Talia's Pov.
The more I look into it, the more it's laughable to imagine. There was nothing important aside from the invitations from the nobles.
"How ridiculous..."
'We have received a word that the engagement will happen next week.
Please invite us all to gather at the Palace.'Distant nobles who started to create rumors about me, wants to act friendly? It's not like I am bitter enough to cancel their request.It's just that...I didn't expect that the result would be like this. I thought about it for how many times, realizing that Hades did something behind my back that caused this atmosphere.
I clenched my fist and stabbed the paper using a dagger. "They must have think that they can walk all over me."
There's no way
The moment when I stepped out from the Palace in secret, I was able to hide my appearance through wearing a cloak and eventually, I was able to escape without anyone noticing.After travelling treacherous mountains and forest, I was able to reach the next valley from the Palace's destination.I roamed my eyes around and parted my lips when I saw the lively places. I came across a market bustling with different magicians and merchants. There, the cinnamon and spices struck my nose. The different coloured gemstones, crystals and diamonds emitted light from the shafts of shoppers around me.As I crossed the market, a tall fat man with green eyes said. "Ah! Are you a traveller and looking for gemstones? I have all kinds of them, they are newly found!"I halted and and surveyed the glimmering gemstones displayed in the stall. One stood out the most that caught my eyes, a gemstone reflecting blue and silver hues of light hanging
I tend to believe what's inside my mind and do what I think that I must do, I am that kind of person and I do believe that it's what makes me do the right thing in order to survive. But it's different now, the path I've been taking isn't familiar to me. It's not the path that I've been planing to take, it's different. I know, it's different. That's why I don't exactly understand, why am I taking this path? Why did I chose to take this path and follow the unsure end? I gotta say that I'm really stupid to think that I can survive this night without bringing anything except for weapon. I lost my bun and even my track. Now, I'm trying to survive with a bucket of burning woods to create light while embracing my sword. This is really bullshit. I wasn't expecting this to happen, or maybe yes, but I didn't expect that I would have to travel without any food. That damn ancient boy, he stole my b
I leaned my back on the three while pressing my stomach to stop the blood from dripping. It will be tough for me to escape when I lose too much blood, it will be a burden to me.I tore my skirt into half and bit the tore garment while wrapping the other half on my stomach. The sun will soon rise in an hour according to the temperature, I should get going.Hades might not be involved with them, but it's quite suspicious that they stabbed me yet they let me escaped as if nothing happened.What the hell are they up to?Well, it doesn't matter. As long as I can find Pursues, I need him in order for me to commence the rebellion.There should be nothing to worry about if I can find him. Knowing Pursues, he wouldn't run away without taking back what he lost.Especially when it's his comrades, he wouldn't abandon them for nothing.He will come back and kill those motherfuckers. I just need to stay clo
The whole place was like a rouge place, it was a massacre. There were pools of blood on every second step on the ground. How did this happen?"Is this...?""It's the camp of the enemy, we chose this place to avoid suspicions."I breathed out before I chuckled. "You've gain some senses after losing half of your soldiers," I said.He stopped and turned around, looking at me with his unemotional face."I've gain nothing," he mumbled."You have, me. You gained something important and I ain't useless," I said with a grin. I took three step to reached his face and leaned closer to his ear. "Do you want me to kill every one of them? Those group who massacred your soldiers?" I whispered.He took a palm of strand from my hair and kissed it. "Why are you so delude on the fact that you can kill them for me? I won't oblige you to do that, I will be t
"Will you really be fine?" he asked while carefully wrapping the bandage around my stomach.I nodded. "Yes, it'll not be easy but I trust my instinct. I will not be in danger," I answered.After wrapping the bandage, he glanced at me before cupping my face. "I'm worried that he might be planning something that is dangerous for you," he said.I chuckled and caressed his hands. I should stop his worries, knowing Pursues he will never stop worrying unless he can see me off safely."Believe me, Hades will not put me in danger. Before the sun will rise, I want you to take all of your people out of this place.""I can't leave especially when you're wounded—""Your highness," I calmly uttered his name. "The Hades that I know will search the whole Kingdom with a fine-tooth comb. He will immediately order a search command upon knowing my disappearance. Even if it's within the Empire or outside the proximate city, h
Hades was holding my waist while walking straight to the entrance of the Imperial Palace. How can I not forget? The Emperor is waiting at the entrance, which is why he's guarding me...too much.We stopped 5 meters away from the Emperor before I lay low and bended down. "Greetings to the Sun of Sylvestre Empire," I carefully greeted."It has been difficult for you, did you had a tough life with those scumbags?"I grinned before I raised my head and smiled softly. His question was like mocking me for being stupid, but he's wrong."It was very tough your Majesty but thanks to his Highness, I was able to escape from them without broken limbs to worry about."He didn't even look like he's worried that I'm in danger, he's worried that the reputation of the Imperial Palace will be at stake the moment when the Sylvestrian people will notice about my disappearance.He's pertaining to himself on that "scumbag" that
Tick'tock Tick'tock Tick'tock—the clock was creating a melancholic sound that defeats the silence within the four corners of my room. The way the emitted sound of it reminds me of how the world would be peaceful if it's revolting with silence. In front of me was my own reflection that seems to be at the prick of seeing a painful scenery.It'll not be long before I can have my victory, it'll not be long till I can grasp the justice that I've been wanting to have.But why do I feel like I've missed something that made my whole decisions went to the wrong path? There's gotta be something that I didn't know.Where did I go wrong? Why am I bothered?"Hah. I see...I thought you were already d
"How is everything?" I asked.He stumbled upon answering my question. "I told you, everything is going according to your plan. The only problem is that boy...Trevor.""He's a man," I hissed and rest my chin on my palm. "What about him?" I asked."There's something wrong about him. Not only the color of his soul, but his actions are too repulsive. He's crazy over you," he said.I chuckled while looking straight to the pen I am fidgeting on my fingers. "Why? Did he kill some knights while trying to find me?"His eyebrows furrowed before he shook his head. He took the vacant chair and placed it in front of me. He sat on the chair and crossed his legs, manly."I've never seen a soul like yours and him. It's difficult to explain in words, but I can say that it's filled with darkness. However, there is a difference between yours and him."He place the empty glass on the table. "That glass is you, your soul is l
