Destroyed her first life, and her family was executed for being accused of using black magic. And she had to endure painful torments for the rest of her life to give her blood as penance to rid the kingdom of black magic. In the end, Rania died. An assassin killed her. Worse, she became a curious spirit who followed wherever the cruel king Alaric slaughtered monsters that entered the capital. Before then, she fell asleep in her spirit form and woke up in a place she had not seen for a long time. "I...went back to the past?!"
View MoreThe news of the death of King Philips the Gustaf I was announced by the palace, sound of trumpets and mourning from the residents reached the ears of Rania, who was hugging her mother. She is currently in prison on charges of betraying the king, poisoning the royal family, and being a user of black magic, which is forbidden in the Gustaf kingdom.
"Mom, are we going to get out of this prison?" Rania asked her mother, who was holding back sobs."Sure, we'll get out of here safely," her mother replied."But for how long? It's cold in here, and it smells like mom…." Little Rania started to whine."It's okay, and mom will hug you. It won't be cold anymore," she said with tears.She felt guilty that her daughter, who did not even know anything, was Implicated in the political schemes of the kingdom that wanted the Guinevere family to fall into ruin. A well-bred daughter with affection had to be in a cold, dirty slum with her. Hera began to cry.Hera's beautiful face disappeared, leaving a pale, unkempt expression. Previously, she always praised her face for her beauty in royalty. But now, only insults await him when seen by the eyes of others as a black magician.Her body was still weak from giving birth to her first son, the second child of the Guinevere family. But the correctional officer took the baby away somewhere. Hera tried to restrain herself to avoid making her daughter more afraid to cry over the cruel fate that befell her family."Mom, I miss my dad and Ines..." Rania began to whine as she pulled herself closer to her mother."Mom, too, so hurry up and sleep. The day is getting colder. Tomorrow we will get out of here, "Hera said in an uncertain tone. Her eyes stared at the hard prison wall hopelessly."Is that true?" Rania looked up to look at her mother but instead saw the sad look in her eyes that she had lost hope of living. "Mother, is it true that tomorrow we will get out of this prison?" Rania asked again."Hmm... sleep, dear. Because mom is getting tired, very tired..." she said as she lay down on the rotten, smelly mattress underneath with her daughter.Meanwhile, in another room, a man who was once beautiful and well-built has now lost his good looks but has not lost his majestic figure whose hands are now bound by chains to form a standing position. His long black hair was messy, covering his face, which was full of wounds; there were still traces of blood on his face and body.Even many new and old wounds dried up and then bled again. The lashes and knife cuts were terrible. But the woman in front of Benedict just looked and smiled, and she liked to see something that no one could own."You should have listened to me, Benedict!" said the Queen to the helpless head of the Guinevere family."Hey! For someone who can't be loyal and wants a throne, why should I listen to what you have to say?!" said Benedict in a weak tone.The Queen clenched her fists on the chair angrily, "You realize that whatever you do now will kill your beloved wife and child!""This is destiny, Your Majesty. But god knows what will happen after all this; there must be justice, and I will watch your destruction from there, Cassia!!" said Benedict looking up at the end of his sentence and mentioning the Queen's name.The so-called Queen stood up from the chair she was sitting on and walked briskly, her hand lifting her majestic and beautiful dress before the heels of her golden slots stomped on the wound on Benedict's shoulder. A scream rang out as the heel of the shoe pierced the flesh of the damage.Those white, slender legs looked beautiful in the dim light of the torture prison where Benedict was now, but Benedict wasn't interested. He feels more disgust and hates for the woman who once loved with all his heart but betrayed his love because of power.Terrible, greedy woman!"Argh!! You will be rewarded, CASSIA!!!""Keep talking until the announcement of the execution arrives. Philips is dead and can't save the fallen pillar of the royal family. Because in the end, you will die with your beloved family!!" the Queen swore to her former lover."Argh!!!" Benedict shouted again as the Queen took her foot off the head of the Guinevere family.Emma, the Queen's maid, closed her eyes seeing and hearing that heartbreaking scream, and she couldn't stand it. The two soldiers on the other side, holding a whip and knife stained with Benedict's blood, didn't blink their eyes because they used them for all this, but still, there was a shock in their hearts to see the Queen could be so cruel to the head of the Benedict family and relations. Between the two that are just known."The destruction of your family is imminent, but you don't want to accept my offer. Then please wait for death to pick you up tomorrow