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
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
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
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.
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
