace." Queen Fiona said. "She is my twin sister that I love. We were lucky that we found her before she breathed her last."My mind was now in turmoil. I am afraid that my face shows what I am feeling right now. I can’t keep up the face of holding my ground just a while ago. "Child, can you hear me out first before branding me as your enemy?" Queen Fiona looked sorrowful. "After that I can send you to see your mother."I nodded slowly after hearing her words. All I wanted to do now is see my mother. "Maybe you know about the last Great War that ended our country o
I was again detained inside my room after the queen left. Many things came into my mind after my talk with her. Firstly, I knew now that this war is her personal revenge on everyone that has hurt her or her family. Second, she was planning to revive the forbidden magic once used by the mad king of Sparta that destroyed the Kingdom and let it sink to the depths of the ocean floor. Third, my mother was still alive.My biggest worry now is the reviving of the forbidden magic. The magic that destroyed an entire kingdom is really frightening. Knowing that it can be used against Ragnar and Avalon made me shiver in thought. "What I need to do now is to know where the queen was in her research about the forbidden magic." I said to myself.My aunt the queen is trying to ’recruit’ me into her side. Being her niece and being the so called ’fiancée’ to his son, I think I can play the part of an ally to her so that I can see what her plans are and to warn Ragnar beforehand. ’in fact, I will make
