"Well, that was unexpected" Euridice commented.

Arthur is shocked too. He was not expecting the Raven prince to propose a marriage with his younger daughter.

"It was indeed" he replied.

Arthur's memories from the past flashed in the forefront of his mind.

'I will destroy you brother ' his sister's words rang loudly, which made his spine stiffen with discomfort.

"I think this is her plan. She sent her son who pretended as if he genuinely cares about my daughter. Now he is proposing marriage out of the blue. Euridice, she was after my daughter from the moment Valerie was born. After nineteen long years i finally got my daughter back. I know she was not expecting that i could find Valerie again and i will give up on her search sooner or later. But i didn't. She is unable to accept her defeat.

  • Slave of the Raven Prince   Out of the blue

    In an area which stands between the Ernest clan and the Nester clan, Raphael and Valerie are sitting on the bank of a river. The soft glow of the sun light is playing tricks on the flowing water surface. The area around the river is filled with wild flowers of different colours and filled the surroundings with their enchanting fragrance. "You don't have to marry me because of something someone said. People try to hurt others when they feel threatened. I heard from my sister that Princess Tasha wanted to marry you for a long time now. I think she became jealous and did what she did. You can marry her if you like her" Valerie said softly. After the initial shock of Raphael's proposal wore off, she began to think why he did what he did. He is quite fond of her and she knows that too. After thinking for a while, she came to the conclusion that his protective nature is what prompted him to ask her father for her hand in marriage. So she decided to assure him that he doesn't have to marr

    In the Raven palace, Irina is sitting beside Cadmus while leasurely sipping red wine. On the other hand, the so called unwell Cadmus is gulping down whiskey."Raphael must be thinking that i am after Valerie's life. But it's you who is the real threat to that girl's life" Cadmus said while looking at Irina. Irina smirked. There is an evil glint in her eyes which she hides from everyone around the palace. Cadmus is healthy. But he is pretending to be unwell to fool Raphael. Irina and Cadmus tried to kill Valerie, but failed when Raphael rescued her from that room in the tunnels. In order to avoid from being suspected from Raphael, he began to pretend as if his condition is serious and he might die soon. "You let her escape from that house that night. If not she wouldn't have been a problem now" Irina said casually, as if kidnapping and keeping an infant imprisoned for eighteen years is not a crime.Cadmus gave her an offended look."It's not my mistake that she has grown out to be a

    In the Nester palace, by the time Raphael came back with Valarie, Arthur and Euridice were waiting for him. "Prince Raven, can we have a word with you in private?" Euridice asked when Arthur seems to be still struggling to implement his good friends idea.Raphael observed the kings of the two clans keenly. Arthur is tensed while Euridice looks uncomfortable.'What is this about? This is definitely not about my marriage with Valerie. This is about something else' he guessed.Usually he will not get tangled with the clan politics. But he doesn't want to ignore his future father in law and hurt Valerie. So he agreed.He turned to face Valerie who is standing stiffly beside him. He just hope that she understood how much he likes her."You go and rest. I will come and see you once I am done here" he suggested.She gave a stiff nod before leaving the three men alone.Raphael turned his attention towards the kings."Please follow me" Euridice led the young prince in to his office before loc

  • Slave of the Raven Prince   Shocking reality

    In the Raven Palace, Irina is having a very relaxing evening. She doesn't have to pretend so hard to hide her true nature from her son who is in the Nester palace. Now she can relax and be herself, at least inside her chamber. No one will come unannounced. She just came back from visiting Cadmus, whom everyone is thinking to be on the verge of death. But he passed out after drinking too much alcohol. On the other hand, she had a few glasses of wine. Her head is not as clear and sharp as it usually is. She is relaxing. Just then, her mobile began to ring, indicating an incoming call. She has half a mind to ignore the call. But nobody usually calls her after seven in the evening. But now that Raphael is away, she thought it must be him who is calling to check on her. She doesn't want to miss his call and miss all the updates from the Nester palace.'I am sure he must be calling to tell me how much Princess Tasha is annoying him' she thought with a frown. Irina wants her son to marry t

    "He is not like you, Irina. What will happen if your son finds out about your true nature?" Arthur asked with a satisfying smile. Irina imagined the outcome. She knows that Raphael wouldn't be happy. Just like Arthur noticed, her son turned out to be a gentleman just like his father. For some reason, he always looked to his father for guidance and advice. Her first husband made it a point to incorporate morals and ethics in Raphael. 'A true king needs to know the difference between right and wrong ' her husband used to say. She hid her nature from her husband from the beginning and then the same went on for Raphael as well. "Oh Arthur, you can try to tell my son about how evil his mother is. But he would never believe you. He loves me so much that he wouldn't even be willing to hear anything against me" she said confidently. Raphael clenched his jaw. That's what he did when Arthur and Euridice tried to tell him about Irina. He blindly trusted her. He wouldn't have trusted anyone i

