Bound by Blood A war coming
"How are you sure it was the people of Kazeera that sneaked into the castle and killed the king. And why would you even blame them? Not like they have anything against our kingdom." One man who was a Marque stood up to say. "And your majesty, don't you think it is wrong to sit on the king's throne when he just died?""I know it was them as they would want to avenge their king that is held hostage by us." Evelyn replied the marque in anger. "And the ruler of the kingdom just died. The kingdom would not be left without a head. I choose to step in.""The king of Kazeera is held hostage? For what reason?" Another person spoke up, seemingly not pleased with the information. "And your majesty, that is not how a new ruler is chosen.""How do you think Durville grew to be so prosperous? We is in our nature to take things and make them ours." Evelyn explained. "And you don't tell me what to do. I choose to be the new ruler. You all should be appreciating me. One more word of protest, you shall
Bound by Blood I miss my family
Luciana stared at the prince like he said something a crazy person would say. Or perhaps he was crazy. Or maybe she heard him wrong. She decided to ask again."What did you say?""I said we are married Lucy."She laughed nervously. She would have believed it to be a joke, but he didn't seem like he was in the mood to throw jokes.She then realized something."That's what you gave me to sign.""Yes. That was our marriage certificate." Raziel said, and Luciana looked dumbfounded.She tapped her forehead with her fingers as if driving away an incoming headache. She took in a sharp intake of breath."What in the world made you marry me without my consent?" She drawled calmly. It even sounded strange to her. She was married?"Don't worry, It can be reversed." Prince Raziel said."Why would you even do that without informing me, without my permission?""Calm down Lucy. I need it to be king. An unmarried man cannot be crowned king." He informed her. He then held her arms. "Listen Lucy, you d
Bound by Blood Midnight visit
"Where is the queen?" Luciana asked the prince after they were done playing around. She had gotten down from the table and taken the seat opposite the one he sat on with the table between them. She thought she needed the distance. The feel of his lips on her skin still lingered on, and it was messing with her mind."She is having the time of her life with rats and other rodents and insects." Raziel gave a nonchalant response."What do you mean?" Luciana asked with a frown."I mean she is locked up in the dungeon." "Why?""For killing the king." He responded in the same casual tone."But she didn't do it. What is going to happen to her?" Luciana asked, looking a little worried."Uhm... the usual. She's going to be tried in the town's council. If she is found guilty, she would be executed."Luciana looked displeased. As much as she didn't like Evelyn, she would not like to see her die for a sin she did not commit. She had always hated the unfairness in the world. "Who accused her in th
Bound by Blood Early lunch
Luciana stared at Arlo unblinkingly for a few seconds, trying to process the funny information she had received. She was royalty now? She laughed. Why didn't she even think of that? "Please don't call me that. It's ridiculous." She laughed again. "I'm sorry princess, but I can't do otherwise." Luciana laughed again. Now she was going to break Raziel's head for real. "Since when did you know that we were married?" Arlo scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Since he asked Luke and I to look after you. I am sorry for not letting you know, we were only following his instructions. He wanted to be the one to tell you. He told only a few of us though." Luciana nodded to herself. Even his soldiers knew she was married, and she didn't. "Princess the prince asked me to invite you over for an early lunch. You skipped breakfast already." Luciana was surprised. "Lunch? Did I wake up that late?" And that title still sounded very funny to her. "Let him know that I will be joining him
Bound by Blood The people are talking
Just as Freya had demanded, Elric took her to see her father and brother's graves. He already told her that he didn't know where her mother and aunty were buried at the moment, as Kruger separated them.Elric already expected her to break down, but what he was seeing was different. First of all, she refused to go too close to the graves, and secondly she wasn't crying, just staring. Perhaps in disbelief.He stood a little far from her to give her privacy, but now he felt like going to check up on her. But then she turned to him."I can't say goodbye. It's hard." She confessed. She was carrying flowers that they bought on their way there, but she didn't know how to drop it on the graves. Saying goodbye meant accepting that she would not see them again, and she was not ready to face that reality. It was too harsh.Elric walked up to her."It's okay. You shouldn't force yourself. We can always come back when you are ready.""I thought I was." She stated with a shake of her head. Seeing t

"How could she even do that? She's the queen of this kingdom. Unfortunately.""She can renounce her position and join in the fight, just like other royals fighting against you." Lorenzo explained.Prince Raziel decided to pay Evelyn a visit, before he met up with the prince of Morbury.Before he got to the cell she was locked in, she heard his footsteps and began to bang on the iron bars unceasingly."A few days in the dungeon can tamper with your brain. I don't blame you." Raziel said when he got to her."Get me out of here, you stupid prince."He smiled when he saw her. It was obvious that she had been banging and screaming. She had even sustained some injuries, some healed, some fresh. Her clothes were rumpled, and her hair unkempt. Even her voice seemed to fail her."You look good your majesty." Raziel taunted her. "I hear you want to join in the fight for the throne.""Yes. And I will not stop until I have your head in my hand." Evelyn threatened angrily, her body literally shakin
Bound by Blood Royal challenge (part 2)
