Edwina I tried to be as careful as possible to avoid all the dangerous routes, but I couldn't be careful enough. I was close to Sandcastle when I heard someone call behind me. It was a guard. I don't know who it was, but I knew that he meant no good. "Hey! Turn around!" he yelled. I acted like he wasn't talking to me, and I continued walking as fast as I could because I knew that I was close to my destination. “Hey! Didn't you hear me? I said stop right there! you in rags!" I didn’t want him to call too much attention to me but in my mind, I was thinking of the best way to get him off me…. I slowly turned and then the idea came to my head, and I tripped and fell. I picked up as much sand as I could with my palm and the guard ran in front of me, I slowly raised my head to look at him and threw the sand I had picked directly into his eyes. He screamed in pain, and I used this opportunity to get up and start running as fast as I could. His screams attracted a lot
EdwinaAfter the maids were done taking my bath, they applied some essential lotions on me and then massaged my sore body.I miss this life I had always had and I didn’t even know what I had then but now that I have seen the other side of life. I cherish what I had and I wish I could get it all back.While they were massaging me, some other maids came into the room with food. I could already smell it from miles away and my tummy rumbled at the aroma. They opened it and placed it on the table in my room. It had so much in it, different sorts of delicious meat and fish, seasoned to perfection... It had mashed potatoes garnished with cheese and fried with bread crumbs, all sorts of veggies, and freshly squeezed juices.I dived into the food with my hands and ate like I wasn't even a princess. When I was done, I slept on the cozy warm bed! Damn, it has been a while since I slept for so long but I did. For once, I forgot about my worries for that period and I slept till I heard a word on
EDWINA“Is that all you can do?” Marquis tried to provoke him.“For your information, I am the Sandman, I am the protector of every sand. I have lived here for thousands of years without interruption. I know you have heard about the Sand Land. You must have heard the rumors of my land and its terrible wonders. Soon, you will experience it..” he said.“Well I don't believe this, I don't think you all that just because you performed a little magic. Anyone could claim to be a powerful spirit. The wind might have stopped because it wanted to and not because you asked it to.” Marquis provoked.Marquis didn't understand the game he was playing but he didn't care because he was already dying and he had nothing else to lose.“What do you mean?” you just said we stopped a tornado and you still doubt? You're a lowly human!” he got angered again and made the tornado arise stronger this time.Just like before, Marquis didn't fight with it, he just laid in the middle of it, waiting for the tornado
Edwina..Marquise is a descendant of Marquise Duplantaier I. The name has never left their household because that is the name that the sandman knows.Marquis, I commanded his children to never allow the name fad off their family. He instructed that every first male child who is heir be named marquise as long as he wishes to inherit the sand castle.Is sons followed these rules and the sandman has never failed them.Marquis is of the iii generation. His father had just passed out recently and now it's his turn to be king.He had come to our kingdom some years back to ask for my hands in marriage but my parents never agreed and neither did I.When I heard that I was going to be married off to the king of Galentia, I thought it would be some old man. I was so pissed and immediately, I began to regret not accepting Marquise’s proposal. He is a young handsome man and I could have learned to love him but I was married off to the king indeed and look at where that got me now.Back to the a
Edward.After Edwina was embarrassed at the party, I knew that she would feel devastated and she wouldn't want to come out again.I looked around to see if she would show up any time soon but she didn't.I can imagine her embarrassment I can also say that she deserves it for being a betrayal.To be honest, I didn't look forward to much at the ceremony when Edwina stopped showing up.The ceremony even became more boring for me and I got really tired.I wanted to go and check up on Edwina but I didn't want her to feel like I had diverted from my mission….I still plan to make her suffer and I intend to keep it that way.All that was left at the party were noises that I suddenly detest.I formally loved the sound of parties and ceremonies. The beautiful colors of different people from different kingdoms, gathered together in different beautiful attires just to celebrate together. The music and the merriment.Now it's just noise! I hate it all and I need to quiet….When I couldn't take it an
Edwina“Look, I know that the both of you are enemies now but it doesn't matter to me. All that matters to me is if the Princess is willing to stay or go…”I hated the choices that I was left with because none of them was of any good to me… I need d to help my mother and I can't stay here nor can I leave with EdwardMy heart was beating as I looked into Edward’s cold eyes. I cannot continue to be a servant to his foolish fiancee“The Princess is safe within these walls but once she gets out, her enemies will pound on her like a hungry lion. I can only guarantee Princess Edwina’s safety within these walls..” Marquis kept repeating this statement and it got annoying at some point, like okay I get you! I am toast if I don’t accept your marriage proposal. Damn!“It is your choice, Princess Edwina, now you have to choose. Would you like to go with your former betrothed or would you like to sit here in the safety of my net?” Marquis askedI was quiet for a long time, thinking about what to d
