Lahat ng Kabanata ng No Escape From Fate : Kabanata 191 - Kabanata 200

Many important and high-ranking nobles had come to Letid, and even several princes from neighboring kingdoms. I could see that most of the men didn’t like my candidacy because of my willfulness and the trouble my lack of obedience might bring in the future. And they didn’t keep quiet about it either, which made me smile mockingly.“Gerald, may I ask why you decided to hand your life’s work over to the young Naziza?” one of the pompous fat men began cautiously, clearly trying to win my favor.“She is my only heir, and I am extremely happy about that,” the old man said proudly, smiling at me encouragingly.“But she isn’t your daughter. Perhaps a favorite?”Ugh. My appetite vanished instantly.“No. But I consider her my daughter. She saved my life, by the way, and she is worthy of ruling Zergedia!” the old man smiled, patting my hand where it lay on the table.“This is absurd!” squealed one of the powdered-up princes. “How can you hand power over to some unknown woman?! Your adopted heir

“Yes…” I lower my eyes.“So who managed to sneak into the heart of my best friend?” he smiles more lightly now.“And why aren’t you together?”“Oh, trust me—you’re better off not knowing,” I press my lips together, hiding all the hurt Kays left behind.“He hurt you? Who do I need to punch?” Antosh growls seriously, making me smile.“No… it’s complicated. No punching required,” I say quietly, knowing Anton wouldn’t stand a chance against Kays anyway.“You’ve changed so much,” Anton says softly, touching my hair.“You too, by the way!” I laugh. “Come on. We have a lot to catch up on.”I take his arm and we go outside. Completely ignoring the other guests, I spend the evening with my friend, telling him about myself and listening to his story. I don’t go into detail about Kays or the curses.“So how did you even get here?” I finally ask as we walk through the garden.“How did you end up in this world?”“I honestly don’t really know,” the fire demon scratches his head.“That evening, I di

“Oh really?” I raise a brow pointedly. “And did your mysterious beauty introduce herself? Or did you handle things right there in the bushes?”“Of course not!” he shoots me an indignant look. “She seemed scared, kept looking around. I didn’t even manage to get her name. She shyly thanked me for helping her up… and ran off.”“What a shame,” I smile mockingly. “Weird girl. Maybe she’s crazy.”“Yeah, well it wouldn’t be so bad if her butt hadn’t haunted my dreams all night!” Anton sighs heavily. “I even woke up all… soaked.”Listening to my friend, I couldn’t help but laugh—but I already knew exactly what I was going to do that evening. No matter how much I wanted to dodge it, I still had to greet the new guests. They turned out to be two very strong but charming Moors, both with completely clean souls. In short, there was plenty to choose from—and in two days the tournaments would begin, which Gerald was anticipating with almost ridiculous excitement.But while everyone was busy with th

I saw Laverna blush and start breathing heavily. She understood what was happening—and she was in shock. Tears welled up in her eyes and she sank down onto a chair, completely lost. Then she looked at me in despair.“He will never love me… I disgust him. I even disgust myself! I haven’t been able to look at myself in a mirror for years!” the witch began to sob desperately, burying her face in her hands. “I lived so many years without even a shred of hope, and then you come and start stirring my soul! I’m so tired… Iza, if you only knew how tired I am!”She was crying uncontrollably now, and I went to her, hugging her and trying to calm her down.“I have no one. I’ve been completely alone for so many years. The moment Kays’s curse broke, I felt it immediately! And the very first thought that came to me was to go to Briol so he would finally end my existence!” she confessed through sobs. “But then my body began to change, and I became myself again. For the first time in five hundred yea

The man greedily devoured Laverna’s pale figure with his eyes from head to toe. His attention lingered especially on her chest and hips, and I felt her hand twitch in mine, ready to run from that kind of attention.“This is my friend, Lavi,” I introduced the witch, and while the womanizer bowed to kiss her hand, I signaled her with my eyes to play along. She had to learn, after all.“Oh! What a wonderful name for such a charming lady! You look like a heavenly being descended upon our sinful earth!” On the last word, the seducer gave Laverna a very suggestive smile, clearly inviting her to dive into that “sin” with him. He didn’t let go of her hand, tracing suggestive circles on her skin with his finger.“Thank you,” the green-eyed girl squeaked briefly and finally pulled her hand free. “And how should I address you?” It was obvious she was forcing herself to keep the conversation going.“Oh, where are my manners?” the man sighed theatrically. “I am Lord Hornet Beif Adwinsker. You may
