The morning sun shone on the kingdom of Merrill with its gentle light. Beautifully blooming flowers adorned the whole kingdom and the birds singing made beautiful sounds. The parents smile with happiness in their eyes while hugging each other, watching their children playing happily. This kingdom is so beautiful and peaceful. It was like heaven on the hill.A girl was standing on the balcony of her room smiling, looking at the front yard of the palace, which was filled with flowers. She was beautiful the way flower and sunlight were beautiful, warm and glowing and golden. She has the face of a goddess with long blonde hair that reaches down to her waist. Her name is Violet Valerina. She is the princess of the Merrill kingdom.The smile on her face suddenly disappeared and turned into fear as she watched the border guard enter the palace gates on his horse with his body covered in wounds and blood.She immediately walked out of her room with a racing
Violet was being locked in a cage pulled by horses. The beautiful princess has now become a slave. She was scared and alone. She felt like a rabbit among the beasts.Fear gripped Violet even tighter, making her heart beat faster and faster as the gates of Melancthon palace opened and Lucian and his entourage walked in and stopped at the main entrance to the palace.Lucian dismounted from his horse and smiled back at a woman who was waiting for him at the door with two maids behind her. Lucian then walked over and stood before the woman as his entourage dismounted from their horses.The woman's name is Selina Steverus. She is 23 years old. She is 3 years younger than Lucian. She has long, black hair and beautiful black eyes. She was beautiful the way a black rose, beautiful but deadly.“Have you killed him?” Selina asked into Lucian's eyes. “He killed himself before I killed him,” said Lucian.
Violet was kneeling on the floor in a room, lowering her head, trying to avoid Lucian's gaze who was sitting on the sofa in front of her. Her heart worked in a fast and broken rhythm she could feel against her ribs. She was so scared she felt like a lamb to be slaughtered.Lucian couldn't take his eyes off her, her beauty bewitched him. His heart beat uncontrollably every time he saw her. He wanted her so badly, he couldn’t help himself.Lucian clenched his palms as he snapped at himself that he must not fall for the daughter of the man who killed his father. He had to hate her so he could torture her.“This uniform suits her very well.” The two soldiers who were standing behind Violet had mocking smiles on their faces upon hearing what Lucian said.“My prince. I think it would suit her even better if she wore nothing,” one soldier said with a mischievous look. Violet quickly raised her face to look at Lucian. Fear gripped her even tighter when sh
The gentle sunlight came in through the window of Princess Selina's room. The room was so beautiful and majestic. Everything in this room dominated by white. The room is spacious and painted white. A fine white carpet covered the floor of the room like snow. White roses decorate the entire room, making this room even more beautiful.Selina was sitting in a chair looking at her face in the mirror of the dressing table in front of her. Her maid stood behind her, brushing her beautiful long black hair.“My princess, you are so beautiful like a goddess.”Selina smiled at her maid from the mirror with prideful on her face. Her maid smiled back at her with a fake smile. Selina has a face as beautiful as a white rose, but everyone knows that she has a heart as black as a black rose.Someone suddenly knocked on the door of the room. “Come in,” Selina said as she kept admiring her face in the mirror. The door opened, and a maid walked into the room and sto
The soldiers led Violet to the maids' bathroom. It was Lucian who ordered them to take her to that room so she could clean herself. “Violet, are you all right?” Esther asked worriedly when they were standing at the bathroom door. Not a single word came out of Violet's mouth, only tears dripped from her sad eyes. “We leave her to you,” one soldier said into Esther's eyes. She nodded at him before those soldiers left the room.Esther sighed sadly inside seeing Violet's pale face, her uniform and her body were dirty and smelly. “You should take a bath now and change your clothes,” Esther said. Then she took Violet's arm and led her into the bathroom.Violet had finished bathing and changed into her uniform. The beautiful flower has become as beautiful as it should be. Esther smiled warmly at Violet, who was standing in front of her. “Let's have breakfast now. You must be hungry,” she said. Violet shook her head. “I'm not hungry.”Esther sigh
