WHEN I OPENED THE WARDROBE I FOUND MYSELF DUMBFOUNDED AGAIN. I have never had so many clothes, even when I lived with my parents in the Albtraum Kingdom. I took a thin black tank top, high-waisted navy blue shorts made of what I believe to be silk and then I put on a thin black heel. Thank gods, I have not forgotten how to walk in them.
I went to the front of the mirror and made two thin braids on the front sides of my hair, and joined them with a thin band on the back of my head, leaving the long curls loose on my shoulders and back. I passed the sweet perfume that was on the dressing table and used the lip balm that was also there.
When I was going to open the door, someone opened it in the same second and I fall to the ground. "What the-"
"I'm sorry!" I recognize the voice as being Maelli's one. She offers me her hand and took it. "Are you okay?"
"Damn it, you're more strong than you look like. But yeah, I'm fine. What about you?"
"Same. I was c
HE LOOKED AT ME WITH THOSE RIDICULOUSLY BEAUTIFUL PINK-ISH EYES that I used to love. "I am sorry, I truly am, but you'll do it," he's sorry my ass."How you're only thinking of yourself?" I growled at him again."What?" he said with his snakish smile, the one I hate the most."How you justify, telling all those lies like a fucking second nature?""Are you still mad about that, darling?" I growled when I heard him call me that way."One day, I swear to the gods, that one day, you will pay for this! Karma is gonna come to collect your debt. None of this will come out unscathed, you bastard.""Maybe, maybe not. But both of us know this isn't going to happen in this era, right, darling?" how could I be so blind?"I don't fucking care about how much time it takes, but I'll make it happen.""That's another thing both of us know is impossible. You'll never be able to hurt or even less kill me, darling. Don't make a fool of yourself wi
I WAS HUNTING A DEER IN THE FORESTwhen the royal knights came and killed my ill mother just because she was a witch. When I came back to my home, mommy was on the ground with a lake of blood around her. How did I know that was them, once I wasn't there? The bastards left their dagger made of gold in my mother's heart. Almost to say "we did this, now thank me for killing this witch, you peasant", as they did with my father when I was 8. I still have nightmares about that shit. When dad died by their hands, we moved on to another village, but they came to finish their jobs by killing my mom. Of course, they didn't know that my parents had me, so I am safe. And well, when my mother was killed, I moved on, but this time I left the Albtraum Kingdom and I'd come to the Dusk Kingdom. I live in a little house in the heart of the forest, far from civilization. I have four types of wraths, something that it'
I WAS HUNTING SOME SNAKES TO MAKE A STEW with the vegetables I found, on the west side of the forest near the lake when I sense a dangerous smell.Sweet but addictive, mixed with a bit of sweat and a touch of that metallic smell of blood.Away too dangerous.At the same moment, I sense a presence nearby.A fae male.I run away, trying to reach the treehouse the faster I could.I just pick two snakes, but it'll hold well until tomorrow dusk.I'm a nocturnal person, cuz the moon it's my favorite thing in the world and I don't work well in sunlight.But this isn't a big difference living here, once the faes are nocturnal people. I'm liking or not, this is their territory, they know this better than me.Even if just a little bit better.Now I think I'm safe.That bastard won't reach here.I climb the tree in a faster way, then I locked the door with something I've made three years ago and I'd put the dea
"HE SIMPLY HATES WITCHES. WE HAVE THIS IS COMMON, but I also hate him, nobles, royals, and also the Fae."He smiled again."That's funny. We personally like witches. They are incredibly powerful and smart. Well, the Dawn Kingdom on the other hand hates them."I'm thankful because he didn't say it was my race, now that he noticed that I don't like them at all.Not that I would show it, of course.I took a deep breath, feeling calmer than before, and turn down Nacht."Now that you're calm, could tell why you came here since you thought the fae's here hated witches?"Good question.I felt the smell of my stew and run into the treehouse to erase the fire with my hand, so the smoke would not spread.Right in the time.When I was going down again, I found the fae male in my door, smelling my stew."Do you wanna?"I offered it, now that he's seen it."Is this poisoned?"He asked carefully, whi
"DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT HE IS THE MOST PERFECT PERSONon the whole continent, and I'm not the only one who thinks this. He's powerful as fuck, incredibly beautiful, he loves his people with all his heart, he's kind with who deserves his kindness, but he's dangerous as hell to the ones that messed up with his people and with his family."Is he... in love with the king?"And he also loves being a king, ruling his people, he dreamed of a beautiful civilization where this shit you mentioned wouldn't happen, and well, isn't 100% complete yet, but it's on the right road."He spoke seriously and convinced, without fear of showing how deeply he trusts his king.Not only deeply trust this king, he clearly is in love with him."You must know him well.""Oh..."He laughed."I know that bastard more than anyone."Maybe he's his boyfriend or something like that."He looks incredible, but honestly, it's almost impossible
KAI JUST LET ME ENJOY THE VIEW FOR A FEW INSTANTS before opening another portal that took us directly to the castle.Well, he called a castle, but I would call a big wooded house with seven floors.It's strangely comfortable, but the most strange thing is that I feel like I was at home.I felt strangely safe.Not that I would ever say it out loud or demonstrate it in my face."So, this is the private residence."He told me."There is more than four similar at this one in the Kingdom.""It's comfortable, I wouldn't call it a castle."He smiled."Well, the King called this place The Castle. He likes comfortable things. And this place he loves with all his heart. There's a subfloor but it is a training place, and I mean the whole floor.""That's so cool."I said looking amused by the place."So where's your perfect King, anyway?""I was with you, do you think I know where that bastard is?"
"WHAT THE FUCK, SAMANTHA? SHIT- CAN'T YOU KEEP A SECRET?"He yelled at her."What do you mean? What the- Gods... I called you the King's whore. I even thought you were his boyfriend by the way you talked about him. Why the hell didn't you told me you were a fucking royal, you narcissist, arrogant bastard?"I yelled at him, without even thinking."Calm down, little witch. Let me explain.""Then explain-"I yelled."First of all, if I had told you, you wouldn't come here. Second of all, you would probably try to kill me with your katana because I'm a royal. Third of all, you hate royals, nobles, witches, and faes. Four of all, I need you, so I had to do this cuz if you knew it, you wouldn't come with me. Five of all, again, you would try to kill me."He said in the defensive."You stupid asshole. I hate lies-"Even when I'm the one who's always telling lies.I'm such a hypocrite."You hate almost every
I SAT ON THE COUCH ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROOM, a little uncomfortable with their intense looks on me. Samatha apologized for the rude thing before and offered me a bourbon, which I accepted. Being the first time I had an alcoholic drink, the burning in my throat bothered me a little at first."So it is the first time you have a drink like this, mhm-" she observed with a smile. She can be nice, but I don't know if I can forget how dangerous she looked before I left that way."Yeah. I don't know if your King here said, but I'm from the Albtraum Kingdom, I moved to the forest when I was 16. And I lived there on my own, far from anyone for 32 years," all of them looked surprised. "So I was unable to make or taste any of the pleasures of life, like alcohol.""You're just forty-eight years?" asked Kai, clearly shocked."That's what I said, isn't it?" I replied with my arched eyebrows, he looks at me with his intense gaze and I rolled my eyes."I th
