The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 187 - Read To Me
"It came in with the report from Inaymi," Eli said, handing the letter to her. "I will be back shortly---""Stay. Let's read it together."Something glinted in his eyes, his voice betrayed the childish eagerness that glimmered in those brown orbs though."Are you sure?""Yes." She nodded, cutting off the seal so she could finally read the letter. Lytio had a lot to tell her, he had started by reporting about her family's situation.The trial was over, as was her mother's freedom. She would be marched to her quick death in a week, having been found guilty of murder as well as other crimes. Her father had hit rock bottom mentally, absolutely losing his mind at his wife's judgment. He was crazy and now he was locked away somewhere to be taken care of.The first night without his wife, he had attempted suicide. The second night, he had held his grandson hostage and threatened to kill Arlo if his wife wasn't released back to him. Belladonna frowned as her gaze passed over the words of t

"You like him," Seb said, leaning against the wall of the hallway. Nadia who had been looking out through the window at the bright sky, swung around, her eyes a dead giveaway because of how wide they went."I don't." "Do you even know who I'm talking about?" She blinked, shaking her head. "I don't.""You are a terrible liar.""I'm not." She frowned, offended. "So you are a liar then, a good one.""I'm not." She whined. "You are the best liar, there is," he patted her shoulder in false encouragement. "The best one that will ever be.""Stop it." She shrugged his hand off. "I not a liar and I don't like him.""You go so red around him, you passed out because he carried you. Passed out twice," he gesticulated. "Everyone knows you like him, in fact, the only person that doesn't know you like him is him." He nodded. "General Anok is a bat and he will never see you. A friend to another," he moved his fingers between them, pointing his pinky at him then at her, "just give up. It will be

"Isn't your loyalty enough payment to him? I appreciate that big brother, but how can you not see that something is wrong?""I don't go around digging where I don't belong." Kenji tsked, "and that is the thing with you. You lack adventure spirit.""Your adventure spirit almost got you killed."Kenji laughed like that was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard."Who can kill me you when I have you?"Me." He answered too quickly, way too quickly."Haha." Kenji rolled his eyes, letting out a small chuckle as he did so. "Your jokes are not funny." Then he paused, looking back at Nadia and Seb that were by the window. Deb was bowing slightly, most likely to his brother but Nadia was looking away, her body visibly still. He looked away, then back at Anok. "I heard you volunteered to accompany Nadia to see her grandma." Anok frowned.Yes, he did, but not because he wanted to. He wasn't a part of his brother's friend circle, and he didn't know her on her personal level, so why would

The bellowing of the men's laughter as they slammed their mazers against one another, collided with the loud voices of the giggling ladies as their hands snuck into the men's garments in a sensuous manner, rubbing them off the coins they had carefully tucked away before they came, The music struggled with all the noise, still managing to be defined in its melodious combination, over the loud conversation, as the scantily dressed ladies on the stage, floor, and tables, danced to it.This was the Tavern.A place far from the Capital's Market Square, and hidden away. Life here was different from the life of the people closest to the Square.Here it was music, it was alcohol, it was sex, it was violence.It was easy to kill someone here and get away with it.The Tarvern was a safe place for many atrocities, having only one major rule to be followed - Whatever happened the Tarvern, stayed in the Tarvern. A woman in a red cloak and hood stepped in, the heels of her boots silent against t

"Coff--ins," she stuttered, stumbling from the coffins towards Eli. Even with his mask on, she could read the expression that passed through his eyes, there was fading excitement but the shock she had expected to find, was absolutely lacking. She froze, inching away from him the moment she could command her legs once again. "Donna," he extended his hand to her carefully, like she was a child and he was scared of moving too quickly and startling her. "Come with me."Her heart dropped, his words confirming her suspicion. So, he knew about this.She balled her fists beside her, her heart racing, as the worry of her ending up in one of those coffins, crossed her mind. What if this was it?What if this was what the previous brides saw that brought them to their sudden disappearance?Wait, sudden disappearance?The existence of the coffins behind her weighed like a heavy knowledge in her head, the presence of the constructed wood almost suffocating, the fact that Eli was standing by the

Belladonna toyed with the dagger in her hand, one that Anok had given to her before seeing her to her door and stationing himself by it. She was worried about way too many things that she didn't think about what the consequences of him standing against the King might bring. It was surprising that Eli had easily let them go too. It made her feel uneasy, on top of how the discovery of the coffins made her feel.They had been empty but when she moved closer, she had sensed something in them, seen something too. She rubbed her fingers against her temple, as she paced around the room.She had not gone back to the King's chambers, it just didn't feel safe there anymore. A while later, there was a commotion outside the door. The King had sent guards to take Anok away, Seb had led them here and the look on his face showed that he was doing this by an order."What is going to happen to him?" Belladonna asked in panic. "Is he going to take him to the den?""I don't know, My Lady."Anok looke

