The sound of approaching footsteps was heard down the hallway as it headed towards the throne room.A servant walked into the vast room, king Fabian looked up, his eye fixed on the scroll in his hand."My king" Hanim, the leader of the soldiers in Sunan bowed towards King Fabian in respect. "King Nebula sent this to you" he announced, walked towards the king and handed him the scroll tied with a red ribbon.King Fabian curiously opened it, his eyes reading each word one after the other. Slowly, a pleased smirk appeared in his lip, he looked up at the servant standing before him, his eyes became hard as rock."Go to Prince Philip's chamber and call him here at once, we have business to discuss" he ordered. The servant bowed and quickly walked out of the room and headed towards the prince's chamber.Sweat trickled down Prince Philip's face as he went in and out of the blonde on his bed, his eyes closed in pleasure as the moan of the lady filled his ears. He opened his eyes and looked
Lilia strolled through the royal garden, Sarah stood next to her and accompanied her but Lilia didn't speak much but kept on staring into space.It's been two weeks since her last visit to the woods, a night she can never forget as she was given her first kiss in rage. Ever since she was young, she imagined getting her first kiss filled with love not anger. Although she wanted more of his kiss but the fact that he almost killed her could not be forgotten, the proud guy didn't even apologize but all he could do was to grab her in a mind blowing kiss. "Sarah" Lilia let out as she stared at a beautiful sunflower, her eyes fixed on it. "My lady," Sarah responded as she stood beside her.Lilia sighed with a smile, "How did you feel during your first kiss?" She asked the young maid whose cheeks quickly flushed red as she blushed."My lady" she said with a chuckle, "It was amazing, Jeremy was gentle on me and he kissed me lovely under the stars, it was magical my lady" she replied filled w
Lilia stood firm as her whole body couldn't believe what just happened. Slowly she touched her lips and the spot he kissed on her neck which took her breath away. She scanned around her room, her breathing deep and loud, Lilia touched her ear, her fingers shaking in love at the realization.She let out a soft laugh and ran to her bed, her face filled with smiles. With a rested head, she tossed around her bed happily, as her entire body burned with happiness. Morning came pretty fast, during breakfast, she was filled with smiles to the extent that King Arthur noticed her happy looks. "You look so excited my child" he let out and Queen Mena nodded in unison.Lilia looked up at her parents, "I am just happy, father." she briefly responded with a smile and continued to eat as she tried to ignore their stares.After breakfast, she went to the village with Sarah, they went to the busy market and Lilia bought some new clothes for Sarah whose eyes shone with excitement."You should wear one
The royal carriage of Anedo rode towards the kingdom of Honile. Lilia glanced at the mask in her hand, thank goodness her face would be covered in one, she doesn't want people staring at her like they do whenever she goes to a social gathering like this. The journey to Honile took only an hour and soon, the royal horses were walking into the palace as other royal carriages were parked.The sound of music could be heard loudly, Lilia turned to her parents who looked satisfied at the place of this. Getting towards the huge palace door, Lilia quickly wore her mask. A man stood at the entrance and as soon as he saw king Arthur approaching, he bowed in respect and loudly announced his name. Kings, Queens, noble men and women turned to look at the royal family who walked in, their heads bowed in respect as King Arthur and his family proceeded into the throne room that was filled with lots of people. King Fabian stood at a spot and watched King Arthur with hatred burning in his eyes. The p
Lilia gazed at the sky with an angry look. The garden was calm and far away from the hall, she was grateful for that because she didn't hear the sound of the music. The realization of Adolphus dancing sweetly with the blonde princess from a kingdom she doesn't want to know about. Lilia bit her lower lip as she tried to hold the anger growing in her but the more it flashed through her mind, the more she groaned in anger as she rolled her eyes.Well, she shouldn't feel jealous, Adolphus is just her friend, a friend who she has shared a compassionate kiss with and a friend whom she had her first kiss with. She is sure that he is enjoying the blonde company, her long lashes and annoying giggles.Lilia glanced down at the mask in her hand, she should probably stay here till the ball is over, the night was cold but gentle on her skin, lonely,she inhaled deeply and stared at the sky.Adolphus glanced at the blonde next to him, he managed to put on a smile but her laughs and annoying talks b
Queen Mena stood apart, her eyes fixed on the crowd. A group of queens greeted and passed her, their eyes admiring her beauty which was indeed splendid. A servant came closer to her, offered her a drink which she rejected, her sharp eyes fixed on the guests who danced happily with their partners. She glanced at the exit door, turned to her husband who happily sat with kings as they discussed. She looked away from humans and began to head towards the exit door, her mind away from the people surrounding her.Queen Mena got to the exit, she found a familiar figure standing a few feets to the tall water fountain. Elegantly, she walked towards the figure, her eyes fixed on the fountain as she held a hard look on her face."Is it done?" She asked with a stern voice, her look violent and evil as she slowly turned to King Fabian who stood beside her. An evil grin appeared on King Fabian's lips, he looked at the beautiful queen whose heart was filled with nothing but pure evil, "Yes, it is,
