"I do not understand" King Zedekiel said to the Mother Tree.

They were standing under the Mother Tree. The wind was mild and her leaves were swaying gently. There was a quiet hum which only the Elves could hear. The Mother Tree was happy to see the King and Queen Mother. It had been so long since they paid her a visit. She excitedly stretched her branches, caressing their faces and hair.

Zedekiel wasn't happy. The Mother Tree was ignoring his statement. "Why did you give that human access to the ancestral burial ground?" he asked. "Why did you touch him in such a gentle manner? Why do you even like him? Have you forgotten what he is?"

The Mother Tree moved a branch and knocked off Zedekiel's crown in annoyance.

Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh. "You know his name. Why don't you just say it?"

Zedekiel frowned as he snapped his finger and his crown flew back to his head, resting softly atop his silver hair. "Fine." He grumbled. "Why did you let Prince Ron in? I need answers because

    "Whoa, she can even make sounds!" he exclaimed. "This tree is really unique."The King and Queen Mother were shocked to know Prince Ron could hear the Mother Tree. Only Elves were supposed to. Was he even human?Zedekiel definitely knew that there was more to human than he initially thought.The Mother Tree was sad that she had forgotten her name and by the looks of it, neither the Queen Mother nor the King could remember. She wrapped her branch around Prince Ron's arm and rubbed herself on his body like spoilt child.Prince Ron laughed. He was very pleased. It was the same umbrella tree he had seen before he fell and lost consciousness. "She's so cute. I feel like I can understand what she's saying. I think she's sad." He patted the leaves with a smile. "Aww don't be sad that you don't have a name. I can give you one."The Mother Tree immediately hummed happily, making Prince Ron laugh.The King and Queen Mother watched, amazed by their interaction. Zedekiel was completely stunned fo

    How could a human be so beautiful?Prince Ron was elated. He couldn't believe he was in his beloved's arms once again. Surrounded by his beloved's unique scent, he certainly didn't want to let go. In fact, he didn't even want to open his eyes for he was afraid to see his beloved's expression, knowing his beloved didn't like him. But when Zedekiel growled, he knew it was time to stop.He sighed inwardly and consoled himself. 'Ah, there there. Don't worry Ron. One day, he'll be the one begging to hold you'. He snickered then raised his head to gaze at his beloved's handsome face.King Zedekiel was wearing a frown and Prince Ron didn't like it so he made a move to step back but Zedekiel's hold just went tighter, refusing to let him go. Prince Ron was confused. Did the cold Elf King just stop him from moving? He thought it was impossible.Thinking he was imagining things, Prince Ron tried to move again but Zedekiel seized his waist, preventing him from moving an inch. Prince Ron winced fr

    Immediately after saying that, Prince Ron snickered quietly for he noticed his beloved was thinking.He huffed and raised his chin, muttering; "Your Majesty, I know it has only been a few weeks since we've been here but you should be able to tell some things about me already. I cannot believe you would even think that of me. I am very angry and disappointed."Admist everything, Zedekiel could only hear one thing. It was clear. The human held no feelings for the Elf Princess in his heart.Zedekiel's heart could finally calm down. His hold on the human's waist eased and he even smiled a little. His sister did not own the human's heart. Being in his arms and still muttering away, Zedekiel couldn't help but find the human cute. To stop his rambling, he said; "My apologies, Prince Ron. I didn't realise you were so capable. I shouldn't have accused you of being in cahoots with the prisoner."Prince Ron "!!!!!!"He felt like he was struck by thunder. His body went rigid and he stared at the

    "But your highness, it is very cold in Netheridge. You can't wear such clothes out!" the bodyguard, Leo said, exasperated. "You're not even feeling well. If you go out like this, you'll surely catch a cold. Your highness, please, reconsider!""Reconsider what?" Prince Ron snapped as he fixed the flimsy robe over his body. "I like this colour. This is what I want to wear and I don't even feel cold. It is my body so what's it to you?"They were within the King's Chambers. Zedekiel had gone to attend to an urgent matter so Prince Ron decided to dress up for his dungeon date. None of the King's clothes fit him so he asked a servant to bring the thinnest clothes she could find. Something that couldn't protect a person from the biting cold of the Netheridge Kingdom.The servant found a set of thin wine coloured robes and presented them to the Prince who was so happy he held her hands and danced with her for a few seconds. She had no idea how much she had helped his love life. If things work

