THE LYCAN KING AND HIS HUNTED LUNA 13
With a newfound sense of confidence, I stepped forward, my voice clear and steady. “Your Majesty, I am Cain, son of the House of Ravenscroft,” I introduced myself, bowing respectfully before King Edward. A flicker of recognition passed through his eyes, an acknowledgment of my noble lineage.King Edward’s gaze shifted toward Agnes as I continued, my words infused with a touch of pride. “And this, Your Majesty, is Agnes, the queen of Qarth, She possesses not only beauty that rivals the stars themselves but also a spirit as fierce as the most untamed wildfire.”A smile crept across King Edward’s face as he cast his gaze upon Agnes. “Indeed, Cain, her beauty is quite remarkable,” he remarked, his voice filled with admiration. “Agnes, your radiance lights up this court, and your presence graces this royal hall. You bring a breath of freshness and vitality to our realm.”Agnes, her cheeks flushed with a mixture of modesty and gratitude, curtsied gracefully before the king. “Thank you, Your

As we made our way back to our chambers, the fading sunlight casting a warm glow upon the surroundings, a cloud of unease settled over me. I couldn't shake the odd feeling that lingered within me regarding Vaemond, King Edward's charming son. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but there was something about him that felt off, as if his friendly demeanor concealed ulterior motives.With a furrowed brow, I turned to Agnes, my voice tinged with concern. "Agnes, I can't help but have this nagging feeling about Vaemond. It's as if there's more to him than meets the eye. I can't fully trust him."Agnes paused for a moment, her eyes searching mine, before reaching out to gently place her hand on mine. "Cain, I understand your apprehension, but I truly believe Vaemond is just trying to be nice. He's the prince, after all, and it's only natural for him to extend courtesy and charm. Let's not jump to conclusions."Her words resonated within me, and I could see the sincerity in her eyes. Agnes

The grand doors of the dining hall swung open, and we were greeted by a wave of murmurs and hushed whispers that echoed through the opulent space. The room was adorned with magnificent chandeliers that cast a warm glow upon the polished marble floors. Intricately carved wooden tables stretched the length of the hall, laden with an array of delicacies that filled the air with tantalizing aromas.As we stepped forward, the royal announcer’s voice boomed through the room, commanding the attention of every guest. “Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, may I present to you the Supreme Ruler of Qarth, Lady Agnes, and her valiant champion, Lord Cain!”The crowd fell silent, all eyes turning towards us. Agnes maintained her poise, a regal grace emanating from her as she offered a polite nod in acknowledgement. I followed suit, my gaze sweeping across the room, taking in the array of nobles and dignitaries who had gathered for this auspicious occasion.We were led to our designated seats at t

Agnes and I strolled to the field where we saw Vaemond sparring with three huge soldiers who were almost twice his size. We watched as he disarmed them in seconds and knocked them out with deadly and swift blows. It was a display of incredible skill and prowess.As Vaemond knocked down the third man, he turned his gaze towards Agnes and said with a sly smile, "Don't you think your bet is safer with me than that overgrown champion of yours?"My blood boiled at his audacious remark. I clenched my fists, ready to engage in a fight and defend Agnes's honor. But Agnes quickly intervened, gripping my hand tightly and shaking her head in disapproval.The Queen of Persia chuckled mischievously and proposed to Prince Vaemond, “I bet you five bars of gold that you won’t be able to knock out our brave champion, Cain.”Vaemond’s eyes lit up with amusement as he looked at me. “Ah, Cain, it seems I have another challenger,” he remarked, a hint of challenge in his voice. “But I don’t need gold as mo

As Freya roamed the dark woods, draped in her black cloak, she was interrupted by a group of vile and menacing bandits. Their tattered and filthy appearance matched their wicked intentions as they advanced towards her with a knife, their intentions clear. However, Freya’s response was anything but fear or submission. A mischievous smile played upon her lips as her eyes transformed into an eerie shade of white, devoid of pupils. The air around her seemed to grow heavy and oppressive, a tangible sense of malevolence emanating from her very being.With a subtle gesture, Freya unleashed her supernatural power. The bandits, taken aback by the sudden change in their surroundings, found themselves struggling to breathe. Their chests tightened, their lungs constricting as if gripped by an invisible force. Panic filled their eyes as they desperately gasped for air, their faces contorting with agony.But that was only the beginning of their torment. Blood trickled from their eyes, nose, and ea