Luciana's heart almost leaped out of her chest when the three men ran violently towards Raziel with weapons in their hands. She almost couldn't watch it, but she forced herself to.The way they came at him, it was as if they had no intention to let go until he is dead. But to her relief, Raziel was quick to dodge their attacks, and he didn't look as bothered as her.The three men surrounded him, ready to attack from every side."If you cannot watch it princess, I can take you somewhere else." Lorenzo offered as he noticed her fear."I can." Luciana stubbornly insisted. She wondered why she was even that affected by the fight. She had seen people being murdered countless number of times, and even if she might not like it, there would be no outward reaction from her.Raziel took his time, dodging every of their attacks, frustrating them. They brought out their daggers and sword, and he still had his attached to his side."Do you think the prince can beat the three of them alone?" Lucian
Bound by Blood Live for me
"Lucy she's dead." Raziel's voice reverberated in her head, and she felt her head spin. "Lucy, Luciana." Raziel called her.Luciana then took in a deep breath and looked up at him."It's fine. I am fine. I have not been seeing her anyway, so it's almost the same thing."Raziel knew she was not fine in any way. She was only trying not to break down, and he didn't want her to resort to her usual coping mechanism again, cutting herself.Dahlia was confused on what was going on. Her sister died? She didn't even know that Luciana had a sister. But she felt bad for her.Raziel then turned to Arlo and Luke."Take her back to the castle and be with her at all times. I will be with you shortly.""I said I am fine your highness. I don't need to be guarded." Luciana stubbornly said, but Raziel ignored her."On no account should you let her out of your sight." He told his soldiers."Yes your highness."Dahlia noticed that the prince was very worried, and she wondered what else what happening. An

Time rolled by fast, and soon it was time for Luciana to deliver. The midwives did their best to ease her pain, and make her comfortable, but it was still a hell of pain for her. Raziel stayed with her all through, holding her hand, giving her his comfort, but even that did not work this time. She ended up hitting and scratching him for the most time. After a moment of difficulty and pain, the baby finally came out. When Luciana heard the cry, all the pain was forgotten. She wanted to reach up for the baby, but the midwife already placed it on her chest. "Congratulations, your majesty. It's a boy." She glanced at Raziel who had his eyes on the baby, before returning her eyes to the miniature being. She stared at the child, her eyes becoming moist. There was this feeling of completeness she had just from staring at him, from hearing his little cries. Raziel still held her hand, kissing the back of her palm as he watched his baby in the arms of his precious wife. He had expected this
Bound by Blood The pregnant Queen
The next few days with Elric were the best for Freya. He had always treated her good, but now he treated her like something so delicate, so precious, so valued. She never knew that she could fall more for him, but she thought wrong. What was there not to fall for? Sometimes she wondered if he was only a figment of her imagination because he was so perfect.Everything was going so perfectly. The construction for her foundation was ongoing, and he had introduced her to some individuals of high status, and they had also supported her. She knew that some of them just wanted to be close to Elric, but she would take every support. At least, they would help her create awareness.It was all laughter and fun, until the night of the next full moon. She had been worried the whole day, and Elric was the one calming her down. There was a chance that he would not pass through his usual episodes, but the uncertainty gnawed at her.Night finally came, and the moon came out. She lay beside him, prepar
Bound by Blood First taste
Elric stared at Freya, concern filling his gaze. She seemed a little frightened, as she hugged herself, her heart beat rising, almost as if she was going into a panic."Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"She shook her head. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you. I just..." She gasped. Just as he was about taking her clothes off, she had a flash back of when she was in Lord Kruger's mansion, and she was forced out of her clothes."Tell me." He urges her on gently, and she took a deep breath."I... it felt like... I only remembered when I was in Lord Kruger's house. He always took my clothes off." She then confessed in one breath, her body trembling a little."Come here." He pulled her into his embrace. "Don't worry, we will take it slowly." He placed a soft kiss on the top of her head, calming her down. "I'm am not Kruger, and I will never ever hurt you." He assured her. "Remember what I told you when you were afraid of letting anyone touch you? I said it was your mind playing tricks on yo
Bound by Blood Let me please you
Freya woke up the next morning, wanting to get out of bed. Then she discovered that there was a weight holding her down. That was when she realized that Elric had slept on her bed. She screamed internally. Now she didn't feel like getting up again.She turned to him, staring at his face. How could someone look so good? Her eyes fell to his lips, and she remembered their kiss the previous night.Elric's lips slowly curved into a smile, and she realized that he was awake."Good morning." He greeted in a low but husky morning voice, and her heart did a little flip. This man was trying her patience. He even had dimples... Ugh!"How long have you been awake?" She asked."A long while now.""And you didn't get up?""I prefer lying down here with you."Oh no, he just woke up and decided to attack her heart.His eyes suddenly opened to meet her orbs, staring back at him."As much as I would love to stay here all day, I have to get up."She nodded in understanding. "How do you feel now?" She c
Bound by Blood Did it work?
