2021-06-09 17:08:54Silence invaded the hall and all the servants kneeled and bowed to the regal man appearing in the sky. As they all remembered, he was a noble and strong man with the charisma of a King, the leader they would all follow to the end of the world.
They didn't expect him to appear right then, but they celebrated it, now a good show will start. Many hoped for him to divorce that woman, as such a lowly luriem should have never stepped inside of the noble land of the Duke of Kobach.
"Your Highness," Madame Su went to her started exclaiming while she lifted her head, after all, as an old woman that had lived so many years with the Duke, she knew that he will excuse her.
"What is going on here?" The man passed through the servants as they kept moving back to let him see the one making a ruckus.
The old woman stepped forward as she thought the Duke was talking to her, "Your Highness, the Duchess…"
She wanted to start rattling about the misconduct of th

Liam then turned around to see the shocked faces of the crowd. Some of them were trembling with paled faces, some others were already kneeling and praying mercy for their lives."Madame Su," Liam looked at the old woman, but this time his voice was nowhere near condescending. "I see that your long time here had made you quite forgetful of who is the Master.""You… Your Highness!" the old woman was tongue-tied, for the first time in many years she was feeling that she had made a terrible mistake."If you can't teach these servants anymore, then it's time for you to retire.""Master…" her voice was going weak into a whisper, she wanted to beg, but she knew that it was useless."Jano!"Liam shouted and a man in blue robes appeared quickly in the sky as if he was summoned."Your Highness, Madame," he bowed at the two beautiful figures."Take her and dismiss her…""Wait!"Emma's voice stopped him f

After a good meal and a comfortable shower, Emma finally recovered enough energy to go around the Duchy. Though, the shameless Duke by her side didn't want to let her go. It took many promises on her side to make the cheeky man stop making her wear a veil.They walked around the beautiful gardens that somehow had bloomed those days. It was said that the land of the Duke followed the heart and energy of its master. If his heart was in peace and happiness, the land would be peaceful and flourishing, however, if his heart was attached to distress and solitude, then the land would suffer dryness and cruel torments.The land, however, never suffered from extreme conditions, instead, it was one of the most beautiful and prosperous Duchys on the continent. Though, right then, the many flowers that had bloomed and the beautiful sky showing the warmest sunrays were a sign of the immense joy the Master was wrapped in."This is beautiful…" Emma smelled the soft arom

"Where has Neo gone?"The Duke had finished his duty as a husband a few minutes ago and his dear wife was still sleeping in the back of the study. She was so weak right then and he liked it. At least, that way she won't go around making him worried."We hadn't found him, my lord," a man in a black mask and dark clothes kneeled before the Duke. He was one of the hidden knights of the Dukedom and probably the most outstanding of them all. "The last place we have a trace about him was the forest in the Grein City, just behind the Capital, however,…""He disappeared?""Yes, my lord, it seemed as if he had vanished.""Did you go there yourself, Sion?""Yes," the man looked up, "it is an illusion. A powerful one… someone is messing in the land of the dragons, a luriem, my lord.""Uriel, that bastard."The eyes of Liam changed almost to a dark color and again a strange thunder clouded the land. He had to calm down a bit

"Why can't I move from this place? You told me that I can go around the inner circle…""Because… sight... my dear, the preparations are not ready yet…"The Duke was coping with his delayed work. The week he enjoyed the company of his dear wife had left numerous reports in his desk.His excuse to anyone who dared to complain was that he was on his honeymoon, though, that was a poor excuse because their little travel to the capital was considered more of a vacation than work."But…"Emma was bored, and she had not been doing anything but look around countless books in his study. He even prohibited her from using her space magic for some time as it made her so weak that she would only sleep at night and stop doing her wifely duties."Darling, we can't take any risks, you know this as well," he said.He had told her that the effects of the Rosaline fragrance were difficult to bear for low-ranking dr

"I don't want children this early…" she said after the crazy Duke let her rest for a few minutes in their bed."Why?"He knew she was concerned about the Rosaline Fragrance and his affection, but even though, he wanted for her to want to stay with him. Even he was not sure about his true feelings, but there was no way he will let her go."We should wait…" Emma said again, but she didn't turn around to face him. She knew that he was well aware of the reason.He kissed her back and nodded, "I will wait for you."He knew that he was not being fair to her, but he had already made up his mind. Even if it was only an illusion, he would never turn his back to her.Emma didn't say a word after that and stayed inside the Duke's embrace.The next morning she woke up again in the tall tower in his private quarters. She was alone and dressed in her silky nightdress.'At least he had some conscience and let me off,' she sighed

