I am still smiling while eating breakfast. Yesterday was such a great day. I never would have thought I would feel so good in the Sea Realm on the day I got chosen.No one is joining me for breakfast today though and the servants all seem super busy. Maya comes into the dining room, so I decide to ask her what's going on.''Maya where is everyone so busy with?''Maya walks towards me and says, ''We are preparing for the Midsummer celebration tomorrow.''I look at her curious, ''Ow what is that?''Maya already walks away again, ''I'm sorry Noelle I have so much to do still. You should ask King Roan; I think he is in his study.''And then she is gone. After breakfast, I go to the study where I see Roan covered over some papers.''Hej,'' I say.He looks up and his gaze softens when he sees that it's me. ''Hi, good morning. Can I do something for you?''''I was just wondering what the midsummer celebration is that everyone

NOELLE'S POVWhen I wake up, I am still not sure if I want to go to the midsummer celebration tonight. I feel a bit depressed and for the first time since my stay, I don't go eat breakfast. I stay in bed twisting and turning until I hear a knock on the door.''Can I come in?'' I hear Maya ask.''Yes, you may.''Maya walks in with a beautiful white dress in her hands.''I have your dress for tonight here, you want me to help you get ready?''I go sit on the edge of the bed and answer, ''I'm not sure if I want to go.''Maya looks at me confused, ''Why not? It's the most fun evening of the year.''I sigh, ''I just don't think I will enjoy looking at King Roan performing the ceremony.''Maya sits next to me, ''Aha well I can't decide for you if you want to go look, but it would be a shame to be stuck in your room all day. The whole city is beautiful tonight so you can still dress up and enjoy taking in the sights.''I stand u
Sacrificed To Her King Difficult decisions
KING ROAN HIS POV,Roan takes a deep sigh after Noelle just stormed out of his office. That conversation definitely didn't go the way he wanted it to go. Somewhere he had hoped that she would be okay with doing the ceremony with him.It wouldn't have been the most romantic way but still, it was an honor to be picked. If only that damn attack didn't happen. His blood begins to boil again by just thinking about it. Hella is really pushing her boundaries, but then again what can he do against someone so powerful as her. And it certainly would not do his people any good.He feels so frustrated because he was making such great progress with Noelle. She was actually starting to like him and if he has sex with someone else it would be a huge setback for them.Maybe even something they wouldn't be able to recover from. On the other hand, he cannot disappoint his people. How can they trust him if he doesn't follow the traditions and sets the example?Hours later he s
Sacrificed To Her King Midsummer part 2
NOELLE'S POV,I walk hand in hand with Roan out of the gardens. He then stops and says, ''I have a surprise for you, so I want you to put this blindfold on.''He walks behind me and puts the blindfold over my eyes. The only thing I see is darkness and I feel his hands go over my shoulders to my waist. His touch makes a shiver go through my body. He then takes my hand again and pulls me forward. We walk for what seems to be about 10 minutes when he holds still.When I open my eyes, we are standing in a cave whose walls are filled with crystals in blue, purple, and green. It almost looks like a galaxy. On the floor, there are lots and lots of candles. It's the most romantic place I have ever seen.I suck in my breath and say, ''O Roan It's beautiful.''I look at him happily and a bit emotional.''I am glad you like it, I wanted to show you how much you mean to me.''''Why didn't you perform the ceremony?'' I ask.Roan takes bot
Sacrificed To Her King Unwanted visit
NOELLE'S POV,I wake up in Roan's arms the next day. He is still fast asleep his chest going up and down calmly. I kiss him softly and he grunts, ''Come here you.''He grabs my leg and puts it over his belly. His hand squeezes my butt while his other hand pulls my head closer to him. He kisses me with lazy slow strokes and his hand travels from my butt to the inside of my legs.I pull away from him and say, ''No Roan I am still a bit sore from yesterday, sorry.''He caresses my face and says, ''Okay no problem I can wait.''Then he plants a kiss on my nose.''You want to get some breakfast?''I jump up and say, ''Yes sounds good.''I honestly don't think I have ever said no to food. We walk back to the castle and just want to go to the dining room when a servant comes running.''My King a letter has arrived,'' he pants while he hands over an envelope to Roan.Roan stands still and opens the letter; I can see his face get furiou
Sacrificed To Her King Unpleasant tour
NOELLE'S POV,While we walk out of the castle, I hear Roan ask, ''Why on earth are we going to do a tour at night?''''Because the night is the time for people to do things they are not allowed to do,'' Gabriel answers.We walk towards the houses and it’s mostly darkness and silence for the first streets we walkthrough. But then we see a light in the distance and hear faint music. I turn around and see a smirk on Gabriel's face, ''Ah finally something interesting to go check out.''He walks past me in the direction of the sound. Roan looks worried and hurries after him. When we get closer it seems to be a group of young people dancing, making music, and practicing magic. They don't notice us at first but when they see Gabriel approach with his aura of darkness everything becomes silent.The little magical sea creatures they were making disappear and all the kids drop to the floor kneeling. I hold my breath scared of what is about to happen. Gabri
Sacrificed To Her King Morning picnic
NOELLE'S POV,Maya wakes me up the next morning, ''The King has requested your presence.''I get up from the bed and ask, ''For what?''Maya walks to my clothing closet and picks a pink flowy dress, ''I don't know Noelle, I just know we must have you there in 20 minutes, so you have to hurry.''She gives me the dress and says, ''Put this on and Julias will meet you at the entrance of the castle.''I put on the dress and make a braid from my hair with some loose ends on the side of my face. I walk to the entrance to meet Julias and smile when I see him, ''Morning mister sex-machine.''Julias laughs, ''Do you always have to remind me of that?''We walk outside together ''Where are we going?'' I ask.''It's a place we call a little bit off the Mortal Realm, I think you will like it.''While we walk my mind goes back to yesterday and I wonder what happened after I went to bed.''Did you and Roan make up?'' I ask carefully.
