THIRD PERSON'S POVThe girl smiled triumphantly when Lia fainted.“You’re such a fool for royalties,” Arlene said. "You're right they're such a bunch of fools for believing in your act. In fact, what you did to them is just an old trick, how dumb they are falling into that kind of trap. Giving foods to poison their victim? Dude! Who do you think you are? The evil stepmother of Snow White?"Arlene was surprised when suddenly someone spoke. So she turned her head to looked behind her and saw Raven sitting comfortably like a Queen on the window."Y-you! H-how come?" Arlene stammered then looked at where Raven was lying earlier when she saw that Raven had lost her consciousness. She saw there the body of Raven lying on the floor."Oh! That? It's just my clone. You see I'm the kind of person who doubts everything around me. I can easily recognize the kind of people who is just like me. A pretentious and deceiving, but unlike you, I'm much better at it. I already had a suspicion in this pl
Raven moved towards the direction of the girl. She raised her hand and placed it in front of the child. "Eliberare" Raven said then her hand lit up focused on the girl. The girl's finger moved followed by the opening of her eyes. She holds her head. Eventually, the entire royalties gradually awaken."What happened?" Chloe asked in astonishment. The girl explained everything that had happened."Well, I guess you never learned a lesson from me, don't you? You still easily trust other people. How could you fall into her lame tricks huh? Now, look at what you've done. You might never be awakened if I didn't kill that dark witch. You almost got killed just because you let your guards down and because of what?! Just because she looks like a f*cking kid! You must be lucky because everything goes in my plan. Lia, you did a great job for cooperating." Raven said which made the Royalties bowed their head. But I immediately looked up because of the last thing Raven said"What plan?"---LIA'S PO
"What do you care? Mind your own business spoiled brat," said Raven. Those who heard Raven's voice, including grandmother Mildred and Grave, were taken aback. They appeared terrified by Raven's icy voice. Well, I can't blame them. I've never encountered somebody with a voice that is as frigid or colder than Raven's. If I hadn't met Raven, I would never have known that such a voice could possibly exist. "Who are you? I'm sure you're not a royalty because as far as I know there are only 5 royalties in the Magisch academy," said Grave. "Don't you know? There are already 6 of us in the royalties group. She is our sixth new member. Akisha Raven Scott," I introduced Raven and then Raven removed her hood so everyone could see her face. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Raven. They are all awed and enchanted by Raven's beauty. Well, I can't blame them. We also have the same expression when we saw Raven's real face for the first time. The eyes of the men almost formed a heart when they
RAVEN'S POVWhen I went downstairs to eat I saw Grave who was currently eating breakfast. Eventually, everyone went downstairs and we started eating. Grandma Mildred was not here because someone had gone there."I've already decided,"I looked at Grave as he spoke."Huh?" Lia asked in confusion."I will only agree to be an ally with you if you can convince the people here to help you. If you allow them within a day then we will help you. But if you weren't able to convince them you need to leave before the end of the day," said Grave which surprised everyone. I smiled in my mind because what I did worked."Are you kidding? Your town is known for refusing any requests from outsiders nor anything regarding any troubles or wars! I'm sure your people will not allow it," said Chloe. “Of course they won’t,” Grave said. "Then why is that the condition you're asking for? We're not kidding you! This is a serious matter! Thousands of lives are the ones at stake here," Troy said furiously. "Bu
As we walk we passed by an ice cream parlor. I don't know but I suddenly craving sweets right now. I walked inside. I looked for a seat and fortunately, I found an empty table. We walked quickly over there. I sat them both down."Just wait for me here. I'm going to order for us," I said and they nodded. I walked over to the counter and ordered. I also ordered the two. When I got there at our table, I saw another nuisance. Every time I see his face, I get irritated. My blood was boiling just thinking about Ash. I despise seeing his face. I despise all of his actions. Every expression he made irritated me. I despise seeing him breathing. I despise everything about him. Is it just that I'm bitter? Zayv was standing close to Ash, thus I was standing next to Xes. I set the tray down. I didn't even bother looking at him. I pretended I couldn't see him."Here," I said then handed the kids their ice cream."Thanks a lot, Sister Raven," They both thanked me so I just nodded. They started pou
I took the children to the house where we were staying so the others could see them. They were happy to see the twins. They talked for a few hours then the twins went home. After the twins left we talked about Lia being the one to speak in front tomorrow to convince people. He accepted it without hesitation. The next day the grave summoned everyone. We were in a big theater. Where they announce if they have things to say or if there are presenters."Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen, we are here in front of you to ask for your help. A new prophecy came. It is written there that there's an incoming war. So we'd like to ask for your help because you're kinds will be a great help for us to save the world from destruction. Please. We need your help," said Lia then bowed. Then everyone started to make noise."We have nothing to do with your problem! It is your war, not ours!" a woman shouted."Right! We don't want any trouble! We don't want to lose our loved ones again!" another woman shou
