"Given that, my face is so ugly that even artists can't draw it," Aegolus explained. He quietly emerged from his hiding location and moved closer to the table where the young lady sat."You startled me!" Arabelle exclaimed, clutching her left chest. She hastily folded the book and got up from where she was seated."Are you leaving already?" the creature inquired, perplexed.The beauty didn't say anything to him and kept walking towards the door. She was nervous every time they ran into each other after the incident in the prince's room. "Look! There is no reason for you to avoid me like that! I know that I am too hideous! I also know that what Alfindi is saying might not happen. Like, who would want someone like me who is the cause of the curse that my own kingdom and subjects encounter right now! I know it too well Arabelle, So please don't avoid me anymore for your already hurting my feelings! I feel like I'm carrying a serious disease that can infect others—""You're wrong! I'm
Arabelle and The Cursed Kingdom Prologue
The skies let loose an extremely loud boom and torrential rain and due to the extremely strong wind, some trees also fell.A powerful storm arrived late at night. The sleeping Arabelle seemed unconcerned. On her forehead, big droplets of sweat started to form. She attempted to move her body but she couldn't . She tried to open her eyes but it seemed something was weighing down her eyelids."S-stop it," Arabelle said, who was now having a nightmare."Ngh," she moaned.The wind was so strong that the window suddenly opened. Arabelle's dark room was lit up like a camera flash whenever the sky emitted a bright lightning.The maiden continued struggling to wake up from her nightmare, who had now started breathing heavily. "What are you doing?" Arabelle asked as she slept, tears running down from her cheeks."This is for your own benefit," an enigmatic woman proclaimed from her dreams. It had no face and the entire surrounding was fully blurred, making it difficult for her to see who it wa

"A sharp pointed arrow aiming at a white as snow Scandiaca Owl Bird flying across the pantone cerulean blue sky, it strikes into the bird's right wing lesser coverts, causing it to drop like a stone.The young man hurriedly rode his horse in the area where the bird had crashed, only to be startled by the sight of an injured young woman holding the arrow he once used to hunt the bird. "Are you the owner of it?" her tone was full of hatred. She showed the arrow before snapping it in half with her left hand alone.The young man quickly rode off to his horse and grabbed his handkerchief and ignored her words. "My apologies,I didn't mean to hurt the Guardian of Birds… Scandiaca," he expressed his regret.The young woman's rage was replaced by astonishment as a result of the concern shown. The man approached him and bandaged her right arm wound with a handkerchief. "I hope you don't mind," he said politely. "My name is Aegolus, second son of King and Queen Flammeus." "Could you tell me wha
Arabelle and The Cursed Kingdom Chapter 2: Cast Of Hawks
Arabelle's entire body aches and she feels disoriented as she half-awoke to the sound of wings fluttering and birds of prey chirping. She was finally jolted awake by a loud snap.She found herself sprawled out on the muddy ground. Arabelle sighed and rolled her eyes at the entire section. She discovers she's inside the dead branch pile. There is darkness, and only the moonlight acts as a source of light.Arabelle was confused as to why she was there. The sudden rustling of the branches surrounding her as if someone or something had purposefully cut them off with a sharp object was one of her wonders. Her gaze followed every crackle, and the quicker her heart pounded on twitter. She could hear a noise coming from behind, in front, on both sides, and above her. Whatever creatures were outside seemed to be surrounding her.As the crackles abruptly stopped, Arabelle exhaled a sigh of relief. She clutched her chest and took a long breath to calm herself down. However, the crackles reappear

"It's been three days since she got here but she still hasn't woken up, it's bad for her health to stay in this kind of environment." Arabelle heard a conversation from outside when she regained consciousness. The beauty sat on the bed and looked around, seeing only an old wardrobe and a wooden window. She cautiously took off the blanket and lowered her feet to the ground. Her eyes widened as she noticed that the wounds and scars on her body were all securely bandaged."Grandpa, sh—she's already awake!" a voice yelled from nowhere, causing Arabelle to look at the door right away. Her eyes grew even wider when she saw a creature that resembled a chick having huge wide eyes and had a fluffy body, covered in thick gray feathers and as big as a 10yrs. Old child. It ran outside in a hurry.Heading in the direction of the room where she was, she heard both sprinting and strolling footsteps. "Slow down Gretel, you might trip!" an elderly baritone voice warned.The footsteps suddenly stoppe

Grandpa Mago and Gretel looked up at the flying clamator (Owl soldier) carrying Arabelle, Ulula was also flying with them. It took two days for the prince to respond to their request letter, in which the citizens wanted Arabelle to temporarily live in the palace to protect her from the evil Guardian."I will miss the Dear Priestess grandpa," Gretel sobbed as she hugged Mago's feet."Don't be sad, Gretel; we will all miss the Priestess, and don't worry, we will visit her at the palace the next day," Mago said as she stroked her granddaughter's fluffy back.Gretel's sadness was alleviated by her grandfather's words.**************************Arabelle, on the other hand, forced herself to open her eyes, despite her fear, to see the beautiful scenery below; even though the entire community is covered in darkness, its beauty cannot be hidden, the lights that come from the market, homes, and other infrastructure in the entire area look like fireflies, and the overall capacity of the commun

