EDWARD

The weight of failure bore down on me, a burden I couldn't escape. I sensed that I had played a part in whatever misfortune had befallen Edwina. Riding through the village, desperately seeking a place to heal her, every beat of my heart resonated with a tinge of guilt and regret.

As the horse's hooves clattered on the uneven path, my forehead beaded with sweat, a testament to the fear gnawing at my insides. The village, once a backdrop to potential safety, now seemed a maze of uncertainty. The looming question echoed in my mind: What would become of me if Edwina didn't survive this ordeal?

The unknown fate of the one I tried to protect fueled my anxiety, making each moment unbearable as we raced against time to find help.

As we rode into the distance, I couldn't shake the overwhelming sense of guilt that engulfed me. The weight of my decisions pressed heavily on my conscience, and the regret of not heeding Edwina's pleas gnawed at my soul.

    Edward I have never been this afraid of anything in my life. I cannot lose the love of my life. My parents are dead and right now, she is the bane of my existence even though she did me wrong. I’d rather have her as a living enemy whom I would detest with every living breath that I take than not have her at all And death is not an option. The journey to find a healer felt like an eternity, with every passing moment increasing my fear of losing Edwina. The chariot finally came to a halt near a modest home, the abode of the village healer. A sense of urgency gripped me as I rushed to seek assistance, my only consolation being the hope that this healer possessed the knowledge and skills to mend the wounds that threatened to tear my world apart. The healer's home was unassuming, surrounded by the tranquility of the village.

    Edward I sat beside her quietly through the night, watching quietly and waiting for my love to wake up. The night stretched endlessly as I sat vigil beside her unconscious form.The dim light in the room cast a gentle glow on Edwina 's features, highlighting the delicate contours of her face. Every breath she took was a reassurance, of her fragile existence. In the silence, the weight of my regrets pressed heavily upon me. I couldn't escape the haunting memories of my wrongs against her, a bunch of mistakes that had led us to this extreme moment. Her tranquility in sleep masked the turmoil she had endured, a reflection of the storm that raged within me. The flickering candlelight mirrored the wavering hope in my heart, desperate for a chance to witness her waking moments. A smile from her would be the antidote to the numbness that gripped my heart, the restoration of a flame quenched by my foolishness. In that quiet, endless night, I vowed to rectify the wrongs, to be the

    EdwinaEverything I had worked for, the dreams I had, all crumbled before my eyes like a fragile sandcastle swept away by the tide. I was nothing more than a pawn, an innocent accomplice in Damien's wicked schemes.My heart ached with the sting of loss. My mother, father, Queen Olivia, and sweet Benita—all sacrificed at the altar of Damien's sinister plans. Their lives were extinguished for nothing more than my blind obedience, a blind trust that rendered me an instrument of destruction.The realization clawed at my conscience—I had played a role in all their demisesThe weight of regret clung to my every breath, The path I had chosen, guided by misplaced trust and misguided decisions, led to the ruin of everything I held dear.I was ensnared in Damien's web of evil—a pawn in a game of treachery that claimed the lives of those closest to me. My mother, father, Queen Olivia, and dear Benita—all fallen victim to the diabolic plans I unintentionally aided.In the solitude of my grief, qu

    EdwinaWhy does Edward insist on making this all about him once more? It's as if he revels in the spotlight, basking in the glory that comes with being a king. A foolish king if you ask me!He should have seized the opportunity to eliminate Damien or the witch, If the lory thing is so important to him, he couldn't resist the urge to play the hero once again. He desires to alternate between the roles of the savior and the stern punisher.A twisted game of good cop and bad cop, with me as the unwilling pawn.I don't want any savings anymore. the time for that is passed and he missed it, all I wanted was to die.Is he saving me just for the personal pleasure of enslaving me again?I will not live that life again, in fact, I have no reason to live. it is over because there is nothing and no one to live for.I lost my rage after Edward took me out from Avalor all in the name of saving me.Benita had put herself in the mix too by confronting Damien and she was paying for the price of her st

    EdwinaI sat on the floor with Benita's cold body, with no intention of getting up from there.Rebeca continued yelling and seeking attention while I sat down to mourn. I didn't care what would happen to me at that moment.I was looking for an easy way to just leave the world with the people whom I had lost.The guards who surrounded me seemed to have run out of patience, they wanted to dispose of Benita’s body so that we could continue the journey.Two of them came towards me to pull me away but what they didn't know was that I was ready for them.I took out the knife from my tight strap and immediately they walked towards me, I took the knife to my neck immediately.“If you come close to me, I'll take my life, and guess whose life would be taken after your king realizes that you couldn't perform the simple task of keeping me safe?” I threatened and they knew the threat was legit so they stepped back. confused about what to do next.“Don't listen to her she makes an empty threats!” R

    EDWINA"Edwina!" Edward called me but I wasn’t willing to hear a thing he would say."Edwina!" I finally caught up to her and grasped her arm, pleading for her to halt. My heart thudded with a mixture of regret and longing."Edwina, please! You can't just go..." I begged; my voice laden with the weight of unspoken emotions."Why, Edward? Please give me one reason why. Because of the ridiculous rumor saying I killed your mother. Because you want me to suffer? Tell me! If you want to punish me, go ahead now! I think I should do it for you."I moved to him so that he could see there was no fear in my eyes as I proceeded to do what I was about to do. He is a coward who didn’t dare to do. He has accused me of killing his parents and conspiring with Damien, he should give me the right sanctions for traitors rather than push me around for his pleasure. Stupid Narcissistic punk.I held the sharp knife tightly in my hands and looked into his eyes with my teary eyes. I don’t even feel sad anymo

    EdwinaFollowing the brief moment of emotional outburst, I had produced. The eerie, empty room became silent once more.When I first heard those weird voices, I was terrified, but is there anything to be afraid of? They can't kill me now that I'm dead. These individuals ought to respect me if we are going to dwell here together!"Why do you remain silent? Was there anything I said incorrectly? Oh, you believe that you are the only one who can play with words? Well, I have a lot of reservations about every one of you, so please be respectful when speaking with me!I could only hear my voice now. After I finished speaking, the stillness quickly grew tolerable."You still refuse to speak up? Oh, so what you dish out cannot be taken back? All of you are cowards! I cried out in the hopes of hearing back. At this point, I'll take anything, even if it involves a combative conversation.“Cowards! That is what you all are cow…ards!” “ I spell it out. it was beginning to sound like I was going

    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.

    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.

    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
