The queen’s men together with his men are clinging for their lives in the splitting ground. Under them Ragnar can see molten lava flowing calm and steadily. "My queen... help... ahh.ahhhhh." One of the queen’s men shouted. The earth he was holding on gave in and he fell and sank on the molten lava. "Ahh... help me..." The man’s screams seized after the lava swallowed him. "Queen Fiona, are you crazy?!" I looked at her standing at the edge above them. "Your men are falling to their deaths." "They are doing a big sacrifice to ensure your death King Ragnar." The queen smirked. "So just die!"Ragnar saw that this queen is so vicious, even to her own people. He has earth attribute magic but not that powerful. He tried to use it to make protrusions on the sides for the men to cling and climb on. "If you want to live then climb with all your might!" Ragnar yelled.Ragnar’s men did as they were told to, while the queen’s men were at a loss first. "Dammit! I don’t want to die like this!"

[Isabella’s POV]We have just come back from our visit in Duke Monroe’s’ estate. The sun was just setting in the horizon when we got off our carriage. "Big sis, I will be retiring for the night." Elsa curtsied and walked away after we have come inside the palace. "The little princess has to carry a huge burden on her small back." Bob murmured to me while looking at the departing Elsa. "I admire her strength." I said while also looking at Elsa departing. "When I was her age, I was still a coward and didn’t know what to do." I sighed remembering my past. "But you have grown into a strong and independent woman now." Philips who was by my side said to me. "It is thanks to all of you and all my friends that I became strong." I smiled at him. "I will be going to my mother’s quarters. Bob, please inform the kitchen that I will be eating my dinner there with my mother." "Of course your highness." Bob bowed and left to do as I have ordered him. "After escorting me to my mother’s room, y

"What?!" I abruptly stood up from my chair. "That isn’t possible!" I shouted in frustration. "That is my decision and you cannot do anything about." Darius said with a confident smile. "In two weeks time, you would be my bride and wife."I gripped my hands into fists hard. Darius’ plan was so ridiculous that it was crazy. "Take your seat for now Isabella ." Darius shot me a glare and I couldn’t do anything but to obey. I took my seat with a heavy heart. I decided to stay silent and obedient for now. In two weeks times I won’t be here and so this marriage won’t come through. It is best to not ignite my cousin’s bad mood. It will not benefit us if Darius threw a fit now and make the marriage arrangements earlier than two weeks. "B-But brother, you have promised the king of Wales to marry his other daughter right?" Elsa said with caution. "And I have married her, isn’t that right Camila." Darius threw a smile on Camila’s way. She looked perplexed when the topic now came to her. "S

I was riding a carriage with Elsa and Camila to town. Looking outside, we have more knights guarding us as usual. These were the knights Prince Darius had ordered to guard and assist us on our trip to town.From the beginning of the trip, the inside of the carriage was silent. Being in an enclosed space with both Elsa and I was normal. But now we have Camila with us that made the atmosphere inside a little bit suffocating and awkward. "This will be the first time big sis Isabella and Camila will visit the town where the famous garment and jewelry shops are in the country." Elsa broke the silence midway of our trip. I smiled knowing that Elsa’s personality isn’t very used to being silent. "Yes, it is my first time." I smiled at Elsa. "I heard that the jewels in Geneva are more dazzling and exquisite, compared to the other countries."As I have known in my history lessons, Geneva is rich with minerals and valuable stones used for jewelry. It is because the mountain ranges of Geneva ar

I followed the staircase down. It was not that far when I reached the end of the staircase and saw a door. I knocked on the door with respect. *knock knock knock*"Please come in." The voice of Duke Monroe was heard inside. I opened the door and saw a small room lighted up by a lamp. At the center of the room, were table and three chairs. Duke Monroe was seating on one when I saw him and on the other chair was Katherine, Duke Monroe’s daughter."Greetings your highness." Duke Monroe and Katherine said in unison as they stood up and bowed upon seeing me."Greetings to you too Duke Monroe." I curtsied in return."Please take a seat." Duke Monroe offered me one of the chairs and I took a seat. "I am sorry that we have to meet like this princess. With the crown prince return, he has his eyes glued on you and meeting you with many eyes watching would be difficult.""Yes, I understand duke." I said. "Then what would you like to tell me?" I asked curiously."The preparations of your escape
