There's been a lot of running going on inside the palace corridors. They just don't have the luxury to walk as a matter of life and death is at the door.“Your Majesty! There's an army of monsters grande entering the pine forest area behind the palace! And… Sir Deedad is in critical condition.”"What?! Call Dylan, right now!”It was a gripping precarious situation. All such chaos was deliberately spilled onto Haddad's ground by the universe at the same time. All of this made him didn't have time to breathe.They haven't finished eradicating the monsters that roam in the city, also in the harbor area, but now the more dangerous monster grande have broken through the palace defenses.The bells on the palace tower rang continuously. The sound of the danger warning was caught by another tower that also rang the bell. The sounds aroused the fear of anyone who heard it. Some of them even deliberately covered their ears and embraced in submission.“Brother!” Maryah grabbed Maftah's arm as Ma
"That woman! How the hell is she-”SHOOT! An arrow flies then stab her arm."ACK!" An arrow shot from the top of the building managed to hit the arm of the immediately furious woman.“HOW DARE YOU! I-ugh?”“Fuschia!” Dylan shouted loudly while struggling to untie the knots which were finally untied thanks to his monstrous strength, then he run.He slid down on the damp ground until his body was directly under Fuschia. With a 'thud' sound, he managed to catch Fuschia with his whole body which was deliberately used as a pillow."Fuschia," he called desperately as he started tapping gently on the woman's body. But only a groan of pain could be heard until the sound disappeared as her eyes closed.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught the movement of the soldiers on standby with their weapons.“STAND DOWN! EVERYONE STAND DOWN, OR ELSE!” Dylan threatened while driving his sword into the ground. He carried the unconscious woman into his arms.Dylan's hands have never trembled so much befo
"Hmm, isn't that because Sir Raymon has a heart for Sarah?"Hayden turns sharply to Laura. “What do you mean by that? What does all that have to do with it?”“Well, since you're about to bring Lady Fuschia back, doesn't that mean you're going to get rid of Sarah? I don't think Sir Raymon wanted that to happen because he liked Sarah. You know, a lot of people say when someone falls in love, he wants the loved one to be happy. Sir Raymon was like that too. He didn't want Sarah to be sad. Ew."“Is...that so? I don't understand such thinking. Why would someone want their loved one to be happy without being by his side? Isn't that ridiculous?"“A lot of people are like that. Perhaps, Sir Raymon included.”Hayden rubs his chin. If he thought about it again, it seemed that Laura's assumption was correct, because Raymon cared too much for Sarah, which he didn't usually do for other girls. Not even his own little sister.'Huh? So you love Sarah? How dare you?'"What about you, Laura? Do you mi
"Let's say, that's what happens when someone takes this position, lady."I can't believe what I just heard. Even my mouth is too bored to open every time I hear shameless remarks from a thick-faced human like him.I think that's exactly what the chair will do to those who sit in it. I have a first-hand experience with such an arrogant man. I regretted having assumed that the king of Haddad would be different from the authorities I knew before."Hah, sickening. I refuse. I don't need a doctor when I have Dylan." I clenched my fists with Dylan covering them.Dylan caught the meaning of my hand pressure. He prepared to launch an attack, as did I who had filled the room with my ice blade whose sharp tip stopped in front of the faces and necks of each knight, including the king.Honestly, it's not an easy thing to do as I have to control my strength so that those ice blades don't slide right through their eyes. I did this act just to scare them. Hopefully, they don't challenge us much. “L
I thought it was going to be a long time since I don't know how long I've been unconscious. When I arrived outside the building, the night had fallen so deep while when I arrived at the palace earlier, the sun was still up. The sound of the monster's howling and the screams of the people were barely heard.'Has time gone by so long?'My heart sank at the thought that I might be late. Even though I had deliberately exposed myself and used all my strength to kill all those big monsters to shorten the time I took Dylan, I got hit by an arrow instead. I shouldn't have been careless.But thankfully, I'm not late. Even though it was a stressful time.“Merri, I've brought Dylan here. You will be fine now!” I said excitedly as I wiped Merri's face which was wet with cold sweat.I don't know if I should be relieved or more worried about Merri's fluctuating body temperature. Before I went to the palace to find Dylan, Merri's body temperature was very hot. But now her body temperature was so col
As I buried my face in my hands, I seriously pondered how I should now get through this situation. If I just think it over, the answer would come out eventually. Yeah, maybe.“What should I do now?”I finally remove my hands from my face and looked up. There were Dylan and Pasha's sleeping faces in front of me. Both seemed peaceful with calm and rhythmic breathing, while I was still wide awake.Maybe it's because I've been unconscious for a while, so I still have energy stored even though it's not much. But it's a little sad because I was left alone. Even Tuyul and Mbayul seemed to be sleeping next to Merri's head.I watched Merri sleeping. This time her sleep seemed more comfortable without the painful groans that escaped her mouth from time to time. Her forehead was no longer frowning wryly. Her breathing was no longer rushed or so slowed. Her hands were no longer clenched. Her face also started to turn pink alive again.'Thank you.'There are no other words more appropriate for me
Maftah could only bitterly swallow the insults thrown at him by many people. Whether it's in the form of a curse to his face, or a small, insulting whisper. He felt it was all he deserved considering the mess he couldn't solve immediately.He knew it wasn't his fault. No one thought the monsters would break through Haddad's gates, not even the predecessor kings. This all happened because of the movement of nature that he could not predict. His brain knew that, but,'I'm not worthy.'But his heart sank in the belief that everything people said about him was true. That he carries a curse. Or he is not a king blessed by The Lord. So this calamity befell the Haddad Kingdom."Call Thebet over here," Maftah ordered a guard guarding the hallway of his room.Yesterday, he had a big fight with Thebet for the first time because of Fuschia. Maftah was furious when he thought that Thebet had misused his name to do something shameful to Fuschia. Namely planning the murder of two women and a baby.
