Chapter 32: The Hova Disease
This time, Prince Marcellus's hands were bound by chains. He took slow steps towards the table. The closer he got, the more the people at the table stirred. One man even pushed his chair away and stood up.
“This means…”
“He’s Davorin’s heir!”
“Why is he still alive?!”
“Send back his head!”
“Silence!” said the Queen.
Prince Marcellus just looked bored, as if this were all beneath him and a waste of time. In fact, Scarlett thought the same thing. What was the need for so much protocol and dining? It would have been easier if they had all just sat down to talk. There were much more pressing matters than having to entertain these old men.
“Queen Edda,” Prince Marcellus said all of a sudden, slightly bowing his head.
“Explain to my council why you’re here,” said the Queen.
“King Davorin has been sending troops to this side of the wall for some time. They move around, so it’s hard for them to be spotted. The at

More than the fact that she was being used for food, what bothered Mimbi the most was doing nothing all day long. She was happy she was mostly ignored. Ever since she had been claimed as Lord Galax’s ‘vessel’, no one really paid attention to her. But there wasn’t really much to do in the Hova camp besides walking around like a lost dog. The soldiers did all the cooking, cleaning, and washing, and even stopped Mimbi from washing her own clothes when she had tried to do so. It was all quite strange. They didn’t allow her too close to the girls, but if they didn’t see her approaching the area directly, they didn’t notice her once she was among them. She’d sneak in and then sneak out. The Hova had moved the other captives from the cages into a well-guarded area, where they had also been given tents and an area to wash. By now, most of them had the wounds of where they had been fed off. Luckily, the little ones had been spared. A

No one had warned Scarlett that getting out of the dress would be even harder than getting into it.She tried to unlace the straps holding it onto her body, but whenever she twisted her left shoulder, a pang of pain made it impossible to do anything but pull. After a few minutes, she was sure that she had tangled the straps on her back.Hoping that Voty might still be up, she left the room, trying not to make noise. Thankfully, there was no one in the corridor. As she passed Pakuri’s room, she was extra careful not to walk into a statue in front of it. When she arrived at Voty’s room, she knocked on the door, but no one answered. She opened it slightly and peeked inside.Voty was at the foot of the bed, crying. She lifted her head up towards Scarlett, wiping the tears that had dampened her cheeks.“What’s wrong?” Scarlett said, walking into the room and closing the door behind her. She meant to sit on the bed but she tripped

“What are you doing here?” Luca growled. Scarlet froze in her place. She realized how bad this looked. Her dress was loose as if she had just put it back on or been in the process of removing it. And Prince Marcellus didn’t look too good himself, with his hair all messed up. But it had been that way before he arrived… not because they had interacted physically in any way. “I just came to give Miss Scarlett some information. I’ll be going back to my room. Don’t bother with the chains,” Prince Marcellus said, holding his hand up as if it were beneath him to listen to Luca. Then he walked away, leaving Scarlett to face Luca, who looked at her as if he wanted to kill her. “Information?” he said, raising his eyebrows. “It’s a long story,” said Scarlett, sighing. “I am all ears.” “It’s... something I can’t share with anyone, just yet.” “And you expect me to believe that all you were doing with that monster was talking?

“What… what does that mean?” Scarlett said, sitting down on the bed. Of all the things that could have happened to her, this one was the one she least expected. “Just that it’s in your blood. I don’t know what… triggers it, so to speak. I don’t know anything at all, actually. I only tasted it once, a long time ago. On someone who later died because of an unnamed disease. And it doesn’t smell like sickness to us. Remember I told you I can smell diseases on humans? To me, you smell normal. So it has to be that…” “So you’re not technically sure, then? Are you?” “I’m pretty sure,” said Prince Marcellus matter of factly. “I’m not going to tell anyone… if that’s what you’re worried about.” Scarlett held her head between her hands, massaging her temples. “You just told me I may have an incurable disease that may or may not kill me someday. Do you really think it matters if anyone knows?” “It does if they think you’re part Hova. They’re convin

The Legend of Fireheart Chapter 38: The Witches
Scarlett blocked Humbert’s attack by crossing her two swords into an X. It was so strong, that the collision between the metals sent sparks flying. She kicked him in the stomach, making him lose his footing, and sent him staggering backward. Humbert smiled, revealing his missing front tooth, and then began to circle Scarlett, who followed his movements closely. He charged again, but this time, sent his sword to Scarlett’s side. She ducked just in time, to the screams of the other soldiers. “Hey, Humbert! It’s just a spar, take it easy!” a soldier cried out, louder than the others. But Humbert didn’t seem to have any plans of doing so. He continued to attack Scarlett, swinging his sword left, right, and even managing to scratch Scarlett’s thumb. The wound was tiny, but a small piece of her skin had been cut off, and it bled down her hand. Scarlett had never fought someone as big as him. But his size also made him slow, and he was gettin
The Legend of Fireheart Chapter 39: Much To Learn
Scarlett took a detour before heading back to her room, hoping to find Pakuri and Voty, but they were nowhere to be seen. The few servants she saw practically skittered around her as they struggled to not stare whenever they crossed paths in the winding castle corridors. From the outside, it didn't look as big as it was on the inside. She hadn't even been to the highest floor yet. Not wanting to get lost, she followed the same path she had taken and arrived at her roo to find Gerta standing next to the door. “Miss, what happened to you?” she said, looking at Scarlett up and down. She hadn't even noticed that her arms and legs were full of scratches. Her clothes, which hadn’t looked too good in the first place, were torn in several places where Humbert’s sword had nicked her. “I was practicing,” she said, patting the swords on her hip. “Ah, well… Queen Edda asked to see you. I’d ask you to go change, but I fear that wi
The Legend of Fireheart Chapter 40: Attack
When Scarlett left the room, she realized that Gerta hadn’t asked her to leave her swords behind when she went to talk to the Queen. Did that mean that the Queen trusted her enough to have her around her with weapons? Even if she sounded like a cold, calculating woman… Scarlett decided she liked her. Perhaps it was true, and there was a bit of herself in that woman. A door abruptly opened in the hallway, startling her. “Where is she?” Luca burst in, fully uniformed with the Golden Company’s armor, looking terrified. “Who?” "The Queen." "Her room. I just left," Scarlett said, pointing towards the door. "What is going on?" “Go to your room and lock yourself there,” Luca commanded, walking past Scarlett. “What is going on?” she repeated, as she watched Luca run towards the other door. She was very confused. “There are Hova in the castle." With that, he went into the Queen's room.