Lucian walked into his uncle's room and he saw his uncle with Selina sitting on the couch, staring at him with anger in their eyes. His uncle's name was Luther Steverus. He is the younger brother of Lucian's father.“Uncle, Albert said you wanted to see me,” Lucian said as he sat on the couch opposite theirs.“Why did you make that girl your slave? You must kill her now!” his uncle said, raising his voice.Lucian smiled casually. “I did that not without reason.” His face turned serious. “We still can't find where Darius is. My informant said that Darius has fallen in love with Violet, so I want to use her to catch him. He will come out of hiding to save her and we will be able to kill him.”Lucian said a lie. The truth was, he found out about the news when his informant told him last night and he used that excuse to save Violet's life so she could stay in his arms.His uncle furrowed his brows in thought. “That's a good plan,” he said as he nodded
In the kingdom of Merrill.This kingdom is not as beautiful and peaceful as before. The flowers that previously bloomed so beautifully were now scattered, covering the blood on the ground. There were no more birds singing beautifully, only a flock of crows devouring the corpses of the soldiers.There was no longer the cheerful laughter of the children. All that could be heard now was weeping and gnashing of teeth. Violet's mother was standing by the window in her room, staring at the moon covered in black clouds, with tears streaming down her cheeks. Grief and despair gripped her firmly at the same time, making her unable to think straight. She could no longer hold back the sadness in her heart, so she chose to end it.She wiped her tears, walked to her bed, and sat there. She took the knife from the bed and placed it close to her beating heart. “Violet... Please forgive me....” she said in tears.Suddenly, her bedroom door opened just as she was
“Open this door now!” It surprised Violet to hear a woman's voice banging on the door. She recognized the voice. It was the voice of the maid who bullied her back then. Her heart was racing with both fear and anxiety as her body petrified. She too scared to get up from her chair to open the door. “I knew you were in there! Open this door or Princess Selina will cut your head off!” Violet had no choice but to obey. She then stood up from her chair, walked over, and opened the door. The maid shoved Violet on the shoulder hard as she walked in and stood before her with her angry eyes fixed on hers.“Move now! Princess Selina ordered you to clean her room!” “I must not leave this room. Prince Lucian ordered me to do that.” The maid suddenly slapped Violet’s cheek so hard. “You better shut up or I’ll slap you every time you open your mouth,” she said, glaring at her. Violet held her cheek with her trembling hand while enduring the pa

Dark clouds covered the sky as Oliver's body burned in the fire. The rain that fell hide the tears that dripped from Lucian's, Eric's, and Horace's eyes. Garret who was standing with them looked at them with sadness filling his eyes. He could feel how sad they were to lose Oliver forever.They all returned to the tent after the burial ceremony was over. Lucian was sitting on a chair while Eric, Horace, and Garret were standing in front of him."Your Highness, I'm sorry for your loss," Garret said into Lucian's eyes in a mournful tone. Lucian said nothing just looking at him with deep sadness in his eyes.Garret was silent as he hesitated to speak. He asked himself if this was the right time to pass the message from his queen to him. "Your Highness," he finally said. "I just got a message from my queen. She said she wanted to meet you at her palace.""How dare your queen ask our king that after what she has done to us! She is the one who declared war! All
Violet laid Darius' body on the bed in tears. She placed the wood carving in the shape of the violet flower that took his life in his hands which was on his chest. She stared at his face with her heart crying. Sadness and guilt gripped her at the same time because she had taken the life of the person who loved her with all his heart.Violet wiped her tears as she tried to stop crying. She told herself she must save the life of the person she loves most. She then walked to the door and opened it. There were no guards manning the door because Darius had told them to leave. She quickly ran to find Garret. He is the head of the palace guard who is loyal to Aurora. She wanted to ask him for help to save his queen.Violet felt relieved when she saw Garret and the six guards walking down the hall of the palace. "Wait!" she said in a loud voice making them all turn their heads towards her. She quickly ran over and stood in front of them catching her breath. Albion and
The sun had set when Violet was sitting on a bed in her room. She was staring at a wood carving in the shape of a violet flower in her hands. It was Darius who carved it for her and gave it to her as her birthday present. She took it with her when she and her mother ran away from their palace.She touched the flower stalk with her heart beating fast in fear. "Don't be afraid. You have to do that. You have to kill him to save him," she told herself over and over again.She quickly put the flower in her hands under the pillow when she heard footsteps approaching her room and she looked at the door while trying to calm her rapid heartbeat."Princess Violet, Prince Darius wants you to see him now," a man said from behind the door.Curiosity took over Violet's mind upon hearing what the man said. She stood up from the bed, walked over to the door and opened it.She saw a man dressed in army uniform standing in front of her.He is one of Darius'
