“We went a couple of rounds and being your first time, it might have caused some discomfort. I-I may have gotten too rough with you.”Ruby saw that Eric’s ear turned red. She thought was he blushing. Shaking her head that this wasn’t true. The man from last night didn’t like her, he hated her, and he rape her.Eric wanted to say that because of his desire for her, he wasn’t able to contain himself. When he finally had her, he lost control. His eager for her kept him wanting more. He went at her like a hungry wolf. He still wasn't satisfied yet. He clenched his hand at the thought of taking her again.However, Eric knew that it was just his desire. He doesn’t love nor care for her. Everything between them is over.Ruby didn’t budge.“You’re not going to drink it?”“Did you poison it?”“What?”“Well, did you?” asked Ruby looking curiously at him.Eric was irritated by her question, and he drank the tea. He didn’t swallow. Staring back at Ruby, he scooted her to him. Grabbing her chin, he
“Why didn’t you drink the tea I been sending you?”Ruby didn’t respond.“Well?” asked Eric.“Because you didn’t feed me,” said Ruby.“Pardon?”“You heard me.”Eric frowned and asked, “What are you playing?”Ruby smirked as she thought, “There he goes again. Thinking I'm up to no good when it's him.” Annoyed, she sighed and walked past him.“I didn’t mean it that way," said Eric trying to stop her from walking away from him. “Then what did you mean?” asked Ruby, turning to look at him.“Why would you all of a sudden want me to feed you?”“To make sure you didn’t put anything funny in there.”“So, you still think I poison the tea.”“Of course, you hate me from the bottom of your heart, so anything is possible.”Eric’s frown deepened. He knew it was true. He hated her. After all her hurtful words, he found he despised her even more. It gave him more reasons to not like her. It’s also true that he ended up using her to fulfil his pleasure, but it was not intentional. She slapped him. He
"Ruby?" asked Eric. He looked around but she was nowhere to be found. "Here I am," said Ruby, popping up behind him. "Where did you go?" "What do you mean?" "I been calling you for the past ten minutes." "I was out picking up more herbs." "Oh." Eric looked at her baskets full of herbs. He asked, "Do you often picked up herbs?" "Pardon?" "Well, you seem to be gone every morning, so I just thought maybe you like herbs or something." "Um, well... There's not much to eat, so I just picked whatever I find in the forest and cook them with what I have. They're not all that bad." "Of course not. I just thought you were also collecting them to study for medicine as well." "I do." "Of course, you do." Eric leaned in to try to kiss her. However, she decline. He thought it was strange, especially what they have the other night, he thought she would actually accepts him. "Please, Prince Eric. I'm not Samantha." Eric frowned at her comment. "What does she have to do with what is go
“Ruby,” said Eric. “You should plead guilty and take your punishment.”“What would my punishment be then?” asked Ruby nonchalantly. “You are to break both your arms and legs, and-”“And?”“Exile.”“Breaking my arms and legs to render myself trash, huh, what a fair punishment,” said Ruby, nonchalantly. Through all these years, his hatred for her have never ceased. His true hatred have finally been revealed as to what he wanted to do to her. Make her a complete trash. This is his true intent for causing pain to his lover. Eric was going to make her suffer for it. Aching pain hits her in the chest. Ruby walked up to the Emperor and continue saying, “What about those who cheats on the life and death battle? What is their punishment?”“What is this brat gibbering about?” asked Duke Wild.“Punishment for cheating in the life and death battle is cutting off their limbs,” replied the Emperor.“Then what about lying to the Emperor?” question Ruby who was rather calm. “Death by beheaded.”“T