"And what do you think you're doing here?" an enormous feathered creature with flaming enraged eyes asked, his voice deep and terrifying.It let out a terrifying squawk, accompanied by a flash of thunder from the sky. Arabelle screamed in terror. The fear on the beauty's face is indescribable. The atmosphere of the entire surroundings changed when the creature's earlier angry squawk was replaced by chuckles. He couldn't stop laughing at Arabelle's terrified expression; he had planned to scare the beauty from the moment she entered his room.The monster laughed at what he was doing. "If you could only see the look on your face... Ahhhhhh!" he screamed like how Arabelle screamed. He was holding his stomach from laughing so hard.The young lady was taken aback by the creature in front of her; her heart was pounding so fast with fear that she almost peed when it squawked so loudly. Her knees were still trembling."You're so scared," the creature teased, laughing.The floor shook as a resul

"A tuberose represents arousal, lust, and obsession with another person; it may indicate that the person who gives it is struggling to let go of someone or experiencing stronger emotions than she/he had anticipated," Aegolus explained as he examined the flower in his left claw."I thought she wanted to be friend with me? But it appears she wants something more," the Prince thought seriously to himself. "Maybe she was fascinated and fell for my charm when we first met, which is why she wanted to make out—" He didn't finish what he wanted to say when he felt his entire face heat up and hurriedly covered his beak in shame with his left wing.*****************************Arabelle, on the other hand, nearly passed out from embarrassment at knowing the flower's unpleasant symbol."I admire your bravery, Dear Priestess; you gave His Highness the tuberose, which symbolizes intercourse," Vaste said astonishingly, admiration on the bird's face."Vaste, watch your mouth!" Ulula admonished."It'

"That bird! What's the matter with him? Did he bump his head somewhere else, making him back to his grumpy old self?" Arabelle grumbled to herself as she picked up the flowers scattered on the floor. She tried talking to the two clamators, but they still wouldn't allow her to pass.After collecting the flowers, the lady glared at the two birds, causing them to flinch, before turning her back on them and finally leaving.Prince Aegolus, on the other hand, eavesdropped from outside the door. As he heard Arabelle's footsteps getting farther, he smirked."Seriously, what are you up to?" Alfindi inquired, perplexed. Looking back at the prince, who was making his way back to his table."Nothing, just teaching someone a lesson," the bird replied. "Lesson?""Uhumm! A lesson that will teach her that caring for some stupid strangers—""Will make you jealous...so she should stop caring about others and start caring about you," Alfindi interrupted."Yep! That's right!... Wait! What? Jealous? No,
Arabelle and The Cursed Kingdom Chapter 8.2: Jealousy, Jealousy
"My head," Verräter declared as he felt the back of his head with his right wing. He felt a liquid fluid and realized it was blood.He looked around and noticed the smashed cave walls. There are also crushed trails on the ground. He kept gazing around till he noticed someone was missing."Priestess?" He hurriedly jumped up when he noticed Arabelle was not there. "Where did she go?" the creature inquired. He was ready to look for the maiden when he heard an authoritative voice."Seize him!" A bird landed on his back before he could respond. With its sharp and pointy battling claw, it cornered his neck by pressing his head against the ground. He can't even move since this bird is still standing behind him, grasping both of his wings, making it impossible for him to flap them."And where do you think you're going?" Klaos inquired, but Verräter remained silent."Where did you hide Arabelle?" The prince's broad voice resonated around the cave.A sneer appears on the culprit's beak."Spea
Arabelle and The Cursed Kingdom Chapter 8.1: Váhypták
Prince Aegolus was sleeping and hanging upside down from the broken chandelier when he was startled awake by a familiar presence inside the castle."This magic!" He thought to himself."I can't be wrong... Stygius!" His eyes widened.The bird flew outside his room and began to roam. He looked around the castle for the owner of that magical presence. After failing, the prince was about to return to his room when he noticed white confetti scattered on the floor of the first floor corridor near the stairs.He swooped down and landed in the vicinity. The bird examined it more closely."It looks familiar," Aegolus observed. When he reflected on where he saw these scattered little flowers, he realized it was the flower he had left on Arabelle's terrace."Oh no—" He was cut off by Vaste's shrill scream from the priestess room."The priestess had gone missing!" Ulula exclaimed.The prince's nerves tingle with rage when he hears those words."Klaoss!"Behind Aegolus, a 7-foot-tall general clama

"Aegolus," the wind whispered from the direction of the woods, stopping Aegolus from speaking.Alfindi, his interlocutor, was also baffled."Your Highness, what's the matter?" inquired the louse."Did you hear that?" the Owl asked solemnly."Which one, your highness? The loud pounding of your chest?" Teasingly, the louse rested his head on the Owl's neck, as if listening to the bird's heartbeat. The creature's words caused Aegolus' brows to furrow."Would you like me to pop you? You seem to have forgotten what kind of creature you are," the Prince cautioned. The louse quickly removed its head from the neck of the bird."I'm sorry, Your Highness...hehe!" Alfindi laughs awkwardly.The Prince was about to say something when he heard a distant scream. He moved his gaze to the window, which overlooked the woods."Arabelle," the Prince said.The creature's calm orange eyes had been replaced by alert ones. Chills spread quickly throughout its body. The bird's previously suppressed concern was
