The next days that had come was quiet gloomy and cold. It would rain from time to time which makes the cottage gave off a lonely house vibe. The twins are always upstairs playing on their own room while the three adults are doing their personal activities without uttering a single word to each other. Lucia is still quiet mad to her husband Levi but did not fail to take care of him also. She would send snacks inside his workroom at noon because that man had decided to trap his own self inside that room for days. It is also messy inside because of musty looking papers scattering on the floor. Lucia knows that her husband doesn't want her to lay a finger on any of it and just let it be. After she finishes every task she needs to do, Lucia would sit near the window from the kitchen checking if someone's there. Along the days that had passed, she always see bunch of people with torch that looks like searching for something. They had to make it look like this cottage has been abandoned. Th
"You damn witches! After beheading my older brother I finally found your sick den! Come out this once or we will skin you alive!" this voice were coming from the crowd who was surrounding the house. The cottage that has been lively and full of happiness once, is now burning into pieces. But no one is coming out to save their selves from burning. Could it be they accepted their fate already? "Witches has no place in this Kingdom! You are all animals!" someone protested while holding their torch up and down. The Belmorthe family has been inside for minutes but hasn't come out yet. The lady of the cottage which was Lady Molly was utterly alarmed by this situation and currently doing the best that she can to quickly save the twins and their parents. It was a peaceful night! How come this happened so quickly? Did the husband and wife attracted these number of people earlier? "Stay here inside my room okay? Me and your parents will handle this situation. Be good girls
Lady Molly's POV"Just keep on running. No looking back. I know a place somewhere far from this," I said to the family that was with me. Our old cottage that we managed to live on for years is now devastatingly broken. Those evil people from the capital burned it into ashes! All of our important things are in there and we did not even have the chance to take it with us. Luckily, those people mysteriously caught some itch that was passed on to several hosts. If we did not escape there in time, I'm afraid we suffered the same fate. I bought my Book of Shadows with me because this will be useful for us and for the twins in the coming days. "My feet is aching father. Can't we rest first?" Yve said while gasping for air. Their snow white skin had been stained by dirt because of earlier but nonetheless they are okay. Levi refused Yve's wish to rest first. That is a good decision because those people might still be after us even though what happened earlier. He even enco
Queen Rilavia's POV "I need you to put this herb powder on the King's meal every now and then. Understood?" I ordered the servant that was down here in the kitchen. I was handling him a poisonous herb I was hiding inside my bed chambers. This herb can cause hallucinations after days of taking it. And soon, can cause dementia. Such a perfect thing for that idiot king right? While I was smiling by myself, I was immediately annoyed when the stupid servant that I was talking to did not even took the herb I was handling him. What is he? a statue? I snapped my finger at him with great force and there, his senses came back. This castle doesn't even have reliable servants! "Did you hear what I said?! You lousy peasant! Off with your head!" The two castle guard that was behind me heard it then dragged the man out of the kitchen. He can't help but beg for forgiveness. But no, we don't need that kind of servants in this castle of mine. If no one can do it, then I'll be
Third Person's POVAfter the queen had passed out from throwing a fit from earlier, she was awoken by the footsteps of someone coming from outside. She thought to herself that maybe that is her lady in waiting planning to give her a meal. She feels kind of hungry at the moment and she has no idea how many hours has she been unconscious. Sitting on her soft bed, she waits until her lady in waiting finally enters her room carrying a tray with newly cooked soup. It was obvious by the steam that was swaying into thin air. "Your Majesty" the lady in waiting called upon Queen Rilavia and then bows her head. Noticing that the Queen is approving her actions, she did not hesitate to come near her and assemble her Majesty's dinner in bed. "How long have I been unconscious? Did the King heard about this?" The Queen asked. "Answering to your Majesty, you have been unconscious for four hours already. The King had heard about your situation but did not say anything."
Lady Molly's POVWhile I was carefully looking on the stamp that was on the letter, I heard fottsteps from the outside. Coud it be the people from the Capital? I immediately hid the unopened letter inside my sleeves and scanned the place that I was in. There's no one around inside my burned cottage but I can still hear tha footsteps that was coming for me. I did not let my guard down immediately because it could be someone that can cause me danger. I even walked towards the burned door that leads towards Levi's old garden. But before I could, someone grabbed me forcefully pinning me on the wall while pointing a dagger at my throat. "Where is the family that lived here?" I heard a man's voice talked with full killing intent. This kind of facade never scares me at all. And why was this unknown man looking for Levi's family? Does he know him? "Why should I tell you? I don't even know who you are," I bravely said. I heard him smirk and angrily leaned the sharpened dagger on my neck even
Yve's POVThe banging inside where I let Luna hid were bringing me a lot of pain. I wanted to let her inform our parents. Even Lady Molly, but we just can't. Due to our situation right now running like a mice being chased by a cat, attracting a lot of attention could bring us all to our dead end.I was holding the dagger behind me waiting for the guy Luna was talking about. Soon, I heard clanking of iron getting nearer. I took a deep breathe and position myself near the window.The unknown man soon made it's appearance. He was bald and had a lots of scar carved on his naked torso. He scanned the room carefully like he was looking for something. Or should I say, looking for us. Luckily, he did not turn his head from where I was standing still. He looked down again from where his friends was."There's no one in here! Are you sure you've seen the Albino girl in here?" He exclaimed.I heard no response on his questions. But before he could tilt his head towards my direction, I swiftly sli
Ever since the mysterious itch sent numerous people to their own grave, the neighboring kingdom decided to shut their communication and friendship towards the Kingdom of Argania. King Natan was very furious because of this but he cannot do anything about it because after years of acquiring the mysterious itch, the cure hasn't been found yet. His hair are starting to show silver lines and wrinkles above his forehead are getting more visible. He also suffers from hallucinations from time to time making him look like the crazy King. The Kingdom of Argania had been on a bloodbath after years had passed. There is no one to tend the corpses that has already rotten on the streets. All of them were busy hiding, isolating, and surviving from this plague. Some physicians that had survived, discovered that this certain events is caused by a certain animal.

Yve's POV"Come on now, Luna. We have been practicing archery for weeks! Father would be furious if he saw you not having any progress," I told Luna gently while my hands are on my hips. It has been years ever since we lived on the Northern Forest. But we cannot find peace because the people of Argania are still pursuing us. Me and my twin Luna had finally understood why were they after us. Our father, Levi made us understood our situation. And that is why here we are, practicing archery for our self defense. ''But it is really hard! My hands are still shaky. I think archery is not for me sister." Before I could even answer her back, our mother called us inside our small cottage shouting that it's time for dinner. We have no choice but to get inside or else she will be angry again.We've reached the age of seventeen and we cannot act like little girls anymore. Lady Molly who hasn't changed for the past few years also taught me different kinds of herbs and crystals that might be usefu
