He continued, watching the tears roll down her cheeks with an unshakeable glare."I'm sorry! I'm sorry."The minute he retracted his claws and she sensed her freedom, Kestra scrambled away from him, falling to the ground, her blood staining the beautiful stones before she stood up almost immediately, making all attempts to move away from him as quickly as possible.He stood up too, but he didn't go after her. Instead, he shook his head, the weakness finding its way back into his veins, the pain leaving him temporarily as he settled back into logical himself.Anger no longer swindling in him, his emotions no longer slamming into one another uncontrollably, he was more in control of himself now. The shift was obvious.The glare wiped away from his face and a sorry look took its place. "Kestra."She looked up at him and shook her head. "I'm fine.""I am so sorry. I apologize, I---" he walked closer to her and she moved away, pulling one part of her slit over her cut, when she sensed h

"Now how stupid is that?" Big Cook said and a peal of laughter filled the kitchen."Stupid?" Belladonna asked, looking away from the man who didn't seem ready to offer any explanation, to the direction she had heard the voice that promised a story."It is a name from a child's story.""Fae tale." Another provided. "Fairytale, you mean.""It's stupid ya think." Big Cook added. "What is the fairytale about?" Belladonna asked. For some reason her heart kept pounding, the sound of it overwhelming her mind. "Silly kids ya claim to see what ain't there. Idiots. Don't worry none about it, Milady. It's all bullocks!"They burst into laughter again, like this was the most ridiculous thing they would ever hear. Belladonna craned her neck a little to search for the man that had started speaking about "The Eye" in the first place, eeriness she had sensed from him earlier, was now gone because of the large grin on his face that showed his perfect set of pearly white teeth. His loose-fitted dul

Those four words had flowed to her ears without their meaning at first, and she nodded casually till her head paused mid-nod and she looked right back at him, feeling herself weaken at the impact of the news. "That is--- when?"He shrugged. "Yesterday.""Was it---" she could feel the tears well up in her eyes. For some reasons, she was blaming herself."It wasn't the dragon. It was a peaceful sleep.""H---how?" She shook her head. "No, I don't think that is true. We all thought the King was dead before and---" she gulped, feeling a knot in her throat. "Where is she?""Cremated." "What?!" She half-yelled, half-whispered, shocked. "She is my wife. I did what was necessary."Belladonna gulped, looking around her yet not really seeing anything, she could feel the hurt in her heart though, how heavy and painful it was. "It was all my fault." His voice sounded defeated, like the voice of a man that was grieving. "Everything that happened to my Raquel. You know, My Lady, that she suffere

"How are you supposed to know that?""I know a thing or two about these things, My Lady. I have been Lady Kestra's help for a while." He paused, risking to look intently at her. "Did the king not tell you?""No. It wasn't in his letter.""It must have slipped his Majesty's mind in all the chaos. I presume, it is a really good thing that Lady Kestra asked me to inform you then. It is your right to know what is going on, My Lady." His hand held the doorknob of his room and he pushed it open, but she was shaken by what she had just realized to go into the room. Her mind was somewhere else. Somewhere far away. So far away. Eli, losing his memory?Belladonna had been told that he had gone into the forest to get something to tame the dragon permanently, so that something like this would not happen again, but the likely sacrifice of him forgetting her was something that had never crossed her mind.Did he know this?Even if he did, which she hoped that he did, it was the memory of her weigh

"The King is back." Four words that changed everything. Four words that brought happiness with a shimmer of fear through her heart. Eli was back. Anok had been the one to bring the news to her, and he had not been happy to see that she wasn't in her room, along with the fact that Seb was not performing his duty, but the news had put a hold on whatever displeasure he bore towards the whole situation and Belladonna bolted through the door, past him, heading for the stairs. The thought of the nightmare she had woken up from a while ago was long lost, the hammering of her chest from the fear of seeing the dragon's eyes trapped in that particular gem that she was always dreaming about was now lost on her, along with the familiar, yet unfamiliar voice she had heard in her dream. It had called her a name she couldn't pinpoint and her mind would have been occupied by it, if those four words hadn't come to swipe the worry right out of it, and taken a dwelling place in her chest. "The K

"What about your bride?"It was hard to conceal her smile but she did it anyways. "What about her? Does she know about this?"She shook her head.Eli took in the information. If she didn't know about this then they were certainly not that close. For a second there, he had been scared that he had forgotten something of much significance."Then I see no reason why I should be bothered. I need to go now. I will be back shortly, Kestra." He said as he headed to the door, then he paused, his hand on the doorknob. "Are you certain that you are alright enough for this?""Yes, your Majesty." She sat up eagerly, her action supporting her words, something she hoped that he could see from the corner of his eyes."In fact, we can do it right now. I advise that we get down to it, so you can regain your strength as soon as possible." She added, putting all her hope into her words.He could regain his memory any moment from now. In fact, he could step out of that door and remember everything, from

