"Look at that, she is here again." The soldiers training fiercely looked up and saw the petite visage of a female glancing at them from above. She was quiet and cold so much so that there were very few that could directly gaze into those clear blue eyes.When General Isaiah raised his head the only thing he could see were eyes searching for someone amongst the crowd, black pools met azure and a gentle nod of acknowledgement was offered by the female. Everyday she would come here and do such things and then disappear without a word.She was really strange but then she was so enchanting that no one had the courage to question her. Isaiah's father was the second duke of Ardos and since Marianna had appeared they had wished to extend marriage talks with the Empress regarding her sister and their son.It was just that Empress Layla did not entertain any such thoughts and the Duke, Isaiah's father assumed that Empress was looking for a marriage with another country's monarch for her sister
Imperial entourage consisting of the Emperor and Empress along with young Duke Everdale, Princess Marianna, and General Helios embarked on the journey to Avesta.Layla and Icarus were going to share a carriage and the emperor of Ardos was extremely pleased with the arrangements, he had asked maids to wrap up cheese sandwiches and different kinds of pastries along with some tea so that throughout the journey he could enjoy watching Layla as she stuffed her face like a chipmunk.It was just that, maybe the chef was so touched when his majesty made a personal request that the edibles delivered were so much that it could not be carried by a single servant thus a train of people followed the emperor.When they saw Icarus smile they smiled too for this eccentric person for once was pleased.The carriage doors opened and the smile on Icarus's face soon turned to a scowl when he saw a wide-eyed Helios looking at him."You, get out!""N-No! I am asking sir Helios questions, you can take Marian
Warning" MatureVenus, the goddess of love and beauty shone as an evening star over the mortal realm, and the entire arena was stained with darkness, tents were set and Layla was escorted by her husband to one of the carven. It was a place like this previously when she had an argument with her father over marrying Icarus, it was here he raised his hand at her."Are you cold?" Layla seemed to have not heard Icarus and stared blankly at the ground, only when her thick fur cloak was taken off her bare shoulders did she raise up her head and stare at the golden irises that were gazing at her lovingly."I don't want to forgive them.""Then don't." Warm liquid was poured down her bare shoulders and massaged with rough palms as they left burning touches, Layla did not even realize that she was freezing cold and her muscles so stiff as she thought about hateful things until the gentle fingers dug into her flesh and slow circles were rubbed.A dark euphonic voice thrummed behind her back as a
The carriage with insignia of the royal family opened making Damien's heart beat erratically, Layla was back.It was just that he never expected that the dangerous emperor whom he hated would emerge with Layla in his hold who was not even aware that they had reached the ducal house for she was sleeping soundly with her hands around his neck.If one was to think clearly it was almost as if Icarus had kept Layla awake the entire night so as to tire her out to this extent. Whenever she had slowly descended to the sleeping realm he had pushed inside her and made love to her innumerable times with slow movements that at the end it made her wide awake with tears dripping down her cheeks. Her thighs were coated with his semen but she did not even had the energy to get up and wash herself.After morning came she was finally allowed to take a nap and slept through the process of bathing and getting dressed."Welcome your highness the Emperor, welcome your majesty the empress of Ardos-"Servants
"Your Highness, the empress is suffering from elipsamy." Helios had earlier smiled at Layla and reassured her that she was only bleeding from her nose and mouth because of eating wild mushrooms that she was allergic to yet the truth was completely different."...M-My mother...my mother had it, is sister going to be fine?..." Marianna could barely speak while Icarus was so afraid that his entire face was ashen. Who would have thought that his precious flower like Layla would have such a monstrous disease that first weakened the bones and deteriorated the body to such an extent that the person looked like a corpse.It was horrible."Its a good thing." Duke Everdale was passing through the hallways earlier and had heard the commotion of the male screaming for his commander thus he stopped and eavesdropped, to think that his daughter had the same disease that killed his wife was heartbreaking but when Helios said it was a good thing, Damien was enraged."What does your word fucking mean?"
