“Because she’s special to me. She is my fiancée.”“Fiancée? “Your marriage is already cancelled. The Emperor already agreed on it.”“He never sent out a decree, which makes Ruby legally my fiancée.” “If you ask me, she's rather dumb. She’s finally got a chance to be with you, after all these years of pursuing you. But she went ahead and annulled your engagement.” “She wouldn’t have done that if you didn’t create such a horrible scene.”“My planned work perfectly. She fell right into my plan and took my bait of battling with me on the life and death stage. If she lost, I would have just humiliated her and let her have a quick death on that stage. If only she taken the hit of my numbing needles.""You were planning to cheat the whole entire time.""You're right. I did. But little did I know that my plan would backfire, as she countered my attack. I didn’t expect to lose all my powers.""Karma had its way with you." Samantha clenched her fists tightly. "Even if I lost my powers, I wa
Seeing that Ruby had walked away with anger, Samantha followed Ruby out of the palace. She must continue to put flames in their relationship. She must continue to poison Ruby's mind. She have to make sure that Ruby stays hating him. She worked too hard to get where she is at, and she is not going to let go of Eric now. “Oh, by the way, dearest Ruby,” said Samantha stopping her from before she gets on her carriage. “Have you heard that Eric have found a great magician to help me return my spiritual powers?” Ruby's eyes widened with disbelief. He was trying to help his beloved woman get back her powers. He probably thought she was dying, so he was looking to replace her with Samantha. It all makes sense now. "Okay," said Ruby. Samantha smirked and said, “How lovely of him to do such a thing. I didn't ask, but of course, he couldn't bear to see me, his childhood sweetheart render trash. So, he did it for me. But of course, you of all people should know that he would do anything for
As the sun set in the horizon, Ruby summoned her phoenix’s spiritual power. Out came a raging phoenix bird. The phoenix came out screeching. It’s wings spread far and wide across the Forbidden Mountain’s top.Eric was shocked. His eyes widened with surprise. “She has the Phoenix’s power! She has the Phoenix's power this whole time." The phoenix was magnificent. It looks as powerful as they all say. Eric can feel it’s power vibrating through him.His breathing labored as he couldn’t subdue his surprises. As he looked at her standing before the phoenix, questions were running through his mind. One of the question kept popping up to him “How could she have the phoenix’s power?"Suddenly a memory popped into his head. He recalls an incident when they were kids. Samantha said that they were the origin of the phoenix. However, Ruby objected and said that Duke Henry Wild stole the power from her grandfather."How could my grandfather do such a shameful thing?" asked Samantha."Instead of be
In the morning Ruby worked on refining the pill, so she was busy throughout the day. In the evening was when Ruby emerged from her cottage home. For the first week, each night she would play a different set of instruments. She looked beautiful as she played the instruments weaving through the night.The second week, she sings a different song every night. Her voice was enchanting as ever.The third week she took out her tools and started to build things. Some of them have no knowledge of what is it. Eric finds it fascinating as to how knowledgeable she is at wielding the hammer. He never thought that his woman would be smart to come up with ideas to overcome the obstacles in the mountain life. She was able to connect the well to her home for water system. Ruby also have her own water irrigation to her garden. The end of the month came along, and she painted. A new painting, she painted each night. The next one is more intriguing than the last.Next following week, the fifth week, s
Panting he teleported from the red wood tree that he had been staying for the past two months. Back in their room, he stripped off his clothes and jumped into the cold shower. Her image wouldn’t leave his mind. He stayed hard for the next hour. The next following morning Ruby came out of her house, looking refreshed. She went to her peach blossom tree. Staring at the tree she didn't notice anything different. It seems nothing happened overnight. She frowned. After a while, she thought it might take some more time since her Grandmother Willow had been gone for more than a year and a half now. Eric cleared his throat behind her. Ruby gasped in startle as he sneaked up on her. Eric stood tall and handsome in front of her. His brown hair was combed back, and his amber eyes looked longing at her. She frowned at his expression. “How-How did you did you get in here?”“Because my powers are stronger than yours,” said Eric smiling at her. Ruby's frown deepened. She was sure she put up a
...He sighed heavily as he found that winning her back was not as easy as he thought. However, he was not going to stop. He was determined to make her his completely. Her heart, body, and soul. Everything must belong to him. For he loves her too much. More than his own life. The next following evening, Eric came as he said. He sat down at the table next to the peach blossom tree. He looked serious as he was working on his pile of documents. Ruby stared at him in confusion as he was serious about what he said. For the next few minutes, she just stood there looking at him as he focused on his work. Eric not lifting up his head said, “Come, help me sort out my paperwork." He pointed to his pile of work. “What?” question Ruby tilting her head to him. "Come. Sit next to me. Help me sort out this mess." "Why?" “You don’t want to?” asked Eric as looked up at her. His amber eyes shining brightly at her. “What kind of game is he playing at?” she wonders. "Sit. I won't bite." He pat
"Ruby..." whispered Eric. Ruby, startled by her behavior, bit her lower lip and pulled away from him. She picked up the empty plates and went inside the house. The next evening Ruby sat next to him knitting as she tried not to disturb him.“You know how to knit too?” asked Eric.“A little,” said Ruby.“What are you making?”“A sweater.”“Oh, well you make me one?”“No.”“Why not?”“Because you got someone else to do that for you.”“I know. That's why I asked. So, you need to do it.”Ruby stared at him with disbelief.“Yeah?” said Eric raising his eyebrows at her."What?""You look beautiful. Well, you always do, but today you look extra pretty." Ruby for some reason blushed at his words. Embarrassed she went back to knitting. "I shall take my leave. I will be back tomorrow." Ruby nodded. Eric, who was still busy, brought in more paperwork for the next evening. He ushered Ruby to sit next to him. Ruby sat next to him working on some drawing. Eric, who noticed that Ruby was focu
Eric looked up at Ruby as he was happy to hear that she was expecting his arrival tonight. She’s gotten used to his presence, and he is ready to make the next move. Eric was putting away the chess pieces when both of their hands touched each other. Ruby, startled by their touch withdrew her hand. However, Eric didn’t let her withdraw. He drew her hand close to him and kissed her fingertips.Ruby felt shivers sending down to her core. As he gently bit her fingers, she almost let out a moan of excitement. Ashamed of herself she pulled her fingers away. “You-You should leave. It's not appropriate for you to stay-""Ruby," Eric pulled her into his embrace and took her lips. "Mmmph."Their kiss was sweet and gentle. After they were done, Ruby's face was flushed. "Good night, Prince Eric." Ruby put her hands around her cheeks and ran. Eric nodded as he realized she was trying to hide her emotions. She was still aroused by him. That can only mean one thing, she loves him. He smiled as he
