The group of rogues ran for their lives, including the Scar. One of them tried to take Aurora with them but he got shouted at by another:“What the fuck are you doing! Just fucking leave her—”He didn’t get to finish.The next second a giant black wolf leaped out from the darkness and bit down on th
“The timing is suspicious. They attacked us first right before we send out our advance force. And they chose the perfect target, Fox Town, which is geologically easy for them to attack and retreat, and it doesn’t have many armed soldiers. They can’t have this much information without somebody on the
Everyone in the room turned to look at Aurora, who frowned at Glen’s question.“Rogue’s language? What are you talking about?” she asked.Glen looked reluctant. After letting out a long sigh, he continued, “I didn’t want to say anything at first but since we are naming names now…Remember that strang
Damien rose from his seat.With everyone staring, he walked to the door and called over a Silver Blade soldier, asking him to find Kaelan.“We should hear what Kaelan has to say,” said him deeply.Moments later, Kaelan was brought into the room.“You requested to see me?” he asked blankly. “Did anyt
Aurora looked at him blankly. It took her a long moment to process what he just said.After what felt like an eternity to Kaelan, Aurora finally muttered in a dry voice, “…This joke isn’t funny, Kaelan.”“I wish it were a joke. But it wasn’t,” Kaelan said breathing heavily. “I—I can’t keep this from
“All rogue’s kids got one of those on the day of their birth,” Kaelan said lowly. “There were times when I wanted to grab a knife and gouge it out…I can’t choose who I am or where I came from. But does my identity matter more than my own will?”Aurora stared at his ugly shaped brand.Her chest contr
The room lapsed into silence again hearing about Angelina’s words.What she was saying about the Rogue King got everyone intrigued.“You know the Rogue King personally?” Glen asked. “What is the Rogue King like? We know so little about this person that we aren’t even sure about the person’s gender.”
Damien looked back at her, his gaze soft.“Alright, you love birds!” Jeff cried and turned towards Steven, “That leaves you to vote man. Are you with us or not?”“I don’t see what other choices I have. It’s 4 against 1 no matter what,” said Steven grumpily.“Alright! It settles then,” Jeff clapped h
She turns to the doctor, “Run a couple of tests on her. Now.”Two soldiers jumped at her, pinning her on the spot.The doctor got up to her and took out a needle, tubing, and collection vials.…They were going to take her blood!Aurora’s body tensed all over.If they used her blood to run a DNA test
“Queen Aurora! Open the door! Elder Madeline wants to see you!”Aurora sat by the window and turned to look at the closed door.“Tell Elder Madeline that I am not feeling well and prefer to be alone,” she said coldly.“You are not feeling well, which is exactly why Elder Madeline wants to see you! Y
The swear.She didn’t know the consequences that bore with it back then.Now she knew.Bound by that oath, she was physically forbidden to disclose that secret.It was her own doing.Desperate tears streamed down Aurora’s cheeks as she choked, “D—Damien…God…Please trust me…”“Trust you what?”He too
Aurora couldn’t believe what she was seeing with her own eyes.…Damien?How did Damien get in here?! She thought that there was no way either of them could pass that misted forest!And why didn’t he bring more soldiers? He was here alone, how dangerous!And Westin…It seemed that Westin knew Damien w
Amidst the sea of lilies, fairy lights on the archways and trees twinkled like stars, casting a soft, warm glow.The gentle rustle of leaves, the occasional flutter of butterflies, and the distant murmur of a mountain stream added to the dreamy serenity.A path paved by pedals winded through the sea
Aurora stopped laughing.A nostalgic and slightly sad feeling surged up in her chest.Yeah…When was the last time that he made her laugh?“…Back in the Grace Ruin,” she said lowly eventually.“The Grace Ruin.” Westin nodded, “We were facing a lot of dangers and you didn’t even know who I am. But it
Elder Medline was the only person who remained sitting.She crossed her arms and looked at Aurora with a critical eye.“What is with the waistline?” she asked.“What about it?”“It doesn’t fit. And it makes your waist look like a bucket,” she said with a tone of asperity. “The tailors should close u
Aurora held her breath involuntarily.Westin didn’t mention that he had a godmother.And she didn’t remember seeing Elder Medline on any occasion before. It almost felt as though Elder Medline had been deliberately avoiding her.Elder Medline cast a warning look upon Aurora and turned to Annie, “Ris
Aurora sighed.…It was going to be a long day.They arrived at the fitting room and the maids opened the door for them.Everyone in the room stood up and curtseyed to them upon their arrival.“Queen Aurora,” they said in unison.Aurora’s eyes flickered to a girl in the back of the crowd.Annie.She
