Chapter XVII
“Your Highness, you were accused of murdering one of your concubines.” the judge said.
They were in the crown room, the King was standing next to the judge while Prince Ayas stood before them. The nobles were surrounding them and the family of the dead fairy were there too.
“Your honour, I haven't done such a horrible thing,” Ayas said with a calm voice.
“The other concubines certified that Lady Lithua spent the night in your chambers. You were the last person who saw her before her death.”
The Prince sent a death glare to his concubines who were nervously standing behind him. “She indeed spent the night with me, but I made sure she left my chambers before dusk. You can ask my guards, they saw her leaving.”
The judge looked at the guards, “Is it true gentlemen? You saw her leaving?”
“Yes, your honour,” one of the guards spoke. “She left before dusk. She looked alri

DIAMOND Chapter XVIII
“Oh my god! They kissed!” Ruvyn's eyes grew wider. “I knew that the king was the perfect man for him. I knew it!” he clapped his hands.(⚠ Spoiler: for those who want to read His Majesty.)Jimmy giggled. He just read a part when the rude king finally confessed to his brother's husband and kissed him against a tree.“I want this to happen to me,” Ruvyn said with a dreamy voice. “I wish Nieven was more open about his feelings.”“Why? Doesn't he tell you that he loves you?”“Rarely,” Ruvyn sighed. “He's very quiet. He helps me, protects me and always smiles at me, but he never says that he loves me.”“But he loves you!” Jimmy said. “Isn't it obvious?”Ruvyn stared at the boy and smiled sadly. “Sometimes, you want to hear that someone saying I love you,” he gently ruffled his hair. “You'll understand it when you'll
DIAMOND Chapter XIX
Jimmy didn't know what made the moment more magical, the fact that golden dust was falling from the rainbows, or the fact that the king of Fantasia just kissed his lips.He felt his heart bursting inside his chest when Taegen stared at him with his beautiful purple eyes, when he gently touched his cheek, caressed his hair and closed the gap between them.Jimmy only read about kisses or maybe sometimes saw one in a movie. In his books, he always considered a kissing scene between the main characters as something very important in the story. He would surprisingly get so happy and excited about it like he was the one living it. Now, it was different—better.Having Taegen's lips on his, kissing him gently and softly like he was the most fragile creature in the world. The way he was cupping his cheek with his hand just made him want to lean on it forever. The way his other hand was shyly squeezing his thigh made things even better.Jimmy didn't know what to do, he
DIAMOND Chapter XX
The next day, Nieven went to the nursery to check on his patients, a cook who burnt his hand and a pregnant fairy. He gave them the herbs he spent the night mixing for them."This burn is very serious so it will take time to heal," he said, examining the ogre's hand. "Just make sure not to expose your skin to the sun.""Alright." the cook sighed."How about the baby? Does he still kick your belly?" the healer smiled at the female."He is already strong," the fairy laughed. "I cannot wait to give birth.""One more month and we will welcome him among us." Nieven smiled. "Just be patient and rest well please.""I heard the king has changed lately," the cook spoke. "The maids said that he is more smiley and relaxed.""Oh, right! He even wished me a good morning earlier!" the fairy exclaimed.Nieven rubbed his chin. "I wonder what is going on," he mumbled. "I spend most of my time in my study, this is why I don't know what is happen
DIAMOND Chapter XXI
When Jimmy opened his eyes, the only thing he saw was that the room was different from his. It looked bigger and brighter. The walls were decorated with beautiful and strange paintings where multicoloured flowers were moving and shining. He felt an arm around his waist and then he remembered how the duke insisted on him to spend the night in his chambers. He felt his warm breath against his neck and the nice scent of lavender coming from his long hair.Jimmy nervously stared at him, he looked more calm and peaceful than he usually was. He could see how long his lashes were now that his eyes were closed and how thin his lips were. Nylian was one of the most beautiful males he had ever seen in his entire life, and also the second one to make him feel so confused— after the king of course.Speaking of him, now he finally had the time to think about what happened the day before. He was excited to spend the afternoon with the king but he didn't expect all those surpri
DIAMOND Chapter XXII
After the duke left, he took advantage of his absence to open the book about the Emius once again. He was dying to understand what the purple colour he saw on Taegen's eyes meant.As he was flipping through the big book, he read a lot of interesting things he didn't know about these strange creatures. The one that struck him the most was the fact that the Emius are the most sensitive creatures when it comes to a breakup or the loss of someone very dear.It hurt him to learn that the king suffered a lot after the death of his wife. From what he read, they lock themselves in a dark space for a long time without eating or drinking. They move away from their loved ones, which is why his relationship with his friends was no longer the same and most importantly, it's hard for them to love again. This made the boy think a lot. Did this mean that what he told him the day before wasn't out of love? Did it mean that he only got confused?Jimmy read a few more pages, but t
DIAMOND Chapter XXIII
Nylian came back to Velvus during the afternoon. Prince Ayas was declared innocent but the case was still not closed. The fairy's murder was still a mystery to them.“Jimmy!” he called right after he stepped inside the mansion.Jimmy absent only for a few hours and the duke already missed the young man. “Jimmy!”He took off his coat and headed to the library, knowing he spent most of his time there. He opened the door with a large smile on his face, but it was empty. He raised an eyebrow and walked to his room. Jimmy wasn't there either.“Your Grace,” the butler bowed to him. He looked quite nervous and disturbed.“Do you know where Jimmy is?”“Your Grace...” Karlyle rubbed the back of his neck.The Duke sighed. “Karlyle, where is Jimmy?”The butler pressed his lips, “I am sorry your grace, I should not have let him go out.”“What d
DIAMOND Chapter XXIV
Jimmy was sitting in the dark dungeon, his face hidden between his knees. If he was scared months ago when he was jailed in Taegen's castle, this time he was terrified.This castle was nothing welcoming. The interior was dark, only small candles lit up the corridors. There was a horrible smell of mould, proof that it wasn't being taken care of.The creatures inside were terrifying. The majority resembled the one he attacked in the forest the other day.Jimmy stared at the bars and sighed, remembering what the Prince told him earlier.“What do you want from me?” he asked.Adalis sat on his throne and smirked, “There are two things that I want from you.”Jimmy gulped, “What are they?”“First of all, my brother's unhappiness,” the Prince said. “Oh, you don't know how much I cannot stand seeing him smiling.”The boy frowned, “What does it have to do with me?” he asked.Adalis started laughing, “He doesn't know!” he told his guards wh
DIAMOND Chapter XXV
Jimmy was sitting on the floor, watching the moonlight from the small window at the top of the wall. He would jump every time he heard footsteps. He thought it was Adalis coming to shave his hair, but it always ended up being a guard.It had been a long time since he felt so lonely. It reminded him of his life on earth, he was always alone, without friends, without family and anyone at his side. His arrival at Fantasia changed the whole stream of his life. He met creatures who were very friendly and caring to him like Ruvyn and Nieven, attentive and protective like Nylian, confusing and mysterious like Taegen.His thoughts turned to the voice that surprised him from time to time. He had no idea who it was, but he felt like he had a strong connection with that woman.“Who are you?” he whispered, hoping she would answer him. But it seemed like her voice appeared only to put him in a strange situation like this one.“I can't trust you anymo
