Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 43. Loaded Question
As such, Emperor Demarion Dracul was prepared with the facts. He strolled over to a small table in the room they were all in, took up a few parchments of paper, and gestured it toward Aakifahlynn, his eyes never leaving her.'Why was Jairus so eager to find me?' This was a surprise to Aakifahlynn. She was in her thoughts.Aakifahlynn absentmindedly walked towards him, her blue eyes never leaving his. She now focused on him and looked for any sight of dishonesty, but she found none. Nonetheless, what she knew about the Ayacqueans outweighed her judgment.Too much was going on, so she must proceed cautiously and be suspicious, keeping her guard up until the end, and victory was hers or proven otherwise.Taking the small stack from Emperor Dracul's hand, Aakifahlynn's eyes widened at what she held: a sketch of her, offering five thousand gold coins, which is five hundred thousand dollars, to anyone with information about her, leading to her safe return.Her already widened eyes widened

"Oh, this is a surprise. I was expecting somewhere less..." Aakifahlynn gestured to her surroundings."Lavish." Emperor Dracul finished for her, his hands behind his back."Yes, I mean, I held out hope you were not taking me to the dungeons, but this?" Her hands rose and fell back onto her lap as she gestured to the room and environment.At her words, The Emperor hid his look as if she'd slapped him in his face. He would never dream of letting her stay in the dungeons.Emperor Demarion Dracul knew he had to tread carefully with how much he disclosed and how soon. And he would continue to hold out despite his advisor and second-in-command's warnings...But the bottom line is he would never let her stay anywhere less than his palace. "The Emperor had spoken. You and your family are safe and welcome here as long as needed."Aakifahlynn blinked, then blinked again, "I must thank the Emperor. When can I meet him?" Demarion was taken aback for a moment. She was always so relieved at hearing

"Just say my name if you need me." Emperor Dracul added and disappeared from the room in a flash before Aakifahlynn could digest what he said.'Say his name? Was that all she had to do to get his attention? She would surely put it to the test, but right now, Aakifahlynn needed a moment with her parents.As they chatted the night away, Aakifahlynn allowed her mind to relax and be at ease in the presence of her parents. Her entire body was cozy, for that matter.She shut out the questions she still had about the Emperor that were scorching her mind for now...Aakifahlynn had walked across the room and finally gotten a look at her disheveled self, and she was an eye sore. Her hair was a frazzled mess, wrapped haphazardly in a messy one. Dark circles were prominent around her eyes, as if she were sleep-deprived.Even though she'd been out for two days. Her lips were so dry that they looked cracked. Her cheeks seemed somewhat sunken slightly. 'Was that caused by her rejecting her mate and

Aakifahlynn felt like the sooner she learned about where was off-limits, the sooner she could visit the Emperor herself to relay her gratitude and pursuits.She flipped the covers off her, determination guiding her. She'd slept in the room she woke up in yesterday. Demarion told her it was now her room. After her delightful time with her parents, Aakifahlynn had Demarion escort her back to her room.Now, she was confident she could find her way to and from her room and her parents.Aakifahlynn strolled to the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She soon realized that not only did she feel like herself, but Aakifahlynn looked like herself.Her cheeks weren't sunken, the dark circles were gone, and that hint of color was back. Aakifahlynn sighed in contentment and proceeded to get ready for her day.She brushed her teeth and showered. Aakifahlynn also felt like she did not need a messenger as she thought more of it, though she wondered if she should respect the Emperor's wish

Honestly, Aakifahlynn would like to believe that this was the opportunity she'd been hoping for, that they intended to storm the castle gates.'Who else was planning a war? Or had the means to get them into somewhere?' Aakifahlynn wonders as she recalls the hushed murmurs.Surely, they were talking about her unless someone here was planning their own war that they needed to assist with. Nevertheless, these were the Ayacqueans, and they were schemers at every turn.One never knows when they are sincere.Or worse yet, are they ever sincere in anything they do? Or is everything always calculated? As far as Aakifahlynn was concerned, this could be another elaborate scheme.She heard about their elaborate schemes and trickery, really going the distance in their folly, creating that illusion they want you to see and believe.Anyways, if she could not get to the Emperor directly and had to settle for discussing terms with Demarion, then she would, and only till then would she rest easy.Only

Aakifahlynn found her way down the stairs as she believed there was nothing to see upstairs except for more bedrooms and maybe studies.As her feet hit the last step, she had her first encounter. A gorgeous black-haired beauty with beautiful hazel-gray eyes opened the front door a few meters to Aakifahlynn's left and strolled in.Closing the door behind her, she ruffled her long, luscious, wavy, black hair, then ran her fingers through it and rattled it again, "Oh, Hi, I did not see you there. How are you? Did you sleep well?"The perfect woman spoke to Aakifahlynn so friendly that it would have been infectious if Aakifahlynn was not on a mission.Instead, Aakifahlynn narrowed her eyes at her, her features screaming, 'Lady, we aren't friends, and I do not know who you are. Keep your scheming smile at bay.'Aakifahlynn knew she was in the Ayacquean's territory and should act accordingly and try to be nice, but she was too suspicious of everything. And this perfection's behavior was jus

