Edwina. I almost couldn't believe that our plan had succeeded to this extent, a daring escape in motion. I moved forward, driven by a sense of determination and a willingness to face whatever consequences awaited me. Death seemed a preferable outcome to a life of submission. The chariot glided slowly through the night, the moon casting an ethereal glow on the beautiful maids lining our path. After a brief ride, an unspoken understanding passed between Benita and me — it was time to forge our path. Locking eyes, we steered the horses onto a different route, disappearing into the shadows without a backward glance. Confusion reigned among the maids we left behind. The abrupt shift in our trajectory confounded them, and it took precious moments for them to comprehend the situation. As realization dawned, screams pierced the air, a discordant melody of surprise and alarm. Benita and I urged the horses forward, racing like maniacs through the night. Meanwhile, Rebecca, our unwi
Edward Today is my wedding ceremony, I feel an odd hesitancy, as though I desire the evening would never end in order to avoid this particular moment. I don't really want to participate in this event, therefore the commitment I made feels like a heavy anchor. Did someone force me into doing this? There was an irritating knock on the door which pulled me out of my thoughts. I opened the door, finally giving in to the intrusions that had been bothering me for so long. Omen and a group of specialists and designers were waiting to outfit me for the event. Omen, who seemed to be overflowing with disdain, answered with a Omen, seemingly filled with excitement, rushed in with the specialists. "My king, you need to try your outfit on," he said Ï don't need these people here, I can dress myself!"I said hoping to dismiss them. "I do not doubt your ability, Your Highness, but this is the day of your wedding. We use professionals because everything needs to be done accurately.
EDWARD I'm perplexed. Why would anyone want to kidnap Rebecca? It doesn't make any sense. Is someone trying to upset me? If so, it's a foolish move because I'm not that upset. I just feel obligated to find her, and it's more than a little disrespectful. Yes, I have every right to be angry. Today was supposed to be my wedding day, so what is this disgrace all about? "Who dares to lay hands on the bride of the king?" I asked angrily. "Sire, we don't know yet. The escorts said she was riding on her horse to the venue, then two riders took a different turn and fled..." "No, that doesn't make any sense. Ordinary riders cannot pull off something like this. This is the work of someone in a high position. Someone with audacity is involved in this." "Where are the guards? I need a good number of them to accompany me!" I stepped out of the room, and they all walked with me. "Also, get all the gates to exit the town locked," I commanded. As we were leaving, they began sounding
Edwina As we drew near a little settlement, a day's ride from Avalor, the night descended. We went into the woods to find safety and a quiet place to stay until the light of dawn revealed our way. We were tired from the journey, and our eagerness was stoked by the thought of what awaited us in Avalor. The silence of the night was broken as we got closer to our resting spot by an unwelcome sound, a combination of groans and stretches. I suddenly realized that Lady Rebeca was awake. Her confused and distressed voice cut through the night air. Oh my goddess! Where am I? What the fuck is this place?" Her tone conveyed a sincere fear, intensified by her confusion of suddenly finding herself in unfamiliar surroundings. We halted the horses and moved closer to the chariot to see why Lady Rebeca was so upset. Her eyes filled with dread, and she slowly tried to release herself from the chariot. She cried out as soon as her feet reached the earth, and Benita and I helped her down c
EDWINA The drug's effect on Rebeca manifested in a relentless hunger and drowsiness, painting vulnerability across her once defiant facade. Benita and I maintained a quiet vigilance, aware that every decision held the potential to alter the course of our unpredictable journey. Amid this hushed voyage, the only audible disturbance was the growling protest of Rebeca's stomach. Hungry and weakened by the drug's influence, Rebeca could not endure the silent torment any longer. The stillness shattered as she broke the silence with a demand, her tone dripping with both desperation and rudeness. "Please, can I have some food at least?" she implored, her pride momentarily eclipsed by the insistent growls emanating from her stomach. "Oh, I thought you rejected it earlier," Benita remarked, her words carrying a subtle mockery. "Well, that was then, but I'm hungry now, and I need to eat," Rebeca retorted, her entitlement evident in her tone. "The pretty lady wants some f
Edward Under the dark skies whose only ignition was the moonlight, accompanied by my swiftest men and agile warriors, rides through the darkened villages in pursuit of his kidnapped Edwina and Rebeca. Torchlight flickers, casting shadows as we interrogate villagers and scan the horizon, fueled by the urgency to find them. The air is thick with tension as the search party presses on, determined to unravel the mystery. Through the darkness, the search party presses on, their horses tirelessly covering the ground. The moon witnesses their unyielding determination as they chase them, relentless in their pursuit. Sleep eludes us, replaced by the relentless rhythm of hooves and the resolve to reclaim the stolen bride before dawn break Our horses are very fast and I'm sure Rebeca’s chariot horses are not this fast. The only time we had to rest was when the horses needed water. My mind did not did not go to sleep neither did my thought. I could only pick the faint track of Reb
Edwina The trip back to Avalor turned into an endurance test because there was just one horse left to draw the wrecked chariot. The damaged carriage moaned with disapproval, its wheels resonating with the fatigue of the chase we had abandoned. Closer to the gates of Avalor, My eyes flicked back and forth between our objective on the horizon and the increasing cloud of dust that indicated Edward and his men's unrelenting advance. The crisp night air had a hint of impending danger, and I could feel my heart palpating with anxiety. But fear didn't stop me; on the contrary, it strengthened my drive. The gates of Avalor stood enticingly close, even with the exhaustion that set in. The hunt was getting closer with every heartbeat, and every second seemed to drag on forever. My senses perked up as the gates grew bigger. The win, or whatever you want to call it at that point, was almost within my grasp, but the smell of chasing enemies persisted. "Edwina!" My name echoed thr
Edwina The chaotic scene within Avalor took an unexpected turn as a group of rogues, formidable and ready for battle, inserted themselves into our tense confrontation. "The rogue king asked us to welcome you," grinned a muscular rogue, a sinister smile etched across his face. The air crackled with anticipation as Edward and his men squared off against the new threat. Amid the impending clash, Edward, decisive and protective, lifted me from the ground. I instinctively reached for Benita, and together, we found refuge in the waiting chariot, where a sleeping beauty lay unaware of the turmoil surrounding her. "Stay here!" Edward commanded, his tone leaving no room for disobedience. The chariot rattled to life, carrying us a safe distance away from the imminent battleground. I watched Edward, torn between confusion and curiosity, as he sprinted back towards the impending fight. Unable to comprehend his relentless protection, I called out to him, hoping he would hear the trut
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
