Knock! Knock!Queen Lustia’s lips pressed into a thin line as the knock echoed through the room. She exhaled sharply, her gaze flicking toward the door.Who is it now? “Come in!”The door opened, and Prince Ariel and King Magdon entered.Prince Xavier’s gaze darkened as it fell on Prince Ariel and Consort Watelonu. His jaw tightened, and a muscle twitched near his temple. What are they doing here?When his gaze fell on the flowers in the queen’s hands, his face grew even more unsightly.How did this kind of trash end up in my room?The thought of so many people stepping into his space made him feel deeply uncomfortable. Agitation churned within him, and he resolved: I’ll have to change my room today.Rara swallowed hard, her gaze darting to the prince and the queen. Their presence felt like a weight pressing down on her chest. She wanted to faint again—anything to escape their piercing stares.Her hands clenched the bedcovers, her fingers digging into the fabric as the imposing figures
Rara slowly pushed herself off the soft, inviting bed, feeling the faint creak of the mattress beneath her. She stretched her arms above her head, arching her back in a long, languid motion.The muscles in her body protested at the sudden movement, but she welcomed the stretch, letting out a soft sigh of relief as the tension slowly eased away.She gave a quick bow of her head to the stillness of the room, a silent acknowledgment to Prince Xavier for his generosity, before turning toward the door. Her bare feet whispered across the cool wooden floor as she made her way toward the exit.The doorknob felt cool beneath her fingers as she gripped it, twisting and pulling it open with a soft creak that echoed faintly in the otherwise quiet hallway.Stepping out into the corridor, the faint sound of her footsteps echoed off the stone walls. The space was quiet, dimly lit by the soft glow of lanterns hanging at intervals along the corridor.She hesitated, the silence pressing in around her, b
In the afternoon, King Magdon and Queen Lustia strolled along the winding paths of the royal gardens on their way to Prince Xavier’s palace.The king’s heart was troubled, and it showed in the furrow of his brow. “I still can’t believe Xavier wants to keep Rara in his palace.”The queen, however, did not share his concerns. In fact, her lips curved into a pleased smile. “Why not? It’s better this way. Such a lovely girl—she’s perfect for him.”“My queen, you should persuade Xavier to reconsider,” the king said, a hint of unease in his voice.The queen’s expression soured immediately. “Why would I do that? If she stays there long enough, we might be blessed with a plump grandson sooner than you think.”“I do want a grandson, but...” He hesitated, his words weighed down by a mix of duty and apprehension. “...Rara is just an ordinary girl. Xavier needs someone—”Queen Lustia stopped abruptly, her sharp glare pinning him in place.“My king,” she said, voice firm, “what exactly do you mean
“Shameless!”“So what? I’m just taking back what’s mine!”“The wine is mine!”“No! It’s mine!”“This is daylight robbery! Also, why did you put your mouth on mine? Where’s your dignity?” Prince Xavier demanded, pacing back and forth with frantic energy, his boots clicking on the polished marble floor.His face was blushing red, the tips of his ears overheating as if he were caught under the midday sun.Rara, lounging casually on the plush velvet sofa, watched him with an arched brow, her arms crossed in mock indignation. Despite her relaxed posture, a slight flush colored her cheeks, though whether it was from the argument or the wine was anyone’s guess.She frowned and rubbed her temples as the throbbing in her head grew worse. “So what? It’s not like it’s your first kiss anyway! What are you shy about?” Rara scoffed, her tone deliberately provoking.“Also, can you please sit down? I’m getting a headache watching you stomp around like that!”“Shameless! You’re shameless!” Xavier halte
Rara awoke to the sharp echoes of desperate cries—“Help!” “Please…” “No!“—pounding in her ears, each sound jagged and urgent. Her head throbbed, a dull ache that crept in and out of focus as she slowly propped herself up, squinting against the intense light surrounding her.The acrid smell of smoke filled the air, suffocating and heavy, mingling with the faint scent of burning wood and oil. Her throat burned as she gasped for air, and she felt as though the heat itself were a living thing, pressing in from every direction.Orange flames flickered wildly, casting eerie, dancing shadows that stretched across the walls of the palace. The fire was consuming everything in its path, and the crackling of burning wood seemed to drown out all else.Panic set in as figures ran frantically, shouting orders and warnings. The sound of structures collapsing added to the chaotic symphony of destruction, and Rara felt her breath hitch.“What’s happening?” she murmured to herself, her voice barely a wh
