2021-01-07 07:55:19The carriage made its way to a sharp ascent. It paused a little as we bypassed the gate traffic where they confirmed my identity before granting us passage. From the gate to the beautifully illuminated castle, the road had been made by red bricks.
Our carriage slowed down to follow the drop off traffic, and Vincent cleared his throat, breaking the tense silence that had filled the carriage since the ‘bridge’ incident.
“We’ll be passing by the town during the return trip, any objections?” I asked as I prepared myself to leave the carriage.
“None, my lady.”

“My girls and I have heard so much about your cousins from the capital. I hear that they are all quite dashing and that one of them is even searching for a bride?” She continued. “I heard that they will be present during the official ball in the spring.”-Gods, they knew more about Vivanna’s family than I did. -“I see,” I said then sighed.Despite all the visible social cues of disinterest that I showed the woman, she continued talking. Her daughters fidgeted awkwardly, and I cleared my throat.“What do you think, Sharon?” I asked

The Marquis left, and the beautiful red-haired woman on the other side of the door did not cease beckoning me.“Marquess, Elizabeth,” I announced her title stiffly, then continued. “I’d rather not enter.”“Marquess? Me? Oh honey, what did I do wrong? You call me Liza! Please, call me Liza?” the older woman pouted. “Or did I actually offend you in some way?”She did not look that much older than Vivanna, perhaps, only by a few years. Liza looked as though she was in her early or mid-thirties, but with vampires who could tell. More importantly, Vivanna had friends?The Marquess pulled the heavy looking double doors inside the room. This act revealed the fullness of her beautiful gown. She had on a strapless red gown. The bodice was embroidered in gold while the skirt was bouffant, layered in multiple lace fabric. Both the matching set glittered, but it was more that the accessories reacted with the light

“A mascarade ball?” I repeated puzzled.-Am I creating a new chain event or was Vivanna just never verbally invited to parties?-“Yes! It will be so fun!! Adults only and we will all be in disguises so…scandal!” she gushed.“Ahem,” Charlette cleared her throat loudly, and I chuckled.The Marquess was, well fun. Which I had to say was unexpected.“What? I can’t exactly throw a tea party, now can I?” The Marquess defended then tapped at her fangs.“People also thought that you shouldn't dye your hair, but you sure showed them,” Charlette added sarcastically.“Hey! I’ll have you know, white hair only spells potential, and it dyes so ‘fucking’ good.” She mouthed the curse word at me but enunciated everything else.“Whatever, Updo or…?” Charlette turned to her mother.“Hmm, I like your neck.

The Marquess fell silent then gazed at my frame, then to the ground.-Why was it so important for Vivanna to ‘get over things??’ why couldn’t we just ignore things until they went away? I am not Vivanna, so I don’t have to deal with her memories. I am already stuck with her life! I clearly need to draw a line somewhere!-“I’m sorry, I just…” The Marquess began breaking the silence.“Can’t you just assume that I've let things go? I don’t want to go there. Ever!” I said, in a harsher tone than I had anticipated.“I know, I'm sorry.” She placed her hand on mine. “But I just want you to know that if you do want to go ‘there’, I’ll be right here.”-She…she isn’t listening to me.--Well, whatever. We probably won't meet again.-“How long till the hypnotism wears off?” I asked Charlette, who was fa

“I'm done!” the young girl chirped startling both of us.“Beautiful!” the Marquess chirped a little too enthusiastically, disrupting the air of mystery that had formed around us.“I-,”The Marquess placed a finger on her lips.“That will give us something to discuss during the mascaraed ball, don’t you think?”-Son of a bitch!!--Still, maybe if we could find this mage…I can get to the bottom of what is responsible for my presence here and maybe find my way back home.-“Aunt Viva! Aunt Viva! How do I look?” the girl twirled, showcasing her beautifully done hair and dress.Her hair looked wonderful, her updo simple with her long white hair twirled at its ends. She had a golden necklace on that drew one’s gaze to her neck and diamond stud earrings, with a golden lining that glittered matching her dress, while the diamond her hair.-She is really

A few hours before the ball“Is..aak.” Vivanna moaned his name, as he felt her tight walls twitch around his hard shaft, and he couldn’t help but release himself into her as she cradled his neck in her arms, as though she was promising to shield him from the world, and he was lost.Wholly and utterly undone, enchanted by whatever sorcery she had used on him.Her body fell heavily against him, and a crippling sense of regret coiled its way up to his belly.

