Yet it seemed that just by being in the said man’s arms was enough to allow her passage without even being asked for her papers.
She was only able to breathe a sigh of relief when they had finally reached the inner part of the walls. The whole place may have been messed up but it was still recognizable, even though it now pretty much looked like a ghost town, having so very few people there now.
“I think I’ll be good there,” she finally says pointing to the fountain area in the middle of the town’s plaza.
The man quickly guides the stead towards the said place without question, getting off the horse once they reached the fountain. He made a quick survey of the place, seeing

“My lord, I can assure you, there is nothing wrong with your smile, those women are just too uncivilized to understand the magnificence and beauty of your form,” lord Aizenberg stated with a pure smile and admiration for his master. Yet Alexander continued baring his teeth in front of the mirror, twisting and frowning as he tried to fix the look of his mouth when he’d do his facial expressions. “Words so true,” commander Tycus nodded in agreement. The two were together in his room, making sure that all the preparations were done properly and accordingly to their taste. The prince just ignored the two and continued to practice not showing too much of his teeth. He knew that if he was going to make this work, he needed to make sure that he’d get as many women to agree to be his concubine. Pressing his cheeks together, managed to show that look that he wanted, he did a few

“My lady, I thought we were going to the underground chambers?” Nana was still shaking as they were roving the halls within a part close to the main castle where the chambers were found.“Yes, but I cannot have you getting in danger, that’s why I will be taking a different way,” Karilaya says, remembering the numerous guards that were surrounding the hall where the underground chamber was found.Being that late and seeing as there have been tons of guards roaming around the place who already knew some of the maidservants. She was sure that it would not end well for them in case she made a mistake.“My lady, this is near the inner castle, what if you get caught?” one of her maids states seeing some soldiers pass by.“I’ll be all right, they won’t suspect a maid now would they,” she says with sheer confidence when they finally reach the

The sound of wine dripping up to the tip of his cup was his sign for the servant to stop, the prince then gulps it in one go, emptying it in seconds.Still naked on his chair, prince Alexander remained quiet as he brooded on the second time that he has failed, he could not understand where he went wrong as he tried to control himself in order to make sure that the maiden was not harmed, he knew she was still breathing before they slumbered but when he woke up the woman was no longer breathing, and like all his previous concubine it looked like they were completely dried up.Infuriated by the mystery he raises his cup for it to be filled, making his two advisers move to intervene from the excessive drinking.“Please sire, don’t be so down on yourself, what happened was just inevitable,” lord Aizenberg’s voice was one that of soothing, trying to calm his lord.Yet Alexander just

“Wake up!” A deep voice shouted.Several others grumbled as cold water splashed on Karilaya’s face, making her jolt from her slumber as she gasped for air. Flailing her hands up in the air, she tried to make out what was happening but before she could even open her eyes, hands were roughly grabbing her shoulder and hands.The princess was unable to do anything but scream in fear and surprise but was instantly silent when she was pushed down, face to the ground. She was about to speak out a spell when she felt the weight on her throat when she tried.“It would be wise if you do not try anything,” a deep and dark voice whispered to her ear before she felt her hair get pulled.This time Karilaya was finally able to open her eyes, though her vision was still not that clear she was now able to see that she was being surrounded by several people.“My lady?&rdq

Dread and remorse were nudging at Karilaya, feeling her chest pound from the strong beat of her heart as the door to the throne room opened. She could not help the lump on her throat from forming, seeing the people that were now sitting there. Before she would be the one on that chair now she was on the other side of the receiving end, looking up at the being who was the cause of all her demise.Karilaya was being held by two soldiers on each side all the while chained. She was having mixed emotions right now, mainly they were fear cause she was scared that she’d make a mistake and put everyone who had helped her in danger, anxiety, thinking that she may not be able to hold her ground like what the captain wanted, anger because she was now facing the man that had killed his father, wounded her brother and took their castle, and awkwardness cause no matter how she felt right now, there was a part in her mind that kept reminding her about that thing be

She had never expected to be in this predicament right now, she never knew that the man would move so fast. The whole throne room was now filled with different kinds of ingredients, starting from vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry up to the spices and root crop, besides that the pots, pans, and cauldron were set up along with a hearth, and a makeshift oven was also built along with it, it only took them half a day to have it all placed in there, even the fresh pigs blood was readily available together with a whole pig that was neatly prepared on a nearby table.It was already midmorning so Karilaya had plenty of time to rest up, but she did not expect that her whole trial would proceed immediately.“Well, what are you waiting for? Cook!” lord Aizenberg howled as she just stood there.Karilaya was still a bit dazed from being woken up while in the dungeon and then being brought once again in the throne room onl

Prince Alexander could not remove his eyes off of the lady, finely handling the knife as she cut and slice. It was like he was watching a maiden dance to a natural rhythm while moving within the make-shift kitchen that they had made. She was like this fairy twirling around her little kingdom, making the fire burn with life and the food smell with hypnotic aroma.The prince was so enthralled that he did not notice that he was smiling under his helmet, all the while watching the maiden finish up her dish. His little personal world was only disturbed when all of a sudden he felt lord Aizenberg move about just beside him as the maiden was already preparing the food on a plate.“I don’t think you should eat it, my lord, this woman might have done something to it without us knowing,” lord Aizenberg whispers, looking wary and a bit worried as the maiden in question was now finishing her dish.“Lord

Whispers, this was all that Karilaya could hear from where she was sitting. She couldn’t understand what the three men were saying to one another as she was a bit too far and she couldn’t move from where she was because all eyes were still basically at her.Her palms were sweating and her body felt so cold just being in front of the three men, she knew she was still under trial, seeing as how the men looked at her, what she could not understand is what was the reason why they seem to be so secretive even to the people around them.Deep in thought, Karilaya was startled when finally the three men had stopped talking to one another and began moving.“Everyone out!” the commander hollered making everyone move in a single line as they marched out of the whole throne room.Only Karilaya, the Black Knight, and his two advisers and three fully plated soldiers were left inside. Even t

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.