A soft knocking interrupted the silence of our chambers, drawing Agnes’s attention. She arched an eyebrow, curiosity flickering in her eyes as she wondered about the unexpected visitor. With a graceful wave of her hand, she granted permission for the person to enter.The guard, his armor gleaming under the soft light, stepped forward and bowed respectfully before Agnes. His voice held a hint of formality as he delivered his message.“My Lady, I apologize for the intrusion,” he began, his voice measured and respectful. “I have been sent to inform you that you and your champion’s presence is requested at the Infirmary.”Agnes’s eyes widened, concern etching lines on her forehead. “The Infirmary? What has happened?” Her voice carried genuine worry.The guard nodded, his expression solemn. “Your champion needs to register for the tournament”Agnes glanced at me, her eyes filled with a mixture of determination and concern. She understood the importance of offering aid to those in need. “Ve

As the echoes of our laughter faded, Agnes turned to me with a knowing smile. She placed a gentle hand on my arm, her eyes filled with a mix of concern and determination.“Cain, I know you’re skilled and powerful, but you must always keep your head in the game,” she advised, her voice carrying a note of caution. “These opponents we’ll be facing, they won’t play fair. They’ll try to get under your skin, use mind games to throw you off balance.”I nodded, understanding the gravity of her words. “You’re right, Agnes. I need to stay focused and keep my emotions in check. Losing my composure could cost me dearly.”Agnes squeezed my arm, her touch comforting. “Exactly. Remember, you’re not just fighting for yourself out there. You’re fighting for us, for our future together. So, be strategic, be calm, and let your skill and power speak for themselves.”I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her words settling upon my shoulders. “I promise you, Agnes, I’ll be careful. I won’t let anythi

Ladies and gentlemen, lords and ladies, may I have your attention!” The event announcer’s voice boomed through the grand arena, capturing the collective focus of the crowd. “We gather here today to honor our esteemed King Edward and witness the noble houses that have graced us with their presence.”He paused for a moment, allowing the anticipation to build, before continuing with a flourish. “First, let us acknowledge House Blackfire, whose crest is a mighty dragon, spitting fire upon their enemies. Their motto, ‘Fire and Fury,’ speaks to their indomitable spirit and unyielding strength.”The crowd erupted into applause as the members of House Blackfire acknowledged the honor bestowed upon them.

The council chamber was in a state of urgency, the air thick with tension as the emergency bells echoed through the room. Lysandra stood at the head of the table, her expression composed as she listened to the reports pouring in. One council member’s voice rose above the rest, his tone accusatory. “Lysandra, how did this happen? How did Freya manage to escape?”Lysandra’s gaze met his, her voice steady. “I received word that Freya attempted to escape, but she was intercepted by one of my trusted guards. Unfortunately, the guard was unable to retrieve her body.”The council members exchanged concerned glances, their disbelief evident. “And the guard’s name?” another council member inquired.Lysandra opened her mouth to speak, ready to say “Liam,” the name of the guard she had instructed to eliminate Freya. But before she could utter a word, another council member cut in.“And one of the guards, Liam. I’m afraid he’s dead as well,” the council member said, a hint of grim satisfaction i

“You will return to your cell now but by night fall, my guards will come and help you escape discreetly “ lysandra told freya softly “How am I sure you will keep your end of the bargain” Freya protested “Well… you have no choice right now, do you? “ lysandra answered with a smirk. Lysandra’s gaze followed Freya as she left the room, a cold smile tugging at her lips. She turned her attention to the second guard, a stoic expression on her face. “You there, come closer.” The guard approached Lysandra, his posture rigid and respectful. “Yes, Your Grace?” Lysandra’s voice was quiet, a dangerous undercurrent weaving through her words. “I have a task for you, one that requires the utmost discretion.” The guard’s eyes locked onto Lysandra’s, his attention unwavering. “I am at your service, Your Grace. What is it that you require?” Lysandra’s lips curved into a calculated smile. “I want you to accompany Freya on her journey out of the city.” The guard’s eyebrows lifted in surprise. “But

