The loud growl of the Darkrai burst on the dark forest making the knights trembles on their feet.
"Calm down Gray, there's still next time. You're going to see her next time," the man said, the highest among the Aristocrats, the Emperor of Corceigea.
Horror was seen on the knights eyes when the Emperor cut off the head of the knight he ordered to guard the lady.
He didn't know that there was a disciple inside the house, he thought that it would be easier for him to get the daughter of God especially when she's living with ordinary humans, that was his thought.
Disciples are known to be a soul from God's divinity, they are born from the hearts of the Dragon that's why they are able to fill their souls inside a vessel.
He didn't know that the man named Mathias was no longer human, but a vessel. He was sure that the soul inside was from the God himself, it was powerful
"Come on, show me."Griselda shuddered with horror thinking that there's no way she can escape the mountain alive especially in the hands of the Emperor, the ruthless among the rulers.Jake tried to fight them, but even his sword couldn't go against the knights. There's no escape for them, they can only pray for themselves to be saved by the God."Hmm? Don't wanna tell? It's just a simple question though, where is she? Where's Finesia? How come you're trembling when I'm just asking a question?" he asked with his baritone tone."Your majesty, have mercy on us. Please kill me instead of killing my wife, she doesn't have to do with this. I was at fault," Mariano pleads.The Emperor looked down on him like he was seeing a rat begging for a leftovers."That's too sweet, I wanna be like that too. Saving your love from death, but how could I even grasp such romance when you
15 years later, Central Capital of Corceigea Empire...The horns started to make noise when the large troupe of the knights entered the entrance of the Central capital. The people welcomed the knights with their smiles and congratulations for the victory of the war between the Corceigea and Anaraya Empire.Servants and nobles are caught, they were marching with their bodies imprisoned by the long thick chains.When the knights arrived at the entrance gate of the Corceigea Palace, the Emperor was there, leaning against the gate while holding his sword.They bended their knees simultaneously and greeted the Emperor."It's been a while captain Rosell," the Emperor said.The captain bowed. "We caught around six nobles from the Anaraya your Majesty, we also dragged the servants who can be used as a slave.""Hmm
Leonardo woke up with Finesia on his arms, he stared at her with his thought of 'was it a dream?' and remembered that it wasn't because he felt how numb his arm was because of Finesia's head resting on his arm.He stared longer until he decided to get up. The Butler came with his startled face moving his eyes on Finesia who was in her deep sleep."Your Majesty?" he asked with his mouth left opened.Leonardo grinned. "Prepare the dining area, I would like to have my breakfast with her."The Butler who wasn't even able to analyze his thoughts nodded and left with his face unable to figure out what sort of emotion he would make.Upon arriving at the kitchen, his thoughts combined and realized that the Emperor who doesn't have any concubines for about two hundred years has a woman and worst, the woman was sleeping on the Emperor's bed without worries.He shook of his worries and ordered the
"I've got something to say your Majesty," Duke Salvador said.He remained after the nobles left when the meeting ended.Leonardo's eyebrows furrowed while stroking Finesia's head who was sitting on his lap. Finesia moved his eyes on the Duke's direction before going back to Leonardo."What is it?" Leonardo asked.He coughed before he spoke. "It might be very rude to ask, but what is this young lady to you your Highness? I've been with you since I was born and neither I could think that you would have your concubine."Leonardo's lips moved before he grinned. Duke Salvador has been loyal to him since then, from his grandfather until to him.There's no way that Duke Salvador would go against him."She's going to be my wife," he answered casually.Duke Salvador flinched for a bit before he sighed. "You've been alone on your rein your Majesty so I won't barge in, but let me tell you an
━14 years before... "Mathias let me ride on your back please," I said while pouting.My feet looks swollen since we've been walking in this forest for about three hours.He stopped before he turned around wearing a bored expression. "You're becoming a child now Finesia." He turned his back from me before lowering down his body.I smiled and ride on his back. My arms were wrapped around his neck while I rest my head on his left shoulder."Where are we going?" I asked.He started walking while carrying me on his back. "We're going to find a shelter, it's getting dark," he answered.We've been like this since then, moving in each and every destination to find our food and shelter.It was for our survival, to strive hard to earn our surviv
"Get them! They aren't far away, don't let the sinners live!"The lady ran faster as she can while carrying the baby who wasn't even breathing but her eyes were opened looking at the lady's face.The people who was after them kept searching the whole forest where they last saw the lady."Don't worry Finesia, I'll keep you safe so hang in there my baby... be with mum."She felt numb on her chest and realized that she was hit by an arrow. She vomits and blood came out from her mouth but she didn't stop from running.She was only thinking of saving her baby, to not let anyone see her, the eyes of the God and a mortal, the eyes of the truth.People will kill her without even seeing the beautiful world created by her father so she, as her mother, should save her baby."Ack... " She stumbled and felt the pain from her left knee that was hit by an arrow.She starts
"Sia! Where are you?"I hid myself on the tall grass when I saw Leia trying to find me, when she was gone from the place where I am hiding, I ran faster and went to the mountain where flowers can be seen.I laughed as I lay down on the beautiful flowers. Leia would be angry if she found out that I'm in the mountain again. It's not far from the castle and this is the only place where I can run freely. The castle together with the mountain filled with flowers are hidden after the dark cave, that's what Lily told me. No man can enter our castle without walking pass to the dark cave.So I am not afraid of going out, wearing my unique eyes. My eyes are different side by side, my left eye is blue and my right eye is the color of the sun they say. When the night comes, my eyes would change and the pictures of the sun and the moon will be visible in my eyes."Sia? Is that you?!"I was about to run when I saw Lylia fled
"Is this your house my lady?" I didn't respond, I was just examining him from head to toe while holding the long broomstick. I kept my distance for about five meters away and didn't let my gaze avert from him. He awkwardly smiled and brushed off his messy hair. He was avoiding my gaze and stayed on his place without moving. After I held his hand earlier, I stomped his feet and ran away from him. "I'm not really a bad guy my lady, I was just lost. I haven't figure out a way for me to go back, I was chased by a monster and found this castle." I tilt my head like a dog and fumed my forehead. "You look like the monsters from the outside." He raised his hands and shake his head repeatedly. "I'm not a revolting monster, I'm an innocent man. I was lost... Really. " "No man can enter this castle, only the monsters so you're a monster!" I hissed and pointed the broomstick on his direction.
