All Chapters of CHOSEN: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

{Ciril’s POV}I was outside the Revel Hall like they said I would be.And I was tied there to the post as they said I would be.But then as an added compliment, I was stripped naked. Every worker or servant who passed by now seemed to have fun with their eyes and talk about my body and appearance before leaving.It was still the early hours of the day so the Reignile people hadn’t started coming yet. From what I had heard, the Guirgon full moon visits a few hours before midnight which meant that the people of the Reigns who had been invited would begin coming in during the evening.And so I was left out there in the open for the sun to dry and make harder the fecal matter that was on my body and for the wind to blow specks of dust into my eyes.I saw some of the maids and slaves I used to work with back then when I wasn’t tagged as the Kingslayer yet. I saw some of them pass by and gaze at me with clear disdain and irritation on their faces.Normally, this would break me but now, I di

{Ciril’s POV}My chest started heaving as my heart started to beat threateningly fast.I was not on the public post anymore. I was free. I was literally free to roam about, free to go anywhere I wanted to.— free to leave this place.But then I heard from the Hencher Mistress that we weren’t escaping anywhere… but going to her room. I was confused.Her room?I had been bound to heavy chains for more than two weeks just for her to set me free and want to take me to her room?I bombarded her with questions now as we raced through the shadows. The Palace lights and lamps were off so that the full Moon was the only light source which gave us the grace to move about sneakily, but then I was almost jinxing it with my restlessness and questioning.“But we’re not going to stay in your room, right?” I asked. “Did you forget something in your room?” “Does your room have a secret doorway that can help us escape secretly?” I asked again when she didn’t respond to the first two questions. She

{Prince Landon’s POV}~ Few Minutes Earlier ~ Everything was ready.The scene was set and everyone was here to witness my magnification by the moon goddess. Everything was perfect. Although I didn’t understand what happened with the whirlwind and sandstorm that had attacked the Palace earlier, but then it had calmed down while I trailed about the Palace and performed the Guirgon rituals with the Half elders. Without that ritual, I wouldn’t be able to earn and receive the moon goddess’s soul so I had done it with the half elders earlier during which the whirlwind calmed its currents, making my entrance into the Revel Hall more divine. There was no other proof I needed to know that I was definitely the destined vessel of the moon goddess and the candidate for the Guirgon full moon. This had made me really confident in myself but while we waited now, my confidence sprouted a bit of a scuffle.My mother wanted Ciril’s head to be brought here to the Hall as a gift from the congregation

{Ciril’s POV} I didn’t really understand how I got outside the room but I raced back inside now. I raced back and crashed on the ground before the Hencher Mistress who was surrounded by a pool of her own blood. I held her face— her beautiful face, as she blinked almost unconsciously and I shook her up a bit so that she focused her gaze on me. She smiled. “Ciril.” She called my name gently and shook my head as more tears poured out of my eyes. “Are you okay? Please tell me you’re not dying…” I muttered as I stroked her cheeks and then I looked around to see all the bodies that littered the ground. “Tenn… he stabbed you.” I muttered as I recalled and then I looked at the knife that was still in her belly. It was buried deeper now and seeing that broke me. “Ciril.” She called me but I ignored her as I tried to lift her up. She groaned with my attempt so that I immediately left her and panicked the more.“I can’t let you die.” I shot you to my feet. “I’ll go and get help.” I sugges

{The Hencher Mistress’ POV} “It’s Anne. Can you tell a story— the story of how a mother had to give up her child for the greater good.”“You’re about to die and Ciril who is out there wandering through the forest needs to know about the beginning so make me the new narrator by telling me.” I heard those words and I understood. I had lost so much blood but then I could afford to tell the tale before my life quenched.I started…**[Flashback To 17 Years Ago]I have not always been the Hencher Mistress of the Palace…I once had a daughter and a sick husband. But then my husband died from his sickness. He had been a General in the Royal army, hence why I was a mistress, but then his sickness killed him. My daughter and I were left alone but then life was still good— I loved my daughter and lived for her and my responsibility in her life made the pain of losing my husband go away soon.And so life was good.I was one of the esteemed Mistresses of the Palace and I lived my life to the fu
