“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.
