The entire palace was put into gloominess and less activeness, over the king's sickness that had finally gotten him bed ridden. There had been so many elders and officials visiting the palace more often, in an attempt to get to the root of what had caused the king's sudden sickness. The royal physician and every other skilled ones that had been invited, were unable to diagnose the cause of his sickness talk less of even finding a solution. As a result of that, the wedding plans had been put to a halt stubbornly to the anger of the queen. The palace elders had refused to agree with her point that the wedding could go on, without having the father of the groom who was also the king, be present for his son's marriage. Hendrix who had watched the situation of things in his home and the fact that no one was talking about getting married, got him so glad that he danced around in his room after he was sure that no one was watching. The marriage plans between his mother and the queen for
"No one should leave their houses as from today, until after the final crowning and coronation of the new Alpha king is over.""Anyone found outside their houses for any reason whatever will be give the ultimate judgement of decapitation, or be thrown in a dungeon and locked up till such person is weak and sore in bones. Permissions would be taken from guards that are around the city walls now, if there is a dire importance of something that needed to be done urgently.""From today henceforth, everyone should prepare themselves towards annual tax paying in this kingdom. The palace shall no longer personally house your unnecessary needs and demands, as all will be done from each and every household pocket.""Lastly, from today henceforth, the new appointed king is now Alpha Elliott who is the first prince of the kingdom. Any objections towards him and his sovereignty, will be counted as treason and such person or groups who commits such will be exiled to death!" The walls of the c
"And where do you say you are from?" The giddy old man they were sitting before asked them, which made them both turn simultaneously to face one another. 'Could they really tell him the truth without he chasing them back to where they had come from?' The entire kingdom had been on a tight and intense ruling for more than eight days, since Etheldreda put her son Elliott as a puppet on the throne. Arturo stood by her as her right hand man while publicly working his magic, without anyone having a say to whatever was going on. Instead, they used it for there own advantage for people to succumb to them finally. The first thing Arturo started to tackle was life threatening sickness of the people, in which he used dark magic to help support and extend their lives. Anyone who had lost hope of one of their families that would soon die, would swear their optimum loyalty to them if the sick person was healed finally. Through that process, the darkness began to transfer from family to f
"Why do you say that, wise one? That the queen cannot be easily destroyed? How is that possible?! It is not like she is immortal," Azalea yelled many words at the same time, in surprise at what the old one was saying. It was really surprising to hear such words from the man, that she had put all her high hopes and bet her all upon. Travelling through air together with Ayden was a more difficult task for her than she ever expected, as she got exhausted easily and fainted a few times in a day to poor Ayden's fear. The happiness that they had gotten to the mountain that the seer lived around in seven days was huge, but climbing up the mountain was the worst ever. They totally spent two days and a night climbing it. Meeting Armani at Azalea's old home was an unexpected one that had caught her off guard, when she saw that the pregnant beta had repaired every wreck that was made in the hut. She explained to Azalea that leaving the city was harder than thought, and she could never re
He had sobbed in fear every night that Ayden would never be safe anymore in the palace, and that something had probably happened to him without anyone's knowledge. It was so frustrating to the guts because no one could freely leave their homes without a permit, and even going to the palace to confirm if all was okay was not an option. He knew things could never be. The queen so much hated Ayden since his birth, so there was no way she would spare him after gaining tremendous power over everyone. Hendrix was so handicapped to actions and clueless to information. No one was telling him anything, since they didn't know either. For Azalea, he feared greatly too. Though he knew that she was strong and possessed the power and ability to fight with what he had seen, fighting against the queen for Ayden's survival was a ground to never be shaken. The guards would probably get rid of her even before she got to the queen bee herself. She was gusty and daring too. And he hoped she would
They both made their way down the slope along the part they were walking through, as they ran through the open canopy trees of the forest. Ayden was able to move fast at a great speed, because of his wolf ability that seemed to have activated real good at that point. That helped some of the soldiers sense that there were really people in the bushes. "I think they are racing in their wolf forms, Ayden. We need to run faster," Azalea informed again, as she tried using her powers to cause a tornado to the direction of where they were coming viciously coming from. The swirling and rotating funnel-shaped violent wind just appeared from nowhere with great force, as it moved so fast towards the direction that she wanted it to go. The soldiers that were coming in the opposite side of the vicious wind, continued to run faster in the pursuit of the main targets the had sensed strongly. Azalea started getting weak and tired to keep up with the metres they were running by minute, because
A haughty smile split his face to see her acting in such an awkward manner, as his lips suddenly leaned closer to her pretty looking face. Her widened eyes instantly went shut like a shocked fish, as she expected that his lips would touch on hers and do what she had insinuated. Instead, his lips pressed softly against her forehead and moved slowly to give her cheek a kiss before stopping. Azalea who was expecting more still remained in that manner of her eyes shut tight, and then suddenly opened her eyes when she figured out he was going any further. Now, she just wished she would enter the floor and cover herself in sand. "Your imaginations seem to be running wide, princess," he gave her a signature smile, as his mellifluous voice sounded so compelling and taunting at the same time. 'Just when did he become this delicious to eyesight?'"I... I," she stuttered. Her brain and eyes were betraying her. Her thoughts that were organized and pondering on the next step to do, had beco
"Go and take any clothes that would suit you well from my wardrobe, and remain here till I come back. Do not open the door to anyone even if they knock!" She instructed, and hurriedly put on the clothes the girl was wearing initially, ignoring whatever sweat and dirt that might have gotten on it. The royal family which now consisted of Etheldreda, Arturo, and Elliott would be at the royal dining having dinner at that time. It was around that time too that the soldiers changed shifts and received dinner, so things would definitely be rowdy around without much attention paid to everyone passing by. But still, she had to make sure not to get caught, because she had no idea what her mother would do to her for disobeying the rules. With tension and some sought of contrition in her heart, she hoped so much in her heart never to run into anyone who would figure her out, even with her changed appearance. Edla stepped out of the room with the empty tray of food plates that the maid had
