A dark brooding figure sat at the chair of the throne room. He was a massive and bulky man with a long black beard and shaggy hair. His face covered in scar and a stitch running for his left ear to his neck. His eyes blazed with pure hatred from the world. His black fur coat is so long that it looked like a black pool of blood.
The door to the throne room suddenly opened and in came a couple of beaten up rogues. "Your majesty!"
Upon seeing his men beaten up he raised a questioning eyebrow at them. "Care to explain?"
Hearing the king's voice they suddenly hesitated to answer, but knowing his majesty a lack of answer meant sudden doom. "W-We were under attack.....by the candidate princes from Thalia, your majesty."
The king slowly drummed his fingers on his arm rest. "How many?"
The rogues looked at each other as if hesitating. Finally one of them had the courage to answer. "Five your majesty. Six if you count the princess."
"And how many were you? Eleven? Fifteen?"
The rogues didn't answer at first as if ashamed of themselves for losing when they clearly have the advantage in numbers. However, one of them nodded, found courage and managed a nod.
The king, enraged by what he heard, slammed his fist on his arm rest. "You fools! You have made a mockery of us! Now those good doers will celebrate and boast of their victory. What would that make us?! They'll think that Tereau is weaker than they expect!"
"But, sire." Said one of the rogues. "We had them. We could have finished them off if it wasn't for the Tamer."
At this, the king was shocked, horrified, and interested. He looked at his left hand filled with dark intricate runes sealing his full power. He clenches his fist before looking back at the rogues. "Tamer you say?" He suddenly let out a laugh. "There are no Tamers here anymore. I already wiped them all out years ago."
"The girl, your majesty. She's a Tamer."
"Her familiar is a big white wolf."
"A big white wolf...Nagga." The king whispered.
"No your majesty. I don't think it's Naga because it's too small compared to her."
"IF THIS IS A JOKE OR A LIE TO HIDE YOUR INCOMPETENCE THEN TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THAT YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT IN THE FORST PLACE." The king rose from his throne in anger. "Tamers are long gone and dead! The king and Naga died as well. Unless......" A thought suddenly occurred to him. Well more like a memory of two figures running East on horses. He saw them running from the castle of Gija, but thinking that they were mere fae servants he didn't bother to go after them. Though he did send a few men to dispose of those two.
None of his men that he sent after them came back.
"Unless what your majesty?"
"Queen Diera." The king said through gritted teeth. "So it was her. I should have known when I couldn't find her in the palace. Her pesky sister must have led her through the portal to the human world. That human princess must be her descendant. Fate be screwing with me."
"King Ferius, if she is indeed queen Diera's descendant then we'll take care of her. Just give us an order."
"No!" The king bellowed. "No one is to harm her but me. Bring her to me alive." He said and looked at his rune filled hand once more. His hand was cursed by Naga and the King to seal his power. Looking at it now he could just picture the late kings devilish smirked as he cursed him.
This way you can never use your powers to destroy families again. Make this a reminder: The end of Gija is also the end of your evil reign.
He never understood what the late king of Gija said back then. But after a few years of research he found out that a Tamers curse can only be lifted by a Tamers blood.
"If she is the descendant from the previous king and queen from Gija then her blood might be useful to me in breaking this curse." A temporary smile lingered on King Ferius's lips before it was gone. "Find this girl. Bring her to me alive and kill everyone that gets in your way. I must have the blood of the last Tamer."
I laid down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I have just woken up and badly wanted to go back to sleep again, but couldn't. Somehow I don't even know how to go back when I think about the reality that was brought to me the other day. I guess I finally got some powers, but at the cost of being a princess.A real princess with actual royal blood.Suddenly my stomach growled.I'm hungry. Now that is definitely a good wake up call.I hurried up and changed. As I did I stepped on something and heard a light yelp. It was Custard and I accidentally stepped on his tail. Custard is a little brown baby wolf. He looks as harmless as a puppy in this form, but when he is in his beast mode he becomes this big bad white demon wolf(as the twins like to call him). Also, he is my fami
"Can you please bring me five pairs of trousers, t-shirts and shoes fit for um.....say 5 year old kids?" I was in my room talking to a maid just outside my room. I left the door slightly open so I could talk to her without showcasing my room."Yes, princess..." The maid wore a strange look on her face at my request. In which I felt the urge to throw in some sort of excuse."I-It's my hobby! I....want to um.....dress my pillows and pretend that they are kids. You know. Practice for parenthood. Ahe he....." Now I want to slap myself and wish that I kept my mouth shut.Fortunately, the maid didn't say anything more as she left to get me what I asked for. As soon as she was gone did I let out a sigh of relief and locked the door behind me.After the princes became babies I i
"Based on our research Tamers use their blood to transform their beast. Why don't you try it, Rose?" Nate suggested as he led us to the training room for our breakfast. Since I am on Princess training again I have to spend every morning with Nate to perfect my table manners."Nah. That is fake. Tried it yesterday and it did not work." I say recalling how I gave Custard a bit of my blood to transform him into killer mode. Nothing happened that day."Well....maybe something is wrong with your blood?" Nate said as he opened the door for me."Or something is wrong with Custard. Am I right, boy?" I said and cooed at Custard who was walking by my side this whole time. His response was a low growl. "Maybe it's your attitude." I said to t
It seems to me that everyone was avoiding me as I marched my way to the queen's study or whatever you call it. The princes were nowhere to be found - probably hiding from me as I stormed off. Once I reached the queen's study, I did not bother to knock. Instead I kicked the door open yelling, "WHAT PARTY!?" It was loud enough that Dan jumped off the couch and spilled his tea on Ren's lap. Ren let out a girly screech at that. Nate quickly hid behind the curtains while Ace casually turned his back to me. So this is where they ran off to. Drinking TEA! "Dear, we do have that round thing on doors called a door knob you know. The one you just broke." The queen says sipping her tea. "WHAT PARTY!?" I demanded and I could not help but notice the princes flinching.