    Valerie changed her clothes into something comfortable. She is wearing shorts and a tank intop. She is worried. Raphael didn't send a message or he didn't even call her. Now that they have ech others numbers, his silence is making her feel restless.It's been four hours since Raphael went to speak with Arthur and Euridice. But so far she heard nothing from his side.'Did my father said something to upset Raphael? I know dad doesn't like the Ravens. But, can he stoop so low that he would ill treat a guest? Raphael was trying to protect my dignity with his marriage proposal. What is so wrong in that? I didn't get a chance to speak with Liliana and mom. If i did, then i would have known about what they are thinking and why dad wanted to talk to Raphael personally ' she thought with worry.On the other hand, Raphael gave the control to his dragon Hydra and allowed his beast to shift and fly untill his wings hurt and he no longer can fly. Hydra landed on the top of a mountain which is sitt

  • Slave of the Raven Prince   Bitter

    The past two weeks are the most confusing two weeks in Valerie's life. She came back to the Ernest palace with her family. But there is an underlying tension which she noticed in her father and mother. Liliana is her usual self. But she understood that something is going on and the tention is clearly seen in King Arthur's face. But the thing that is bothering her the most is Raphael's behaviour. He is acting so unlike himself. He went back to the Raven Palace after his meeting with Arthur and Euridice. Even though he spent that night and every other night with her, he still didn't speak anything to her. It takes an hour to fly from the Raven palace to the Earnest palace. But still he comes everynight at some point and leaves before she wakes up. She always wakes up naked and bathed in his scent. 'What happened that day?' she wondered for the hundredth time. But she doesn't know how his father and mother would react if she ask them. She is sure everything is because of that meeting

    Just like every other morning, Raphael stood up from the bed to leave. But this time Valerie caught his hand to stop him from leaving. He stopped but didn't turn around to face her. Her heart is aching. He refused to speak anything. Not even a single word. But he still holds her as if she is precious. His hot and cold attitude is confusing her and making her sad. She is scared to ask him about what happened and why he is being so withdrawn and sad. But a few days ago when she tried to ask him about the same, he turned to leave. She is worried that he might never come again if she broach that subject again. But she cannot bear to see him like this. She can see that something happened which he is not ready to share. He is fully clothed while she is naked. She is wrapping a blanket around her body. It's still early and the sun is yet to raise. It's still dark outside. "I know that i am not important in your life. But Raphael, i cannot see you like this. I don't know what happened, but

    After one year....Raphael wanted to hide everything Irina did, because she was once a queen of the Raven clan. Her black deeds will forever become a black mark on the Raven clan. The hard earned reputation of his ancestors would be ruined, which he doesn't want to happen. So he hid her death when it happened. As everything happened in the middle of the night and as the Raven palace is sitting at a fair distance away from the town, no one knew what happened or suspected anything. By morning, only ashes were left behind. The dead army and even irina who brought them to life are all gone. Cadmus lied to everyone that irina went on a spiritual journey to find peace. Everyone believed that lie as Irina made sure to keep her reputation spotless when she was alive. Only peace was left behind after she passed away. "Raphael? What are you doing here?" Valerie asked from behind him. He is standing in the palace court yard while looking in the exact place where his mother died. Valerie noticed

    Raphael and his men together surrounded the dead army from all four directions. They start to burn the dead army with their dragon fire. As Irina is momentarily disoriented, the dead army stands still like statues, while their bodies are burned down to ashes. When Irina realized what was happening, she gained back the control she has on the dead people again. "You dumb idiots, attack" she screeched loudly. At once the dead army started charging toward the Raven palace again. As their bodies already started burning, they are now walking fireballs charging towards the Palace gates. At once the palace gates shook with the force of the dead army. It creaked loudly, protesting from the force with which the dead army was pushing at it and trying to breach the palace walls."Guards, shift and stop them from entering the palace. The gate will not hold that much force for longer. Barricade the gates with sandbags. Quick" Raphael instructed his men while he resumed burning their decayed bodie

    "Your Highness, dead bodies are walking," he said in a rush. The guard is pale and looked scared. Raphael and Angoori ran outside and were shocked to see an army of dead and decaying people walking towards the Raven palace. Their bodies are muddy as if they just came from inside a grave. Bones can be seen in their half-decayed bodies. Most of them are just walking skeletons, and the rest are in the process of decaying. Irina is leading them in the front. She looked happy at herself. Raphael thought he was prepared to deal with anything Irina threw at them this time. But no amount of mental pep talk would have prepared him for this. 'How does anyone fight with already dead people?' he thought while taking in the walking dead steadily approaching the palace. The Raven guards look scared out of their minds. But the guards are trying to look brave and do their part by locking the tall wrought iron palace gates and positioning themselves to shield the entrance with weapons. That dead ar