I sipped my newly refilled cool drink as I walked out of the dim hallway.“My lady,” Vincent called.He was the first person I spotted in the busy ballroom filled with mingling couples, but perhaps that was because he stood close to the hallway that I was set to emerge from.I know that that was just a minor detail, but I found myself smiling at him, it felt nice having a knight or rather, to have someone wait on me.I couldn’t tell if it was the wine that had elevated my mood or the lively conversation; either way, the first thing I did was tease him.“You said to only stay away from Bryant and Dominic, you never mentioned that you were incapable of handling the Marquis,” I said, crossing my arms playfully over the fabric of my dress.The feel of the smooth fabric rubbing against my skin exhilarated me, because, with every movement, the dress clung to my curves, reminding me of fun nights out

When the room had settled, and there were fewer eyes on us, Vincent and I began our inconspicuous shuffle to the end of the hall. There was an isolated spot that led to an even more isolated and well-lit balcony.“There,” I whispered to him, pointing the lucky balcony and we began marching towards it. Vincent lifted the heavy black curtains with cursive golden patterns that covered the glass balcony door for the both of us and as soon as he did, the bright balcony light exposed our position, due to the differences in lighting in the two rooms. Still, it was only for a brief second as we snuck out into the cold night.

I know, I know, I promised more Vivanna and Kassian, but as I was writing, the Envian arc turned out bigger than I thought it would. {Please don’t stone me, I am a terrible planner} So, I decided to focus on background information that will play key roles in book two. Though I wanted to add more Envian adventures, it wouldn't be fair to do so burned out; that way, I can give more thought to their relationships and the flow of the story. This is a great place to end book one and perhaps take a breather before I start planning for book two. So far, you have met or 'heard of' (ahem) the major leads, and now book two will be centred on: Daisy, Erden, Kassian, Bryant, the demon, a bit of travelling to different continents with Isaac and more of fierce Vivanna, lol, unfortunately, the bumbling and uncertain Vivanna dies in book one and comes back far more villainous in book two. I’d also like to thank you so much for reading.

“Wake Field Dutchy, ran by the Mint household, has acres and acres of farmland where we plant various kinds of tea….”The meeting went on in that fashion until finally, Augustine called on me.“I’d like to hear what Portburgh has to offer?” he said.Snickers filled the hall as whispers of ‘country bumkin’ and ‘harlot’ surfaced.“Well, this is a surprise,” I said, then stood from my seat, letting the white dress flow freely from my body.“As you know, Portburgh is on the south of Envia-,”‘Is she giving out geography lessons to stall?’….-Yes, I am-‘Probably reminding herself of its existence.’-Give it a rest.-“…and North-east of Cursix.” I cleared my thoughts, and my mind flashed back to the map of portburg in Vivanna’s office, “ You said that Aquellia and Dia were l

“Well, did you hear me call you?” the spectacled stranger prodded, ignoring the sensation in his hand.“Apparently, I did not. Do you just make it a hobby to harass the first gorgeous thing you see?”“Hah,” the man scoffed, “I’d hardly call you gorgeous.”“green is not a good colour on you.” I retorted.Seeing as I was successfully bantering with a stranger, that had to mean that he, knew ‘Vivanna’, knew me.Either way, it's best to keep chatter short. That way, I can limit the suspicions.“So? What the hell do you want.”Was I coming on too strong?“The prince says that you do not need to attend the seminar. The ceremony must have worn y-,”I placed my hand before him to silence him.“First of all, do not tell me how I feel. That is terribly insulting, but seeing as you just grabbed my hand so violently-&rd

The purple patch of discolouration on the King’s neck was proof of poisoning, yet he could stand before me, before all the nobles in the room and pretend that there is nothing wrong with him.Patricide, in nobility, is not rare. In fact, when I was reading about his death, I didn’t particularly find it shocking that his son was poisoning him, however seeing it with my own eyes…“Child, your father would be proud to see you stand here today.”I doubt it. The glimpse of him from my nightmares told me that I could do nothing to make him feel proud.“yes.” I smiled.“I heard that you lost your concubine.” He sighed, “sometimes things like that happen, but I hope that you will be careful in wrapping up this matter.”“Even though he is a fallen prince, he had allies.” The King whispered to me, “If it is not handled well, this matter could cause a nationwide war.&r

