★★★ Gabriel got off the bed and went to the bathroom and Elsa followed behind him. Gabriel helped Elsa to rinse her hands while she couldn't make eye contact with him because she was afraid of being teased. Elsa got out first and went to bed to sleep. She wanted to avoid him tonight or he would make the situation awkward. And the shameless king would not hold his mouth under any circumstances. “Don't sleep!” And Elsa heard him. She bit her inner cheek and cursed her damn luck because nothing was going as she wished. “Your Grace, I am feeling sleepy. Can we talk in the morning?” Elsa said with fake yawning. Anything could work for her at this moment she would do. “Sweet lips, I have something to give you,” Gabriel said with a smirk as knew why his woman was so eager to hide under the sheet. Ergo, he didn't bring it up. Elsa made her eyes big from the so-called sleepy and turned to him. “What?” Elsa asked curiously. She saw him walking toward the cupboard and it was her cupboard,
★★★As the day broke through the royal curtain, Elsa groaned at those glaring rays that fell upon her face. She outstretched her hand, twisting her body, and touched the place beside her to feel the man. But it was empty and warm because of the early sun. She sat up and looked at her bedside. And it was vacant, like always.“Your Grace!! Are you awake?” Elsa heard her maidservants outside the door. She released a sigh, gathered her hair, and tied it with a hair tie before answering them.“Yes, coming!”Elsa moved her lazy feet and went to open the door. Johana and Rihana stood with the tea tray and waited until they saw the door open.“Good morning Your Grace, how’s your sleep?” Rihana greeted and bowed with respect. Johana did the same. Elsa smiled and asked them in.“Your Grace, we will help you bathe. Please have your tea first,” Johana said and poured a cup of tea with healthy herbs. She gave the tea a good stir along with a sugar cube and came to Elsa, who was sitting in the chair
★★“Your Grace, please wait in the tea garden. We will make a tour to inform Ser Gramson about your wish to visit His Majesty,” said Johana and put forth sensible advice with several huffs. Elsa, on the other hand, lifted her skirt with both hands and wandered her eyes in search of Gabriel.She heard nothing. All her sense was searching for Gabriel. She made her way to the court with her maidservants behind her. Her breath was rapid and her heart was scared as the thing got cleared that something had happened last night and that was why Gabriel gave her that knife.“Lady Elsa," Rihana called out in panicked steps. Because they couldn't enter the courtroom without permission or make a scene. Otherwise, they would be punished heavily.But Elsa wasn't in the mood to hear any warnings. She decided she would talk to Gabriel and she will. Her steps were almost near the court when Gabriel, Reth, and Gramson came out.She stopped in the distance, and so did Rihana and Johana with their head do
★★★“No, help me, Gabriel,” Jennifer begged Gabriel, who caused her pain. If she tried to see the truth, she would know how groundless her dream was.“You should be mindful before utter things about someone when the person holds the place far higher than you,” Gabriel spat his anger out to Jennifer with his words because he couldn't kill her now but that didn't mean he couldn't kill her later.“Higher! Haha! When does a maid's position become grand than a princess's? Your Majesty, you must know the difference between a prostitute and royal blood. She will give you the filthy heir,” said Jennifer with a piercing tone, just the way she thought about Elsa, a low, soiled human whore.Gabriel took out the sword from its sheath and made his way toward the cage. There would be no discussion, no trial, only blood he wanted. If his move called a war, then he was prepared to bloody the kingdoms, but Jennifer did not deserve a second to live.“Your Highness, no,” said Elsa, and grabbed Gabriel's
★★“How did she turn into a werewolf? What happened last night, Your grace?” Elsa asked while walking to the front side of the castle with him.“I didn't know. It was Carl who had brought her to us when we were attacked by werewolves and a cunning witch,” Gabriel answered patiently, walking to the tea garden.“Are they your enemies? And where I was at that moment?” asked Elsa, heading the way he was taking her. She felt worried inside about him. The thought made her throat dry and emptied her stomach. She couldn't see him hurt. Her eyes scanned his face to see any discomfort because Gabriel knew how to hide things under his skin.Gabriel smiled, sensing the gaze on his face that slid down to his body. He bet his woman was worried. That was sweet. To be taken care of by a person felt sapped to him. However, Elsa could do that. He would love to be pampered by her for the rest of his life.“Enemies are everywhere, sweetheart. Since my childhood, I've learned to understand the word enemy.
