"How are you sure it was the people of Kazeera that sneaked into the castle and killed the king. And why would you even blame them? Not like they have anything against our kingdom." One man who was a Marque stood up to say. "And your majesty, don't you think it is wrong to sit on the king's throne when he just died?""I know it was them as they would want to avenge their king that is held hostage by us." Evelyn replied the marque in anger. "And the ruler of the kingdom just died. The kingdom would not be left without a head. I choose to step in.""The king of Kazeera is held hostage? For what reason?" Another person spoke up, seemingly not pleased with the information. "And your majesty, that is not how a new ruler is chosen.""How do you think Durville grew to be so prosperous? We is in our nature to take things and make them ours." Evelyn explained. "And you don't tell me what to do. I choose to be the new ruler. You all should be appreciating me. One more word of protest, you shall

"Where is the queen?" Luciana asked the prince after they were done playing around. She had gotten down from the table and taken the seat opposite the one he sat on with the table between them. She thought she needed the distance. The feel of his lips on her skin still lingered on, and it was messing with her mind."She is having the time of her life with rats and other rodents and insects." Raziel gave a nonchalant response."What do you mean?" Luciana asked with a frown."I mean she is locked up in the dungeon." "Why?""For killing the king." He responded in the same casual tone."But she didn't do it. What is going to happen to her?" Luciana asked, looking a little worried."Uhm... the usual. She's going to be tried in the town's council. If she is found guilty, she would be executed."Luciana looked displeased. As much as she didn't like Evelyn, she would not like to see her die for a sin she did not commit. She had always hated the unfairness in the world. "Who accused her in th

Just as Freya had demanded, Elric took her to see her father and brother's graves. He already told her that he didn't know where her mother and aunty were buried at the moment, as Kruger separated them.Elric already expected her to break down, but what he was seeing was different. First of all, she refused to go too close to the graves, and secondly she wasn't crying, just staring. Perhaps in disbelief.He stood a little far from her to give her privacy, but now he felt like going to check up on her. But then she turned to him."I can't say goodbye. It's hard." She confessed. She was carrying flowers that they bought on their way there, but she didn't know how to drop it on the graves. Saying goodbye meant accepting that she would not see them again, and she was not ready to face that reality. It was too harsh.Elric walked up to her."It's okay. You shouldn't force yourself. We can always come back when you are ready.""I thought I was." She stated with a shake of her head. Seeing t

Luciana's heart almost leaped out of her chest when the three men ran violently towards Raziel with weapons in their hands. She almost couldn't watch it, but she forced herself to.The way they came at him, it was as if they had no intention to let go until he is dead. But to her relief, Raziel was quick to dodge their attacks, and he didn't look as bothered as her.The three men surrounded him, ready to attack from every side."If you cannot watch it princess, I can take you somewhere else." Lorenzo offered as he noticed her fear."I can." Luciana stubbornly insisted. She wondered why she was even that affected by the fight. She had seen people being murdered countless number of times, and even if she might not like it, there would be no outward reaction from her.Raziel took his time, dodging every of their attacks, frustrating them. They brought out their daggers and sword, and he still had his attached to his side."Do you think the prince can beat the three of them alone?" Lucian

Raziel and Lorenzo gathered their army and prepared them for the oncoming war. They had their weapons soaked in Luciana's vampire poison. Meanwhile Luciana had also succeeded in making a poison from the werewolves out of wolfs bane, making it more toxic to them.Raziel made his army leave before him with Lorenzo leading them. While he went to see Luciana.He met her in her study chair this time, and he went to check what she was doing."You are drawing?"She nodded with a smile, knowing she was terrible at it."Is that supposed to be a person or an animal? Looks like a cow." He teased her."It's you." Luciana said to him.Raziel frowned. "No. This can't be me. You can't fall for this thing the way you had fallen for me."Luciana only chuckled."Lucy our borders are being attacked right now." He informed her."What?!" She dropped her pen and turned to him in shock."You know we have had this threat of war for a long time coming. I expected it, and I knew it was going to come before our
