Scheming Mistress

last update Last Updated: 2023-01-23 22:28:36
‘Tell her Esmeralda’s daughter will bring her the head of her coven’s greatest enemy. The Beast King.’

Eloise sprung apart from her, her eyes wide with astonishment.

The brutality that ensued on the Sarng Tribe about eighty years ago by the beasts, was still a fresh memory for witches. Witches weren't always despised or had to hide like this.

The Sarang Tribe was a traveling tribe. Their current barrier city was once an open house of knowledge to all, a treasure for scholars. Though there was a certain dislike for each other, witches and Beasts lived with a mutual understanding but when the previous King took over he made a sport out of hunting witches.

Thousands of witches fell victim to his campaign, he almost annihilated them and sold the orphaned children as slaves. Eloise's own mother was a victim.

If the witches' elders hadn't sacrificed themselves to build that Barrier, they would have perished and their knowledge dispersed.

“Princess!” She shrieked, catching the eyes of

    When the news of the little witch's death had finally spread, Scarlet felt hot searing anger flood her body at the absurdity. It was a game, a fishy game. Laylin was truly a gem, after all, that bitch! She scoffed, barely able to keep her balance as she staggered to stand. “She really was a whore! I must praise her for the daring feat.” She gritted her teeth as her servants cowered in front of her. Her anger was mostly because her pawn, she had perfect plans in monopolizing power in the inner court, rolled to her brother this skillfully. 'Laylin... I was right! The King really was enamored by her beauty and now I was left to rub her empty hands.' She bit her lips with a force her skin tore, 'I shouldn't have been so impatient to discard her! She was supposed to be my ace!' Everyone had assumed she was confined to the investigation when the King had taken in the witch but how the tables had turned... “Ha! She flipped the whole game just by spreading her legs like a low life. How

    Setting his eyes back on Laylin in the mirror he could only grin. She was half-laying on the settee with the throw-back blanket and reading a book while conveniently ignoring his presence. Sprawled lazily, she resembled an arrogant temptress disregarding her mortal admirers. He wondered how she could so indifferently keep him at the tip of her toes when even the previous King never dared to look down on him. His chosen bride had grown a spine. She was a very clever woman and was good at reading people. Since he had lost his reason in her embrace, she knew he was enamored with her. The Ehanian Princess knew how to use his favor well. True blue blood, indeed He had come back after his conference where he announced her newly found authority. He had expected her to be fuming, instead she was still lazing around in bed, barely dressed. His smirk widened as memories from a while ago flooded his mind. “Get off me!” After their coupling had ended, the passion and yearning that was almos

    “Vindictive Schemes?” He chuckled humorlessly, “These schemes are the reason you are alive.” Her childishness got on his nerves. Naturally, she should be on her husband's side, especially when Scarlet was the worst kind of ally one could have. “And I’m grateful but I would prefer no more favors from these political moves.” She shut the book and looked up at him, “You need to understand, we aren’t in love. You are a dictator in my life and this glamorous position doesn’t change that. No sane woman will ever find a man, who used her vulnerability to cage her, reliable.” Saying her piece, she stood up. “To answer your question, I would want something from you, when you will consider me anything but a territory you needed to mark.” His brow hiked up. Relatively, he was surprised, this calm no-nonsense persona of hers was new to him. She sounded like an experienced politician. He didn’t know she had such a resolve. Or where such hatred stemmed from. Laylin pushed down her emotions. S

    “So you will be taking care of me now?” The young women nodded, bobbling their heads. “On whose command?” It was in the evening when she was introduced to her new busty servants. Halo and Sami. The Twin girls were hardly past their twenties but looked awfully smart for their years. “By His Majesty’s order, Your Highness.” Saying so she bowed again. Laylin just stared at them, lost for words. They were both beauties in a mature sense. They looked like anything but 'Help'. She had learned from her time in Ehanian court that a woman with a husband or fiance must never keep another pretty woman around her. It’s like giving your promiscuous spouse easy prey. Most concubines of lecherous men are usually from their wife's staff after all… Was he trying to grow his harem? Somehow the thought of him with another woman like he was with her, pricked her heart. Then she remembered Scarlet's servants. Each one was a beauty to topple nations. Maybe it was trend here. With a sigh, she went

    All the ladies kept their silence, intimidated by the King's presence but their eyes waited for the confrontation eagerly. To them, a new fertile mistress who was in the King's bed regularly was a threat. Only the marked beast's spouse could give birth to strong, healthy children. Rakhbar had polygamy and there were rare instances where a child was born out of an unmarked wife. The Children are weak but lycan-born. Any heir of the King can be the next King in the absence of the Queen's heir. Besides, who's to say, this foxy woman won't seduce the King to mark her?! Ambrose hummed, still fingering Laylin’s hair. All envious stares were stuck on his fingers in her hair. “A juvenile prisoner died during investigation, do you expect me to resurrect her?” He raised a brow finally looking at her. “Lady Sayon refused visitors. Unverified claims can’t help to proceed investigation beside she recently took back her claim but that’s not what you are getting at. I’ll be generous, speak your

