“Oh, f*ck you, Lord Drachen.” I scoff at him annoyingly. And of course, I also raised my middle finger right in front of those big eyes. Tch, it's not like he knows the meaning to get offended.The dragon tilted his head while blinking hard with his big eyes. It kinda creeps me out when he acts cutely with those big paws that hoe the ground where he landed. For a moment, he didn't say anything and just stared at me. Then I heard him clear his throat."I know what the middle finger means, child.""Oops."I leaned against the tree. My feet were stretched out on the soft pile of gold leaf. I closed my eyes while saying,“Send me back. I can't stay in this place for too long, you know why tho."There's Merri I haven't found yet. I wasn't even sure if Merri was all right. From Sarah's face, I caught her determination to get rid of me and her. Completely. Maybe even, when I was unconscious like now, she was digging a grave to bury me alive. And now without my magic, I would be buried alive
Sarah was stunned. Her heart raced to compensate for the fear that suddenly gnawed at her soul. With a single breath, she tried to control her expression. But Fuschia had caught the chaos in her heart first.'She lies.'She couldn't understand how Fuschia knew the storyline that only existed in her dreams. A dream that came to her to give her a vision of the future. Which she considers a miracle for her special self. Yes, Sarah has always thought of herself as a special being because of her ability to dream of the future.'What the heck? How is she- no way, no way.'But today, her confidence was flicked.No one knew that version of the story, not even Hayden who was involved. Coupled with the story about her being sold by her drunken father to a bookie. It was a disgrace she had viciously buried with the people involved in the incident. She killed everyone who knew about it.She did that so Hayden wouldn't smell her dirt.But it seemed that there was still a wide-mouthed rat that had
“Haaarrrgggghhhh! Die!” Sarah lifts her sword and swung it hard toward me. The look in her eyes is not like a human anymore, but that of a monster.'Damn it!' Everything happened so fast even though I had just gathered the manna that was starting to return to my surroundings. I still need a few more seconds!"Human, now!""Tuyul??" My heart jumped when I heard his voice.Tuyul snatched Sarah's necklace. At that instant, abundant manna particles surrounded me.I don't know how Tuyul suddenly appeared here, or where he went after snatching the necklace. But as soon as I saw the necklace fall off Sarah's neck, I created an ice arrow which I immediately shot at Sarah and her two men.That gave me just enough time to cut the knots of rope that bound my hands and feet with the sharp blades of ice. I crawled quickly towards Merri while continuing to shoot the three of them with arrows non-stop."Ack! What is this?!""Where did this arrow come from?!""Witch! She's a witch! Ack!”"Hurry and p
This is such a cliché scene. But there is always a reason why cliché scenes are still loved by fans.Hayden appears at a time when Sarah is in danger. Reminds you of many stories that describe how a princess can escape all her problems just by the presence of a big and charming prince. That scene was always right before the princess lost her life. Oh, how lucky Sarah is.I'm really sick of all the repetition going on in this world that keeps me from getting rid of it. As if like each of these characters must obey the classic rules in fairy tales. Where now, I became the villainess, again."Fuschia?" Hayden called my name again. His voice trembled with a hint of tenderness like someone who missed me.Oh, how I want to rip out that mouth that speaks my name. Oh, how I want to gouge out his eyes that see me.“... You're... alive? I-I'm glad."This time, I'm not going to waste time by being surprised or replying to his words with sarcasm. Everything Hayden said was bullshit. Well, even if
Inside the red fenced house, people gathered in the living room. There was one thing that stood out the most that they had never encountered in any other family living room, and that was the high ice wall that separated them from the woman inside.Merri.She was still lying in the same place with Tuyul. A wall of ice surrounds her that Fuschia created to protect her. Even though it was made of chunks of ice, it didn't feel cold inside at all.While lying inside, she heard Tuyul's chatter about many things – which she had not listened to for a while. Instead, she replayed Fuschia's story to Sarah about a certain book.'It's hard to believe that Sarah is Knight Sergey.' Merri thought sadly. She wouldn't have known this fact if Fuschia did not need to distract Sarah.Merri contemplated in pain. She had heard the story of her lady returning from the past, but this story? She had never heard of it or even speculated.Her lady wasn't lying when she told Sarah about it. She thought it was no
In the afternoon inside the oval room of the Haddad Royal palace.After a long day, Maftah took a sip of the glass of water that had been on his desk since morning. The waiters haven't had time to refill the glasses because Maftah hasn't taken a sip of the water all day. But now they can be a little relieved because finally, their king quenched his thirst.Their next mission is for their king to take the time to eat even if only a mouthful. Because as far as they know, since the king and his close aides returned from a subjugation mission in the harbor area last night, their king hasn't eaten at all. The reason is that he has no appetite considering the various calamities that his subject going through.But even that mission was unlikely to be accomplished soon as they saw Sir Thebet and Sir Tarek rush into the oval room. There must be important and urgent news whenever two close aides run around like that."Another?" Maftah massaged the nape of his neck."Yes, Your Majesty. It's diff
When I got home, there were already Mbayul and Pasha playing together on the bed. Both were equally surprised to see Merri come home in such a condition. Yes, even Pasha burst into tears when he saw Merri lying limp on the bed. He cried for a long time until he fell asleep.Tuyul said that there was a doctor among the people I saved so he helped provide first aid for Merri. The doctor also left a note for me about Merri's condition. He said that Merri's spine had fractured. And she had to be operated on immediately because if she didn't, it was feared that the fragments of the fractured bone could scratch the arteries in her body.It is a dangerous condition.Luckily Merri is a wizard. So that unconsciously, the core energy in her body absorbs manna as a support for her injured body condition. It's the same with me who instinctively absorbs manna into my body to suppress the pain from the wounds I received on my face and legs. Even though it was still swollen and cut, I could bear the
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
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
