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

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

“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
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King Chapter 78: A Dangerous Solution
“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
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King Chapter 79: Unexpected Proposal
Langrion began to reveal his painful thoughts to Shia. “It’s not the wedding that worries me... It’s you... What if the Ancient Evil sways you to come to his side, hmm? I will be the only one in the losing end here if that happens...” That’s right... Who was to say that Shia would not get tempted to come to the Ancient Evil’s side? Once she gets trapped with him, would she be able to resist him? They have been lovers since the olden times. The goddess that occupies Shia’s body has a long history with the Ancient Evil. Wouldn’t she be swayed if they come face to face with each other? She turned her face towards him. “How can he sway me? I don’t love him. If I can be swayed, then I should have joined him when we were at the ball or when he tried to take me away at Gaulane. However, that’s not possible. I’m not Freya... I’ve got no feelings for him.” She clutched the blanket that enveloped his lap tightly. “I understand your fears. They are my fears too, but mor
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King Chapter 80: The Familiar
After three days of staying awake at night with Gavil and attempting to infuse Pauca magic on the eggs as frequently as possible, Khailis had grown extremely fatigued. If she had known that marrying a magical shape-shifting beast and carrying his offspring could be this tiring, she wouldn’t have blown his marriage flute in the first place. Being around Gavil’s mother and the servants weren’t helpful at all too. They were so worried about the eggs that they wouldn’t pass any opportunity into pressuring them to make love. “How well are you doing at night, young one? I hope you are not neglecting your fatherly duties. You do know the babies need all the magic they can get, right?” Queen Argylla had asked again on the third morning. Of course, Khailis had the same reaction as that on the day when she had first heard her question; she turned so red that all she wanted was to disappear away from sight. How can a mother ask about her son’s nightly affairs like that?
The Bride of the Would-be Demon King Chapter 81: Reunion and Wedding Plans
After hearing Khailis’ sweet request and feeling her soft hands against his fur, Chibi could only happily comply. He let out two, energetic barks and started to float up in the air. “By the gods, Chibi, you didn’t tell me all this time that you can fly too!” Lady Khalis said in amusement, and again Chibi’s heart sank. If he only knew that his mistress liked the idea of flying, he would have taken her any day on his back to the ends of the earth. Gavil snorted. “Of course he can. Come, let’s follow him.” After making sure that his young wife had securely climbed up at his back, Gavil flapped his wings and rose into the air alongside Chibi. Shortly after, they landed at the inner court of the Temple of The Gods. “I can’t believe it! They’re here inside the temple!” Khailis hopped down from Gavil’s back excitedly and looked around. They descended inside a smaller, inner garden. It was very quiet that Khailis began to doubt that anyone was
