The Dragon King's Chosen Bride Chapter 25 - A Walk Through Questions
She moved closer to the mirror in a flash, thereby knocking down some bottles that were on the dressing table.Were her eyes playing a trick on her right now?She blinked, running her fingers through her hair over and over again like a crazed woman, also checking her gown in the process.When she opened her eyes again, her gown was the same blue color it was when she slept in it. Her hands slowly stilled, she sniffed in her fingers to realize that the dampness was caused by sweat.Suddenly a wave of dizziness hit her and she had to lean against the top of the dressing chair for support. She blinked a couple of times again, chasing the fogginess in her mind away before looking back at the mirror. It was all normal, everything was normal.Well, that was crazy. A while ago, she had been seeing something completely different.Maybe she just hadn't recovered from her dream yet. There was a knock, making her look sharply away from the mirror and towards the door."Lady Kestra!" A guard an

"How did you know about the place?""I--" she swallowed. "I read about it.""Ah, maybe from one of the books the King had gifted you. I'm sure one of them had it.""Yes, yes!" She nodded quickly. How was she to explain that she had dreamt about it too. She would sound absolutely crazy. "And from books in her my Villages' library.""Inaymi?""Yes.""Of course, you pretty little reading thing."That nickname again? It made her feel weird but she had more important things to focus on right now.They kept on walking till they came across a side of the market, a stall sought of, where a man was sitting by a table, with cups laid face down on it. Some people were standing in front of the table, their eyes on the cups."You want to play the game?" Lady Kestra asked, observing how closely she was paying them attention, how interested she looked.Belladonna had always found the game fascinating but she had always watched from a distance for one and only one reason, she didn't have any coin to

Immediately, she felt Lady Kestra's hand pull her up, while she stood in front of her, shielding her. "Go your way." She said lowly to the crowd. That was the first time today, that Belladonna had heard that domineering tone she had always used on her when she had just gotten to the castle. They all left, mumbling between themselves."They don't despise you," Lady Kestra said to her as they walked away from the stall. "Don't feel terrible, they don't hate you."Well that wasn't what she was worried about. In fact, she didn't even know what she had been worried about and she couldn't be exactly sure of what she felt."They are not used to seeing scars. They are horrified that you have so many. It is a good thing though, don't feel somehow, now you have their pity."But she didn't want their pity, neither did knowing that they were horrified of her do anything to make her feel any better. It was only when Lady Kestra stopped that she realized that she had taken them to a Clothing Sto

The room suddenly felt filled up with tension. "You want to know how I won against the Little Performer a while ago?" She asked, trying to diffuse the tension. Belladonna's reply was slow, like as if she was reluctantly pulling herself out of the state of mind Lady Kestra's words had opened her into. Her eyes still staring into Lady's Kestra silver ones. "Ye-s?" "He was a Cheat, so I useddddd...." She moved her fingers along each other like as if she was catching air, her long polished red nails clicking together at the end of it. "Magic," she ended with a raised eyebrow and Belladonna chuckled light-heartedly. She was joking, right? They left the Clothing Store after buying only one dress because she was no mood to shop and Lady Kestra understood that. They would come back some other day, she believed there were some dresses she would really like. The next place they went to was a bar. Belladonna had never tried to get drunk before, seeing what getting drunk usually did t

When next she opened her eyes, it was to the daylight brightness of her room, Raquel's worried eyes and the King's angry ones. Wait, what? The King?What was he doing here and why was he angry?"Are you alright?" He asked, his eyes boring down at her from where he was standing next to her bed.She couldn't hold his gaze though, not after dreaming about him all throughout the night. Not after the last thing he had done to her in her dream. Even though she knew it was just a dream, the feeling still lingered in her veins somehow."Yes, I am, your Majesty.""How dare Kestra make you drink?! What if something had happened to you?! What if it was something you couldn't handle and everything had gone south. What would have become of me?!" His voice thundered.She quickly looked up at him, his eyes were blazing with rage. He was mad at Lady Kestra?"She will be punished for this!"Her heart raced. Was he willing to punish his Right Hand Woman for something as slight as her getting drunk

She nodded, her lips shaking, the feeling heightening, slowly, taking over every single part of her body.But she never got a release.The dream crashed away from her, like falling pieces of art, melting into darkness. Someone shook her roughly once again and her eyes flew open, the bright daylight sun that creeped into the room from the opened curtains was almost blinding her."My Lady, finally you are awake!" Raquel's voice was shaky with worry. "I heard you making some strange sounds in your sleep and I was so worried that you were uncomfortable.""So you woke me up?" She couldn't even contain her anger, it was so plain in her voice. "Hurriedly so," Raquel confirmed with a smile, looking back at her. "So are you---""Yes," she flung her blanket aside, mad.How dare she? Moments ago she had been experiencing something she had never experienced in her whole life, something blissful, wrong yet totally domineering. A moment that she would have wanted to stay in forever if not for how

"I'm going to do some things to you," his lips grazed her ear, his teeth biting her earlobe lightly, including her small ear ring that she had forgotten to take off before falling asleep.She hummed, not really thinking straight.Was this how it felt, to be taken?"Do I have your permis--""Yes, you have my permission. You have everything!"He chuckled darkly, his hands curled around her throat with a little force, restraining her.She gasped."You should have thought twice before giving that answer." His voice was deadly.From no where, there was a blindfold around her eyes.Which didn't make a lot of difference, considering she had already shut her eyes before.Suddenly her back was pushing into the hard bark of a tree behind her. He lifted her up against him, one thigh over his leg, the roughness of his robe grazing the underneath of her warm thigh. The other leg, dangling, not reaching the floor. Her hands raised to his chest, clutching his robes for support. If she had been stand

It was all that filled her mind. All day while Lady Kestra braided her hair and tried to chat with me, while also thanking her for covering up for her to the King some days ago, while she had gone down to the maids for her lunch and they had tried to have a conversation with her, it was all she thought about. She had even gone to the bathroom a couple of times to check all where he had held her tightly in her dreams, just to see if she could feel a little strain or pain but her bias mind wasn't allowing her to get a straight answer. She remembered all those times she had thought she saw something from her dream that always turned out not to be true. Like her dampened hair and rainbow water stained nightgown a few mornings ago.Right now, she was questioning everything.Had it been true? All of it?He had once asked her in her dream if she wanted all these to be true and she had answered in affirmative. So, had he fulfilled her request without her knowing it?Yet that wouldn't mak

The Dragon King's Chosen Bride 147 - Happy Family (The End)
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.
