★★★★ “Milady, O god, Milady. How do you hurt yourself again? Why does trouble always surround you?" Johanna muttered in a worried tone, tying Elsa's hair in a bun. Rihana prepared a hot tub for Elsa's bath. The broken wrist would take care of after the bath, as Elsa asked. The old man in the restroom had been summoned again the very next day after his last treatment. “Have my parents come?” Elsa questioned before stepping into the water. Rihana, on the other hand, didn't want her to wet her wounded leg, but Elsa stubbornly refused her, telling her that the old sawbones would check the wound again if needed he would do something. So, there was nothing for them to worry about. “Yes, they came to visit you. But ser Gramson informed them you are out with his Majesty. And they left without further inquiring. Milady, pardon me, please. I was wondering if you've quarreled with your parents. They seemed distant and suspicious of the way they left as if they wanted to talk with you only and
★★★ Later, when mealtime came, Rihana and Johana appeared with food while Elsa was sitting on a seat by the fire. Her broken wrist had been bandaged carefully by the sawbones as he prescribed a new drug to relieve the pain that Elsa no longer needed. Once the door opened, Elsa saw the food tray and her eyes quickly darted toward the door in search of someone. “Milady, you must be hungry,” Rihana uttered, placing the food on the small dining table in the corner where she and Gabriel had once enjoyed dinner together. “Where is His Majesty? Is he coming?” Asked Elsa, gazing back and forth between the door and her maidservants. “Ser Gramson told us His Grace has left the castle and ordered us to serve you food and be with you,” Johana answered, stepping back with a folded hand behind. They were told an hour ago when they were looking after the food that was made for the queen, as per the sawbones request. “Where did he go? He said nothing to me,” Elsa’s restless voice asked as she ha
★★★ “Milady... We-we,” Johana fumbled as her tongue stumbled hard to roll her words out. Her Lady's mischievous eyes made her nervous. Knowing that tonight they could not leave easily, she looked at Rihana, who had her head down. “Take your time. But I hope today you two will not disappoint me,” said Elsa with coated gentleness as she made sure her words had besieged them well. “I am a keeper. You can tell me without fear and hesitation,” professed Elsa as she looked down at her plate to eat as well as got her eyes off them. “We are white witches, milady,” Rihana responded with a sigh. They were not proud of it, and neither did they want to be. Elsa raised her eyes with no expression, but she never guessed that these two maidens were witches, nor did they ever show their magic. “Our parents once made a wrong move toward His Grace under the influence of black witches that cost their lives and we were children back then,” paused Johana, but the sadness was audible in her voice. Els
★★★“Hmm!” Elsa hummed sweetly and continued, “You two now leave and tell my parents I want to meet them in the morning tea.”“Yes, milady,” they spoke in unison. Picking the food tray, they bowed one last time before leaving the chamber.Elsa was tired and felt good after having a friendly conversation. Right now, she wanted to close her eyelids. Hence not hurting her soul anymore, she went straight to her bed and lay down.Another night in the palace where only darkness loomed, wearing a red cloth that is a symbol of blood.★★★“Bring the man here!” Gabriel sat back in the comfortable seat as he ordered Gramson. There were in a hut and was a familiar one. If Jennifer was here she could tell.On Gramson’s clap, a man had been dragged by his collar to His Majesty. When Reth left the collar, the man’s body fell to the ground with a whimper and blood was coming out of his mouth from the last two punches he had taken from Reth.“A human!! Let me hear his story,” said Gabriel, twi
★★★ Late at night, Carl and his minister talked about the incident that happened on their way to this state. It was difficult to ignore the werewolves in Reverie. “I wondered if they were my enemies or the way it happened clearly shows that they came for the Vampire King. What do you think, Ser Harlod?” Carl said in a thoughtful tone and turned to his minister, who was patient with the question. To him, they were not Carl’s enemies. “I once heard that the vampire king is a famous target for angels. That’s why I believe it’s not unusual for werewolves to target him. If I’m not wrong, I think these werewolves are not from our kingdom or how could they didn’t get you? No werewolves can stand against you, my prince,” the minister had his thought clear in front of Carl after recalling the incident that had happened when Carl was six years old. His eyes got amazed at how dominant Carl’s wolf was. “They were hybrids, Ser Harlod. And I noticed a thin black mark on his shoulder that looked
★★★ “Your aunt and uncle want to meet you. Are you free today?” Said Jasmine as she rubbed Elsa’s head lovingly. Her only child, her world she could die for. “I was thinking of asking them in the palace and having a delightful meal with them,” said Elsa in a cheerful mood before sipping the tea her maid had served some time ago. “Umm!! Your thoughts are wise and beautiful, child. But you know your aunt and uncle and their bitter desire toward the palace. I have doubts, though I love your idea,” stated Jasmine. She poured herself tea and stirred it with sugar. Her lowered eyes hid their intention. That was all for her daughter. Jasmine knew Elsa’s heart had been swayed by the vampire to that point when their conversation would turn into an argument if they started. She probably misled her daughter, but she had to do so for her daughter’s well-being and future. “Then I will visit them,” said Elsa casually, feeling no uncertainty from her mother. In particular, how comfortable she wa
★★★ Taking Jasmine, Robert, and Elsa, along with their maids, the carriage started heading toward the village. Johana reported to Reth about their going out who escorted them with men. He apologized to Elsa that he could not accompany them and ordered some men with their horses to follow Elsa’s carriage. “Are you two human?” Jasmine spoke suddenly and her question was also bizarre. No one would ask such a straightforward question to someone's face, and it made Elsa embarrassed. “Yes, Milady. We are human,” Rihana said with a smile, showing no irritation at all because she knew that Elsa’s mother was very protective of her daughter and she should be. “Don't mind my words. I am concerned because it is very difficult to find humans in the palace. You know what I mean,” Jasmine said and her tone became friendly as if she got relaxed knowing the maids beside her daughter were humans. Nothing couldn't be great about hearing this piece of thing. “Mother, could you please stop?” Elsa talk
★★★ “Who says you are not our family, Verada? We accept you as our family and that is it. You have the right to be happy for my daughter.” Jasmine barged in when Elsa was about to speak and showered Verada with ample honor. This did not make any difference to her, but she was not able to open herself so much like her mother whom she barely knew. “Mother is right, lady Verada. By the way, how did you meet my family? I’d love to know about your interaction with my family because they are pretty conservative about unknowns,” said Elsa in a drab tone, having her smile around her lips while eyes were on Verada who had taken her place on a nearby seat. She didn’t feel good about the way Verada acted and the patience she revealed as if she was the head of their family. “Best day of my life meeting your parents. Such beautiful souls. I have no enduring place, roaming and living in different places what I’ve done in all my life. Then I helped your parents,” Verada was speaking when Jasmine’s
