All Chapters of No Escape From Fate : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

I return all the books to their places, take the mysteriously offered find with me, and leave the library. Going down the stairs, I meet Iolanta heading toward me with a tray of food.“Plans have changed!” I announce cheerfully. “We’re eating with everyone!”Before lunch, I run up to my room and leave the book there. I’ll start studying it in the evening, alone. For now, I really do need a break from reading. Maybe something will finally distract me from my personal drama with Kays.God, I miss him so much… but I won’t force myself on him. If I really mean that little to him, then I’ll move on somehow—even if it hurts like hell.In the dining hall, I sit down next to a bored-looking Fisa. Raspberry is genuinely happy to see me and is quick to say so.“Tomorrow I’m having dinner with the king,” the girl beams, popping a piece of cheese into her mouth with obvious delight.“You’re really looking forward to it…” I smile at her girlish enthusiasm.“Yes. He’s certainly not exactly the man

Ursula was now on my conscience as well. Ursula, who had genuinely wanted to help me.That was when the decree about selecting brides for the king came into existence.And at the time, that decree caused a massive uproar.Hundreds of girls, women, and even much older ladies began flocking to the capital, all hoping to claim the title of queen. Everyone wanted to test their fate and gain status and power.It was a nightmare.Though, to be honest, most women were eliminated immediately upon seeing me within the palace—unable to overcome their disgust, even for the chance to become the ruler’s wife.But there were those who went all the way……to the end of their way.I don’t remember all of them—but of course, I remember the first. Her name was Aitol. A beautiful dark-haired woman with sun-kissed skin and a sinful gaze.What odes she sang to me about her sudden love!That appearance wasn’t what mattered, that she saw my soul, that I was the man of her dreams.Of course, deep down I didn’

Usually, when a candidate is someone’s beloved daughter, the settlement erupts in desperate wailing from the parents. But here… the girl was handed over to the scouts in silence. No one even looked after her as she left her former life forever.The next girl we took was the curly-haired blonde Nufira.Had I known how thoroughly she would wreck my nerves—and everyone else’s—I would have gone ten leagues around her village. At first, she behaved quite calmly and with restraint, but I could tell immediately that she liked me. That isn’t hard to see when you’ve studied human body language for years, almost to perfection.When we reached Manar’s mountain settlement, an unpleasant surprise awaited me. Normally, a specially appointed agent went to the villages to choose candidates by lottery.The lottery did not involve the girls themselves, but the families who had at least one adult, unmarried, and innocent daughter. If there were several such girls in a family, the relatives decided among

“Get dressed. I’ll show you something,” I said. If everything amazed the prepedollie so deeply, I would blow her mind even more.I knew the Shinir caves like the back of my hand. Back when the ancient people lived there, I often visited them, trading and purchasing various curiosities and quite exclusive items. They were a remarkable people, and it was a great shame they had been forced to leave their old city, once so full of peaceful life. Still, I was glad their descendants had managed to overcome the blight and that their race had not gone extinct. Perhaps one day they would return—though with the progress of civilization, that seemed unlikely.“Eww!” was the lilac cloud’s verdict when she saw me put the deceptive cook into my mouth. “Have you lost your mind? Didn’t your parents tell you as a kid that you shouldn’t put nasty things in your mouth?”“You’re wrong there, prepedollie,” I said, thoroughly entertained by her bluntness. I scooped up another portion of the delicacy and br

We walked for a long time, and I didn’t immediately understand what had been irritating me for the past couple of hours. But when I listened to myself, I realized.Nufira was walking nearby and constantly getting on my nerves. No, she wasn’t chatting—but… she was making other infuriating sounds. She’d squeak at the slightest movement ahead, scream when she saw some local creature, moan from exhaustion, sigh heavily, and so on. AND ALL THE TIME.It started to drive me absolutely insane, especially since she kept ending up right next to me—and sometimes even grabbed my sleeve when she spotted some awkward little animals.She liked Kays, and it was obvious even to the blind, but that arrangement didn’t suit me at all, so I switched to complete and total ignoring.When we finally reached the city of the Shinires, I let out a small breath of relief—there was only one obstacle left to overcome on our path for today.What a surprise it was when I discovered that my influence had no effect on
