Crooked Kingdom By Leigh Bardugo の小説・ストーリー

I closed my eyes. The dream took me back to that night, the war, the betrayal. Even the king didn’t foresee that they were surrounded in their own kingdom, the strongest. Someone betrayed them; they trusted the wrong people. My sword was killing everything in its path; I had no mercy. Zor came out to help; his deadly claws crushed enemies. Then I heard the king scream her name. I turned to see the magic arrow in her chest, piercing her heart. I knew this was planned by the factions that once promised to be allies.

His voice was so hoarse that it made my ears sting, "I wondered why that thing didn't scoop out your heart. Turns out, your blood was the best shield..." …… I woke up drenched in sweat, back in my bed. It was a week before the Haunts world descended. The gold bar from last night's burial was still heavy in my pocket.

Philip, comes from nowhere , accused with a frown etched across his face. I slowly stood up from the ground. "Do you know how insane you sound and how pathetic you look? Do you think the middle forest is the first to know how to pull a stunt like that? Well, I have to break it to you but the HellGuard has been hunting and hunted for years. And don't you ever use the word betrayal because you have no idea what it is," I spat angrily and pushed past him in a stronger force as I finally transformed.I ran after the other deer and caught them within an hour. Thankfully, the rest followed the instructions I gave them before we came here. Others defend while the rest hunt. After the intense competi

"The first book I read, it's like a history book in general. It tells about the existing kingdoms. Of the many kingdoms, I am interested in the Lefko Kingdom and the Aima Kingdom." "Lefko is the name of a castle and territory that I visit once a year. Of course, I'll be curious about the story behind it. But Aima, a kingdom whose government is dominated by women, makes me moved to know about her struggles." “Lefko and Aima managed to take my breath away. Knowing that these two kingdoms had a relationship, even Lefko made Aima collapse. Made me want to know more, and luckily this book satisfied my curiosity.”

The words rang in my skull again, no matter how many times I tried to silence them. Moonstone and Shadowfang. Her veins carried the right to rule both. She was the Queen of both kingdoms. And I— I was just the rogue prince who had clawed my way back from the dead. I had bled for this kingdom. I had fought to prove that my worth didn’t lie in the blood that tried to erase me, but in the hands that pulled swords, in the heart that refused to turn cold no matter how many times it was betrayed. But now… everything had shifted.

“This, sister, is the kingdom of Etherios. You and I are the daughters of the fallen King Samael. Your child is to inherit the throne.” Mitzie stood from her seat, eyes and mouth wide open, trying to take in all that she was seeing. It looked something like a cross between a vast Roman Empire, and a Medieval Kingdom. She didn’t know how that was possible when they were two vastly different looks, but somehow, they worked well together here. There were no other persons around, but she somehow knew there were others that were there. "I really don’t understand. I mean, I love to dream…or excuse me, would love to believe this, but I really don’t know how any of this is possible,” Mitzie said in

Since then, he had been finding ways to kill them all and take over hell. The Queen was getting weaker every time and she knew it was only but a few years before she gives in. So, she decided to create something that would forever protect her Kingdom and her people. She gathered the fire, water, air, and magic elements from each corner of the universe and had gotten a book for him to know how to create it. Every late night, Bagdana was leafing through parchment pages, trying to glean every piece of knowledge. However, as soon as he got to the sixth chapter, he fell asleep and the words on the book rubbed off his face. He tried reading out the last instruction but all he could see was... "...

It’s almost dark, and he is doing his usual end-of-day checking of the things I have learned. “All the human families who served and gained recognition during the war are given their own kingdoms to rule. So, from a single Kingdom, humans are divided into different lands. And the Pitchford is the thirteenth Kingdom founded since the war of hundred years ago.” “And the name of the original Kingdom?” “Orttenburg.” “Correct, tomorrow, we will—” “Harbin!” I look at the sound of the voice. It’s Theo. “King Eugene Theo Pitchford,” Harbin starts. “You are not allowed in this room. You have other documents that you need to finish right?”

As I walk around the great room, it's obvious that certain packs in particular are missing- the Rogue packs. Instead of having different alphas for every pack, they are all run by a king who calls himself "King of the Rogues." I can't help but roll my eyes, anybody who chooses to go by that name probably has a bigger ego than Caleb. Nobody knows what he looks like since few have ever lived after encountering him, his reputation violent and messy. He never shows up to these events despite receiving the invitations. Most alphas would prefer him as a business partner rather than an enemy.