    Prince Ludiciel stood there wearing a smile, amused by the human's antics. Who else would dare to brazenly behave coquettishly and stick to the King like glue?Only the fearless human Prince.King Zedekiel on the other hand was annoyed. How dare the human touch him so casually after running into him? How was a Crown Prince of the most powerful Kingdom so absent-minded and careless?Our dear Elf King completely forgot he was the one holding the human by the waist, not letting him go. Prince Ron was only taking advantage of the moment.Zedekiel opened his mouth to scold the Prince when he suddenly heard the Officials voice out;Official 6: "Oh my, it seems like the Prince is still weak. He hasn't recovered yet."Official 8: "Yes. Look at how pitiful he looks. He's even shivering. The poor Prince."Zedekiel's left brow twitched in anger. The poor Prince? Who hasn't recovered yet? The Prince was the one running in the halls! How could someone like that not be okay?Hearing the Officials c

    "Mannerless buffoon." Princess Rose scoffed. "I do not blame you anyway. I wonder what my stupid brother is teaching you."Leo wanted to say that his Prince wasn't stupid but gritted his teeth, knowing it wasn't what to say. "We still have to find him."Princess Rose then turned to Prince Ludiciel, wagging a finger at his face. "I'm warning you, Prince Ludiciel. Convey my message to your brother too. If my brother is not found by nightfall, it will mean war!""Watch your tongue Princess Rose." Prince Ludiciel warned gravely. "You speak heavy words."It was an insult. Was she trying to say Prince Ron had been kidnapped by them?Princess Rose stood her ground, glaring at him. "What should concern you is the disappearance of my brother not the weight of my words and I promise you, Prince Ludiciel, if my brother is not brought to me today, it will spell the end of our alliance and your Kingdom.""I see" Prince Ludiciel chuckled. So it was that easy to break the marriage alliance. He was w

    Zedekiel's face went ugly as he wondered how he could have such thoughts about a disgusting human. He glared at the back of the Prince's head, thinking he was being bewitched by the Prince.Maybe the Prince had found some ancient witch and made her cast a spell on him.But then, how could he have found a witch? They were said to be extinct. And why would he cast a spell on him? What would he gain?Then again, as the masked dancer, he had seen emotions churning in the human's bright green eyes.Adoration, affection, admiration, and greatest of all, love.Zedekiel quickly shook his head, dispelling the thoughts. It was impossible.Completely impossible!The Mother Tree must have messed with his head this afternoon.A voice whispered in his mind. 'Or it could be your true feelings, the ones you buried so deep...'Zedekiel frowned and shouted in his mind. 'Then remain buried!'Prince Ron felt better after breathing properly then he raised his head and gazed around. They had ran all the wa

    She poured out her anger on her room and didn't stop until she felt little strength in her body. She sat on the floor, hair and clothes in disarray, eyes wild.She had done everything. Everything to make Prince Ron a liability to their father but their father didn't care. In fact, King Cain never gave up on training his son. To this day, although their father had shown her all sorts of love and was harsh on Prince Ron, she knew Prince Ron was loved the most and their father had high hopes for him. If she let Prince Ron take the throne, she would be cast aside, completely forgotten.She had thought hard about what she could do to make her father break the rule but came up with nothing. Her next plan was to find a strong handsome King and get married to him then take over his Kingdom. All she wanted was power. That was the only thing that mattered throughout the lands. If you had power, you could whatever you want and rule however you like. Rats like Leo the bodyguard would not have any

