Edwina

It's been a week since I arrived here, and strangely, I feel a bit better than that first day. The air is still heavy with uncertainty, but I'm adapting. Yet, there's this constant thorn in my side—Edward. His presence sets me on edge, a simmering anger bubbling just beneath the surface. Why does he hover over me, watching every move, offering assistance I never asked for?

I can't fathom his motives, and frankly, I don't care. He's wasting his time. There's nothing left for him or anyone else to take from me.

I'm hollow, an empty shell of what I used to be. From now on, I've decided not to bother contemplating consequences before every move. Life's become a precarious dance, and I'll waltz through it as if I'm on the brink of my demise. There's a certain freedom in living without restraint, without a plan.

Perhaps that's my way of coping with the chaos around me. I'll just exist, each day a step closer to the unknown, uncaring of what lies ahead.

    Edwina He was quiet after hearing everything I had to say. There was a look of confusion and remorse on his face. His eyes searched mine, seeking some kind of understanding or forgiveness. I couldn't bear to see it. “I had no idea what was going on…your father? Mother? Edwina…” he stammered, his voice trailing off in an attempt to console me. I cut him short in the middle of his unnecessary condolence. “Please, Edward, save your remorse and shove it up your ass. I don’t need it! I don’t need you, and you should have never tried to save me,” I snapped, my emotions boiling over. “You should just go back to your kingdom and get married to your bride. I’m glad she escaped death, but I would sacrifice her over and over again if that is what it means to get my mother back. I don’t regret what I did, so if you want to punish me, you better do it and make sure the punishment is death. Make it quick, King Edward!” I roared harshly but kept my voice low, a venomous mixture of anger

    I find myself haunted by the ghosts of irreversible mistakes. Edwina's pain, a weight too heavy for my shoulders, lingers in the air like a tangible sorrow. It's heartbreaking that I cannot undo the loss of her parents or the scars placed on her tender heart. The gravity of my shortcomings becomes painfully apparent as I reflect on the years gone by. Edwina, with vulnerability in her eyes, sought solace in my presence. She trusted me with the fragments of her shattered world, only to receive my misplaced fury in return. I was blind to the genuine need for comfort that she extended to me. Now, with clarity, I see the wreckage of my life. For three years, I've been living a lie, channeling my rage into the wrong avenues, misled by the venomous words of others. The loss of my mother, a tragedy that scarred my soul, became a breeding ground for resentment, clouding my judgment and leading me astray. Edwina's heart, once a delicate flower, now bears the weight of my transgression

    EdwardMy royal council felt it was wise for me to have relations with the next potential king of Oakheart, so they went ahead to request Sebastian’s daughter’s hand in marriage. In return, I would get as many armies as possible when I needed them to fight Damien, and they would get other juicy advantages from Galentia too. The plan made sense, but it made no sense to my heart because I was still very much in love with Edwina, even though my heart was shattered.I accepted and got engaged to Rebeca. Sebastian would not bring his men to fight with me because I have refused to finalize the marriage. I wanted revenge, I wanted to bring all the perpetrators of my mother's death to justice.Damien killed my father, and I have been looking to have my revenge on him, but he is never in a stable place. He and his rogues moved from town to town causing havoc. Sometimes when I get news of him and his rogues raiding some village or town, I rush there with my men, even though I know we are not en

    EdwardI stayed out under the moon, watching the stars with my guards, waiting for the morning, waiting for the sun to rise so that I could take my love back home with me.While we waited, we suddenly heard hooves and heights of horses coming towards us.We weren't expecting anyone, and I don't think anyone knows that we are here, so what could it be?The scent was a familiar one, but I couldn't place my finger on whose it was.One thing I was sure about was that it wasn't someone whom I liked.My guards and I braced ourselves in the short time we had as the sound came closer, and to my discomfort, it was the King of Sandcastle. How and why is he here?He and a number of his soldiers marched forward towards us, and when they got closer, they halted.Marquis got off the horse and majestically walked up to me where I stood.I have never had reasons to have problems with Marquis, but since I realized that he was planning to marry Edwina, his name and presence began to irritate me.

    Edward “Bold of you to assume that you and your men are capable enough to take Edwina away from here while I stand and watch,” I said in anger. “Anyone who lays a finger on her will receive the anger of the Lycan king! You Know that you do not stand a chance against me with your armies even at my weakest KIng Marquis, so I will advise you to thread carefully. We wouldn’t want the king of Sandcastle to die a senseless death without leaving an heir to his throne yet!” I struggle to understand the reason behind his motive. Last I heard about him, they said he got himself a new wife after Edwina and I left Sandcastle so what does he still want from her? I will be foolish to let him leave this place with Edwina. “Oh, I hear you loud and clear King Edward! You have threatened me with a lot of things but I will not stand down! All you have done is hurt the princess. You got all her parents killed, but you wouldn’t stop there. You will not stop until you erase her off the

    Edwina I was laying on the sick bed as usual waiting for sleep to come and also not looking forward to going back to Galentia. But what choice do I have? I am weak and I do not even have a plan on what to do but I know what I want to do. Since Edward is eager to please me and make everything right, I think this is the best time to take advantage of the situation. I will make him my weapon of war just like Damien made me his. I will go back with him to Valencia, but I will not go back as the same Edwina that everyone knew before. I am not weak anymore. Anyone who tries to step on my toe will get exactly what they deserve from me. I regret and curse myself for being stupid all this while but that phase is over now. I was finding it difficult to shut my eyes and sleep. Tonight seems to be a full moon, and for some reason, I want to sit under the moon. In my little lone time, I thought about how I went, begging Marquis for help and I’ll advise me to stay back with him.

    Edwina I could see the disappointment etched on Marquis' face. It is quite heartbreaking, But I am in no mood to move on or have a better life. The frivolities of life are meaningless to me now; all I want is revenge. Maybe after I get that, I can find peace, but I know that sitting in some fancy-looking palace with glassy, moisturized skin, dressing like royalty, and being swept away by some man is not the solution I need. It used to be, but now the idea just irritates me. “Why, Edwina, why have you chosen to always reject me? What have I done wrong? What is my offense, Edwina? All I want for you is to have a good life. Is it a crime to be in love with you? This man right here has hurt you several uncountable times, but you still choose to be with him. Is it my fault that I fell in love with you foolishly and refused to see all the red flags even though they kept staring at me right in the face? You have made me look so foolish countless times, but here I am, I keep coming

    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