The fact that she had forgotten the memory for so long did not sit well with her. It didn't seem like something that would have happened naturally. How many more things had she forgotten?For how long had this been going on?!"Are you alright?" Lady Kestra's voice floated to her ears and it was at that moment, she realized that she had been holding her hand in a tight grip, pulling her away from reaching her hair. She didn't even know when she had done that. Alright? No, she wasn't alright.She was realizing too many things at once, the pull from the depth of ignorance she had been sucked into was aggressive. The realization and knowledge that came with it, suffocating.She wasn't alright. They had done something to her. That must be it. Was it the King or Lady Kestra? She had to get rid of her, she had to be alone and figure this out herself. There must be something important about that dream and all the things she forgot, for them to have taken the memories away from her.She ha

She forced her eyelids open, as she grabbed the closest pen and paper she could find, to jot down everything she could remember, scared that if she didn't, then she would fall asleep and lose this memory too.The pen did not work.Arrgh, this pen never worked!Frustration threatened to bust through her, as she raised her hand to throw the pen across the room, but she stopped midair. This pen was a gift from the Market Square. There had been a commotion that night ---a family had tried to kill her --- and a boy had given it to her. She dragged in a long breath, forcing her eyes open, as she dismantled the pen.It never worked because that wasn't its purpose, and she was right. There was a piece of paper wrapped in it.A rushed drawing of three interlocked spiral lines was on it. It was the same tattoo she had seen on Raquel. She said it meant unity, but did it? Seeing this paper made her question it, along with the memories of a purple glow that flooded her mind. Maybe this would b

