2024-10-29 19:42:56As some knights patrolled the area, Aesthelia hid among the bookshelves. She was confused because they hadn't encountered any knights earlier. The hallway was empty.
"What business do you have here?" Elliot, he said, with an authoritative voice.
Elliot's eyes side-glance secretly to where Gior and Aesthelia are hiding right now.
Gior stayed quiet beside Aesthelia. He is not moving an inch, so they will not make any noises, but if something happens that is out of their control, he will transform right away, even if it is forbidden to do so inside the empire. They don't know what trouble may come.
"We have just received an order from the crown prince," the knight said casually, as if it was an absolute order from above, to which even another prince couldn't object.
"The west wing isn't under his rule, isn't it?" Elliot whispered angrily. He does not like it, emphasizing the word "crown prince." The knight was either oblivious

After Aesthelia and Elliot's conversation, together with Gior, they secretly went out without anyone in the empire knowing, except for Elliot, who watched from afar. Aesthelia and Gior almost reached their destination. It's the place where the warriors and merchants stayed. The plan was to stay a day or two until the supplies were completed. The two finally arrived at the inn. It's a place where travelers and the like spend the night. It has rental rooms. The moment they opened the door into a huge connected room, the warriors, who looked worried, sighed after seeing the two, unharmed and together. "Where have you been?" The head merchant stated Asthelia's eyes roamed around, and she was greeted by their worried gazes. The two of them have gone for a couple of hours. Of course, that's enough time for those knights to overthink things. "An imperial subject interrupted us when we strolled down the market," Aesthelia said firm

After a moment of convincing and explaining things to Gior, though, Aesthelia wasn't sure if the information she knew was exactly what this world possessed. There are two types of magic stones. The first one would be the most common, the human-made magic stones. They're the stones that are blessed by the divine power for protection purposes. The priest and priestess were the ones who distributed them because they were the only ones who possessed and were gifted with divine powers, and the empire, of course, permitted the spread of the said divine-blessed magical stone. The Empire and the Cathedral have been working together for decades, since the first emperor founded the empire. The Cathedral has become its support. The second type of magic stone is rare. It was a natural-made magic stone. It happens when there's a natural mana tropical storm, when mana has been gathered in one place. The best way to contain it is with a stone. It's

The sound of water dripping from the water pipe outside seems to resound through the four corners of the store.Aesthelia silently sat as she had become unaware of her surroundings. The regret she has right now is that she should've finished the novel before sleeping. She ruffled her hair and sighed heavily."Stop," Gior mumbled as he reached out his hand to stop Aesthelia's doing. There was no point in doing that; it might only cause her a headache, and he's worried.The goblins were oblivious to the scheme the vampire involved them in. They did not want something like this to happen just because they wanted to live among humans. They do not know how they are going to make up for it."There's no time to waste. We have to get the supplies and travel back to the pack, "Aesthelia announced as she stood up abruptly, taking everyone by surprise."It's getting dark," Gior said."We must travel the moment the sun rises agai

Aesthelia couldn't keep up with the speed. It seems that the two fighters were going at it full force. "Not going to lie." a warrior said, gaping as he watched the fight and added, "The Alpha's amazing," Aesthelia stared harder and she saw how they exchanged attacks. Gior didn't let his guard down as he bit him, which made the vampire whimper in pain. The vampire's right arm was bleeding and nearly ripped off, but he managed to get away before it happened. It's true that Gior's skills are far from average. Aesthelia and Gior have been fighting for the title of strongest warrior for years. Aesthelia can't help but worry. The vampire gives off a different aura than the other scentless creatures. Aesthelia gulped when Russell looked her way and smirked, as if he had something up his sleeves. That's when Aesthelia noticed the silver. Aesthelia and the other wolves gasped when they saw Gior go flying to a large tree and ne

Aesthelia was taken aback by how murderous Merideth looked at her right now. Aesthelia turned around when she heard Gior hiss in pain. He was on the ground, but his eyes were focused on his beloved childhood friend, whom he had protected all this time.When Aesthelia saw the expression Gior had, an unknown throb of pain occurred in her heart. She wonders why.The warriors are also taking care of the newly turned vampires by fighting them off and distracting them. Growls, grunts, and the sound of harsh breathing can be heard from the background. Aesthelia almost closed her eyes when she heard a splash of blood. That only meant someone had already drawn blood."What are you doing outside the shield, Merideth?" Aesthelia asked as she took a step closer to Merideth."We clearly told everyone not to let anyone get out of their sight," Aesthelia added. Even if Merideth were bound to leave at this time, the other authorized people should stop those who are attem

