Kaelith,

The air shifted around me as I walked into the meeting room, finding that bastard sitting on the couch as if he owned the place.

His legs were on the edge of the table, looking smug. When he noticed me, he hurriedly moved them away and stood up,

"Here is the King of this territory!" He smirked as he walked toward me. "I have been waiting for you, Your Majesty. Your people are so stupid that I couldn't help but feel so bored and—!"

His words died in his mouth the moment my hand

  • The Crown And The Blade: The Abandoned Luna's Little Secret    Weaknesses

    Eirlys Lumi,4 AM, The Blue Phoenix,"You have been coming less and less, My Lady. Did something happen?" The bartender, Alex Harris, placed my regular in front of me as he asked the question, his tone casual but his eyes observant as ever.The glass clinked softly against the counter, crystal and heavy-bottomed. A slow swirl of amber caught the dim blue lights overhead, bending them into fractured reflections. Whiskey.A single large ice cube rested in the center, already cracking faintly from the sudden change in temperature. The scent reached me before the taste ever could, oak, smoke, and something bitter that lingered at the back of the throat like an unspoken warning.I grabbed a cigarette and lit it, the flame briefly illuminating my face before fading into the low haze of the bar. "Been busy lately."The Blue Phoenix hadn’t changed. It never did. Dark corners, low music humming like a distant pulse, people who spoke in half-truths and left before sunrise. A place where names d

  • The Crown And The Blade: The Abandoned Luna's Little Secret    A party at midnight

    Eirlys Lumi,Next night,The crimson moon lingered in the sky like a silent witness, its dim, blood-tinged glow stretching across the stone walls of the Royal Packhouse.At this hour, the world was quiet as it should be. Except for some occasional dogs barking, and distant howls that stood as witnesses to such a lovely night.I moved through the hallway, my steps quiet and balanced. The night guards stood still, unable to notice the only person moving through their blind spots.Throughout the day, I had done nothing but stay outside his room, guarding and poison-testing his meals. The servant who betrayed him had been taken into custody for interrogation.I had expected to meet Suzanne, but unfortunately, she didn’t come to meet His Majesty. Tsk.Right now, I was heading to fulfill the favor for Edward.Just as I climbed the walls and jumped onto the ground, a car stopped. It was George, waiting for me since I forwarded the message from Edward.Whenever Edward asked for a favor, I wou

  • The Crown And The Blade: The Abandoned Luna's Little Secret    A bothering question

    Kaelith, I said nothing. I simply watched her. And that silence broke her far more than any words could. "It’s enough, Suzanne," Valerian stepped in, his voice sharp. "We have already learned that the Luna has been replaced, and the woman who signed the marriage certificate has not been here. Where is she?" "What?" she snapped, her composure cracking, eyes widening. "I… I don’t know. I did send my servants. They didn’t come here. Also… I think she ran away too. No girl wants to be Luna. Then why would they—" "Do you have any pictures of her?" I asked, cutting through her words. "Why would you need an Omega’s picture?" "Omega?" Valerian’s voice sharpened instantly. "We never said that the replacement Luna Queen is an Omega, Suzanne." A heavy, suffocating silence fell over the room. She looked tensed, her fingers shook. Her jaw clenched, her face turning bright red as realization dawned, too late. "So you knew there was a replacement, and you did not intend to info

  • The Crown And The Blade: The Abandoned Luna's Little Secret    Interrogating Suzanne

    Kaelith, "My Lord! You summoned me?" Suzanne's voice came like a melody as she walked into the chamber, soft and deliberately lilting, as if each note was meant to curl around the senses. She adorned herself in a thin georgette blue dress, the fabric clinging and falling in all the right places, revealing far more than it concealed. The faint rustle of it followed her every step, drawing attention like a whispered invitation. A seductive grin played on her lips as she closed the door behind her, the click echoing faintly in the vast chamber. She was completely oblivious to Valerian's presence, or perhaps she simply chose to ignore it, confident in her place here. "Which dinner would you like to have? Me or..." She paused mid-sentence. Her grin vanished, replaced by a puzzled, awkward smile the moment her gaze landed on Valerian standing behind me, his expression tight, shoulders drawn rigid as if bracing against something unseen. I leaned deeper into the chair, my elbow resting la

  • The Crown And The Blade: The Abandoned Luna's Little Secret    A favor

    Eirlys Lumi,The servant walked me toward the room at the end of the hallway, five rooms away from the Royal King’s chambers. The corridor stretched long and silent, each step echoing faintly against the polished floor, making the distance feel even more deliberate.Around forty-nine and a half seconds of walking, five seconds of running, and one and a half minutes of limping if, by any chance, I got hurt in my legs to reach his room from mine. I stood in front of the room and then turned toward the door. My wolf would take two seconds to reach, but I would do anything but let my wolf out in public.In my twenty years of life, I had never let anyone see my wolf. Moon, who was the next-door type of introvert, loved to go wild when there was no one around, restless and untamed in her own quiet way.So, in an emergency, I needed to rely on my feet.“This is your room. The meal will be served here. If you need anything, let me know!” Her words were cold, laced with a hint of hostility th

  • The Crown And The Blade: The Abandoned Luna's Little Secret    The information about his saviour

    Kaelith,“You have thirty seconds,” I said, my voice carrying effortlessly across the training grounds, low and controlled, yet laced with an authority that pressed down on every soldier present, “to press your dagger to each other’s throat. Whoever will be first… wins.”I leaned back slightly against the high table, my fingers resting lazily against the carved edge, though there was nothing careless about my posture. Even in stillness, my presence loomed, heavy, suffocating, like a predator at rest that did not need to move to remind others of what it was capable of. My gaze remained sharp, cutting across the field with quiet scrutiny. Around me, the soldiers stirred, their anticipation rippling through the air like a rising storm.“Thirty seconds?” someone muttered from the crowd. “Is that even possible?”“What’s going on? Why would His Majesty accept an Omega as his bodyguard from the beginning?” another voice questioned, quieter, but no less daring. “I thought Omegas aren’t allow

    Eirlys Lumi,Moon lifted her head and released a powerful howl that tore through the silent forest. The sound echoed across the trees, rolling deep into the darkness and bouncing from trunk to trunk. Birds that had been resting in the branches burst into the air in frightened flutters, while small

    As the night stretched on, the meeting for the final preparations finally came to an end. George handed me some baked goods from his wife's bakery to snack on later. I opened the door of my sports car, the metal handle chilled from the sudden drop in temperature. " The wind is weird today!" I whi

    Eirlys Lumi,The silence was so thick that it could be cut by a knife. I froze there, unable to say anything, my fingers slowly curling against my palm whilst George looked like he had seen a ghost. His eyes were slightly widened, his lips parted as if he wanted to speak but couldn't quite find the

    Eirlys Lumi," We can't send her without knowing how safe it is." My mother's voice broke the daze I was in. " You understand, right? We can't send your sister like this without knowing what happens to the Luna!"So, not only did they believe that His Majesty was dangerous, but they also wanted me
