"Your majesty, I know I may sound so rude and disrespectful, but I have been noticing this for the past couple of days." Hamlet suddenly said, his eyes are locked to something outside the window of my chamber.
This room has this huge window, one or even two person could fit. This glass with golden edge window allows one to see the outside very clearly and easy.
One can even see some parts of the Lycto from here.
It serves as my watch tower, allowing me to see who entered and left the kingdom of Arcadia."What? What have you been noticing? You can just say it to me. And what are you even watching from that window?" I answered, standing up from my study table and walked towards him.
"Pardon my rudeness for saying this your highness, but I've been noticing that the prince and that lost child have been spending too much time together in the past few days. I don't know if it's just me, but I had a strange feeling about that." he said, still looking ou
Everything feels surreal. That's a fact and I hate this kind of feeling. Damn! This place, Shaun's identity and me being the only thing that could help him survive the curse on his bloodline. Crap. Am I still dreaming?"What are you doing here? Didn't my father told you that, Lycto is not a safe place, especially to a human with no markings of a lycanthrope?" a voice suddenly is heard from my back. "You're really one brave woman." I hurriedly stands up and dusted myself as I cleared my throat and took few steps backward, away from him. "And didn't your father taught you to not to invade anyone's comfort zones? Can't you see? I'm still not used to you, let alone your lycanthrope form." I said as I looked at him. He was in his lycanthrope form and it made my heart pound like crazy, it could burst out of my chest. His fur is a combination of brown and white. There's a streak of white fur in his chest and in his legs.Honestl
Everything is carefully planned out. It was perfectly laid out. Somehow, Priam calling for me like that feels odd and nerve wrecking. I had cold sweats and a trembling hand just by walking my way here."Pardon my intrusion." Austin said, "good day Priam and Silver. I hope you're both good. Anyway, here is the man." she said, pushing me to Priam and Silver.Priam and Silver just smiled to her and nodded their head as a response. Austin smiled in return and made her way to one of the couch inside and leisurely planted herself there, completely ignoring me. I could just shake my head and roll my eyes upwards. Austin really does makes me go silent sometimes."What did you call me for, Priam?" I said, walking into their side."Take a seat and we would talk." he said in a low serious voice as he guide me to the other side of the cabin with his hand.The cabin is not that small. It can accommodate nearly 20 people, I think? But from the ou
I never got scared, not once in my life. Even when I am fighting with the strongest beast in the forest, I never felt my heart racing nor my arms trembled. And I've always believed that nothing could make me, until today. But when father asked me those questions, my feet got cold, my hands trembled and I felt my heart pounding so crazy, it could burst out from my chest.He's suspicious of me, I'm sure of that. But decided to just let it go, like nothing happens. Just how long can I keep this act?"Prince Tyler." Hamlet got my attention when he suddenly spoke in front of me. "Hamlet. What are you doing here?" I said, looking at him.Hamlet smiled at me. And somehow, that smile didn't sit right for me. It feels... off. Almost like a smirk as he crossed his arms and stared me without saying anything. "Hamlet. Are you playing around with me?" I paused and raised my brow at him, "are you forgetting that I am the prince of this kingdom,
It is done. Only one remains. The fourth phase of Lycaea is one of the hardest phases of the ceremony. That's what I heard. The odd one should be able to control itself right from that moment to have a better chance surviving the last phase. Thankfully, I managed to survived. "Ow! ow! Can't you be a little more gentle?" I said complaining to the beautiful woman beside me. She tilted her head to one side looked at me with her fiery eyes. "Oh yeah?" she scoffed and even put the medicine harder than she already did. "I know Priam told you to spend the night in the forest, so that you could hunt for yourself the moment you changed and be used to the taste of different beast in here, right?“ she said nodding her head, her eyes glaring at me, poking holes in my body. "That's right! And I did manage to control it! Thanks to Nemesis and Wyre potion!" I said happily nodding my head like a child to her. She looked so pisse
"Your highness? Are you awake?" I heard a knock outside of my chamber. "Your highness?" I felt Austin rustling beside me and her brows keep on frowning to the sound of the knocks outside. I kissed her forehead and fixed the blanket covering her. "I love you.." I whispered and quickly stands up. I pulled the robe on my corner table and wrapped it around my body. All my clothes, necessities, this robe and other things that I would be needing are placed outside of my door every morning since the day I came here. Until I told them that I have my own two hands and feet to prepare what I need and I just want them to put it all here in my chamber. Thankfully, they heed my request. I fixed my hair and walked towards the table few meters away from my bed. Like I said, my chamber is as big as an average home in Orion. It's not that big, but it's certainly not small for just a person. "Come in." I said and sat down on the couch with
When my wife, the queen of this kingdom died decades ago, I've spent my days securing the safety of the kingdom as well as my son, Tyler. For some reason, the idea of being a second-rated king and leader of a wealthy and prosperous kingdom scared me too much. Too much that I have forgotten how to be a father to my son.My days since then was spend to do the duties I have as a king but never as a father. I was so focused on surpassing the late king. So bad that even being a father to my only child seems to be so impossible for me. And yet my son grew up into an amazing prince so fast I didn't get chance to watch him took his first steps, tripped on a flat surface, got dirty, cry, smile and laugh. I let my chance slipped in exchange to fulfill my desire. Lucas, my queen's younger brother take on the duties and role of a father to my son and I would always be so grateful to him for that. He was always there for Tyler, whenever I am not around. He gu
"WHAT!?" Loki exclaimed as soon as he heard me. He looked at me with a fiery eye with both of his hands placed in his hips. His brows create a thick straight line as he tightens his jaw. I exhaled. Didn't know what to do, I placed my hands on his shoulders as I pulled him down to sit."Relax. He didn't do anything. Can't you see? I'm really okay," I said tapping him by his shoulder.Loki tossed my hand away and clicked his tongue as he looked at me with disbelief plastered real hard on his face. "Did you know what could've happen if Veto turns out to take you on!?" he shouted. "You would die a pitiful death! You won't even stand a fight with him!" "Loki... " Priam said in a low quiet voice. "Veto would never hurt Shaun. He won't not until the last night of Lycaea, that's for sure." Loki looked at his father, "What!? Are you telling me to let it slide just because of that reason!? Shaun would've died!" he said, point
"What!?" Austin exclaimed as soon she heard what Shaun have said. "You want to proceed with the Lycaea, gain that power and kill me Are you out of your stupid and empty mind!?" she angrily said as he put on her clothes and fixed herself. "What!? What do you think of me!?" Shaun answered, "Do you think I can do that to you?" he said reaching for the woman's arms. Austin's expression softens as she exhaled and sat down on Shaun's bed. "Just explain everything to me. What do you mean of going along with the ceremony?" she said. Shaun sat down beside her and pulled her closer to his side, "I only meant it as an act." he said. "We have to make Veto and his ally to believe that I really lose my control over you, gave in to my temptation and in the end, killed you with my own two hands. We have to make them lower their guards for our plans to be successful." he said stroking the woman's hair down gently.Austin put her arms around Shaun's waist as she rests h
