Chapter 6

Autor: Dawn Ether
As Tristan bombarded the royal physician with questions, he watched the physician intently, clinging to the faintest hope like a drowning man grasping at a lifeline.

He wanted the royal physician to nod. He wanted him to say that I had taken some kind of death-inducing potion, that I was only pretending to be dead.

The royal physician sank to the floor, sweat pouring down his face.

"My lord, I've only ever heard of such a potion," he finally said in a trembling voice. "I've never seen one my

  • Bearing His Heirs to Buy My Family's Lives   Chapter 9

    Before King Arthur could say another word, Tristan drove the dagger all the way into his chest.To make sure King Arthur was dead, Tristan dragged his body to the execution grounds and ordered his head cut off. Then, carrying the severed head, he strode out of the palace as though he owned the place. Those who witnessed the scene could only stare in horror. To them, Tristan looked like the devil himself, risen from hell. After putting down the rebellions led by the first and third princes, Tristan helped the seventh prince, who had only just come of age, ascend the throne. Then he cleared the Moore family's name. The common people, however, knew nothing about the intricate power struggle between the royal family and the great noble houses.All they knew was that they were baffled. Barely six months ago, the Moore family had been brutally executed on Tristan's orders. How, then, could they suddenly be declared innocent?No one could give them an answer. Soon afterward, Tr

    "If it weren't for you, Isolde would never have had to witness any of this," Tristan snarled, clamping a hand around Rosalind's throat. "Why would you do such a thing? How could you be so cruel?"To his surprise, Rosalind summoned enough strength to shove him away. Her hair had come loose, but she couldn't care less."Have you forgotten that you murdered all five of your own children?" she spat. "Stop pretending to be a righteous man! If I'm cruel, it's only because I learned from you!"Let me tell you the truth. I lied about needing the blood from an infant's heart to restore my health. Every time it was sent to me, I poured it away. Something so disgusting wasn't fit to pass my lips."Well, how does it feel to have murdered five of your own children with your own hands?" Tristan's grip on her throat tightened. For a moment, he genuinely wanted to strangle her to death. "Go on. Kill me," Rosalind taunted, not even struggling. "Once I see Gerald and Mr. Shelby in the afterlife,

    Alarmed, Tristan's agent rushed forward to support him. "My lord! Please, you must take care of yourself!"Tristan tried to shove them away, but he no longer had the strength to do so. Every breath sent a sharp, throbbing pain through his chest. He let out a heart-wrenching cry right in front of his guards as memories of his time with my family came rushing back. My parents had always treated him as their own son.Even my brother, Thomas, had once told him, "I wouldn't trust anyone else with my sister, but I trust you. You're the only man I'd feel comfortable leaving her with."Don't make me regret putting my faith in you. If you ever mistreat her, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!"Yet because Tristan had refused to trust us, my entire family had been thrown into prison. Even after death, their bodies had been subjected to the most degrading treatment. The truth had come to light just four hours after my death. If only the truth had been revealed four hours earli

"My lord, I've only ever heard of such a potion," he finally said in a trembling voice. "I've never seen one myself. Besides, its effects can last no longer than 12 hours. The pulse may grow faint, but it's still there and can be detected with a careful examination."But this lady's pulse… it's truly gone."The light in Tristan's eyes faded once more. He swayed, barely steadying himself against the bedpost. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the royal physician. Only then did Tristan drop to his knees with a heavy thud. "I'll wait 12 hours for you," he murmured. "Just 12 hours. Then you'll wak

    Tristan caught my limp body just in time, dropping to one knee as he cradled me in his arms."Isolde! Wake up!" he shouted. "What good will pretending to be unconscious do? Get up and look. Look at what's happened!"When my family's bodies were burned, I hid behind the ornamental rocks in the garden and watched everything with my own eyes. Who do you think you are to faint now? Get up!"Tears spilled down his cheeks as he continued shaking me, but I never responded. Now, I could only watch everything unfold as a disembodied soul. I had to admit, in the instant I died, all I felt was relief. And yet, I still couldn't bring myself to look at the execution grounds. I was powerless, and all I could do was run away. "System, why am I still here?" I asked, turning my back on the execution grounds and trying to make myself as small as possible."Data deletion in progress. Once the process is complete, you may return to your original world."When Tristan realized I still wasn't re

    I sat up, my head still spinning, but forced myself out of bed. No matter what, I had to see my family one last time. I'd barely taken two steps when the door burst open. Tristan stormed in, seized me by the throat, and slammed me against the edge of the bed. "Rosalind was kind enough to pay her respects to your child, and you had the nerve to push her!" Tristan roared. "She's only just found out she's pregnant! How could you be so heartless? You vile, vicious woman!"Do you have any idea that you've just killed another member of my family?"So he was capable of mourning a dead child after all. He knew how much it hurt a mother to lose her baby. When Rosalind lost hers, it was my fault. He blamed me for being a heartless monster. But when my babies died, they said it was karma and that it was a sign that I was never meant to have children. The absurdity of this was beyond me. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Tristan hissed, pain and hatred warring in his eyes. "Aren't