"Did the prince really set her up?" whispered someone from the crowd."Was it planned by the both of them?" asked another.Eric’s eyes widened as he heard the comment. "Samantha is really out to get Ruby, even when she cheated," said a plump man. “That Samantha Wild is too full of herself. She’s so jealous of another woman’s beauty that she set out to destroy her. She’s so wicked she deserves to be a trash,” said a woman from the Tortoise Clan.“Enough! Lies! It’s all lies!” Shouted Duke Wild.“Oh, so I’m still lying?” asked Ruby.“My granddaughter will never result to such a despicable act!” shouted Duke Henry.“Even after I presented the truth, you still call me a liar," said Ruby with fire burning in her eyes."You-""You should be preparing her to receive her punishment. She is your LYING granddaughter!""YOU-""Humph! She's so caught up in her act that she's forgotten what's real and what's fake. Her acting skills is so good that she got nearly everyone to believe her. But I thi
“Weak,” she whispers.Eric tilted his head towards her as he heard her quiet comment. Because he have good hearing, he was able to hear her mock Mile's spiritual power. Thinking what special ability does she have to go against Master Miles. He was interested to see what it was. He smiles as he couldn't wait to see what his woman is going to do.Ruby pulled her zither from her space ring. She started to play her zither. As the song started to echo throughout the palace, she sang along with the music. She looked gorgeous and radiant. As everyone was admiring her beauty, Eric too was caught up in her lovely face. Eric thought, "Here I was thinking that I would be able to move on. What a fool I was." He stared at her, admiring her gracefulness and elegance. Ruby's hand moved swiftly with the tempo of the music and her voice was enchanting. She looked so beautiful as she played her zither. "My woman," whisper Eric. Eric thought, "That's right, she's my woman." Kevin, who heard him, star
Eric chuckled quietly of his stupidity. So, this was her real reasoning for leaving him after they came back from Curse Land. Eric clenched his hands as he thought of why Ruby didn’t tell him. Why did she make him think that she was looking for other men? Why wasn’t she honest with him that she was on a mission? That she was looking for traitors in the four clans? Was he so unreliable that she didn’t trust him? His heart ached at not having Ruby’s trust.Eric looked at her with melancholy eyes. “Yes, Emperor,” said Ruby.“As a man of my words, I shall grant you your two wishes. Let’s hear what your wishes are,” said the Emperor.“My first wish, please annulled the engagement of Prince Eric and me.”Eric was shocked as he heard Ruby’s wish. He was in disbelief that she made such a request. Just over this little misunderstanding she went and cut off their engagement. Sadness overcame him.“Withdraw the engagement?” questioned the Emperor with his right eyebrow raising at Ruby. “Yes," a
Eric’s eyes was full of anger and contempt.Ruby wasn’t sure why he was mad at her, when it should be her who is mad at him. He was the one who falsely accused her and even tried to break her limbs.Annoyed Ruby walked past him.“We need to talk,” said Eric. His face remains emotionless and his voice stern.Ruby kept walking as she didn’t care to talk with him.Eric grabbed her, but she pulled away from him.Ruby saw a hint of hurt in his face. She smiled inwardly. She was happy that Eric was in pain. His face was priceless. She wanted him to regret and that is exactly what he’s showing her right now. He was finally feeling the agony of being used and thrown away. She wants him to live in sorrow for the rest of his life, a body without a soul."Please," said Eric. Ruby didn’t respond. She just looked at him with annoyance. She attempted to take a step past him, but he stepped in front of her. She pushed him, but Eric shook his head at her. No matter what she did, he kept blocking her.
