“Are you sure you are all right?” Max was all over her the moment they had finally finish looking around the whole place.
From summing things up they found out that it was a small village built with a stone wall surrounding it for defense, it had the same style, build, and architecture, having a mix of stone and wood, even though all the houses and structures were covered with vines, weeds they were all very much still intact and could still be able to provide shelter.
“Yes, I am fine. I was just really surprised seeing something like this here.” Karilaya was finally able to calm her breathing.
At first, she was afraid that they might see something that pertained to something unspeakable happening to the place, but when they were finally done looking all over the place, they knew that the people there had managed to flee before any disaster had happened.
“Does your kingd
Max brushed his fingers on the pole that was still very much solid, too nicely preserved for something that was covered in plants and being subjected to very turmoils of inconsistent weather. He turned his gaze around, the trees were quite less dense here and looked more familiar than before, though they were still quite large in size.There were also places that were too well flattened along with having a few slab stones that were properly and neatly placed along the ground. A lot of things did not make sense to him now, as long as he could remember the storm lands were said to be uninhabitable by normal people, so why was it that there was a place like that there.Besides that, he could not help the disturbing feeling that has been scratching inside of him because of the lack of large beast around them. He did see some corpses and some piles of bones but they were all stacked up together like they’ve been properly placed.&nbs
Karilaya closed her eyes, taking in deep breaths as she held her clothes tightly, making sure that they do not fall off as she walks back to where the captain was.After their dinner and cleaning up, she immediately decided to clean herself up in order to prepare for the night. Her brows quickly furrowed when she did not see Max near the makeshift bed nor within anywhere else in the hall.She felt her heart sank when she saw him sitting outside, enduring the strong and cold wind. Karilaya’s feet unconsciously started moving towards the man. Biting her lip as she could still feel her heart thumping at that moment.The man just sat there staring into the nothingness of the darkness outside, he did not even notice her up until she finally sat beside him, finally making him turn though he jolted a bit upon seeing her being so close.“Max, is everything all right?” She asks as she had no
Her Back on the wall while being pinned there by the man's strong arms, all Karilaya could do was wiggle and grab hold of either Max’s hair or his hands that were holding on to her armpits. She was lifted high up which left her helpless, her legs where on his shoulders, giving the man full access to her womanhood as his head was between her widely spread thighs. Her moans and cries of pleasure echoed throughout the hall when several continuous surges of pleasure kept igniting inside of her. She could feel his tongue slither, slide, and wriggled inside of her, like a snake that was trying to burrow itself within her. The man looked like he was savoring that part of her, like some exquisite meal. Each time his buds would stroke and brush into it would send bolts down her lower spine, feeling that warm and slippery feeling ravaging her now wet slit. Karilaya seemed to howl when she finally felt that surge of release,
“Was it because of this? Is this what you’ve been so afraid of?” Karilaya giggled as she placed her palms on Max’s hand that almost dwarfed hers. The man remained silent while looking straight into his lady’s bare shoulder, he let out a deep sigh swallowing hard as he gently brush the purplish swollen part on her skin that was left by their lovemaking. They were now embracing one another, naked and enjoying the warmth of each other.Karilaya laying on top of Max’s chest, her bare breast touching his skin, all the while his arms were wrapped around her to make sure that she would remain in place. Not wanting to let her move away from him at that moment.She winced upon feeling the sting of his touch, no matter how soft it was the pain was still there because of the size of the bruise that she got.Max grumbled upon seeing that, he ended up wiping his face as it twisted from the sheer anger and annoyance upon himself.“It’s all right,” Karilaya placed h
“Kaya, is there anything you want me to get?” Max asks as he was waiting at the door.Not wanting to say a word Karilaya only shook her head to say no, She did not look back at him but instead continued to mash the potatoes that she had boiled. She still had no strength nor want to speak to the man, feeling betrayed and hopeless at that moment.The weather hasn’t subsided for almost half a month now, from strong whirling winds, hale, and then lightning storms. There was no chance that any normal person would have been able to travel within those conditions.It forced them to stay, far longer than the man had anticipated, their whole predicament made things far harder in staying there. Karilaya no longer had the strength nor interest to talk about the two of them, the moment she got the man’s answer gave her an inkling of what was about to come. It always haunted her in her sleep, making it hard for her to sleep, knowing