EdwinaI tried to catch a quick sleep with the sole called King of Galentia in front of my face. I had a lot on my mind, but I didn’t want to think too much about it.I was far gone in sleep when I heard a little noise. I didn’t pay attention to it, but the noise became more disturbing, so I opened my eyes to see what it was.I found Edward wasn’t in front of me anymore and some of the guards were gone, while a few others were asleep, or so I thought.I got up and looked around me, Edward was nowhere to be found, this was an opportunity to escape this dump!I didn’t think twice about it, I got up and started to run as fast as my legs could carry me, and without looking back, I kept running until I foolishly stumbled on a large log of wood and fell to my face. I didn’t mind a little strained foot, I tried to get up and by the time I did, someone was standing in front of me. A rouge wolf. I could just see from the way he looked that he was one of Damien’s men.F*ck! I knew I would come
Edward.It surprised me when she chose to come with me instead of staying with the Marquis…Why did she run from Galentia and come here first? What is her plan? First, it was Damien. Now it's Marquis, now she wants to go with me.She has the opportunity to become the queen of sandcastle, although I was willing to fight to take her along with me even if I lost. There was no way I would let her out of my sight.She can't escape the suffering she deserves.I was taken aback at first when she said she was going to leave with me but then again, she is Edwina, I know that she is up to something.this is why I never let her out of my site, I made sure we rode together and slept together. it felt good and for a minute I wished things were different. I wish we could spend time together without the burden of the hurt I carry.I snap myself back to reality to stop being delusional. She is the enemy and she deserves to die but since I can't do that, I will let her suffer as she deserves.while we
Edward,Everything seemed like a dream when I saw that the palace where I had left Edwina had caught fire.I did not understand how it happened, but something told me that it was my fault.I feel quite guilty because I was part of the reason why she sustained so many injuries. I had no idea that she was there, so I just climbed over the door to save Edwina, but I had no idea.I was glad that the healers were able to save Rebecca, even though she had sustained so many burns. But hearing that she was pregnant was the last thing I expected to hear.Of course, she is pregnant. This is what she has always wanted. This was what she aimed to get when she drugged my food and took advantage of me. But how do I begin to explain that?I have finally fulfilled all the promises that I made to Edwina, and I am supposed to be happy with her right now. But Rebecca obviously is the enemy that was sent to ruin my happiness, and she is doing a good job at that.I feel so sad that Alfie is gone. He was l
EdwinaI was stuck here in the palace with this hideous-looking creature. I remember the terrible things that I saw with her and Damien. Why would Edward leave me in the same room with this bitch?I want to strangle her, and I want to take the life out of her. She looks so fragile; it would be very easy for me to kill her.As soon as Edward and Alfie left the both of us in the room, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity for me to end her life.I did not care what Edward was saying to Alfie when he wanted to take his swing at her, but I will not listen to any of that. She is as guilty as Damien for killing my parents.As soon as I was sure that Edward and Alfie were out of our way, I went for it.I was at her neck, my hand around her stupid neck, and began to press as hard as I could. She tried to push my hands off, but she obviously wasn’t strong enough, and I was not even willing to let go until I am sure that the breath has left and she is truly gone.“Plea…” She begged, but
I couldn’t understand what was going on. Alfie should not be fighting in his condition, but he continues to fight. What the hell is wrong with him? I tried to stop him from fighting, but at the same time, Damien made it difficult.Each time I pulled him away and fought the man myself, he ended up coming back to fight.“Leave my body alone, you fucking witch!” When he yelled those words, I knew that everything he was doing was not of his own will; he was being controlled. The witch is here somewhere.The second time Alfie went to grab Damien, I rushed to him to pull him away, but Damien delivered a massive blow to me and I landed on my back. Damien succeeded in pulling out a massive part of Alfie's heart, and it was then that Alfie finally stopped fighting…“Alfie!” I yelled as I watched him fall to the ground, breathing badly.His heart had been tossed aside, and I thought that if I rushed to pick up the heart and put it back into him, it would heal because there was still time. I cra
