Chapter 191: The Cycle

Decreash imperial Palace All the time she tended to Ragaleon on his sickbed, Micah's eyes were opened to new things. Things that were always there, but she never truly saw.On account of her supposed loyalty to the king, she decided to take on the task of seeing to his recovery.During this time she became devastated for many reasons, one being that in the first few days, Ragaleon showed no sign of rejuvenating.Her herbal teas were potent enough, yet they yielded little or no results, making her efforts futile.The queen regent, Selena, made the task even more arduous. Always flitting around, like a bird that was chased from its nest. Never really offering a helping hand, only watching and passing criticism.And so…the countdown began.Day 1 was the toughest; Micah had to fight to revive Ragaleon from the ravine of the herbs the grandmaester had ministered to him. With that day came chaos, and there was no orderliness. Counting down to day two, where she had to stand all day in the

Chapter 192: Weakness

The sound of a shoe clicking against the marbled floor echoed in the room, catching Micah's attention.She raised her gaze from the book she had been reading, and it landed on Selena.Her eyes remained focused on Selena as she closed the book in her hand before rising to her feet. Crossing both hands behind her back, she strolled to where Selena stood beside the bed gazing upon her son."I heard he regained himself… last night."Selena gulped; her throat bubbled as she talked. "You heard well."Micah replied, now standing beside her, eyes also fixed on the bed."Am I to believe that truly this was the work of your hands, or simply the fate the gods bestowed upon my son?"Micah shrugged, fighting to suppress a laughter that she knew too well would be filled with mockery."I am sure you know the answers to your own question."Her eyeballs slid to the corner, catching a glimpse of Selena."Then I am indebted to you."Selena continued, with a wistful smile, her chest heaving."Take a bre

Chapter 193: A Letter

Decreash imperial Palace The muffled moans of Jazell in her chamber were the only noise breaking the silence.Buried between her legs was a concubine, who was servicing her passions, making her head spin with ecstasy."Ugh, huh!Jazell pressed both lips together as she pushed her ass towards the face of the concubine, spreading her legs and giving her more access.Her hands clenched the sheets as her mouth hung open, her chest heaving fromthe eccentric ministration the maid was giving her.She closed her eyes, her hand lifting her gown slightly; they trembled from the pleasure simmering through her blood."What is your name?"Jazell asked between rapid breaths, a small moan escaping her lips."Basima, my lady."The concubine had to pause to answer Jazell's question."Don't stop."Jazell shrieked."Basima…"She called the name fondly, liking the way it sounded on her tongue."My lady, there is a letter for you."Linn's gentle voice pierced the air as she stepped into the chamber.Her

Chapter 194: Hope

Hamstung Dungeon.Drip! Drip!The leaking water pattered on the ground endlessly, the only sound that seemed to deprive the dungeon of deafening silence.The last embers of fire clung stubbornly to the iron wall sconces, their flickering light barely illuminating the damp, moss-stained stones. The smell of mildew and rot hung thick in the air, mixed with the metallic tang of blood long dried.In the corner, a woman huddled, knees pulled to her chest, shivering despite the heavy night. Her hair clung to her damp face as she shifted restlessly, caught between feverish dreams and the gnawing reality of her chains. The faint scratch of rat claws over stone made her flinch, and the tiny, biting insects feasted on her exposed skin.Her eyes half opened flickered to a food at the corner of the cell. Her stomach twisted at the sight. The food had long spoiled, and was now being decomposed by maggots.She had refused to eat the food, thinking it was poisoned.With nothing to eat, she lay back

Chapter 195: Escape plan

The wind tugged at her hair as she mounted the black horse. The shawl wrapped around her neck swerved like a cape behind her, being lifted by the wind.She tightened her grip on the reins and steered the horse toward the back gates, exactly as Harab had commanded. At a single, decisive kick, the stallion surged forward, its forelimbs rearing into the air for a breathless moment before crashing back down, hooves striking the earth as it launched into a powerful gallop.The wind rushed past her as the horse dove forward.The small back gate stood open, half-hidden behind overgrown weeds that had crept into the garden.With a powerful leap, the horse cleared the gate, landing solidly on its hooves as the ground thudded beneath them.Joya didn't stop. She didn't look back. Her mind clung to a single thought—seeing him again, being drawn into his embrace once more.That longing burned through her veins, fueling her zeal as she urged the horse onward.She journeyed along secluded paths, kee

