But why is the Hencher Mistress taking her to her room¿ Well, let’s find our together.. See yA! {And hey, I’m sorry I didn’t upload yesterday. Something very annoying happened. This very chapter you’re reading, I had to write it twice because when I was done writing it yesterday, I mistakenly deleted it, and believe you me, there’s nothing more annoying than that in the whole world!! I had been too angry to rewrite yesterday so that’s why you’re seeing today. So yeah. That’s itx see ya}
{Ciril’s POV}My chest started heaving as my heart started to beat threateningly fast.I was not on the public post anymore. I was free. I was literally free to roam about, free to go anywhere I wanted to.— free to leave this place.But then I heard from the Hencher Mistress that we weren’t escaping anywhere… but going to her room. I was confused.Her room?I had been bound to heavy chains for more than two weeks just for her to set me free and want to take me to her room?I bombarded her with questions now as we raced through the shadows. The Palace lights and lamps were off so that the full Moon was the only light source which gave us the grace to move about sneakily, but then I was almost jinxing it with my restlessness and questioning.“But we’re not going to stay in your room, right?” I asked. “Did you forget something in your room?” “Does your room have a secret doorway that can help us escape secretly?” I asked again when she didn’t respond to the first two questions. She
{Ciril’s POV}I saw the Hencher Mistress claws out for the first time ever.I had never seen her looking so aggressive.I had never seen her so enraged. The hairs on her body rose and grew thicker as she shifted into her werewolf form and I stared at her with a mixture of dread and shock.I started to hear a loud banging sound now. Taka and his cronies were attempting to kick the door down.I trembled back in reaction but the Hencher Mistress stood her ground as we both stared at the door that was slowly budging to their brutish nudges. I could see the hinges of the door gradually giving in to their physical demands as they started to pull out from the walls and the way my breath grew very heavy in that moment was agonizing.Breathing almost felt painful now. Several kicks were being dumped on the door and all the structural reinforcements the Hencher Mistress had made were slowly giving out and I didn’t know what to think or do.I only knew that death wasn’t far away from me now. I
{Prince Landon’s POV}~ Few Minutes Earlier ~ Everything was ready.The scene was set and everyone was here to witness my magnification by the moon goddess. Everything was perfect. Although I didn’t understand what happened with the whirlwind and sandstorm that had attacked the Palace earlier, but then it had calmed down while I trailed about the Palace and performed the Guirgon rituals with the Half elders. Without that ritual, I wouldn’t be able to earn and receive the moon goddess’s soul so I had done it with the half elders earlier during which the whirlwind calmed its currents, making my entrance into the Revel Hall more divine. There was no other proof I needed to know that I was definitely the destined vessel of the moon goddess and the candidate for the Guirgon full moon. This had made me really confident in myself but while we waited now, my confidence sprouted a bit of a scuffle.My mother wanted Ciril’s head to be brought here to the Hall as a gift from the congregation
{Princess Anne’s POV} The lucent light left the Revel Hall and all its vile bodies behind.I was outside the Hall and I felt its presence before it passed me by.I was blind but I could see it with my senses.The Prophecy from years ago was finally about to come to pass..The light left my axis and then it trailed through the Palace grounds directly over the heads of people around— not interacting with them but claiming their attention as no one could resist not looking at the bright and beautiful glow that was traveling the night sky. This glow was the Moon goddess spirit and although she was just in the form of a light, she was very conscious of her movements and orientation. The moon goddess’s soul traveled through the stretch of the Palace until it got to a secluded room in one part of the Palace.Her vessel was in there..Her gentle soul hovered over that room for a moment and then, at its own timing, it entered and sank into the body of the one who she had Chosen right from th
{Ciril’s POV} I didn’t really understand how I got outside the room but I raced back inside now. I raced back and crashed on the ground before the Hencher Mistress who was surrounded by a pool of her own blood. I held her face— her beautiful face, as she blinked almost unconsciously and I shook her up a bit so that she focused her gaze on me. She smiled. “Ciril.” She called my name gently and shook my head as more tears poured out of my eyes. “Are you okay? Please tell me you’re not dying…” I muttered as I stroked her cheeks and then I looked around to see all the bodies that littered the ground. “Tenn… he stabbed you.” I muttered as I recalled and then I looked at the knife that was still in her belly. It was buried deeper now and seeing that broke me. “Ciril.” She called me but I ignored her as I tried to lift her up. She groaned with my attempt so that I immediately left her and panicked the more.“I can’t let you die.” I shot you to my feet. “I’ll go and get help.” I sugges