Dust rose up in the sky as the horse galloped faster as it could. Mena gazed around, she wore a black cloak which was placed over her head to disguise her face. No one must see her and staying hidden would be the best to avoid suspicious looks from people. She galloped towards the kingdom of Sunan, her sharp blue eyes fixed to the direction where she went, the thought of king Fabian holding her brought sparks to her body and she couldn't wait to have him around her. To her, her husband, King Arthur isn't compared to king Fabian who is her secret lover and making him get what she wants is her priority.The horse got to the gate and immediately the soldiers sighted her coming, the gate of the kingdom flung open and she rode in, the cloak still over her head to disguise herself. She galloped towards the palace as the sun shone brightly on her beautiful skin.She got into the palace in no time, walked into it and strolled towards King Fabian's chamber, she knew her ways around the palace
Hundreds of soldiers rode faster as they headed towards the kingdom of Sunan as a great dust rose as they galloped on their horses. They got closer to the kingdom gate and at the sight of the approaching soldiers, the soldiers guarding the gate swiftly opened it and watched them as they rode in, their faces firm and serious as there was no sign of friendliness in their eyes. They got towards the palace and found king Fabian along with Prince Philip waiting patiently for them at the palace courtyard. The soldiers got down from their horses with swords in their hands as they waited for the king to order them. King Fabian stared at them with harsh eyes, he studied each soldier one after the other as he walked around the large courtyard inspecting each soldier. These were the soldiers sent to him by the sixth kingdom, all kings were in support of him invading the kingdom of Anedo due to his promise which is just his bait to get what he wants. King Fabian walked back to his former posi
"How is Orlan doing?" Dr Hitler asked me, as I wanted to step out of his office. "He's gone already sir." I raised my head to him. "Just a week and he's gone. He is really a jerk. Who visits his love for just a week and leaves." I knew where the words with make a stop and quickly I dropped the files and bid him bye, with a hastened step. I closed the door behind me and sighed. I walked to the secretary and worked on a blood sample with her. We filed it and I walked into my office, met a rose, with a tag on it. I froze at the door, looked left and right, behind me, maybe someone would look suspicious of keeping something like that there. Knowing fully well that I have two apparent enemies in the hospital, I checked for them, before going in, into the office. I moved to it and Dr Hitler appeared behind me, he peeped from above me. "What's that?" He asked with a suspicious tone. "It's nothing sir. It is just a gift." I responded "Hm, it is..." He muffled. I walked in alone and shut
The door of the dungeon opened, Lilia looked up and saw Natacha who walked in with a tray of food. She placed beside Lilia who looked surprised, glanced at the food and back at her, "Why did you bring this? And didn't any soldier see you with it?' I asked all at once. Natacha scoffed, she opened a plate and the smell of cooked corn filled my nose. The food looked good too and the sight of it made my mouth water. I watched Natacha as she began to eat, she didn't say a word but ate continuously, her eyes searching my gaze as she ate. Soon, she finished the whole meal, drank a cup of water and smiled, "Now let's start" she announced.I looked at her with firm eyes, did she just bring in her food to make me yearn for it, this girl is unbelievable!Natacha saw the look on my face, she burst out into laughter, "Just look at your fave princess, you should have told me to bring some for you. This is my night portion and I decided to share it with you". She said, I nodded and fixed my gaze
King Arthur stared at Mena for a long time, his eyes couldn't believe who stood near him, he didn't know what to think. If this is the Mena he fell in love with or the witch that took her place. With shaky eyes, he stared deeply into her blue eyes, they looked calm, gentle and filled with love."Mena" he whispered with a rising emotion in his heart, "Is this really you?" He implored to be sure, this time, he does not want to make the same mistake he made eighteen years ago. Mena stared at him with a smile, her eyes welled up in tears, she couldn't believe that she would be able to stand near the man that she loves, the man who was taken away from her by her sister, her evil sister who has never wanted her happiness ever since they were kids. Mena knows how many sacrifices she has made just for Suna to be happy but she wanted more, even to the extent that she took her love and her child as hers.With affection in her eyes, she held King Arthur's hand and wrapped her fingers around him