Charging straight into the raging storm, Karilaya was struggling just to walk within the forest. The winds were so strong that she had to keep crawling and grabbing at the ground so that she wouldn't get blown away.It had been a rigorous few hours but she did not stop moving forward, even though she was barely able to see anything. She took the chance of relying on her memory on where Max could be since she had already his usual hunting grounds for the past days.She could not help the feeling of dread that kept on crawling on her entire body, especially since Max didn’t return. Though the sky was still dark, she was sure that it was already morning.Her worries and fears kept piling up, as one by one all the things were starting to make sense to her now. The village of Luhan was the first village on the western borders of the Aselaysia and the closest one to the capital, which only meant that they weren’t t
The sound of horses retaliating against men, along with squeaking and grinding gears woke Karilaya to her senses. Jolting she almost screamed but stopped when she felt the ache in her throat.Knees, body, and arms bent, bleeding, and was gasping for air, Karilaya shakily tried to stretch her arms but was met with the cold, steel bars around her. The iron mixed with the grime was causing the air to be putrid, making her whole chest clench that she was almost unable to inhale fully. Her demise was added as she felt the cold, pinching steel wrapped around her arms and neck.This was the situation that greeted her when she opened her eyes and yet she still had the strength to look around to see if Max was in sight.Though her feet were on the floor and her back arched and touching the walls of her confines she was still swaying back and forth. The light that touched her was fragmented, having faintly square shapes. All she could do was squint her e
“How did you find us?” His face had a dark shadow hovering over his face while looking at the adviser in front of him.It was as if his energy was seeping out of his body again. Though he had a straight face, his nerve-racking cold stare seem to cut through the old man’s composed demeanor.Lord Slog swallowed hard, trying to sway his thoughts on the beads of sweat that were starting to slide down his forehead, wanting to keep face and remain with a steel and hardy composure.“The wizards noticed your energy rampaging nearby. We were wary at first but when we noticed a pattern, the commander finally decided to investigate,” he says, remaining perfectly still in place.The two of them were sitting on different sides of the carriage, facing each other. The adviser felt like he was on the losing side of a battle at that moment, seeing those sharp, narrowing eyes at him.Max straightened on his
As Karilaya proved she could handle basic politics and affairs of the land, she gained the head advisers, along with the magical council’s favor, being dubbed as the true empress of the Draconian Empire.And they state it in the imperial rule. She took over all of Alexander’s duties, allowing the man to focus on raising their sons.The man taught the boys everything he knew, from combat, control their forms, and learning the ways of their kind.A year more had passed, and they were finally ready to proceed with her coronation.Having healed from all of their wounds, Karilaya finally agreed to marry the emperor, which puts them in their current situation.With the land no longer tormented by the changing weather, the people at peace, and the kingdom once again flourishing. It was now time to go to the western lands to have her crowned and legitimatized as the sole wife of t
The people felt a bit more at ease with the empire; they no longer had any qualms, especially after everybody found out that their princess was now the empress and would still be the one to rule them.She lowered the taxes enough for all of them to get by, not just for their area but also for the entire western continent that was under them, so that it wouldn’t cause too much strain on everyone.Trading between the west and their lands went on smoothly, allowing more products to come back and forth.“Good morning your majesty!”People greeted as they walk pass by them. Karilaya waved at them in reply. She and the others were currently viewing the restoration of the old kingdoms’ fields.After they had cleared the trees, the earth was now being plowed to prepare it for farming. Everyone was helping, including a few of th
Having control over all the things in the kingdom, it didn’t take long before Karilaya had finally turned matters around.Repairs on the capital were going smoothly. All the previous actions she wanted to be done, like the re-aligning of the seals within the entire city, were no longer an issue, since fear of using her magic did not restrain her.It was the reason she now felt it was the right time to proceed with restoring their lands to how it was.“Your majesty, are you sure it will be safe to remove the coven from their bonds this instant?” the old adviser asks.The man was with her, together with her own guards, since she sent the others to handle things around the kingdom for this momentous day.“Yes, mistress Moryana and the headmaster are already in place. I stationed Kirei and everyone else in each village outside to make su