Once everything has settled down, watch as the moon overtakes the night sky. The sounds of several owls from a distance can be heard. It's quiet since the warriors and merchants are sleeping at this time. Aesthelia watches how Gior's chest comes up and down. She waited for Gior's breathing to return to normal. He experienced a near-death situation, which he fortunately overcame. It seems the deity really does adore him this much. Aesthelia sighed, remembering some of Custos's words about how the world works. It took hours before Gior's health finally became stable. Aesthelia stood up and went in search of the illegitimate prince, who was in a hurry to say something. "Prince Elliot," Aesthelia called out to the prince and nodded, silently telling him it was time to talk. Aesthelia and Elliot decided to take a walk outside. Of course, she is still on alert if a vampire comes back. "What is it, Prince Elliot? What made you

The sound of grass swaying in the wind rang through the silent open-field in the middle of an isolated place. Aesthelia can't help but let her eyes roam through the forest that is located on the side. It is a forest that becomes a barrier; those tall trees hide the pack's borderline. After a few seconds of staring, Aesthelia raised her hands to guide the horse where she wanted to go. Aesthelia has been travelling with a horse since she refused to transform into her wolf. Well, it is a good thing she learned horseback riding when she was young. It's become useful now because Aesthelia didn't know if humans here were open beings with beasts or not. It might cause a ruckus and disturbance. That very thought was vague. There was an agreement, but Aesthelia thinks humans think worsely of wolves, just like Rasc's servants, even though they made an exception for Aesthelia. It can't be helped. Aesthelia planned to sneak inside the empire. She didn't let
Pages Chapter 49: Empire's Downfall
When the tension between the two powerful rulers merges, the silence becomes the loudest noise. No one can interfere with their murderous staring contest. Well, no one would actually dare come between them. It's no doubt. Aesthelia kept her head bowed down as she put glasses of wine quietly on the table. It's a breath of relief that she can manage to contain her emotions all to herself. She can at least distinguish her emotions right now. Only the breathing can be heard, followed by nervous gulps and the sound of wine as someone kept twirling the wine glass. Aesthelia dozed off when she recalled how the emperor had protected her earlier. It's surprising given that they've only just met, and as a complete stranger at that. She wasn't so sure about calling it "protecting." "You hit a nerve just now, your majesty." The vampire king's eyes glowed crimson red as his fangs extended, threateningly wanting to attack, but unfortunately, he held back the will. His ego has been hurt pretty

They stood there in silence. No one dared utter a single word. They were waiting for someone to break that silence.Gior was staring at Aesthelia. It had been so long since the last time he stared at that beauty. He lasted a year and it killed him, but now, he could feel himself tearing up in happiness as he once again met her and was reminded by her face. He did not forget her. Gior smiled as he laid his arms wide open, waiting for a warm hug from Aesthelia. Even though they were two Aesthelia, he recognized the one that he had come to love and the one who transmigrated into their world.Aesthelia, who got teary-eyed, rushed over to Gior and asked, "How did you get here?""Love finds its way," Gior answered vaguely as he kissed her forehead.The one thing he always imagined he must have done, he always regretted how he didn't cherish her."I thought that the Alpha wouldn't change," The other Aesthelia stepped up with her arms crossed, and when she noticed that all eyes were on her, s

Gior felt himself falling from an average height, which caused the pain he was experiencing to lessen. The portal appears to be hanging in the air. The shivering cold air seized control of the burns he was already feeling.Gior attempted to close his eyes in order to concentrate on shifting, but to no avail. He found it impossible. Gior plummeted to the ground face first in a couple of seconds before he can even even think of a solution.He quickly raised to his feet and massaged his nose. The mud on his clothing was brushed off. His wandering gaze discovered him encircled by tall trees.After him, there was another deafening thud.Gior asked with wide eyes, "What were you guys thinking by following me here? Do you guys know how dangerous it is?"Without really caring about the enraged Alpha, Flo assisted Marie in getting to her feet and checked on his mate. He turned his head to face the Alpha after making sure Marie was in fact fine and had no scratches."Let me ask you, Alpha, what

The relationship between humanity and supernatural creatures has greatly improved. Each person has a certain task to complete. Despite the setbacks, they are driven to continue living. Despite the fact that the werewolves had nothing to do with the humans, the war was won. They offered to assist in relocating the bodies and properly buried them. countless unforeseen tragedies.Time flew by.And after a year, the empires that were on the edge of collapsing from the vampires' attempts at oppression are now little by little recovering from the casualties caused by the war.

