The day passed with the tiresome work of Akshara. The pearls of her tears rolled from her dark circled eyes, which once used to be exotic and admired by Dev.
Nora had little conscience within her dragon scales, "It’s enough for today. Leave my room; you are dusting my exuberant room with your ugly, crying face. Get out of my sight."
Akshara hurried her way to the dungeon, forced her body against the walls of the dungeon, and cried loud enough to wake the drowsy, ferocious beast.
Akshara doesn’t even mind the ferocious animal’s presence and thinks, "I don’t mind being eaten by any beast. I prefer death to live in this hell. The Devil is to be blamed for my condition."
She closed her eyes hard and tried to search for Dev in her dreams. Akshara ran to the shadow of a man who exactly looked like Dev. The shadow dissolved in the air, deceiving her into a vein.
Her tiresome mind reflected the image of Dev in all the empty co
Dev calmed down his anger and felt sorry for being hard on her, "Oh. Your attitude of not confessing your love got on to my nerves." Dev rubbed her cheeks gently and asked again, "Does it still hurt?"“Yes, (she frowned her face while rubbing her cheeks) you are surely a horrible devil,” Akshara cursed him until the pain in her cheeks vanish.“Ho – horrible! That’s so rude to address me with a cruel word, Sara.”Akshara arched her eyebrows in wonder, “Thanks for the word, indeed you are a cruel demon that enjoys torturing me,” she folded her hands under her chest and looked away from him with a stern face.“I don’t know why I am getting amused rather annoyed by your words,” Dev told while analysing the changes happening within him. He wanted to know what Akshara have done to his cold heart that was frozen for centuries. So, he pulled her in his arms and asked, “What have you done to me?”“What I did, everything you did. (She removed his hands from her arms) You crushed my cheeks and i
“You think so? I have seen that pretty much in Frozen Crescent, I hope.” Dev said to share his sarcastic look. And swayed his hand to jinx to draw his sword to teach her what she asked for.Akshara was surprised to see one sword, “Huh, Only one sword? How will you teach me with one?"Dev smirked at her, Akshara shook her head in no, “Devil, no, I know your devious plan. I am not falling for it.”Akshara tried to run away from him while he grabbed her from behind. “Hum hum, you can’t escape me,” saying he tucked his hand around her waist while his other hand held the sword, “Like this.”“Are you going to teach me in this position?” Akshara asked while inhaling deeply.“Yes, hold the sword,” Dev instructed her.Dev’s face drew closure to hers resulting the goosebumps on her; she fixed her eyes on him. The mix
The ferocious animal grunted and witnessed the amulet of Akshara on her neck glow brightly to make her vulnerable to seeing what was happening. Akshara’s pet birds chirped loudly and closed their eyes in extreme brightness. The amulet on her neck glittered and formed a layer of light around her body. The light covering her healed her physical wounds, while in her dreams, Dev was making love to her. In dreams, Akshara felt the healing that gave her vital strength and pushed Dev to hover over him. She surprised him with her ultimate moves and kisses. Dev enjoyed every string of this dream, and Akshara told him, with her overwhelming smile, "Come to me, Devil. I need you." The next morning, Akshara woke up to find that she was no longer in the dream world. She was back in the real world, and Dev was nowhere to be found. She was alone with her pet birds chirping next to her. She found her wounds vanished without any marks. ***** In
Back in the forbidden tower, Dev had a really hard day fighting the raven wizards but felt some happiness in winning over Igikran once again. The dried rays of the moon did not give him a cool night; his eyes were awakened with sleeplessness and he gazed widely at the moon. "Aren’t you asleep, Dev?" Ivan asked while leaning on the floor beside him, staring at the moon. "It’s surprising that you are still awake." Dev looked at the full moon and exhaled his distress. "She is suffering." Ivan started to ask who but bit his lower lip knowing the answer, "What happened to her?" "I saw her wounds," Dev said in a sad tone with furrowed brows. Ivan wondered at his reply, "What? Wounds? It’s surprising." "Surprised? Ivan, I am worried about her. You said she is like your sister. How can you be surprised at her wounds? " Dev lifted his head, turned to his side, and showed his anger. "You should be worried. At the least, you have to show some con
A few suns and moons have raced against the clock, and Akshara’s life in the ice castle has been scheduled to ‘Rest Less and Works More’. Eating becomes the reward for her tireless work. Akshara would share her reward, i.e., food, with her pet birds, Sun and Shine.Her roommate, the ferocious animal, doesn’t look ferocious anymore to her. She finds it cute and kind. When her work didn’t meet the reward, the ferocious animal would help her with the fruits from the tree located in the dungeon.Akshara had rotted in the dungeon with the ferocious animal, which had more mercy on her than the castle's inhabitants. Nora and Indigo did everything they could to bring their evil to torture Akshara solely because of her title as the Hybrid Crown Prince's Bride.Apart from the tiring day, Akshara found joy in fewer resting hours. Dev’s words lingered in her mind, "Come into my arms wherever you are in trouble.” The ecstasy of runni
In the east wing of Ice Castle,Nora stood before her large mirror, adjusting her garments while her maids stood beside her, heads facing down. Nora’s sharp ears heard some murmuring noise behind her, and she eyed the mirror. Her maids gossiped and chuckled at each other without realising Nora was watching them through the mirror."What’s so amusing?" Nora asked them with an evil smile on her lips, "Am I not qualified to get involved in your amusements?" She asked them without turning back while attaching the embellishment to her garment.All the maids were gulping terror and fear for their lives. Nora is known for her fiery approach to her anger; she would burn anything with her purple heated flames into ashes.One of the maids opened her mouth, "My lady, we are talking about the girl that was brought by our crown prince."Nora gritted her teeth and destroyed the embellishment in her hands, and the maids took a step back, dreading Nora's wrath. Nora turned her look to nothingness and
After a few minutes of discussion with the dark knight, Dev spoke to his mother, “My queen, I must take our dark knight with me with your consent. His presence is a need in the Forbidden Tower.”“I might want you to be my side, Dev.” The white queen told him. But Dev smiled at her, “Mother, I know you are the strongest woman of all ages. Whatever you decide, you will have a deep consideration of me.”“But you are the topic of today’s gathering, Dev, I...” Before the white queen could complete her words, Dev told her in low voice, “You take care of everything here (gesturing towards the Las Oajar). I will take care of everything there. (Mentioning the Forbidden Tower) Good sound of the deal, isn’t it?”“Dev, Dev,” while the white queen was repeatedly calling her son, Dev smiled at her in reply. Dev and the dark knight were exempted from the court
The word spread across the corners of the world, but not to the dungeon inside the ice castle. Las Oajar passed its verdict to the queen of Ayruzglow to invite brides from neighbouring kingdoms upon the bride selection of the crown prince of Ayruzglow, who was alleged to be crowned as king of Ayruzglow with his queen.With her ambiguous mind, Nora was filled with a poisonous desire to ruin every ounce of charm Akshara bought. Nora was determined to make Akshara become the rumour that echoed over the icy walls of the Ayruzglow kingdom."I don’t know who else I have to fight with to get Dev. First, it was the witch from Frozen Crescent, and now it's random brides from allied kingdoms. I can’t tolerate Dev being with anyone." Nora decided to update her torment to include Akshara."I intend to destroy the charm that engrossed my D
