Max could feel the rush of his blood coursing through his veins each time his claws would slide through the flesh of each enemy. His laughter echoed all over the forest, finally being able to let out his inner beast, the adrenaline rushing inside him with every hit and bite that he would receive. Even with their numbers and huge sizes, the creatures fell on his hands one by one, unable to best the prince’s monstrous power and strength.
A pile of bodies was already piled up when the battle had ended and somehow that managed to quenched his uncontrolled rage that had been brewing since the moment he woke up.“Your highness,” commander Tycus already had a cloth for him when he approached.“Commander, tell me, where are they hiding, my lady?” The way Alexander wiped the blood off his claws in front of the commander, made the man turn pale.Commander Tycus swallowed hard. “You mean the priestess, my lKarilaya could not hide the smile on her face, there was not a single mark that was left on her leg after performing the spell she thought of. The shackles that were stopping her from using magic seemed unable to comprehend that little trick she has thought of. She was so proud of that deed she had managed to do that she didn’t mind being in the dark crevices of that dungeon.Healed and in a very good mood all the princess could do right now was patiently wait until Max would come and get her out, she knew the man wouldn’t leave her in that place and it was only a matter of time before she would be able to see him again, getting strength by holding on to that hope.She let out a deep sigh, looking at that faint glow from the candle, it reminded her of the days when she and Max would stay just lying in their makeshift bed, looking outside and not doing anything. Those memories were whats keeping her sane right now, knowing that the man would rescue her i
Alexander felt the sudden rush on his skin, feeling the sudden surge of danger around him. He woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily as he almost jumped out of his bed. The women that were embracing him woke up with tired pouting eyes as they looked at him.“Good morning, prince.” One of them giggled as she tried to once again embrace him.Yet this time he felt some kind of shiver in his spine making him crawl away from them, his eyes kept wondering on the ceiling the floor having this sense that something was looking at him.“What’s wrong, my lord?” Another woman asks, copying him but ended up frowning.“Would you like us to call mistress Lilian so that we may proceed with our morning activity?” One of them said, her hands pressing his shoulder along with her breast that seem to be brushing on his back.Six women had slept with him that nigh
Grumbling as he sat on the throne, Alexander could not help but tap his fingers on the chair's armrest. It had already been several hours since he had woken up but already he had not rested nor stopped moving, ordering his soldiers around along with preparing, after finding out that his lady had gone missing, all because of the witch’s some failed attempt at a ritual that he had no knowledge of.“What’s taking so long,” he growls gripping tightly on the armrest. His patience slowly slipping away with each passing moment.“Sire, do you not think all of this is a little too much,” lord Slog whispered, trying to smile as he bent down on his liege.The old adviser ended up silent when all he received was but a sharp look from the prince.“Sire, the mistress has contributed quite a lot since coming here, can we not give them a bit of leniency?” Rashamon from the sorcerer's conclave added.
“How’s the mistress?” Commander Tycus asks. All three advisers had finally met up within the war room, weary and barely moving in haste after handling all the mess that had happened around the castle. It had been a busy day for all of them and not one had managed to get some rest. “Barely alive, if his highness had not stopped midway she’d be ashes by now,” lord Slog shook his head remembering the sight of the woman’s body that was almost turned to cinders. “I doubt any magic would be able to have withstood the prince’s dragon flame, even something like that black magic that mistress Lilian uses,” Headmaster Artheous mumbled as he felt a shiver run down his spine having thought of the incident a while ago. “Seems the prince was still considerate enough towards the others from the coven,” lord Slog let out a sigh, relieved that somehow the women were all still alive even though they might all
“Foolish princess, you have failed your duty, you have failed your people, you have failed your ancestors,” the voices echoed everywhere like it was the only sound in the world.Karilaya opened her eyes to see only darkness, though she could see her body, everything else was covered in pitch black. She could move but there was nothingness all around her, giving her the feeling that her body was being cradled by the void as she kept floating in mid-air.“Whe-Where am I?” Her thoughts echoed throughout the endlessness as if she were speaking yet she knows that her mouth still did not open.“Your Naivety and selfishness have caused our beloved land to completely fall in the hands of our enemy, you’ve allowed them to taint our sacred house with dark magic, and you’ve allowed yourself to be tainted by them,” a cold icy female voice screeched sending chills through her skin.She looked around, tw
“My lord, please calm yourself, there is no point in causing a fit from all of this,” Lord Slog was not already out of the air just trying to move with haste to keep up with the prince.Alexander was pacing back and forth, throwing things that he could have his hands on, the servants along with the soldiers, remained distant, all the while the other adviser stayed quiet in their seats, leaving only the commander and lord Slog to deal with him.“Why hasn’t anyone found her yet!” he roared.A poor chair instantly flew out of the window like it did not weigh anything when it ended up blocking the prince’s path, the brittle sound of glass breaking made everyone flinch making his advisers back away for a moment.“Sire, all the soldiers at our disposal have been sent out to look for her, for all we know, she might have just hidden away somewhere within the castle,” the commander tried to co
Gloom welcomed him when the guards opened up the two large doors, the faint glow of candles danced on the crimson velvet curtains as he entered. Shadows immediately crawled all over him when the door closed, leaving him in a somewhat desolate space.Alexander could feel the damp cold air grazing on his bare skin with each step. Sliding from his feet, it crept upward like a snake, entering the opening of his breeches, up until it reached between his thighs where it seem to blow on his privates that sent a sort of tingle on that part. The part that his robes did not cover was touched by a different kind of wind, from the formed belly, it felt like the actual air was tracing each finely etched line on the prince’s torso, until it reached up unto his chest, wrapping around his body like some kind of silk cloth.The straight hall seemed endless from the blackness that was trying to cover the long path. His gaze would wander on each arch doorways he&r
Though she was still tied and encased, Karilaya managed to let out a sigh of relief, thankful to breathe fresh air when the lid where she was finally opened, she graciously welcomed the cold air, not caring that had a foul, mossy smell that could turn her stomach over. The freedom of seeing the outside and finally being able to at least move her hands not just to her side were enough. Yet her small sense of celebration was immediately taken away when she saw the being wearing a red, satin dress in front of her.“Hello there, my lady,” it greeted, slowly stating each word.Even though it was raspy, Karilaya knew the voice belonged to the witch Lilian. The woman let out a smile that caused the hard, black flesh on her cheeks to fall off, turning to dust before it even reached the ground, it then turned into a cloud of smoke-like dust, slithering back to its place.“I just wanted to give my thanks for all that you&rsq
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.