because I have already decided this if you refuse, "said the Queen before walking towards the door together with Emma."My family and I would rather die, Cassia!! Instead of being the slave of a terrible woman like you… spit!" Benedict was spitting in the direction where the Queen was going.And seeing that Cassia could only clench her fists in disapproval, it hurts to know the man she loves to spit on her who has kindly offered to help in exchange for being her lover again."What's so special about Hera, Ben?" asked the Queen, calling the name of the head of the Guinevere family familiarly."Heh, you ask what's so special about my wife?! She is better than you, not greedy like you, loyal to me, and loves me, and I dedicate myself to her entirely!! And you?!! You ask what's so special about her with you who betrayed the love I had, all the attention I gave you even to the point of being willing to go into a big war to get recognition so that she could propose to you from a big family, Cassia!!!" Benedict answered without hiding the hatred he had.The Queen gulped painfully at Benedict's compliments to other women who were open to him. All the expressions of love and praise were directed at him. Even when she married Philips, she never got the love that Benedict did for her. King Philips only loved Queen Clementine before. The king never touched even Cassia, nor could she give heirs to the kingdom.Only Alaric was the only crown prince the kingdom had, and it became a great controversy that the elders and court ministers raised for the Queen and king to give other descendants to strengthen the empire.Duke Benedict looked at his entourage of knight horses led by prince Alaric and Oscar; he saw his daughter in the prince's arms as they were all in front of him."Where is duchess Hera?" the duke asked in a cold tone making everyone confused."Duke, we left without duchess Hera in the first place. Instead, he asked us to track Princess Rania's whereabouts with the prince and Mr. Oscar." Sara answered firmly.Hearing the answer from his wife's private knight, he realized if his wife had not returned, and might be in danger. "Take my daughter; the healer is waiting. I'll look for my wife and don't come out until the second bell rings because, at this time, monsters have successfully entered the kingdom!!" said duke Benedict, who immediately spurred his horse.But sadly, duke Benedict couldn't find his wife anywhere; his knights and the kingdom had already handled the monster attacks. But no one saw his wife when asked, and duke Benedict was increasingly panicked.Until then, the second
Unfortunately, the master magician had to be surprised because Rania's mana refused to be absorbed by him. An explosion occurred and sent them flying away from each other."This…" the master mage then got up while clutching his chest; his heart seemed to explode because the mana he had absorbed a little bit repelled each other instead. It's the first time, and he realizes who Rania is. There is one person who is said to be a prophecy, a person with unique mana, a mana that is not shared with anyone but can help many people. "The Savior...""Cough... tower master, what happened. Why is there an explosion? This hurts…" Rania held her head, feeling dizzy and like she had been struck by lightning."You, I'll teach you how to create a barrier. Listen carefully and pay attention because I can't repeat this teaching twice if I don't want to die early!""But.""Don't deny it; pay close attention. After seeing me, there was no time. Quickly join your hands with me; we will cast a barrier." The
"Your majesty!! The curse is starting to be felt by the common citizens!""Your majesty!! Many people were unconscious, we saw the doors of the residents' houses were open, and they were lying on the floor while some of them had been affected by a curse and had gone mad on the streets!!" the reports came one by one."Your majesty!! There are traces of black magicians in the capital!!"King Philips pulled the hair on his head; he was dizzy hearing the night report after the meeting while his right hand had disappeared somewhere. But Georges made sure Duke Benedict had returned to his residence due to some urgent matter, saw the Duke's face when he got the news turned white, and returned to his military horse."DAMN IT!! FIND THAT BLACK WITCH SOON, AND DON'T FORGET TO USE THE MOONLIT RELIC!!!"YES, MY LORD!!" the commander in chief and the commander of the soldiers answered firmly and bravely before leaving the king's presence.Moonlit is a crescent-shaped amulet worn by knights to prot
After the commotion between Oscar and prince Alaric was heard by the guards outside the door, they now had to face the Duke, who looked tired but still managed to burst into anger. Even at a time like this, emotions will be easily ignited by minor problems."So you entered my daughter's room through the terrace and were found by Oscar, who didn't know you were a prince? But do you think that's a good thing?!" asked duke Benedict covering his face and holding back his emotions in front of a prince who had grown up but still thought childishly. "You know what! If our family's assassins discovered your presence, you wouldn't be able to reverse Oscar's attack. You might be injured and die, but what if it's an assassin from a noble family who is waiting for my family's downfall?!" said duke Benedict tiredly."I'm sorry..." Oscar didn't dare to raise his head; his father had already allowed him to watch inside his sister's room during the night. The Duke made Duchess Hera unconscious by for