It was afternoon when we reached the top of the mountain."Geez! Finally, we already arrived! Grandma Mildred didn't say that this damn mountain was too high," Lia complained and then sat down on the ground due to exhaustion."Yeah! It's tiring! I think I left my legs below that's why I can't feel it anymore," said Chloe. We were just shaking our heads as the two complains. How can they not get tired? They knew that we were climbing a mountain but they still carry a huge bag. Even Troy and Brent were carrying a big bag. Why do they have to bring so many things? Are they going to stay here for good? I looked at Troy and Brent who was already lying on the ground due to exhaustion. We laid the bedding and arranged the food. They really ate quickly maybe because they were tired that's why they're so hungry. After we ate we decided to rest for awhile."Look!" Lia shouted so we looked at what Lia was pointing at."Wow! What a beautiful sunset. Amazing!" Chloe says in awe. After the sunset,
CHLOE'S POVWe are currently at Grave's house today. We are getting ready for our departure tonight. I feel that the others were also upset like me because we weren’t able to convince the people of Zarnia to ally with us. And even if Zach didn't let it show I know he was disappointed because we failed in our mission. Raven is the only one who seems to be unaffected. It's as if it's nothing to her that the people of Zarnia didn't agree to form an alliance with us. Also, we never saw the twins when we woke up yesterday. We just saw that they had left a letter on top of Zach's stuff. It is written there that they have left. Their parents picked them up because they were going home. Raven and I are here in our room, Lia is not here because she is downstairs and watching television. Raven is reading a book as always. She always has a book in her hand wherever she goes, while I'm playing mobile games.F*ck! What the-?I quickly turn around when someone grab my phone from me and saw Lia hold
"No," Akisha answered without hesitation. It hurts a lot but it makes me feel relieved that I'm not hurting her in any way because hurting her is the last thing I wanted to do. I'm hurt but she is more important than my own feelings. She will always be on top of my priority. "That's good. Stay like that. Don't ever love me because like just what you said earlier I will just hurt you and I don't want that to happen," I said. "You don't know what you're saying, Ash. You don't know anything about my feelings and you'll never know because you're a coward and that cowardice of you that will break you in the end, " She said then leave. I looked up and looked at the sky then smiled bitterly. "I don't care being broken if you're the reason. If my cowardice will make you stay on my side even for just a little while then I don't mind being one. My unrequited love for you will be always my sweet litte secret," I said. I remembered again the reason why I chose to hide my feelings. "Zach can
LIA'S POV My eyes widened at what Raven said. I know she hates her biological parents, but I didn't expect her to get to the point where she could kill them. "B-But why? They're still you're parents no matter what happens," I stammered as she looked out the window. There was nothing to see there but trees. "Lia, they have never been or will be parents to me. How can I see them as my parents when they never became a parent to me? You can only say that someone is a parent when they have fulfilled the responsibility of a real parent. A real parent takes care of their child and loves and protects them. They are the only ones who gave birth to me and raised me, but that does not mean that they are my parents. I consider those who adopted me to be my parents more than they do. Because, despite the fact that I am not their biological child, they raised me, dressed me, and fed me. Because I owe them so much, I tried to be a good daughter to them. However, everything has a limit. There is a
"We know we've sinned against her and neglected her, but we don't have a choice. When we found out I was pregnant even though I hadn't yet had my baby, the powers above had no effect. We thought they would surely kill our child, so we decided to Calix to keep my pregnancy a secret until the ritual was done. But someone found out then. So when Raven disappeared, we took advantage of the chance to eliminate everyone who knew Raven's identity. We couldn't find her since our enemies would undoubtedly pursue us. So we chose not to be with her or even see her for her safety. That decision was difficult for us as well, but there was nothing we could do. That was the only way to save her and the entire elemental kingdom because if they trace our daughter, not only will my family be destroyed, but so will the entire elemental kingdom," Queen Victoria cried. "You may have saved her from the hands of those higher ups, but your decision didn't make her safe either. Didn't it ever cross your mind
