The Return Of The King Novels & Stories

she whispered, a faint smile curving her lips. It undid him. His eyes stung, hot with traitorous tears. He turned quickly, pressing his lips into a hard line, willing his face into composure. You’re her guard. Not her boyhood admirer. Not that foolish child at the palace gates. “Then… if you don’t mind, we should return,” he managed, his voice steadier than he felt. The sun would soon break. The king would be demanding answers. “I’ll carry you on my back.”

It is sufficient to set out for advertising to see a portion of it. The advertisement script has a scene where the disciples decide to fight with the main character in the middle of heaven and earth, which requires a majestic scene and must have blue sky, water, and a vast desert, so the filming crew had to fly to another area to get the scene. The key actor in the advertisement is, of course, a big star, playing the role of The Demon King, and all the models left are just background actors, playing the roles of a few brazen people surrounding and attacking the main actor. This type of role that is completely background has no prospect for a modelling career, but fortunately, the job lasts q

Claire announced with a smile. Clark squeezed his wife’s hand, and she gave him a reassuring smile in return. “Now, both of you, come forward.” As Claire spoke, Timothy approached, carrying the King’s crown in a glass case. “Since my duty was to rule in the King’s absence, now that he has returned, it’s time to give this back to him.” Claire took the crown from the case and placed it on Clark’s head. The council immediately knelt. “Welcome back, Your Majesty the King!” they declared in unison.

Without realizing or caring or asking her where he is, I sprint out of the throne room, out of the maze-like corridors, and appear at the entrance. The King has returned. My feet come to a slow halt when I see the scene before me. Amelia is embracing him—Her mate, King Tyson. My heart drowns in the pit of my stomach. I scan the area, try to look out of the open gates, but my gaze meets Lenora’s eyes and my shoulders droop. The King has returned. King Tyson. Just him. And no one else. That’s why Lenora looks both relieved to have her brother back and worried to know her mate is still out there.

Lyra’s heart stopped. Vale raised his sword. Ronan stepped to her other side. Cassian slid into a fighting stance. Malachai whispered, horrified: “The dead are not rising.” A pause. “They are returning.” The hand pushed higher. Fingers. Wrist. Forearm. Something—or someone—was climbing out of the Gate. And every instinct in Lyra’s blood whispered one truth: This wasn’t a mindless revenant. This wasn’t a monster. This was a king without a crown.

A silver blade appeared from inside the door. Its point aimed at Raiken’s chest. The voice spoke again. ONE KING LEAVES. Raiken turned his head toward me. The bond opened completely. Fear. Love. Resolve. Then he released my hand. He stepped through the Door of Kings with the false king still attached to him. The seal slammed shut. His presence vanished from the bond. Across the black surface, one final line appeared. THE QUEEN MUST CHOOSE WHICH KING RETURNS.

⸻ And the King. ⸻ Amara’s heart pounded. ⸻ The second mark continued glowing. ⸻ The Fallen Celestial stared at Lucian. ⸻ Then at Amara. ⸻ Then whispered: ⸻ “The King has returned.” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Absolute silence. ⸻ Lucian looked deeply unimpressed. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ Kael sighed. ⸻ “That’s your response?” ⸻ “No.”

Then a voice entered every mind. Not spoken. Not heard. Felt. RETURN THE KING. The creature inside Rowan smiled. "Still loyal after all these years." The Warden answered. THE KING MUST RETURN TO THE THRONE. "No." For the first time since awakening, the ancient king's voice became cold. Not cruel. Determined. "I will not repeat my mistake." Everyone froze. Evelyn looked at him. "What does that mean?" He looked back at her. The darkness in his eyes slowly faded for a second, revealing Rowan's silver color underneath.

she said, not as loud as she’d first proclaimed and I found myself unable to move again. “Why? How?” I asked confused. “I don’t know the details, but she saw them come back just now, apparently, the alpha king is also back from the war,” she said and I felt my heart breaking again, my stomach sank. If the war was over, Nate would be coming back to Ravenclaw where he governs, and that would only mean one thing, he’ll be back living in the castle with Carla. My fist collided with the wall in anger, why did he have to come into the picture?

She was treated poorly as a personal sitter for Rhett who didn’t know what respect was either. She rushed back to her quarters and knelt down to pray for her safety within the walls of the dreadful castle. The church bell was rung loudly, indicating that the King is back. She gasped with a mix of fear and happiness that he had come back alive because that was hardly possible after anyone encounters the Northerners. “Ilena dear?” Oana, the old servant of the castle calls. She turns to her only friend in these huge walls. “Yes, Oana?” “Everybody is to be present to welcome the soldiers and the king into the Palace.”
