Pain rippled in Judith’s wrists and she swayed. She used her magic to treat her pain. And with all the borrowed magic inside her, she had to use a lot of it to ease it. She felt a little comforted and knew that if she used anymore of her magic, she would be needing another dose of Nimbh quicker than she usually required. While she was using her magic, she couldn’t believe what Brishor just said. “What do you mean that she owes you a debt?” She gave Meryl a withering stare. “What has this girl been up to?” She wanted to accuse Meryl of slutting but she stopped herself because Lord Alex was standing there. However, Lord Alex also got curious and he frowned. “I would also like to know what she owes you?”  Rage was climbing up his chest and mind. Brishor wanted to kill Lord Alex once and for all. But he was trying to judge the whole situation. He looked at M

There was a shine in her eyes as Viola looked at Chezzal. She fluttered her eyelashes and then touched her neck delicately, seductively. Chezzal raised his eyebrow at what she was doing and then scoffed. He turned his attention back to Meryl who was staring at Viola.  When she didn’t budge from her place, Viola frowned at her and said, “Didn’t you listen to what I just said? Mother and Lord Alex are waiting for you in the main hall.”  Before Meryl could take a step forward to leave, Brishor growled, “From now on every conversation that will take place with Meryl has to be in my presence. So, Meryl will not go anywhere. If anyone wants to talk to her, it better be when I am around.” Viola was stunned into silence. Suddenly this man was showing so much dominance over Meryl, but she knew that it was becaus

Brishor walked with Meryl, his prized possession to the guest room where she was leading him. All the while his eyes were on her. He was burning with the need to be with her for she was still unclaimed. He knew that Chezzal was burning with the same need. Even though they had their little ‘reunion’ in the parlor, it was not enough. He just wanted to gather her in his arms and savor her, devour her for his whole life.  Patsy was walking with Meryl and he wanted to pluck her away from her, feeling jealous that this maid behaved so possessively towards her. He wondered if he would have to take Patsy with them to Galdere when they left Windley with Meryl. Brishor could have easily bought the castle and removed Alex in one fine move for Meryl, but there was something he didn’t like about the place. He could smell magic. It was not strong, but it wasn’t weak e

Panic struck Judith when she saw miasma rolling towards Viola. Judith tried her best to control it and then absorb it back inside her body. When it rolled back inside her, she breathed a sigh of relief, but by that time, Viola was already feeling dazed. She looked at her soup and finished it entirely. Judith snapped her gaze to look at Meryl and saw that her soup was untouched. Angered as hell, she shot her magic towards her once again. This time it shot with such serpentine speed that Brishor was unable to hold it, but once again everyone else in the room was dazed. They became quiet with their eyes glossy. In order to take revenge, Judith commanded Meryl, “Get up and slap Chezzal.” She wanted her to sow seeds of hatred in Chezzal for Meryl, so that he started comparing her with Viola and see how refined she was. Chezzal was shocked. Hi

“I need more Niambh,” said Judith with desperation in her voice. She had asked her carriage man to race it to Valerie’s estate, where first she had gone to meet a jeweler to exchange all her jewelry. The jeweler gave her a hundred and ten gold coins for it. After that she had come to Valerie’s castle. Valerie had just entered the parlor where she had received Judith. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Judith. She had given her Niambh just a week back and the effects of it lasted more than a week in her experience with every customer she dealt with. “You look like you’ve eaten horse shit!” said Valerie as she settled on the sofa opposite to Judith and crossed her legs. “What’s wrong?” Judith rolled her eyes. She hadn’t eaten but she had definitely smelt it and a lot of it. “The
