"Mother...." She turned back to meet her mother who was already out of bed and walking towards her. Queen Audrey felt a ton of relieve seeing that she was safe, she walked in a haste towards Elnora pulling her into her embrace, Elnora didn't expect the sudden hug so she delayed in reciprocating, she figured her mother was acting out of worry for her. She sighed, loosening herself, her arms stretched out to wrap around her mother. After a brief moment they seperated from each other's embrace. Queen Audrey let her hand cup Elnora's face, her breath still heavy recovering from her previously anxious state."You got me scared." She said in a low voice. Elnora could feel her emotions in her words, she didn't want it be like this, she was finally awake, all she needed from her family was for them to be happy and enjoy every moment from now on but they were too busy worrying every second about her and suffocating her with protection. She knew it was for the best but couldn't help how it made
Dahlia found herself quivering from the accusative thoughts that ran through her mind, she was in trouble. What if the girls were right? Ever since Zora came something unwelcoming always happened and now this. Was it her own karma for supporting Zora against the other maids when she barely knew her, it was a war in her head. What in heavens did Zora give her as a mixture for the princess bath? She certainly didn't want to end up like Ari. Her head was low avoiding the strange sight that painted the place, moreso, Elnora was quiet she had not uttered a single word and it got her even scared. In that moment she did the only thing she could think, her legs crumbled to the ground her hand splayed supportively on the floor to her upper body. Her eyes searched the earth before her, like the words she needed to explain herself were staring from it."M-my lady, believe me... No I swear, I have no idea what...." She choked in her words, unable to assemble a reasonable explanation in her mind. "
By the time Dahlia returned to help the princess fit into her dress, she found her already dressed in her undergarments."I apologise for coming late my lady." She said, her head slightly bent."It's fine Dahlia, I didn't expect you to know the time I'd be done in there." Her sweet voice calmed the tensed up heart of Dahlia who was already cursing herself within. Dahlia raised her head, her eyes falling on the enchanting smile that Elnora waved at her, she smiled back nervously."You really don't mind?" She asked with every hint of caution in her voice. Elnora's face settled with a frown observing the uneasy attitude she had been displaying so far. She was curious to know what Dahlia thought about her. It seemed to her that Dahlia was scared of her, maybe her father but would still because of her. She knew how jealously her father guarded her and would not blink to purnish anyone who went wrong with her, it had been a serious trouble for her over the years knowing the extent her father
Earl had considered it late in the morning to visit the celestial but within him he felt everything in him pushing him to leave his bed, so without further thoughts he teleported himself into her room, she was alone and , something was different about her today. His demon took him unawares and erupted like a volcano, what was happening to him? He had been able to contain his demons for many years, why did it suddenly become stronger. The minute a strange but appealing scent graced his nosetril, his demon woke up stronger than ever. It was dangerous being around her at this point but his legs wouldn't move. His demon was in charge now. His flaming eyes became dark and craving, why did she smell so, something so strange and intoxicating. It was unearthly, he picked another scent that was milder and would on a norms be very appealing but the first scent he perceived had overshadowed it. It was unearthly and triggered his demon. His eyes fell on her back, she was sitting by her eating tab
Rose looked down on her twisted hands and chuckled almost unnoticed. Even though Elnora had been looking closely she missed the quick moment of amusement Rose just had. It was unbelievable to think, there was no other person capable of doing that aside the human demon. She couldn't resist to entertain a stupid thought that popped in her mind, what if he did all that demon manifestation just to scare her so he could steal her food. The image of his transformation registered in her head again but it didn't scare her like it had done before. This was all strange to her, despite witnessing all this that seemed too unbelievably true, she still managed to keep her cool and not alert anyone about her discovery. Why did she feel safe with him at a point and scared to her bones for the same person. Why did she feel the need to protect him earlier instead of screaming to alert the guards? It was indeed so strange to her. She had been staring into space oblivious, dipped in her thoughts. She blin
Edgar had just returned from the council's meeting, it was obvious from everything that had been discussed that there was much work to be done from now on, the king had suspended every preparation for the forthcoming events because Elnora was missing as at the time but knowing how much Elnora valued such events it was impossible to cancel for the year. This was her only chance every year at meeting people and being sorrounded by noble children. She hoped each year to be able to bond with someone and possibly make friends with them but all rather behaved in a dutiful manner towards her, the noble ladies trying to get on her good side in order to gain more favour from the king. The noble sons more interested in something intimate, covering up their real selfs with a pretentious mask, acting as saints before her so that when the time came that she needed to choose a husband they would be the lucky one. She knew none of them treated her with genuine interest and it saddened her a lot, with
Zora wondered why he was silent and staring so intensely at her, even though their eyes weren't locked, she could feel his intense gaze on her. It made her want to flee and be anywhere else that wasn't close to him. Was she going to really survive being his maid, he confused her a lot."What are you waiting for?" He asked in a cold and low voice. Zora felt her breath racing at the sound of his voice, why was a half celestial being so intimidating. She had stood before more life threatening situations before, was it his killer intent the previous day when he pinned her to his bed? She felt him so strong and determined to end her at that moment. She had no evil intentions towards him but his killer intent was so strong that she almost gave up her breath out of fear. This is not you Zora! She scolded herself, she knew herself too well and this wasn't her, she that could render ones attack on her useless with just a punch line was wordless before him. She who could stand before anyone with
