Third Person's POVAfter the queen had passed out from throwing a fit from earlier, she was awoken by the footsteps of someone coming from outside. She thought to herself that maybe that is her lady in waiting planning to give her a meal. She feels kind of hungry at the moment and she has no idea how many hours has she been unconscious. Sitting on her soft bed, she waits until her lady in waiting finally enters her room carrying a tray with newly cooked soup. It was obvious by the steam that was swaying into thin air. "Your Majesty" the lady in waiting called upon Queen Rilavia and then bows her head. Noticing that the Queen is approving her actions, she did not hesitate to come near her and assemble her Majesty's dinner in bed. "How long have I been unconscious? Did the King heard about this?" The Queen asked. "Answering to your Majesty, you have been unconscious for four hours already. The King had heard about your situation but did not say anything."
Lady Molly's POVWhile I was carefully looking on the stamp that was on the letter, I heard fottsteps from the outside. Coud it be the people from the Capital? I immediately hid the unopened letter inside my sleeves and scanned the place that I was in. There's no one around inside my burned cottage but I can still hear tha footsteps that was coming for me. I did not let my guard down immediately because it could be someone that can cause me danger. I even walked towards the burned door that leads towards Levi's old garden. But before I could, someone grabbed me forcefully pinning me on the wall while pointing a dagger at my throat. "Where is the family that lived here?" I heard a man's voice talked with full killing intent. This kind of facade never scares me at all. And why was this unknown man looking for Levi's family? Does he know him? "Why should I tell you? I don't even know who you are," I bravely said. I heard him smirk and angrily leaned the sharpened dagger on my neck even
Yve's POVThe banging inside where I let Luna hid were bringing me a lot of pain. I wanted to let her inform our parents. Even Lady Molly, but we just can't. Due to our situation right now running like a mice being chased by a cat, attracting a lot of attention could bring us all to our dead end.I was holding the dagger behind me waiting for the guy Luna was talking about. Soon, I heard clanking of iron getting nearer. I took a deep breathe and position myself near the window.The unknown man soon made it's appearance. He was bald and had a lots of scar carved on his naked torso. He scanned the room carefully like he was looking for something. Or should I say, looking for us. Luckily, he did not turn his head from where I was standing still. He looked down again from where his friends was."There's no one in here! Are you sure you've seen the Albino girl in here?" He exclaimed.I heard no response on his questions. But before he could tilt his head towards my direction, I swiftly sli
Ever since the mysterious itch sent numerous people to their own grave, the neighboring kingdom decided to shut their communication and friendship towards the Kingdom of Argania. King Natan was very furious because of this but he cannot do anything about it because after years of acquiring the mysterious itch, the cure hasn't been found yet. His hair are starting to show silver lines and wrinkles above his forehead are getting more visible. He also suffers from hallucinations from time to time making him look like the crazy King. The Kingdom of Argania had been on a bloodbath after years had passed. There is no one to tend the corpses that has already rotten on the streets. All of them were busy hiding, isolating, and surviving from this plague. Some physicians that had survived, discovered that this certain events is caused by a certain animal. But no one knows what kind. Queen Rilavia on the other hand had stayed on her youthful years. She hadn't aged at all. But the power she i
Yve's POV"Come on now, Luna. We have been practicing archery for weeks! Father would be furious if he saw you not having any progress," I told Luna gently while my hands are on my hips. It has been years ever since we lived on the Northern Forest. But we cannot find peace because the people of Argania are still pursuing us. Me and my twin Luna had finally understood why were they after us. Our father, Levi made us understood our situation. And that is why here we are, practicing archery for our self defense. ''But it is really hard! My hands are still shaky. I think archery is not for me sister." Before I could even answer her back, our mother called us inside our small cottage shouting that it's time for dinner. We have no choice but to get inside or else she will be angry again.We've reached the age of seventeen and we cannot act like little girls anymore. Lady Molly who hasn't changed for the past few years also taught me different kinds of herbs and crystals that might be usefu
''Lucia, you know how much I loved you. I won't give up on you and that child you are carrying. As long as I am alive, you don't have to worry about anything else,'' Levi carefully said to his wife to be as they lie beneath the bright moon and the shining stars witnessing their endless love. The two of them had been together for years now and Lucia was able to conceive a child last March. It was already October fourth and her belly is starting to grew even bigger than it was before. Lucia decided to hug her beloved as she got the assurance that she wanted because she knows that Levi's family doesn't accept her for their only son as they know that her family was labeled as the poorest of the poor. Her father is a lumber and her mother is a maid in the household of Lord Lewis. Having this kind of family background, surely is very shameful to those families who have it better than people like her. She is very anxious when it comes to their relationship because she knows that Levi's fam
Deep in the woods of Argania, one lovely cottage is to be seen by some lucky travelers wandering the mysterious forest that they almost thought it consists of magical beings. But the truth is, one humble family lives here away from the people of the land. Flowers and vines almost succumb the property making it very mesmerising through naked eye. Each day, the cottage will be filled with blueberry pie scent inviting some of the gentle animals that is with them in the woods. It seems like the owners of this property likes baking stuff like this. ''Mother, it is done! Luna and I practiced baking for you to try,'' as the little girl said this, the so called mother immediately checked upon her daughter's pastry and she was delighted by just the smell of it. "You two really take after your mother's cooking. How nice is that?'' the woman said as she took a piece of the pie and savour it with her mouth. A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she caressed both of her daughter's hair and
Molly's POV I was awaken by the sounds of a crow outside my wooden window inviting the cold breeze that is coming from the huge trees outside my cottage. The morning hasn't show itself yet but the skies are starting to emit the colour of the usual morning sky. I didn't got up early on my bed that is covered with wool fabric that kept me warm every cold evenings that passed me by. This day, I planned to gather some materials for my witchcraft that I have been practicing for many years. My bedchamber is almost filled with different crystals and dried herbs hanging on the stone walls creating a musty smell surrounding the air that I breathe inside this room. Before I decided to go out, I looked for my book of shadows and hid it under my bed to avoid Yve from finding it. I know that she usually come inside here because her smell and aura doesn't disperse even after how many hours have already passed. When I opened by bedroom's door, a dark hallway greeted me symbolising that the fami
