Hayden caught the falling Fuschia. He felt how thin Fuschia's already tiny body was in his arms. The woman's body felt cold and weak. No matter how much he shook the woman's body, there was no response. Not even a flinch nor a twitch. Fuschia's body was too cold. Like a human body whose life was taken away.
At that thought, Hayden rushed to check Fuschia's breathing. He put his ear near Fuschia's nose. When he heard the soft sound of Fuschia's breathing, Hayden breathed a sigh of relief.
Strange. He didn't think he could feel relief to find Fuschia still breathing. He despises her after all, but!
Hayden still hugged Fuschia's drooping body tightly. Even though he often hugged her, he never really felt what it was like. So, this sensation was so foreign to him. He tried to channel the warmth of his body into the woman's cold body.
The maids who witnessed the scene were heartbroken. He is a Crown Prince of this kingdom but doesn't even care about vomit flui
It was hard to pinpoint exactly when Hayden received a slave as a gift from his father. As he recalled, he had owned the slaves since he was a child even before he really learned swordsmanship.One night, the king took him to a place in a deserted part of the palace. A small temple with a dungeon. When entering through the north door near a large tree that is almost dead, he will find stairs. And from that stairs, he traced the long darkness.Little Hayden tried to hold back his tears of fear when he was brought by the King to that place. He didn't understand why instead of a fun place like a hunting forest, or an alchemist laboratory, the king had brought him to this terrifying place instead. A place where monsters might suddenly appear.Little Hayden pressed his grip on his father's hand when he heard a cry emerge from within the long dark hallway. He was reminded of the ghost story that the servants in his palace were talking about. They said that in certain
Satisfied by venting his anger, Hayden returned to the surface with Raymon. It was always quiet around that small temple. No one dared to approach the territory because Hayden had marked it. Even if anyone was just curious, he would die the next day.Only a few exclusive servants knew of the prisoner's whereabouts.His face was covered in confusion. His movements became sharper. He refused to admit that he had missed something. Especially regarding Fuschia who loves him. The thought that he doesn't know if Fuschia has been playing with fire with another man burns his heart. 'No one can toy with her but me!'In his eyes, Fuschia was a woman who loved him deeply and not such a cheap woman. He had proven that fact many times before marrying her.“What have I missed, Raymon? Do you think Fuschia is that kind of woman?”"I don't know, I'm confused too, Your Highness. As far as I know and observe, the Crown Princess is not that kind of person
“I am… what?”Back to the present where Fuschia just woke up from her long sleep, then chatted briefly with two wandering fairies, and found her chambermaids kneel before her. Her stomach rumbled, and her throat was dry. But it doesn't matter!“I am… what again?”She thought a beautiful garden-like paradise with a golden dragon was her dream, but now she doubted that. 'What? Is this the dream?'Merri glances at the confused Fuschia. "Miss, I mean, Your Highness, the doctors said that you are in the early stage of pregnancy,"Fuschia had forgotten how to breathe before Merri gently stroked her back. "Haa... haa,"A sweet smile etched on her face. Not a forced smile that she often showed, but, a sincere smile.Fuschia felt the flower buds in her heart begin to bloom one by one. It was blue, purple, orange, pink, white, and gold. And together it was colorful like a rainbow. Then there is a colony of
Fuschia opened and closed her palms. She could feel the manna gathering in the middle.Thanks to a short lesson from Mbayul, she was able to transfer her manna to various parts of her body with ease. And the easiest thing is to collect them in the palm of your hand. Come to think of it, she rubs her stomach quite often without realizing it. That's why she thought that maybe this was the trigger for her quick pregnancy.Honestly, her pregnancy is still surprising. This was beyond human comprehension, even though it was a fantasy world in a novel. Fuschia is still contemplating whether is it true that there is manna involved in it or not? Or does manna harmful to the growth of the fetus?'Well, maybe you came earlier because you also wanted to meet me quickly, baby,' Fuschia rub her tummy cheerfully."Huh! Are you hungry again, human?” That annoying hoarse voice must be Tuyul's."Don't play hide-and-seek with me, hurry here, or there won't be a
'Where is your slave? Your substitutes! Why are you the one who keeps coming here?! I want my baby's father, you jerk!'Fuschia smiled spoiled at Hayden who immediately sat on the side of her big bed. Hayden tucked Fuschia's long hair to her ears. “Who are you talking to that you sound so excited?” Hayden's hand moved to Fuschia's thin cheek.Fuschia gripped the blanket tightly. 'This jerk...'It would be very dangerous if Hayden overheard their talk. Even though Hayden couldn't see Tuyul and Mbayul who were now circling his heads like fruitflies, Fuschia was still worried."Did you hear it? What did I talk to our baby about?”Hearing the word 'our baby' made Hayden's smile crack a little. That time, Fuschia witnessed it. "I didn't really catch it. So, what did you talk to him about?”“I told him that his life would be a happy one with me as a mother, and you as a father. I also said that I would take him around
That said, the Lanchaster Family was one of the few noble families that supported the Kingdom's economy during the monster outbreak about a hundred years ago. The wealth they have accumulated through international trade has managed to finance several improvements in several territories.Thanks to his contribution, the head of the Lanchaster family, who at that time was a Baron, was elevated to the status of a Count and given territory on the outskirts of Mountravven, by the King at that time.Even though the Lanchaster included Mountravven territory, the Lanchaster had their own power. They can collect taxes from their territory without being subject to ownership tax by the Mountravven family, as the main family in the territory. So far, the two families have good political and business relations.At least that's what it seems on the surface. The relationship worsened over time and worsened even more with the current head of the family.Duke Mountravven a
It was Friday night in the second week of this month. A gentleman's club located on the side of the capital's plaza was busier than usual. One carriage and another jostled each other to enter the mansion. Escort important men on the stage of high society.In this place, they will share information, be it business, politics, sports, even women. The information is exclusive only to important people to other important people. What made today even busier than usual was Duke Mountravven's presence among them.Duke Mountravven managed to occupy the highest position in the gentleman's club, replacing Marquees Elmand, a young Marquees who was handsome and successful in his warhorse business, who was also a big-time playboy. Rumor had it, there was no woman in the capital that he had not slept with except Fuschia Mountravven – Duke Mountravven's only daughter.And the maneuver that positioned the middle-aged Duke to a higher position shifting the young Marquees, wa
It was a warm morning. The scent of lilac flowers growing in the garden in front of my room's terrace calms my heart. Plus, I've been sleeping soundly for the past few nights. My head feels so light. I stroked my stomach. I hope my baby can feel this happiness.It was a warm morning. The right morning to practice my magic in the Green Lake like yesterday. I don't need to wear thick clothes because it's cold, nor do I need to bring a parasol because of the sun's sizzling hotToday, I will practice controlling wind magic particles so that I can fly using a broom-like in the Harry Potter movies. And at the same time, I'll search two wandering fairies who didn't report the progress of the task I gave them the other day and only ate blind salaries!Anyway, I was just thinking how pleasant this moment is, until, Hayden came to have breakfast together!'Unlucky. Why does he want to have breakfast together after we often eat dinner together?'"Isn't today
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
