During the meeting."That's a quite peculiar incident." The king said while rubbing his chin. "Well, it's a natural disaster...so nothing can be done about it. You already managed things well and the boy is saved." The king said and Sasha nodded at him."What about the man you brought here?" A feminine voice echoed in the hall and Sasha's eyes went right ahead, meeting those green jades. The only female besides her in the higher-ups.Eleanor."Well, he saved Noah. His condition was worse than the child's because he was badly injured. So, I brought him here under our care. He will be treated and fed well here until he is completely healed." Sasha said, more like commanded. She knew these people would make an issue out of it just to put her down or not let her decision prevail.She knew the higher-ups didn't like her.What she did was clearly out of humanity.What human would leave a dying man behind? No one said a single word because she came clear, more like there was nothing more le
"Oh, look, Princess."Sasha walked through the market, hopping from one stall to another, gaining unwanted attention from people around but it was not like she could help it. She was a princess, she was supposed to be in the castle with the royals but here she was.They knew how she was, so they didn't follow her around and just bowed at her while passing by her. She wanted to be treated normally on these kinds of occasions so she could enjoy herself to the fullest. She even got in a line to get herself a dessert.She trekked through the market while munching on her dessert when her steps slowly halted. Her munching slowed down when her eyes floated on his figure.Leo's right hand.Atlas was coming from the opposite side, he was also busy looking around, his presence and gait as calm and gentle as ever. Sasha's heart began to do a ba-thump as if it was galloping inside her chest. It happened...They made eye contact and his steps slowed down as well, a sparkle danced in them as he ga
From that day onwards, the kingdom that once was blessed with peace and prosperity slowly began to fall into the chaos of disaster. Its pillars were being nullified from within and they were oblivious to the destructor that was playing right under their nose.People were being killed every other day. These incidents buried horror in people's hearts deep within and like a plague that spread through the kingdom, they would lock themselves in their houses as soon as the night fury shadowed over the kingdom.The streets that used to bustle in the night, when people used to gather outside their houses to chitter chatter were now all indulged in eerie silence and all of that happened in just a month.It was like a curse was eating them.Sasha walked out of the restroom after a bath and settled down on the edge of the bed with much difficulty, staring at the wall. They were trying their best but they just couldn't find the murderer.She almost caught him though.She let her bathrobe slip as
Both of them rode through the city as silently as the surroundings. Their pace was slow but their eyes were sharp. She was focused on her surroundings and he was focused on her.'One face...two completely opposite personalities.' He thought.One was a true bitch to the core and the other one was nothing but the remainder of his human past filled with naivety.The desire, the unbottling urge to ruin has been never felt by him since dynasties.There was no sympathy or empathy for her.He was solely here to ruin this kingdom but after seeing the face of his past destructor, the one who ruined him beyond recognition, a fire that burned inside him years ago but was gradually blown off was now fuming in huge flames.A scream coming from the city borders had her flinching as she abruptly halted on her horse. Before she knew it, she was riding towards the scream with him following behind her. They came to an abrupt halt as her horse neighed. Sasha's wide eyes stared at a tall figure hidden i
Three days later.After that day...After Atlas' death...Everyone went into the darkness of gloominess in the castle.They refused to believe that Atlas was the killer and that he was dead. Leo strictly refused to believe.He stood for his dead right hand and knocked the higher-ups down who talked badly against him. Atlas was most of the time with him whenever such murders happened.The news of his betrayal wasn't given to the kingdom...they were simply told that Atlas died a natural death. He died from a heart attack. If they told them that he was murdered, the fear in them would grow. Everyone in the kingdom was deeply saddened by his sudden death and mourned for him. His father was dismissed from his seat after several years of loyalty to the king.The king didn't want to do that, his right hand was dear to him but the higher-ups demanded to throw him out of the kingdom. Walton couldn't do that either, so Atlas' father, himself resigned from the position.Leo was completely broke
Between Five to Six AM.When the sun didn't rise but the birds began chirping when the night fury was still covering the sky, but the people with a few pennies in their hands or a lifetime of loyalty were forced to leave their warm mattresses. There was an eerie silence around...A silence that alarms the disaster.The prison guards yawned as they groggily strode inside the prison while fixing their belts. They took over the position of the night guards as the night guards yawned and strode out of the prison to have their cup of sleep.Three of the guards halted in front of a particular prison and arrogantly stared at the huge man kneeling on the dirty ground, tied with shackles. One of the guards throatily chuckled before spitting on the side. "Look at this cocky bastard. He thought he had us, huh?" All three of them began to laugh while looking at him. Their laughs echo in all the ten directions of the prison. "Let's beat him to a pulp. This way, we can exercise and stretch our
"My hatred for you is deeper than the ocean but my obsession runs even deeper than that." -RAGNAR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TWO YEARS LATERWhen fear had become a part of life and one had forgotten their true self. The glory they once lived in was never reachable ever again. The sorrow of losing everything including oneself turns into a trauma of a lifetime.Sasha lay on the soft mattress.She was all clean from the previous assaults.She was dressed in a soft baby pink colored dress with her body wrapped in bandages beneath the softness of the dress. A blanket covering her body and her soft long hair scattered everywhere around her.The room was cozy, the candles were lit in every corner of the room. The yellow shade reflected everywhere in the room including his face.He lay beside her.His elbow dug into the pillow beside her head, his hand propping up his cheek as he silently gazed down at her, barely blinking. Lots of thoughts were marathoning in his mind as his eyes caressed her features
“Pardon me, I didn't know he was still the same scumbag from back then, the only thing that changed about him is that he at least loves someone, his people." Fiona said, eyeing Ragnar with scrutiny through her lashes. Ragnar was leaning against his master chair with his head leaning back and eyes fixed up on the ceiling, his boots on the table with a few papers scattered right beside his boots, a cuss escaped his lips."F*king peasant. I would have snapped his neck long ago into two. I'm merely hanging on to the string of control all because of you." Ragnar spat in a rugged voice as he lowered his head and massaged his temple with his right hand while his eyes remained closed."Fate played such a cruel trick on us. It's all messed up. My past lover and your past lover are bound together in a marriage which none of them is happy with." Fiona said and walked further, putting her hands on the table she bent down and leaned forward."We got them together so we can mess up with them but th