Sacrificed To Her King Audience
NOELLE'S POV,Maya runs to my room and jumps into the closet with excitement. She holds out a navy-blue fitting dress with an open back.''This will make you look like royalty, perfect to sit next to the King.''I put the dress on, and it fits my body like a glove. I must give it to Maya she has good taste, I do look like a queen in this.''Now let's make the rest of you match with the outfit,'' she says.Maya puts my hair in a tight updo and hands me blue sapphire ear hangers. I hardly recognize myself because I am more of a casual dresser. But Maya looks satisfied, ''Off you go before you will be too late.''She pats me on the back, and I quickly get up. When I walk to the ballroom it's already filled with people. At the end of the ballroom, there is a big throne made of sea pearls. Roan is sitting there in a green suit the same color as his eyes. Next to his throne is a smaller one but similar. When I walk into the room people gasp for a moment and m
Sacrificed To Her King Feeling powerful
NOELLE'S POV,I meet Roan at the stables the next day. He told me to meet him there because we need to go a bit further away today for practicing magic. It is better to take the seahorses instead of shapeshifting. Roan looks a bit tired today.''Are you okay?'' I ask him.''Yes, just tired from yesterday, audiences always take a lot of energy.''He doesn't say much the rest of the ride. We ride for about an hour until we are almost in the Mortal Realm.''What are we doing here?'' I ask.Roan looks at me, ''I think you are ready to try the most advanced water magic I can teach you.''''Ow and what is that?''Roan gets off his seahorse and stands on the bottom of the sea. I can see a beach in the distance.''You are going to command the sea to do whatever you want,'' he says.Normally this would be the time for him to explain and demonstrate how to do the magic. But this time he just stands there and puts his arms above his head.

NOELLE’S POV,“Are you ready?” I ask Gabriel.He puts on his jacket and gives me a kiss, “Yes darling, where are the kids?”“Probably at the school saying goodbye to their friends,” I answer.We walk towards the school together and I feel grateful when I think about the number of people that go there today. In the first years after the war, not many people came to Liberum to learn about magic. But with the years of peace growing so did people’s trust and I am happy to say that Liberum is now known as a place of magic and wonders. More and more children with gifts get born every day and it is great to see diversity spread.At the school, we find our 2 daughters surrounded by friends. Fiona our second child is showing off with balls of fire that she is juggling in the air. With her red hair and icy blue eyes, she is a perfect mix of me and Gabriel. However her feisty attitude she solely got
Sacrificed To Her King Farewell dear friends
NOELLE'S POV,It is a few hours later and bells are ringing through the city to announce the beginning of the funerals for all the lost lives. At first, we wanted to make a burning woodpile for every single body but then we decided it would be more meaningful to send everyone off on small plateaus at the lake that leads to the sea in Dandion. Everyone worked together the last couple of hours to make floating plateaus for all the bodies.I leave the castle to go to the lake with Gabriel. Everywhere I go people look at me with big eyes and they either bow or clap for me. I quickly gained the image of the heroine that saved the world in the hours that have passed. Tales of how I destroyed the army with magic spread and they even sound unbelievable to me while I know that I did it. I walk to the front of the lake where Luna, Holly, Julias, and Nolan are already waiting. The sun is shining and the only thing I hear is
Sacrificed To Her King The end of Hades
NOELLE’S POV,While I am contemplating what to do with Hades, I hear running footsteps. Gabriel, Holly, and Faith come running towards me. Gabriel takes me in his arms and holds me tight, “I am so happy you are okay,” he says relieved.We all look down at Hades who is still fighting to get rid of the glowing roots. “What should we do with him?” I ask the rest.Holly looks at Hades full of hate, “You should give him a vision of something terrible and let him die thinking about that.”Gabriel coldly replies, “I have no problem with that.”Faith sounds determined when she says, “No. We can’t just kill him because he will find a way to come back. To be rid of him for good I must heal him and his evil.”We are all quiet when she walks to him and sits down at his head. For the first time I see fear in Hades his eyes and he screams, “No, No, No, not her! Just kill me."Faith put
Sacrificed To Her King The final battle part 3
NOELLE POV,I feel nothing when I explode the dark humans and demons in the tunnel with purple light. I walk outside the tunnel and notice the inner wall being breached. Purple light radiates off my whole body and I levitate myself above the castle. I must look like a bright purple star and people drop their weapons to look at me. I open up my mind to all creatures of the Under Realm and give them visions that they are being chased by their worst fear. The trick works effectively on the dark humans, and they all start running out of the inner part of the city screaming.My voice echoes through the city when I command my people and the dragons to hide inside buildings. I hold up my arms and call out to all the water in the city to obey me. Water starts to rise up from sewers and the small rivers. It all flows back to me and forms a big wall of water up into the sky. I put my hands forward and let a tsunami carry out the demons, stone giants, and fire creatures with full for