Aakifahlynn scoffed after a few seconds of no response from Demarion, and she did not take his silence lightly, "Come on... There is no way... so I would just sum it up as the Emperor is not ready to reveal his hand, and in that case, I would like to make some things clear and set some ground rules and get an agreement going." "I hate not knowing..." She said that last part more to herself, but Demarion heard her. Demarion hid his amused look. Oh, Aakifahlynn was so cute when she was so clueless. All she'd heard were rumors they had been spreading themselves, but he was not worried. One trip outdoors into his Gazini Empire, and she would see for herself how wrong her knowledge of them was. Emperor Demarion Dracul knew with Aakifahlynn. When it came to them, seeing is believing, even though he could admit that even after witnessing, she was still skeptical. Goddess, she always gave him a hard time letting those walls down. But he was a very patient man. Looking into her gorgeous,

The Elite Stygian Market was different from what Aakifahlynn expected. It was utterly dissimilar from the one back home, that's for sure. This one was not a dark and scary alley. Though the one back home was not entirely dark, only the further on you got, the creepier things were. But this market was totally different. It was high-class throughout, not just at the beginning, and the farther in, the creepier it got. No. This is top-class. It is clean and holds a mixture of scents that are not stiflingly horrid. There are no hints of the stench of sewer and sweat, but there are signs of scrumptious sweet cakes and expensive fabric. This entire market is pristine. Beautiful stalls, pleasant people, oh, how the people were delightful and welcoming to her. Someone considered an outsider, not only an outsider but an enemy. Aakifahlynn assumes that because they saw the Ayacqueans as enemies because of their defiance of the throne, they also considered her an enemy. But no, she was