“My world, how could they do that to you?! How dare they! Ack!” Merri patted her lower back. One side of her eye closed as she endured the sudden pain."Merri! Calm yourself first, your body is still fragile to carry the weight of that anger, geez, you are too stubborn to sit down.” I couldn't help but shake my head as I watched Merri grin innocently.This is why I hesitated to tell Merri everything that had happened while she was recovering. I knew she would get angry and that would be dangerous for her. Especially with the fireballs that suddenly appeared in the middle of our conversation, made me sigh even more heavily.I don't really know what kind of internal wound Merri had. I just believed what the doctor said that maybe Merri's spine had fractured. But seeing her able to sit back down, there seemed to be a slight error in the doctor's judgment.Or, Dylan's healing power was just that great. Anyway, I'm just thankful that Merri has come to her senses now."So, what are you goin
Tuyul is nowhere to be found.No matter how hard Mbayul and I searched for him, we could only conclude that Tuyul had left us. It's hard to accept that reality, especially when we don't say goodbye to each other.Mbayul and the other wandering fairies are still with us. They worked for me as a royal CCTV. They were the right creatures for the job because few could see them, even though many wizards had appeared now.Then, when Pasha was three years old, I learned Tuyul's last story."Mom, do you still remember Uncle Tuyul?"One night, Pasha asked about it.Pasha has excellent verbal skills at an early age, and he can already form complex sentences well, making it easier for us to converse. He also remembered some things about his childhood, when he was one year old.He even remembered the house in the middle of the forest that we once lived in in the Haddad Kingdom, and he also remembered our battle with the monsters. Therefore, it is not surprising that later those memories returned
It had not been six months since Dylan had served as the new king of Drachentia Kingdom, and he already held the title of 'Drachentia's golden wolf.' In that short time, he was feared by the kingdoms around Drachentia. Mainly because of his achievements in eradicating all the monsters and the remaining alchemist in Drachentia.Not only that, but he also paralyzed the illegal trade that occurred in Drachentia's sea. Without mercy. And it turns out that his actions have spread to shake the economic stability of other kingdoms in the vicinity, which have outsmarted Drachentia in terms of trade at sea.Then today was a big meeting with the diplomacy of the allied kingdoms, who were present for fear that Dylan would prey on their kingdom. As many people know that Drachentia is an archipelago kingdom, I think they are afraid that their kingdom will become one of Dylan's new islands.'But he's not that ruthless tho.' I smiled proudly at Dylan sitting beside me with a sinister expression.As
My second marriage ceremony.As Dylan requested, before the king's coronation ceremony, we had a wedding ceremony.Of course, a lot needs to be prepared for a royal family wedding, but since we want it to be done as soon as possible, the preparations are quite simple. After all, we want to be crowned husband and wife soon. So we don't think much about banquets and so on.I'm wearing a white wedding dress that looks as divine as the diamond sprinkles on top of it. When the sun's rays fall on me, my dress will twinkle.Why can there be such a beautiful wedding dress ready in such a short time? The answer is because of the enthusiasm of Laura and Mr. Andre, who had prepared the dress long ago, even when they didn't know when I could wear it. Likewise, with Dylan's wedding tuxedo.“Milady-oops, your majesty, you look so beautiful. You are like a goddess!”"Isn't she more like an angel because of her white dress?""Well, our lady can do both. Hohohoho~” Merri and the others had fun dressin
The day of Crown Prince Hayden's trial has finally arrived. The sky was a dull gray, and people flocked to the High Court to witness the historic trial in an uneasy mood. Their minds were in turmoil.Dylan and I sat on the witness stand. I could feel all eyes on us. I heard the whispers of the people behind us as they were the seats of the nobles."I'm here. Don't be nervous." Dylan whispered. Pulling up the nervousness I didn't realize ate up my consciousness.Even though I heard that Madame Luxor and Laura were trying to get a lot of news written in the newspapers in our favor, that doesn't mean everyone would necessarily believe all that. Especially the nobles who might be aiming for royal power through the royal family.More so when they heard their next king was a formerly enslaved person and a victim of alchemist experiments—not forgetting that I would also be their queen."Phew."The supreme judges entered the courtroom. I know one of the high judges who sit in the highest seat