    In the dark forest, Irina is pacing the uneven land with fury. She is furious with Raphael who destroyed her lab and then ruined the souls for the dark powers. Out of all her enemies, she never imagined that it would be her own son who would destroy everything. The years of planning, pretending and after a million cunning ideas, everything was burned down to ashes because of Raphael."No one, I mean not a single soul dared stand against me. But now, after twenty-five years of unhindered rein of only victories, my own flesh and blood is standing in my way" she screeched with anger and frustration.The dark forest shook with the intensity of her anger. "After everything I gave you, you decided to take up my enemy's side and betray me. Now, after I learned that you stole my dark powers, there is no going back for you from this betrayal. You have to join your dear Father in heaven. You never really saw my true nature, Raphael. I only ever pampered you and hid my true self from you. I onl

    Cadmus understood what Raphael meant by 'Our plan ' after half an hour. They are standing in the palace Courtyard and all the Raven guards are standing in front of them. Confusion is seen on their faces. It's almost midnight and a meeting with their king at this hour is not common. But Cadmus understood why Raphael is doing this now. Because they cannot afford to waste any time, especially when they don't know where Irina is and what she is planning. "You must be confused and thinking about why your new king wants to speak with you all at this hour. But I understood that this is the best time to speak about things that all of us want to hide from others" Raphael spoke.His words left everyone confused in the beginning, but then the men who are loyal to him understood where this was going. So they looked at each other and nodded their heads in understanding. Stealthily they changed their positions in such a way that they are now surrounding Irina's loyal men whom they are sure would g

    After her failed attempt to threaten her enemies, Irina left the Coronation party in a fit of murderous rage. "No, if they think that they can intimidate me, then they are dead wrong. Raphael might not know about me, but Arthur, how did you think that I would let you go so easily? We grew up together. You know how stubborn I am. If I set my eyes on something, then that should either belong to me, or it should be destroyed. Just like you. I wanted you, but you rejected me and married anesthesia. I thought of killing you, but that would be an easy punishment for you. I want you to suffer. And your suffering would only end on the day you die. Now, your daughter made a huge mistake by taking over my position as the Raven Queen. You made my son go against me. That is a sin deemed to be punished by death. Now she will die, and so will you. None of you know what I did for two years after I left the Ernest palace. I practiced dark magic. All these years I was trying to amplify my dark powers

    Irina has a malicious smile on her face. She is hiding how angry she is. She never thought that there would come a day when she might have to see her son laughing and chatting with the people she hates the most. What's worse is, he made her the worst enemy and made Arthur's daughter his Queen. "Hello Eugene" Irina greeted the Nester king. She intentionally skipped his title. This is the same way she used to address him when she used to stay in the Ernest clan. But after things turned bad between her and Arthur, she distanced herself from Eugene as well. Because she knows that he is loyal to Arthur.Eugene became stiff and so did the others. Raphael tightened his fists. Valerie's eyes flashed with anger. Anesthesia, Arthur, and Liliana have matching frowns of disgust. Hector and Cadmus look uncomfortable."Hello, Irina" he replied with a blank face. Irina turned her gaze towards Arthur. She wanted to disturb their happiness. "You look happy Arthur. I saw this kind of smile on you on

    After the coronation of Raphael and Valerie as the new king and Queen of the Raven Kingdom, Cadmus is given the respectable position of the Royal advisor and the Royal godfather of the Raven clan. He is given the power that he can involve in every matter that concerns the Raven clan. His position is equal to Raphael and Valerie's. He is overwhelmed with joy and his happiness has no bounds. But the same cannot be said about Irina. She is not at all happy. Raphael gave her no position to hold in the Royal court. He decided that it was time for her to rest. He made it look like he is doing her a favor and all of this is for his good..'The previous queen of this clan has given her everything for the well-being of this clan. After my father's unfortunate demise, she took it upon herself to take this clan under her care. She worked restlessly toward her goal. I think it's time for her to leave these heavy responsibilities to us and rest. She deserves this more than anyone ' he announced.

  • Slave of the Raven Prince   The power of gold dragon

    The entire Agnes clan bowed their heads when Valerie approached them. They don't have a choice. Going against a gold dragon is like going against a mountain that is taller and stronger. It's useless to fight with a mountain when you clearly know that you cannot win that battle. A gold dragon's wrath can destroy an entire clan. Her blessing would help any clan flourish and grow. The land that she touches will be greener than any other land."I am not killing you merely because I don't want my mate's coronation to be remembered with a blood bath. Ravens are known for their hospitality. You came here as a guest. I don't want to hurt a guest. But be aware, Princess Tasha. I will not tolerate disrespect either. If you open your nasty mouth to pass cruel comments, then I would not hesitate to kill you in the future. Keep your judgments to yourself.
