Emma ended in a narrow hallway inside the quarters of the servants. They all had gone out to be inspected, and so the empty room helped her hide for a while.
Her black clothes were not good for her at the moment, they will find her very quickly, therefore, she decided to borrow some servants' uniforms.
"This will do for now," she wrapped some cloth on her hair to not let anyone see her long silver hair. Then with a simple enchantment, she changed her facial features.
The window was opened, and she took a careful peek outside to watch out for guards or knights. The rain was still pouring hard. The sky was stormy, and she felt a heavy sensation in the wind, as if sadness was also spread on the land.
It was a strange feeling, and somehow she knew why was that happening. The Duke, he was anxious.
"No, I mustn't go back," she moved quickly, hiding in the darkness and while mingling with the people in the streets.
Some of them had umbrellas and we
The two soldiers had the bad luck to fall into her illusions. Their minds were guided into a strange dream and so, she used them to guide her around the streets with a spare uniform of a soldier.However, she still looked small and frail, a very eye-catching soldier even with the other two blocking her sight.They walked around a few alleys and the soldiers were still looking inside the houses. Some had magic detectors with them.'Crap!' she muttered and made her little prisoners go with her to a secluded alley."This is bad," she fidgeted for a while. "What should I do now?"Her hands were sweating, and she was lost in thought when a group of soldiers passed by with the machine working. The alarm resounded even in the heavy rain."What is going on?!""Oh no!" Emma jumped to climb the roof of one of the houses and ran away."Look at that!""Go after him!"Emma was now panicking, and soon a whole load of soldiers w
Emma was cold, almost freezing. She felt how her limbs had grown cold instantly from the moment he chained her. If it was not because he moved fast to take her in his arms, she would already have her heart in shock.Her clothes had not dried yet. The cold and heavy rain had made her drenched a few hours ago, and she didn't have the time to dry herself yet.Moreover, she had already lost a lot of energy when trying to escape, so she was weak and shivering in cold. Only the warm chest of the man carrying her was helping her calm."Take them… out," she pushed her body to his chest while still trembling. "Now…"She could feel the chains, those awful chains made to restraint the power of the witches. They were widely used in the war, and she knew them very well. Her father dared to gift them to her the day he mercilessly sent her to another Kingdom.However, this time, her very husband was the one taking advantage of them. She couldn't fee
That night, he took her body as if he was desperate to make her heart closer to him. To make her know what he was feeling, and also punish her because she wanted to leave before even trying to win him back."Emma…" he whispered in her ear as she struggled underneath him. Her hands were gripping the sheets, almost breaking them.His mouth traced the skin on her back with little kisses as he thrust inside. The soft moans of her mouth only rolled him up more, making her shudder."Emma…" he bit her ear and she let out a loud moan when he pressed her deeper.He pushed inside her harder each time pouring everything inside her. This time, not just his heart was aligned with hers, but his obsession. He wanted to make her stay with him, to make her have another reason to stay and never leave.He turned around and kissed her plump lips. Her eyes were still shedding small drops of tears, but she didn't separate from him."Emma…" he
"My lady, are you up?"Riel and Hannah were beside Emma's bed watching her with smiles on their faces.She had finally rested after so much passionate exercise the day and night before. There was no way for her to wake up in just a few hours, and so she had slept for the rest of the day. The many times she collapsed in that man's chest were so much that she ended up begging for a time-out.That Duke said that he needed to punish her for the grievance she made him go through. But, in the end, she was released to rest as a gesture of pity.'Damn Duke!'She thought that he will let her go for the rest of the day, but he dared to leave a message behind: he was coming for her in the evening."What time is it?" Emma sat on the bed that was filled with tight-furred covers and quilts. She didn't dare to take them out from her naked body. Even after so much exercise and dragon energy deep inside her, her body was still cold."Almost noon, Your
The night had become the worst friend for Emma, she would always wait for him but he never appeared. This time, she looked outside from the balcony and insisted on staying there despite the cold. The couch was filled with covers and a small burning fire was on the side carefully warming her hands.That day she was not allowed to go anywhere as a part of her punishment. However, she could still look outside and into the sky. Her thoughts wandering to the world outside those walls. The little glimpse she had before was not enough and was dying to see more."Your highness, aren't you cold? Should I give you another cover?" Hanna asked a bit concerned. The frail silver-haired woman's face was pale but she insisted on staying outside.Even when the chamber was heating with little magical fires and many mantles to keep the warmth. Hannah and Riel couldn't help but sweat from the intense heat of the flames. Even their foreheads were cover in a soft layer of sweat. Howe
The next morning, he helped her out of the bed while she was still a bit weak in the legs. He had dried her entirely that night without remorse. However, it will be a long time before he could see her again, so he needed to have her."Emma, how do you feel?"She knew that he had broken the chain in her ankles, and now she was free to use her magic. However, he didn't seem to be that happy. The frown on his face was giving out how concerned he was."Are you worried?" she asked when he caressed her legs in a thoughtful massage.He nodded, "will you escape again?""Only to go save you…" she smiled and kissed his cheek, "so, be careful and come back to me. Okay?"She slid a ring on his thumb finger."What is this?" he asked with a little bump in his heart. This was the first time she was giving him something, a gift.She smiled, seeing his bright eyes. 'So the cold man with indifferent and not caring eyes can make such a bea
"That old dragon is inside that barrier, he will notice," Uriel was pacing around the room with Gia watching him. That time at the garden, he had felt a strange anxiousness growing in his thoughts. He felt as if the old Master had already found out about him."What should we do?" Gia was also afraid. The old Master was not someone they would dare to provoke."We need to make him go away for a few days, have you figured out anything about the barrier?"Gia had been lurking around the walls. She tried to find the enchanted circle that created the barrier. However, the walls were strongly guarded, and the circle was very well hidden. It was nearly impossible to find it."No, I hadn't found anything about it," she was growing anxious, the guards had already seen her several times and were beginning to be suspicious. "I don't think we can deactivate it, we must find a way to break it."He knew she was telling the truth, they should focus on finding a cr
"What is this?"Rufus got a letter from Master Jin early in the morning. However, it was not the kind of thing he wanted to see when the Kingdom was in a strange position."What does it say?"Rufus shoved the letter to Jano's hands with an exasperated expression. He didn't think that something like that would happen so suddenly."This is bad," Jano sat in defeat.Master Jin had a request from the Capital, it was an urgent matter from the Royal Knights, and had to leave quickly and may not come back after a day. However, his departure had to be kept in secret, as there could be several enemies lurking around the Duchy waiting to attack. And there should be."This…" Rufus narrowed his eyes for a second, "this can't be a coincidence.""How can Master Jin leave like that?"Jano also found the sudden leave from the old dragon abrupt and with a bad omen. To make him go at such speed could only mean that the King is in trouble