    The King’s command had hit her like a bulldozer. The raid was scheduled for the next day. She paced, back and forth, biting her thumb. The strategy was perfect to placate nobles and eradicate any moles in the Palace but she couldn’t be investigated! She had heard they drew patterns with kohl that react to a witch’s blood. Then another thought hit her. Agatha! If Agatha was discovered to be a witch, then even the King won’t be able to save her! Just when her anxiety had almost taken the best of her brain, a commotion in front of her room caught her attention. “Let me through! The Princess is expecting me…! Princess Laylin!” The woman strode forward but Halo and Sami were quick to grab her, throwing her against the wall. “Madam! You are overstepping your limit! I suggest you walk back before I ask these good Sirs, here to-” “Sami!” Laylin called out to her, interrupting her mid-speech. She gave a subtle nod to release the older woman. Reluctantly, they did but glared at the intrud

    “You think…” Laylin drawled, recounting the band of beautiful women that always followed her. “But why would Princess Scarlet need witches or wizards?” Agatha shrugged and thought out loud, “Women like Princess Scarlet are usually like crows. They like collecting anything that catches their eye. I heard from her maids, she was abused by the previous Queen but she was a rebel. The previous Queen also burnt her tongue with hot coals. They say now she can taste nothing. To the Princess, this influence and freedom was everything. Some woman among the servants of the Princess must be of suspicious origin or exotic heritage, brought in for a certain purpose.” Laylin hummed in thought, “You don’t suppose they are planning something?” Agatha bit her bottom lip and shook her head. “Princess Scarlet looks like a spiteful spoiled ill-tempered heiress to the throne. Such women are hardly up to something as their pesky tricks keep them busy.” Laylin nodded. Princess Scarlet did look like she

    He walked about the room, working on his desk on multiple documents at once in his loosely tied pants. He had just embraced her and was already back at work. She was tired and sick but it wasn’t even past noon so it was hard for her to sleep. She fluffed the blanket with a huff and reached for his discarded shirt. “Glaring at me won’t make you any less miserable.” What Agatha had said about her father's perception of her bothered her. It affected her more than she let on. He was her only blood but he discarded her with such a half-baked excuse. Curse... She cried the whole evening and when he came she was the one who lured him quite brazenly to bed. She was exhausted but the intense feelings he aroused in her were welcome. She needed to numb the ache she felt. "I can't stop myself from trying." Laylin rolled her eyes at him. The tip of his lips rose in amusement and a second later he was sitting on the bed, holding a file he was working on. She averted her eyes, his loose robe h

    “So Crimson Rukh, how do you feel about marrying me?”His question left everyone present speechless. Even bloodied and battered Ambrose scoffed. Laylin clenched her jaw and tried to walk past him but he blocked her path yet again.At the end of her wits, Laylin burst out. “Get out of my way while I’m being nice!” Her voice trembled as she tried to run to her husband.Tilting his head in confusion, the demon sneered with contempt a second later. "Oh… Is that this dog’s filthy mark? Now that complicates things," he jeers. “I will have to kill him.”With his one tendril, he threw Laylin at a broken pillar and held her there while he slowly walked to the Lycan King."Screw you!" Ambrose spluttered, exerting himself to the fullest despite his state.The demon cackled, throwing his head back, “Your worthless mother didn’t teach you manners.” He picked him up in the air and slammed him back down.Laylin screamed and struggled but her aura couldn’t fight against his sheer force.

    "...I still think you should see her," Laylin mumbled, in his embrace. When he didn't reply, she buried herself deeper in his embrace. "...Sorry. I should not talk about it recklessly." She mumbled saltily. It was a sensitive subject and she didn't have the courage to look him in the eye.He smirked, looking down at her. She was on edge and sensitive to his emotions. He wanted to pinch her puffed-up cheeks with how adorable she was being. His darkened features at that time must have put her on guard. Instead, he settled with running his hand in her hair. He still remembered the spitfire she was, ready to bite him when he first forced her to be his Mistress.He laid back suddenly on the divan, making her fall on him. "Ambrose!""Laylin." He held her by the waist, settling her on him. She instantly struggled to get off him but he held her there."What?! Someone will see!" she was huffing puffing while her face reddening in embarrassment."Laylin." He called her out again in his low se

    "I'm sure you know if you try something, she dies." His eyes swept over Valerie and Ivan. "One less pawn won't make a difference.""No. Not her! Don't touch her!" She desperately tried to crawl but only ended up stumbling and falling on the bloody arena ground. "Let her go this instant!" She begged desperately as her heart was bursting out.Her mother shook her head, her eyes telling her to let her go but it only made Laylin more desperate."Oh, so you love the mother who abandoned you?" Sansy seemed amused and he cackled. "What to do though? You didn't want to be part of my 'shitshow'."Laylin shook her tear-soaked face, "Okay! Okay. Tell them to step back. Let her go and I promise, I will!" Sansy scoffed at the naivety of the Princess, "And why should I let her go?"At the end of her wits, Laylin snapped back. "I will help you!"She couldn't use her aura easily in these handcuffs. No matter how fast her aura might be but the moment she unleashes it, every wizard here will feel the