A week later, Jairus's mind was a battlefield of questions and uncertainties, each one adding to the mounting tension...His Kingdom's council leadership was falling apart, and there was no Aakifahlynn to lean on. No Aakifahlynn was present to bring reason and order amongst them.But Goddess darn it, how dare she reject him? She was HIS to use until he saw fit to get rid of her. Her rejection was a blow to his power and control, stirring up a mix of anger and bruised ego.She should be here until all their plans, including protecting the Kingdom and giving birth to his twins, have materialized. Aakifahlynn's unique abilities and leadership were crucial for the successful execution of these plans. Did she discover that he just needed her for her Magic to continue protecting the Kingdom while Taisiya saved her energy as she carriedhis twins? Did she discover that was the only reason he had her around for now? Taisiya needed her strength for his kids; that was enough on her plate.
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 60. A Black Mist
Aakifahlynn stirred awake, taking a few seconds to get caught up. She was resting but had no recollection of getting to her room, let alone her bed.She surmised Demarion, the disgraced Emperor who had brought her here after the hospital. Gosh, the hospital, Aakifahlynn, hoped everyone had fully recovered.She stretched and sat up, wondering what time of day it was and how long she had been out. Her pretty blue eyes slid to the large clock on the wall.Long and short, hands were on twelve, and by the light shining in from outside, Aakifahlynn knew it had to be 12 noon.She sighed. A day had passed, and she knew it. Aakifahlynn recalled it being midday when she was at the hospital. Nevertheless, she felt good but comprehended she needed to run.Thinking of her next move, sadness, and loneliness engulfed Aakifahlynn, and she took a moment to wallow, falling back on the pillow.It dawned heavily on her that she was entirely ALONE with no one to trust.And who she could trust, she wanted
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 59. Patient Zero
First, on the agenda, Aakifahlynn visited Pauline, and Pauline accompanied her to the hospital, which was almost overflowing with people suffering from the same ailment as Pauline's daughter.This hospital was more significant than the one in the Kingdom of Tamman. Aakifahlynn walked side by side with Pauline as she observed her surroundings.It was her first time here, and she still compared the Empire to the Kingdom. Little did Aakifahlynn know that this was not her first time here. Maybe in this timeline, it is her first time…The hospital smelt of bleach and some other types of robust chemicals. Aakifahlynn saw medical equipment and instruments in the Gazini Empire that they did not have in the Kingdom of Tamman either, and here she thought the crown had the latest and best in everything.It is a vast building with three floors, beds running the length of opposite walls, and no privacy.The second floor housed rooms where they perform surgeries; the third was for children.Upon e
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 58. The Capital
Suddenly, the clouds grumbled in anger. Darkness filled the atmosphere. Demarion had swooped in, ripped the Duke away from Aakifahlynn, and pelted him across the lot. He then disappeared and reappeared in front of the Duke across the lot, picked him up, and held him steady. At the same time, he shoved his sharp, elongated, claw-like hands into the Duke's chest and tore out his heart.Demarion moved with the speed of lightning; he did all this before Aakifahlynn could utter her next line of seduction or make another sound of pleasure or before the Duke could even process what was happening.Demarion squeezed the Duke's heart and crushed it; only tissue and clumps of clot-like blood caressed the dirt floor.Demarion was not about to watch her flirt and seduce this man. Goddess, how far was she willing to go? Goddess, damn it, he could not bare the thought.So yes, he did it. He killed him for touching his Empress.Aakifahlynn was shocked and then looked disappointed only because she wa
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 57. Coolness of the Night
Aakifahlynn ordered a drink and looked around. The place was at its usual pace. A few businessmen were here and there, and a few couples were having dinner. A band playing music to the left. The waiter returned with her scotch on the rocks. Aakifahlynn thanked him and continued her assessment of the Tavern. The decor was one of class and an ambiance of romance.An establishment like this is frequented by those considered high society citizens. Aakifahlynn soon realized the waiter was still staring at her, "Is something the matter?"Now that he had been caught staring, the now uncomfortable waiter said very awkwardly, "Please, forgive me, my lady...it's just that you are so beautiful."She was dressed as Adeline, but this was not the shy and meek Adeline. This Adeline also allowed herself to take a page from Taisiya's looks for the occasion of seduction before revenge or murder. Call it what you want, she thought with a devilish smile.And thanks to Roslyn's teachings, Aakifahlynn was
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 56. They Know
"And don't you worry about me. I will be fine." Aakifahlynn paused momentarily and added, "I would like to visit the hospital," Aakifahlynn then regarded Pauline.She needed a guide to the hospital. "Can you take me there tomorrow?" Aakifahlynn asked politely, not wasting another minute.Pauline instantly let go of her daughter, dropped to her knees, bowed, and declared, "Anything you need, Queen Luna."Her Empress just saved her daughter's life on top of everything else. Of course, she would accompany her to the hospital.Pauline had told Aakifahlynn that Paula was not the only case, and Aakifahlynn decided then and there to find a way to help the Empire—only in an attempt to even the offer.Aakifahlynn was no fool; she knew what was promised was too good to be true, primarily because of what they wanted in return.Although she had accepted, that did not mean she was happy about feeling indebted to these people."Thank you, Pauline. Please keep this between us. I shall see you on the
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 55. Something was amiss
Aakifahlynn took the time to go through her list and grab each item off of it. Soon, she handed the sweet old lady named Ann a few gold coins for her purchases and then left.And lovely Ann could not stop giving her thanks. Before returning, Aakifahlynn wanted to pop into the bakery for some sweet cakes.She enjoyed them to the moon and back.On entering, she saw the lovely young woman she had met the last time. However, she looked distressed and a bit gloomy."Good evening, Dear." Aakifahlynn greeted gently and quickly glanced around for the sweet, active, and friendly redhead little girl seen at the bakery. She had warmed Aakifahkynn's heart on her last visit, but when Aakifahkynn did not see the sweet girl, Aakifahlynn's chest tightened.Pauline answered, but her voice was hoarse, almost a whisper: "Good evening, Queen Luna…how may I assist you this afternoon?""Pauline, where is Paula?" Aakifahlynn's intuitions told her something was off about this woman today.She did not know
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 54. Three days later
While Aakifahlynn settled in comfortably, her mind trickled to Jairus, and she debated again: Why did this happen? Why did he treat her this badly when he was made to love her? What did she do that deserved this? How could someone be so cruel and evil? Wicked even.Aakifahlynn knew she was not perfect. She'd done things in the name of protecting her Kingdom, but what happened to her in her past timeline was unjust.Aakifahlynn remembered begging Jairus to let her leave as she was unfit and unworthy of leading; she could no longer be helpful in the way she wanted to be and would only bring him down with her."The people need a strong leader, my love," she had urged. "You can't afford to have them see you as the weak Alpha King." Aakifahlynn pleaded."My name is feared in all the lands." Jairus roared."No one would dare challenge me." he pointed at himself, pushing into his chest, his features a dangerous snare."And what I say goes, I make the laws, and this, Aakifahlynn, is not happe
Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain 53. His Allures
"So, sweetheart, what are you planning on doing?" Aakifahlynn's mother, Arwen, broke the awkward and nervous laughter between the three. As far as Aakifahlynn's parents were concerned, they were already living a retired life, their finances were pretty good, and they could support their daughter until she got on her feet again. Meanwhile, Demarion simply stared daggers at Aakifahlynn. He would provide for her; she would want for nothing, but how could he tell her that right now? He flipped his fork between his fingers a few times as he contemplated. He'd already decided to allow this. Besides, half the Stygian is hers.Every time this happens, it is a new idea because she always starts off with a plan that includes a means of survival.These stalls were always left in the care of large, generational families, who would survive the test of time, honoring the contract she would set with strict instructions to be passed down from generation to generation.And if offered up to be run b