Sacrificed To Her King The final battle part 2
NOELLE’S POV,Gabriel immediately takes charge and gives an encouraging speech to the people. They all seem to realize that it is better to go down fighting for a better world than living in Hell. Everyone has a determined look in their eyes and seems to calmly be waiting for the doors to breach. I decide to take the small moment of peace to go look for Thorn. I find him looking much better and luckily Faith tells me she will be able to repair his wing, but he just needs rest.“I don’t need rest; I need to fight with you mistress!” Thorn says in my mind with a stubborn voice. I walk to him and give him a kiss on his snout, “You have protected me fiercely I couldn’t be prouder. Now I need you to take it easy so we can maybe live to fight another day.”Thorn follows me with grumpy eyes when I walk away but he obeys my command. I walk towards Luna who is talking with Zeus. Zeus seems very riled up making big movements with his ar
Sacrificed To Her King The final battle part 1
NOELLE’S POV,As soon as we fly over the wall it feels like I wound up in a storm. Fire and weapons fly around me. I see light and explosions everywhere and it is immediately complete chaos. I can feel the impact of every blow that lands on Thorns armor. I look around to find Hades but all I can see are demons, dark humans, and creatures of Hell. Hades must have put up some illusion so he and the 4 horsemen can stay out of sight and let the rest of the army do most of the fighting.I bite my lip in frustration because there goes my plan B to take out the most powerful play-ers to end the fight. I let Thorn burn demons and dark humans in the field with dragon fire, but I notice it gets heavier for him by the minute. I don’t know how much damage the armor can hold. Angels are dropping light bombs and fighting flying creatures in the air. I see many of the Under Realm army being blown up but every hole we make seems to be filled up with new soldiers just as
Sacrificed To Her King Unexpected turn of events
NOELLE’S POV,I hear Gabriel call my name somewhere in a distant place of my mind, but I can’t take my eyes off Hades. I stare at him and then I realize what is wrong, Donna is standing next to him, and she is also smiling at me. Shivers go through my body, and I want to scream to Ga-briel that something is wrong, but I can’t speak. The amulet around my neck starts to get warm and levitates me up in the air. It feels like something is trying to pull my insides out of me. I start screaming from pain and I can see purple light flowing out of me into Hades. I keep screaming until the pain stops and the last of the light flows out of me. I fall back into the ground hard and my body shakes from the impact.For some reason no one from Dandion seems to know what is going on because all around me is darkness. The only thing I can see is Hades and Donna smiling at me. Hades makes a tiny flame of purple fire in his hands and starts laughing.&ldquo
Sacrificed To Her King So it begins
NOELLE’S POV,Everyone around me is looking pale and serious as the army comes closer and closer. The grounds seem to shake from all the marching soldiers and the war drums echo in my ears. They stop marching about 50 meters from the wall. The war drums become louder and they all start to shout battle screams in a language I don’t understand. Luna nods at a soldier on the wall and he walks towards a massive horn stationed on the wall. The horn blows a strong and vibrant call through the whole city. I can see everyone take their positions and with de-termined faces, they seem to say that they are ready for whatever comes at them.Then the war drums become silent and the front row of dark humans and soldiers starts run-ning to the wall. I can now see Donna standing a few rows behind Hades. As soon as the sol-diers walk into the magical shield barrier they explode into light. Everyone on the wall cheers because the spells actually worked. I hear running foot
Sacrificed To Her King The quiet before battle
NOELLE’S POV,“Where is she? Where is she?” I hear Gabriel shout. Just hearing his voice already makes my heart explode. Everyone quickly gets out of the way and then I see him. He is running to-wards me but as soon as he sees me, he stops. We just stare at each other for a moment and then he runs towards me and swoops me in his arms. I can’t even begin to describe how good it feels to have his arms around me and smell his scent. He sits down on the floor holding me and I can hear his heart beating really fast. I take his face in my hands and put my fore-head against his, tears of joy travel down my cheeks. I look into his beautiful blue eyes and sigh with happiness. He softly strokes my cheek brushing the tears away and puts his lips on mine. I lean into his embrace and enjoy the sensation of his lips on mine again. I wish this moment would last forever.I look into his eyes again and I hear him say in my head, “I have missed you so muc
