CHAPTER 70: Detained
Lady Edelfina woke up with the dreadful news.
“My lady, the king – he’s dead!” Talita exclaimed in one breath.
For a second, Edelfina’s body trembled in shock. That was such sudden news! However, it was only a mere second of thought. The next thing she had felt was utter delight.
“The king... is dead? Are you sure?” She couldn’t help but smile as she clasped Talita’s sleeve. The king is dead! That vile, stinking, rotting garbage of an old man is dead! What great joy!
“Yes, my lady. He was found dead in his study this morning. The Royal Inquisition is currently investigating the cause.”
“I see... I’m sure he died of natural causes, given the shock he received yesterday...” Edelfina stated.
Indeed, yesterday was also a joyful event. Edelfina had left the castle early on the day before to fret somewhere. She didn’t want to bump into that Andry girl in her wedding dress, and she wasn’t invited to her uncle’s wedding.
Not that she c

Is Danterion making a cruel joke? Did Edelfina hear him say his words correctly?... She did not have to ask him to repeat his sentence. He pulled her arms gently upwards and made her look at his face while saying in a low voice. “Come on, you’ve got to go... You’ve got to go right now...” “W-what?... Why?” She was afraid that the man with violet eyes would come and face her, but it was her Danterion – her lovely Danterion with his soft, ocean-blue eyes that held her up. “The Ancient One, I cannot stop him... He will send you to prison no matter what I do...” Danterion’s face was pained and anxious. She had never seen this side of him before. The Danterion she knew had always been cool and collected. Even when he would receive severe punishments from his deranged father in his youth, he didn’t show any emotions like this... But now, how come he looked so fearful? Suddenly, his words became clearer to her as he repeated them, shaking her
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King Chapter 72: Towards Jazamel
“Why does my back feel so cold?” Shia mumbled. Langrion dared not to speak. He simply put his cape around her back and rested his arms on her tightly, shielding her from the chilly morning wind. “Just put this on for the meantime. It’s still very early. You might catch a cold.” he quickly said. Thankfully, she wasn’t able to catch the guilty look in Langrion’s eyes. After helping her take a quick bath by the river, he offered to close the back of Shia’s dress for her, but to his surprise, he saw that almost all of the buttons of her dress had fallen away. He didn’t really know how, but maybe it had something to do with him the night prior. He couldn’t just bring himself to tell Shia that she was missing more than half of the buttons, especially at the lower parts of the dress. “It’s alright. I’ll get changed at the tent. We’ve prepared some clothes beforehand. It should already be at the tent,” Shia said, smiling back at him. The two of them c
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King CHAPTER 73: Aboard The Ship
As soon as she saw Hadrian Veer, Shia also saw the man with an ash-colored hair, holding a small blue flame in his hands. Soon enough, several men with twisted, possessed bodies started to surround them. In a heartbeat, they were immersed in an intense fight as Khailis, Langrion, Commander Rus and Ker began to draw their swords out, and the mage started to spurt frozen icicles from his palm. Someone started to shoot arrows in the midst of it. Many screamed and ran for their lives. It was, all in all, very chaotic. Just like Marmie and Gaf and the other cursed ones onboard, Shia couldn’t use her powers under the guiding stone’s effect. Her stomach twisted and turned into knots, and she couldn’t focus at her opponents. The ship was being violently tossed at sea, which didn’t help in maintaining everyone else’s balance as each one tried to stay alive. Perhaps more than the effects of the guiding stone, Shia really was sea sick! All she really wanted to do w
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King CHAPTER 74: Gavil's Flute
Khailis’ eyes fluttered open and the first thing she saw was fire. It was night time, but the fire burning before her was so huge, it might as well have been noontime. Weakly, she tried to climb the piece of wood that she had been clinging on to in an attempt to heave her freezing form out of the water. However, the plank was too thin, and thus, it cannot support her weight. She was almost thrown into the bottom of the sea as she struggled to get on it. After a few minutes of scampering, she gave up on her attempt and rested her weary head on it, just like she had initially done so. For how long she had been there, she didn’t know. It could have been for a couple of hours now or probably days. The last thing she remembered was being aboard a ship, but she was haphazardly thrown down at the sea as she lashed out on the incoming enemies when the ship tipped into one side. Khailis struggled to find a place to latch herself while fighting for her dear life at sea
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King CHAPTER 75: Carrying Eggs
After much prodding, Gavil started to put on some clothes to cover his body. It took a while for Gavil to look for her clothes though, and when he did, he gave her a completely different dress. “Sorry, I couldn’t find your clothes, my wife. I think I left it at my room...” “You mean this isn’t your room? Whose room is this then?” Khailis’ eyes went around the cave situated in the sea cliff. It was only made up of a single room, but it looked quite liveable and cozy. “This is my room too, my secret hiding place. I brought you first at the house, but my mother got mad, and she wouldn’t let me take care of you, so I brought you back here.” Did she really hear him right? Gavil’s mother was at this place too? “Are we?... Did you bring me back to your hometown?...” Gavil nodded. “And by hometown, where is it?...” “We’re here at the Carval Region in Teotroly.” Khailis held her breathe. Had he really taken her b

Khailis continued to sob. “Your sorry won’t be able to bring back anything, now, wouldn’t it? How can you give me back my first night?” “Your... first night?” Above everything else, what frustrated Khailis the most was not remembering what had happened during her first night with Gavil. She had been in love with Gavil for a long time, so accepting him as her husband was not a very big deal. Yes, their marriage had been so sudden, but she had always wished to be his wife ever since she had started loving him in the shadows. Thus, to lose the precious memory of her first night like that really infuriated her. “Yes, my first night! How can I get pregnant without even remembering what my first night was like? It’s so devastating! I’m going to be a mother soon, but I don’t even know how I spent my first night with you...” Gavil patted her back gently. “You don’t need to be sad about that, Khailis... We need to do what we did every night anyway since you ar
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King Chapter 77: First Night
“Let’s not make the babies go hungry, alright?...” Gavil said. Khailis felt her cheeks go so hot that steam might as well have come out from them. She gently shoved Gavil’s face away. “We... we just got here... and it’s morning time.” “I know, my wife... It will be a long wait until night time. What if the eggs get weaker by then?” “But -” Khailis didn’t get to finish what she was saying. Gavil’s mouth descended into hers, and he gave her a long but playful kiss. When he had finished, she gasped for air and her heart throbbed. She didn’t realize she had been holding her breath until he had released her. “I had missed you for a long time, Khailis. Did you miss me too?” She had already answered him back before she had thought of the implication of his words. “Yes, of course...” He kissed her on the lips once again, his tongue coming inside her parted mouth this time. Khailis was taken a back at first, but thinking that th

“We can’t do it,” Langrion said firmly. He had already made up his mind. He was not going to follow the route Mage Silas and Templar had talked about earlier. “But -” Shia said. “No buts, Shia. Did you not hear what the repercussions were? That method is dangerous,” he said back. Shia sat down beside Langrion and sighed. They went back to the room after staying at the garden of Templar’s villa. It was only a few minutes ago when they listened to the discussion of the method Mage Silas and the Fire God, Templar, had proposed, but their individual opinions about the matter have not changed. After a few moments of silence, Shia spoke again, taking Langrion’s hands into hers. “Langrey, compared to the risk involved, our gains would be bigger. You would be free from the curse and the prophecy. Don’t you even want that?” Of course there’s nothing in the world that Langrion could ever want than to be free from his curse, but not at the expense of Shi