“What is this?” Ny'ka asked, racing up to her feet.“The Stones of Prophecy. I already told you,” Ka'el replied, rising to his feet too. He groaned a little, his ribs hurting from the force that had tossed him aside.The stones had suddenly fallen to the ground, scattered; they were still glowing though. “I mean, what do they do?“I don't know!” There was a bit of panic in his voice, then he started to mumble to himself as he fell on his knees and started trying to collect the stones. “The King believes his daughter is in the Rebellion, and there are rumors of the Heir; he thinks they are working together.” He stopped and stared up at Ny'ka who watched him with a frown on her face. “That is why the Moon and the Sun came up in the sky because she is really here? But you said it didn't happen here, that it was from another Realm. It is from another realm, right? It isn’t true, Is it?”Ny'ka tried to grab one of the stones from Ka'el but it held it away from her. “Is his daughter truly
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 114 - Third Death?
Then she felt like she was drowning and her words vanished from her lips. It felt like she was right in the lake and above it at the same time, hovering over the water and looking at the drowning child, while the drowning child looked back at her, struggling. Then she was finally in the baby and she could see Xinora floating over her as she felt herself dying in the baby — felt the baby dying. She saw Xinora stare right at her mother, who froze immediately like she had seen a ghost - it was what she looked like anyway, what she seemed to be. Then Belladonna felt the presence slam right into her immediately. Xinora had vanished and was now inside her as one being, the moment of her almost death creating the perfect space for Xinora to fit in. But just as Xinora had merged into her, she dissolved into the back of her mind like a mere pest fighting against a strong host. Her mother pulled her out of the water, her gaze blank and cold. Without a word, she wrapped her in a piece of clo
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 113 - "Forgive Me." "I'm Sorry."
Trigger warning: Dealing with rape aftermath (from victim’s perspective) on page, and baby drowning on page. _________Belladonna paced the room. Two nights have passed since Alaris and her had discussed about Xinora. The Rebellion was healing, and she had sought out Ny'ka to help her with creating portals; although she knew that it might not work, just as it hadn't been working, but that was just how unpromising Channeling had been, and it had worked eventually. That wasn't the problem though. The thing was that Ny'ka was nowhere to be found. It didn't take long for her to figure out where she was.She was with Ka'el, most likely inquiring about their recent failure.Alaris had confirmed her suspicion, and here she was, in the room, trying not to drive herself mad with every single possibility that was crossing her mind.The Priest had drawn a tattoo on the top part of her chest, a little distance from her neck. He had smeared it with the blood of an animal, chanted some things th
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 112 - Dagger Mind Games
Ny'ka went to Ka'el that night as the Heir had ordered, only to find out that he was with someone. Tsiri?What?What was she doing here? Why was she here? How long has she known about Ka'el? How did she get here?Why was she here?By Ina, what had she told him?!The White glow of the crescent moon above glimmered down on them through the shadows of the scanty leaves of the tall trees around them. The smile on Tsiri’s face was plain for Ny'ka to see, just as obvious as the doubt that dotted Ka’el’s eyes. What had she told him?!“Is it true?” Ka'el asked, his fist tightening around the small bag he had in his hand. She wondered what was in that bag but his next words made her aware of the greater problem she had before her. “Are you just fooling me?” He asked as his free hand anchored around Tsiri’s waist, making her smile widen. Disappointment flashed in Ny'ka's eyes and she frowned, blatantly ignoring Tsiri. “Fooling you? What nonsense are you talking about? And why are you with o
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 111 - Xinora? Belladonna?
“Nightshade, do you have any memories of Jyris?”He was crouching in front of her. This room suddenly felt too small. Where was the air of ease?“No, except that he healed my ankle, gave me that gold ring that you tossed away and he was at the table with the King. Nothing else. I’m trying to but I don't remember anything else.” She wouldn't tell him about the strange feeling of familiarity she had when she had first seen him. That would be too dangerous. “You were in her dreams even when you weren't in captivity. So can you just go into people's dreams? Can you still do that?”“No. Her dream was the only one I could get into without being in captivity. But My freedom does come at a price. It was hard to lure the brides with my soul, and certainly, I prefer this freedom to that.”“Did killing her hurt you? Since the gems are supposed to be a pair.”“I struck her stomach.”“Why didn't you strike her in the heart or behead?”“I wanted to behead her and take her heart as my own; a litt
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 110 - Silent Hanging Words
He heaved a sigh and sat next to her. “Well, it was after being King. I think the wars I had fought strengthened the connection with my gem; the lives I had taken fed it, and I dreamt of Xinora — well, she dreamt of me. It was the first time I would be in anyone's dreams.”Belladonna nodded, taking a mental note of that. “She was crying and lonely, and because the Gem perceived its master to be distressed, it sought a connection and found me. Xinora was terrified when we met; I was confused, too; it was strange. But then, I realized who she was and why I was there. At that time, I really wanted to come back here, to Vestros, but I knew it wasn’t time, I wasn't powerful enough back then.” He paused, before he continued. “The White King would kill me easily, but being in her dreams was like fate being on my side. She was the only weapon that could be used to kill me—”The only weapon?“Wait. Only a Bearer can kill a Bearer?”“Yes.” “So,” she turned to him squarely so she wouldn't mi
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 109 - Important Details
“And you didn't tell me? Why?”“It was over two centuries ago.” He stood up. “She stayed dead during those times, why would I think anything would come out of her now?”Belladonna said nothing and Alaris continued. “With you, I believed she had already been replaced. A new Master, her time was over, gone. The gems will always have their masters, I have discovered. At first, I was worried, but then you proved to be more than one with a mere link.”“I had visions of her. I told you everything.”He shrugged. “I thought it was just her lingering presence since she was the one who was connected to the gem before you. They are just mere visions, they don't suggest a powerful presence to get bothered about.”“You must be joking,” she stated, flabbergasted. “I had dreams of her every time and nothing ever really happened as a result,” he replied with a dismissive tone.“You know that is not true.”“Nothing “real” ever really happened.”With a realization, she stood up. “You are doing it aga
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 108 - Secrets Of The Lake
It felt compelling to desire more, it felt right… yet it didn't.Alaris pulled away being the first one to snap back from the spark pulling them together. “I’m sorry, I shouldn't have done that.” He was gone in a flash, leaving her flustered. She couldn't think; the foreign and overpowering feeling was a driving force that sent her out of the room to go after him. She did, reaching the surface, however, and feeling the warm glow of the moon on her skin. Something else seemed to have possessed her, and she went towards the lake instead, strangely seeking the comforting feeling of the water and the floating relief. The reflection of the full moon was cast over the still water and the trees seemed to create a path for her. She walked into the water as a shadow warrior emerged from behind her; the only one of Alaris' shadow warriors that wasn't killed. It swiftly moved into the water, reaching out to pull her back but she turned sharply to it. “Go Back!” She ordered, her voice a gr
The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 107 - Forbidden Move
Breathing heavily, he turned back to her. “I’m sorry— I just— I was afraid that you’ll shift—”“I have been terrified that this day would come but I thought I was stronger, as strong as I was in your Realm. I knew I would be lacking the moment I saw that annoying thing healing your ankle with his flames,” he laughed, the sound dry of humour as he swept his hand over his hair, pushing it back. “At that moment, I knew there were many things that I lacked, many skills, so many things. I might have been a King there but here, I am like a child. I’m not better than any of those dragon shifters. I’m useless.” “You are not.”With a huff, he sat down next to her, feeling exhausted. “My pretense to know what I am doing can no longer save me. I’m fighting a lost war, Nightshade and you can see it.”He turned to her, to find her shaking her head. “Don't lie to me.”“I’m not.”“Alaris—”“Don't try to inspire me, it won't work.” “I wasn't trying to inspire you, I just want to tell you how disap