Pages Chapter 56: The Curse
The strategic defense of Aesthelia is like an iron wall. No vampires could pass through, and by the time Aesthelia decided to go—it started crumbling a little. The absence of a strategist made the team hesitate."Keep pushing, warriors!" Flo shouted, which made everyone snap out of it. He took over coaching immediately.Flo quickly stood on his feet as he transformed back. As a beta, it is his obligation to lead. "Do as he says," Marie commanded her fellow-humans.Marie grabbed the sword. She was about to go, to protect her lady, but Flo intervened and said, "Marie, snap out of it." When Flo touches Marie, a flash of spark flows through him. He knew at that moment that Marie was his mate. The sudden realization took him seconds as his eyes drowned deep in his own mate's eyes. He momentarily forgot the situation they were in— not until Marie struggled to get out of his touch."Aesthelia has the blessing." She can defeat him. " Flo stated, and he added, "You are much needed here to k
Pages Chapter 55: Aesthelia as the Strategist
Aesthelia collided with Gior's arm. That is when they clearly felt the spark when their skin touched. It only means they are fated to be mates—mates with an uncontrollable bond. Gior snapped out of his anger. He became relaxed under Aesthelia's touch, and he almost lost all of his reasoning earlier when he saw Aesthelia's being injured and just mindlessly attacked.This is the first time Aesthelia realized it. Now that explains why Aesthelia shows that behavior. The hostility against Merideth, how her wolf disappeared, and why her emotions are affected by anything that involves Gior."We are mates?" Aesthelia asked in confusion. However, Aesthelia already knew the answer. "Yes." Gior said, straight-staring at her eyes. His eyes became soft; the relentlessness that he felt vanished in an instant."What a sweet reunion that you have forgotten about me," The vampire king muttered amused while clapping his hands, trying to gain everyone's attention. "How can I forget about you?""When

The more her breath hitches, the more her heart beats. Lurking inside the enemy's dangerous teritorry can be nerve-wrecking and terrifying. Aesthelia felt like she will bath on her own nervous sweat. She wanted to ignore how her knee trembled for a second when the vampire stared down at her earlier—she felt as if the vampire could have snapped her neck in a minute. The eyes of predators who carefully observe their prey's movements are far scarier than any horror films she has seen."The difference is—I am one of the people who's on the death list now." Aesthelia was lost in her own thoughts. She voiced them out with a sadder-chuckling tone. At least Merideth is with them right now. They can get closer and interrogate the vampire to plan the escape. Aesthelia can relax, but she remains vigilant—a traitor who has betrayed you once can betray you again.For some time, Elliot managed to walk little by little until he could perfectly walk without limping. Aesthelia's worry is reduced. "

There's no window, no light, and nowhere to escape to, except the tunnel. There is an escape route, but there is a high chance that they will end up in the ocean and drown.Aesthelia stayed hidden unbelievably for at least two days, waiting for Elliot's recovery along with Custos', who had exhausted his mana to its limit.Goodthing. The vampires didn't seem to eagerly check the underground, or else they'd die without much fight. The smell of dried blood of deceased prisoners masked Aesthelia's and Elliot's scents. The awful and wrenching smell helped them, even though it made Aesthelia vomit. It seems the situation made her overcome her fear of blood. She doesn't have much choice at this point."AGH…" Elliot groaned in pain as he was slowly gaining consciousness.Aesthelia swiftly goes to Elliot's side to assist him. "W-where am I?" Elliot asked worriedly. He's unable to get up and his visions are out. "We're hiding in the underground dungeon." "We are safe for now, but I don't kno
Pages Chapter 52: Preparation
The gathering took place at the pack house. They are getting ready by informing every warrior wolf, even the wolves who are not yet trained, want to participate and protect their pack. The quiet and serious vibe going around was interrupted when human servants came running and barging. She's demanding for an answer."What do you mean, Aesthelia didn't come back with you?" Marie questioned the wolf who happened to go with the mission. She grabbed him by the clothes near his collar. Her strength seemed to match the wolf's. Marie just got the news of their arrival and came running as if her life was at stake. Aesthelia was like Marie's family. She lived most of her life taking care of Aesthelia and dedicated her life to Aesthelia's safety."Third-in-Command Aesthelia escorted us as soon as we were within the shield. She dashed off and disappeared. " A warrior wolf said patiently with more details. The disruption caught almost everyone's attention, including the higher wolves and the a
Pages Chapter 51: Alliance
The sense of impending doom had vanished. Gior found himself panting as he attempted to awaken from a deep slumber. His wounds still cause him some discomfort.Unlike the grass and rough stone where he had fallen while unwittingly fighting a vampire, the bed where he was presently felt soft.The memories of the recent fight came crashing into him as soon as he recalled the bloodsucking creature—one more deep breath as he sat up with sweat flowing all over his body. "W-where am I?" He asked in a hoarse voice. His throat became dry, rendering him unable to speak.His eyes scanned the familiar ceiling and everything. It looks like they've gone back to the pack, at least that's what he thought. It means that they successfully completed the mission, which solved the pack storage shortage. "The Alpha is awake!" As soon as she saw Gior move, the salutary announced. A couple of howls soon followed, and they can be heard outside of the place. The werewolves who were terrified and heartbroken