Chapter 196: Treason

As Jazell made her way down the hallways, her hair brushed lightly against her neck, framing her face like a veil.She was wearing a blue gown with long, flowing sleeves, and cinched at the waist was a belt-like design with intricate golden embroidery that shimmered faintly under the rays of the sunlight streaming in from the tall windows.Not a single wrinkle marred her face; it was smooth, flawless, and marble-calm. Her chin remained lifted as she walked, posture carved into every stride.She approached Ragaleon's chambers, and the guards stationed before the door stepped aside at once, bowing low in practiced courtesy.Her chin remained lifted. Not once did her gaze falter; she stared straight ahead, unbothered, not even caring to acknowledge the guards.Without breaking her stride, she swept past them and entered Ragaleon's room, the doors closing behind her.The first thing her eyes landed on was Micah, seated on a chair beside Ragaleon's bed, quietly watching him sleep.He looke

Chapter 197: To be a mother

Linn had stepped into her mistress's chamber holding in her hand a basket filled with fresh linens baked by the sunlight but sensed something was wrong.She dropped the basket, and on the floor just at the doorway, her eyes were searching around the room.And then it finally hit her.The dressing table was empty; all the jewelry was gone.She became alert; she quickly made her way to the chest box where she kept all Jazell's clothes. They were gone.Her heart raced as she fidgeted, unable to make sense of what was happening. Right then, the door nudged open, and Jazell stepped in, just returning from Ragaleon's chamber."What are you doing there?"Jazell's eyes darkened, her voice cold as it cut through the room."Were you planning to steal from me, Linn?"The words struck hard. Linn blinked, stunned, her lashes fluttering as she struggled to understand her mistress's sudden lack of trust."No—no, my lady," she said quickly. "I noticed all your belongings were gone, and I was only ch

Chapter 198: Delilah

The sun stood high above the castle walls, its scorching rays pouring into the outer courtyard.Heat shimmered faintly in the air as servants moved back and forth with careful urgency.Jazell's belongings had already been arranged inside the carriage: the chestbox was secured, folded gowns were packed away, and small boxes were tucked into corners so they would not rattle during the journey. The maids handled everything with quiet efficiency, occasionally glancing toward her as if awaiting further instructions.But Jazell said nothing.She stood a short distance away, hands folded loosely before her, her gaze following each movement with calm scrutiny.It was then that Linn approached.She came quietly, stepping close enough that no wandering ear could hear. Leaning toward Jazell, she whispered a few brief words.With an approving nod, Jazell said,"A baby girl, you say?"She mused softly, her hand drifting to rest upon her protruding stomach, fingers brushing over the fabric of her

Chapter 199: Dawn

Black Sea Territory.The boat rocked on the surface of the Black Sea, under the starless sky.The lantern in the boat glowed with a faint light; insects were attracted to the light, and they danced around it, fascinated.Joya's gaze lingered on the vast, ink-dark sky, her blue eyes catching the moonlight as it slipped in and out of the drifting clouds. Behind her, the old man paddling the boat suddenly stopped. With a weary grunt, he let the paddle slip from his hands. It struck the side of the boat softly before settling into the water, sending out small ripples that faded almost instantly.He lowered himself onto the bench, shoulders sagging, and reached for the wine bag he had brought along. Tilting it to his lips, he drank deeply, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand before drinking again.The boat continued forward on its own accord, nudged gently by the unseen current.Yet the old man's eyes never left the west.Soon his posture dulled and his limbs loosened.The sharp sc

Chapter 200: A place called Decreash

Decreash imperial kingdomNot too far from the seashore lay a bustling market, and as Joya drifted towards it, she could already see some of the things that lay ahead."Decreash," Joya murmured, rolling the unfamiliar name over her tongue. It felt foreign.Her legs carried her forward through the market, and in less than a few minutes she had concluded inwardly that this was the most enormous market she had been to, even bigger than that of Hamstung's.The marketplace pulsed with life. People of every sort crowded the streets—traders shouting prices, children weaving between bodies, strangers brushing past one another without pause. That alone did not surprise her.What stirred her curiosity were the devices. The western world was indeed more developed.Odd, mismatched contraptions lined some of the stalls; some spun, others clicked or hissed softly. Each looked strange, yet purposeful; every one of them had a role to play.The people of Decreash were just as striking. Women moved th
