''Is it only me, or did she just say that Your Grace was the same as a farmer?'' One of Henry's advisors voiced the question that was running through everyone's head, Henry had a deep frown on his face while looking at the girl interacting with commoners as if she was one of them.

''This is outrageous, Your Grace, she openly offended you, and belittled your status...''

''I am sure she just...chose the wrong words...'' Nara, who didn't like what her friend said either, tried to defend her, she knew Dahlia better than anyone for they were close, it wasn't once nor twice when her friend chose the most blunt and direct words to express herself, many took offence in her way of talking but again, Nara did spend a lot of time with Dahlia to know her words only sounded offensive because they lacked the sugarcoat and flattery as well as hypocrisy, No matter how harsh her words were, they were honest, and honesty was never the easiest thing to deliver, same as truth was never th

    After making a few turns and walking a few corridors, Eren managed to return to the spacious room which was designed for him, he wondered if he was going to have to use it once more, or another one at that matter.Closing the door behind him, Eren quickly made his way to the patio while unbuttoning his shirt, a faint smile plastered on his face, the entire day was overwhelming and emotionally exhausting, but he was feeling slightly lighter after talking to Rima and clearing things out for her, the ice queen was like a sister to him, she always hated the fact that they had to use Sara for her blood, and he knew that his fair lady would have an additional ally in case something happened to him along the way.But that wasn’t it, Eren thought, it was the fact that he heard his emotions being voiced out by someone else, someone close and trustworthy, he didn’t know why it made him feel that good but it did, maybe because it meant that it was there, evident and p

    Landing on the patio of his room in his castle, Eren walked inside while shifting back to his human form and headed straight towards the bath, not only was he feeling dirty and sweaty but also tired, it felt as if life wasn't giving him any chances to catch his breath and kept on coming at him with one attack after the other.On the bright side, his bath was already prepared for him, warm enough to be bearable, and cold enough to stay freshening; just the way he liked it, he was already bare to his skin with his clothes in his hands, throwing them carelessly on the stool, he stepped inside the large pool made of polished black marble, the water was mixed with scented oils, making it smell like the forest, like the earth and the soil and the trees and the bush and the moss and the dew, all together, he inhaled deeply while closing his eyes, relaxing a little, for there was only one scent which he loved more than the forest's and it belonged to a certain girl that he seemed to

    "That...Was strange!" Nara finally declared after a long silence, a frown adorning her beautiful face as she tried to match Dahlia’s quick steps but failed miserably, her knightess was walking fast and almost absentmindedly, which only meant that she was in deep thoughts.“Slow down, Dahlia! My toes are about to break.” Hearing the annoyed huff, Sara looked back at her sister, hiding her annoyance behind her expressionless face, there was no time to waste on slow courteous walks, something was happening and she needed to report it to the king as fast as possible.Nevertheless, Sara slowed her pace to match her sister’s, while thinking about the stroll they just had, it has been a week since her imprisonment, a week since she last slept, properly at least, and a week since she started to notice all the strange things happening at once.First was the matter of her sleep, she was beyond exhausted, dark circles appeared around her eyes from t

    Sneaking out of her room’s patio and towards the castle’s gate, Sara tried her hardest to not get anyone’s attention, there were few ours left before the break of down, and earlier that night, she made sure to exhaust hers sister with every bit of paper work she could do, and even made her discuss war strategies which Nara knew nothing off, all in an effort to exhaust her enough so she would sleep until late that morning and not find about her absence, Sara hated to lie to her sister, but the princess was becoming a real liability with her insisting all the time to accompany her everywhere, causing Sara to falling behind, not just with her investigations, but also with her training.She couldn’t take it anymore, Sara told herself while jumping swiftly from one roof to the other, her footsteps silent as she didn’t want to wake the capital residence, she didn’t know what was looking for exactly, but a stroll, an appropriate one this time, was

    "I guess you haven't heard, Have you?" Seeing the questioning expression on Eren's face, she had her confirmation. "The ice queen is with a child..." Sara said with a deep sigh as if that fact weighted mountains, while on the other hand, Eren's face beamed with pure happiness."That is great news!""Oh, not you too!!" Sara said with an exasperated sigh as she rolled her eyes at him while pulling her legs out of the water."What do you mean?" Eren tilted his head to the side while leaning on his arm, the bright smile never leaving his handsome face, he was beyond happy for his friends, not just because they had a child coming on the way, but because it explained Rima’s weakness and the instability of her core." You sound just like Nara...", Sara said while shaking her head, Nara's reaction was explosive, to say the least, her eyes were tearing up like fountains and her voice was caught up in her throat, Sara barely understood few words from all the