The prince was stunned when he saw a woman who had blue lightning eyes. Her hair was striped with red and blue.Realization struck him. A paranormal was living in the Haguar Kingdom.This must be the Chosen Lady who was the topic of talk everywhere.“Witch! Die!”A crazed look appeared on his face as he twisted the sword. His crazed laugh boomed through the sky when he saw the pained look on her face.He was thinking of how his father, King Sudu Noops, would be so proud of him when he went back home. He had eliminated Haguars Kingdom, Chosen Lady.After that, maybe his father would promote him to be the War General.His father had been waiting for ages to took over Haguar’s Kingdom. It looks like that day has finally come.Prince Coi Sudu was still in a state of bliss of his victory and didn’t even notice the oncoming slaught from Prince Xavier.One punch from him weighs ten highl
“G-aaaahhhhhh!!!”All the soldiers who were guarding the dungeon shivered when they heard the same screams that rang on their ears for the past half an hour.It seems like this prisoner is a tough nut to crack. The person who was torturing him must have tried every means to get the answer from the prisoner.Anyway, the prisoner’s nightmare had just started.If he persists until the end, no one will know the truth of the matter today.“My lord.”“My lord.”When the two soldiers guarding the door of the screaming prisoner saw Prince Ariel step out from the room, they immediately bow down in respect.Prince Ariel nodded at them before he leaves the dungeon with an indifferent look on his face, not caring about the stares he received because of his clothes that were painted red with blood.The two soldiers were still watching the back of Prince Ariel who was leaving
BAMM!!BAMM!!BAMM!!!When the noise stopped, the soldiers squinted their eyes to look at the bloody spectacle in front of them.A few minutes before this, Rara decided to remove the chain that was holding Prince Coi’s wrists and ankles.Before Prince Coi could even get used to the feeling of freedom, Rara had activated her magic, lifted her hand a few meters away from Prince Coi to grasp him and make him float in the air before slamming him down onto the floor and walls repeatedly.The soldier’s knees quiver when they witness this. They had never seen this kind of torturing method before.Alas, forget about torturing. Rara looks like she wanted to kill Prince Coi.“How is it? You are the prince and I am an abomination. How come I can trample on you so easily?”Assistant Bear felt chills running down his back. He felt that Rara was such a scary woman.What he saw just now w
Rara was about to reply when someone else beat her to it. "Shut up!" The woman who had just berated her immediately stepped back in fright as she lowered her head. Biting her lips, she clenched her hand tightly beside her as she glared at Rara's back with hatred. As the man on the throne unleashed his aura that made others inside the main hall feel a heavy pressure, Rara's face was still as calm as usual. Since they didn't chain her hand behind her, Rara managed to move her fingers and made a hand gesture. Click! In an instant, a flame of fire burns through the chain around her before it spreads throughout her entire body. The spectators who saw this gasped in shock. "Heavens! What the hell is she trying to do?" "It can't be that she wanted to blow herself up?" "Quick, stop her! We can't let her destroy our main goal today!" The man on the throne was also shocked when he saw this. He stood up and flash in front of her. He waved his hand, trying to put out the fire that engu
Meanwhile, back to Rara's current situation.When the black-clothed men brought her away, Rara didn't struggle at all.Other than to save her children, she also wants to know the mastermind who orders her capture.This is a very risky move that could endanger her life. However, knowing that the Gods wouldn't let her die no matter what happen, she took a gamble once more.Just like how her children and her life were saved even though there was a trace of dark magic inside her, she believe that the Gods would definitely help her again.Actually, this bunch of assassins was nothing in her eyes. It would be a piece of cake for her to defeat them.However, in order to see who was so daring to kidnap her under Xavier's eyes, she let them bring her further and further away from the Haguar Kingdom.On that rainy night, the assassins didn't stop even once. Maybe it was due to fear that Xavier will chase after him, but they only stopped after an hour of the journey in a small empty town."Ugh!"