The cell was dimly lit, the cold stone walls casting shadows that danced around the room. Freya sat on the floor, her expression a mix of defiance and resignation, as she awaited the inevitable. The heavy door creaked open, and Lysandra entered, her presence commanding the room’s attention.“Freya,” Lysandra’s voice carried an air of faux sympathy, “we find ourselves in quite the predicament, don’t we?”Freya’s eyes bore into Lysandra, her response laced with bitterness. “What do you want now, Lysandra?”Lysandra’s lips curled into a self-assured smile. “I’m here with an offer, Freya. A way out of this cell and a chance at freedom.”Freya’s eyebrows furrowed in suspicion. “And what’s the catch?”Lysandra paced slowly, her gaze fixed on Freya. “I’ll be blunt,” she began. “The council is calling for your execution. They’re hungry for retribution for your betrayal.”Freya’s eyes flickered with a mix of anger and resignation. “So, what, you’re here to gloat?”Lysandra’s expression remaine

Lysandra paced back and forth in her private chamber, her frustration mounting with each failed attempt at casting the locator spell. Her hands crackled with energy, but every time she channeled it into the spell, it fizzled out, leaving her seething with rage.“Damn it!” Lysandra hissed, her voice a mixture of anger and exasperation. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she struggled to rein in her emotions.As she attempted the spell once again, a timid knock sounded at her chamber door. Lysandra’s head snapped in the direction of the interruption, her eyes flashing with irritation. “What is it?” she snapped.The door creaked open, and a young maid hesitantly stepped inside, her eyes wide with trepidation. “My lady, I-I apologize for disturbing you, but the council has requested your presence in the main hall.”Lysandra’s lips curled into a snarl, her patience worn thin. “Can’t they see I’m busy?” she spat, her tone dripping with venom.The maid’s shoulders sl

The cold, damp walls of the cell seemed to close in on Freya as she sat on the narrow cot, her expression a mixture of defiance and weariness. The footsteps echoing down the corridor signaled the approach of someone important, and when the heavy door creaked open, Freya’s gaze locked onto the figure entering. Lysandra, the self-proclaimed ultimate sorcerer, stood before her, her presence commanding attention.“Freya,” Lysandra greeted with a twisted smile. “How delightful to see you again.”Freya’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes narrowing as she met Lysandra’s gaze. “Save the pleasantries, Lysandra. I’m not here to engage in a friendly chat.”Lysandra chuckled, a sound that held a hint of amusement. “Oh, I’m well aware of that, dear. But perhaps you’ll change your tune once you hear what I have to say.”Freya rolled her eyes, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “I highly doubt it.”Lysandra took a step closer, her eyes boring into Freya’s with a mix of curiosity and intrigue. “Yo

You’ve caused quite a stir in our realm.”Freya’s voice was laced with defiance, “And here I am, standing before the esteemed Lysandra. Quite the honor.”Lysandra leaned forward, her expression condescending, “Remember your place, witch.”Freya’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile, “Oh, I’m well aware of my place, ‘ultimate sorcerer’.”Lysandra’s eyes gleamed with amusement, “Your sarcasm won’t save you here.”Freya’s tone turned serious, “Let’s not pretend that you’re the rightful ultimate sorcerer.

Freya moved cautiously through the bustling city streets, her black cloak pulled tightly around her as she tried to blend in with the crowd. The city had a different aura from what she was accustomed to under Constantine’s rule. The soldiers patrolling the area were adorned in striking attire, a mix of attractiveness and danger that set them apart.As she navigated through the crowd, Freya’s heart raced with every step. She knew she had to get through the city undetected, for the safety of Maximus and herself. Her eyes scanned the area, searching for any signs of potential danger.
