Clap, clap, clap!The guests proceeded to stand up and clapped their hands.The couple entered the hall with an elegant and satisfied smile. The aura they exuded was pressuring. Their skin felt like it was being clawed and their oxygen was stolen. Normal kids couldn’t handle such pressure. Thankfully, all of them were strong enough to withstand it. There was why Shadow and Malikul didn’t even invite young kids even though both of them were considered young as well.The guests were mostly leaders and lords from other kingdoms. Some were nobles from neighbors. All of them were personally connected with either Shadow or Malikul.“This is the definition of a power couple.”“They emitted a strong aura.”“Wow.”“I’m here.”Ajiad and Yusuff’s family came in with a heave. Their faces were already flushed red and their attires were sticking with sweat.“Late.”“I am absolutely disappointed in you, brother.”Ibrahim criticized his brother while Aulia pursed her lips at her brother. Each one of
The after-wedding ended successfully. The guests were sent to their respective chambers with a massive longue. Multiple bedrooms and a common room. Nathan wiped his tears off, reluctant to walk away from Shadow. His eyes were fixated on Shadow from the start until the end.However, Shadow literally saw he eyed the hyena’s queen, Liliana. A few questions filled her brain with no answer. Deciding to ignore the questions for today, she placed a happy facade on her face.Her facade fell off only when she saw Hyenas.“Brother…” She shuffled with her wedding dress but with a pouty face and hunched shoulder. She threw the flowers that she unconsciously clenched on the ground, whining out loud. Showing her baby sister's side for the audience to see.“Umpa!” Sleepy coddled her by hugging a bridal style and nuzzled their noses together.“Brother…”Her whining was so deafening. Thankfully, the guests were already returned to their designated chambers, guided by their trusted servants.“Sleepy…
“Can we postpone?” It was an excuse that she had never heard before. It also sounded weird when it came from her.She was hella nervous. Nothing could top this. She wasn’t nervous when she had to conduct interrogation while Dionysus fucked his target. She wasn’t even batting an eye when she tortured someone. To her, it was natural to do all that just to get the legit piece of information.Malikul snorted as if she was singing an alluring song with her siren voice. His eyes were warm yet savage, digging into her eyes, devouring them still.He kneeled on the bed, the bed dug deeper and bounced her closer to him. Malikul grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer and pushed her to the bed with him hovering above her, trapping her to all sides.“Now, you can’t escape.” He growled into her ears, clearly seeing that she was seeking a chance to escape.And Shadow couldn’t talk anymore. The guy who was staring at her with a look that seemed like he would swallow her suddenly got closer and star
It was a good morning like any other day. In a good mood, Wan, Akmal, Anis, Qila, and Apiq came to work. They greeted each other respectfully. Soon, their smiles disappeared, except for Akmal.“What is he doing here?” Wan halted at the entrance of the office. His boss was lounging in the common room in plain sight, screaming ‘I’m here, It is in your best interest to take notice of me’ air around.“... thought he was on the way to their honeymoon.” Anis swallowed her saliva, visibly nervous for no reason.“I have anonymously dropped a few beautiful sites for them to make love,” Qila said in between her gritted teeth.Everyone groaned.“Don’t say it like that.”“We need not know about our head’s sex life.”“What is wrong with you?”Apiq, Wan, and Anis spoke in that order.“My worry is valid. Our boss has stalked his wife for as long as he has lived. Don’t you expect him to not let her go for a couple of days… or weeks in that matter.”“Gosh!” “Qila!”“I don’t want to hear that.”Agai
“Lord Holiness.” Akmal raised his hand.“Yes?”“That thing…” He pointed at his uncle. “Why is he here?” Shadow didn’t have to turn her head to understand what he was talking about.“That man is working for me.” She said, deafening.Her voice was low, but it was the loudest yet. Their bodies stirred with panic.Alas, the deafening silence once again attacked them. The workers that already filled the office toured the other entrance just to avoid the area. The crown prince and the holiness were talking with the executive. She brought her trusted person and a bizarre creature while cornering the executives.Whatever it was, it wouldn’t be pretty if they were to get involved.“Why the man is working with you when he should be withering in the dungeon or torture room?” Akmal bravely narrowed his eyes at Shadow.Malikul saw the disrespect, yet said nothing. Shadow knew how to handle this kind of person. Furthermore, his wife was far from a damsel in distress. If anything, she was the king
“It’s not a misunderstanding.” Shadow grasped the situation rather quickly. “The one who is guilty is you. You! You try to paint your uncle as a bad guy to satisfy your own greed. Fucker!” Shadow plunged on the seat once.“My love…”Shadow stopped him by raising her hand right in front of his face.“This fucker knew. He fucking knew. He readily destroyed his uncle just because his fragile ego couldn’t take the hit.”Wince.It was so painful, Akmal had to wince. Shadow spoke nothing but the truth.For Shadow, now she understood why these people were exceptionally quiet when Jamal’s issue was brought to light. It was because they knew the truth. They willingly feign ignorance. Shadow leaned forward, her upper body and knees bent as she propped her hands on the table.“My love,” Malikul tried to grab Shadow’s wrist.Shadow had shown her intimidating aura. Her eyes caught Akmal particularly. “You… wake up.” Her voice was low, akin to a whisper.However, it was so loud inside all of them.
Malikul growled. He had zero fear even though facing the calamity himself. Even he was Ferdinand, the rumored ambitious dragon lord.Malikul squeezed harder, nails threatening to break the skin.Ferdinand sneered, “it would be so easy just to kill me,” he said, making no attempt to defend himself.Shadow snorted, her yellow pupils studied Ferdinand with wonder. Wait a minute… Shadow realized something. The opportunity she was waiting for was here, in front of him, dangling his butt like a fucking masochist.“Go ahead. I know you don’t care about that old fucker. What is he to you, the genius Malikul Afdal, the crown prince?”Shadow focused and shifted her attention fully to him.Akmal made an animated sound at the door.Malikul had no choice but to let him go, feeling his rage yield to his concern. “Whatever you’ve done with my wife’s subordinate, I’ll return to you ten times worse.”Ferdinand slumped on the ground, back slid against the wall. He rubbed his throat and smirked. “How ni
“What is going on? I am a bit confused here.” Ali whispered next to Malikul.Ibrahim listened tentatively silently. He was inclined to believe his daughter had a reason to get so mad. Whatever she said would be presumingly correct and he had nothing to against it. To him, Shadow was never wrong and if she was ever wrong, she was actually right. Whatever it was.Juviana, Miley, Julian, David, and Nathan watched Shadow quietly, controlling their breath, and chased her not far behind, putting a distance. For them, their mental safety was of utmost importance. Her rumors weren’t an exaggeration, if anything, people downplayed them a lot.She wasn’t a sadistic freak, but a silent storm that potentially killed them if they weren’t careful enough.They took off to a foreign kingdom as soon as they were summoned. Best believe they heard no explanation of some sort but her strained voice of her was enough to keep them on their toes.“Is she always… like this?” David gossiped next to his count.
