Third Person’s POVSamel looked on coldly as his two guests that are currently staying at the guest rooms of his manor, happily conversed with extreme familiarity, as if they have known each other for ages.His lips pursed tight as his chest felt tight without a reason. Why didn’t he know that the two of them are acquainted with each other? He did not hear any reports from his steward about the acquaintance of the two in the past days that they have stayed inside the manor.But, the look in their eyes and their gestures are clearly as if they are familiar with each other without much alienation. His thoughts further darkened Samel’s mood, but he does not have a reason to go over there and join their conversation.And he does not even know why he has an urge to separate the two of them at first sight. General Markus is already over a decade older than that young girl, and they merely looked like a pair of an older and younger generation relRevelation Third Person’s POVThe darkness covering the skies after the clock of midnight strikes seems to be the darkest shade of black that accompanies the moon to shine brightly with ethereal splendor. After the closing and awarding ceremony of the Moon view competition, the participating forces were allowed to rest for the night inside the Blue Moon arena before going back to start their return journey to their own home.The viewing room of the Artemia Kingdom is suffused with a silent and calm atmosphere as the four participants, Princess Regina and Crown Prince Rogeus rested deeply for the night. They would be going back to the Artemia Kingdom as soon as the sun rises, and after the initial journey, they understood that they could not allow themselves to be deprived of rest as they would not be able to endure the grueling dangers that they might encounter on the way.But, in this quiet night, Soran’s closed eyes suddenly opened, and its light glimmered in
Revelation IIThird Person’s POVThey have been negligent. Too negligent that they did not even notice that one of their participants is missing in the carriage. Royal Guard Captain Lev’s eyes are filled with gloom as he thought of such a stupid blunder that happened under his watch. The Artemia Kingdom has finally won the Moon view competition that they dared not to dream in the past years, but the biggest price of their efforts has been stolen under their noses. Royal Guard Captain Lev could already imagine the look of fury in the eyes of the king once he receives the news of the stolen moon crystal. Even the Crown Prince and the First princess would not be able to escape the king’s admonishment and punishment after losing such a precious treasure. And Royal Guard Captain Lev as the leading individual for the envoy’s protection will be pushed in an even harsher spot.Princess Regina does not care about the thoughts of the others at this moment as she scr
Revelation IIIThird Person’s POVThe passing fresh breeze in the open pavilion seems to condense in the air before freezing with the following pin-drop silence after Asha’s sudden declaration. General Markus was stunned in place as his brain malfunctioned from the information that could not be processed by him in time.But, General Markus’ second-in-command instantly reacted after the shock as his eyes lit up with a fierce light. He stepped forward to Asha’s side before drawing his sword that has always been sheathed on his waist. The cold gleam of the sharp weapon reflected Asha’s calm face, which further drove the impulse of the other man. A threatening growl escaped his lips as he placed the edge of the sword near Asha’s slender and pale neck.The contrast of the sharp blade and the fragile neck appears vividly as it was filtered brightly by the morning sun. “Young lady, speaking such nonsense words with our general’s personal matter is a crime pu
WolfThird Person’s POVFeeling the circle of calm and soothing aura that envelops her body, Asha subconsciously breathes a sigh of relief as the solidifying pressure from General Markus disappeared in the blink of an eye as if it never existed in the first place. The atmosphere in the open pavilion eased considerably, and even General Markus slightly regained his senses from the deep abyss that it was pushed in.The searing gaze of the other man stayed on her figure, and Asha felt slightly flustered with her pale cheeks reddening without her consent. “Are you okay?”The cool and magnetic voice drilled into her ears, and the haze covering her dark pupils dispersed as Asha regained her clarity. She did not expect that she will meet that benefactor that she did not see after the brief chance when the latter saved her from the forest trail. The vague appearance of that time could finally be filled in by her. Asha’s dark pupils brightly stared back at Samel as
Wolf IIThird Person’s POVThe air in the open pavilion stagnated at Asha’s words. The history of Selestine has been rich with the flourishing temples and clans that had conquered the rising land’s prosperity and all of these forces have been recorded in detail by each surviving clan to preserve the vitality of the past that swiftly disappeared with the merciless attack of time. The prominent clan that fought for five years to find a moon crystal for their deceased little princess, the destroyed and new clans that sprouted from each era has been recorded without any missing links. But, the Blood Wolves clan in the mouth of the young lady in front of him really does not ring a bell to General Markus, and even to the silent Samel.There are innumerable historical records in the library of the city lord manor, and Samel has been perusing them since he was adopted by his foster father, the former lord. But, it seems like there are still many mysterious and unknown t