★★★“Yes, Lord. I'm aware of it,” Maria said and her sight change its course. Taking her head to Jonathan, she gave him a humble smile.Elsa, who was about to eat the cake, stopped in the middle and looked at the other plate. In fact, she had almost taken the cakes while there were only three left on the second plate. How awkward! Elsa grumbled inside.“Don't worry. You can have more. I am sure there will be more in the kitchen,” Elsa said, placing the cake back into the basket with a contrite smile. Gabriel saw how Elsa tried to hide her apologetic eyes, which were quite funny.“Yes, there is more. If Maria wants some, I can ask them here. So eat yours,” Gabriel replied, looking at Elsa. The meaning was clear: Elsa should eat as much as she can, while if others want some they can have it later.“Thank you, your Grace. But I can share with Lady Maria,” Elsa said in a casual tone, but her facial expression wished him to understand what actually she wanted to say.“I'm so honored, lady E
★★★“O, yes Milady. Last night we met an accident, and I fell from a tree and my leg was injured by some sharp thing. It was dark so I couldn’t see that thing,” answered Carl with a polite tone. The way he presented his words sounded so gentle and had the profound equity that any woman would admire.“So unfortunate, Prince Carl, but I haven’t seen you limping last night. Didn’t you feel your injury at the time?” Gabriel asked with the sense of why he didn’t believe this Prince who was full of childish schemes.“Yes, your grace. I think I was so preoccupied with lady Jennifer that I didn’t feel that. However, I am grateful to Ser Reth and your royal physician. They did a great job.” Prince Carl welcomed Gabriel’s sarcastic word with an open hand and gave him a fitting reply.“Forgive us, Prince Carl. I hope your leg will heal soon and you can go back to your kingdom safe and sound,” said Elsa, giving him sympathy. The incident shouldn’t happen with him, as he was the Crown Prince of Val
★★“Have you not heard the history of Valeria? Apologize to Lady Elsa. I mean to say you were there, so you must have been familiar with the rules and history,” Carl said. Raising the encounter between himself and Elsa, he made the atmosphere deep.“No, not everything. But I hate how your palace has held humans as slaves. Their lives are miserable and I have seen them with my own eyes, Prince Carl. There is no pitiable atmosphere compared to Valeria,” said Elsa with a sore face and expressed her displeasure about Valeria despite loving its magnificence nature.“Forgive us, Lady Elsa. But I am just a crown prince who withholds no power to change any rules of my kingdom. But I will talk to my father to consider your thoughts,” Carl said with a troubled heart and shifted his eyes to the cup. The tea had cooled a long ago.“Pardon, prince Carl. My queen is a bit emotional. Don't take her words to the heart,” Gabriel said, sprinkling a little salt. He was delighted to see the smugness burne
Seven years later ★★★ On a bright sunny day, the castle of Reverie’s king was chirping with people. It had been many years since the walls of the palace had acclimatized themselves to the people. The court was going on that day as usual early in the morning, then suddenly, two little humans were forced in. “Father, we were looking for you,” the boys with silver hair and golden eyes complained to the king, ignoring the council behind them. “You had promised that you would come here only after meeting us. How can you forget your promise, father?” They carried their fuss in the middle of the court session. “This is where your king works. You shouldn’t be here,” Gabriel told his two unruly versions, who never forgot to seize the opportunity to bother him. “Gramson,” Gabriel called the man who was supposed to stop them outside. “Forgive me, your grace,” Gramson bowed his head, sighing at the boys, who were equally troublesome as their king. “Where is your mother?” Gabriel asked the
★★ Gabriel groaned when the tip lightly entered her wet sex, her muscle tightening in fear as her lips parted for a moan. The feeling was getting mad and ecstatic and couldn’t be controlled. Elsa held his shoulder, whimpering when Gabriel pushed his way more toward her core. Feeling her tremble, Gabriel licked her most sensitive part, all the way from her ear to the neck, nipping her skin. Elsa, feeling aroused, dropped her head back to the pillow. Gabriel allowed her to get used to the sensation while having one hand of his position on her waist. While her senses were clouded, Gabriel pushed himself into her tight entrance. “AH!!” Elsa whimpered. Elsa felt something make its way inside, tearing her, but was also quite desirous when it filled her wet core. They became one body as Gabriel settled his manhood. He was a violent, yet careful, lover. He made sure to see that she was alright before he started to pull himself back and push back into her. She could feel his manhood throbb
★★Gabriel placed a pillow behind him before resting his back on it. He wanted to see how mature the queen had become to initiate such an exciting step. Listening to her rapid heartbeat, he could tell how much nervous she was. But her courage was given by her eyes were quite worthy.He drank that night in a glass that contained cold rum but went down his throat as hot as molten magma. Elsa pulled his lower garment down to the knee before completely removing it. However, she was not promising, as she had never been familiar with this state, not in her previous life.An arduous task, it required a lot of courage to remove his undergarment, which she was slowly losing, but then she wanted to do it, and couldn’t get away now.“All you have to do is think I’m yours. There’s nothing to be ashamed of,” said Gabriel, comforting Elsa, whose hand was quivering a little with trepidation and he knew she was too embarrassed to do so.When Elsa’s hand touched his place, it was like a thousand