    Sara walked confidently through the castle’s gate, greeting the guards who stepped out of the way for her while greeting her back, however, she did notice them exchanging a quick look, as if hesitating about something.“You were asked to monitor my moves?” she asked calmly, her eyes reading the answers from the young guards’ faces that looked apologetic and uncomfortable with the orders they were given, but Sara didn’t take that to heart, she understood it was not in their hands but in the hands of their superiors, the question was, which one.“The princess gave us orders!” hearing their words, Sara raised her brows until they almost touched her hair line, she expected Henry to be the one who gave the orders which wasn’t surprising at all with the things Eren told her, but for it to be her sister, it was all too strange.What was her sister thinking? Sara wondered, not just abusing her father and questioning

    Sara remained under the water until her lungs protested for air, her mind and body were drained but she wasn’t given any chance to rest, her training wasn’t advancing either because her body was exhausted, and she badly needed to sleep.Stepping out of the tub, Sara dried herself before walking to her bed, not bothering to put anything on for she was too tired to even do that.Curls so lush and beautiful, red like the sky of dusk, gathered in a beautiful up do with few loose strands left to contour her beautiful face, her blue eyes sparkling like sapphires as they looked up at a pair of rubies, shining with equal happiness, his body, tall and proud, dressed in black as if the color was created for him, towering over her delicate frame in the beautiful white dress, they stood face to face, too close, and then the sinful lips descended slowly, almost torturously slow, and landed on the innocent soft lips that welcomed him like a rose petals, they kisses so sl

    “Fuck…” Sara frowned when she heard the word, but her confusion turned into concern when she saw the distant and worried expression on Eren’s face, with his dark brows knitted, his eyes clouded and his jaw clenched firmly, his body was present but his thoughts were elsewhere.Not understanding what was happening with him, Sara watched him with a mixture of concern and curiosity, and something else, she thought as her eyes wondered all over his body before returning to his face, unable to look away from him.He was beautiful! Dangerous and dark and edgy but hauntingly beautiful, like unforgivable sin, so dark and forbidden yet so tempting, even when he was so distant and lost in thoughts, he still carried his charms on his sleeves.And those lips of his, she thought as her eyes were transfixed on them while he pressed them tightly, no wonder she fell for his charms, no wonder Nara, who was surrounded by charming men all her life, fell for

    "You are up way too early, little sister..." Ripping her eyes from the tranquil scene of the forest being illuminated by the first rays of the sun, the scene was breathtaking but just like every day, she could help but find nothing rather than disappointment in it...Dawn was supposed to bring light, warmth, hope...but it wasn't bringing her any, nor was it bringing her sister back to her."Please tell me you haven't been awake all night!" Narrowing his eyes worriedly, Henry strode inside the room to reach the patio where his sister was standing, a sad look on her face nullifying the smile she tried to wear for his sake."I was just...a little anxious about today." Frowning at his sister's tired voice, Henry couldn't help but worry about his sister and her wellbeing during the upcoming journey she had insisted on taking..."You don't have to go, Nara, it doesn't have to be you, we can always send someone else..." Feeling the warmth and gentleness in her brother's

    "Because, this is my destiny, I am a Goddess and I was destined for greatness, now I realize it, You, on the other hand, you are only dirtying this place with your presence!" once the words left her mouth, Sara regretted saying them, hurting the man she loved deliberately and watching the effect her words had on him was equally devastating to her, her heart was breaking simultaneously with his, echoing in the silent room, visible on the tense postures...They say actions speak louder than words but Sara knew that no punch was going to cause worse damage than the words she was spitting bluntly, no attack would have wounded him that deep enough to through him in a state of complete stillness, His eyes cast downward, his breathes coming out deep and calm, his shadows retreating to gather around his feet.Did she really do it? Break his heart enough for him to finally give up on her? Sara thought as she watched him thoroughly, her eyes desperate to make contact with his, unabl

    "Don't!" Emerging from the shadows right before his fair lady's hand touched the filthier one of the man whom he considered as a father, Eren pulled her to his bare chest callously before wrapping his arms around her with no finness nor consideration to her trembling state, in fact, he was so angry at her he wanted to keep squeezing until he broke all her bones, every last one until she was no longer able to move or walk away from him in order to commit her heroic idiocies such as joining the Gods in their suicidal mission for the sake of the greater good.After his encounter with Historia's ghost, or whatever the thing he saw in the bottom of the river was, Eren wasted no time before flying to the center, cursing himself all the way for not thinking about it earlier, of course she would be in the center, it was the only place in their world where he didn't have eyes and ears in, the place where the dark energy was the weakest, it explained how he couldn't sense her presence

