How Treason Is Born

Her eyes were stuck at the scenes, despite her eyes that stung and the tears that streamed down. Her heart beat loudly as she stared at the broken smile of her beloved nanny, Hessy. A woman who was akin to her mother. A woman who was her only pillar. The only one who killed, lied, and betrayed for her without blinking. The only woman who cared for her. She tightened her fist on the rail, her whispering prayer yearning for the impossible. Hessy was on her knees, with her hands tied cruelly behind her back. Her body trembled in the insufferable cold but even her rugged appearance couldn't hide the benevolence she exuded for Princess Scarlet. The dagger was placed on her neck, but the woman didn't even flinch. She mouthed the words 'Live Well.' The Princess's breath hitched and the executioner raised his sword in the air to strike her neck- A hand covering her eyes pulled her back. "No... No! No... Stop it!" She struggled and sobbed wildly but then a menacing slash in the wind, f

The Object Of King's Obsession

The next time her eyes opened she felt every muscle in her body ache. She groaned trying to turn her body but everything was stiff that she couldn’t even get up. Her eyes fell on the closed window with curtains drawn. She was sure the windows were all open when she passed out from overexertion. Frowning, she moaned in an effort to rise from her place when eyes fell on the dark figure in the dim light of the lamp. Was he sick of his other mistress and decided to visit her out of pity?! “Get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.” Ambrose mumbled tearing a seal on a letter. Giving a glance at the miserable man, Laylin turned away from him. Right now even his shadow disgusted her. She had tried to persuade him several times before the incident but the man was unrelenting about the 'Witch Hunt'. He killed dozens just to state his pride... She blinked at the opposite wall when it registered in her head that she recognized the letter he was reading. Summoning every bit of her

The Hunt For Noble Ladies

She was outright dragged into the hall. As all the lowly peasants and slaves testified, it was a time for highborn women to take the burn. The men were already tested. In the end, the people who were discarded were either spies, suspicious, or just an eye sore to the King. She had heard that wretched woman Sayon's brother, was there at every point. Even now Sayon wasn't present, instead, her brother stood firm there sneering at every woman here. She wanted to shout and curse at the King for letting his bitch of a mistress slip through without testing. She realized then that maybe if she had been his 'ideal mistress' and lived as a corpse, she wouldn't need to be here like Sayon. It was disgusting, but Laylin was desperate to live. And when her temper subsided, she guessed as much. She was no better than a lowly slave, ready to bend her head as long as it saves it from being cut. Her eyes fell on Scarlet, who was glaring with puffy red-rimmed eyes at the floor in resentment. Beh

The Assassination Attempt On The King By His Mistress

She was roughly thrown on her knees with several swords pointed at her at the King’s feet. The Beasts really didn’t need these sharp tools to sever her head, but they were probably trying to make it as neat as possible. “This bitch!” Sayo advanced toward her huffing and puffing, with his hand raised in the air to strike her. Numb with fear, she scrunched her eyes ready to be struck. 'SLAP!' “Sire!” Sayo agitated cry forced her to open her eyes. The King was holding his arm and bending it at an unnatural angle. With a jerk, he threw him to the opposite wall, creating fear in the heart of those present. Laylin's heart thumped down in shock and fear. “Stay your hand. I have no time to entertain your childish antics.” His voice was a low rumble of warning that froze every living being present. A natural tyrant. Ambrose raised a hand, shooing his guards away back to their posts. Lazily, his eyes fell on her. "You always manage to put up a spectacle for our audience. The attention

"Die Quietly."

Seeing the situation take a drastic turn against her, Laylin's desperate eyes lowered to her husband who was looking at her with a turn of his lips, as if to say, ‘See?’ Her shivering body cowered down as tears welled up in her eyes. She decided to swallow her pride and spout something closer to the truth. Laying breaths came out in pants, her anxiety was getting to her head. The way she was persecuted, she felt convinced that there was no way out of it. She flailed about, feeling light-headed. “No. No, I didn’t and everyone already know that! Doing so, wouldn’t have ever played in my favor. If I had planned it, I would have known this much. It was instinctive with no killing intent. I was just scared of the witch hunt! I was afraid of the examination on my nanny and me! I freaked out and acted. I saw the executions yesterday and I…” She chewed her lips, staring at him with wet eyes, telling him to end this. The entire court waited for the King’s command while he assessed her with

