Chapter 38 – The Queen’s Time
Zaraat picked his swords and pushed himself up from the ground. Despite still breathless from the electrical charges earlier, the edge of his mouth curved into a sneer."Great. This is better," he said. The lacerations around his chest and back didn't bother him as he raised his swords up and did a fighting stance.
Solene waited for him to attack, but he didn't. Instead, from his spot, her vision saw double of him, and then triple, and this went on until she counted to twenty.
Twenty fucking pirate wannabees.
She cringed, not because she had just given him this advantage, but because she hated looking at the same ugly face at different angles. They all surrounded her, clearly outnumbering her.
"Let's dance, bitch," his clones said in unison and with that, they all attacked her at once.
Holding her scythe tighter, Solene clenched her jaw and eyed the two clones who
Chapter 39 – The Queen’s King to the RescueWith the stone sentinel’s earth manipulation, Hope was taken to the basement dungeon and ironically in one of the cobweb-infested cells where she passed earlier when she scouted the place. Easily, she could have broken out of this prison, but she opted to stay. She didn’t want to complicate things for Solene, plus she believed she would do well in the second round of the tournament, kicking ass those lowly demons who knew nothing about her being the Queen of Sattus—the Queen of Gehenna technically.If there was anything Caym was particular about, it was entertainment in his tournament, and Hope gave him just that idea—two women fighting demons and monsters would be entertainment.Hope couldn’t be more excited about stepping foot in that arena, so when the ground started shaking again, she knew it was time. Inside the stone cage like before, she was
Chapter 40 – The King and Queen’s ReunionFor the first time in the King of Sattus’ existence, tears filled his eyes. He had always believed he was incapable of creating the salty liquid, but here he was, unable to stop it from rolling down his jaw and dripping into the sacred pool.Anguish filled him. Intense anguish that even the whole of Sattus shared. The once bright sky of Nirvana—a place in Sattus where all good souls await their Final Ascent—became dark, while the other sections of Sattus became even gloomier.Jacob felt Hein’s pain too. Solene was his daughter. He wanted to share a life with her in Sattus, but it was questionable now if that vision would ever become a reality. Still though, he held onto hope. He had instructed her well before her death on Earth. He was confident Solene would pass this obstacle with the help of the time spell. That is, if she had cast it.“Please, Sol
Chapter 41 – The Venerated QueenAs the King of the Underworld, one would expect Hein's chamber to be boring, lifeless and basically all black. Solene honestly expected it too, but to be welcomed by such a grand room with a breathtaking sight, she was truly surprised.There was only one wall that covered the room, and this supported the main door and the bedpost's black suede headboard. The other four walls were not solid. It was replaced with something better than the mundane 2D walls.There was no furniture visible at all. There was just a grand bed with two bedside tables and one gray-toned chaise lounge beside it. One would think that the King of Sattus was just a minimalist, but no, he intended this so to highlight the water feature ahead."A waterfall?!" Solene gasped as soon as her eyes landed on the raging water some distance away from them. Deep was their kissing, but she just couldn't simply ignore such a sight
Chapter 42 – The Queen CuriousCaym’s CastleGehenna“Amon, this is a surprise,” Caym’s sharp voice resonated all over the grand hall as he watched his new visitor in mild disgust and curiosity. He sat on his throne—a seat created by his delusions of grandeur—carved in emerald stone and adorned with gold spikes.He leaned forward, rested his elbows against his knees and scoffed lightly. “Out of all the demon princes in Hell, I didn’t expect you to land here so soon.”The one addressed gave him a scowl. “I had an unguarded moment,” he answered in a tone mixed with anger and disappointment. Fresh from Gehenna’s red desert, he wore a tattered robe with a hood that covered most of his features, except for his demon horn. Unlike Caym, he didn’t have the luxury of time to file it down to a function