Wolf IIIThird Person’s POVAsha was really worried about the condition of the female servant, but half of the reason why she was in a hurry to leave the pavilion is because of the presence of her benefactor. She had never felt such a contradicting aura in an individual before. The feeling of oppression and comfort intermingled in the air around that man like a net that would cover her escape if she hesitated to leave for even a second.“Samel Karsan…” Uttering the name that she has been hearing from the servants around the manor, Asha felt conflicted at the sense of anticipation to once again see that man.That man was so good-looking that Asha could only turn all of her attention into his eyes, but even those orange orbs could pull her into a beguiling mist that made her flustered. Asha raised her hand to feel the hot temperature of her cheek, and her thoughts paused as panic flashed past her eyes before she hurried back to her room after help
Wolf IVThird Person’s POVThe sound of drawing swords echoed in the small clearing, and a tense air immediately shrouded the area. Raval was the first to check the commotion, and Ken hurriedly jumped up from his laying position as he trotted behind Raval to see what’s going on.Stein, Yuan and Vern followed the two as they looked at each other with the same confusion marring their pupils. Judging by the loud questioning of one of the guards, there is someone else, a stranger among them, but how could they have not found out about such a thing?As the first to arrive in the circle of guards that are standing rigidly with their swords pointed at the center, Ken and Raval took a few seconds to move at the front to see a pale-faced young man kneeling at the ground while holding his bleeding left arm.A sense of familiarity appeared on Ken’s face as he looked at the face of the young man on the ground. Why did he feel like he had seen this person before?B
Wolf VThird Person’s POVThe envoy of the Rebelliad team with the addition of Soran rested for a night in the small forest’s clearing before continuing on to the direction of the north king mountain where the city of rogues is. Soran did not expect that discussing with the Rebelliad team is so easy. He was still troubled at first for fear that they will not listen to him and just straight up deal with him after taking the moon crystal, but it seems that he was just thinking too much, and linking them with the mindset that he has seen from the royal family of the Artemia Kingdom.After eating his full and resting peacefully from the three days of hiding, Soran felt relieved as he hugged the moon crystal to sleep. Raval shook his head with a smile while looking at Soran’s sleeping posture. The young man looks not older than twenty, and he is the youngest in their envoy which reminded Raval of Lyor that was left behind to stay with their young lord.‘I wonder what that brat is u
FutureThird Person’s POVIn the three days that they were cut off from the outside world, Asha and Samel completed the marking, and their bodies would exude each other’s scents from the physical and astral form. The memories of the past three days burned Asha’s cheeks, and she could not help but to bury her face on the soft bedding of the bed while savoring the sweetness and passion that she shared with Samel. Her movements caused the white quilt on her body to tilt to the side, and vague cherry marks could be seen on her fair white skin. There are a few on the side of her neck and down on her delicately carved collarbone. Asha came out of her shyness as she sat up to get out of the bed, but her eyes fell on the red marks on her body, and redness tinged her whole face to her earlobes. She just woke up and realized that Samel was not on the bed.She could feel his presence through her soul, and guessed his position in the villa while taking out a towel and bathrobe to the man-mad
New BeginningThird Person’s POVThe atmosphere in the garden of the city lord manor is in full swing. After the ritual of the mate ceremony and the vows of the two fated mates, the main dish was served by the servants of the manor, and the guests were instantly conquered by the tantalizing smell of the seared steak meat that was placed on their tables. The music once again sounded in the surroundings, and the two protagonists of the night walked down the platform and into the central pavilion where their friends and families are staying.Their arrival near the pavilions instantly caught the attention of the guests, and the veil that was on Asha’s face before is now gone which caused most of the guests to pause on their movements while looking incredulously at the enchanting and mesmerizing face of the young lady that appeared beside their city lord as his fated mate. How could there be such a beautiful person in this world? The young ladies that are still stunned silly felt a lot
FatedThird Person’s POVThe sound of the flute followed the steps of the two protagonists of the night. Every step the two takes, the wolf lanterns on the side of their archways lit up like it is leading the way for them, and the moment the two of them arrived at the crescent platform, bursts of silver lights could be seen exploding up in the dark blue sky as drum beats sounded which heightened the excitement of the crowd of guests.Samel stepped forward and stood still at the other end of the crescent platform, and Asha did the same while their eyes stayed staring at each other from the distance. The fireworks in the sky continued to go off one after another, and the silver lights that exploded resembled the fall of a rain that sprinkled down gently on the entire garden of the city lord manor. The flute and the drum joined to create a mesmerizing melody that only sounds pleasant to the ears. Everything is so magical and magnificent that the young ladies that were invited to the