When morning comes, Assistant Panda arranged for his men to buy a few carriages to bring the guard's dead bodies back to their family in the capital.After that, the whole family along with the remaining guards went back to the capital in low spirits.Laurell and Laurence had been crying for a long time since last night. They only stopped when they became tired. Given Xavier's unstable emotions, Queen Lustia and King Magdon took care of the twins.The remaining guards were told to be more cautious during the trip back to the capital. It was unknown whether the group of assassins yesterday would appear again.Looking at the pale and sickly appearance of Laurell and Laurence, Queen Lustia sighed.Both of them were unable to sleep after the commotion that happen yesterday. Their face looks forlorn and tired.They were both shocked and full of fear when they heard what happened from Xavier's mouth."Hubby, why do you think those assassins took Hara away?" Queen Lustia asked.King Magdon a
The whole Haguar Kingdom was overjoyed when they heard of the birth of the twins. To celebrate, King Magdon announced that he will hold a celebration in three months. All four kingdoms and other mid and lower kingdoms were invited. The whole palace was busy preparing for the events. Not only were they need to decorate the whole palace, but they would also need to arrange for the royal parades throughout the streets of Haguar to the Temple of Haguar. Not only that, the soldiers and royal guards were trained strictly in order to protect the royals in case of emergency. *** After preparing for three months, the day for the celebration is finally here. Royals and nobles from all over the world arrived one after another and came through the gate towards the Haguar Palace. In front of the royal palace was the palace ground that could contain thousands of people. Everyone was discussing the event and some were just catching up with their acquaintances or making connections. The royal
Six months later.Around 1 in the morning, Rara was woken up by a sudden pain in her stomach. Her grunt woke Xavier up, "Honey, what's wrong?" he stretched out his hand to switch on the light in the room."My...my stomach hurt...so much..." Rara slowly got out of bed with Xavier's help.The moment she stood up, a gush of water landed on the floor and wetted the carpet on the floor.Looking down at the puddle of water on the floor, both of them went pale in panic.Xavier immediately carried her back to bed and put her in a lying position, "Ho-honey, w-wait here...I-I'll go and call the doctors over."After that, he flashed out of the room and down the second floor where the female doctors who specialized in giving birth were staying.Knock! Knock! Knock!The harsh knocking on the door woke the doctors up from their dreams.The head doctor, Hilda Goufn, got out of bed first and tidied herself up before opening the door, "What-?" she didn't manage to get a word out of her mouth before h
Alusia retorted with a sneer, “What are you talking about? Does it look like Her Ladyship care? If she didn’t allow it, why would I dare to serve His Majesty?”“My Ladyship, is this true?” Rara turned towards Consort Watelonu.Consort Watelonu was in a daze and nodded when she heard someone calling her.“Do you see that? How dare you point your fingers at me like a shrew!” Alusia roared.Laughing, Rara covered her mouth as she glance at Alusia Kent with obvious provocation.“How would I know if you didn’t do something to make Her Ladyship agree? Fine, I’ll just accept this excuse of yours now.”Her smile faded from her face as she turned serious, “However, it’s very simple to find out who leaked the news.”She then walks forward step by step towards Alusia.For some unknown reason, Alusia suddenly felt an incoming gloom heading in her direction.It was as if there was something in the dark was approaching her slowly, waiting to strike.The rest of the people who were watching their int
A week had just passed when Rara and Xavier were summoned back to the Haguar Kingdom by King Magdon.They had just finished dinner when a messenger sent by Assistant Bear barged in through the door in a panic."My Excellency, My Lady, His Majesty had sent a decree and said that the both of you need to go back to the palace immediately." he panted as he delivered the message.Rara and Xavier look at each other with confusion."It's too late to go there if we use our car." Xavier frowned.Rara stood up from her seat and replied, "I have a way."She then grabbed Xavier's arm before chanting a spell.The messenger who was left alone stared at the empty spot in front of him with shock in his eyes.'Where did His Excellency and Lady Hara go?'***"Liar!""Kill him!""How could someone like him who married those demons become our king?""What a hypocrite!""Come out and explain to us!""He betrayed us! Come on everyone! Let's go and destroy this place!""Traitor!""Open the door!""If you st
Unexpectedly, a few moments later, a knock rang outside her door.Xavier enter the room and pushed a cart containing different dishes. Its smell made Rara gulp and salivate uncontrollably.She unconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth before turning her look towards Xavier who stopped beside her bed."You made this?" she asked with doubt in her eyes.Xavier was about to answer when she asked once more, "It can't be that you forced Gilaho to make this right?"His face immediately turned solemn upon hearing her mention Gilaho."Are you doubting my skills and intelligence? Don't you know best how good my skills are?" he raised his eyebrows threateningly.Seeing that his gaze was wandering around, Rara immediately shut her mouth and sat up before moving the cart closer.For precaution, she took a spoon and dipped it in the soup before tasting it. A delicious taste flowed down her stomach and before she knew it, she began gulping the food in front of her into her stomach.Xavier was quit
"I will not let you go!" Xavier gritted his teeth.His heart and mind were in turmoil when he heard that Rara had an ex-fiance who was comparable to him.His heart was burning with jealousy towards the man who he had yet to meet.No! Later, he must ask both Assistant Bear and Assistant Panda to investigate this ex-fiance of Rara as well as the other men she talked about!His mind was extremely messy that he didn't even think that Rara didn't tell him her ex-fiance's name as well as the other men.Hearing his words, Rara was extremely frustrated that she lifted her hand and landed hit after hit on Xavier's upper body."You scum! You bastard!""Let me go! You can go and be with that lover of yours all you want!""I don't care! Get away from me!""I hate you!""Aghhhhh! Scram!" she screamed angrily with reddening eyes.Xavier didn't let out a single sound as he let her vent her anger on him.At last, Rara stopped when her voice turned the horse and her arms went numb.She panted as sweat
