“That is a lie! She can see well, if she can't see, how can she stand there?!” exclaimed one of the nobles.Mila raised her eyebrows and 'looked' at the nobleman with a cold expression. “Oh, that incident happened less than a week ago and now, I have regained my sight a bit. You can call the healer who treated me,” Mila said nonchalantly.“Healer, who treated you?” asked one of the nobles. "Don't slander the elders!" he cried angrily.Mila furrowed her brow. "Why would I slander them?" she then looked at Liam who stood beside her. "Call the healer," she said firmly."Mila," Liam moved closer and whispered softly into the girl's ear, so only she could hear. "You can't do this. We didn't agree to this." The situation was out of hand now.Mila narrowed her eyes when she sensed how reluctant Liam seemed to confront the elders and hoped that Mila would keep lowkey this time. "I didn't agree to anything Liam, you are the one who concluded that I agreed to your silly request.""Mila, this wa
Elena really didn't understand what was going on and why Mila and Liam looked like they were up to something.Swiftly, Elena moved closer to Liam and said in a low tone to him. "You know what you are doing?" Elena hissed, she saw all pairs of eyes staring at Mila because now the future queen was walking straight to the healer named Ariel, who was assigned to take care of her before."You didn't give me another choice," Liam said in a calm tone, even though he wasn't really sure what kind of game Mila was playing at the moment, but there was no way he could turn his eyes away and oppose Mila in front of the crowd who were like hungry wolves that were struggling, waiting for an opening to tear Mila to pieces and bring her down.Liam would have plenty of time to ask Mila this, not now, but later he would find out what this unpredictable woman was really up to."Liam! I am not messing with my warnings!" Elena said through gritted teeth. She looked at Mila very sharply as the girl stopped
At first, Mila thought it would be very difficult to persuade Leam into doing what he should have done, but who would have thought that the king would just grant her request just like that.It wasn't that Mila wasn't happy that Liam was working with her so well, but from the way the man was looking at her, Mila could tell that he would demand an explanation for Mila's behavior once they were alone.It didn't matter to Mila, because she didn't think there was anything to hide, but she also felt very strange… where did this courage come from?When she sat on the throne, her anxiety and fear instantly faded and she felt that she could solve every problem that existed, as if everything seemed so easy and effortless.And no significant problems that Mila couldn't solve…Mila then looked up at the throne, which looked majestic, luxurious and full of power, while Ariel was preparing the materials needed for the test to find out who had touched the powder over the past two weeks.Yes, two wee
After that, Ariel splashed the water at Liam while muttering a spell that sounded like a song.Ariel repeated this two more times with her eyes closed and afterward she looked at Liam, and said. "How do you feel, Your Highness?" he asked.Liam did not expect that the procession would be so simple and said what he felt. "I feel nothing," he answered honestly.Ariel smiled. "Then there's nothing to worry about. You never came into contact with the powder."Then, after seeing that Liam was fine and that nothing had happened to him, the nobles seemed more relaxed and willing to be tested.It took less than half an hour for all the nobles to go through the procession, and none of them indicated that they had ever come into contact with the blinding powder.After all the nobles were done trying it, Ariel started with the elders.Elder Rang took the initiative to try it first, followed by the other five elders, leaving Elena as the last elder to be tested.During this fairly rapid process, E
"So what's with you?" Liam couldn't wait to ask the question as soon as they were alone and the madness in the main hall had passed.The two of them were now in the backyard with Andreas and a few bodyguards following behind them. But they maintained a decent distance to give their king and future queen some privacy, not allowing themselves to overhear their conversation."What is wrong with me?" Mila asked, her forehead furrowed. She looked at Liam confusedly at his incomplete question."You are different Mila, I felt you were a different person when you were in the hall earlier," Liam said, he slowed down and they both walked under the large tree that shaded above them, in the soft moonlight. "Did you plan all that long ago?""No, of course not. I couldn't have planned it all. I repeatedly refused you to attend the hall, remember?” Mila reminded Liam. "Who knows…"Mila pondered for a moment to feel the urge inside her, the strange urge that allowed her to stand on the throne and so
Mila did not know what possessed her and pushed her to go to the great hall, where the royal thrones were.A strong desire, which prompted Mila to get out of bed and walk down the corridors which seemed almost deserted, except for the guards who were standing at their posts. They seem confused to find Mila coming out of her room so early.They didn't stop Mila as she walked into the great hall, but the questioning looks in their eyes, of course, couldn't be ignored.It's just that Mila didn’t want to pay attention to any of that right now, because her focus was only on what she wanted.Mila wanted to be on the throne again, sit in the high chair and experience the emotional surge that made her feel capable of doing or solving any difficult problem.The feeling was like a very strong opium.Slowly, Mila entered the large, absolutely deserted hall and walked across the black marble floor, to the throne before her, which was embellished with gold and gemstones.Mila climbed three steps a
Mila couldn't understand why only she was able to see Cosmo. Was it because she was a descendant of the previous king? But, then Elena should be able to see this spiritual being too, right? But, why couldn't she see it? Isn't that strange and a little unreasonable? However, Mila was reminded once again that she was living in a world full of mysteries where almost anything could be said to be absurd… magic, dark magic and all that…Mila then stared at Cosmo a little longer, the girl looked pale, when she smiled back at her.It was very strange to see herself with black hair and smiling kindly like that, Mila never paid much attention to how she smiled. Therefore, she thought that was what she looked like when she looked friendly.Not bad…Then Mila turned her attention away from Cosmo, she didn't want Liam to suspect or find her strange, and moreover Mila couldn't explain this anyway.They walked through the dark alleys of this dungeon to the room where they held Elena. The air i
"Stop Elena," Liam finally spoke up. He looked at Elena coldly and warned the woman not to continue her sentence."No," said Mila. "Talk. Tell me what really happened in this palace.” Mila ignored Cosmo's protests asking her to kill Elena straight away and didn't need to listen to the woman's cheap explanation.“Mila, it is not something you need to understand. It is not about a curse,” Liam said, trying to keep his voice from sounding like he was trying desperately to hide the truth from Mila.Mila then turned around to face Liam, her arms folded across her chest and she stared at the man with demanding eyes."Then tell me what happened." Mila shrugged nonchalantly, then looked at Liam with defiant eyes. "Looks like you're hiding a lot of secrets from me.""It's not a secret. It's just a rumour." Liam clenched his jaw tightly as he said this.“Okay, then I want to hear what the rumors are,” Mila said calmly then added. “Because yes, I saw the creature. The creature's name is Cosmo an
