DAHLIA :
Taboo…
I expected him to reject me like that. To save my face, I had to act like a villainess. Hiding my face… Turning my gaze to expressionless… Making my body do things I never imagined I could do… But for that short moment, I was an actor. I was a villainess who wanted the Duke’s fortune, who wanted to torture him for nothing. Because I was like that, he was the hero everyone loved and cherished in secret. He would find a redcursed child and tell him he would protect him and he would be cool. Every hero had a villain and I was playing that in that moment. For a short time, I was that villain.
I wondered if he never existed, who would stand at the front saving the ones that needed it. If it were me, I would have run away like any other day and cling to anyone who might be a hero for a short time to save my ass.
He was a hero, it was obvious. He fought, saved people even by small b

DAHLIA:I observed another thing in the woman holding the two swords; her blindfolded eyes meant she was closed over herself, she didn’t see above her own perspectives. I decided I would buy a tarot deck. I found it so attractive and interesting. This way I would learn more about the arcana.I stashed the book under my dress and rushed to my room; it wasn’t something I would show just to anyone, it wasn’t hidden for nothing. I was shocked about how time passed quickly and night already established its shadows. It was already time for sleep but I didn’t feel the need to go to bed early. Yet, I still changed my clothes to my nightgown and read the book under the blanket, using a light spell. Soon enough, I blinked and roamed to the dream world.I had a dream, a weird one I couldn’t forget no matter how hard I tried. Was it a vision of the past? Or something I wasn’t meant to see? I was in an empty land the

DAHLIA:To summarize, the maid dragged me to the dining room and made me sit forcefully. Nevertheless, instead of sitting with them as every day, they made me sit on the ground while their eyes gauged me strangely. The most surprising thing was Veronica’s behaviour; she approached rubbing her chin, thinking.“Hmm…” she strolled around me and her pale blue eyes sent a shiver down my spine. My instinct told me to find a way to run away. I swept the whole room searching for the nearest window but everything was guarded, not a single opening. I swallowed. What would happen to me now? “This toy’s gaze is rather rebellious, papa. How about I educate her properly?”I glared at her menacingly. What kind of things was she saying? “What are you saying, sister? Do I look like a toy?” my maid grabbed my hair and pushed my head to make me kneel further. I didn’t understand a single thing and

NELDRISDYD:Alright, what should I do in my last days?At least, I learnt something worth remembering before my death; I couldn’t let her get too close to me. It pained me to push her but I wasn’t worth crying for. I hoped after my death, my whole wealth would go to her as my mate I solemnly chose and marked. I accepted it; she already made her way to my inner world. Especially after Omniel came to my room and told me to marry her since she was making her best to access the library. Being a villain didn’t suit her and she didn’t act so well. Her eyes were so expressive and her body didn’t follow the ways of a villainess perfectly. Anyone would understand she was nervous. I doubt Omniel had already missed that.He wanted to force me to marry Veronica but she couldn’t make me feel something. However, Dahlia did. I would definitely see her again but we would be enemies. She tried so hard to fit inside her f

NELDRISYD:“Wait a minute… You already know all that. I bet you know everything about the Jamaerah. Who told you about it? And since when you have been deceiving all of us. You wanted to cut her off to keep her from finding out about your plan. What is it, master? I already swore to follow you,” he bent down on one knee respective of the norm between a master and a servant.How did he find out? He was too clever; I felt glad he was my servant. “What do you think I am planning?” I lounged back on my chair behind my desk and eyed him, interested.He raised his chin, this time his gaze showing so much admiration. It was true; I forced my mind to keep everything away until the right time. Victor warned me several times about the risks and limits, that there are people between the Jamaerah who could see through thoughts like a glass of water. However, she was someone I never expected to exist and disturb what I pl

DAHLIA:I didn’t want to see it. I didn’t want to hear it.Nothing was worth keeping me for in this world; I was better off dying. The Duke rejected me and no matter how many taboos I put in front of me, they all end up chattering in front of what I experienced. I didn’t want to believe everything started with them. The Jamaerah knew of my existence since I put foot inside Dotoria and they manipulated my fate until recently. Wasn’t it in vain to struggle? Would it be better to put down the flame with my own hands?What was I? Who was I?Why did they give birth to me when I had no choice in choosing my destiny? I hated this life. The mad scientist had a similar face as Erasmus and they called him Erasmus number two. After welcoming me inside again, I didn’t remember being inside his laboratory; I only remembered being somewhere else where he examined me. That was right! He examined me, only that, then wh

NELDRISDYD:I have been walking for a while inside this darkness; it was my first time coming to this kind of dream. Since meeting Dahlia, she gave me the vibes of someone I used to know; someone who died sacrificing herself for me to continue living. However, her sacrifice only made me lose sight of life and made me desire death like no one ever did. I wanted to reunite with her in the afterlife but meeting Dahlia made my plans go to an unexpected path; I wanted to keep living. But I was cursed and with a limited time.Unexpectedly, this dimension wasn’t bad; I felt like something pulled me in and I found myself between the shadows walking. It must have been something she passed to me too. Did she ever come here? It didn’t seem like it; she never spoke about something like this. The shadows had humanoid figures but instead of a shadow, there was a glimpse of the other side; the world I belonged to. It was already strange and weird. I

NELDRIDYD:My mark itched; I felt like half of it faded. Indeed, it was the case; half of my dragon mark had faded only leaving the other half. Did it mean she completely disappeared? No, I didn’t think so. I didn’t want to believe it. What was she fighting all this time?For someone who struggled so hard, I didn’t think she would give up this easily; I was certain she would find her way back. Such a shame I didn’t get from her where she was. However, it wasn’t a hard thing to guess; there was a huge laboratory under the Palace. For most Dotoria’s citizens, it was hard to believe such a huge space existed beneath them. Yet, it was there seemingly from the beginning of Dotoria. I was there in the past. The late Duke of Mizenth, my father, gave me up to the mad scientist for a year when I was six to conduct experiments on me. He wanted the dragon part on my body to disappear but it didn’t work. The ma

NELDRISDYD:“Isn’t humanity doomed if you don’t unite? Dotoria is like a safe zone for humans who suffered outside of it…”“Don’t spout nonsense. Dotoria isn’t a dreamland. It’s hell for everyone and for better, it’s better to sacrifice the rotten minds to make a better place. Now, you who pulled me in this dimension, push me outside. I need to complete my mission.”“I didn’t pull you inside; it was Victoria. Even if I could do it, I wouldn’t. You are nothing to me to help you out. You can always wait for dawn to forcefully move back to your body. Such a shame! She pulled you here to make the last resistance she had fade. Do you know that, little Duke? You were the last piece that made her cling to this part of the world and after seeing you, she completely gave up. Doesn’t this make you have a little tenderness towards her?”“Deci
