Starvos immediately stood up on his seat. He frowned as he realized what was wrong with the suggestion that Mona gave. He immediately sat back down to his seat and sighed, “But I have to be going head on to the castle, alone right?” “This is what I want to ask you to do,” Mona said, as she tapped the cross that she had given to him, “If you hold to this cross, it will help you to connect with my magic. Meaning, I don’t have to be sticking close beside you to protect you. I can simply whisper a spell whenever I think you need and for you to use it.”“What do you mean?” Starvos was sure that this was Mona’s own way to shoo him off, as if to prepare him so he could go to the war. “I want you to go to the castle and capture the Duke,” said Mona at once, revealing her plan. “I can’t let those children suffer alone. Especially not Rose. Not her.” Starvos looked surprised by her words and confused, “What do you mean Rose will suffer?” Starvos saw how Mona immediately went silent. The woma
The master sighed as he finally looked into Rose’s green eyes after a long while of silence. He then asked, “Did you use any black magic yet?”Rose shook her head after a moment of silence. She didn’t remember using any black magic and the worse she had done was probably the small magics that she read from the books. The master trusted that Rose would never lie to him, knowing how she don’t know any black magic to begin with. But seeing how there was the black aura behind her, he could also tell she had somewhat started a black magic without knowing it herself. Rose nervously looked at the Master whose eyes kept studying her. She wrung her hands together, feeling a little anxious that the Master would turn her down. She knew that in this world, the master would perhaps be the strongest compared to everyone.His limits were humans and the oath his ancestors made but without that, perhaps it would be extremely easy for him to turn Essex into his own kingdom. If he reject her offer… s
Isaac walked down the empty imperial castle. He hummed a song, walking in a fluid movement as though he was dancing. His hands were kept lower, one circling half way and the other spread wide away from his shoulders. It almost appeared as if he was dancing with an invisible partner. He continued to close his eyes, walking down the staircase as in his head the song had began more intense. His feet moved faster and faster, his hand swinging his partner in a deeper curve as though he had let his partner down only to suddenly pull them back up. He only stopped once the music in his head had stopped moving. His eyes then turned to look at the bottom of the staircase where his left eyes had turned completely purple, unable to turn back to black which was his original eye color. “You are still insane,” spoke the creature standing right in front of him. “But that what makes you fascinating Isaac enough to gain my attention.” “Fascinating?” Isaac chuckled, “I gave you half of my soul, Nezu
Raindrops fell like diamond on top of his carriage. Dominic who had left the mansion to investigate the news he had just heard from his men was greeted to come back to today’s sky mourning on top of him. He sighed as the coachman jumped down from the driver seat of the carriage. He pulled out the umbrella and hovered it over Dominic before his master would get wet and ill. Dominic looked at the mansion, finding his room had been alighted, signaling that Rose was there. Dominic took the umbrella and looked behind, finding the unconscious Cain who he had just found. The man who is also his most trusted assistant had disappeared for weeks and was only found today as Dominic’s men finally reported to have found the wounded man. “I guess he does has a strong body,” spoke the man who had appeared beside Dominic. The young man’s eyes were silver. He is the man who his cousin, the King of Agios had lent to him. The man, although appearing younger than himself, was in fact the second best
It was a nightmare. It is a nightmare. There was no way this wasn’t a nightmare! Dominic felt his surroundings blur as he processed what Mona and Starvos told them. They both looked confused, wondering what Dominic meant by Rose and who she is. There was no way that they would suddenly play such an unfunny joke on him! But then everyone forgetting Rose wasn’t funny at all. “Where is Mr and Mrs Maury?” Dominic questioned for Starvos and Mona to look at each other. Anyone else would have forgotten Rose but there was no way for Rose’s own parents to forget her!“Didn’t you told me that Mr and Mrs Maury already left to Lady Victoria’s house?” Mona inquired for Dominic to sigh. Indeed, he recalled that two days ago Mr and Mrs Maury had left to take care of Josephine who had been found and kept away in his cousin’s house. “You two really don’t remember Rose?” Dominic’s face had gotten pallid which worried the two elders in front of him. They both shook his head, sinking his heart lower
Raindrops continued to cover Essex. Even though Essex rarely become a home for the raindrops, the past three days after Rose’s disappearance, the rain continued on as if it was mourning for the sudden turn of fate. Starvos sat out from the door, watching Dominic who appeared soulless as his back faced him. His son had locked himself in his room for days, as if to punish himself and Starvos didn’t know what to do as he couldn’t understand the reason why he had suddenly became sorrowful as though he had lost someone close to him.“If I have to guess, this must have something to do with the woman named Rose,” Mona whispered beside Starvos. The two people had taken a peek at Dominic from the gaps of the door, discussing the changes that occurred in Dominic in a mere night. At least, a night to them. “What? Are you telling me that he met a girl, fell in love with her, bring her home, and she suddenly disappear?” Starvos began his wild guess for Mona to shake her head. “I don’t know sill
Dominic who heard this creased his eyebrows. He took a moment to think of Mona’s words and finally saying, “So this person knows a lot about magic, right?” “Yes he does,” Mona confirmed at once, thinking this might be helping Dominic as immediately his face lit up. “How do we meet him?” He immediately questioned. “I have questions that I want to know from him.” “I can arrange for you to meet him. Not long ago I went to talk to him to discuss about the curse you were burdened with. He is an extremely kind person who can be talked with,” she spoke, turning around to see Starvos who tilted his head. “Although werewolves can’t really enter that place easily, so I would advise only one of you to come.” “Then I will stay,” Starvos said, knowing that Dominic is desperate to find this man who knows about magic, possibly for the woman named “Rose”.“Thank you Starvos,” Dominic responded at once. “I’m sorry that I would be leaving the burden to you as I leave the mansion.” “Don’t worry pro
The Master couldn’t blame Dominic for his suspicions. He could tell well how there was no one who had been good to Dominic without asking for a payment. This must be way he was on guard ever since he had entered the mansion. “I don’t need those,” The Master said with a small sigh of sympathy, “I could tell many people would ask you for a payment after they had helped you but I wouldn’t want to do that. At least not when you have suffered enough.”Dominic thought of how suspicious it was but didn’t have many people to ask for help as the master was the only person who could help him now. He asked, “I want to know about a magic that could erase one’s existence.”“The forbidden magic,” the Master said at once as if he had expected it. “Why do you want to know that?”“The person that I know have used it. Everyone had forgotten about her and I want to know if there is a way to reverse the magic,” He said in reply, clenching his hand under the table tightly. The Master settled his arms t