Benedict still remembers this old story, the incident that killed his great-grandfather to protect king Gustaf I who tried to save his majesty from a sudden attack by the black magician, "The witch drank an aging potion. They were adults who looked like children. They were in deceit! The mercy that king Gustaf I gave brought disaster for hundreds of years; to this day, we are still looking for the whereabouts of the black magician's remains."Oscar held his breath, and he slowly pulled away. Not expecting that he would hear a vital secret, everyone thought that the first king had executed the evil black magicians. But they are haunted by black magicians who might take revenge on the Gustaf kingdom.......Inside the study king, Philips listened to the explanation Georges said carefully. He rested his chin on his hand. He never thought that his best friend's daughter would be exposed to black magic, but this would pave the way for the kingdom to look for traces of dark magicians who ha
Rania knelt with her father and mother in front of Georges, the aide of King Philips, who was unfolding a gold sheet containing the direct emperor's decree.Read the decree in front of the main gate of Guinevere Castle, and everyone who flocked wanted to know because a royal soldier was carrying the national flag. Moreover, seeing noble number 1 kneeling in front of the king's aide, who unfolded a gold leaf containing a decree. With that, when Georges spoke about the royal decree in a loud voice, everyone immediately fell to their knees, listening with respect and wisdom."Royal decree! To Duke Benedict Guinevere, please kneel!""I accept the emperor's edict." Said her father, who knelt in front of Georges.'Emperor decree,With the descent of the holy gift from god.With this, I, king Philips The Gustaf II, make Benedict Guinevere the king's right hand. With this decree passed, Guinevere's entire family is in the main house. I was raised in a position to become a high-ranking noble e
In the morning, Rania saw that her parents had made up even though they still looked awkward and stiff. The three of them ate at the same table, and soon Ines came with a teenage boy walking behind her. The man had a tall build, but her gaze dropped unsteadily, and her shoulders even slumped, showing that he was a lowly person in front of nobles.The three people there turned to look at Oscar's figure in surprise, especially Hera and Benedict, who had recently made up. Here, of course, she immediately stood up from the dining chair to look at her husband, who shook her head to tell her he didn't know anything."I invited Oscar, and he is also Guinevere's family now. Do you want rumors to spread and bring down our family because you didn't take good care of your father's illegitimate child?" asked Rania boldly to her mother, who had clenched her fists in anger.She looked away, intending to leave but was blocked by Benedict and Rania, which made Hera even angrier."Are you that strong
Benedict rested his forehead on his fist and had just come home looking pale and tired. But when he got home, he had to hear another bad news, his daughter was followed by the butler and also his prostitute, who he spoiled in his own house. The butler, whom he had trusted since his father's days were still around, committed another crime, corrupted his daughter's monthly allowance, and did not take action against Margaret when Rania reported it."Fuck!"Benedict looked up to see a tray of stew and water right by his side, then looked at his assistant, Caleb Peterson."Please eat first. You haven't eaten anything after returning from the palace," Caleb said, lowering his head before retreating backward."I have no appetite. Please return this from the table." Benedict stared in disgust at the meat soup. For some reason, he felt no appetite, let alone to eat. That regret was taking over him, from Oscar to Hera and Rania."But, sir. This is an order—""—Have you forgotten who your master
"Ines, please throw away this meat and tell father that the meat in the kitchen this time is awful and not fit to eat!" she said, glancing at Ines, who was surprised because usually, if she acted then, Rania would block her. Accepting this lowly maid's bullying, not even allowing her to report the butler's and Margaret's actions to ladies and gentlemen."Well,""A young lady!! What are you doing? Food is so hard to come by in winter, like now!! It's a pity for the hunters who have caught this venison. Many people have difficulty eating the meat—" Margaret spoke without being asked while continuing to make her conscience feel very guilty. Still, those words would only affect Rania in her first life, not the current Rania."I'm not asking your opinion if you feel sorry for the hunter who caught this deer. You should cook properly so that it tastes good to eat and not go to waste like it's not edible now!!" Rania replied while looking into Margaret's eyes which were now shocked because h
