"Don't you think that our kingdom was cursed after His Majesty's reign? Talk about those monsters, ugh, it gives me a headache.""That may be so. In his reign, suddenly our kingdom was attacked by those damn monsters. Whereas during the reign of the previous king, we were free from monsters.”“Uhm hey, could the rumors be true?”“What rumors do you mean?”“That the current King does not have the blessing of our ancient lord. That's why his leadership even brought havoc in our kingdom.""Oh, darn. No one knows what more catastrophe will threaten this kingdom after those disgusting monsters, haaa.”The nobles who had been present at the venue for the donation event organized by Haddad's Royal Family made their own circles. Some circles were made up of a group of young nobles, some were from the old aristocratic class. The ladies also helped form their own circle, and some have blended into the circle of the gentlemen.From the several circles that were created, their conversation has no
Fuschia moves to the side while people's attention is still on the pair. With her breath starting to feel heavy, Fuschia tried to close the distance from Dylan. Every inch she prayed and prayed. That all this is just a fabrication.'Yeah, this must be just a trick. What was Dylan up there for? Surely the king had threatened Dylan with our lives on the line so he had to fulfill his game. Look at him. He seemed forced to be up there. Though his smile was so beautiful, he couldn't do it because of them. It's sickening.'The empty tray she was carrying began to fill with empty glasses placed by the nobles. Her movements were so neat and effortless as she handed the tray full of empty glasses to other servants. Then she changed to carrying a tray filled with tiny cupcakes. 'Is that why they told me that Dylan was dead when he is very much alive? For this purpose? I don't understand what kind of political fight the king is going through, but does Dylan's presence that important?'Fuschia s
Dylan ruffled his hair. He spun around on the spot muttering something incoherent. He is in rage, then on the verge of crying. His emotions are so mixed. And they are all overlapping bad emotions. If he doesn't control it, he will destroy everything around him to vent his bad feelings.Including the woman who was sobbing on the floor in front of him right now, Maryah.“Why are you the one crying? I should be the one crying!” Dylan's roar made Maryah gasp."I don't have time. I have to get out of here.” Dylan was about to leave the room, but his hand was held by Maryah's grip."Please, don't go. Listen to me first. Listen to us first." Maryah swallowed her tears. With a hoarse voice, she tried to stop Dylan from leaving."Let me go. I can be rougher than this.” Dylan's warning came out from between his gritted teeth and drained Maryah's spirit.Maryah still gripped Dylan's hand tightly with both hands. But she also realized that this grip would be meaningless if Dylan rejected it. True
Dylan pulled the wooden sword over his head with one hand, then sent a blast of energy that split the wind. All eyes that watched felt the powers build up as Dylan struck. He didn't care how the condition of the opponent in front of him who had more than 'lost' to him. What his body wanted at that time was to split and divide.Unseen to the common man's eyes, Dylan was splitting his bad memory about the night of the donation event the other day.'Fuschia...'How his memory suddenly returned in one sweep, and the first emotion he felt was happiness as all his doubts had been answered. Even a genuine smile appeared on his face. But then it was as if he had been drenched in icy cold water as he realized how late he is to remember Fuschia.‘If only my memory came back faster, maybe Fuschia wouldn’t leave?’ Dylan clenches his jaw as he strikes another big blow to his opponent.He winced in pain. He regretted not recognizing Fuschia's water magic in the form of rain that he had seen the oth
"Good morning, Merri! Hihihi.""Ack! Gosh, milady? Wha-what happened?” Merri sat up instantly. With her eyes still half-open, and a trace of drool on the edge of her mouth, she created her two signature red fireballs as if they were about to strike.Pssh. Unless I extinguish both of them with my water magic."Wakey, wakey, it's morning already." I caressed Merri's cheek. She may be older than me but her cuteness is still so valid!It was so refreshing to see Merri just waking up from her slumber. I don't think it's useless for me to wake up earlier than usual. Haha.“Bu-bba! Hwahwa- huu bba!” Pasha also cheered Merri who was still confused on her bed."Uh-huh? Nothing happened, milady? I thought there's a danger when you wake up this early." Merri sounds like sarcasm to my bad habit of waking up late."Yup. Nothing happens.""Oh lord, it's an honor for me to be woken up by milady and young master, hehehe."We rented a small house not far from the hotel we had stayed in for a few days
"What...is this?" I saw my hands shaking as I crumbled the paper.I thought I had lived like an ordinary person who had common problems. But the assumption was wrong. My life is still like a plot in a book that must have conflict as an entertaining element in it. And it won't be solved until the signed book is over.But haven't I finished my role in this damn book? Then what else does this world want from me? Who should I blame?My jaw trembled when I clenched it. My heart is rumbling wildly asking me to immediately leave this place. So I stood up, but my legs were numb.Klontank! Tang! As I try to prevent my fall, my hand presses on the table that can't hold my weight. Instead, I knocked down the table as well as my body flopped to the floor. Plates and glasses fell and shattered. The shards scattered over a large area. When I tried to lift myself, the shards pierced several areas of my body, mostly my hands."Lady? Please don't move in a hurry, let me clean up the shards first." A c
After I entered the house, my eyes moved around the area of the room to find Merri's whereabouts. But the room was left dark with all the windows closed with curtains, and the lights not turned on. Even so, I can still distinguish the moving objects in front of me as I'm used to the darkness underground.But many times I looked around the room, I couldn't find any human movement. As expected, I will be taken into the deeper area of the house. Usually, they kept the captives in the deepest part of the house, whether it was a cellar, warehouse, or bedroom. Merri must be somewhere inside.Tack. tick. Tack. tick. The sound of the clock ticking in the dark seemed to remind me that I didn't have much time to wonder.I glanced at the man who had been in front of me but was now beside me. I think I've been standing for quite a while in front of the closed door, while the man in front of me doesn't continue in his footsteps. When I was about to ask why he had stopped walking, I heard foots
“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
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