Jeremiah Valentine- Layla's husband in past lifeA room which was all dark, without a single lamp or source of light was the only solace for Duke Valentine in these months. The day when his fiancée had slapped him was fresh in his memory as if just yesterday.He suggested a blissful relationship where she would give birth to his heir...their heir, what was so wrong in that?On Layla's birthday he had decorated his castle for her with pure white roses, he wished to apologize if his words hurt her in any way then why, why did she decide to leave him and go to Ardos. He would have been a good husband, a good person, and a good father to their children.For the world around, more than a year passed since the incident, but for Jeremiah Valentine who was always drunken and delirious not even a single thing changed.Duke Everdale was so raged with him that all their connections were severed and the emperor looked at him with displeasure so what was left for him apart from her memories?The o
Everdales have invited empire's best archmages and nobility along with the imperial family of Avesta, even the foreign nobles were graciously called to celebrate a ball in the honor of their daughter- Empress Layla and Emperor Icarus.At the surface no matter how much animosity Leon and Karl had against Icarus and dislike for Layla's choice yet for the people they were a picture of a completely harmonious family. The momentum of the extravagant ball had begun with the oncoming of the Layla whose cheeks were tinted pink thus matching her eyes."Can you please cover it up?""No honeybee, It already looks pretty." The palm encasing hers clutched Layla reassuringly as if encouraging her, but for what? For enduring embarrassment?'LAYLA' freshly written with dark ink was partially visible when top buttons on the emperor's attire were unfastened, displaying a portion of his chest. Many noble ladies looked at him shyly, got a glimpse of his body, saw the name and heard little shattering soun
"I love General Helios" The female had walked towards the very corner of the ballroom and clutched the commander's arm before declaring in an enriching voice filled with emotion. Not only Marianna rejected Duke Valentine without any explanations but had instead proposed another man infront of the entire empire. Just like that the ball had ended with many whispers in the background.A loud crashing echoed in a silent chamber at the very corner of the duchy and multiple goblets filled with medicinal liquid shattered on the ground.He was so tired of this."How long are you going to give in to their impudence?" Steps that were quiet eager to enter suddenly stopped outside the doors listening to the frustrated voices talking inside the room."You are in no position to raise a question about them, remember your place." It quieted down the murmurs and a long silence extended after the raged admonition."How long will A-no her name is now Layla, so how long will Layla live?""Not long now, j
Mortal realm was thrown into chaos after Layla fell sick and lay down in a comatose state almost seeming like in a deep sleep but the immortal realm was just as it was.An ethereal female was lying near the pond filled with crystal blue water, with sunlight slowly drizzling on her face she looked towards the sun and twirled lazily."Is it good?" Someone walked closer to her and enquired."Hmm" She basked in the gentle warmth and smiled at the male before propelling herself on her knees and looking at him sitting infront of her in the midst of a green field full of flowers that bloomed just with his presence."I am here to take you back to the mortal realm....Do you perhaps do not wish to return?" There was some hesitation in his voice as he gazed at her with anxiousness."Do you want me to go?""No..." Narairis replied before resuming."...But they want you more than me, Icarus waits for you to regain your body from a comatose state and Marianna even made a pact with me-" Laughter bubbl
Next is epilogueWhen the world was created, the supreme god to emerge was God Narairis who ventured alone in the immortal realm for eons, not finding a place to either keep his mind at work or to rest, for both the concepts were foreign to him and he was alone until the god of darkness, Ayrm descended in the form of a sleeping dragon who refused to open his eyes for another tens of thousands of years.While the dragon slept in the molten pits with his scales as hard as rocks and eyes darker than any red rubies God Narairis looked after him, fascinated with another thing that breathed it was initially a curiosity but accompanying one another in complete isolation for eons they formed an inseparable bond.Ayrm's dragon scale changed with time, and in the process amours golden liquid- the blood of a god dribbled down his back and touched the ground for the first time and formed a small golden pool.From this blood pool emerged the goddess of light Aria.Sounds of laughter echoed in the
