“Father, you called for me?”
Kieffer bowed in respect to the king. King Nereus waved his hand to the servants as he sent them away. He then stood up from his throne and come down to face his son.
He let out a soft sigh and looked at Kieffer with his eyes filled with distress. The time has come for him to pass on the throne to his only successor and right now, he felt as if the years he had ruled over just passed in a blink of an eye.
King Nereus felt fulfilled yet at the same time, he felt lonely. He lowered his head as he look at his son in a deep bow.
The only condition for him to take the seat was that he find himself a wife. Over the years, he watched him grow into a fine young man and now that it was time for him to go. He felt a little bit sad.
“My child.”
He called out as the prince slowly lifted his head to look at him. King Ne
At breakfast, Hellion was given a soup. It wasn’t the usual porridge she always have and the food seems to smell like herbs. Hellion paused as she got a whiff of the scent. She glanced at Dev for a second before she obediently took a mouthful in her mouth.Without a warning she instantly lurched herself as the food was spat out from her throat. Hellion coughed and stared angrily at the three. This soup was cooked with poisonous herbs! It taste like dirty water!Is he trying to kill me now that I rejected his gifts?Hellion gritted her teeth as she rubbed her stomach.‘So long you have my child. I would never hurt you’That filthy liar! She shouldn’t have believed him. Hellion clutched her abdomen tight as her thighs began to tremble. She then felt a ripping sensation inside her stomach as the nerves on her lower body shook. She felt so weak and there&rsquo
Hellion stepped into the stone pavement. The whole place was dimly lit by torches, there were skeletons scattered on the floor, skulls bones, limbs, everything piled up everywhere as the stone flooring was painted with blood.She look at the stone coffin in front as the lid was carved with layers of unique patterns. The ancient scripts stretched into the sides of the coffin acting like a seal.She swept her fingers in the cold surface of the stone as the words emit a faint glow. Hellion abruptly retract her hand in fear of doing something dangerous.The light faded and Hellion sighed in relief. She comforted herself for a bit and surveyed the whole room.An eerie atmosphere crept into the ceilings as the cold floor started to tickle her feet. Hellion shivered, she couldn’t help but feel creeped out by the place.Why is she suddenly sent into this place? She remembered she w
‘This face, I hate it so much’‘I’m not weak’‘It’s okay’‘Everything is fine’Words echoed repeatedly on her head as the very person began to shed tears. Hellion look at the girl crying in the practice grounds, her image was very pitiful as if the whole world casted their hate on her. She slowly approach her back as the person slowly stood up and picked up the dagger. She then lashed onto the field of fodder as the tears in her eyes was blown away in the wind.She then heard her speak once again.“I’ll kill them! I’ll kill everyone who gets in my way! No one will call me weak! No one would bully me as long as I killed them all!”She then let out a loud laugh as she look above. Hellion knitted her brows and approach the girl’s back. She suddenly flin
Hellion blankly stared ahead into the darkness. She looked at her sides and sighed helplessly. She shouldn’t have trusted her to tell her the way. This silly spirit tricked her but she just felt right into the trap. Now she was stuck in the field of darkness again.The surrounding was shrouded with black as the faint glow only came from her own body that softly emits light. Hellion wanted to really cry right now, when she got herself pregnant, she couldn’t feel but be emotional but this moment was plainly because of her own helplessness. She wanted to hurry up and leave so that she could finally sleep but her companion led her into a dead end making her felt sad.Can’t she even tell her the way? Why does her soul became so pretty when she nonchalantly dug out her heart without hesitation? Hellion didn’t refute that time and only accepted the situation since she was extremely tired. She don’t want move a limb or
The lady squatted on the ground, talking to herself as the spirit nagged her about this and that. She was really petty, even going as far ad shout in her ears all day. If only she could properly turn a deaf ear to all her ramblings maybe she could get a peaceful sleep.Hellion felt so tired, her eyelids growing heavier as she constantly nod her head off, dozing for a bit. The spirit once again, startled her awake by her screams. She was like a broken pipe letting out steam everywhere on her head.“Don’t fall asleep! You foolish human stop exhausting my abilities!” The voice roared inside her head.Hellion covered her ears but it was useless as the shrill screams became louder and louder. Hellion felt depressed, she barely gotten any sleep and she don’t even know where she is and now she have a noisy spirit bickering endlessly w8thin here.Everything was really unbearable.
“We deeply apologize Your Majesty! We neglected our duties and let the Queen be exposed to danger! Please bestow us our punishment.”The trio kowtowed in the ground as they all smack their heads to beg. Xegris only gave them a dangerous glare as he silently clutched the woman in his arms. His eyes soften a bit, seeing the beautiful sleeping face of the person. Her eyelashes fluttered as her lips occasionally twitch. Hellion was in a deep sleep ever since he picked her up from that distorted space, he never let go of her, not even once letting her lay in the bed to sleep, only, persistently holding her into his arms as he moved around carrying her like a precious treasure.Dev pursed her lips, her negligence might led her into demotion. If the lord was displeased with her, she might be reduced into a lowly demon, not being able to use magic anymore.Everyone in the demon realm was under his control, the twelve
“I’ve been lenient enough to all the beatings you did to me… And you know what. I long wanted to get even with you.”Hellion climb upon the bed as she tower over Xegris. The man simply give her a nonchalant look, watching her very image burst into tears. Xegris shifted and lie down on his back while Hellion sat on his lap. She sniffed as her hands tried to wipe away the tears in her cheeks. She cried, tears flowing nonstop as the piled up emotions within finally burst out making her unable to hold back anymore.She look at the man underneath her who simply watched her and listened to her soft sobs. His eyes flickered as their gazes met. Hellion continued to wept as the man eventually reached out his hand to her.“I told you not to cry, you’ll stain your beautiful face.”Xegris wiped the tears on her cheeks as she coldly look into his eyes. His heart throbbed
“M-my Queen…are you alright?”Dev hesitantly asked as she carried a basin of warm water in her arms. Hellion glanced at her in a dazed her eyes still misty from the steamy night she just had. Dev put the basin down and hurriedly grabbed a wet cloth.She then supported Hellion to sat up as the body was gradually revealed under the sheets. Dev widened her eyes in shock as she spotted the red marks all over her body as the very person’s head was still in a mush.Dev pursed her lips and rejected the silly thoughts on her mind. She then slowly wiped off her hands as the strong scent reached the tip of her nose.Thi-this!The demon girl blushed. How many times did they even done it? The scent still lingers on her body as the visible trace of last night’s tragedy was engraved on the sheets.Hellion trembled a bit, her body aches all ov