In just two days, that was all it took for the combined might of the imperial army and Aselaysian soldiers to rally up every single person who Soraya has pointed out to be instigating a rebellion into their hands.Facing them now was lord Sander Lee. Face broken, bloody, and full of tears. The man was groveling in front of Karilaya, who was on the throne beside the Draconian emperor.She moves to her side in order to get closer to the Alexander. “Did you beat them to death?” she whispers to him.Seeing how beaten and wounded the old lords were, she could not help but feel a bit of remorse for letting the man handle things.“No,” he shrugs.“Then why do they look like that?” she points out.Lord Sander Lee’s face was so inflated that he was unrecognizable, while some could no longer keep themselv
“Why do you doubt him?” It was the childish little voice that whispered in her mind.She was currently contemplating with the Horomid all the while looking out into the palace’s terrace. She wanted to get at least an insight from her guardian spirits about what to do, knowing that somehow they may clear her thoughts.“Because he has lied to me before. And I am afraid that all of this is but another farce,” she says.Feeling that ache inside her chest, still fearing that the man might betray her again.“Did you also not deceive him?” the sweet female voice whispered.Karilaya could not help but grumble. “I did that to protect myself.”“What makes your mistake more forgivable than his? A lie is a lie no matter how you make it,” the annoying spirit mocked, letting out a laugh after.
After finally having time for themselves, all Alexander would do was to cuddle and hug her. The man clung to her the moment they got returned to their room. Cooing and giving her kisses on the neck.“Your Majesty, you need to rest,” she scolds. Feeling his hands wandering all over her body.They were already in bed, getting ready to sleep after tucking the boys into their rooms. Her back was facing him, so he was spooning her while they laid on there.“I have plenty of strength reserved just for you,” Alexander cooed in her ears.She felt herself shiver, sensing that ticklish jolt inside of her. His hands were already touching those sensual areas of her. Playfully rubbing his fingers on her skin.“Alex!” she hissed, slapping off his hand, feeling him pinching some of her sensitive parts.“Come on, Kaya. I promise I wo
They caught Lord Drake by surprise upon their arrival. Making his uncle gape in disbelief at seeing her lady with him at that moment. He kept looking at him with questioning looks, asking for why he’d let the woman be there.“Your majesty, I do not think this is safe,” He says.Alexander almost laughed, cause he knew that his beloved was very much capable of handling herself in there, having removed her restraints and all.“Uncle, have you not met her yet? Or have you forgotten the mother of my children?” He smirks at the man, trying to give him the idea of who he was with.But before lord Drake could even recognize his lady, Kaya had already done a curtsy in front of him.“It’s a pleasure to meet you, lord Galford Drake. I have to commend that your men are quite the formidable opponents on the battlefield that even I wasn’t able to
Tired, wounded, and starving, Alexander still kept watch over his sons. He could tell by their breathing that all of them were still awake. Resting, planning, and waiting for the right time to strike.“Your majesty, it would be best if you take this time to rest up.” Lord Drake says.His uncle had finished tying up Giro. After he had broken free a while ago. It’s the second time within the day which was making him frustrated. He never thought it would be that hard to keep the boys in check with his power, but seeing as he couldn’t go all out on his children for fear of harming them just made it more difficult.“I’m good, uncle.”He took that time to take a rest, sitting on the floor in front of the boy’s cell. Munching on the bread that the servants brought a while ago.Though he wanted to eat meat, the smell of it always ended up w
Soraya kept her senses sharp. Looking around, all the while keeping her gaze on the knights who stood guarding them. She could not understand why they were suddenly being taken care of like that.They healed their wounds, gave back their weapons and armor. They even fed them to where they were all satisfied.They also mixed the captive villagers with their soldiers, making them look like a bunch of cattle being herded inside the outer castle.She knew that all of it had to have a reason and it was not just for show nor for their so-called friendly gesture. She’d hardly consider them having any, experiencing how cruel and barbaric they were.There was something behind of it all which she could not put her foot on it.It alerted Soraya seeing the soldiers move in a straight line, posing at the ready when they saw a line of well-dressed people coming their way.