    The shorter skeleton spoke, voice lighter now. "My sons, you all finally came back." It sounded relieved. "Where’s Zedekiel? And my sister?"The taller one added eagerly, "Were you guys able to get Ron back? Is that why you’re here now?"It all suddenly dawned on Ludiciel who the skeletons were and his eyes burned with unshed tears as he forced himself to speak, voice barely above a whisper, "Mother?... Mariel?""Ludiciel," The shorter skeleton laughed, a sound filled with both sorrow and joy. "I knew you'd recognize us. Unlike your little brothers who are hiding behind you."Tariel and Sariel peered cautiously from behind Ludiciel and Talon, their eyes wide with uncertainty. "Brother, are those really…?"Prince Ludiciel inhaled sharply, willing himself to believe what his heart already knew. With a flick of his wrist, he dispelled the illusion he had unknowingly placed upon them.The moment the magic faded, there they stood.The Queen Mother, regal and serene, draped in flowing pale

    Talon sneered, yanking him closer. "Necromancers are always weak as shit. You hide behind your army, and everyone thinks you're powerful. Look at you now. You're nothing without your magic."Hugh's swollen eyes flickered open, and to Talon’s surprise, he started laughing—a wet, gurgling disgusting sound that make Talon want to rip his throat out."You think that's all I have up my sleeve?" Hugh rasped, his lips curling into a wicked grin. His gaze flicked downward.Talon followed his eyes and felt the faintest prickling sensation crawling up his legs."You think humans and animals are the only ones whose skeletons I can call upon?" Hugh sneered. "I can call upon even insects! Those ants will bite at you till you die! Even if you kill me, they won't stop until there’s nothing left but your bones, and I will gladly add you, Phoenix King, to my army!"Talon scoffed. "Oh really?"Without hesitation, his body ignited in a pillar of flames. His form shifted, his flesh turning into golden-re

    "Zedekiel," he whispered shyly as he took Zedekiel’s hands in his.Zedekiel’s brows furrowed slightly in concern. "What is it? Did that thing do anything to you?" he whispered back, brushing a soft kiss against Ron’s temple. "Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"Prince Ron shook his head, biting his lip nervously. "No, it’s not that. It’s just... there’s something you need to know."Zedekiel frowned, concerned. "What is it, love? You can tell me anything."Prince Ron took a deep shaky breath, about to tell his beloved about their babies when his gaze landed on his belly and his eyes widened in utter disbelief. He completely froze as he tried to process what he was seeing.There, protruding before him, was his enormous, round belly. It was so large that he couldn’t even see his own feet.He suddenly let out a tiny squeak of horror, his face going pale and before anyone could say anything, Ron’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.Zedekiel looked at everyone and they all began to

    Even in his ghost-like form, Kayziel was completely red in anger. "Again, NOBODY ASKED YOU TO!!!"The hands however, did not want to face their Lord's wrath. The Lord never tells his name to ordinary creatures and for the small beautiful prince to mention it, they knew there had to be truth to his words.The hands immediately sped up their work, yanking Kayziel toward the circle with urgency.Kayziel howled, his voice cracking in desperation. "STOP THIS MADNESS! I CAN FIX EVERYTHING! I SWEAR! PLEASE STOP!!!"Prince Ron let go, dusting off his hands as though he’d just finished a hard day’s work. "Say hello to your Lord for me!""YOU ARE INSANE!" Kayziel shrieked. He was already half-dragged into the glowing circle. “THIS ISN'T OVER RON!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!! YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS!!!”Prince Ron just smiled sweetly and waved. "Have a safe trip!"With a final, desperate cry, Kayziel disappeared into the gate, the circle sealing itself shut with a faint hum.********At

    Prince Ron just sat on the floor and tucked his arms to his chest, turning his face away. Hmph! The Elf spirit wanted his help but was calling him a bastard. Was that even how to ask for help? Besides, his beloved was working hard to get them back together. Who was he to interrupt his beloved's work? Whatever was happening to Kayziel was exactly what he deserved."Do you think I'll help you after what you subjected us to for three whole months?" He scoffed, glaring at Kayziel. "Shoo, hurry and go to wherever those hands are taking you."Kayziel gasped in pain, rivulets of tears and mucus running down his face. He screamed as the smoke-like arms pulled him closer to the circle. He could feel the heat of hell singe his feet. "I'm sorry" He began to cry. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry Ron. I'm sorry for everything. I just- I just wanted to live my dream for once. Your husband snatched that from me when I was alive and trapped me underground for centuries. I just wanted to live. I just wanted to l