"When are you going to comply with our deal, Miss Gia?"Gia was still residing in her mansion in the Capital when unexpectedly, a figure of a man entered her sight. His long hair and beautiful features were always a beautiful sight to see. However, for Gia, he didn't bring anything but bad news."Miss Gia?"She closed the door without letting her maids come inside."I want to be alone," she said to the two girls, and they looked at each other and waited for her a few steps from the door.Uriel was elegantly sipping his tea as if he were the owner of the place. She knew that he was beautiful, much more than any woman in Avalor and maybe the whole world, but Gia didn't like him. Not an inch.Even if the refined features of his face coupled with his exquisite manners could drive crazy any woman. However, Gia knew that this man would never look at anyone less outstanding as his own image.So narcissistic and at the same

"The gardens are beautiful around here," Emma was enjoying her time exploring the Dukedom's land. After a good bath and a satisfying breakfast, she was in the mood to entertain herself with a walk around the gardens.It felt so refreshing and pure that she could sleep under the shade of a tree for a few minutes. However, at the same time, she felt out of place. She didn't know why, but whenever she reached the walls surrounding the quarters, she felt trapped, almost without air.Her eyes instinctively looked around, to the maids and guards, 'They are watching me.'The servants looked at her from time to time, their inquisitive and curious looks came out without them noticing.Even with all the colorful flowers, trees full of life, beautiful stone bridges, and ponds with little fishes, Emma could still feel that her peace and calm were disturbed by the soft murmurs. Maybe they thought they were being discreet and careful, but they were not.She coul

"Who else knows about this?" Liam's voice didn't show any sign of anxiousness, but the coldness and anger were present in his gaze. His eyes had transformed into a raging red, an ominous red that could bring disaster to whoever dared to cross his path. "Speak!" Ilian gulped a bit and shook his head. "I don't know how many more received the notice, Your Highness. However, I heard the rumors about it being a joke to make Her Highness look bad in the eyes of the public. There is a saying that many nobles are opposing your marriage to her and are trying to dirty her image. However, I don't know who posted the reward note, but it originated in the south…" "Where?" "Three families in the South, from the faction of Duke Feiras." Liam narrowed his eyes, he knew that man very well, and nothing concerning him or his allies was good news. That man had been against Liam's brother Crowning from the first day of his mandate. His little group of nobles belie

Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room. Lonely and lost.His eyes were filled with more than desire, but a strong lo

"What is the meaning of this symbol?"The man looked confused. The sweet voice of Emma made him lose control of his words and actions. He didn't know why was that, he had never been subjected to hypnosis nor any kind of suggestive game. However, this time, it was as if some drug had entered his body and made him a week to listen to that woman's orders.Emma showed him the ring and waited for his response. The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity. However, Emma didn't hesitate to go to the ma

The man let her stay in his lap for the rest of the journey. As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care. When she felt that he carried her to a room and into a bed, she let him caress her face as she succumbed to her dreams. Again, the man with the red eyes showed up. This time, however, the symbol on her ring appeared in the chest of the man as he was more intense in making love to her. He pulled her to his body and it was as if he was really there sharing his warmth. Emma didn't fight it, she wanted to see him, to touch him and remember when she wakes up in the morning. "Who... who are you?"She whispered as s

Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured." "Shut up!"Then more screams and shattering of windows and wood. There were at least a dozen tall and strong men with bats and metal long bars dest

The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market. "Is there something you need from the shop?""Darling, I thought you were already asleep," the old aunty came forward with a caring look, "you should go and sleep, you must be tired."Emma smiled, she knew that the old woman had seen her training, "I am fine, aunty, but I wish to take some fresh air now. There is something I want to test

I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group. The same one that had lent money to almost all the little business in the town. However, their shady treats had made the little town fear the consequences of not paying their fees. "Miss Emma, this..." one of the police officers looked at Emma with a bit of worry in his eyes. "You should go to the old Larks, they are waiting for