Vows Third Person’s POV.The reunion of the brother and sister fell into the eyes of Samel and the others. Samel glanced at the soldiers of the rebel army to help the other survivors of the Blood Wolves clan inside the manor. And he did not wait for Raval to report about the affairs that happened in the headquarters of the rebel army, because he is already striding towards Asha and Arkon’s direction. He stopped a few steps behind Asha and waited for the brother and sister to let go of each other.Asha has long felt the presence of her mate approaching from behind, and after letting her emotions calm down through the warmth that is coming from the embrace of her eldest brother, she gently let go and took a step backwards while smiling brightly at Arkon. And under the surprised eyes of her eldest brother, Asha turned to the side and pulled Samel’s right hand to let him stand next to her. “Eldest brother, this is Samel, my fated mate.”All the words that she wants to say to her elde
Mate CeremonyThird Person’s POVElish’s cries echoed in the still courtyard, and the two personal subordinates of crown prince Rogeus could only cower in the corner while looking at their master with worried looks. Even though they do not know what is happening, from the words of the young lady, their crown prince’s mate seems to be accusing him of murdering someone who is close to her. They have been following crown prince Rogeus since they were adolescents, and they are aware of the things he did to get the appreciation of the King. In the past, it might be about letting the wealth of the royal palace prosper, but this year, the king ordered their crown prince a lot of things that they could not pry into. Killing someone would not be impossible, and judging by the frozen figure of their crown prince, then the young lady’s accusations must be the truth.The two personal subordinates felt their heads aching as their worries for their crown prince skyrocketed. If their conjecture
Truth IIIThird Person’s POVIt took Elish over two hours to stand up from the floor of her room. The sudden movement of her limbs caused the stiff muscles to creak with numbness as she swayed to the side and fell down without an ounce of strength. The force from falling on the wooden floor did not even arouse any expression on her face, and the pain seems to be negligible in contrast to the pain that is swarming in her chest.The content of the letter keeps on resounding in her mind without a pause, and the hatred and grief intermingled with no outlet for her to vent on. Although she knew that it is the work of the crown prince of the Artemia Kingdom, the advice of her uncle seems to have formed a chain on her ankles to stop her from moving past the moral bottom line that was taught to them in the village.Elish knows that her family and the rest of the clan members would not be able to rest in piece if they know that she stained her soul and hands with blood. The Jade clan has a

The ice worms in the prison cell that suddenly swarmed to King Regor did not waste any time to wriggle their chubby bodies to the only source of warmth in the room. With the ice glass and the metal wall confining them, they could only sense King Regor’s presence and not the presence of the four individuals that are watching through the ice glass door.It is the reason why the soldiers would not care much about the existence of the ice worm prison cells, because aside from sleeping all year round, the ice worms could only stay in the underground and could not touch any heat that comes from the sun or a fire. They desire for a source of warmth, but their bodies would whither the moment they felt the heat coming from any kinds of fire.This is the reason why the ice worms could only look for the warmth of the human body, and burro

The two were greeted by the military chef that accompanied their group to take care of their meals with a wide smile. “Good morning Priestess and General, the breakfast is ready, please enjoy your meal.”Priestess Eva smiled and nodded at the other party before helping General Markus by carrying the small tray of two bottles of warm milk that is left after he took away the two bigger trays that holds both of their breakfast. They settled in a table near the back kitchen before digging in on the filling meal.After they finished their breakfast and took an hour to wash themselves and change into clean and tidy robes, Priestess Eva did not hesitate to take General Markus to King Regor’s current prison cell.

Demise IIIThird Person’s POVThe capital city of the Artemia Kingdom is filled with liveliness due to the arrival of the envoys from the different forces across the land of Selestine. The hospitality of the royal palace is top notch, and no complaints could be heard from the guests, but most of them merely acted perfunctorily at the welcome banquet while screening for the answers that they need about the disappearance of King Regor. The prince from the Black Kingdom used a lot of gold to buy some information from the servants of the royal palace, and he sent a letter back to his royal father with satisfaction. Most of the servants in the royal palace has experienced the night of the attack when King Regor was taken, and a few of them could not endure the temptation of the huge amount of wealth that the prince of the Black Kingdom is giving in exchange for a couple of words from their mouths.The Mist and Cole clan leader did not care about the small movements of the guests, and
