Ragnar swung his sword downwards towards me, I quickly rolled to my side to evade his attack. I saw the dent that the sword made to the ground, it was a powerful blow and I looked at it in disbelief. ’My husband would never do this. He would never hurt me.’ I said to myself on and on like a mantra. ’He is just under the control of the siren queen, he is not himself.’ Ragnar pulled the sword he was holding from the ground and walked slowly towards me. He was still coming towards me with killing intent. "How does it feel that the man you love is trying to kill you?" Tabitha said with a devious smiled on her face. "I felt that way the time that b*stard discarded me. After banishing my race, the humans started to hunt our kind. We did not have any choice but to hide. Those humans who were once our food and prey gained abilities and hunted us one by one. How ironic, that the hunters were now the hunted."I can feel the pain and regret the siren queen has, her words have a mix of sadness

The fish witch looked down her body in disbelief. My sword was now piercing her body once more. "B-But how..." The fish witch did not believe that she was defeated.It is true that her defense was strong. I had a hard time giving her deathly blows, with that hair covered all over her body like protective armor. That was when I realized I have to concentrate all my magic in once place. I opted to put all of the intensity of my fire magic into the sword I was holding. The fire magic was so compacted that the color turned into a light bluish color.Like I have predicted, the sword where I put my concentrated fire magic, pierced the fish witch’s defense. My sword has now impaled her body in the torso. "When in a fight, a human can grow more stronger." I said. "You have been very careless when you thought you had the upper hand just now. That became your downfall." "I... see." The fish witch’s hair armor came undone and her naked body was left in the open. I pulled out my sword from th

I open my eyes and saw that I was lying under the shade of trees. I look around and saw Ragnar by my side. Maggie and Phil were also there with me. Worry were etched on their faces. "What happened?" I asked. I was still a little disoriented. The last thing I remember was talking with everyone merrily. And all of a sudden, I felt dizzy and everything turn black afterwards. "Did I faint?" I asked Ragnar. "How long was I out?" "It was only a few moments." His face looked graved, as if all color were drained from his face. "What is wrong?" I asked curiously. "Please tell me."Ragnar had tighten his lips even more and so I looked at Philip for answers. "The medic within our group looked at your vitals." Philips answered. "It looks like you are poisoned your majesty. And it seems to be a poison he does not have any knowledge of. For now, he has given you an antidote that can slow the poisons effects, but it cannot detoxify the poison completely."So that is why Ragnar has such a look

I quickly stood up to meet my husband, eager to see his face. It was a little curious because I have been feeling at ease just by looking at him. ’Is it because of the pregnancy?’ I thought to myself.I have never been that clingy with Ragnar before, but now I always like to be by his side and looking at his handsome face. "Be careful your majesty." Philips said while helping me up from my seat. "Please remember that you are in a delicate period now." "Thank you Phil ." I smiled brightly at him. I felt at ease that Phillips was by my side to help me remember to be careful. ’Should I need to tell Maggie as well?’ I thought.Maggie was like an older sister to me. I am sure that she would understand my decision to keep my pregnancy from Ragnar for a while. But the problem is, she is someone overprotective of me. I knew by experience how she takes care of me like her own family. ’The problem is if Maggie knew, then she cannot help but be more overprotective of me.’ I thought. ’And R

"I am sure that the Nine Lives Mercenaries can keep this place safe." Ragnar said in passing. "All we can do is tell your grandfather and father back in the capital about the issue here. We cannot go out of our way to help this people now." He said while looking at me intently.I am sure that my husband was saying these words because he knew how kind I was and thought I would like to help this people. He was not wrong there, because seeing that this village looks so poor at least I would like to help their livelihoods a bit.But in my current condition, I cannot do anything beyond writing a letter of recommendation to Grandpa Marcus and Williams.’ I thought to myself. ’I am not alone in this body anymore and I need to be mindful of every action I take.’ "You are right Erik." I agreed. "I am thinking of sending a letter to grandpa and Williams to inform them of the happenings here in southern woods." "That is good to hear." Ragnar smiled and patted my head. I felt happy like a child