After the doctor get my blood sample I immediately leave to return to the room where Raven is staying. I approached Raven and held her hand tightly. I felt someone caress my back and I saw Lia there. She smiled but it did not reach her eyes. I know she wants to say that everything will be fine but she knows to herself that she's not sure either. I hope there is someone who will somehow match with us who will match Raven's blood. I don't want to lose her. I know what is happening is in her favor because god knows how she wanted to disappear for a long time but we can't just let her go. If it's selfish, we don't care. We will never let her go. We will never give up on her. "Forgive me. It's my fault why she's like that now," I looked at Queen Victoria when she suddenly speak. "It's not your fault, your majesty. It was Raven's decision to save you and we respect that," I said. "She's lucky to have you royalties because you're always there for her," said Queen Victoria to which I shook
Chloe's PovWhen we heard Zach's scream we hurried towards Raven, and he ran towards her when he noticed Raven's arm was bleeding. "Sh*t! Are you okay? You've already lost too much blood! We need to bring you to the hospital!" Zach said one after the other, and he's pale and seems to be losing blood even more than Raven though Raven's the one who is wounded. Zach was about to hold Raven's arm when the latter swatted his hands away. "You don't need to. I handle it alone," Raven said then tore the bottom of her dress and tied it to her bleeding arm to stop the bleeding. "What happened?" I asked worriedly as we approached them."Don't worry, I'm fine; there's no need to make a big fuss out of a mere scratch," Raven stated, who seems not bothered by her wound."Scratch?! For Pete's sake Akisha, you're bleeding! I'm taking you to the hospital whether you like it or not!" Zach yelled with rage, his neck turning red with rage. Raven stopped him as he was going to lift her. "Stop! Don't yo
We have now entered the Elemental kingdom. The academy is located in the center of the five palaces. The Elemental Kingdom, Fire Kingdom, Wind Kingdom, and Earth Kingdom were the five kingdoms, with the Elemental Kingdom being the most powerful. That's why we got to the Elemental Kingdom so swiftly. Instead of a horse, there was a pegasus running as we exited the carriage. In this world, nothing is normal. Everything is odd. We immediately recognized the Queen and King. They greeted us. We approached them and bowed. They both nodded. "I congratulate you on your success Royalties. We are very grateful for what you have done. It is a great help for all of us," said Queen Victoria. "That's nothing, Queen Victoria. It was for everyone's sake," I answered Queen Victoria which made her looked at me with a big smile."Very smart young and kind. If only our child was here, I would have arrange you with her, you are almost the same age. You are perfect to be my daughter's husband plus your o
Later, I went outside and returned to my seat.Grave inquired, "Where have you been?" "Somewhere," I replied quickly. "Tsk. Is there a place called somewhere?" he remarked cynically. "There is. Don't worry. I'll take you with me sometimes so you know where," I retorted, then stared at him blankly. "Whatever," he muttered, sneering at me. Soon after, Lia, Chloe, and Akisha appeared. We scowled once more when we saw what they were wearing. It's not as inviting or exposed as she was before, but it's still too short for us. We both shook our heads. I can't see Lia's stomach anymore, but her leather skirt is too short, even though she's wearing a coat. Chloe is wearing in slacks and a very thin, sleeveless shirt. Even if Akisha is still wearing a blazer, I will not allow her to walk out in such outfit. They're almost as short as Lia's dress. Tsk. I don't want anyone seeing her legs. Because Akisha is mine, I have the right not to share her body with anyone."Don't you have any other c
"Impatient as always, Zachary. Well, I called you because your majesty King Calix and Queen Victoria want you to come to their palace. They want to thank you for succeeding in your mission. They will prepare a small party for you. You really helped a lot. Right now, many of our alliances are retreating because of fear, so we really need a lot of allies as much as possible to win the coming war," said headmistress. "I'm excited to go to the palace! It's been a few years since I entered the Elemental Kingdom!" I said excitedly."We're going tomorrow. We'll go ahead and rest now," Zach remarked, making the headmistress to nod. "Sure, just take your time. Your majesties are not rushing you," the headmistress replied. "Thank you for the information, headmistressheadmistress. We'll notify Raven," Chloe stated. "Sure," the headmistress answered, smiling. As we exited the headmistress's office, I instantly turned to Chloe, who was also looking at me. "Kyaaaahhhh!" We screamed and clapped
LIA'S POV We immediately landed when we got to the opposite gate of the academy. We got off the Pegasus we were riding. Troy and Chloe made us laugh when we saw Brent and Ash who were both in a bad mood. Raven sighed and shook her head. When we entered the academy we saw the twins. Klein quickly ran to Raven. "Baby! I miss you!" Klein shouted and hugged Raven as soon as he got close to her. "Get off of her" the three said at the same time. Hey. It's an extra headache. Klein looked behind us and saw the three. Brent, Zach and Grave. That's right, Grave is with us. The right thing to say persisted. That's why Brent and Zach are frowning. Klein raised his eyebrows when he saw Grave. "And who is the lesbian with you?" Klein asked, although we knew he was making fun of Grave. This person, like Brent, can be quite annoying. We thought he was serious at first, but he wasn't. Grave appears playful but is often serious. Looks can be very deceiving. "Lesbian? Is there any lesbian among us?