“Now, we got to think of a name for him.” “Right now?” “Yes. Better now than later.” “Well, we got a week left.” “What about the name Aaron Thompson?” “Aaron?” “Yes. I feel like he’s our little miracle.” “Alright. I like that name.” Just as she finished saying her words her stomach felt sharp pain. She grunted in pain. “Ouch. Eric, Eric, something is wrong.” “What-What’s wrong?” “I don’t know.” “What are you feeling?” “I don’t know. My stomach is squeezing tightly together.” “What? What does that mean?” “Fairy Princess is going to have the baby.” “WHAT!” exclaimed Eric. He was panicking. “Ouch, it hurts so badly.” “Hold on, Fairy Princess.” “You’re having contractions? Now?” questioned Eric with worries in his voice. He looked around as they were far away from the palace. “Eric, I think the baby is coming,” grunted Ruby. “Sh*t,” said Eric. “Come on. Let me carry you back.” He lifted her in his arms and ran towards their room. “Fairy Princess, Fairy Princess, hold o
It was early morning, and they took a stroll by the lake. “Eric?” questioned Ruby. “Yeah,” answered Eric. “Um, what of Samantha?”“Her, don’t you worry. She’s wallowing in her own madness.” “Oh. Well, I hope never to see her again.”“No. You won’t see her anymore.” Eric smiled at her. “Good. I want her to be in the same darkness she put me through. Even as a child she put me made me suffer through so much.” Ruby clenched her fists tightly.“I will help you wash away all of those bad memories with all of my love. I have so much more love to give you and our child.”"I know.""Know that I will protect your, our child, and our family." Ruby nodded. “Oh. By the way, what happened to Henry?”“He’s locked up in the cell. The emperor was so angry at him that he chopped off all his limbs. Now he’s just a body, awaiting death. I also gave him the hot and cold poison,” answered Eric. “And I cut off his tongue, so he can’t curse us.” “Oh. Well, that’s good. I want him to suffer for what h
They all started walking back to the palace when all of a sudden Ruby started feeling lightheaded. She lost vision for a few seconds and collapsed.Eric, seeing her, caught her in his arms. “Ruby? Ruby?”“What’s wrong?” asked Empress Dowager.Ruby shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I’m just exhausted.”“Are you sure?” asked Eric.“Ruby are you positive child?” asked Empress Dowager.“Yes. I’m quite positive,” answered Ruby.As they all got back to the palace, the Emperor shouted, “Let’s have a feast tonight! Everyone from the young to old, rich to the poor. Come join us. Let’s all celebrate!”That night everyone from all over the Dragon Empire came to join the party.Ruby sat next to Eric. Eric held her hands in his. He kissed her hand. She smiled sweetly at him.“What do you feel like eating?”“I don’t know.”“What about fish?”One of the maid brought over a steam fish.Ruby smelling the fish started to gag. She had the feeling of wanting to throw up.“Ruby? What’s wrong?” asked Eri
The sky started to clear. The dark clouds disappeared, and it became bright again. The sun came through the clouds shining brightly at them.They both sigh as Chaos is defeated.“What’s that noise?” asked Ruby.“Yeah. It’s so loud,” said Eric.There were loud cheers and applause as they took down the destruction of earth.“YESSSSSSS!” screamed Theo.“Well done, my boy!” shouted the Emperor.“That’s my grandson and goddaughter!” exclaimed Empress Dowager. “I mean she’s my granddaughter-in-law.”“They did it! They did it!” shouted Kevin.“Whoo-hoot!” shouted Zachery.John applauded loudly.They both landed on the ground and their spiritual powers disappeared behind them.“So, the golden dragon and the phoenix won Chaos and brought another era of peace on earth,” said the Emperor.Ruby and Eric nodded.Everyone was cheering and hugging them.“Sister-in-law,” said Elijah.“Eric,” said Adian.Both of them hugged them as well.Crackle. Crackle. Something was emerging from the wall. The blac