★★★The venue had taken place on the big balcony decorated with flowers. Gabriel was told it was Elsa’s choice to have the wedding on the balcony for a reason, and he could see that. An immense number of Reverie people came to witness the wedding. They were all quiet but not feared of him. Taking a deep breath, Gabriel looked straight when her scent rose like a wave and hit his nose.She was dressed in an ivory gown, not extravagant but beautiful, and hugged her body as if her skin were only adorned with accessories. There was no veil today so her beauty was open to be applauded.His heart moved vigorously to hold her in his arms. To him, a wedding was not mandatory, if she did not ask for it.Elsa walked with her uncle and aunt who were injured but still they wanted to do that. They were happy for Elsa that she didn’t drown herself in mourn but soared like a strong woman and got herself out of the darkness.“Thank you,” Elsa mumbled, looking straight, but her words were for her
★★★The mysterious morning unveiled its shroud, peeping behind the rays as they pierced the clouds. It brightened the dark soil of Reverie, leading it to believe that it was the day to grow a new life. Blood and bodies had already taken their place in the annals of history.The palace was captive by gaudy feet and prattle as they hurled from one corner to another. They were intervened by a swamp of tasks, cutting their breath short, as this was the first time they had to run like horses.The other end of the palace was quite serene. Only the wind stumbled on the curtain, disrupting someone's sleep, who groaned, sucking a deep breath.The eyes slowly opened their cover and saw the bright rays shining through the window. His eyes wandered like a hawk, trying to discern between reality and death. Absolutely could not understand why he was in Elsa's chamber. Grappling with the confused thought, he got up from the bed but a throbbing pain rushed through his head and he sat on the edge
★★★After coming back from the cemetery, Elsa locked herself in her room. She cried a lot about the pain she had suffered not in one life, but still. She didn’t deserve love because she had been put into the fire as a sacrifice to prove herself. If this was the way her existence put forward to shake out the worth, then be it.Elsa got up from her bed and went to the mirror to fix her face. Her crying face was pretty noticeable, but not that she wanted to hide. She couldn’t do anything to her face, except arrange her messy hair to look presentable.Later, she ordered a meal in her room to have dinner, but she included the man who didn’t come to visit once after the morning meeting.Elsa lit candles more than usual, brightening the room, and the woods cracked in the fireplace. The sounds formed the relaxation in the quiet room. Elsa was standing by the window, looking in the dark. That’s when Gabriel pushed the door inside.Elsa turned her head and saw him smiling with his hand beh
★★★A few hours later, Elsa got into a carriage alone that had been arranged by Gabriel. Johana and Rihana mentioned their wishes to go with her lady as they feared her falling ill. But Elsa politely rejected their offer, telling them she wanted to be alone with her parents.The carriage's wheels rolled forward, leaving worried maidservants behind. They couldn't help but moved their feet along with the carriage. They stopped when the carriage disappeared from their sight.“Don't you want to go with her?” Jonathan spoke, looking at Gabriel's back, who was staring at the moving carriage that left the palace gate. He was silent and unmoved that was not the sight Jonathan had expected after watching him mad for the last five days. He didn't eat, drink, and barely talked to people until today.“Hmm! If she called me,” Gabriel answered, and turned the other way off the balcony.★★Elsa reached the cemetery with flowers in her hand. She walked to the cremated stone of the Moon Magistra
★★★★Five days later;The cue of rays broke the entrance to come inside, giving a new wad of hope, telling someone it was time for her to wake.Birds warbled near the window, and a fresh smell of freesia swam in the room. The sleeping beauty groaned in her sleep, trembling lashes moved to unfurl for the daylight she had seen after five days.Her parched throat gulped the saliva before trying to ask for the water. Wandering her head, she noticed the silver water mug and a small glass on the table at the side of the bed. She was thrusting to drink but got no one in the room. Hence, she pushed her body up with both hands dipped down on the bed.Elsa extended her hand to grab the glass first. Suddenly the door in her room pushed open, and he entered. The feeling was distinct but uncontrollable, at the same time, it cut the forlornness into joy.Gabriel stopped on his way and felt the trepidation in his heart to go there. He was finding it hard to swallow that she had finally opened
★★★★ Gabriel punched the wolf on its jaw, and the fire on his hand intensified as his anger thrived bigger because he wanted to reach for Elsa before she met another cataclysm. He couldn't lose her as long as he was alive. Harris leaped over a tree to land right over Gabriel's shoulder. Jaws were open and reaching for Gabriel's head to end the fight. The time had come to ignite the fire of revenge he had been seeking since his parents were killed by him. The wolf snarled, but before it could do the job, its mouth was caught by Gabriel with both hands in the air. “You have done a great drama. Now I will rip these jaws off your face and hang them on the palace wall.” Gabriel tried with all his might to yank those jaws off as he pulled them wide, as much as Harris was trying to withdraw himself, but then suddenly Gabriel split both jaws with one blow. And the wolf fell to the ground with broken jaws, panting its last breath. ★ Elsa saw the witch who had assumed her true form, the c
