Kal’s PovSitting by his window with a book in his hand was the only thing he could do, while wishing that he was in Hurai’s room instead of being stuck in his.Talon had reported about the patrol around her quarters becoming even tighter than before, and about the vague rumors that had reached the king’s ears.He had no idea what the rumors were about since it wasn’t popular enough to be known to the general public but appeared to be something that had been whispered into the King’s ears on purpose.Kal sat there with a slight frown across his face, and the book he held open in his hand upside down, with him not giving it even a sliver of attention.He continued to sit by his window staring at the night sky that was void of any stars, while also thinking about how to figure out the weakness of the kingdom of Elfina.The moment he did, he would tell the king who would instantly tell the king of Lunera, and together they would then attack Elfina and defeat it.In the aftermath, while hi

Not only did he have someone on each of the princess’s sides but he also had a high-ranked Knight to do his bidding.“Things are actually going great…” he thought to himself staring up at the morning sky with a slightly lost expression on his face as he did so.He stood with his back firmly touching the wall of the alley, having blocked his sense of smell from taking in the putrid smell around him when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps run towards him.In a flash, Tefani turned his head to the side, mostly out of curiosity for the source of the sound, only to see someone appear directly in front of him, in the blink of an eye holding a long kitchen knife to his neck.Tefani had more of a grand look of surprise on his face rather than fear, something that the poorly dressed vampire with red eyes holding the knife to Tefani’s neck noticed which only served to anger him the more.“Your money or your life,” he sharply asked, pressing the knife harder into Tefani’s skin, with a broad sm

From her actions, she could tell that even Sheila, with how grumpy she usually was, was excited about the upcoming day, especially since it was the day Hurai would most likely recognize her wolf mate.“Okay…”Xena responded, hurrying after her, while adjusting her clothes to ensure that no part of them had been squished together when she decided to squeeze herself into a tight corner, one that would make it difficult for her to be found.Meanwhile, while the servants of both princess Fera and Hurai preparing for the wolf transformation ceremony that was coming up in a few days, others were also preparing for the day.“You want us to attack all three of them covertly at their wolf transformation ceremony? Do you think the king wouldn’t have prepared enough anti-magic to ensure that no witch or wizard would be able to appear and disappear at will?” Council Oreal asked while looking around the table trying to confirm that he wasn’t the only one that heard what Council Godavari had just sai

He already had his alibi prepared, which meant that what he needed was to arrive back at the scene of the crime when everyone began to make a fuss.The second Hurai sent Rena on her way back to her own quarters which was a small building beside Hurai’s own, where her maids lived, she fell on her bed with a huge sigh on her lips rubbing her forehead, with hopes that it would somewhat reduce the stress she felt.Yes, her wolf transformation day was near and she herself was excited and she could also feel the excitement of her maids, but she still couldn’t help but feel that they were doing too much.Every day, they gave her extra baths with new ingredients in them, ones rumored to be even better than the last even if she saw no particular difference or change in the radiance of her skin.Even today, she had watched Sheila pull Xena away to the market and the fact that they weren’t back yet showed that they were still sorting the things they brought back in their own quarters.“I’m tired.

Still, that didn’t at all stop Kal from going ahead to sneak into Hurai’s room like a breeze in the wind.Unlatching the closed window was easy, as he appeared inside the room faster than the knights around could spot him.Looking around the room he was slightly surprised to see Hurai face down on her bed, in a way that showed that she was fast asleep.Knowing her, Kal had been sure that she would at least be awake mourning her maid.Curious, he walked closer to the right side of the bed away from the window he came in through, where her body was turned to.The moment he got to her, he wasn’t particularly surprised to see her face drenched in tears with slightly puffy eyes that showed that she had cried herself to sleep.“Hey…” he whispered close to her ears, watching her continue to sleep regardless of his subtle way of trying to wake her up.“Hey…” he whispered again in a slightly louder tone, pushing softly against her shoulders when he die so.He couldn’t wait for her to wake up an