Everyone looked into the sky and saw a huge cloud of black mist. It’s eyes was white like the horrendous beasts.“It’s Chaos,” stuttered William.“How are we doing on that black hole?” asked the Emperor.“We’re nearly there. I nearly got it,” said William.“Hold yourself steady and closed that portal so that Eric and Ruby could focus on Chaos.”“Yes, your majesty.”Eric and Ruby both jumped up into the sky.Eric changed, “Come forth my Golden Dragon.”Out of the sky came a humongous golden dragon, shining brightly in the sky. His whole body was covered in gold. His claws was enormous, and his teeth was sharp and glistering.“Wow,” exclaimed Ruby.“Yeah. I know right. This thing took me a few years to master.”“Oh. Same with my phoenix.”“Now, let’s take down this Chaos, shall we?”Ruby nodded.Chaos summoned out a wrath of black clouds and started to shoot it at them.“Dodge it,” said Ruby. Her phoenix spiral passed the black clouds. “One shot,” shouted Ruby. Her phoenix shot out a hy
Many people from the capital who saw her was crying at the raw power Ruby was wielding. Tears were dripping down their faces as they admired the beauty she displayed. Some were weeping at her elegance. Some choked on their spit as they gulped at her goddess appearance. Some were admiring Ruby’s magic and her phoenix’s spiritual power. “Fairy Princess!” shouted Tabitha. “Go RUBY!” shouted Duke Slow. “You can do it!” shouted Empress Dowager. “That’s my woman,” smiled Eric. “The phoenix! The phoenix’s power lives!” shouted Duke Leopard. Rupert also summoned his magic to help lift the forcefield faster. He chanted away hoping that he can aid in her assistance to take down the wild beast. Many of the wild beasts stop in their track as they know who was floating in front of them. Some who dares challenge her dived at her. “Take down!” said Ruby. She flew high up into the sky and came down whooshing through everything. As she glided down the wind blew massively around them. Trees
“No. No. Please, let me atone for the sins,” cried Eric.“Eric, I love you,” said Ruby.Theo’s eyes was full of tears as this scene reminds him of when Ethan died protecting him. “No! I will not let this happen again!” He ran over to Henry and smacked him hard across the face. He fell down onto the ground. Grunting in pain as he rubbed his cheeks from the hit.Eric, hearing the commotion, turned around. “Grandfather?”Theo pinned Samantha’s father down on the ground and smashed his face into the ground. “You open this right now, or I will kill you!” He pushed his face harder into the ground.“Ahh. Help father. He’s trying to suffocate me,” cried Samantha’s father.“You dare threaten my son!” shouted Henry.“Do it or I will make you suffer miserably before you die. You know I can!” exclaimed Theo.Samantha’s father, being the coward he is, started trembling. He nodded his head in agreement.Eric ran up to Henry. He kicked Henry hard in the stomach so that he coughed up blood. He lifted
Soon the people started forming a line. The women and children and elderly were separated into a pile and move to safety. The ones who could fight and defend took a weapon in their hand and stood in front of the capital’s gate. Duke Henry who was watching Ruby was trying to isolate her from Eric, so he could trap her with the beasts. He was going to watch her get annihilated by the beast. He was going to make sure that she dies miserably as she have ruined his life. FLASHBACK Last week she and Eric came to strip him of his title. They watched as he got kicked out of his own home. Because he once served with the previous Emperor, he didn’t have to go to jail, but was humiliated by living in a shabby home. His whole family had to move to a poor and broken town. He was placed as a normal citizen until his trial started. He was criticized for his wrongdoing. He was sat on every single day by those who walked past him. Some of them threw vegetables and rotten fruits at them. Some even t
NEXT FEW WEEKS“Prince Eric,” said Simon.“What is it?” asked Eric.“There are animals running rampant lately.”“What’s the cause?”“I-I...”“What’s wrong?”Kevin was running up to Eric. “Eric, there are some strange looking creatures running through the forest,” panted Kevin. “What kind of strange looking creatures?” questioned Eric.“They’re very horrendous looking. They don’t look like any of the normal animals we usual see.”“What?”“Chaos is near,” said William who walked in on them.“How long?” asked Eric.“Soon.”“That quick, huh,” said Kevin.“Are you two almost ready?” asked William, as he looked at Eric and Ruby.“Yes, we are,” said Ruby. She grabbed Eric’s hand and held it.“Then we must prepare for the worst.”They both nodded.“Report,” shouted Zachery.“What is it?” asked Eric.“There is a black hole emerging from the eastern border.”“What? What is it?”“We’re looking into it right now as we speak.” “When it appear?”“Half an hour ago.”“That would time it to when t