Chapter 98 ~ {Prince Landon’s POV} I didn’t understand what had happened.One second it was here and the next, it was gone.The hall had flown up into a raucous mood but I remained calm as I tried to make meaning of what I had just witnessed.I didn’t want to believe that the moon goddess had rejected me.That can’t be a possibility.I was prophesied as the vessel. I was told to be the chosen one from my birth so there was no way that the moon goddess could have rejected me.— especially after coming so close to me.She was this close…There had to be an explanation. I turned and faced the elders once again and I watched them as they raced between one another, asking questions and seeking answers.I didn’t want to believe that they were confused too. I didn’t want to believe that they didn’t have an answer.I clenched my fists and then I crept down from the raised platform that had been built for me. I climbed down and then I stopped before the area where the elders were perched, c
{The Hencher Mistress’ POV} “It’s Anne. Can you tell a story— the story of how a mother had to give up her child for the greater good.”“You’re about to die and Ciril who is out there wandering through the forest needs to know about the beginning so make me the new narrator by telling me.” I heard those words and I understood. I had lost so much blood but then I could afford to tell the tale before my life quenched.I started…**[Flashback To 17 Years Ago]I have not always been the Hencher Mistress of the Palace…I once had a daughter and a sick husband. But then my husband died from his sickness. He had been a General in the Royal army, hence why I was a mistress, but then his sickness killed him. My daughter and I were left alone but then life was still good— I loved my daughter and lived for her and my responsibility in her life made the pain of losing my husband go away soon.And so life was good.I was one of the esteemed Mistresses of the Palace and I lived my life to the fu
{Prince Landon’s POV} We were in the Private Quarters. By we, I mean my mother, Abasha, Ivanka, Dylan, Anita, Balif, and some other guards. Weirdly, Anne was here too and I wondered what she was doing here since I had gotten used to her weird absence from our lives recently. But then I didn’t really care. Thinking of how strange Anne had become was the last thing on my mind. We were all together, and there was a momentary silence but then the uneasiness on everyone’s faces was screaming. There were also periodical bouts of outbursts.“How? How is this possible? It doesn’t make sense.”That was Abasha’s bout of outburst. “That slave doesn’t deserve it.” “Yes, you’re right. She must have done something to influence the process. She’s too wretched and filthy to be chosen! I mean, she’s a fucking slave!” That was Ivanka responding to Abasha. “This is bad, man. This is really bad” That was Dylan— standing before me and trying to get me into the conversation.I was seated on a woo
{Ciril’s POV} I lunged at the Alpha Queen, wanting to grasp her and begin her own sequence of torture but then these idiots jumped in the way. These weak idiots who swore their loyalties to her. Her warriors.In her defense, a whole lot of them stormed at me even though it was pretty obvious they didn’t want to. They were scared but did it nonetheless and I saw it as bravery.I was impressed by it but then I was going to teach them a lesson for it.I bashed some bodies to the ground with two arm swings now and then I growled as more warriors came at me meanwhile the Alpha Queen was escaping. She ran further away towards the Alpha building. I hadn’t thought this through. I had wanted to scourge the Alpha Queen but then I had forgotten that I was greatly outnumbered and would have to kill my way through.Well, I’m not complaining.Killing has recently become my new and persistent hobby. The warriors surrounded me now and were spread out over a great distance, and taking in the sight
{Ciril’s POV} “Hi.”You know, I once quivered anytime I spoke to the Alpha Queen or Ivanka or any other esteemed bitch in this Palace… but now?I’ve never felt so confident. It felt amazing knowing that they dreaded my presence and not the other way around. It was a really incredible feeling. It felt amazing seeing Ivanka, the same vile Cunt that always reigned her devilry and aggressiveness upon me— it felt amazing seeing her tremble before me now.One word, “Hi” and I felt all their pulses rise. I decided to be as slow as possible in order to enjoy the moment to the fullest. I decided to take my time.— go to them one by one.I rested my gaze on Ivanka now, and I smirked. My first specimen. She was scowling at me and breathing heavily in her attempt to hide her uneasiness. She looked stupid. I wished I could tell her that. Oh, wait. I could.“Hi, Ivanka. You look stupid.” I said now and she tensed at me addressing her before she scowled.“You think being the Champion means an
{Ciril’s POV} I spilled blood and I reigned chaos… .. but then I was only just getting started.Weirdly, there were only a couple of warriors left for me to kill— a litter of about fifteen of them after I had just killed dozens. It was weird because I expected the Alpha Queen to send the entire Garrison after me since she knew I was here.Anyhoo…I punched my claws into the throat of one of the warriors just as he tried to attack me, and with the force of my bashing, his head instantly separated from his body and just stayed there on my claws.I used it to smash into the head of another attempting Cunt— skull collided with skull and they both cracked.“AHHH!” I heard the yell of a new warrior who was trying to be brave as he raced toward me with every aggressiveness he could offer. He got to me but just as he swung his blow for my head, I bent down and swept him off his feet with my hand grabbing his leg. I held him up in the air and growled at the rest of them so that they tremble
