Chapter Eighty One: The King's Speech

2024-10-29 19:42:56Running his hand over his face, Henry sighed tiredly, trying to get rid of the tiredness he was feeling, or at least forget it for extra few hours, but it was of no use, his eyelids were heavy, begging for some rest.
After the talk with his sister, Henry had to meet with the Dukes and Counts of his kingdom, including Eren’s eldest brother, the meeting with them turned out to be a total waste of time as the men attending it had nothing to say but to subliminally blame him for the current state of the kingdom, without giving any valuable solutions, some even suggested to give up the usurped lands, which only gained them a sharp glare from him.
After the meeting, Henry had to have dinner with his sisters and the nobles who came to greet him, and when it was finally time for him to go to sleep, his eyes remained opened, looking at the ceiling,

The few seconds in the girl’s embrace felt like years of endless torture, with air being forcefully sucked out of her lungs, but it wasn’t just air, Rima told herself as she felt the numbness in her toes and fingertips, she felt as if life was being sucked out of her, very slowly and subtly while the girl whispered her threat, and right when she was about to react, the girl unwrapped her arms and stepped back, her face expressionless as before, not giving away what she just did.With her eyes still on the black-haired girl who retreated to stand by her princess in a subtle but protective way, she didn’t sense the other approaching figure until a hand was placed on her lower back gently, startling her, turning around, she was met with Henry’s concerned gaze.

"I wish I had your powers, just for once" Henry whispered softly to the girl lying on his arm, her eyes were closed but the smile on her face told him that she wasn't asleep, she was just savoring the after taste of their lovemaking, every touch of his on her body felt as if he was removing a small chunk of her tiredness of her body and soul and replacing it with a missing part of her, she felt whole with him and was sure he felt the same, what was once reasons for the beautiful relationship they shared to fail and die in its crib, their differences, their status, and their personalities that almost destroyed each other, became the things that strengthened it."Why is that?" She asked him in her sweetest voice, she didn't mean to sound the way she sounded, but the ecstasy she was feeling turned her voice into the most delicious m

THAGHIT Camp"Your Grace, The main troops of the Manrast army are located thirty miles away from here, they have chosen a small village as their camp, the village is close to the river and has excellent access to the main roads and paths, there are almost eighty thousands men in their army, ten thousands of them are cavalry, five thousand archers while the rest are infantry, their main weapons are swords but they are also known to be good with spears, they have brought enough supplies for the next two months and even secured a safe path to get more from the nearby towns and villages, the magistrates of those towns were given orders to prepare wagons filled with goods and wait for the orders to send them, As for the time of the attack, We don't know yet, they appear to be waiting for something." The young shadow demon informed Henry, taking advantage of the thick forest that bordered the camping village to sneak closer without being notices.
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Eighty Five : The Manrast Soldier
'This is real!'‘It is happening!’‘It is really happening!’Young Ezra heard himself muttering panickily as he ran alongside the rest of the Manrast soldiers to clash with the oblivious Taghit army, and until that particular moment when his trembling legs were carrying him, following the flow of screaming men in armors, he didn’t believe that he was going to fight, kill, or be killed.He was no soldier! He was no killer! And he had nothing to do with this war! This wasn’t his place nor the place he wanted to be, and while he ran almost absentmindedly, his life was flashing in front of his eyes, like those plays he used to see in the capital’s market when he was a child, the ones he was never fortunate enough to attend and watch until the very end, not when he was the son of a poor blacksmith who would spend his every penny on ail, those plays were a luxury l

Prince Ramez wanted so bad to close his eyes, rub them and open them again, so maybe the unbelievable scene he was seeing would change, but he couldn’t, he didn’t even manage to get himself to blink as he watched his forces being wiped down, exterminated.His eyes which were filled with confidence were then filled with terror, he didn’t understand what truly happened, not an hour ago, he was the one with the upper hand, the Taghit king was fleeing away like a dog with his tail between his legs, his armies were scattered all over the camp, his archers were shooting at the Manrast troops aimlessly, but right in the next second, the earth cracked, ice spikes emerged from under the ground, bordering the Taghit front line, demon wolves showed up from the forest and the scattered soldiers aligned themselves into perfect formations, led by non-other than the Yoren lad.Was it a trap all along? Ramez asked himself, was he so carele
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Eighty Seven: Alive
As he flied back to his friend’s camp, the shadows’ lord thought about the whole plan, it was rather sneaky and even devilish, to keep the Two kingdom's armies busy on the borders while the demons invade their capitals, the battle at the borders was an inevitable one, for the sake of the usurped villages and lands, and to send a strong message to the other human kingdoms wanting to follow Manrast and Katara's lead, Especially that one called Buskeen, which had borders with the fire edge, and which they still needed to deal with yet.Eren didn’t think twice before aiding his friend, for he believed that it was his way for redeeming some of his mistakes, by making the world a better place before time came to leave it and hopefully, join his fair lady in the afterlife, he believed the human king and the ice queen would do great in ruling over the humans and demons, they both had not just the strength but the right amount of empathy, he believed in them and for
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Eighty Eight: The Death Of The Jasmine
THIS CHAPTER MIGHT BE A LITTLE EMOTIONALTWO YEARS AGOSensing the cold breeze ran over her wet and swollen lips, Sara opened her eyes, seeing nothing but the thick trees, the bushes, the moss, and the fog, but there was no sign of anything else, no sign of him.She didn’t know why she couldn’t move for what seemed like hours, but it felt as if her feet were rooted to the ground, her mind running one thought over and over again, unable to take it nor to let it go.He was gone! Her demon was gone, the man whom she met when she was at her loneliest, the one who filled her every waking and sleeping moment with his presence, the one who made her laugh and smile, the one who gave her a reason to wake up for and something to look up to, the one who was everyone else, the one who gave her her first kiss, and then the one who hurt her the most.He hurt her, in every possible way, he hurt her to the point where her life was an agony she couldn&r
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Eighty Nine: All That Left
Sara felt as if she was in the deepest pit in the sea, the darkness wasn't only absolute but also heavy, too heavy on her frail body and soul, she wasn't able to take a breath as it caused a fire to start on her chest, she didn't try to breathe though, that need faded slowly with the time she spent in that pit, she no longer resisted it though, the darkness, nor the heaviness, and why should she? She asked herself, there wasn't anything left to fight for, no one to turn to, nowhere to go, she had lost everything, it didn't feel like she was giving up because there wasn't anything she could give up on, she had nothing and no one, no hope, no love, no family, no friends, the loneliness added to the thickness of the darkness she was engulfed in, she welcomed it, just wanting to be over with her life, the one she barely lived.The darkness then started breaking, like a moonless night with some faded star lights, she started seeing the faces of those whom she knew, her father, the

"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
The Princess And The Demon Not In A Million Years
"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
The Princess And The Demon Moonless Nights
"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

"The once one shall be one, it must, it is the only way for this frail world to survive the death surrounding it, if not, darkness shall swallow it, the sun shall never rise again, and cold will seap through the fabric of life, cutting off the bonds, chasing away the warmth, children shall die in their mothers wombs, love bonds shall be severed, and the sun shall never rise once again nor shall the moon and stars shine, there will be nothing left of this world unless we save it...""What are you mumbling about?" 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,
The Princess And The Demon Despair
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
The Princess And The Demon The Beginning Of The End
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
