“Where is Nara?!” Henry looked at his angry brother with an expressionless face, hiding his pain and sorrow to see another member of his family locked and chained in the same cell as the previous one.
First was his father, and now it was his younger and only brother, and Henry wondered how many family members he was going to lose, how many did he have to hurt and possibly kill just for the sake of the damn throne!
“Elsewhere, I am afraid, and I have thought you can ask me what ever you were going to ask her. after all, there is absolutely nothing she can do to you that I can’t, and nothing she can do that I don’t approve!”
“You fucking bastard! What did you do to her? did you lock her up as well? Or maybe you shipped her off to marry somewhere far so she can’t meddle with your affaires!” Nicholas spat in disgust, his eyes shooting daggers at his older brother!
“Maybe!” Henry answered noncha
“It is so good to see you again!” Henry took big strides towards her, the woman who was in the center of his thoughts since the first time he met her!“Me too.” Rima smiled back at him while taking the seat he just offered her, and there was that awkward silence where they both stared at each other, not knowing what to say!It was still somehow weird, being in each other’s presence, even though they had been working together for a while now, trying to bring both worlds together, and create an alliance between the humans and the demons. Still, that feeling of nervousness was always there, telling each of them that he was being affected by the other.“How did you get in here?!” Henry tried to compensate for the bluntness of his question with his softest voice and even softer smile, not wanting the ice queen to take the wrong idea for he wasn’t at all bothered by her presence, just surprised to see her, in his r
“Lost in the woods, Lord Micka?” hearing the familiar voice, the corner of the fire lord’s lips was pulled up into an evil smirk.Scanning the sight with his red eyes, the fire lord didn’t see anything except the intertwined branches and trees, the dark forest was nothing like his empire, he missed the smell of fire and smoke, for the scent of the dirt and moss was making him nauseous, not that he could do anything about it. Yet!Micka knew that the shadows lord had his doubts about him, he knew that he was watching him since the very first second he stepped into this swamp he called an empire, he knew that the hybrid scum probably had most of his plan figured out, the true question though was, how did he manage to find him so fast, even before that useless demoness who was way too late!The other question was, what is the best and most fitting way to kill this scum who dared to call himself a lord, Micka thought as he looked around him,
Geraldine stared at her surroundings with skeptical eyes, trying to pinpoint the source of the animosity she suddenly felt, it was all around her, like an ominous presence that invaded the place, one which she could only feel but not see.There was definitely something going on, she thought to herself as she bent down to touch the dewy ground of the forest, trying to detect what was different and a malicious suffocating weight slowly settled on her chest.The dark forest was more than just an exile for the shadow demons, for they had not only made a home out of it, but also formed a tie with it, the forest was their strength and every single shadow demon had a connection with it, and it was through that connection that the shadow demons possessed the ability to reach out to one another, and to the forest.And the forest was suffering, Geraldine stood up as worry crept into her mind, she sniffed the air, hoping her nose would be more useful than her eyes, focusin
Recommended music for chapter: WHEN THE LAST HOPE RUNS OUT BY Epic Music VNEren stared at the black-haired demoness, crouching on the ground like a frightened kitten, gasping and shivering, her cheeks flushed, her lips agape and trembling, and her wide teary eyes looking up at him without blinking.He partially understood her shock, he knew that the way he looked in that moment wasn’t the best sight for the eyes, the battle didn’t just leave him drained but beaten up to his pulp, wounds and burns covered most of his body but the most sever ones were on his right arm.If it wasn’t for the thick blood running in his veins, he would have been long dead, if not by the fire lord’s hands then by the excruciating pain he was feeling, his right arm was shivering uncontrollably, he knew it was going to take a lot of time to heal, and that he might never be able to use it the same way again, it was a necessary sacrifice though, and the outcome was
Recommended Music For Chapter: Cold by Jorge MendezEren kept on hugging the lifeless body of the demoness he once cared for dearly even when he knew she was already dead, alas, he didn’t let go until he heard the sound of her ribs cracking.Killing those who betrayed him was always a pleasure, this time however was the exception, for even when he didn’t love her, Eren was always reassured with Geraldine around him, she was always there for him, and the thought of her betraying him and now leaving for good filled him with utter bitterness.Her presence didn’t have the same effect as Sara’s, but it was always there, like a reassuring figure in the background, he knew it wasn’t fair to think of her that way, but what was fair in this life they had?Nothing was, this was the kind of world they lived in, one where they were always subjected to pain and loneliness as long as they live.Placing her body under a t
Despite barely having the strength to walk, Eren kept on running, not stopping, not looking back, just running away from the borders, away from her.The sight of her blaming eyes was forever engraved in his memory, the amount of pain and betrayal they carried only made him run faster, telling himself he was a curse, that she would indeed be better off without him.Will she? His steps came to a sudden halt, a terrible fear settling in his heart with that thought, the fear of something happening to her while he wasn’t around to protect her!Taking a step back, Eren contemplated the idea of running back to her, to har scent, to her face, to her lips and their divine taste, but the memory of her blaming eyes stopped him again.Her eyes were lethal indeed, but there was something else, the great war! He was going to war and couldn’t take her with him, the shadows’ empire wasn’t safe for her and he didn’t have anyone that he truste
“This is going to be harder than I thought!” Rima knitted her eyebrows while looking out the window of what used to be the Tahat magistrate’s house.As expected, the familiarity she built with the human king wasn’t contagious, the united armies were only united in name, whereas in reality, the humans and demons did anything but blend, the schism in their lines was far too obvious to be neglected, none of them tolerated the other’s presence, the animosity was palpable in the air, and there were many, many skirmishes, some even turned violent.“It is perfectly understandable!”“We will make it work!”Eren and Henry said in the same time before exchanging a small glare, making the ice queen mentally slap her face, for even these two couldn’t fully tolerate each other, but unlike their soldiers, the human king and the shadows lord’s enmity wasn’t just because of their different kinds, it
Summoning her magical ice swords, Rima swung them at the small monsters that charged at her, not having a second to waste as the creatures jumped from under the water with their maws agape, their sharp teeth bare and threatening, ready to tear up any and everything that fell between their jaws.Standing at the front of the boat wither icy blades, Rima moves them in agile but strong and precise swings, decapitating one creature after the other, trying to take as many as she could herself for she knew the others were not even half her strength, it was up to her to protect everyone in her group, but the task was not an easy one for there were thousands of the creatures attacking from each sideTheir numbers and ferocity wasn’t the only thing she had to worry about, Rima thought with worried while kicking the remains of the creatures out of the boat to getting rid of the excessive weight, there was also the fact that the creatures didn&rsq
