Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate The incident at the Corridor
“Nooo!!!”I looked at the glaring eye of my attacker, her face full of tears, grief, and anguish. Both my hands were on her wrists as she pushed the knife inside my body, the slicing feeling made me grimace as it deepened second by second. I could feel the warm, sticky blood running down my wound and drenching my dress, making Nina scream at the top of her lungs.I have never seen a girl in my entire life. But she is wearing the palace’s handmaiden uniform and her hair is tucked in a bun, her skin the color of bronze. She is glaring at me as if I did something evil to her which I have no idea about since I have never met this person in my entire life!“Your father—” she swallowed a lump in her throat as she breathed heavily, her face full of beaded sweat, “Your father killed my father!” she snarled in detest, her hatred seeped right through my bones that I shivered and my knees gave up. My attacker pulled the knife from me and was about to stab me right to the top of my head, aiming
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate The Peacock
“Your Grace…”“Hmm…” “It’s time to wake up… We have to prepare or we will be late…”“Late for what?”I waited for Nina to answer my question but when she didn’t, I opened my right eye and looked at her worried face.That’s when I got curious why she wanted me to get up this too early in the morning.“What’s happening, Nina? I was not informed that there is something special today.” I asked her, rubbing the sleepiness of my eyes and carefully propping my body from the soft bed. I don’t usually wake up this early so I am still tired, especially when Aster was being a bully last night. I don’t know how long he was lying with me on my bed last night… Did he do something while I was out of consciousness? Nothing seems wrong with my body though, except the stab wound on the side of my body which is still healing. Me, being unable to shift into and having an inner wolf trapped inside me makes it hard for me to heal fast, no matter how fast a shifter should heal. The nervousness I saw in he
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate The Feasting
“What are you doing here anyway?” I asked him, my eyes sharp as I looked at his handsome, mischievous smile, “Did he send you here?”“Oh, you never have to worry about that, my lady. I went here on my own because I want to witness your incomparable beauty before the Emperor,” he bowed like a gentleman in front of me and his eyes were gentle, “And just like I expected, you always take my breath away.”I gasped, sharp and silent at what he said. I averted my eyes from his lusty eyes uncomfortably and just took his arm when he offered it so we can finally go to the banquet where it must be starting already.I have never experienced a banquet held almost at noon. Most of what I attended before were evenings, which is one of the reasons why I never attend because I hate evening gatherings with people I don’t know. It is never safe for me, especially when I get cornered by noblemen and Nina had to make an excuse that I needed to go to bed early as I pretended I was feeling sick.I guess I w
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate Reasons
I feel like the sky fell on the top of my head and squashed me like a pumpkin.I was so petrified by what Emperor Aster said that my mind turned into total panic. Did I hear it right? Is he really just announcing me being one of his concubines?This is ridiculous! I glared at Aster and gave him a darting look, showing him that I never agreed to any of this and he can’t make me. I will never be one of his playthings! We just talked about it last night and he is really testing my sanity in all of the jokes that are happening in this Empire.He is a huge joke! He can’t make a former princess his concubine! I can tell how much all the people around the grand ball looked disgusted and upset about his decision. He is crazy!“Let me go, Emyr!” I snarled at him when he refused to let go of my wrists, I pulled my hand away from him, desperately because I had to run away from this place. I can’t take all the awful stares of all these random people on me. I feel like I am going to throw any mome
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate The Room of the Fifth Concubine
“Nina… where are they going to take us both? This is not the way to my room,” I whispered to her, worried and anxious at the same time. I was given a new pair of handmaids together with Nina and two more Eunuchs. Being with all of them feels so crowded already. I wish it was always just me and Nina but I guess being a concubine means safety is the main priority and making sure that no other male monarchs can get near or even touch the tips of our skin. Aster was dead serious when he told me he cares about me and my safety—-and his promise that he would never let me get hurt again. The thoughts made me bite my lower lip absent-mindedly because I never expected anything from Aster. I never want to do anything to him even though he wants to make sure I am safe within the palace walls. All I ever wanted is to get out of this place and live where nobody knows me. Where I can start again without the hatred from anyone around me and just live a simple life, to thrive and see what life wou
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate I am not as desperate as you think I am
I turned around to look at the man stepping slowly inside my room like a predator hunting its prey. I knew right away it was Aster with his gray eyes glinting from the dim light of the lampshades all over the room.“I thought you won’t come,” I asked sarcastically, failing to hide the nervousness in my tone. I swallowed a lump in my throat because I found out he is only wearing a white, satin robe and it is untied, exposing his naked upper body. Good thing he is wearing loose trousers and just like the same in the banquet, he is barefooted. It seems he’s fond of not wearing shoes and just feeling the floor under his feet.“Oh, I never thought you were expecting me. I was expecting you to run away from me though. It seems you are getting used to me, Eodelle…” his voice was hoarse, growling at me hungrily, his steps are heavy and threatening, “Or are you just so excited about the punishment I am going to give you that you cannot sleep?”I frowned, “Don’t be too full of yourself, your Gr
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate Breakfast
“Was Aster still here when you entered the room, Nina?”Nina was busy ensuring that every strand of my hair was in the right place and that my purple dress looked perfect before I went out and had breakfast with the other concubines. She was instructed to prepare me for this morning. I have no idea what they mean by the word prepare when I am just going to actually eat breakfast. Maybe they meant about me, preparing myself for the tension against the other concubines since I am the newest one and obviously, the one that Aster favors the most. But that is not what I see. I can tell how Helena desperately takes his attention away from me. The funny thing is, I am not even trying to seduce the Emperor. I never want to.“No, your Grace. You were alone on the bed when I came in,” she uttered softly in deep focus as she looked at my face like I am some canvas of her art.I tried my best not to look bothered by what he said. The last time I remember, I fell asleep in the far corner of the r
Wycliffe Empire: The Conqueror's Mate Love
I feel like my heart is in my throat already. I tried to focus on the book I am reading. Emperor Aster told me the lesson shouldn’t have to start this and when I asked him if I can just go and enjoy my afternoon tea alone, he refused with a deep frown on his face, his gray eyes looking a little disappointed that it is too obvious I am avoiding him as much as I can.He is sitting on one of the long tables in the huge library of the palace, the oldest one on this continent. There are hundreds of thousands of books here and records of history that the meisters are taking so carefully because they always believed that it is proof that this civilization existed as times pass and the generations of werekind get more modernized and technology is becoming more popular in most of the continent. This Empire still believes in old ways and we are people of faith that the Moon Goddess and the spirits all over this kingdom are still guiding us toward prosperity and peace. But my father, Oswald Wy