"No. Absolutely not!" PRINCE Ace protested the moment I announced to the queen my conditions to continue the ball. One thing is for sure, he was not happy at all.I, on the other hand, was sitting cross legs as I enjoyed watching his troubled face. I was beaming brightly at the queen. "Hey you want a ball? You got one. As long as PRINCE Ace is my escort." I said and gave Ace a smug look and wiggled my eyebrows. Then I turned to look at the maid and called her over. "Tea please.""What kind of tea, princess?""One that tastes like victory. Darjeeling." The maid bowed and disappeared to fetch me my tea.If Ace could kill me right now then he would, judging from the murderous looks that he is giving me. "You and I both know what you are up to." He says.
Days and weeks of training have passed leaving me exhausted and temperamental. It's horrible really. Preparing for the ball last time was not that stressful compared to this. Even Nate and the twins are getting serious during our training. The only one who was a little laid back was Dan. The guy would crack up jokes here and there and would pull pranks on his brother.The other PRINCE hates my guts so much that he would not allow me to doze off even for a second. He would continue to drill information into my brain even though I was tired, which always resulted in us bickering and me leaving through the window - once. It didn't happen again since he basically put some sort of magic barriers on the window. Trust me I dislocated my elbow trying to break it.Yes I am desperate to get away from him and our training.
The crowd was still watching us and I just realized something very important. The speech. "U-uh I-I am Princess Rosalie. 19 years old and single. My dog just ran away upstairs." I gestured behind me. Silence."While I was...uh.....making my traditional Earthling greeting and such. He did not abandon me. You see I am a tamer." I laughed nervously. "I honestly know what I am doing with my spirit and he respects me for that. I purposely told him to go back to our room." Again I laughed nervously and saw the princes doing subtle face slaps and hiding their faces in embarrassment. "And uh....this here is my slav - I mean escort - PRINCE Ace. He is a nice dance partner and nice person in an alternate universe." I took a glance at Ace and saw him breathing deeply.Well it's not my fault that I delivered a speech unprepared. Serves him right.
The party was a disaster. Everyone was in panic as security measures were being held. I couldn't even move. I wouldn't, because I was already overwhelmed with fear. Someone did this to get to me. What did I do to deserve this?"Come on, Rose." Ren squeezed my hand and that brought me back to my senses."Get her to my office. It has wards and only those who do not have an urge to kill can enter." The queen was suddenly at my side and placed a hand on my tear ridden cheeks. "You will be safe there. I will meet you once this is settled." She smiled weakly.I don't know what she's planning to do by staying here. Why doesn't she come along? What is she going to do? Murder the culprit?"You heard the queen. Let's go." Nate gently pushed my back and urged me to fo
“I see.” Sophie, the seer that I met a long time ago when I went to Hazel, laughs. “Now do you believe the prophecy?” “He is rich, I have to tell you that.” I joked and laughed along with her. Sophie has become a close advisor to King Fred. She was the last seer in the lands and is now being taken care of. “So, is my guess right?” I asked hopefully. Sophie gave me a look as she nodded. “Congratulations, Queen Rosalie. You are - ” She was cut off when Custard lets out a yelp. ‘Master master! Arcielia keeps on pulling on my tail.’ Custard whimpered as he sat on the floor with his head and ears down. “Sorry, Custard.” I said before I fixed a look at a young girl. Her hair is as dark as her father while her eyes are as blue
The guy lets out a scream as his other friend pulled him away from the stranger, who was now standing in front of me as if shielding me from my two attackers. “Leave. Or would you like me to break your jaws and feed you that...glass thing that you are holding?”Glass thing? Does he mean the can of beer? But it’s not even GLASS!“You two aren’t moving. Would you like me to break something else?” He asked menacingly and started moving forward. The two immediately ran away in a haste the longer they continued to look at the guy.As soon as they were gone, I looked at the man warily. His back was still facing me that I can’t even tell what he looks like at the moment. “Thank you.” I blurted out.The moment I spoke,
****2 Years Later in The Human Realm****I was bouncing on my toes as I waited for my teammate to pass me the baton. I was already at a pretty slow pace in order for her to be able to hand it over to me.“Please, Rose. Hurry!” My teammate pleaded with me.I gave her a reassuring smile as I got the baton in my hands and began to run. My mind focused on my own path. As soon as the wind hit my face, nostalgia suddenly hit me and I feel as if I was running in a different with different people. One was a red-head and the other one was a brunette.Despite the crowd in the background, all I could hear were the cheers of these two imaginary men.‘Go on, Rose. You can do it.’