The next morning, Lilia heard footsteps approaching her cell. She was awake all night and didn't sleep a wink, she studied each spell one page after the other and now, she knew all the content of the book. As the footsteps drew closer, Lilia quickly knew that more than two people were approaching, she stood up, raised her gown and tugged the book into her gown in a position where she wouldn't suspect a thing. Hastily, she sat on the floor and rested her head on the wall pretending she was fast asleep. The chains of the dungeon began to chatter, Lilia knew that they were entering, soon, she heard the door open and at once, she knew that it was Prince Philip, he was here to mock her.Prince Philip walked closer to her, he bent down and studied her face, a frown settled on him. With hardened eyes, he turned to the soilders next to him, his look ready to murder them, "I thought you said that she is badly injuries with brusis all over her skin, how come there isn't a sign of a wound on he
Lilia breathed deeply, her eyes slowly opened as the coldness of the dungeon overshadowed her. With pain all over her body, she coughed out loud and spat out blood at once, her body, weak and vulnerable. She thought she was going to die but finding herself back to the dungeon broke her completely down. Why can't fat just let her leave this cruel word and join her father in the after world, while she must continue to suffer, it's been years and she can't just take it all in anymore. She coughed again and spat out more blood, her face covered in dried blood that trickled down her forehead, nose and mouth. Soon, she heard footsteps approaching, the thought of the soldiers coming back for her made her skin crawl, her body was immediately filled with goosebumps. She tried to move her body but all to no avail, her whole strength was gone and whosoever that is coming should end it all for her, she is ready to move on and not suffer in anguish anymore. She heard the door of her dungeon unl
The loud cry of the soldiers was heard along with the villagers who stood apart and watched the princess dragged down the Stony path like a slave, chains tied around her hands and legs.Lilia breathed difficulty, her lungs were burning and the intense heat of the sun made matters worse for her. She screamed and begged, hot tears rolled down her eyes but the soldiers were merciless. Anytime she felt weak and fell to the ground, they beat her up with strong sticks in their hands or poured her with dirty water which they collected from some villagers' stalls. The whole town watched her brutally punished and treated inhumanely, bruises appeared on Lilia's skina ns more blood oozed out from her mouth, nose, legs and hands. The soldiers shouted at any passerby on their way. They dragged Lilia down into the market place and people who came to visit from neighbouring kingdoms watched the princess with pity in their hands, children who stood apart with their mothers cried out in tears, their
Lilia strolled down the royal garden as she cut the outgrown grass, her mind filled with Natacha words. Throughout the night, she couldn't sleep, the dungeon floor became too stiff for her to close her eyes thereby making a feeling of insomnia dawn on her. Her aunt, Queen Suna is a heartless witch and she is nothing like her mother. She wondered how many lives the queen must have claimed and how many she is planning on executing including hers so she must act fast, get accustomed to her powers and finally get revenge for the death of all the pains, tears and agony she has passed through.Lilia continued with the grass cutting, she tried not to get injured by the sharp cutter, she isn't used to this tedious work but ever since her life changed, she got used to a lot of things. With thoughts whirling in her mind, Lilia noticed the presence of someone behind her. It was broad daylight so there was nothing to be scared about. She pretended like she wasn't aware of the stranger's presence
Lilia walked out of the bathroom, she smelled nice and her washed hair was packed at the back with a rubber. She wore the simple and worn out gown Natacha gave her and honestly, she felt comfortable in it.She found Natacha waiting patiently for her, she sat on a sofa with a book in her hand. "You can leave now, once it is sunset, go into the woods and I shall meet you there, I know that you have burning questions that your heart needs to clear off" Natacha said in a stiff tone, her gaze fixed on the book she was reading. "Thank you" Lilia muttered and walked out the door. At the sound of the closed door, Natacha looked up and closed the book in her hand. Her brunette roommate, Genevieve with a pointed nose and black eyes, walked into the hut minutes later, "What was she doing in our home?" She inquired at Natacha who gave her a reluctant look."The queen requested that I have her washed and dressed" She briefly answered, got up and walked towards the bed leaving Genevieve looking a
Lilia opened her eyes to the sound of approaching footsteps, she could hear whispering but she couldn't fathom their words and she grew curious to know what they were talking about. She woke up hours ago to total darkness, with the strength left in her, she kicked and screamed but all fate was lost, she is locked up in here until someone comes to save her. Exhausted, she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She is a witch and should be able to cast some powerful spells but she knows none or anything relating to a witch. Her mother's words about her real identity ran in her head, her transformation baffled her even till this day, all these while in her life, she never knew that she is a werewolf, the same being she never believed existed, the same being she go deep in the cave and was terrified to look at. What will Adolphus think of her now that she is also part of him, she could see the sad look in his eyes when the truth about her being a witch was revealed, the pain his mother cau