Chapter 43 – The Queen’s FatherDressed in a sweeping gown that matched the color of her unique eyes, Solene strode inside the throne room with Hein leading the way. Like her, he wore a formal outfit, looking sharp and dashing in his kingly suit despite the usual color he favored.No soul was around. No guards or guests to honor their first appearance together as king and queen in this supposedly public room, and that didn’t bother Solene. She only desired to see one person, and that was her father.Like all the other marbled floors of the castle, the throne floor also had a black shade, and like Hein’s chamber, solid walls on the right and left sides were replaced with rushing water.Solene tossed him an arched brow after seeing this feature again.“For convenience in surveillance,” Hein explained. “And ease in travel. All souls in Sattus, once summoned by me, can simply arrive
Chapter 44 – The Queen Getting the TreatmentIn the blink of an eye, Solene and Hein was back in the Rantzen Estate, inside Lady Ursula's weakening dimensional plane where the small hut stood as if no time passed by. Materializing specifically inside the tiny living space, their eyes moved everywhere as they examined the room. Everything was at it should be, including the grimoire which was still on the floor near the sofa where Solene was killed, not at all collecting dust."My book!" she exclaimed, disengaging from Hein's embrace and retrieving it in haste.Using the Creation Spell, she created an imaginary pandora box and placed the grimoire inside. Then, she faced Hein and asked, "What time is it now? We need to go outside this plane, Henri."What she remembered before she died, the time was late afternoon. Cassandra arrived bringing refreshments back then, but she ended up possessed by the Demon of Avarice and kille
Chapter 45 – Earning the Queen’s BlessingSolene’s clit engorged further as Hein continued sucking it. Then he parted her folds even more, licked it upward until he arrived at his final destination. Without preamble, he entered her with his tongue. He stretched it further inside, pulled it back and stretched it again, all the while Solene mewled with heavy breaths.“Hein... Hein!” she cried out as she climaxed minutes later.Her high didn’t stop there as suddenly, she felt both cocks inside her: Henri in her swollen pussy while Hein inside her ass.“Our insatiable queen,” Hein grunted.“Hein...” Solene breathed out.“Let’s give her something to shout, shall we?” Henri offered while flashing a grin.“Henri...” Solene pressed her forehead against his cheek.“Yes, my thoughts exactly,” Hein answered.
Chapter 46 – The Queen CelebratedAs what Lady Ursula said, the Rantzen Family celebrates birthdays differently. When Solene entered the garden maze’s center plaza, she understood what the old woman meant. Not only was it held inside a maze, it was set up in a way that all the guests would circle the theta-shaped fountain. A circular symbol was drawn around it, which Solene hadn’t noticed the last time she visited this area of the estate. She couldn’t help but arch a brow. She wasn’t told how the party would flow. She was only informed by Henri to ‘prepare’ and nothing more. And by ‘prepare’ he meant to choose a dress out of the three he bought for her.Black and red. These colors were always what she favored, so when she spotted one that had these shades spread neatly on her mattress, she chose it. Patricia, her personal maid, helped her don it. As always, the gown had a slit design, re
Chapter 53 – EpilogueLike her first wedding, Solene strode into the aisle with numerous people watching. However, on this occasion, they were all souls. The majority of them were grounded, sitting on the pews, but there were others too levitating in the air. They were all dressed in white, beige, gray, and red uniforms, signifying their designations in Sattus. However, Solene saw them not as souls without a shell, but real people with real lives, living in this realm she had come to love.As she inched closer and closer to the altar, Solene stared ahead in wonder. During their three-day stay in the Fair Silver Estate, Henri mentioned something about a surprise. This surprise was the newly built garden in Castle Vatlavus, created only for her, or as he stated—technically a renovated garden since the first one was destroyed during Caym’s attack.Immediately, Solene saw this as the perfect place to hold her second wed
Chapter 52 â The Queenâs Support Indeed, the crack in Gehennaâs barrier was large, so large that it allowed many monsters and armies of demons out. Solene expected this from Henri, though. He was a powerful man, after all. There was no denying he could destroy this section of Sattus if he really wanted to, angry or not. Partly, she felt guilty that this happened, but what else was new? She had always been the reason for the misfortunes of many people who became collateral damage or the unsuspected victim. Case in point, Cassandra, Mrs. Ingrid, Tessa, Lady Ursula, the people at the coffee shop and at the supermarket, and AC, her innocent little brother. But to feel depressive about it wasnât the solution now. She already rose and conquered this heavy burden in her heart, and she was so ready to end this once and for all. As she neared her destination, she spotted one soul near it, trying to fix the crack with his powers. When he moved