The Affairs that Take Place in the Middle of the Night

“Die quietly. I will make it easy considering your pampered life.” A voice whispered in her ear from behind. Laylin winced quietly as the blade grazed her neck, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” The woman scoffed as if she found it ridiculous to even consider her a threat, “You sound cool for someone sweating buckets." The woman scoffed out a laugh. "Humor me, and why is that?” “It’s late at night.” Laylin whispered slowly, “Your breath reeks of alcohol…” The woman furrowed her brows, feeling the handle of the dagger heat up. “…You are probably not in your right mind... Soon you will imagine things.” Laylin slowly murmured, hypnotizing the assassin. "Ah!" The woman shrieked as her dagger suddenly got this scorching hot that she had to throw it away. Laylin turned around to look at the woman wearing black clothes. Her face was covered with a veil. Familiar looking rich copper hair bunched up together on her head in a bun. Copper hair?! “Who sent you?” With her feeble fingers

A Marionette For The Princess

Her morning was stale like nothing happened yesterday night when she had just walked out of the jaws of death several times. She gritted her teeth, patting her forehead in frustration. It was a miracle he had left early the next morning without being nosy or angry. The assassin was out in the open and could babble to anyone. All it would take is a grain of suspicion... Groaning in frustration, she flipped the tray. 'CLING! CLANK!' The cutlery went crashing down. Her maids flinched back. “Argh… Why?! Why!” Halo and Sami just stared at her fling things around for the sixth time. The Princess wasn't the abuser type but had been getting mad at things since morning. They had heard of the assassination attempt and how the King had forced her to relocate to his other suite. The Princess had been livid, screaming and crying. The whole night staff had witnessed it and now the whole palace was buzzing with it. She was like a ticking time bomb, getting angry one second, shouting, thro

Rejoiced Too Soon

Perhaps she can. Perhaps she can have several bad days in a row. She rejoiced too soon. She smiled at Sami and Halo and gave them a nod to open the doors. The room was dim with glass walls and exotic dried flowers from all around. For a while, she was in awe of the place. It felt like it was a place in Ehan. She admired the beauty with a good heart before her eyes searched for the Marquis. She knew it as soon as she took a glance at this ‘esteemed guest’, if it was her, she could perhaps have such a fate destined for her. Dark ebony hair and eyes that pierced one's soul. A cerulean blue she was all too familiar with. Suddenly there was a cacophony nearby as her eyes met hers, a shrill sound growing loudly by the second that only they heard. They both strode forward and looked to measure the other out, and the marquis could somehow stomach laughing jovially, at the sight of the servants rushing behind the Princess. “Long time, Princess?” She audaciously moved to grab her shou

"...Let Me Leave."

“So you are saying he keeps demons close to him and is a demon himself too?” She downed the tea in one gulp, before refilling it with cold tea from the pot. This time, she didn’t try to warm it with her aura, instead, she wished to cremate a body. Her Aunt’s, specifically. She was laying on her office sofa with her legs open shrewdly while the blueprint of the Palaces floated in the air above her. She read through it like this, swinging her stocking clad legs in the air. Laylin gritted her teeth, praying for patience. It was a relief that her office was so high up for someone to snoop around and servants were already reprimanded by her and sent on odd jobs. “Half demon, I suspect! He’s probably a half-demon and would you please behave like a respectable member of society!” Her aunt removed her reading glasses, rubbing her eyes as if kneading dough before pinching the bridge of her nose as she struggled to sit up in the dress. “What do you know of demons, Lassie? How much of t

"I’ll have to dispose of you, Princess”

Taking a tired sigh, he finally asked. “What would make you happy?” She was too miserable, he pitied her. She hadn't had a single day in peace since her arrival in Rakhbar. He hadn't seen her laugh or smile at him or anything. For several seconds she thought about what would free her from this hell or the pain she was in but when she came up with nothing, she asked for something she knew she needed. “...Let me leave.” It was a lifeless whisper, she said it despite the horrible pain that wrecked her apart at the thought of leaving him. Rakhbar will never be her home. It will always suffocate her and she will always have to hide here from the nobles, staff, and even his people. It frustrated her beyond measure. “I wish to leave this wretched place and I promise to leave all my resentments behind. I can’t stay here! I’ll go mad in this horrid place!” He turned his head away as if declining her without even considering. He behaved as if she had asked for too much. “You can’t ever le