After that great battle, I slept like the dead for two days. I pushed myself too much, so that's how it turned out.Meanwhile, Laura and Madame Luxor mobilized a lot of news media in the form of newspapers to write down everything that had happened overnight—starting from the reason for the rebellion led by the Luxor Family with the help of the Mountravven Family troops to my surprising appearance.Madame Luxor quickly prepared everything related to the news as she owned information guilds. So she has planted several reporters on the scene to capture everything that happened since the beginning of the battle.And as professional reporters they are, reporters get a lot of 'astonishing' pictures, which are then pasted in their newspaper headlines.From the picture of Hayden leading the monster army, then the picture of me using water magic, and the picture of the dragon in the sky that blessed Dylan and me. Of course, the last picture was the one that seemed the most implausible, except
I don't know what just happened. What I do know is that Dylan suddenly had Hayden's sword in his hand, and from that sword came a superpower(?) of a giant rolling circle that sliced through the monsters with a single numbness. Then because of that power, Dylan's energy seemed to be sucked in and made him fall limply into my arms.I panicked because I thought Dylan was about to die, but he was only limp for a moment. Because after that, we and some of the 'healthy' soldiers explored the temple.Of course, at the time, I also didn't know why people looked at us with amazement as they said that we received blessings from the dragon that stroked our heads with its feet.I don't even know anything about the dragon in the sky. But I think it might be Lord Drachen.Anyway, I met someone I almost forgot on the way to the temple."I'LL KILL YOU!" Sarah was about to jump at me with a vengeance, but her body was already being held back by the soldiers who followed us."It's all over, Sarah," I
"Where are you going, sir bastard?"Without hesitation, Merri engulfed Raymon's body with her smoldering blue flames.“AAAAAAHHHHH!” Raymon writhed in pain while screaming hysterically; then, his body was kicked by the grande monster.Merri smirked as she looked down at Raymon, who was flipping like a dying fish.Merri thought, 'Look, how easy it is to crush that bastard. If I were stronger since long ago, then Milady and my life wouldn't be this messed up.'"Merri?! What are you doing here?" Fuschia approached Merri, looking happy at the top of a tree.“Milady! I did it! I burn that bastard!”“Gre- great job, girl. But don't push yourself as you're still recovering, Merri."“Of course! Hahahaha, this is fun. What about you, milady? Uh? Your head is bleeding!” Merri almost jumped from her position to get closer to the flying Fuschia.That made Fuschia flustered. But then Fuschia calmed Merri down. “Calm down. I already drank that potion.”"Ah! The magic medicine, of course!”Fuschia s
Fuschia stared at the man in front of Madame Luxor warily. "Commander Hugh?"She recognized the man before as The Knight Commander of Drachentia, Hugh Connor of the Count Connor Family.Dylan frowned wryly then spoke in a low voice, "I should have made sure you died in my hands."The knight commander Hugh bowed his head as he faced Fuschia. He didn't raise his head as he spoke.“I… had time to come to the Crestine Hall. There I met Lady Laura and the survivors. Then I… learned the truth from her. So please, allow me to atone for my sin of stupidity, Your Highness.”Fuschia knew Hugh Connor as a knight loyal to the kingdom. His loyalty is shown by a devotion to the leader. He is known as the 'hunting dog' of the late king who has bitten many nobles or rebels who threaten the power of the late king.Like Hayden and Raymon, he was trained by the late king and the late general commander in swordsmanship. That was why the sword styles of the three were almost the same. So he has a good rel
“FUCHIA!”It was Dylan's voice. He emerged from behind the soldiers."Dylan!" Fuschia immediately raised her legs to shorten the distance between the two.The two of them ran at each other with their arms wide open.Amid a battle between monsters and humans that seemed like it would never end, Dylan and Fuschia hugged each other tightly.The whirlwind of their minds and the erratic beating of their heart were relieved by the familiar scent they breathed in on each other. The tight hug they shared at that time seemed to convey all the tiredness in their hearts and minds.Then, along with a brief kiss they shared, each of them killed the charging monster. Fuschia separates the head of the monster charging at Dylan with her ice saw, while Dylan rips the neck of the monster charging at Fuschia with his sword.Never before seen a romantic and horror moment happen in one frame. So many soldiers thought so and accidentally witnessed the scene.“What's wrong with your sword? Why are they so d