Zora eyes were now fixed on this man who dared to challenge the prince, yes! She knew him, how could she forget the one who almost caught her and interrupted her communion, like he was thinking about that night as well, Irwin maintained a deep gaze at Zora who narrowed her eyes interrogatively at him. He remained silent leaving her with nothing but a smirk. She felt attacked by his negative gesture at her, he shouldn't be a problem since he knew Earl but something about him didn't sit right with her. That expression had something deeper to it and yes she figured, he looked like he was trying to tell her something. Dislike, suspicions either one of them all wasn't well. What if he really caught her trying to communicate with Ari through her necklace, maybe he was pretending not to have seen it. Landon was already watching her with nocturnal eyes she hoped he wasn't going to add to the watch.Edgar was taken aback by Irwin's challenge. Why would he want to fight him declaring a challenge
She was frightened at first by the sudden appearance of the ancient demon but the moment she saw his wound that wasn't healing she sighed out her fear. A glint of curiosity sparkled in her eyes as she fixated her gaze on his injury. She figured that it had everything to do with the fight with the prince but he was supposed to heal, yet he wasn't."Zora what is going on?" Ari spoke from the other side, she was the only one who could hear her through the necklace. She broke off the connection which caused the necklace to stop glowing."How do you know the name Davina?" Irwin asked in a gravelled and pain wrecked voice. He was in deep pain and his demon was creeping its way up to the surface. Zora adjusted her countenance to appear nonchalant. "You don't look too good and you could die." She said with no care in the world. Irwin's breath was heavy and despite his red eyes she could feel the fear he haboured now. Her lips twitched as she went through her mind for the best way to put him
The night touches were lit illuminating the long corridors of the castle. Soldiers were changing their shifts and maids were in the last hours of their works before the retired to bed. Zora stood behind prince Edgar as she helped him fit into his night wear. It was a long day planning all the events that were put on hold because of the princess spell which included a tournament that involved noble sons and citizens from across the country."All set my prince." Zora said behind him, the room was almost deadly silent from the moment she helped him out with his bath to dressing him up. After that day with Earl she visited him at his place and at the brothel where she found him and was informed of his heated night. She felt a sting in her chest that he was having a fun time with some other ladies but she deserved it so she thought. He was better off getting over whatever little emotions he had felt that way. She felt guilty not for letting him see her in such suggestive position with th
A black cloak sweeps across the dried ruffled leafs that were scattered across the floor by the wind. Their was a slight echo of wind and the cold chill of it causing goosebumps on Davina's face. Nocturne birds cried while the the moon casted it's bright colour against the dark woods. "Give me back my crown." Davina said sorrowfully in a low voice as she dragged her feet further into the woods. She felt void of the elders presence and it only meant that the powerful aura around her was lost and anyone could notice the difference if not too obvious.She sighed, her head tilting in the direction of crackling woods. She began walking towards the direction, she had been threading these woods looking for Muriel, she was weak, hungry and thirsty. "Goodness!" She muttered once her eyes caught sight of the burning wood which she presumed was the fire made by Muriel."Muriel...." She called in a low voice but got no reply, she repeated her name again but when she got no answer she dragged her
Edgar observed the intense gaze between the two, it felt like they were involved in some kind of nonverbal communication. He focused on Zora who looked like she battled with some regrets within her as she looked at Earl, then he moved his focus to Earl who stared unwaveringly at her, his eyes bore a tacit of hurt in it and annoyance. His mind was also working fast bringing a lot of different interpretations to it about the situation. This two looked like they certainly had something deeper going on between them. If that was the case why was he not informed earlier. Then he also realized it was no business of his if they were together emotionally and didn't see the need to let it known. Which ever was the case, he felt his heart squeeze and burn in pain. He was taken aback by the amount of pain that punctured his heart. His mind was flooding and everything in it made him scared, scared to loose her and jealousy if they were actually a thing. Still there was a heavy determination in him.
She stood outside his door waiting for him to give his consent. It didn't take long before he finally called her in. She stepped in and she dwelled on the sight of his manly body dipped inside the bath while the steam from it rose slowly, making the vision of him a bit blurr. His rich dark hair was layed back and his body dripped of water he had immersed himself in. His arms were stretched across the bath giving him a balance to rest his back against the bath wall. She blinked as her eyes went dreamy in admiration. He looked perfect and tempting. She walked up slowly to him, grabbing the bowl filled with nice scenting flowers. His bath was constructed in a pool like manner, just that it was quite smaller and fit enough for his entire body and an additional two. She brought her dress to a fold in between her legs leaving little skin from her knees to be the only part to show. She placed the bowl beside her and made sure she was close enough to him. The water was quite steamy and already
Zora's eyes widened at his question, she sighed deeply, her throat swallowing hard. He was putting her in a tight corner, how was she supposed to answer that? That she was staring at his unearthly beauty."You're hurting me." She said wincing in pain at his strong grip on her, he loosened his hands immediately and his intense gaze changed to a concerned look. He wanted to apologise for handling her roughly but kept mute instead allowing his actions do the apology."Go ahead, go prepare my bath." He said dismissively, turning away from her. She gave a slight nod before leaving. She couldn't expect more compensation to his hard grip on her than this. There was no way she could answer his question so easily, thankfully things happened the way it did. Edgar sighed brushing his hair with his fingers, few minutes went by after she left and he needed her right back. He didn't know how long this was going to drag on but he wanted her, every minute every second. He wanted to feel her presence
