Married to the Cursed Alpha Mage のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

MANY YEARS LATER……Evelyn POVI stood silently beside my father, King Thorne, and my mother, Queen Violet, alongside my five older sisters, as we all watched the servants carefully arrange my belongings inside the royal carriage that would soon take me away to Lunarius Kingdom… my new home. The cold morning wind brushed softly against my skin, yet it did nothing to calm the fear growing deeply inside my chest. The palace guards moved around quickly while the horses stomped impatiently against the ground, ready for departure. Everyone around me looked calm, as though today was just another ordinary royal arrangement. But for me, it felt like I was standing at the edge of my own death.My father, King Thorne, had sold me away… or perhaps it was better to say he had sacrificed me to the King of Lunarius as his new bride. And I did not need anyone to tell me what fate awaited me there. Rumors about King Lucien had spread across every kingdom for years. They said he was cursed before birth

Lucien POVI walked angrily through the hallway leading to my personal chamber, my heavy footsteps echoing against the stone floor of the castle. Rage burned violently inside me, though I could not fully understand the reason behind it. The guards standing outside my chamber immediately lowered their heads the moment they saw the deadly expression on my face. None of them dared to utter a single word. They knew better than to cross my path whenever I looked like this.When I reached my chamber, I gripped the door handle tightly, prepared to push it open. However, after a few moments, I slowly pulled my hand away. A deep growl rumbled in my chest as I turned around and walked away from the building. I could not stay inside those walls tonight. My mind was far too restless.Stepping outside, I made my way toward the vast backyard that stretched beyond the castle. A thick forest surrounded the land, while several small mountains stood proudly in the distance beneath the moonlit sky. With

A scream suddenly erupted from all of them at once.Chaos instantly followed.Some of the maids stumbled backward in fear while others nearly tripped over their own feet trying to escape the room.I opened my mouth, wanting to tell them that I was alive and not some ghost haunting the castle, but their terrified screams drowned out every word before I could even speak. They were so busy trying to escape that none of them noticed I was attempting to explain myself. I could only watch helplessly as they disappeared one after another.I stood there, completely unsure of what to do.Should I run after them?But that would only make the situation even worse. They would probably think I was some ghost chasing after them, and the thought alone made me sigh helplessly. It would have been better if I had simply stayed inside the room and waited for everyone to calm down.With that thought, I slowly walked back to the bed and sat down quietly.I remained seated on the edge of the bed for what f

Pulling the chair backward, I slowly stood up and started walking toward the door. I needed to leave the dining hall before my tears began to fall, and that was the last thing I wanted to do right now. Crying in front of the servants would only make me feel even more embarrassed, and I had already humiliated myself enough today.When I reached the door, the guards immediately pushed it open for me. I had barely taken a few steps outside when I suddenly heard Freya call after me.“My Lady.”I stopped walking before slowly turning around to face her.She hurried over before bowing.“My Lady, I would love to take you around the castle,” she said.I looked at her silently, unsure whether I should agree. What was the point of seeing the castle when I would most likely be killed tonight by my own husband? The thought alone made my heart sink. But then Seraphina's cruel words echoed through my mind once again, reminding me of what awaited me if I returned to my chamber. I knew exactly what I

The chamber door slowly creaked open, and Lucien stepped inside. The moment he entered the room, he stopped by the doorway and remained completely still. His eyes immediately landed on the beautiful figure sleeping peacefully on the bed. For several long moments, he simply stood there staring at her without moving. The room was silent except for the gentle rise and fall of her chest. She looked so peaceful, so completely unaware of the danger surrounding her. Somehow, she had managed to fall asleep despite knowing she was married to a monster. A monster who had already killed twenty brides before her. A monster who had walked into this very room countless times before and left with blood on his hands. Yet she slept peacefully as though she had forgotten that, at any moment, death could come for her. The sight stirred something strange inside him, something he could neither understand nor explain, and for the first time in centuries, Lucien found himself quietly watching a sleeping wom