"You know my name?" She shrugged and Eli frowned beneath his mask.Kestra must have told her. Kestra had appeared concerned about her earlier. They must be close. She must have been the one to have given her those keys too. How had he condoned that, such intrusion of privacy?He would deal with this later."Well, I will need you to erase your presence from my chamber and never step foot here again."What? You don't like this kind of ambush." Belladonna feigned a shocked gasp, burying her pain beneath it. Crying right now would not help her. She had to continue no matter what. She just felt this intense drive in her veins to keep trying, like if he stepped out through that door, it would be over for both of them. "That's strange." She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth. "You begged me to let this happen."He blinked, taken aback."I beg your pardon?"Belladonna nodded. "You were very convincing too." Her smirk was suggestive. What nonsense was she rambling on about?

She dissolved into his embrace, pulling him tighter to her, tears filling her throat and spilling out from underneath her closed eyelids. "You remember."It had been only one night, yet it felt like forever. She hoped something like this would never happen again. It was too much for her to bear. "I am so sorry. You are so important to me. How could I have forgotten you? How---" his voice trailed off and his arms tightened around her. "Oh, by Ignas, how? I love you.""I love you too and it's not your fault." She paused slightly, "you remember now."He pulled away after her, checking her all over as words of worry tumbled out of his mouth.Her eyelids shot open, it was more than pleasing to be able to see his face again. "How are you? Do you feel fine? Are you alright?""I'm alright, Eli."He nodded, sighing in relief. "I had to leave. I apologize for not being by your side when you woke up, I really wanted to wait---"She shook her head and smiled. "I understand." What was he apo

A pregnant woman's unwanted friends were swollen feet. Eli would usually help her massage them just as he was doing now. She was reading a book to him and he listened with rapt attention. His paintings adored the room, a piano at one corner, her sewing equipment at another corner with two studies joined to the room.He chuckled at something she read and she rolled her eyes. She had become quite irritable lately, little things would get on her nerves. It was just an interesting change to watch, especially because food was usually the cure, all kinds of food in their weirdest combinations. He had tried one once, it was terrible. She snapped the book shut. “By Ignas, do go on. I take back my laughter.”She seemed to have something else on her mind though. “Do you think I’m fat?”He smiled, “Like I always say, you are not fat, you are just pregnant.”“So you would want me like this?”He chuckled, the sound throaty as he buried his face into the crook of her neck. He moved quickly, she c
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 146 - It Is Us
Eli and Belladonna had come a long way. After death pays a visit, who would expect a joining ceremony?The trail was only hours ago and everything still felt shocking to Belladonna. She was the Kore and Eli was the right-hand man to the UnderLord. She was no longer a ghost but a High Realm that could move from one realm to another, and grant to only those who deserved it a second chance at life. She was a Kore with no realm of her own but one she must build from scratch. The Fate had dissolved the Kore’s realm after they based their judgment on the previous one. Luna and Ama had promised to help her in all ways they could and Belladonna was grateful for the offer. She was more excited about her ability to move from one realm to another though. She couldn’t wait to see her sister, Arlo, and Alaris even though they might not be able to see her. As Eli had told her, the UnderLord didn’t have a right-hand man for a very long time. Many Thanatos had been trying to acquire the position.

