Chapter 1

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE KINGDOM PILLAR 1

The 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.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE KINGDOM PILLAR 2
The queen looked at the bracelet in the velvet box, whose color had faded, even though it was no longer the original color of the box. This bracelet was a gift from Benedict when they were lovers. Cassia loves Benedict very much, but she is greedy for something bigger than just being the wife of a hero and a pillar of the royal family known as the sword master.When she was appointed as a woman who would enter the palace as a concubine, like the first agreement between King Gustaf the first with her family, the queen could not wait for confirmation from Benedict, who was going to war, and the queen dowager only thinks realistically. So she took the opportunity as a concubine before ascending the throne to become queen.Her beautiful green eyes with blonde hair, typical of the Rodriguez noble family, and her white and slender hands looked gorgeous when she took the bracelet to take a closer look with longing feelings."Am I not that valuable in your eyes right now?" asked the queen int

KINGDOM DESTRUCTION 3
None of the residents spoke while king Alaric spoke. Everyone listened."Thus, with this, I punish the sinners to death. And leaving one offspring to be sacrificed for the rest of her life, we need her blood to be shed once a week to eliminate the influence of black magic in the kingdom. With this, I punish you to death!!""LONG LIVE THE KINGDOM OF BRITAIN GUSTAF!! LONG LIVE ALARIC KING!!"Everyone shouted after king Alaric finished speaking. He returned to his seat right next to the queen dowager. But the calm Benedict rebelled violently when he heard that his daughter would not die but become the victim of torture, which was more terrible than death."CASSIA!!" Benedict shouted the name of the queen dowager, who turned slowly towards him, giving a triumphant smile."NO!! PLEASE, MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER, ARE NOT BLACK SWITCHES!! ALARIC, PLEASE BELIEVE IN ME!"Unfortunately, she did not hear Rania's screams among the screams of the residents who cursed her parents, and her grandparent

UNHAPPY END 1
Alaric stepped hastily towards the dungeon, and he remembered that today was the day the civil guards began to give torture sentences to suspected traitors and descendants of black magic users. As the last descendant, Rania gets a life sentence for removing black magic as the royal fortune teller says the way to remove black magic is by giving the user's traitor blood.But, in recent years, there are often monsters that enter the kingdom due to black magic that attracts the smell and intuitive senses of the demons.He might hate Rania for daring to poison the queen's mother before, as well as the empress dowager this time, well as himself in front of so many people, but in fact, Alaric still harbors that love until this day. He couldn't bear to see the woman injured, and he should have let Rania die because of the torture wound. He always brought a healer to treat Rania for her injuries.Watching the civilians and stopping them from behaving excessively, even Alaric killed the civilia

UNHAPPY END 2
"Did you hear that king Alaric just conquered a small kingdom in three days? It's crazy!! The king of Alaric now holds the big record, and he is known to be so cruel and ruthless that if you commit a mistake like corruption and raping women, the punishment will be meted out without a judge!" Rania turned towards the prison door when she heard it."Yeah, the kingdom is more prosperous. Even though the city's construction is no longer neglected, I can see the city's beauty is getting more and more charming. Even the embroidery house isn't as shabby as it used to be!" Laughter sounded at the end of the sentence of the civil guards outside."We all know King Alaric loves the current queen dowager as his surrogate mother. What a very filial son."The sound of their footsteps echoed because this was a cold dungeon. Before then, Rania heard other footsteps that sounded heavy but so familiar.JINGLING!The sound of the key made Rania cringe and run to the end of the room, and she crouched dow

UNHAPPY ENDING 3
Rania opened her eyes to find the man who tried to kill her now looking at her with a worried face. There was no blood there, no red eyes that wanted to devour her immediately. But Rania could still feel the real fear, so it was just a dream."It was just a bad dream. Go back to sleep..." said King Alaric hugging Rania's warm body back into his arms. "It's okay, and I'm here. No one will dare touch you."But Rania did not calm down, and she felt more and more as if a rope was wrapped around her neck, ready to hang her in seconds. She was threatening her life before she could avenge her parents.Rania's fears, feelings, thoughts, and hearts are often tense and uncertain with time. There was a time when Rania would feel frightened by sudden things like king Alaric who often came to touch her or sleep hugging her until dawn.Every time there was the sound of footsteps, she was frightened. Every time she closed her eyes, her mind wandered about a death better than this life. But Rania rem

UNHAPPY ENDING 4
King Alaric then fell silent, unable to answer. But his body was getting closer to hugging Rania's back, and a calming scent emerged from the body of the woman he had loved so far. Since realizing that even he couldn't turn his back on his childhood fiancé, King Alaric has grown more desperate and has caused big waves in the kingdom."I will release you from this prison, but on the condition that you will be my mistress!" said King Alaric, suddenly making Rania's body freeze.Rania did not answer, and the woman stared blankly at the wall in front of her. Her eyes were already giving any reaction, and she lost herself when the person who had given her a bad experience came to take the most meaningful thing she had and was snatched away by this devil-hearted man."Will free you from this place, Rania." King Alaric said, kissing the back of Rania's neck."On what basis did you let me out of this prison? After so many years, this place became my home!" replied Rania, finally opening her v

NOT ENDING
"Fine, I'll do what I can," Pitter replied resignedly.Looking at the pale figure in front of him, this woman was already lifeless, but Alaric still preserved her body. It had been a week, and he continued to treat every old scar with all strength until now, that face looked even paler than before.After finishing the treatment, every scar on Rania's body disappeared and left her cold skin and stiff body."I discovered a terrible conspiracy from death, Rania..." blurted King Alaric to Pitter, who intended to say goodbye."What did you find? Did it happen to the ministers?""My mother, queen dowager Cassia. She ordered someone to release the fugitive from prison with the lure of unconditional freedom. I also found an oddity in every Rania's blood taken several years ago. Didn't burn the blood like the fortune teller said, but spread all over the walls of the royal castle that protected the city from monsters…." King Alaric explained."Then what are you going to do now?" asked Pitter."

A TRAGIC DEATH.
"I'm going to go wandering, and it's been two years since my sister's death." Said 10-year-old Benjamin.His body was tall, and his face looked more grown. Even though he was only a ten-year-old boy, his thoughts were above those of an adult worrying about king Alaric as his adoptive brother."You are still only ten years old. It will not be allowed for you to wander around!" answered king Alaric to the younger brother of his childhood sweetheart."I have Mikael to accompany me; he is a trained warrior. I want to find mom, so she can explain everything that happened to me! And take responsibility for it!" said Benjamin with great confidence."It won't be that easy, Benjamin. You know that mother is the strongest and most stubborn woman. Even her cunning is not easy for me to know if not with the experience I've been through." Said king Alaric honestly.The palace scheme is worse than anything else. Even husband and wife can kill each other. King Alaric realized this all started with t

"Where's Oscar?!" asked Rania after a day after she realized.Hera looked at her daughter with a pale face, "You must be hungry.