After Darius brought Violet back to her room, he went to the room where Aurora was lying on the bed. He walked into the room and closed the door. The doctor who had just finished injecting the potion into the vein in Aurora's arm bowed with a wicked smile on his face as Darius stood by the bed. "My prince," he greeted him."Leave us," Darius said with his eyes fixed on Aurora's face. "Yes, my prince," the doctor said obediently. He walked to the door and closed it before he left the room.Darius sat on the bed staring at Aurora's face with an evil smile on his face. "You told me you really loved the story of the sleeping beauty. You wish you could become like her. You should thank me for making your wish come true," he said in a soft, mocking tone.Anger burned within Aurora upon hearing what Darius said. Her heart screamed and cried in sadness and pain. Tears dripped from her closed eyes."Please ... don't cry," he said pretending to be sad. "It breaks m
Black clouds covered the moon and stars, imprison them in the dark. Tears dripped from Violet's closed eyes. She was lying on the bed with Darius beside her who was sleeping. Every night he f*cked her. He made her feel like she was living in hell and there was no way to escape.Violet opened her eyes then she looked at Darius' face with hatred and anger filling her eyes. She told herself that this was a good chance to kill him. But how to kill him she asked herself. She doesn't have a knife; she doesn't even have a fork. She wanted to strangle his neck to death, but she didn't have the strength to do so.The furrow on her forehead disappeared when her brain told her something. "Right! I have to pretend to obey him and be kind to him so I can get out of this room," she said in her mind.She moved her gaze away from his face looking ahead and closed her eyes. "No! Please ... Please help me. I'm scared," she said in fear. She pretended to have a bad dream.
Aurora opened her eyes, awake from her nightmare. Her heart beats even faster in fear as she realizes her nightmare has become a reality. She was being tied to the cross with a piece of cloth stuffed into her mouth. She struggled to get her hands off the cross, but it was no use. She was so helpless she couldn't even scream, she could only cry.Anger, sadness and disappointment filled her eyes as she saw Darius, who was sitting on a wooden chair in front of her, with two of his men standing on his left and right. They were staring at her with evil looks in their eyes.The man standing on the left looked at Darius. "My prince, are you going to kill her now?" he asked. The man shocked Aurora by asking that."I can't kill her now. Everyone would be suspicious if I did that," Darius said as he kept staring into Aurora's face."My prince, you can't let her live. She already knows about you," the man standing on the right saidwith a wary look.
"Kill them all! Show them no mercy!" Lucian shouted in anger, with a sword in his hand. He and his armies are fighting to get their land back. Lucian slaughtered his enemies without mercy. He pierced their hearts, slashing their heads. He vented his anger in them. All he had in mind was to kill them all and bring Violet back into his arms. He desperately wanted to skin Darius alive with his own hands.Horace, Eric, and Oliver kept protecting their king from the attacks of their enemies. They knew what was on his mind. He couldn't think straight because of the anger that was burning inside him and that made them so worried about him.In one day, Lucian and his armies have killed all their enemies and got the village of Tyrus back. The ground was covered with blood, flesh, and the body parts of their enemies scattered everywhere."Tell our armies to move now. We must go to Tingis and kill them all!" Lucian said into Horace's eyes as he caught his breath. He looked
"Kill them all!" Baracus, who was on his horse, said in a loud voice to his soldiers. They are invading the village of Edessa. The soldiers defending the village trembled in fear at the sight of their enemies, who were shouting bravely while raising their swords. The fear that crept into their souls made them lose their courage and leave nothing but helplessness.The soldiers of Baracus attacked their enemies and killed them without mercy. They tore out their chests and pulled out their hearts. They pierced their eyes and behead their heads. Their blood, flesh, and heads scattered on the ground. The sounds of screams of pain escaping from their mouths made those who heard them tremble in fear and grit their teeth.Three men on horses suddenly appeared from behind Baracus. They run their horses swiftly. One of them beheaded Baracus before he could blink. His head separated from his body and fell to the ground.The soldiers stopped fighting when they s
