{Ciril’s POV}[ ~ Two Days Later ~ ]If I say misfortune is after my life, I mean it.Misfortune is after me.Unlike Prince Landon, my fate and destiny are hateful towards me. I don’t get to become the Queen of the Reigns or have the moon goddess give me a chunk of her soul to make me powerful.I am destined to keep suffering and suffering. — Ivanka catching me smiling at Prince Landon was proof of this fact. My fate literally made her appear from nowhere just so I could be more wretched. But now, two days later, something weird was happening. Ivanka hadn’t done anything cruel to me yet. I mean, she hasn’t punished me more, attacked me physically, or said anything harsh to me. She hasn’t reacted in any brutal way towards me.It was as if she had seen that instance with me and Prince Landon and had chosen to ignore it. It scared me now, but then I was elated that she hadn’t done anything to me. Maybe she realized that I’m no longer a hindrance in her mission to gain the Prince no

{Ciril’s POV}I had just two weeks. I had just two weeks and some days left to live. Yesterday had taken a turn that I never believed that I would ever experience, and even now that I’m hunger-stricken, shackled, and stained with dirt, I still didn’t believe that what had happened had happened. I still didn’t believe that Anika could betray me like that. I still didn’t believe that she had said all those things she had said naturally. I was emotionally bruised by that instance but I held onto the hope that there was an explanation waiting for me somewhere.I was in the Dungeons now, and in the same cell I had once visited. Prince Landon had instructed that I be kept here during the night and dragged around in chains during the day as I did my duties— which would be times two of what I did before. Because of Anika, Prince Landon now truly believed that I killed the King hence the chains. He seemingly doesn’t want me to kill anyone else. Meanwhile, I had never even taken a life in

{Ciril’s POV}The first day had gone and today was the second. I was down to thirteen days.With the way things are going, I don’t think I will make it to day 10.I know I had assured the Hencher Mistress yesterday that I was going to live— want to live, but I had said that for her sake and not mine. She’s grown to love and care for me so much and I could see it, this was why I agreed to want to live. I did it for her sake when in actuality, I wanted to die. I didn’t understand why the Hencher mistress believed I could not die, but this was too much torture for me to join her in that belief, especially since the torture was weakening my body soul, and spirit by the minute. I had almost died from hunger and exhaustion yesterday. That would have been the case if not for the piece of bread I had found in a pouch of the dress. The Hencher Mistress had whispered into my ears to tell me about it before she left me to do my duty, and I munched it down later on when those Assholes weren’t

{Ciril’s POV}[Two Days Later - Day Four]I felt like I was losing parts of my consciousness bit by bit. As the days chipped by, so did important parts of myself— like the ability to think straight or the ability to smile.The act of smiling was totally erased from my life now as I had been stricken with so much pain that I had completely forgotten what the opposite of pain was. Due to my daily torturous routine, my life felt gloomier by the second and it was made worse by the fact that the people I once loved and cherished were the ones playing key roles in my torture. Anika had bruised my heart. She had scourged me emotionally with her betrayal and to me, that was the worst form of torture out of all the tormentous things I’ve been put through. She had just abandoned the friendship we had been creating and stabbed my heart without looking back. She didn’t even look remorseful while she watched me being whipped by Tenn yesterday. So now, I was training my emotions to be used to

{Ciril’s POV}They won.I ended up racing about through the space in the Throne room, naked but covering my body in the best possible way I could.I didn’t dance, but the men seemed to still like my performance… even though I hadn’t been performing anything. They still seemed to like whatever I was doing, and this had added to my gloom as I still served as their entertainment whatsoever. And in addition to that, Taka and his brother had also been entertained because they were the ones in charge of making me race around and cry while whipping me like an animal. Now, the entertainment session was over. The Alpha Queen wanted to continue the discussion session with cloaked men, so I was now being dragged out of the Throne room since they didn’t have any use for me anymore. I didn’t have clothes anymore as it had all been ripped to shreds, so now, I was being dragged out of the Throne room with a naked body covered in blood. I still felt a bit ashamed that my body was on show for every
