Isadoras POVJust then, the elder who was presiding over the funeral took careful steps towards Golem and stared into his eyes in thorough examination. Suddenly, he exclaimed in a loud voice, overwhelmed with surprise, "He's the one! I don't believe it—the lost prince! All hail the king of the South!" He went down on his knees and bowed before Golem.As the elder's words echoed through the cemetery, declaring Golem as the lost prince, the atmosphere shifted dramatically. The crowd's gasps turned into cheers, celebrating the return of their long-lost royal heir. Golem, however, wore a dark expression, his eyes reflecting a mix of surprise and irritation at the unexpected revelation.The park members followed suit, bowing before Golem, their faces filled with awe and reverence. My heart sank as I sensed Golem's displeasure with the sudden turn of events. His jaw clenched as he glanced down at the elder, who knelt by his feet, and it was evident that he was not inclined to embrace his ne
Isadoras povAmidst the chaos, I rushed forward towards Matamoros, desperately checking for any sign of life. But he was gone, and I erupted into tears as I shook him, hoping for a response.Golem, sensing the imminent danger, yelled at me, "Isadora, now is not the time to cry! We don't have time for this; they're getting closer!"Just as I turned around to reply to Golem, an arrow was shot at me, but Golem caught it with a swift motion.The chief guard, accompanied by Lisa, ran over, both panting for breath. The chief guard managed to convey, in between gasps, "My lady, what do we do? They have taken down the gate."Golem vibrantly responded, "The only way to fight fire is with fire, and the only way to fight a surprise attack is with another surprise attack."Panicking, I impatiently responded, "What are you trying to say, Golem? Get to the point."Golem explained, "You guys stand your ground and hold the defense from here. I will turn around and attack them from the air, from behin
Golem povAfter a short while, the chief guard returned and stood beside Isadora. My attention was fixed on the aftermath of the battle, contemplating the situation."Your Highness, the remaining men alive and in good condition to fight are no more than a thousand. The rest are either injured ,dead or they fled during the " the chief guard reported.I sighed, a weight of concern settling on my shoulders. "That's not good enough. Regardless, get them ready."Isadora couldn't hold back her curiosity and interrupted, "Ready for what, Golem?"I wrapped my hands around her hips, a comforting gesture, pulling her close to me"I was going to tell you much later, but since you're this impatient and curious my love, then I might just tell you already."She eyed me suspiciously, folding her arms. "Don't tell me it's what I'm thinking Golem—we can't afford a counter-attack with less than a thousand men ,that is nothing but suicide. Are you trying to get us killed, since the Lycans didn't succee
Golem's pov Before I could respond, someone clapped twice from behind me. As I slowly turned around, I locked eyes with Anastasia, who wore a not-so-friendly expression on her face. She sarcastically said, "Bravo, Bravo, Bravo, Golem. A few days, that's all it took for you to completely forget about me.""It's not like that, Anastasia. Don't put it that way; you make it sound like I'm evil," I responded.Anastasia closed the gap between us, her eyes stern. "Aren't you, Golem?" she said, her voice laced with frustration. "Go ahead and tell me. You forgot about my name!!! Who would ever believe that," she yelled. Taking a deep breath, she continued, "Or maybe it's just me overreacting. You probably hit your head somewhere while flying and suffered from amnesia, am I right?" She held me gently by the chin, examining my face. Suddenly, her eyes turned red with flames, and I could feel the heat of the fire burning within her as she demanded, "Whose lipstick is this, Golem? Don't tell me y
Isadora POVThe atmosphere was tense with grief as the bodies of the massacred were piled up. The chief guard walked up to me and said, "My lady, the number of deceased is numerous. It's impossible for us to give each one an individual funeral."I nodded, wiping tears from my eyes with a handkerchief. "You are right, and besides, we have no time for that. It's best we give them a mass funeral."Just then, two guards approached with a stretcher in hand, the body covered with a white cloth. "My lady, we thought you might want to see him one last time before we have him transferred," one of them said.I lifted the white cloth, and my eyes fell on Matamoros's lifeless form. Instantly, my heart shattered into tiny pieces, and I broke into more tears.With tears streaming down my face, I laid a hand on his chest and whispered, "Matamoros, you were one of the very best things that ever happened to me, and I was one of the worst things to ever happen to you. I hope that one day in the afterli
Golem POV Just as the men chanted and charged forward, Isadora took a step along with them, ready for battle. However, I felt a weight in my chest, the thought of Anastasia haunting me. I pulled her back, knowing I needed to address this before the battle consumed us."My love, we need to talk," I said, my voice carrying the urgency of the matter.Isadora glared at me, her hatred for Leonardis burning in her eyes. I could feel the intensity of her emotions, and I knew I had to let her in on the truth. She responded impatiently, "What about, baby? Can't it wait until we're done with the battle?"I shook my head, the burden too heavy to postpone. "It's kind of urgent, if you don't mind."Isadora sighed, casting a quick glance at the charging men. "Fine, but make it quick baby ,we have the north to destroy."I stared into her eyes, and there was no way I was going to reveal the truth, not with that expression on her face. She didn't seem ready to hear it. So instead, I shifted the topic
Golem POV Leonardis mocked further, pulling out a silver blade and pressing it against Isadora's neck, causing blood to drip slowly. He said, "What's the best way to kill a whore? With a blade or..." He paused for a moment his eyes locked on isadora's and continued saying "you don't deserve to die by my blade isadora, I will do it with my fist instead "with that he threw the blade backwards, the blood on it spilling on me, as soon as the droplet of blood made contact with my skin. A surge of power, like that of a million suns, passed through my chest, and my eyes turned red.The White Wizard yelled, "No, Leonardis, that's a..."Before he could finish the sentence, I unleashed a furious storm of fire that consumed everything in its path, including the white wizard. The flames roared, fueled by a rage more intense than ever before.After a few minutes of the continuous firestorm, I finally stopped, shifting back to my human form. As the smoke cleared, the only thing standing in front
Golem POV In the midst of the celebration, a sudden disruption silenced the music and drew everyone's attention. A bolt of fire descended through the night sky, and as the men surrounded the intruder, Isadora and I moved closer to get a better look in the dim light.To our surprise, the intruder was none other than Anastasia, her eyes filled with anger and determination. As our gazes locked, she thundered, "Fire Lord Golem, we are having a baby."The words hit me like a thunderbolt, and for a moment, I was thrown off balance. "What?" I exclaimed loudly, my mind racing to comprehend the unexpected news. Isadora stood beside me, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief.Anastasia, undeterred by the commotion she caused, repeated with emphasis, "you heard me the first time Golem, I said, we are having a baby."I took a deep breath, trying to process the revelation. "Anastasia, this... I didn't expect..."A thought suddenly hit me that this could be a jealousy fit, by Anastasia to mak
