Lady Molly's POV

While 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?

    ''Lucia, you know how much I loved you. I won't give up on you and that child you are carrying. As long as I am alive, you don't have to worry about anything else,'' Levi carefully said to his wife to be as they lie beneath the bright moon and the shining stars witnessing their endless love. The two of them had been together for years now and Lucia was able to conceive a child last March. It was already October fourth and her belly is starting to grew even bigger than it was before. Lucia decided to hug her beloved as she got the assurance that she wanted because she knows that Levi's family doesn't accept her for their only son as they know that her family was labeled as the poorest of the poor. Her father is a lumber and her mother is a maid in the household of Lord Lewis. Having this kind of family background, surely is very shameful to those families who have it better than people like her. She is very anxious when it comes to their relationship because she knows that Levi's fam

I didn't got up early on my bed that is covered with wool fabric that kept me warm every cold evenings that passed me by. This day, I planned to gather some materials for my witchcraft that I have been practicing for many years. My bedchamber is almost filled with different crystals and dried herbs hanging on the stone walls creating a musty smell surrounding the air that I breathe inside this room.

I know that she usually come inside here because her smell and aura doesn't disperse even after how many hours have already passed.

"Greetings lovely people of Argania. I am here to announce that his highness King Natan is looking for help to cure the illness he had acquired a few days ago." Lady Molly whispered to herself some several questions. "The king is sick? was it connected to that old man sneaking on our home targeting one of the albino sister?" No one heard her voice whispering as the people that was with her listening to the soldiers are talking as well. "His sickness gets worse day by day, so if anyone would like to volunteer them selves to find the cure for the king will be rewarded handsomely," the soldier said loudly and sternly to make sure that the people heard him loud and clear.

    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."

    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

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

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.
