Erica opened her eyes as sunlight tickled her face, she found herself in her bed. She clearly remembered sitting by the fountain the night before. She looked around trying to figure out how se got there in her bed when she heard Jenny’s voice.“King Dominic carried you to bed last night,” She said as she tried to muffle her laughter, Clio standing beside her smiled as well.“He did what?” Erica asked out of pure shock, “You were sleeping by the Fountain of wishes last night, King Dominic goes for a walk by the fountain every night, when he saw you there he picked you up and carried you inside the palace.” Jenny explained, “He even tucked you in,” Clio added.Erica has started to blush by then, she coughed awkwardly, she was still wearing the cargo pants and crop top from last night.“Well, he shouldn’t have done that, at true gentleman knows better than to touch a lady who doesn’t wants to be touched,” Erica said as she got up and went in to the washroom to freshen up.She entered the
“Is it necessary for me to be there?” She asked him and he nodded slowly. “I would hate to keep you away from such beautiful night. The Luna Masquerade Ball is the most colorful, beautiful and most awaited event of the whole kingdoms, there will be immortals from every Kingdom and you will get to see them personally. I think you should try to enjoy as much time as you have here,” Dominic said and Erica looked at him with a glitter of hope in her eyes.“Yes, I think you are right,” She smiled at him for the first time and he chuckled at her response. “Did you dress like that in the mortal world as well?” Dominic asked her and she looked at him all confused, “Like what?” she asked and he shrugged, “Well, like you dressed that day, half naked,” That make Erica burst into a laughter, “O my goodness, no, I didn’t. I didn’t have the luxury to buy such clothes,” She said and it was Dominic’s turn to be confused.“Are you telling me? That covering just few parts of a body is luxury? And full
Erica and Dominic were sitting at the dining table and having their dinner. Erica was finished and was waiting for Dominic to finish up so she could go to her room, she started doing this more often now. She would wait for him to finish up, and they would leave the dining hall together. She was looking at him, his sophisticated way of eating the food despite his hairy and clawed hands, was so attractive. The way he knew how to handle every spoon, knife and fork present on the table was outstanding. Erica never paid attention to this much cutlery presented to her, she would simply use one spoon, and occasionally she would use knife and a fork. But Dominic ate in such a sophisticated manner, that Erica started thinking she should ask Jenny and Clip to teach her how to utilize every piece of cutlery on whilst sitting at the table and in eating. He really was from royalty.“We will start practicing on your ability to prevent others from listening to your mind after dinner,” He informed he
Erica followed Dominic to his study room through the same corridor. The chambers of the palace were dimly lit and Dominic who was now upset for some reason looked scary to Erica, she felt scared and a complete strangeness towards him. Dominic had towering figure with fiery red eyes and a mane of wild, dark hair rested on his head.They both entered a room that was the four time the size of Erica’s room. But as she entered the room and started walking inside, she figured it was almost as big as the hall. The library stood in quiet reverence, its shelves stretching toward the lofty ceiling. Rows upon rows of meticulously organized tomes bound in leather and adorned with faded gold lettering, line the walls. There was a giant map on one side of the hall, maybe it was elaborating all the magical Kingdoms.A soft, melodic whispering resonates throughout the room, as if the very books themselves hold stories yearning to be told. The air carries a hint of forgotten spells, a touch of ancient
Erica opened her eyes and smiled as she saw Dominic lying beside her, with his eyes closed; sleeping. She reached out and touched his face with her fingers, he immediately responded to her touch and leaned in to her hand more. She chuckled at his baby like behaviour and he opened his eyes, looked at her and smiled lazily. "Good morning my gazelle," he said lazily and she giggled. She enjoyed the nickname he had given her, he was very fond of Stag, Deers, Gazelles, Ibex, Reindeer and all similar animals. "Good morning my king," She replied and he kissed her forehead.He then looked around in the big room and sat up. Erica admired his well built body, his strong arms and his strong back muscles. He turned around to look at her and smirked mischievously, “Enjoying the view aren’t we?” he asked and she giggled and she was about to smack his naked back playfully but he reached out and grabbed a hold of her wrist. He then pulled her towards him and crashed his lips against hers. She giggl
Hi Prosopiko, today I went to hunt, alone. I did not told father because he wouldn’t have allowed it and I needed to get my minds off things because I was missing mom. I had to hunt a couple of sparrows which I think will be enough for dad and me. I cooked it into a soup with simple bread for dinner.Prosopiko was her magical diary and her only friend, she found it in her mother's closet and she had never told anyone about it. She heard her father coming in the house. It was just her and her father in the house all alone. It was a scorching summer this year, unlike any other summer, which meant that the winter was going to be equally harsh and unforgiving. Erica threw her diary under her pillow and went out of her room to greet her father. “Good evening father, how are you?” she asked him.“I am fine sweet heart, how are you? How was your day?” he asked her as he sat on the broken chair, and took off his shoes. “Oh the usual, nothing special,” Erica shrugged and her father nodded, “i
"What are you doing?" Peter asked Jessica and she closed the diary and put it under her pillow. "Oh, nothing just scribbling" she answered and smiled at her husband. He smiled back and sit beside her, he touched her swollen belly lovingly. "Just a little time left?" He asked her and she chuckled and nodded. "Yup, few days left till we meet our baby boy." she said and peter chuckled, "How are you so sure it's a boy?" he asked her and she shrugged. "I have a strong gut feeling, I wish its a boy," she said and Peter crumbled his face, "No, I want it to be a girl, another version of you," Peter said and Jessica forced a smile. "It'll be fine," he said to her and she shrugged, "No, you don't understand Peter, another version of me? Am I not burden enough for you?" she asked and Peter shook his head, "I love you, you can never be a burden on me," he said and Jessica shook her head in no. "What will you do when she turn twenty two?" she asked him and he shrugged, "I will protect her, I wi
Erica’s eyes skimmed through the pages trying to understand the words, but she could not read a single letter. She picked up her ink pen and wrote, ‘Prosopiko, I don’t understand a word. What are you trying to tell me?’ Erica waited for a few moments but she didn’t receive any answer, she sighed and put the diary in her bag and went out for breaking her fast. Peter and Erica sat on the table and ate the corn cereal that her father had made. She then got up, picked up her bow, stuffed her arrows in the bag.“Okay, father. I will see you in the evening,” she kissed her father’s forehead, “Will you be hunting today?” he asked her and she shrugged, “May be,” she replied and he chuckled and nodded, She then went out of the house and went to the fields to take her horse riding lessons. After walking for what felt like forever, she reached the lessons field, after attending her riding lessons. She decided to go for a hunt to freshen her mind and all the time she couldn’t stop thinking about
