Blood and Darkness Chapter 40: Make You Slaves
"Well..." Nerissa only laughed. Even her laugh was not evil-like, it was as soft and sweet as her voice. I wonder why she had to through to the extent of luring men and killing them back when she was a living witch? But I guess that is too much to ask, and why would it be my business, anyway? It has nothing to do with me, so all I should think of is how we can finish this as soon as possible so we can get out of this place at once. I hate all the monsters and I hope I won't see another kind of monster again. Fighting with monsters is time consuming and worthless so if I only have a choice, I won't fight with them. I just really hopes that Lancelot is skilled and strong enough to fight those strong monsters outside."You are wrong, I'm not a princess. She is the only the princess between us," I said and glanced at Lucia.Nerissa raised a brow, the corner of her lips rose slightly, evilly. It was like there was something in her mind that she chose not to say. I can't figure out what it
Blood and Darkness Chapter 41: Angel of Death
The moment the three monster guards saw us approaching, they immediately sauntered forward to attack."Let me handle this. You two go in first. I will follow after I kill these monsters," Lancelot said before he touched the stone near him and made a long and huge axe out of it."You sure?" Lucia asked.Lancelot smirked. "Don't underestimate me, young princess."Lucia's eyes widened. "Young princess? How did you-""Go now," Lancelot cut her off before he leaped to face the monsters head on. I didn't waste any time and pulled Lucia towards the entrance of Nerissa's den. As expected, it was the part of the River of Flames with the most fire. A norma person would surely not take it. But because I can manipulate fire and I'm protecting Lucia, we are able to successfully infiltrate it."Do you feel hot or burning?" I asked Lucia to make sure."No. I feel warmth, but not to the point that I feel burning so you have nothing to worry about."Just steps after we enter Nerissa's den, we suddenl
Blood and Darkness Chapter 42: Vomiting Blood
"You are so feisty, little girl. I bet you can even do nothing with my pets here..." Nerissa said and all the six snakes around her hissed."To tell you the truth, you just look like your pet. So venomous. I didn't thought being punished by a goddess will give someone a throne. Well, only that this throne of yours is kind of outdated and more like a dungeon for ugly monsters than a kingdom. You fit here perfectly, I must admit," Lucia retorted with a calm voice this time but the thought was lethal.Nerissa's eyes flared. "You... attack her!" The snakes crawled down her chair at once, and went approaching towards Lucia's direction. Though before the evil snakes could go near, they already turned into ashes after I had thrown small fire balls to them.Nerissa's look turned to cold silver cutting through me. "How dare you kill my pets! My knight, get over here and help me with my enemies!" she announced and a stone suddenly moved at the corner, it opened like a door. But what shocked m
Blood and Darkness Chapter 43: Secret Passageway
"I thought you don't want to be close to me? What is this?" he fired, now his eyes were intensely dark."I thought I made everything clear that day? Why did you choose me? To announce your dominance in front of my face because you're the superior?""So you're here to talk about that.""No. I went here to talk about something else."His eyes narrowed. "What is it?""Can we talk about it inside?"He was taken aback by that. I hope it sounded all right."The last time I remember, you were very eager to leave my chamber. Now, you want to go in?""Where else can we talk privately anyway?"There was confusion in his eyes but at the same time, there was a glint of interest.He opened the door and let me in first. He followed shortly, and closed the door behind him."Now let's get into business."I bit my lower lip and inhaled some air before finally speaking. He was just in front of me, waiting."I understand that I offended you the last time..."I couldn't keep my words straight."Hmm...""
Blood and Darkness Chapter 44: Royal Dinner
"Hello, ladies. I'm Celestina, the mistress of the court," said by an elegant woman probably two decades older than I am. I was thankful that she arrived. Her presence eased the tension earlier."I will assist the Crown Prince in molding each one of you, so that when time comes, the chosen lady has all the knowledge of what are the duties of a crown princess.""That would not be hard, Mistress. All of us are from noble families who studied right etiquettes since childhood-oh! Pardon, Ophelia. I forgot you are not a noble lady like the rest of us," Lady Lilian, the daughter of the first minister, said softly but lethally.I heard soft chuckles, only cut off by Mistress Celestina's voice."You are just a commoner. Am I right, Lady Ophelia?""You are." I'm not ashamed of my status. Why would I be? At least I am far from being criminal."All right. We are all clear. Ladies," she looked at the others, eyes strict. "She is here because like you, she was also chosen by the Crown Prince himse
Blood and Darkness Chapter 45: Trying to Flirt
The day dragged so slow with all the lessons. Demitri was not around till the night because he got an order from the King to do something outside the palace. So I just planned to tell him about my plans the following day.The whole palace was quiet busy the following day. Most of the servants were on the hall, preparing the tables, decorating the walls like there is an upcoming event."Good morning."I almost had a heart attack when someone suddenly spoke behind me."Apologies if I startled you," Demitri said as he went to my side. We are now both leaning to the bannisters above the huge hall."I thought you would not be around till next day?""Do you rather want me to leave?"I snorted. "I'm just curious but it doesn't mean I prefer you not around."A mischievous smile played on his lips."Does that mean you want me around?""Of course, so we can continue our business. I want nothing other than that.""Tss. Very cooperative," he mumbled which I heard but didn't understand."What?""N
Blood and Darkness Chapter 46: Proper Etiquettes
"What about Mistress Celestina? She would scold me-""Don't worry about that. I'll talk to her later," Demitri promised and led me to another secret passageway again."Where are we going?""On my private place. Just wait and see."After entering another door for the nth time, I can already see the blue sky outside. And there was a very nice smell everywhere. Freesias?"We are at what part of the palace?" I asked, my eyes fixed at the flowers beside the stone pathway."East. This is the Crown Prince's garden. No one is allowed here aside from the royal family.""Then why did you bring me here? Do you want me to be beheaded for trespassing in a private place?""There's an exception. Of course if the prince himself brought someone here, that won't be a problem.""Sure. Unless someone would see us going in such a private place.""Why would you be scared? If ever people would know that we are spending alone time together, that won't be a big deal since you are here in the palace for a cert
Blood and Darkness Chapter 47: Tiring Formalities
I sighed when I was finally out of everyone's eyes. After having the meal, I excused myself for bathroom but I went to the garden to have some air. However, just when I thought I finally had my peaceful time alone, someone talked from behind that startled me."Why do you keep on startling me, Demitri?" I asked in a low but firm voice."Are you mad with me?" His careful voice calmed me. How would I be mad with him if he's asking that way? Such a wicked prince."You shouldn't have done that, you know?" But anyway, if I'm planning to be the temporary fiancée and crown princess, I should get used to that, right?Indeed, my lady.Always supportive when it comes to Demitri, aren't you, Raja?Just supportive to what is the best for my lady."Apologies if you didn't like that. I just can't help but ask. You seemed to lack appetite earlier."Which was not because the food was bad or didn't appeal to me. It was because I was intimidated eating with all those royal people around."Never mind. As
