“I…didn’t expect you to see you both here!” Rima said while moving her eyes from Eren to the black-haired girl who, for some reason, came with him, carried by him to be exact, and landed on the terrasse of her castle, meeting the shadows lord’s eyes, she figured he wasn’t very pleased with her words as they sounded unwelcoming towards his girl.“I am glad that you are here though, for my empire can really use your wits, welcome to the frozen edge, Dahlia.” Rima’s kindness was met with the expressionless face of the girl who merely nodded, and she wondered if she was always this way or was it the traumatizing experience that she had that made her so, and that name, Dahlia, it wasn’t even hers, it was all too strange, and her being in the frozen empire with a frozen face was even stranger, nevertheless, the girl was there already, and it wasn’t her presence that mattered the most, it was that of the shadows&rsqu

As his brothers unloaded the carriage, Nicholas stared with a solemn face at the ruins of what used to be his home, his true home, where he found not just himself but a purpose for his life, a reason to live for, a family that understood and cared for him, and a lover he was willing to die for, the place was where his heart lived, until his blood brother destroyed it, the brother he wanted nothing more than to burn alive and watch as he screams in agony, the same way he burned the holy tower.Nicholas swallowed the heavy lump in his throat as he passed the charred remains, it has been two years since the night of the raiding and two years since he came back to this place, there was nothing left to come back for except for the burned stones, crumbled walls, pain, and memories, a lot of them, and they all rushed back to him at once, swallowing him back into that swamp of bitterness while his brothers, his real brothers, the ones he chose, were busy emptying the bloodied sacks o

“What are you talking about?” the guard who was reporting to Sara asked in both confusion and horror, unable to believe what the demoness just said and her intentions of taking their princess with them and have her killed, at first, he thought he heard wrong, but the intense way the demoness was glaring at them, as if she couldn’t wait to unleash hell upon their heads, made him realize that she meant every single word.“And does your Lord know that the princess, who is his friend’s sister, is among the ones you are bringing?” Sara on the other hand asked calmly, her eyes seeing the insides of the demoness who was preparing herself for battle, which meant that things were far too serious than she thought, to the point where they couldn’t be solved peacefully.“And do you think our Lord cares about her identity when she is a suspect?” Andrea gave the black-haired girl a vicious smile, it was fun toying with her, throw

It was all…surreal! And yet so bittersweet… Eren looked down at the girl sleeping on his chest, her beautiful face marred with the scars that told volumes about the amount of pain and agony this frail looking girl suffered, her face, tired with dark circles around her eyes, yet at the same time so relaxed and peaceful, it was a sight he didn’t see in so long, two years to be exact, when she was sleeping peacefully on this same particular bed in that same estate, the irony! Another thing that he found ironic was that even with all the years, all the tragedies, all the changes, Sara’s biggest concern was and still the acceptance of her family, her breaking was enough to prove it, and it made him think that she didn’t change that much after all, that the darkness she covered herself with didn’t reach to that pure soul of hers, and that for years, her heart was covered with a layer of ice, but it was never frozen.Ho

Sara opened her eyes slowly and stared with confusion at the place she was in, wondering how did she get there, she was almost certain that she blacked out in her room after looking at the mirror, the child God wasn’t there, but something else was, she felt as if the floor suddenly disappeared from under her feet, and then everything went black, only for her to wake up in the forest.Not just any forest, Sara thought as she stood up, checking herself for the silver locks she saw in her previous dream, which were missing, her hands were dirty and smelled like grass and dew, her hair was short and black, and her scars were prominent as always, the air was humid and cold, the sounds were clear.It was not a dream, and yet, something was off about it, and not just the unknown way she ended up in the forest, recognizing the few darker trees and even the distant sound of the river, it was the edge of the dark forest, the border between the human kingdom and the shadows
