Eren looked down at the petrified face of his fair lady with confusion written all over his, she was tense, scared, and alert, making him wonder what made her that way suddenly when not a minute ago she was lying leisurely on his bed, naked and satisfied, her grip on both of his arms was tight and painful as her wide eyes looked at him, words stuck on her throat as she couldn’t say anything else.
Tilting his head, Eren stared at the closed door for a second before looking back at his fair lady, his eyes questioning her for what she meant, his shadows didn’t detect any threats nor did he get any reports for any intrusion, there was nothing to be worried about besides the possible news his advisor was carrying, only that didn’t seem to be what alarmed her, but before he could question her or even reassure her that she was safe by his side with nothing to worry about, the door of his bedroom was opened to reveal the old demon carrying a silver tray with a small
‘Why now?’ Sara whispered to herself as she looked at the closed door where Eren and the God called Zaman had just walked out of, she wanted so much to go after them, not just because she still had questions to ask, about her mother, about her enigmatic last words and about the things she saw in the frozen edge, the chaotic darkness that threatened to flood over the world, but also because she wanted to be with Eren, she understood how difficult it must be for him, the hurt and betrayal was written all over his face.It wasn’t just that, though, he also looked lost, not sure of what he knew nor what to believe any longer, all those feelings were things she was so familiar with, and ironically, it was none other than Eren who made her feel them in the first place, the room she was in was the same one he had locked her in and almost defiled her two years ago, she thought that the mere sight of the same bed would make her panic at the reminder of what hap
“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
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
"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
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? What w
"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,
"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
"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
"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
