CHAPTER 97: Escaping The Castle
Hours after coming back to the temple, everyone was in a morose state, especially Gavil, who had reluctantly witnessed his wife being taken away in his very eyes.
“We must come there now and rescue them! My Khailis’ life is in peril,” he reasoned with Templar.
“But we don’t even know where they are. How can we rescue them and charge blindly up ahead,” Galahad explained.
“Prince Rahul, calm down. Eily and my sister are with her. I’m sure they will take care of Lady Khailis,” Templar seconded.
“How could I stay calm? We all know why he had taken Khailis! He must be thinking of extracting energy! I can’t stay still!” The anguish in Gavil’s voice was so strong that it felt like he could cut a knife through the air with just the ferocity in his voice.
Langrion knew exactly how he felt. He has been keeping his emotions at bay too so that he could form a sound strategy, but it does not seem that things are going the way he really wanted.

“You were a knight,” Goddess Eily said, looking back at Khailis with dubious eyes. It felt like she was sizing her up and that she didn’t believe a single word she had just said. “Well, the last time I checked I haven’t resigned yet, so I still am a knight of this castle,” Khailis proudly said. She sighed afterwards. Out of all the people in the temple, why did this irritating goddess, who used to obsess over her husband, have to be kidnapped alongside her? “If you were a knight, why were you so weak back there? You didn’t even fight back when that young boy kidnapped you,” she grumbled. “Excuse me?” Khailis can’t believe that those words really had to come from the person who was kidnapped along with her. “You were a goddess, so how did you get kidnapped that easily?” Eily’s face immediately went red. She fumed in anger. “Someone was throwing rocks at us. I had lost consciousness.” “Well, I don’t have an ounce of magic in me, so I cou

Shia tried shaking her feet. It was nice to be able to regain the feeling of her lower limbs like this again. “You are using wind power, aren’t you, Sister Eily? Let’s see if I can amplify your magic.” Still unable to stride normally like before, she walked a bit slowly towards the bed where Eily and Khailis were detained. “Don’t push yourself too far, Shia. You just got a little better a few minutes ago,” Khailis frowned when she saw her walk towards them. She remembered how frail she looked when she opened her eyes earlier that day and requested to see Langrey. It hasn’t been long since that happened, so she couldn’t have recovered her strength in such a short period of time. “We have to be quick. Sirion is not in his right mind. Who knows what will happen to us,” Shia said in return. Shia’s heart was quivering in fright not for her own but for Khailis. If what Eily and Gilyan said was right, Sirion is planning to harvest her babies’ energie

“I’ll help you and Lady Khailista escape,” the man they knew by the name Gilyan declared. Everybody fell silent when he said this. No one wanted to be the first to speak. Finally, it was Commander Rus who broke the heavy silence in the air. “And why would you do that? Aren’t you the Ancient Evil’s lap dog? Also, do you think we’ll trust you just because you say that you can’t let Lady Khailis die?” Shia held her tongue. She was actually thinking of the same thing. She had seen him fight side by side with Sirion several times now, and he had endangered their lives in the past without batting an eyelash. It seemed he had also known Khailis based on their past encounters too, so what had changed since then? Why would he suddenly turn to their side? “Perhaps you’ve finally known the truth, right,” Eily said, sneering at him. “Did you discover the truth about your past and your powers?” Gilyan returned a blank stare at her. Before Eily could say so

At first, Gilyan was confused. Why would His Darkness lie to him to this extent? Why would he say such words when that wasn’t the case? He couldn’t fathom why he would go to such lengths to secure his trust, if it was that. He remembered how he had met his master and rescuer not too long ago. It was in the summer two years back. Gilyan vividly remembered the stench of rotting bodies that was mixed with the smell of blood, urine, feces, and molten trash on that day. He had been caged for a month with the dead, the sick, and the decrepit for far too long then that it didn’t even matter anymore that he was there... He already felt dead just like them, so there was no point in minding where he was and where he will be headed. Everything has always been the same since his mother died when he reached his twelfth birthday. Of course that wasn’t always true. He was happy when he and his mother were working for Duke Humphrey’s estate in Gaulane, his hometown.
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King Chapter 102: Public Declaration
At the end of this secret passageway, Gilyan knew what was coming... The question now was how can they avoid it? “In order for me to become invincible, we must awaken Freya’s full powers. It is only after she has reached her fullest potential that I must take it for myself,” the Lord of Darkness said before when he had informed him of his plan. His master firmly believed that, to awaken his beloved’s power, he must break her down in the cruellest and most unimaginable way. “Freya’s weakness has always been her heart. She loves people too dearly. I must start by killing those who are dear to her as violently as I could. Only with violence and hate will she be forced to tap into her full potentials,” he said. At the end of this tunnel, His Darkness will be laying in wait for an ambush. He was planning to kill the commander in front of the object of his obsession, and then after that, he’ll kill Lady Khailista right in front of Goddess Freya. “We
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King Chapter 103: Behind The Power
Langrion was in a meeting room with Gavil, discussing a plan of attack for the next day, when he heard it. It was unmistakably his brother’s voice that was booming inside his head, and instead of saying something that was personally meant for him, he recognized that he was giving a speech to the crowd. “Dearest citizens of Gaulane, today, I present to you one of the reasons why our former ruler, King Caldwell the First, had died in vain!” His eyes must have popped out in shock as Gavil went into his side. He lent an arm into his arched back and was saying something to him, but Langrion didn’t hear what it was. He was too focused on what Sirion, in his brother’s body, was saying. “The rumors are true! This woman, as well as my dear brother, Prince Langrion Zephiry Romualdi, are cursed!” There was a short pause as his brother spoke. He clutched his heart, which began to ache. What the hell was he doing to Shia? “Tom
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King CHAPTER 104: Hope and Help
As soon as Sirion’s declaration was over, Shia was thrown into the courtyard prison, the same place that Langrey had been kept the last time they were in Gaulane. It was pitch dark and musty, but she didn’t mind it. She had expected this to happen after Sirion had kidnapped her. What she did not expect was for him to pull a trick out of his sleeve like that... She wondered what Sirion was thinking when he sentenced her to death. He said he wanted all of her, but she didn’t know what that ‘all’ encompassed. If he was hell bent of owning her, why then was he willing to kill her? Why did he also declare Langrion as a threat in front of the citizens of Gascone when he was already proclaimed as king? Shia felt that Sirion’s proclamation earlier was just bait that was set up for Langrey and for her. She didn’t know why Sirion wanted her powers that badly. Wasn’t he powerful enough on his own? He was able to curse people by himself. Wasn’t that enough to raise his a
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King CHAPTER 105: Turning Curseless
It was nowhere near night time, but Langrion retired to his chambers feigning headache and lack of sleep as his excuses. In truth, he only wanted some time to execute his plan of getting his brother’s help.It was the god inside of him who gave him that idea of tapping into the power of the shared consciousness with the use of his wedding ring. The Ancient Evil had used that power against him twice today: first to piss him off that he already has Shia within his grasp and second to challenge him. Now, he’ll turn the tables on him, but first, he needed to sleep...“Close your eyes and concentrate. Train your thoughts to be more aware of your surroundings, but at the same time, you have to be more relaxed... Remember, your goal is to reach your brother’s mind using the ring,” the god inside of him instructed.Langrion wondered in awe why this particular god was so knowledgeable about this thing and how he was able to come up with this
