“Yes,” Karilaya immediately stopped her reading and raised her head to look at the woman.It was Soraya, with a gloomy face as she purse her lips. “The Count is here to see you, again,” she sighed before moving aside to show the man who was standing behind her.Count Sanser Lee bowed down with a wide smile on his face. After years in hiding, he was one of the few remaining lords of the Aselaysian kingdom who were left to start the revolution against the empire. Having managed to gather a small army and being able to band together with a few other lords, the man was now confident about starting their revolt.Karilaya heaves out a sigh, pressing a hand on her temple. “How many times do I need to tell you, it’s a no,” she firmly states with a bored look as she stared straight into the man’s eyes. “I have no interest to j

“Wouldn’t taking back the capital gives us an advantage, my lady?” Kirei asks, thinking about what the Count had said before.Karilaya let out a deep sigh remembering the issue at hand. “Let’s say we manage to get the capital back, how long do you think will it take for the empire to lay siege on it again? If we weren’t able to protect it with our full force before, how will we protect it with our meager numbers now? The only reason why we are alive, free, and striving today is all because the imperial soldiers don’t know where we are and have no way to traverse through the jungle because of the changing weather.” It was one of the few things that had kept them safe through all these years.“That’s the reason why you are taking your time fixing the mana pools,” Soraya quickly voiced out her thoughts, realizing what their lady had been doing all this time.“Yes, If it wasn&r

The imperial caravan this time was longer than the previous ones, it boasted almost a hundred carts pulled by horses, carrying different types of wares, weapons, and foods from the empire. Marching on each side of the carts was the usual number of guards. Seeing this just made it much more enticing for the shadows that were lurking within the forest.A lot of them had anticipated the said cargo months ago, after being able to come across some news that came from the empire.All of the people who were hiding began to emerge from the shadows. One by one they began taking place atop the trees, some near the bushes to the road, and others even moving closer“Do you see all that food,” Giro a thirteen-year-old boy felt his mouth water while crawling out of the bushes to take a better look at the cargo that was coming their way.“I bet we could feed all the villages for weeks,” His brother Cicero states as he too

“It’s a trap!” The men kept shouting as one by one their comrades were falling in battle.Black knights continued to come out of the carriages, even the merchants that were driving them were soldiers in disguise. One by one people were getting caught, getting knocked out, or worst, killed.“Everyone, retreat, retreat at once,” the Count ordered.The ones who were trained under the said lord were able to make their way out of the smog, allowing them to escape. But it was different for the townsfolk that came along. Having not much coordination, knowledge of how to fight, where to go, and what they should do. They were unable to properly make their way out, causing several of them to get caught by the enemy.“Giro, everyone’s running away!” Ryho was now panicking seeing several of the soldiers that they were with moving back into the forest.The three boys had just finished

As the smog started to finally disappear. The number of phantoms that were engaging the enemy kept on increasing. It was the only thing that Karilaya was able to think of to make sure that would keep the soldiers occupied while they escaped.So it was quite a surprise when all of a sudden, Count Sanse Lee appeared before them in his high horse. Smiling widely upon seeing the princess.“My lady, with our forces and your phantoms combined, we can still push them back and take spoils,” the man ushers with full confidence as he raises his sword upfront in a battle-like manner.Soraya quickly moves in front to stop the man from further approaching. “Fool, you think your weak, meager forces will be able to take on those imperial knights!” she points out, glaring at the count who was being overly confident.The man though appalled quickly shut his mouth, knowing what was good for him. Seeing the three women together. Princess

After they had made sure that everyone had managed to heal the injured, they had soldiers escort the villagers back to their respective villages, with a message to make sure that the others would know what had happened.“I would expect for this not to happen again, Count Lee,” Karilaya had this stone-cold look on her face, glaring at the man who was the sole reason why she was a force to partake in the battle.Count Lee swallowed hard, feeling that intense look on him. “Apologies, my lady. We were caught unaware of their tricks.” He bows his head even further while kneeling down. Feeling ashamed at the failure that they faced a while ago.“What did you expect after years of raiding,” Soraya ended up scolding the man, unable to hold her tongue since everyone knew they had it coming.“Now that they are on to us. It will only be a matter of time before they find the villages,” Kirei adde

A large crowd from all walks of life had gathered all around the whole palace. Several men and women were kneeling in front of the large chair that was set up for the emperor, just outside the castle. Each one had an ax-wielding soldier beside them. Tied and chained in place, the said people continued to weep and plea at the man who was sitting in boredom on his large, silvery throne.“Sire, please! Have mercy on us, we have children, our families need us,” A man in white robes cried out, hands raised in prayer while groveling.“My lord, we have served your forefathers for generations, this is unjust,” A woman wearing the same clothing wept as she knelt with her hands on the floor.“This is madness, your majesty,” Another man called out, trying to sound brave and wise, even though he was already turning pale.Their newly crowned emperor, Alexander Maxwell, just yawned, fanning his hand on his mou

“Giro! We’re going to get in trouble again,” Metikulo whispered. He quickly grabbed hold of his brothers who were now trying to crawl out of the bushes.They were all hiding near a cliff, watching the imperial caravan pass by on their guarded road. It had always been a little game to them, just looking from afar but after experiencing a raid for the first time. The three seemed to have found a new kind of entertainment. One that manages to wake their blood in thrill and excitement.“Not if ma, doesn’t find out,” Ceciro chuckled as they were dragging their youngest brother.The envy and praise of several of their friends prove very addictive to the three boys, along with the rush of battle, but what truly hooked them was the fact that they did not have to hold back when they fought against the knights. It was the first time that they had to use all their strength just so they could fend off several imper

“It is truly an honor to have you here, your majesty,” Headmaster Artheous had this shaky yet lively tone in his voice.Though it would not show on his face that was covered by his long beard and brows, the faint scent of fear could be noticed from him.“May I once again say my utmost gratitude for your forgiveness and kindness, your majesty. I cannot put into words my gratefulness for allowing us another chance to serve you. Even after what my niece has done,” mistress Moryana gave out a bow as she too was a bit shaky from the mans’ presence.Alexander just nodded, remaining quiet as he kept his eyes out the window. On the lookout for any sign or hint of his lady’s appearance.All three of them were currently sharing a carriage because of his request. He wanted to mask his presence by the use of the two most powerful beings that were there.“May we know what have we done to be given 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.
