108 On the Other Hand

That night I had a strange dream. The truth is, I rarely dream at all—and when I do, they are mostly nightmares, where I watch my beloved wife being killed, burned to ashes right before my eyes.

But tonight I dreamed of my little sister, Sabi. She was a unique girl. Many considered her, as they say, not quite of this world—odd and peculiar. She often drifted among the clouds and was far more thoughtful than her age would suggest, but I knew it was simply because she saw more than others did.

Sabi confided her visions to me, because she trusted me more than anyone else. Even our parents and older brother didn’t know what the little one shared with me. We had an incredible emotional bond, and I loved her more than any other member of my family.

“Kays,” my sister looked at me with her light-gray eyes, the same color as mine. “You’re my favorite big brother.”

“Really?” I laughed at such a bold declaration. “And what did Vielfdem do to deserve that?”

“Vielf is too proud and arrogant. I’m w

    “Come on, just a little more, and I’ll take off the blindfold,” my man says, leading me by the hand.“Before you murder me somewhere in the bushes, remember—I broke your curse, by the way!”I hear Kays let out a heavy sigh.“Don’t get your hopes up. I might fuck you—but for that, I need you alive.”“Oh! I’m not against that!” I laugh. With this man, I’m never against it.“Alright—one more step… and that’s it.”Kays unties the blindfold, and I fall into absolute rapture.We were standing on a small ledge before a vast lake, surrounded by the most breathtaking forest scenery. The sun was already setting, casting orange reflections across the water. But that wasn’t what stunned me most.At the bottom of the lake lay millions of small stones—and larger ones too—glowing in different colors, creating an utterly unreal picture.“Kays, this is incredible!” I squeal with delight, taking in this natural wonder. “Look—there are even schools of fish visible!”I turn toward my beloved and lose my

    No matter how good we felt in each other’s arms, the affairs of the kingdom did not stand still and required Kays’s involvement. For more than a week, we had barely left the bed, but a king must rule and receive various audiences.Kays didn’t want to let me go even for the duration of his so-called work. He sat upon the throne and received visitors, while I remained at his side, within his field of vision. Sitting on the queen’s throne felt far too pompous—and besides, I wasn’t a queen yet. No one had even hinted at that. So I chose a seat not far from the throne, at a small table, and studied that book and many others while Karadeylis ruled Virolia. Very often I caught the studying, mischievous glance of his gray eyes, but the moment I stuck my tongue out at him, Kays would smile and refocus on whatever his subjects were telling him.There were many visitors. First came reports from his scouts and guards about the situation in the kingdom. And there was little good news—magical creat

    “I saw her and couldn’t tear my eyes away. The brunette captivated my mind and refused to leave it. She turned out to be an orphan and was helping a local farmer with his goods. I started visiting the market more often, and that’s how everything began. We confessed our feelings to each other, and I wanted to make her my wife. My parents were not impressed at all—Bahira had no family or home. Laverna wasn’t exactly thrilled about my first love either, though she pretended to tolerate it. We secretly married in an ordinary temple, and the next day we appeared before my relatives as husband and wife. Oh, what a scandal that was!”I think I know exactly what kind of scandal it was. Clearly, that was the very one I saw in my dreams.“At that time, our lands were constantly under attack, and my marriage only added to my parents’ worries. I decided to prove myself in their eyes and gain magical power—to help defend our lands with magic and reduce the loss of lives. I knew there were certain

  • No Escape From Fate    152 The Story of the Curse

    My personal and beloved executioner of pleasure hardly ever let me out of his bedroom. One might say he finally got his fill. Though, to be honest, I had no desire to go anywhere myself. We simply couldn’t get enough of each other, couldn’t tear ourselves apart—like two thirsty travelers who had finally reached life-giving water.In the brief pauses between our whirlwind passion, we talked a lot and discovered entirely new sides of each other.“Maybe you’ll finally tell me how this curse came to be?” I asked, lying on my beloved’s strong chest and listening to his heartbeat.“It’s very simple—thirst for strength and power,” Kays sighed heavily. “Many years ago, the lands of Virolia were nothing more than a multitude of warring tribes and settlements. It was my grandfather—the great commander Dildan Karadeylis Bretyan…”At that, I burst out laughing.“What?” he asked.“So there really was a ruler with that name?” I couldn’t hold back my snort of laughter, while Kais clearly didn’t unde

    "So," Kays addresses the crowd of women again, having calmed down a little after my appearance. "You will each be allocated a certain sum of money to start your new lives. You probably won’t be able to live in luxury, of course, but it will be enough for a fresh start. If you spend it wisely—on education or on starting your own business—you can settle well in life. Buy yourselves a home, invest it, or get married—that’s up to you, and I frankly don’t care. You deceived me shamelessly, driven by greed, so be grateful even for this. Besides, in your former lives, most of you didn’t have even as much as I’m giving you now."Grumbling and complaining, the women followed Darius, who had just entered. He would arrange all the necessary payments. Left in the hall were Fisa, Madina, and Aifa, who approached us."And how exactly are we supposed to understand this?" Madina looks at us indignantly."Exactly as it is," Fisa bursts out laughing. "Damn, if I’d known that Kays was the king, I wouldn

    It seems we succeeded—but not entirely. It’s such a pity that Kays’s relatives remain a solid monolith. I would have loved to meet them, especially little Salsabil. After all, it was she who guided me in my search for the truth.Kays told me that his little sister possessed a certain gift—the ability to see the future—and that she clearly knew what awaited her and their parents. I think we would have gotten along well.Early that very morning, I discovered that my carpits had become colorful. It’s incredibly beautiful, especially considering that many buds had blossomed into gorgeous flowers I had never seen before.These changes didn’t affect only me. Kays’s carpits returned as well—and I practically squealed with delight over them! Stunning patterns ran all the way along his arm up to his neck, and one especially magnificent design lay across his chest, showcasing royal lineage and power. Paired with that wicked smirk and his perfectly sculpted body, resisting him was indecently imp