    It happened when all soldiers lost hope and thought they were fighting a battle with the fate to be defeated. ‘BOOOM!’ ‘THUD! THWACK! THUD!’ An explosion collapsed the outer wall of the palace and dark wizards and soldiers alike flooded in water crushing through from who-knows-where. But shock registered when they met the eyes of the person standing where the wall once stood. “I see. I almost missed all the fun.” There stood Princess Laylin scowling at her torn dress getting wet and an equally pissed woman behind her. “Did you really have to go this far? How am I going to walk around in this now!” Valerie was about ready to knock this stupid Princess out. Every man on the ground, thanks to the knee-high water flooding the palace, was shocked at the carefree women barging in as if they were taking a stroll in the garden. Ivan’s eyes widened. ‘That foolish Princess was here, in the middle of a battle! The King was right out of the door. If she dropped dead here, they wouldn’t b

    She kept her hand on her belly and smiled solemnly. He was a piece of her and her husband. An heir to her lover. “Ahh.. To be young. Though I don’t really like the man, I certainly despise him less than your mother does. I’m not much of a success as a Red Witch so I have no such obsession with bloodlines or species. I just care for my family.” Laylin bit her bottom lip, shrugging. “Mother is... She will come around.” “Hmm, hope so. But I see... you look madly in love.” Berilla teased, looking at her distracted expression. "It must hurt your pride to love him more than he loves you." “What? No!” Laylin rolled her eyes, her smile still playing on her lips. “He’s the one who is chasing me. I just set my grace on my eager lover.“ She was flexing when both of them knew, Laylin was crazy enough in love to dive head-first in a war zone or in front of a raging monster. Laylin looked away. Her smile deepened. She did love him more but it didn't matter as long as he loved her back. A silen

    The palace stood tall and imposing, its marble columns reaching the sky. It had been days since the rightful King had set foot in the home he despised and lived for.But now, with a burning sense of urgency in his heart, he returned to reclaim his throne. Laylin was expecting, he could feel his spawn growing stronger by the day. ‘SHIIINGG!’He walked solemnly, his two long swords dragging behind him. Electric zapping brutally filled the silence as his swords screeched.Previously when he had imagined her carrying his heir, he had wanted to keep her on feathery cushions day in and day out, lavish her with jewels but now he wanted to kiss her the path she walked on.He had no patience left for morons. His Queen was carrying the future King and she deserved better than a humid cave.As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue over the palace walls, Ambrose stood lonely at the grand entrance.The military he had himself cultivated stood before him, pointing trembling spears

    "N-No, please!” The startled young witch screamed and poured her aura in with all her strength as her life flashed before her. ‘FWISSSH…’ The witch toppled back on her ass, waiting to die but as the creature collided with the magic circle it emitted a bright, blinding light. The monster's movements slow, and it gradually, in a fraction of a second, evaporated in the air. It became quiet and all the witches huffed in disbelief, as if under a spell. “Good work.” Laylin turned to the witches with a smile. “This is how any witch, weak or strong, can make the teleportation magic circle.” She clapped her hands, “Well, nobody’s dead, so let’s go under the lake.” It may sound twisted but she enjoyed their fear especially Valerie who was pale. She felt gleefully satisfied. Now, sure, no one will question her about the potency of her magic circle. She felt bad for Eloise but it couldn’t be helped, she was the weakest witch and thus the perfect person to show them the spell worked. Seizing

    With a deep sigh, she went to the young Princess. “You think you can handle it after all the… commotion?” She was talking about the things she heard them talk about.The Eldest of the Red Witches looked at the Princess with a faint smile. Laylin remained still. Her countenance was quite ample as she looked ahead at the lake in front of her.Ultimately it didn’t matter if Laylin could or couldn’t. She will have to. For the sake of everyone. For the future.Valerie sighed, “We can do it ourselves too.” Laylin knew it too.The witches could very well pull off a teleportation spell but they didn’t trust her or the magic circle she had drawn especially after Aunt Berilla couldn’t perform the designation spell. The battle with demonic monsters will take more than just technique, hesitation could cost these witches their lives.Only Laylin knew Berila couldn't do it because the Great Mistress had made that spell to pull her into the memory abyss.So the witches needed to believe any of them

    ‘AAACK!' She pointed the dagger at him and flicked it down. His leg bent at an unnatural angle, his bone stuck out bringing him into a half-kneeling position. “Keep it down. I don’t want a commotion.” She was so calm that it was creepy. Her lazy eyes fell on the Dark Wizard and she smirked. The Dark Wizard tried to cast a spell but nothing worked, he couldn’t take anything as the source. The Dark Wizard had little to no aura or couldn’t control their auras like Valerie. There are two sources for using magic. One is auras that are taken from nature and one is life sources. Dark magicians fuel their magic with life forces which means they kill to do magic. But it doesn’t have to be beasts or humans, depending on the magnitude of the spell even insects can be used for simple spells. She had protected every living being with her aura in the perimeter. Her snake rubbed its head against her neck, and she caressed its scales with a smirk. She enjoyed the Dark wizard's desperate attempts