“She passed two tests!” Ama sprung up from her seat., “There must be something—““You are not one of this council,” the Ghost High Being turned to her sharply, “so keep your voice out of the decisions.” Belladonna's eyes widened. Two tests! So Eli—- Ah by Ignas, she had been right. Where was Eli? Why hadn’t they let him come in yet?Ama smirked, “Still holding a grudge, Phosi? I see.”“Passed the two tests? It is obvious that she has failed. The rules are the rules,” The Sea High Being spoke, “she has failed. Pass the judgment, I have places to be.”Failed? Belladonna felt that painful jolt in her heart. What were they even talking about?!The hall seemed to share the same confusion as Belladonna, they whispered amongst one another. “Failed?!” Luna snapped. “How did she fail? It is not her fault that her soul didn’t align——““The rules are the rules! And you are not a part of this Council, stay out of it!” The High Being of the Sea snapped. “End this already,” he said to the Fates,
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 144 - The Trail
The days that followed were fast and the training was tedious, Luna helped as much as she could, probably more than any mentor ever would. Life in the Moonrealm was wonderful, but for the things that shattered her peace. After training in the Moonrealm for two moons, Luna had not-so-pleasant news for her. Eli was to undergo a test too, a single test.“He has to fight the UnderLord and defeat him.”“Who will train him?”“The UnderLord.”There was no way the UnderLord would train Eli enough to be able to defeat him. “He chose him to be his master.”Belladonna paused. Eli was definitely plotting something.“Also, the failure of one is the failure of both of you.”Belladonna blinked, the times and the trails were against them but Eli was no fool. He definitely had something planned. ——-——-[TRIAL DAY]The first thing Belladonna saw when she stepped into the hall was a woman on her knees screaming in agony, while three faceless people with the staff in their hands stood around her, the
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 143 - Preparation
Preparation“It is believed that holding the title of the Kore is a curse and there is a reason for that. Everyone that becomes the Kore always has a terrible end.” Luna paused as if considering her next words before she finally spoke. “Reincarnation should be beautiful, not filled with so many problems. Reincarnation and second chances, do you not think so, Belladonna?”Belladonna nodded, wanting to know about the Kore already, but instead of continuing with what she had to say, Luna drew a line in thin air, and a floating lightly illuminated map unraveled between them. There were different floating objects on the map, probably to signify places. “For your third test, you must be chosen as an apprenticeship for one of the Realm Lords.”“Chosen?”“It is quite tricky as it is your soul that chooses for you and if the Realm Lord of the one your soul along with thinks you are fit, then you will have passed the third test.”“I don’t understand. Something seems to be missing. What about t

“What?!” Belladonna yelled, grabbing Ama’s wrists tightly with rage. “How could not tell me?!”“How dare you disrespect me?!” Ama snapped her hands away from Belladonna’s grip, fury blazing in her eyes as she started getting bigger, losing the frame she had fitted herself into. Belladonna stayed firm, her anger refusing her to feel fear. How dare they drag Aniya into this? How dare they? If she had known, she wouldn't— By Ignas, she wouldn't have done this!To ruin another’s life for the sake of her happiness? Never!No.Then Ama stopped, looked at the castle, and was back to normal in a flash as if a thought had flashed into her mind to make her reconsider. “I will spare you the wrath of my mate only this once. You will not disrespect me again,” She said firmly but those were words Belladonna couldn't hear.They sounded like echoes in the background. Anger changed into fear, not for her but for Aniya.She fell to her knees and wept. “You must reverse it. Please, I am begging. Ask f

“Eli.” Tears were streaming down her face now.Finally, they could touch but this moment wouldn’t last forever, and they intended to exploit it for as long as they could.“Do you love me, Donna?” His hand cupped the side of her face.“You know I love you.” She slipped her fingers through his hair which had grown longer than she remembered. She had certainly not seen all of the real him when he possessed Jyris’ body. Now, he looked so different. “By Ignas, I do. I love you, Eli.”“And I love you too. No amount of this torture, nor of passage of time will take that away. I grant you the permission to forget me. You need not feel any guilt, it will be the best way of loving me.”Belladonna wiped her tears away. “It is ironic, you begged me to choose you in Gaya’s garden and I did not, and now that I want to choose you, you are begging not to.” The words spilled quickly out of mouth, as they tried to make the best use of their borrowed time.A glimmer of a smile snaked into his eyes. “It
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 140 - Lovers Meet
The journey to Eli’s dungeon felt like a repeat of past events, it was like a flash of what had happened after the Red Moon Ritual, a reminder of the time Alaris had led her to his dungeon. She had followed Alaris with worry and love for him in her heart, then she found him in chains and finally, she left his presence betrayed, sad, and a grounded hatred for him.It felt sickening to be in this type of situation again though under different circumstances. She wished it was over, she wished she had seen him and saved him. She heard his voice before she saw him. A shout filled with agony. Her heart clenched with pain as she prepared herself to see the worst. Ama stopped walking and Belladonna who was following her did the same. Why had they stopped? She couldn’t see Eli anywhere, in fact, she could barely see her surroundings; she could still hear his voice though, and that in itself was too painful to bear. What type of torture were they putting him through? Suddenly, the growls of
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 139 - Falling Into Place
The next thing Belladonna knew, her blindfold was ripped away from her and she was tossed roughly to the floor, her hands and knees bearing the brunt of the action. She expected pain but that never came. Oh, of course.The room was lit with red dim lights, however for Belladonna who had stayed in the dark for too long, the light felt blinding. The structure of the hall seemed like a throne room but it was of such an intricate design that she had no time to access it, the only thing that caught her eye was the strange, massive, dangling bed-like structure with curtains, connected with a chain to the roof of the hall; she could only assume that, it was too dark to see into the distance above. She rose to her feet and froze when she heard growls and gnashing behind her and she turned to look back, frightened. This beast, she had seen it before. Four-legged with three heads of mighty wild dogs, rough rocky skin with visible maps of the lava contained within. Vicious and ready to kill.
