Sigtryggr Last Kingdom Novels & Stories

Especially not my own child. Then there’s the countdown. The cruel ticking clock silencing everything else. Maybe this was the perfect ending. He’d impregnate me. And before the pups could form… I’d die. A win-win. Two ways to shatter a king’s heart. His dynasty… gone. His only offsprings… buried in ashes. And maybe, just maybe, the woman he couldn’t stop loving… gone forever. The ultimate regret. The Alpha King’s last one.

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?”

Ragaleon was calm; he allowed his eyes to drop back to the map, then signaled his mother to come even closer until she now stood beside him by the table. "This is Hamstung, the second-largest kingdom in the nation." He began, his index finger tapping one of the territories marked with a red dot, towards the south. "This country has the best slave trade market in the east; they mine gold as if it were nothing precious. The king is a selfish but ambitious man, but I made him swear an oath of loyalty to me. Do you want to know how? I made his daughter Jia my fourth queen." Swaying his hands to the northern side of the map... "This is Vandamonth, the third-largest kingdom in the nation.

King Vladimir announced when he and the rest of his family returned to the hall. Just as he expected, Regia Astara’s allied kingdoms, Regia Terrania and Regia Valexia, had left soon after them. Only Regia Solaria’s allied kingdoms remain, as well as the only kingdom where merfolks live, Regia Zepharia. It’s also the only kingdom that is neutral. No enemies, no allies. Being the only merfolk in Eldritch makes them practically the odd ones out, so the others tend to ignore or leave them be. The party continued with only four kingdoms remaining, though Regia Zepharia left an hour later, leaving the allied kingdoms on their own.

I introduced myself, "I am Alpha Damien Riggs. I will not be controlled by anyone... Especially you." King Orfeo sighed, as though he was growing tired of this conversation, "To what do I owe this visit?" I tried to show mercy, "Leave the werewolf kingdom, and you will live to see another year. Don't and your reign will end here and now along with the rest of your vampires. We have already killed hundreds." King Orfeo smiled, "But I have thousands more." I smiled, "Oh, I know. King Uther from the dragon kingdom and nine other dragons are outside killing them. Oh! And Queen Winnie, from the kingdom of witches, sends her regards along with ten of her witches."

Another muttered, “Surely not one of the human volunteers.” I let them sit in that tension for a breath. “Yes,” I said calmly. “A human.” The murmuring began immediately. “Impossible.” “A dragon king—” “A human cannot—” “Enough.” My voice cut through the room like steel. “She is not merely human.” That stilled them. Kaelith chose that moment to step forward. “She is the last-born Madrigal in this realm.” Shock. Real, visceral shock. One of the elders actually rose halfway from his seat before sitting again.

I swig my drink so I don’t smile or stare or do anything that might stop this story before it reaches its conclusion. “Before, dozens of powerful kingdoms vied for spits and scraps of land. After, through our early days of marriage, they began to crumble. Kingdoms with centuries of history. Kingdoms we considered allies, even friends.” He sighs heavily. “Yewbrush Stream fell to a steady, ravenous military campaign. Pebble Forest ate itself alive, and only after did anyone discover King Gavin had planted an advisor in their court. Starfall Mountain simply disappeared, their royal family missing and their people aimless.” Father glances at me out of the corner of his eye. “That last happened w

I bow slightly to them before returning to the King, and everyone goes silent. Layla watches me closely with fear in her eyes. She may have come to us for help, but she doesn’t want to see anything bad happen to her father, this I know. “You are now denounced as a King.” As the words leave my mouth, he begins to cry. He is begging me not to do this. I can tell from his stance and the desperation in his eyes. “You and your minions who stood around you earlier are now exiled from this Kingdom, never to return. All the members of this Kingdom are off-limits for you to contact and request favors. I will permit you to say goodbye to your daughter, and then you must immediately leave.” I step back

Wearing only thin clothes, barefoot. “Welcome to the Kingdom of Voneveir!” That voice was so familiar in his ears. Alexis can never be wrong about it. It was his son, Allan. "Your Majesty, Do you have any last words for your people?" Being humiliated like a criminal who purged innocents, does he really deserve to receive such disgrace? “Your homeland whom you loved…” Remembering every sleepless night he had in order to manage every problem his kingdom is facing… “… your people whom you cherished… “

"You are thinking so far ahead... the war is over. No one can threaten your position anymore. You will live a long life and Omar will be ready when you're gone. There is no need for this..." "And what if all those things are not true? There is always a chance." "The kingdom survived regencies before. Greedy mothers, young kings. It survived bad kings too." Astrid still tries to convince him even though the king seems more than determined in his plans. "There is news from across the sea..." This time his expression leaves no room for arguing. "The spies send descriptions of a fleet being built. Of huge arrow launchers. Powerful enough to destroy castles..." "Powerful enough to kill a dragon?"