AlfieI knew that Edward was not as smart as he thought he was.What was he thinking? Taking all his men at once into Valencia to fight?Does he think Damien is stupid?Damien has been fighting wars since before he was born, and yet Edward thought his men were just enough to take Damien down.Well, he should be glad that I am here with my men. Even though I do not want to wear my men out, I know that they will come in very handy. But it is just too early for Edward to use his men; we haven’t even gotten to Damien yet.By the time that I did, it would have been toast.My men came in and slaughtered all the fools that Damien thought he had fortified with powers. I knew that they were in the palace, so that is where we are heading. Damien's head is mine.Edward had gone to the palace earlier than I did, but that does not stop me, I will always be there to save his ass.My men came in and slaughtered all the fools that Damien thought he had fortified with powers. I knew they were in the p
EdwardAs we were fighting, I felt like we weren't being challenged as much as I thought we would. Something is off, and it is hard for me to place my finger on it. Why have I not seen Damien yet? Suddenly, I felt a change in the atmosphere when I saw some of my men fighting against each other.I could not understand what was going on. They were all dressed in the same uniform, and it was a bit confusing for me to fight and defend.Why the hell are my men fighting against each other? It became apparent I made a mistake by recruiting men from outside. News could have gotten to Damien about this, and he might have managed to bring in some of the bad eggs into my ranks. Now, it is difficult for me to know who my men are and who they aren’t. It's impossible for me to know all my soldiers, but I know a few...I managed to find my way out of the crowd and stood in front of them as I watched my men fight each other."Retreat," I yelled. "By the order of the king, I command you all to retreat
DamienI didn't mean to hit Venus like that, but the things he was saying weren't right.Venus was on the floor after I swung my hand at him unexpectedly, driving him off. He didn't just land on the ground; he hit a very heavy stone, which made it difficult for him to stand up for a moment. I didn't know how much damage my action caused him, but I didn't care.“So it was you? You killed my mother and laid the path for my own life, making me hate my family just to use me as your puppet, and now you want to abandon me… why, Serena?”“Damien, take it easy. Remember, I am your mother, and I know what is best for you. There is war in the vicinity; this is not the right time for us to turn against each other. Stop acting crazy, Damien,” she said.“No, you are not my mother; you are Serena, the evil witch who took over my life, and turned me into a monster, hurting the people that I thought were my family. You took my right from me, but it was you all along, you lying bitch!” I was about to
EdwinaMy heart has not beaten normally since we set out on this journey. From the moment we left Galentia, I knew that my world was about to change, and I couldn't sit around without playing a part in it.The air became tense as we rode for Galentia. I wondered what was going through the minds of Edward and Alfie at the same time because I knew that my own heart was not settled, and it was hard to even pin down my thoughts. My thoughts were all over the place.It's time for Damien to die, and I'm afraid that we might not get it right this time because we have been missing it for a very long time. Damien has a powerful sorceress with him, and even though Edward managed to chase her home last time, we're not sure if she's still alive or not.I have zeroed my mind on any possibility of failing in the battle with Damien's life.This is it! I'm trusting Edward and Alfie to do a complete job. Edward is strong enough to take down Damien, and he has tried it before, but because there were so
EDWARDWith the fastest of our horses and a determined resolve, we set off from Valencia to Avalor with swiftness.Every step of the journey, I pondered what to expect when we arrived in Avalor. I feared the worst outcome: that Damien had amassed more forces than we did, and perhaps he had bolstered his ranks with dark powers.I lack any dark powers myself, and I often wonder how I manage to face him. Whenever I confront him, I never dwell on whether I am strong enough to defeat him or not. I am always driven by the anger within me, always ready to inflict as much damage as possible, and that is exactly what I intend to do this time.I am in no mood for smiles; Damien has had enough respite, and now it is time for him to face his reckoning.As the night grew dark, we decided to take shelter in a small village on the outskirts.We built a fire, and the men set up camp all around. I am not afraid of the night or what dangers it may bring, for I have so many allies that it would take a g
DamienMother is not taking this seriously, but Edward is already on his way here and it seems like he has a massive army.Some of my men are within his army, this is a tactic that I made a while ago, but why the hell does my heart still beat upon his arrival?I hurried downstairs to gather all my rogue army too. Edward is still far and hasn’t entered Avalor's gates, so there is still time for us to prepare.I had gotten a message earlier that Edward was coming today. How could I be so stupid to forget?This is all Mother’s fault… if I hadn’t been so distracted by her, seeking attention all the time, I would've remembered. I got this message a month ago that Edward would be arriving here on this day, but I totally forgot about it.Damn it!It is not too late. I ran outside and got all my men, telling them to guard the gates while I deal with Venus.I went back into the house to see that Venus was done packing his bag and changed into a different attire, ready to leave the house."You