    Kayziel’s laughter softened into something darker, more insidious, as he stepped closer. “Yes, Ron,” he murmured, his voice a low, chilling caress. “Think about it. Think about it well.” He began circling Ron like a predator stalking its prey, his ghost like form slithering around Ron’s form. “If you take your body, Zedekiel will lose all hope. The rest of your family? They’ll perish, one by one and Netheridge will eventually fall into ruin. The Elves, your kind, might even face extinction. And Zedekiel? Your beloved Zedekiel will live in a world of agony. A world without love..."He paused by Ron’s ear. "A world without you.”His words slithered through Ron’s ear like whispers of a devil, laced with a cruel, hypnotic allure. He moved closer, his hands ghosting over Ron’s trembling shoulders. “Can you truly take your body back, knowing you will be the cause of Zedekiel’s undoing?" He whispered. "Of his suffering for all eternity?”Ron’s breath hitched. His body tensed and his heart be

    Alaric nodded, his expression understanding. “Of course.” He turned to the others and gestured toward the cave’s entrance. “Outside, everyone. Give them some space.”The group shuffled out quietly, leaving Zedekiel alone with Ron. As the echoes of their footsteps faded, the cave grew eerily silent.Zedekiel knelt beside the bed, his silver hair falling like a curtain around his face as he rested his hand on Ron’s swollen belly. His other hand found its way to Ron’s chest, where he could feel the faint, steady rhythm of his heartbeat.He lowered his head, pressing it against Ron’s chest. At first, there was only the sound of his own breathing, but then it broke. A small, ragged sob escaped his lips, followed by another then another. Tears spilled down his cheeks, slowly wetting Ron’s robes.“I'm sorry, love,” Zedekiel whispered, his voice breaking. “I'm so so sorry. I left you alone even after I promised to protect you. I let you shoulder the responsibilities that I should have. I-I'm

    Elliot knelt beside Rose, his hands glowing faintly as his magic coursed through her twisted arm while she stared at him in awe.Zedekiel had left her on the floor and in pain. Those undead creatures were almost closing in on her and just when she thought she was really going to die on the battlefield, a dark haired man with pointy ears descended from the sky, blowing them all away and in the process, stealing her heart.She gazed up at him with tears and admirations in her eyes. His features looked almost otherworldly among the all chaos happening on the battlefield. He had smooth skin the colour of chocolate milk, dark hair like spun silk that fell in soft waves around his face, and eyes like molten amber, flecked with gold and crimson, which contrasted perfectly with his shimmering silver armour.Rose kept staring, momentarily forgetting her pain for Elliot looked just like the Princes in fairytales she had read to Ron about before bedtime."Okay, you have to stop," Elliot sighed,

    Hugh paled and before he could react, Prince Ludiciel moved first, his fist connecting with Hugh’s jaw in a bone-shattering punch. The force sent him flying across the field like a ragdoll.But it didn’t stop there. Talon vanished in a flash and reappeared ahead of Hugh’s trajectory, slamming a powerful kick into his ribs midair. The impact hurled Hugh back toward Ludiciel, who with both hands gripping his sword, brought the hilt down, slamming Hugh into the ground with a resounding crash.Dust and debris erupted around them as Hugh’s body sank into the earth, the necromancer groaning in pain.He coughed, chanting some ancient words and his body shimmered with a sickly green light before dissolving into the soil like water into sand.“Stay alert.” Ludiciel warned, his grip on his sword tightening, his sharp eyes scanning the battlefield."Ugh, necromancers are fucking disgusting." Talon grimaced, his nose wrinkling in revulsion as the stench of rotten corpses filled the air around the