Chapter 51 – The King of SattusWhen Henri returned to Sattus, it only took seconds for him to know where Caym was—inside the castle, in Solene's room, where she hadn't even seen yet. He was trying to conceal his presence, but to no avail. It was pathetic. It was laughable. Nothing could escape Henri's notice, especially when inside the castle.But Kelios said he was in Tartarus, supervising his army. It totally contradicted the facts, so this meant Caym was using his power of manipulation. He was certainly manipulating someone into posing as him, or he had someone transform into his likeness, or he transformed this volunteer into his clone.Whichever was the case, Henri knew this was all a trap—a trap he was more than happy to play. He instructed Kelios to pose as him too and with Jacob's help, mid-teleporting into Tartarus, Kelios changed into Henri's face and build. Even the King's great scythe was cloned all jus
Chapter 50 – The Queen’s SurpriseA series of lightning crack above the castle spires and the formation of a storm cell in the sky heralded the return of the King of Sattus. Henri materialized on top of the tallest tower with his boot hitting the pointed roof.With brows twisted, he surveyed his castle below. It was still untouched, good, but half of its surroundings were already in bad shape. There were no villages or souls on it, but the trees and the landscaped garden he created for Solene to welcome her stay in Sattus was all in ruins. There were rubbles everywhere from the pillars he erected in the garden, and most of the bushes and flowering plants were on fire. This angered him so."Your Majesty." Kelios appeared behind him and stated.Henri remained his gaze on the garden, hands clenched, and said, "Kelios, speak.""We have driven back Caym's army in Nirvana, Krusk, Bettina and Argelu, Your Majesty.
Chapter 49 – The Queen’s Choice"You leave my brother's body, now!" Solene shouted just as a neon blue circle appeared underneath her. It quickly expanded and reached the fountain where AC stood.Amon jumped up, and as a result, levitated the boy’s body before the light could touch him. “I think I’ll stay,” he flashed his fangs at her; his fangs that glinted with the blue glow. “I’m rather enjoying this vessel, woman. You, however, should be worried. At this moment, your husband is under Caym’s mercy, bloody and groveling for his life.”This briefly shook Solene. She trusted Henri’s capabilities as king. He was a powerful man. Caym could never rival him, but then again...what if...what if this demon was telling the truth? What if Henri was indeed on the brink of death and she wasn’t there to save him?Should she go to him then? But AC... the boy needed h
Chapter 48 – The Queen’s Demon'No...no... This can't happen!'Solene's thoughts proclaimed as cold dread washed over her. This was the demon that killed her. This was the demon that had been causing her fear and suffering since she was a child. This was the mastermind of her father's killing, and now, he has possessed her adoptive brother.Her sweet, innocent brother.Memories of that day when he killed her flooded inside her mind. It brought her stiff for a moment. Heaven knows how she just wanted to curl up into a ball in the corner of her room and protect herself from the traumatic experience, but no... No! She wasn't a prey anymore. She changed even better than before. She refused for him to win again, and most importantly, she refused to let her brother get harmed.Withdrawing from her mother's embrace, Solene flashed a fake smile and acted as if nothing was happening. She didn't want her mother
Chapter 47 – The Queen’s Warning BellsThe first thing Solene noticed when she regained consciousness was someone's breathing. The calm rise and fall of this person's chest was so comfortable she didn't want to interrupt it, but she had to. She was already awake and her body begged to move.Shifting her head up, she was greeted with this person's smile then."Henri..." she muttered and smiled back. She found herself sitting on his lap and cradled securely by his arms. They were still inside the maze's plaza, roofed with bright stars and shined by the light of the moon."Happy birthday, love. How are you feeling?" he asked and would have wanted to touch her cheek if not for Solene's sudden movement.She jerked back and shouted, "Oh, god, did I just mess up my birthday? The blessing?!"Henri found this comical, but kept his laugh inside. He shook his head in haste then and answered, "No, not at all, lov
