Duke Benedict looked at his entourage of knight horses led by prince Alaric and Oscar; he saw his daughter in the prince's arms as they were all in front of him."Where is duchess Hera?" the duke asked in a cold tone making everyone confused."Duke, we left without duchess Hera in the first place. Instead, he asked us to track Princess Rania's whereabouts with the prince and Mr. Oscar." Sara answered firmly.Hearing the answer from his wife's private knight, he realized if his wife had not returned, and might be in danger. "Take my daughter; the healer is waiting. I'll look for my wife and don't come out until the second bell rings because, at this time, monsters have successfully entered the kingdom!!" said duke Benedict, who immediately spurred his horse.But sadly, duke Benedict couldn't find his wife anywhere; his knights and the kingdom had already handled the monster attacks. But no one saw his wife when asked, and duke Benedict was increasingly panicked.Until then, the second
The news of the death of King Philips the Gustaf I was announced by the palace, sound of trumpets and mourning from the residents reached the ears of Rania, who was hugging her mother. She is currently in prison on charges of betraying the king, poisoning the royal family, and being a user of black magic, which is forbidden in the Gustaf kingdom."Mom, are we going to get out of this prison?" Rania asked her mother, who was holding back sobs."Sure, we'll get out of here safely," her mother replied."But for how long? It's cold in here, and it smells like mom…." Little Rania started to whine."It's okay, and mom will hug you. It won't be cold anymore," she said with tears.She felt guilty that her daughter, who did not even know anything, was Implicated in the political schemes of the kingdom that wanted the Guinevere family to fall into ruin. A well-bred daughter with affection had to be in a cold, dirty slum with her. Hera began to cry.Hera's beautiful face disappeared, leaving a pa
The queen looked at the bracelet in the velvet box, whose color had faded, even though it was no longer the original color of the box. This bracelet was a gift from Benedict when they were lovers. Cassia loves Benedict very much, but she is greedy for something bigger than just being the wife of a hero and a pillar of the royal family known as the sword master.When she was appointed as a woman who would enter the palace as a concubine, like the first agreement between King Gustaf the first with her family, the queen could not wait for confirmation from Benedict, who was going to war, and the queen dowager only thinks realistically. So she took the opportunity as a concubine before ascending the throne to become queen.Her beautiful green eyes with blonde hair, typical of the Rodriguez noble family, and her white and slender hands looked gorgeous when she took the bracelet to take a closer look with longing feelings."Am I not that valuable in your eyes right now?" asked the queen int
None of the residents spoke while king Alaric spoke. Everyone listened."Thus, with this, I punish the sinners to death. And leaving one offspring to be sacrificed for the rest of her life, we need her blood to be shed once a week to eliminate the influence of black magic in the kingdom. With this, I punish you to death!!""LONG LIVE THE KINGDOM OF BRITAIN GUSTAF!! LONG LIVE ALARIC KING!!"Everyone shouted after king Alaric finished speaking. He returned to his seat right next to the queen dowager. But the calm Benedict rebelled violently when he heard that his daughter would not die but become the victim of torture, which was more terrible than death."CASSIA!!" Benedict shouted the name of the queen dowager, who turned slowly towards him, giving a triumphant smile."NO!! PLEASE, MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER, ARE NOT BLACK SWITCHES!! ALARIC, PLEASE BELIEVE IN ME!"Unfortunately, she did not hear Rania's screams among the screams of the residents who cursed her parents, and her grandparent
Alaric stepped hastily towards the dungeon, and he remembered that today was the day the civil guards began to give torture sentences to suspected traitors and descendants of black magic users. As the last descendant, Rania gets a life sentence for removing black magic as the royal fortune teller says the way to remove black magic is by giving the user's traitor blood.But, in recent years, there are often monsters that enter the kingdom due to black magic that attracts the smell and intuitive senses of the demons.He might hate Rania for daring to poison the queen's mother before, as well as the empress dowager this time, well as himself in front of so many people, but in fact, Alaric still harbors that love until this day. He couldn't bear to see the woman injured, and he should have let Rania die because of the torture wound. He always brought a healer to treat Rania for her injuries.Watching the civilians and stopping them from behaving excessively, even Alaric killed the civilia
"Did you hear that king Alaric just conquered a small kingdom in three days? It's crazy!! The king of Alaric now holds the big record, and he is known to be so cruel and ruthless that if you commit a mistake like corruption and raping women, the punishment will be meted out without a judge!" Rania turned towards the prison door when she heard it."Yeah, the kingdom is more prosperous. Even though the city's construction is no longer neglected, I can see the city's beauty is getting more and more charming. Even the embroidery house isn't as shabby as it used to be!" Laughter sounded at the end of the sentence of the civil guards outside."We all know King Alaric loves the current queen dowager as his surrogate mother. What a very filial son."The sound of their footsteps echoed because this was a cold dungeon. Before then, Rania heard other footsteps that sounded heavy but so familiar.JINGLING!The sound of the key made Rania cringe and run to the end of the room, and she crouched dow
Rania opened her eyes to find the man who tried to kill her now looking at her with a worried face. There was no blood there, no red eyes that wanted to devour her immediately. But Rania could still feel the real fear, so it was just a dream."It was just a bad dream. Go back to sleep..." said King Alaric hugging Rania's warm body back into his arms. "It's okay, and I'm here. No one will dare touch you."But Rania did not calm down, and she felt more and more as if a rope was wrapped around her neck, ready to hang her in seconds. She was threatening her life before she could avenge her parents.Rania's fears, feelings, thoughts, and hearts are often tense and uncertain with time. There was a time when Rania would feel frightened by sudden things like king Alaric who often came to touch her or sleep hugging her until dawn.Every time there was the sound of footsteps, she was frightened. Every time she closed her eyes, her mind wandered about a death better than this life. But Rania rem
King Alaric then fell silent, unable to answer. But his body was getting closer to hugging Rania's back, and a calming scent emerged from the body of the woman he had loved so far. Since realizing that even he couldn't turn his back on his childhood fiancé, King Alaric has grown more desperate and has caused big waves in the kingdom."I will release you from this prison, but on the condition that you will be my mistress!" said King Alaric, suddenly making Rania's body freeze.Rania did not answer, and the woman stared blankly at the wall in front of her. Her eyes were already giving any reaction, and she lost herself when the person who had given her a bad experience came to take the most meaningful thing she had and was snatched away by this devil-hearted man."Will free you from this place, Rania." King Alaric said, kissing the back of Rania's neck."On what basis did you let me out of this prison? After so many years, this place became my home!" replied Rania, finally opening her v