{Ciril’s POV} “Woah.”“Oh my...”Those, among several others, were the comments from Clord and Feryt. It was a few hours past midday and the once-clear clouds had suddenly gone dark… because of me. I was raging as I focused my eyes on these very walls that had caged me with gloom and torment. I was heaving now and as a result, Clord and the others knew that the sky’s fury was my doing— a reflection of my grief and rage. It was thundering loudly now and the wind all around us was beginning to grow wilder. I reveled in the pending ChaosI was about to resume my trail towards the Palace but then a voice stopped me. “Ciril?” The voice said beside me now and I instantly veered my gaze to the side to see Feryt. She trembled slightly with my gaze.“What do we do now?” She asked me. She spoke loudly since the wind was getting more fierce by the second and crowding the silence as a result. The skies thundered again.“Stay here.” I said now with my scowl evident on my face. “Stay here until
{Ciril’s POV} I didn’t say a word.I didn’t say a word to any of them. All I did was walk, trek, trudge— all of them. And this made us go faster.At the pace we were going, I calculated that we might actually get to the Palace in a day— or not. After some hours of my ignorance and my fast traveling, they stopped me.By they, I mean the democratic bunch— Feryt, Clord, and Gordius. Feryt was their leader or representative this time around and she crept before me to prevent me from moving forward.I scowled at her when she suddenly appeared before me. “Ciril, we need to talk.” She told me. I shifted to the side and slipped past her, continuing onwards but then she was stubborn so that she trailed after me and blocked my trail again.“Ciril, stop! Just stop and listen, okay?!” She said with a stern tone and was immediately joined by Gordius on her right and Clord on her left. As usual, Gordius was annoyingly confident with his old face while Clord looked frightened by me but then the
{Ciril’s POV} “What?”“What?”Anika and I said simultaneously.Her ‘What’ was the first one. I looked at her just as she looked at me, and then we both looked at Gordius who had initiated the confusion.“Oh, I’m going to like this.” Clord said as he sat down on the ground beside one of the Bears. It growled at him so he shifted away to a new position before refocusing his gaze upon us and smiling.I glared at him. “Stand up. I told you we’re not stopping yet.” I said to him and then I turned to Gordius.“For the last time, stop messing with me, Gordius.” I told him and then I looked between Feryt and Anika. “Let’s keep moving.” I said and then turned to continue on my way. “I’m not messing with you, Ciril.” I heard Gordius’ voice again. “This girl right here is the one who will train you.” I halted. And then I spun around and started trudging to him with my bashful intent— I clenched my fist tight. I was done hearing his voice so it was time to shut him up… since he didn’t want to
Chapter 145 {Ciril’s POV} Morning came, and with it a new creed.A vengeful one. I got up with my heart evidently beating— it knew today marked the beginning of something significant. Something chaotic.I sat outside on a log of wood in between the guards of both of my Bears. I sat there motionlessly and waited for the rest to wake up. And eventually, they did. After several minutes, they strolled out simultaneously to see me seated motionlessly with my eyes closed. I was now meditating. I hated the concept but then yesterday had made me realize that it was an important concept and that Gordius was right. My emotions were controlling me and I needed to work on making it the other way round. I need to be the one in control. But then at the end of the day, I didn’t really care that I was being ruled by my emotions since I could still kill my enemies in that State. I only cared now because I didn’t want anything to jinx my fighting over at the Palace since Gordius said that meditati
{Ciril’s POV} I touched the twin half-love-shaped metal bracelets on my wrist now Erin just gave me the most shocking but relieving news.The Hencher Mistress was alive. All this time I had just been hoping— praying that she hadn’t died that day, but then over time, realization started to sink in and I started to welcome the fact that I may have lost her.— since I had recalled how fatal-looking the wound on her belly was, plus she had betrayed the Palace by helping me and I had left her in the hands of those wretches. All these conditions put together didn’t seem like a combination that the Hencher Mistress would survive in her condition and so I had spent frequent nights crying about it and hating myself for leaving her can there that day. … but now it turns out that I had concluded wrongly. All this while, I had grieved and beaten myself up in vain for the Hencher Mistress was alive.My mother was alive.Fresh tears glossed up my eyes now and Anika and the others noticed this a
{Ciril’s POV} “Why?”“What do you mean?”Anika had stopped me with her words and I was staring at her now, wondering why she was asking to go back to the same dreadful place she had just escaped from.“I mean that we have to return to the Palace because it will be a dire matter if we don’t.” She said now, confusing me the more. Clord, Gordius, and Feryt shifted back to our axis now, seeing that we were not trailing after them anymore.“What’s going on?” Feryt asked and I turned to look at her from my dazement. “She says we have to return to the Palace.” I said, still in confusion.“Wait. What?” Clord said now, stepping forward. “You’re joking, right?” He asked her with an odd laugh and when she didn’t respond, he turned to me.“She’s… she’s joking, right?”I returned my attention back to Anika now. “What’s your reason? I don’t understand what you’re saying, Anika.” I said to her now. “What dire matter are you referring to?”I spoke rather calmly now, and I did so because I didn’t wan