Freya didn't let Elric get up, as she basically jumped on him, and he fell back into the bed."You are okay!" She exclaimed, hugging him, her hands tightly wounded around his neck. "You scared me, you scared me so much." She whispered to him."I'm sorry I put you through that." He whispered back, stroking her hair. "I'm really sorry."Luciana and Raziel gave each other a look, before deciding to leave them to their privacy.After hugging him for a little while longer, she pulled herself up, but her legs still straddled him. "How are you feeling? Did it work?"Elric's brows furrowed, before he realized. She had actually stabbed him. That was why he lost consciousness in the first place. What did she use? He remembered the excruciating pain he felt."What did you do to me?"She thinned as lips, as she prepared herself to answer. "Please don't get angry.""I only want to know."She nodded, feeling a little nervous. "It was the vampire poison. Luciana and I... We wanted to kill your vampi
Bound by Blood Dead
Freya didn't know when the hours passed, but the next time she raised her head, it was already morning, and Elric was still yet to wake up. She got up, utterly tired. She didn't sleep at all through the night, hoping that he would wake up.She paced around the room restlessly in confusion, refusing to believe what her mind was telling her. She believed that he would wake up. Perhaps it would just take a little while to work. After walking for a while, she sat on the floor, her back against the wall.She stayed like that for only a few seconds before going back to the bed. She rested her head on his chest to check for his heart beat, but she still heard nothing. Her heart sank to her stomach, and she reached to clutch her own chest. Terror gripped her so hard, she felt like it would fall off.She suddenly burst into laughter. This was all a joke right? Perhaps it was a very bad dream. Because this could not be happening to her. She didn't fall completely and stupidly in love with him j
Bound by Blood Don't leave me
Freya engaged Elric's in talks and some fun games to keep his mind occupied. She also tried playing with his hair, making it the way her mother used to do for her and Luciana, making him appear a bit feminine. She thought he was still handsome in it though. It was as if her attempts to distract him was actually working, as he was still doing a good job controlling himself.But even with all her efforts, Freya couldn't prevent the inevitable. She noticed that he was beginning to experience his torture again when she saw that his palms were tightly clenched, and he had also gone quiet, leaving her to do all the talking. He also had his eyes tightly shut.She reached for his clenched fists, and was surprised to feel moisture. His claws has elongated, and he had wounded himself.Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest, and she just reached to hold his clenched fists. This seemed like it was going to be a very long night."Hey, how are you feeling?" She couldn't help but ask. She wanted to
Bound by Blood Stay
Luciana gave Freya a small dagger, coated with the poison. Freya's heart skipped at the reality of the situation was beginning to dawn on her. This was a really really big risk to take, and the 'what ifs' were too much."Do you need me to stay back and help you with it?" Luciana offered when she noticed Freya's nervousness, but Freya shook her head in refusal."I want to do this. And I think Raziel would throw me in your dungeons if I keep you too long." She joked, and Luciana laughed."Alright then. I wouldn't like to plead on your behalf. People might think I'm bias because you are my sister."Freya only chuckled a bit. "Thank you Lucy. It was nice having you over."After Luciana and Raziel had left, Freya became overly aware of the time. She also kept a very close eye on Elric to know if he planned on leaving the house. But he was just still very much like himself, and it didn't seem like he planned to go anywhere. She still asked Alice to keep an eye on him, just in case she misse
Bound by Blood A much needed closure
Freya was floating among the clouds as she recalled the kiss between her and Elric the previous day. She was currently lying on her bed, but she couldn't help the smile on her face. She decided to write to Luciana."Calm down Freya, it's only a kiss." She scolded herself as she got up. She had been telling herself that since the kiss happened, especially when she was close to Elric.At dinner the previous night, she thought it was going to be awkward between them, but it wasn't at all. He was very casual, and even a little more touchy. Perhaps he would think she was acting like a child. Actually, anyone would think that she was acting like a child.She was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts by a knock on the door. Her heart skipped a little, thinking it was Elric. She opened the door only to find Alice."Good morning, Lady Freya. Did I wake you up?"Freya shook her head. "Not at all. I have been up for a while. Is there a problem?""The duke wants to speak to you. He is in the balcon