“LOOK OUT!” Ace came forward and shielded me. In the process, Ace’s arm got a second-degree burn. Ace winced in pain as he immediately removed the sleeve on that particular arm.“No…” I whispered. Horrified at what I saw. Then I turned to glare murderously at Camille. “It was you, wasn’t it? You set him free!”Instead of looking guilty, Camille had a crazed look in her eyes. “Nate is mine. He is mine. If it weren’t for you then I would have become his queen!”“Nate and I are not in that kind of relationship!” I told her. “And he doesn’t belong to anyone!”But as hard as I tried to convince her, it seemed like Camille couldn’t hear any of it as she just screa
“Ow!”“Camille?” I gasped as soon as I saw the fairy princess emerging from under my bed with a swollen eye from my hit. Can’t say I don’t regret it. “What are you doing here? And why are you in my room?” I demanded.“Give me that!” Camille charged at me with her eyes fixed on the chalice.“Hey! What are you doing?” I moved my hand back, the one that was holding the chalice as Camille continued to charge at me with a crazy look in her eyes.“That’s what they wanted, right? Just give it to them!” She yelled at me and attempted to grab it this time with flames igniting from her hands.“You don’t even know what this is. Ba
Everyone was quiet as we all let the information sink in. When I thought about it, it all made sense now. Luke was the one that we were looking for. The only thing is, he is not exactly a traitor, just controlled by something that he cannot fight.“Hang on, who attacked Luke in the greenhouse?” I asked. “I mean, the place was basically a mess.”“He did that to himself,” Stella says. “As soon as he realized that Ferius was looking and hearing events of what was happening, he put himself to sleep to purposely stop Ferius from knowing of our plans. But upon realizing this, Ferius tried to take control over him. That was why the dose of the sleeping potion that he took was too much as to put him in a temporary coma.”“I see.” Ace and I exchanged a look.
‘Princess, focus!’ I felt Viex slumping down when the supply of magic that I was giving him was cut off. In that brief moment of weakness, a few rogues were able to catch on and started targeting us instead. I got down from Viex as he was still trying to recover from the unstable magic. Custard and I managed to handle a few of them with our backs facing Viex to protect him. ‘Princess, behind you!’ Viex yelled as a warning. When I looked back, I saw a leopard pouncing at me. Custard blocked its path but the leopard didn’t fully reach us when a hood figured appeared, landed on the leopard’s back in midair, and plunge his blade to its neck. As they both landed on the ground, Ace took his hood and pulled me until I w
I woke up early the next day as we all started to prepare ourselves. But I, on the other hand, woke up especially early because I wanted to make sure that everything was settled. Plus, I was getting nervous about all of this as well that I just can’t get a few more minutes of a shut-eye. I already have my shirt, chainmail, vest, trousers, and boots on. Now, I was contemplating wearing the gloves that Eltur and Darem gave me, but I decided against it as it would only hinder my grip on my whip. As I got out, I noticed that Nate was outside of his tent as well and just doing a few stretches. He must have heard me stepping out because he looked back with a tired and nervous smile on his face. “Hey. Good morning, Rose.” He greeted me. “Morning, Nate.” I greeted his back as I held the tent open for Custard and
Nate and I headed for the larger tent in the area. He told me that it was where all the royals are supposed to gather for the briefing.Nate opened the tent for me go to inside, but before I could even enter, I heard two familiar voices behind me. “I almost cried. You look so much more independent compared to the last time that we saw you. I just hope that you really are what you look like from the outside.”It was Custard who first reacted. He lets out a howl and ran behind me. ‘Master Ren!’I turned just in time to see Ren picking Custard up on the ground as Custard showered him with adoring kisses. The twins were humbly wearing plain shirts like what we usually wore in training. And judging by the looks on their faces, I can only guess that t
