"Hector, can't you teach me some actual magic now? Haven't I meditated enough!" Alexis gave out a exasperated outburst as she flopped back onto the comfy grass. The sun beamed on her face, and despite the sunshine, rainbows and kittens, she wasn't at all in a good mood.
"Not until you can control your magic, I heard the prince slapped himself across the face, twice might I add, because of you and if that doesn't show much proof I don't know what will", he had a strong argument so Alexis didn't counter it, instead she chortled as she remembered the princes dumb face.
Alexis felt her heart palpitations quicken as they neared the dinner room. She was walking alongside Dwayne hoping to maybe rush away at any chance, but whenever she thought to, she recalled Hectors glare and held back.They came to the room and the two soldiers who stood at the doors gave her a familiar glance. They didn't stop her this time. They just politely opened the door and she and Dwayne stepped into the strained atmosphere.There was the old pervert, the fancy old lady, the
Daron grit his teeth, a prominent glare on his face. So sharp Lilianna, the first queen, was reminded of him in his younger days, when he was much crueller and still as shallow.She knew the expression well, as it was his face when his pride was injured and that happened so many times to the extremely prideful man. She had once tried to count, but that ended up in him having the same expression when he found out and as a result married the second queen, Elizabeth.He stopped walking
"What? You want me to kiss you?" He asked breaking off her train of thought with a sneer and she frowned in return."Of course not, i was just wonder"-"And yet your cheeks are so red", he scoffed at her and her temper ticked."No- that's because I was surprised. I'd never want to kiss you!" She felt a strange offe
Joshua was smart enough to know what the emperor was playing at. And so he smiled, mischievously."I see. Then let me refresh your memory with Miss Mage", that did it."No!- ahem, we needn't get dirt involved in this", Alastair replied, forcing himself to calm down and not get caught in Joshua's game."Are you sure
Dwayne appeared for every one of Alexis' magic lesson after attending the first one. And he was always uncannily kind despite all her sarcastic remarks. Most people would get fed up and burst, but if she had to give the scumbag a compliment it'd be his sheer determination.She had a hunch about why he kept appearing around, but going by it, it was better he kept showing up."What's the matter Agathus?" Alexis asked as the small man interrupted her lesson. He looked rushed and tired,
Alastair held out his hand and the princess took it, shaking his large hand with a small, soft and fragile one."Such delicate hands", he lifted her hands in his own, "definitely hands that belong to a prestigious lady".Alexis almost had a heart attack.'What the hell is he doing? Why is he flirting with her??!' A
The contract had been signed, concluding that for the next 40 years, Arkala and the Empire will be at good terms with each other. These contracts were quite dangerous as it wasn't a contract signed by royals from two different countries, but by all the citizens. So, in the case where treason were committed then someone would have a painful hand full of blisters.Regardless of the contract being signed, Princess Felicia and the ambassadors decided to stay for the week and news quickly swirled, people spoke rumours about how Arkala wanted to create an alliance with the Empire through marriage. And how the Emperor had fallen in love at first sight with th
The whole ride to the academy was the most anxiety-ridden and stress-inducing ride ever. The princess who realised she wouldn't get a reply looked forlorn, Alastair looked uncomfortable and kept glancing at Alexis for help, and Alexis was staring out the window wearing her emotions on her sleeve.Confusion. Worry. And something else, something painful. Like needles stabbing her chest.Not knowing the feeling she just shook it off. Pondering if maybe she should get her heart checked f
“Are you sure about this?” Emilia asked one final time.She held a book, large and heavy, full of flying specks of dust that would’ve had a human coughing fits. It was a spell book. Full of ancient spells that were pretty forbidden… and also illegal.But what greater hypocrites are there than the ones wh
The bill passed sooner than most would have thought. The aristocratic’s did ask for a few other conditions which were thoroughly reviewed, but other than that things sailed smoothly.All there was left was for Alastair to finalise a contract with a recovering Shane. And so he was invited to the palace. Something no vampire had ever had the displeasure of. He looked to every corner of the palace in caution, expecting an assassination any moment. Of course, nothing happened.
“So, I take I he wasn’t too pleased with our proceedings?” Hector was perched up on the chrysanthemum tree, idly reading a book when Alexis had sat down to pour her troubles to him. His reading would have to wait.Alexis gave a dry laugh, “I’m not entirely sure. Why do you t
The secret garden was the same as ever. In all honesty, Alexis hadn’t visited it after Alastair had showed it to her. She was always busy. Busy and scared.She wasn’t sure why. But, the place seemed sacred. It was almost as if she didn’t belong there. In its majestic beauty she felt like dirt. Ironically…
The appearance of vampires dates back to as far as 1700, a far cry from the current 3562 century, back then they had a population of a billion and come the current years have dwindled down to only a handful. Their existence is currently on the brink of extinction.This was because of the stigma they carried. Shadow magic was already an isolated form of magic, and with vampires being natural users they were also isolated.
“Oh my head. Oh god my head is splitting” groaned Alexis.“It doesn’t get easier” Alastair agreed through pained groans.“This is a familiar situation, isn’t it?” The gender less voice made Alexis perk up.
It was almost comical when the three sat on Alexis’ dinner table. Glaring at each other.The aroma of fresh bread and pepperoni taunted the serious expressions on their faces. They deeply inhaled it, unable to stop their hands from inching towards the box.It was only a matter of seconds before Ale
It was only minutes after when Alastair’s stomach rumbled. It was the first time Alexis had seen him so embarrassed.“Haha, let’s get you something to eat” she helped him up, not noticing the looks of interest he threw the bathroom. He touched the shower head, flinching when a droplet of water fell on his hand.&l
“-Lexis. Alexis!”The said girl jumped in alarm, barely knocking over her soda as she turned to her friend Blair.“What?” She asked, after forcefully swallowing the chunk of bread she hadn’t chewed for the past five minutes.
