Eyes of Death Chapter Nineteen
I CONFESS IT WAS AMUSING TO SEE THE SHOCK ON their faces when they saw me all dressed elegantly. "What are you scheming?" Adonis hissed, suspiciously."Good morning, for you two," I said calmly and smiling when they refused to look in my eyes. "And I am not scheming anything, do not worry, Prince Adonis," I could see how he flinched to hear that. "Prince Sohan," I said to the other dog, who grinned amusedly."You are acting very strangely today, Princess," Sohan said, caressing his chin. "It's better than your usual arrogant self, though. So, I don't mind." He turned to Adonis, "Let's not judge her without knowing anything, alright? Remember what Dai did last time he judged her with no proof!"Holding the urge to arch my eyebrows and ask what he knew about that, I stayed composed. "So, are you both here to accompany me during my day?"Adonis was staring at me as if another head had grown in my neck. "This is giving me goosebumps, go back to being a terrible human being," ha, he wa

THE ATMOSPHERE AROUND THE GARDEN ENTIRELY changed the second my high-heels touched the grass gracefully. I could feel it, and I also heard lots of feminine dramatic gasps. Sohan had intertwined our arms, probably not trusting me not to fall, and Adonis was right on my other side, cursing non-stop almost whispering.I could tell that there were about fifty girls here, with Daisuke and the Queen. Fifty-one with me. That was a sign that I was an extra, someone who wasn't here to actually participate in the trials but to be humiliated. They couldn't be more wrong.Taking my arm away from Sohan's, I elegantly walked in the Queen's direction, then I bowed. "Your Majesty, it's an honor to be in your presence this morning." Then I turned to where Daisuke was and bowed again. "Your Royal Highness, Crown Prince, it's present to be here as a member of the trials. Although I wasn't in my rightful mind when you insisted that I came, now I understand why. I'll do my best," then I focused my atten

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST THING in this whole situation? The fact that it's all being broadcasted to the entire Kingdom. That's probably why the Queen didn't scream at me and Rai as she probably would in private, and why she tried to brush away the fact that the Crown Prince hurt me.You see, the science here is quite good, and they can broadcast through a kind of water image that allows the people to see what's going on in the Crowned Princess Trials. Hov explained it all to me, so I could make better use of my situation, by bringing the people to my side, even if the people here all hate me. After, they may not be the ones to vote, but their voices are louder, and if they like me, the people here will hesitate to treat me like shit during the evaluations.However, Hov told me that it's only broadcasted during the girls' evaluations, like today.That's why I decided to give a strong impression because all the others have been in the view of people for about five weeks, plus tod

IF I ENDED UP ANSWERING THIS QUESTION wrong, I would anger the Gods' Temple, and that would definitely be terrible for me. "The oracles were once humans, but when the Gods bestowed them their power to see the future of anyone and of the world, they become Saints protected by the Gods Temple!" I'm sure this is right because it was the oracle back in the D'Arcy territory who told me this when I asked him what he was exactly.Rai let out a soft breath of relief behind me. And Daisuke seemed annoyed for me not falling into his trap. "To whom do they answer?" Only to the Gods.But that's not the answer they expect to hear. "To the Gods through the Gods' Temple, and to the rulers of the Kingdom!" Because they need the illusion that they aren't the ones who answer to the Gods' Temple."Last question, what is the Houses ranking in power in the Maximillian Kingdom?" So, he decided to end with an easy question, hm? Or doesn't he expect me to know basic politics?"From top to bottom, in powe
Eyes of Death Prologue
IT WAS HER 13TH BIRTHDAY, on the 2nd day of the 10th month of the year, when Avyanna asked me to take off the blindfold I usually use to cover my eyes so I don't accidentally use the power within them! She was my best friend, the sister I never had, even though she was two years older than me, we became inseparable and I loved her more than I ever loved myself. But I didn't want to do that. You must be curious about the reason why I have to always cover my eyes. It's simple, my eyes can see when and how someone will die. I just have to look at them in the eyes. Now you must understand why I never wanted to do it. But she was stubborn and told me that she would only accept that as a birthday gifted and that if I kept refusing it, she would stop talking to me. All the Royals I've met are quite persuasive, but Avy was the best out of them on that matter. And so, after she spent her party annoying me to do it, I gave in. I hadn't seen her face since I was 3 years old, when I awakened my
Eyes of Death Chapter One
IN OUR WORLD, NAMES HAVE A EXTREMELY STRONG POWER OVER A PERSON. To the point where it's neither your parents nor anyone else but the Oracle who chooses it. When a woman gets pregnant, she goes to the Oracle and it tells her a phrase that will describe the kid, and from that phrase, the name of the child is chosen. Mine is 'The well-behaved child who comes to help you in the dark'! And from that, my name became Nsomi Eileithya D'Arcy. Nsomi means 'a well-behaved child'. Eileithya means 'she who comes to help you'. And D'Arcy means 'dark' and it's the surname of my family. All the phrases the Oracle gave to all of the members of my dad's bloodline end with that single word, and so, that's also proof of who is and who isn't from our bloodline. The same goes for every other family. On the other side, the Royal Family's phrase always ends with Greatest, and so, the Royal surname is Maximillian, which has that meaning. Avy's phrase was 'the strong, powerful, and beautiful Princess betwee

I THOUGHT I WAS PREPARED TO SEE THAT, BUT IT WASN'T THE CASE. I should have seen it coming. It wasn't as shocking as Avy's death, but still. Daisuke Maël Maximillian. The great Prince between the greatest. It was his dagger that killed me. I don't know exactly how it happened. How I got attacked, but it was his dagger and pretty much his doing. But the worst part is: I'll die in two years. Two years… I'll only have a year to do everything I want, once I'll have to waste 12 out of my 24 months left, on that stupid competition for the Crown Princess position. A year will go to waste because of him and my life will also end because of him. Daisuke will be, literally, the death of me. In the worst way possible.But until there I can do whatever I want. Although I'm going to follow Avy's example and not tell anyone about it. If they ask me, I can just- "What the fuck do you think you are doing?" I heard Rai's deep and angry voice coming from my doorstep, and then I turned to see him, i
Eyes of Death Chapter Three
I HAD A LIGHT-PINK BLINDFOLD ON, THIS TIME, AND MY DRESS MATCHED. Honestly, I don't like to wear dresses, probably because I'm used to spending time on the training grounds always dressed in sweat shirts, trousers, and boots. That's my style. But only my family and Avy knew that, and they never told any outsider saying that 'it can taint our image', and things like that. But it's not like I hate dressing up like this. I don't hate it, and I understand why I have to do it. It's just that I would gladly choose not to, at least not every single time I go out of our territory. It can be annoying. When I was getting on the carriage, my brothers and Rai's best friend, Elodie Aoife Branwen {the wealthy and radiant white crow}, the daughter of Duchess Branwen, stopped me and got into it before. "How childish!" I mumbled annoyed and they stared at me, unbothered. "Why are you staring at me for?" "How do you know we are staring at you?" The girl questioned, sitting on my right, in a condesce
