Aries’s POV

I had been pacing back and forth across my room for what felt like forever. My hands were clasped behind my back, and every few seconds, I stopped to stare at the floor before resuming my restless movements.

I couldn’t get the image of Ashley out of my head. That girl was getting everything I had worked so hard to achieve. First, Xavier’s attention, and now, the position of the kingdom’s chief scholar. What exactly was happening?

A soft creak from the door interrupted my thoughts. I

    Ashley’s POV“Yeah. Like we used to.” Xavier said it with such a casual smile that I almost forgot I wasn’t actually the original Ashley.“Oh!” I hesitated before walking towards the bed. Once I climbed onto it, I sank into the mattress.My eyes widened slightly. Goodness! This bed was incredibly soft and cool. It was nothing like the hard mattress I’d been accustomed to in Brooklyn.I shifted comfortably, enjoying the feeling. However, before I could settle properly, Xavier suddenly slipped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer.“Oh!”My body stiffened momentarily as my back pressed against his chest.He chuckled softly. “What? Are you uncomfortable?”His voice was barely above a whisper, his breath brushing against my ear.I turned my head slightly. “No. I’m just curious.”“Curious about what?”I hesitated, wondering how to phrase my question without making things awkward. “What other things have we done in this room?”His arm remained around my waist. For a moment, he was qui

  • Transmigrated seven days before the Apocalypse    Chapter 30: A night with Xavier

    Ashley’s POVI had already changed into one of the dresses Xavier had provided when I wandered towards the window. From that height, I could see a considerable portion of the kingdom. However, the darkness had swallowed almost everything outside. The streets were deserted, and not a single soul was in sight.I rested my fingers against the window frame, watching the eerie surroundings. Just then, a faint cracking sound caught my attention. My eyes narrowed.Something was moving behind one of the bushes. I leaned closer, trying to get a better view. A moment later, an infected creature crawled out from behind the bush. Its movements were sluggish and uncoordinated as it staggered across the grounds.My gaze followed it. It was quite a distance from the window, and considering how high the room was, hitting my target wouldn’t be easy.Then, an unpleasant memory flashed through my mind. Earlier today, I had missed my shot at an infected man. That single mistake had almost cost me my life

What exactly was happening?A soft creak from the door interrupted my thoughts. I turned just as Elara pushed it open and stepped inside, carrying a tray of food. She glanced at me before carefully placing it on the table.“Your… your parents were asking if you would be joining them at the table,” she said, hesitating slightly.I folded my arms. “And what did you tell them?”“That you had decided to turn in early.”I let out a tired breath before sinking into the nearest chair. My head fell against the backrest as I stared at the ceiling. “How did things get this bad?”Elara

    Ashley’s POVXavier turned towards the door. I watched as he slipped the key into the lock and turned it. The door creaked open, revealing Aries and Elara standing outside.Aries was the first to peek into the room. The moment her eyes landed on me, her eyebrows shot up. She looked at me, then at Xavier, before folding her arms across her chest.“What? Is this the quarantine room, Xavier? Do you even understand the meaning of quarantine?” she asked, her gaze shifting between us.Xavier let out an irritated sigh. “What do you want, Aries?”“Xavier, what exactly are you doing?” She stepped closer, her expression hardening. “The kingdom is facing a serious crisis, and you’re here playing friendship with her. Do you think your father will approve of this?”Xavier’s jaw tightened. “What’s your problem, Aries? Is that why you came here?” He folded his arms. “You expect me to leave her in that isolation room for something I did? I don’t see anything wrong with keeping her in my room for the

    Ashley’s POV“Ashley, don’t tell me…”Xavier immediately stepped forward, cutting Aries off before she could finish her sentence. “I did it. It was an accident,” he said firmly, positioning himself slightly in front of me.“What accident? I hope you’re not trying to cover up for her?” Aries asked, her eyes narrowing suspiciously.“I said I did it, Aries!” Xavier snapped. “We were wrestling with an infected, and while I was holding her, I accidentally scratched her. That’s all.”Aries stared at him for a moment, seemingly unconvinced. “Xavier, you’re forgetting something.”He frowned. “What?”“I’ve fought alongside you since we were young. We’ve trained together countless times, and you’ve never accidentally hurt me. Not once. Do you know why? Because you’re always careful, even when we’re fighting.”“That’s different,” he countered, running a hand through his hair. “We were practicing. Out there, it’s a matter of life and death. Things happen, Aries. I was trying to keep an infected a

    Ashley’s POVXavier noticed it too. His expression hardened as he unsheathed his sword and charged towards the infected. He swung his sword, aiming straight for its heart. He lunged his sword at it, barely it’s heart, but the creature didn’t even flinch. It didn’t turn to look at him or acknowledge his presence. Instead, it continued running towards me, its movements growing more frantic with every step. It was as though I was the only thing it could see.“Protect her!” Xavier screamed.Before he could attack again, the infected struck him with such force that he went crashing to the ground. “Your Highness!” one of the men shouted.Several soldiers immediately rushed forward. Some shot arrows while others charged at the creature with their swords. It fought with an almost frightening determination, dodging their attacks and throwing anyone who came close to it aside. Its eyes remained fixed on me, and nothing, not even the swords piercing its body, seemed capable of distracting it.
