[Ragnar’s ’ POV]My men and I arrived at the location point Duke Monroe had told us to wait. The sun had just set when Philip and a lady with Isabella’s looks arrived at the meeting area. This woman would be Isabella’s mother no doubt. "Your majesty. Greetings to the sword and shield of the Avalon Empire." Philips kneeled before me gallantly. "Rise Sir Philip ." I said. "No need for formalities here."We are currently in the enemy’s territory and are under disguise. Even though this location is remote, we still need to be careful. Philip stood up and presented the woman he was with. "Your majesty, this lady is Princess Isabella’s mother." Philip said. "Greetings to the king of the Avalon Empire." Isabella’s mother curtsied before me. "My name is Diana De Novia, your majesty. I am Isabella’s mother." "It is nice to meet you Lady Diana." I kissed the back of her hand with respect. "I am Ragnar Pendragon, your daughter’s fiancé."Diana giggled. "I have heard many things about you fr
[Ragnar’s ’ POV] My men and I galloped at a fast pace towards the Genevan palace. The twenty minutes travel time by horse was shortened to between ten to fifteen minutes. The palace walls were seen by a distance. ’I am nearly there Isabella .’ I said inwardly.My eyes were surveying the palace walls for an entrance. Philip had told us about a hidden passage way in the palace walls hidden with thick bushes. He has told me that the indicator was cypress trees lined in one side of the palace walls. I started to search for the cypress trees but what I caught was a collapsed portion of the wall. "Your majesty, right there..." Kyler pointed out the collapsed side. "Yes I see it." I said.From where we are right now, we can see a very huge collapsed side of the palace wall. Judging by the size, there must have been a huge explosion that could have destroyed such a tall and thick wall.By that time I had a flashback from two years ago. It was the time when Isabella and I were to embark fr
I started to step forward where the battle is raging. My men were fighting the palace guards of the queen. They may be many in number, but my men are Spartans that can use magic in a fight. My men were at an advantage in the battle, for now.I looked at the Genevan palace that was near here. I have heard that its walls are made with Titanium rocks. With the distance from here, I thought we cannot use our magic abilities but for some reason we can. ’Was it because of Isabella’s outburst of her magic power?’ I thought to myself. But whatever the reason was, we can use our magic and that can be an advantage.But there were disadvantages as well. The queen can use her magic as well. She was using her magic to suppress my men that were standing on defense rather than offense. "Secure our defensive line." I ordered. My men heard my call and saw me stepping in the battlefield.When they saw me, their bravery shone I their eyes. Seeing their commander enter the battlefield gave them a boo
Queen Fiona embedded her sword with her magic and it glowed violet. I was able to see her first strike and was able to dodge the blade in time. But I was surprised that there was a fresh scratch on my left cheeks and was bleeding. ’Her attacks are not normal.’ I thought to myself.As I know so far, Queen Fiona has gravitational magic and can use it at ease. Looking at where I was standing a while ago, a huge slash mark was seen on the ground. "Your magic may have doubled in power with the use of the pendant, but I won’t be behind." Queen Fiona said. "I am a pure blooded royal of Sparta and my magic won’t be weak against yours." She again launched an attack against me, this time I was able to block her sword with mine. The force of our magic clashing against one another created a wave of force that made the surroundings blown away like there was a storm passing. "For an old lady, you are good." I gave the queen a sarcastic compliment that clearly infuriates her. "How dare you!
But before I was able to plunge my sword to her body, I felt danger behind me. When I looked around a volley of arrows came raining down upon me. I use my sword to block the arrows that was nearly upon me and burn the other upcoming arrows with my fire.Because of the endless rain of arrows, I was pushed back. That was when I realized that there was a huge distance from me and the queen. "Tch." I felt irritated. This was the enemy’s true intention, to separate me to where the queen was.Out of nowhere,a group of knights came to defend the queen. The high priest that took the crown prince away has come back with reinforcements. "Do you think you can stop me from killing that b*tch?!" I said with anger. I threw a huge fireball towards them but before it reached the queen’s location, the knights that stood in defense used water magic to block my fire ball.I was surprised to see that they were able to stop a huge fire ball that I have made. With my power up, it was much bigger than
[Isabella’s POV]I opened my eyes when I felt the brightness of the sun. I was lying in bed inside a small unfamiliar room. I slowly sat down and felt my body sore and aching."W-What happened?" I said to myself.I was still disoriented and held my head that was feeling an upcoming headache. I inhaled and exhaled, trying to remember what had happened. That was when I remember the arrow that pierced my shoulder.’Was that real?’ I was frantically remembering.I remember trying to escape from the Genevan palace with Bob. But before we were able to escape, a volley of arrows rained from above us. I thought I would die that time but to my surprise, Camila used her body to shield me from the arrows. "No..." I said. My body was shaking with the memory.My half sister Camila, just when we were trying to mend our relationship, she died blocking the arrows meant for me. I remember Camila’s body was pierced with numerous arrows and I lost control over my magic powers seeing her breath her last
Ragnar’s touch was gentle that it made my skin crawl with pleasure. "Ahhmm...E-Erik." I felt my body heat with just his touch. "Your body has matured beautifully." Ragnar said. His face was flushed with desire.Ragnar at first was massaging my breast gently but then I felt his face came closer and took one of my mounds into his mouth. "Ahhhh..." A moan escaped my lips once I felt the touch of his lips on my breast. "E..Erik...hmmm...no..."Ragnar’s tongue played with my nipples while his mouth sucked on my breast. I remember this sensation once in our engagement party, when he inhaled the aphrodisiac incense Helena bought for him.Ragnar’s hands started to caress me, and the other one started to wonder down my body. His hand started to caress my thighs and in-between. "Ahhhmm...haaa...E-Erik no..." I tried to resist his advance thinking that this room might have thin walls. "W-What if they hear." "Don’t worry. Nobody will dare listen to us." Ragnar smirked and then started to suc
The entire day I was on bed resting to regain my depleted power. Two years ago, when I had the same outburst of my magic, I was unconscious for half a year. It is fortunate I did not need the same amount of time to recuperate and woke up just after a few days.The day has gone by quick and Regaleon never left my side. We talked about lots of things, we needed to catch up on the two years we were apart. I was lying on bed while he was sitting beside me. Our hands are intertwined with one another all day long that we both did not want to let go. "Are there any news from Geneva?" I asked him. "What happened to Bob and Duke Monroe’s men that helped steal Queen Fiona’s pendant?" I was worried about the people that were left in Geneva. I am sure that Bob did not come with Ragnar’s men because if he did, then he would have also come to see me as soon as I woke up. "Before escaping, Kyler saw the injured Bob." Ragnar said. "Bob was able to give the pendant he stole from the queen to Kyler,
