Alexis’ eyes cracked open slightly just before she was pushed out the bed by Alastair who was flustered and looked ready to sprout a steady stream of excuses. She groaned and when she spotted Emilia she gave a light wave.
“Hey”.
“This isn’t what it looks like! She-she climbed into my”-
Alexis went back to her room and was surprised at the unexpected guest she came across. He was so silent as he awaited for her on the chair that she didn’t notice him until she heard him clearing her throat.She turned at the familiar sound to see Alastair sitting there with a dark aura around him, his lips pulled into a tight lipped smile when he noticed her.
Alexis didn’t return to the castle until the week was over. She couldn’t and it would be unreasonable if she did. So she just slept in a spare room in the barracks.For some strange reason she was given her own cabin. And whenever she invited anyone in they would shake their head and run off with an ashen face. She could smell Alastair all over it but just shrugged, deciding not to question it.
The door banged open to reveal a desperately worried Alastair, he rushed to Alexis who clutched her face in shock.“What the matter? What’s going on?!” He shouted at her, Roger informed him.“Miss Mage seems to have lost her sight in the battle. Her healing is going nothing to help”, he gravely spoke. Alastair&rsq
Several days passed like this, things had changed a bit in the palace. She noticed Roger and the other knights appeared more often than a bit around the palace. She didn’t know they existed up until recently and now they walked the grounds as if they had always been there.They were all friendly too, waving anytime they noticed her and calling her out as Miss Fairy. Even the serious Sir Roger was calling her Miss Fairy. It was embarrassing.
Alexis stared at the thin man who was crouched down in front of her. Long dark green bangs obstructed his vision and bright blue eyes were visible between the strips of hair that covered his face.“Ah…” it was sad to say that she had completely forgotten about him.She was so glad she won the match and got her sight back tha
“This is ridiculous! How could so many people be supporting the scumbag prince?” She was ready to tear the book to shreds along with her hair at the sheer frustration of it all.Alastair’s supports were zero to nothing or they were when he ascended the throne anyway. As of right now she knew he had the support of the Enflada’s and the Wolfe dukedom. But that wasn’t nearly enough to help him survive the Cold War of these factions. The other three dukedoms were the Silvers, Jewels and the Crotinas.
The Wolfe family gardens were lovely, the area itself was far off from the Capital and the air seemed much fresher and clearer. It was an area famous for the different crops it produced. The agriculture was more advanced here than any other area. Because of this they were also famous for their array of cuisines.Alongside their advanced agriculture they were also amazing huntsmen and were thus given the name of Wolfe. The story of how they obtained the name was much longer however, and Alexis unfortunately paid it no mind because of the jitters in her stomach.
“No”.“Please Alastair!”“Leave. This conversation ends here”.
“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.