“…and now, I declare, you, Lady Vivanna Pursioe Rorei, the official dutchess of Portburgh and an official part of one of the two dutchy households in the kingdom of Envia.” The King, a frail white-haired man, announced before applause filled the room.The event was more exquisite than I had imagined. If Kassian hadn't gifted me a white and red gown to wear to the event, I probably would have been embarrassed.Still, it's ten a.m, and everyone is in dresses rather than pyjamas. I can't really say that I favour the culture of this world…‘This world’…My world?That stupid mage, saying shit like that then paring it with ‘the people involved in the reincarnation spell, ‘including you’, had their memories distorted and gave something up because what we did was against all known laws,’So, according to him, I owe a whole lotta people but have no recollection of it.

READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. SENSITIVE TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED “Okay, last question, Why did you want to assassinate the prince of Envia.” “I didn’t.” I shrugged, “I just wanted to hit him. That can’t be classified as an assassination attempt. I mean, for god's sake, his face is soo….” I sighed. “I..wouldn't have tried to if he…if he didn’t look so much like Rodrick. Basically, it was a momentary loss of ….” I sighed then my lips sealed themselves shut before the next words could flow from me. “Hmm, are you going to proceed?” “If I don’t want to, does that mean that we can proceed with my questions now?” “Well, yes, but I do intend to pay in kind.” He shrugged, and I rolled my eyes. “When…” my voice broke, I never in a thousand years thought that I could confess this…untold tragedy to anyone. The full day’s events were a secret that I had vowed to take to my grave, but at this point, what

“Where am I?” I asked, my voice sounding groggy or was it lazy? All I was certain of is that my body felt weak and I, myself, felt weary. -Why, why was I throw into the past? Why do I keep coming back as Vivanna?- “Wow, you don’t even want to know who I am?” I was in the same dress that I had gone to the ball in, only barefoot. I made myself more comfortable by sitting cross-legged on the ground. I stared down at the floor once more, or rather the cosmos then sighed. Even if I were to search for clues…this situation is way beyond my control, and frankly…I am tired. More than just physical exhaustion, I think I have just had enough. “Neiwei? Is he alright?” I asked, and the man frowned. In fluid movements, probably because his legs had turned to inky smoke, he flowed to me, then with his sharp claws oozing his essence, he tilted my chin. “Ah… I see you had erased all the bad things that the goddess made you relive?” -The goddess

“What's this? A peace offering?” I asked, frowning at the cheap trinket she offered “No, you idiot, this is a birthday gift from me.” “I mean, I prefer money, but….” I said, then reached for the trinket. As soon as my hand touched the object she held, her pink eye turned golden, and as though that wasn’t bad enough, it began glowing. A chill crept up my spine, forcing me to still in my spot. The sounds that often framed nightfall were silenced, and even the air’s stillness could be felt. -The hell is going on? I can’t…move my body? - “Isn't it about time you wake up?” Milossa spoke in a voice that did not even sound like her own. Her lips were moving, yes, but they did not match her words. “Vivanna, or should I call you Annabelle?” the voice said, “You know of the tragedies that will befall you next. Last time your emotions were deeply disturbed, you had many people around you whose energies you could absorb, but right

“So…what? Do you want to take me out or something?” I joked.Well, my version of a joke anyway.The sound of the flickering of a lighter caused me to turn and face Monet, who already had a lit cigarette placed firmly on her lips.“Are you allowed to do that?”“Maybe not, but does it look like it changes anything?”“I never pegged you for the pessimistic type.”“Hmm…” she replied, then exhaled.The smoke pooling from her mouth framed her face, obscuring her dejected expression for only a few seconds.“I am dying, Annabelle.”“No shit, though I have to admit, this is the first time I am seeing a person die because of a disease.”“That’s rather cold-blooded, you brat!” she chuckled, then continued, “But, unfortunately for you, I am not ill, so I guess your goal has yet to be achieved?.