    "What in the world is this none sense?" Squinting his eyes, Eren stated at the red headed princess, his mind refusing to comprehend the absolute absurdity that came out of her mind...When Andrea dared to once again bother him in his solitary where he mourned his broken heart, he was about to kill her but the words that came out of her mouth managed to save her life in the last second, for she had announced that his fair lady has finally been seen, and it was by none other than the redheaded princess who asked to meet him...Meeting the useless princess could wait, Eren first told himself as he searched the perimeter of the castle, looking for any traces of his fair lady, but he found nothing, not even her delicious scent which he craved like his next breath.She had hid her traces, that was Eren's first guess, but after hearing what the redheaded princess had to say, he started to think that his fair lady never showed up in the first place..."You can ha

Sara questioned warily, her heart still in the bedroom were she left an angry Eren who was probably raising hell just to find her, a sting of regret erupted inside of her but she quickly pushed it aside to focus on what the three silvered hair men were saying…It felt like being trapped into that horrible nightmare once again, when the Gods tried to absorb her powers, they looked no different from what they did back then, long white robes, long silver locks,

    Stay away from me...Why? Eren asked himself for the millionth time, and was still unable to find an answer for it, everything was so perfect and then, out of the blue, his fair lady was acting as if his mere proximity was stabbing her right in the heart...Stay away from me...Those foor words, they were not spoken with hatred nor disdain, if anything, Sara seemed shaken, broken, and sad beyond words, her eyes held despair and pain, one that ran deeper than his understanding, one that cut his breath the moment he saw it, and he knew, even without her admitting it, that he was the source of that pain, and the thought of not knowing why was making him madder each second...But that wasn't all, Eren thought as he jugged his glass of alcoholic blood, for he had seen something else in her beautiful eyes, something he was so familiar with, anger at the world, it felt like her eyes were cursing anything that ever existed for some reason…What reason?

    "Is he among them?" Seeing the sorrow behind the wariness and rage that filled Eren's eyes, Sara couldn't help but lower her eyes apologetically before nodding, Zaman was with Kalan and the other God indeeed, and the three of them were right outside the castle in the outskirts of the king's forest, their auras were sensible and clear for her but not to Eren, which only meant that they were waiting for her for some reason without wanting to alarm the demons.The question was, why?What did they want?"I don't know about Ebdi, and Jo..I mean Zaman's intentions are still not clear, but if Kalan is here, I can only think of trouble, I shall call for backup..." Eren said as he buttoned his shirt hurriedly before walking towards the door, hoping that his fair lady would agree to stay in the castle until he figures out what the God's Intentions were, but a single look at her determined face made him more certain of how futile it was to ask."If they wanted to attack the

    How could one be so happy? How could one freeze a moment of happiness and imprisone themselves within it? Give up what was left of life with all the ups and downs and unknown futures just to keep on living one moment, over and over again?Smiling shyly, Rima placed her hand in Henry's without taking her eyes of his, it was all happening, and a part of her was still unable to believe it, she couldn't believe that after everything they went through they still survived to witness that day, the day of their union, not just as lovers, but as two leaders bringing together rivalry nations that didn't know of peace and harmony until lately, that alone was an impossible dream with a bloody history behind it to prevent it from becoming real, yet it was happening, it was a reality, a beautiful, almost unbelievable reality, just like the feeling of his hand in hers.Throughout her life, Rima learned the hard way that happiness was but a short incomplete phase, it was never there t

    “A little of red on the lips would look great on you my lady, and it would suit your dress!” the demoness said enthusiastically, absorbed on finishing the last touches on Sara’s look, all while being oblivious of the mixed thoughts and feelings the young Goddess was having.“The lord isn’t back yet?” resisting the urge to sigh at the question that was asked several times already, the demoness put on a polite smile as she answered truthfully, “Not yet my lady, but I am sure he will be here soon.”You sure aren’t you, Sara asked in her heart while looking at her reflection, the demoness did a decent job at making her look presentable for the royal wedding which was happening that night, her hair was brushed neatly to frame her face, the fringe falling strategically on her face to cover the fading scars and then a small tiara was placed on top of it, the red rubies sat on a black base matched her dress, and the red col
