Dao was the second city affected by.the curfew policy. Unlike Taiwan, Dao citizens were quite compliant. No one tried to be sneaky or play hero. It was an organised town, essentially leading to no casualties and Archie wasn't very pleased by this news. “Did you look very well and not one person broke the curfew?” Archie asked them. “Not one, sir. Dao.city is known as the cleanest and most organised city in the black empire. I don't think we should be surprised about how compliant they were,” one of the men answered. “This is going to be a problem, Cedric We cannot afford more issues like this. We need to stir trouble to get the people to rise not return to grid homes and sleep peacefully.” Archie said.“It is just one city, Archie. Even if a war or protect was to be started, do you really think that Daoians would leave their comfortable beds to come protest?” Cedric asked him.“Ahhhh! This is just so annoying. Why can't they be as complaint as other cities?” He groaned. “Forget a

Darell opened her eyes to an unfamiliar environment. Where was she? It looked nothing like the afterlife she'd heard so much about.But this wasn't the after life. Not with the stench of drugs at least. Where was she then? The sight of the doctors alerted her that she wasn't wrong after all. Somehow, she'd managed to survive. She didn't know how to feel.She was back in the very nightmare she was trying so hard to escape.“How are you feeling ma'am?” One of the doctors asked.Darell struggled to keep her mind open. This had to be a good thing right? Maybe the universe wasn't done with her. “I feel like í should have been dead but here am I. Who brought me in?” She ignored the burning sensation in her throat. “Sir Ragi,” she responded. “You are lucky he found you on time. Else who knows what could have happened to you.”The information made her stomach churn. Radio found her? How? Didn't he leave? The doctor looked at her like she was expecting some kind of response, which Darell ha
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Suspicious
Need was a strong word but it explained house inner feelings. Darell stared at him critically, trying to ascertain if he was saying it to make her feel better.“Are you lying to me?” She asked and he cupped her face.“Don't ever try to take your life again. No matter what happens, even if we fight, don't set yourself on fire, I'm begging you.”It sounded funny to her ears but his serious expression was frightening. He meant every word of it.“Noted,” she forced a smile.“I need you to promise me,” he said firmly.“I promise,” Darrell answered, then smiled sadly. “Are we going back to the way we were or you're no longer comfortable with my presence,” she asked.It took every ounce of confidence in her to ask that question. She knew she didn't deserve to be in his space anymore.“I can't promise you that. I need to digest everything and decide I've moved on from it before letting you back in my life. I just want you to stay alive until then,” Ragi said sincerely.A part of him wanted t
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Eisha
“Mona?” She heard the old woman call her from inside. She wiped her hands quickly and went to meet the woman.“What do you want me to do for you?” Mona asked, hurrying into the living room. She noticed the woman was not alone. There was another woman who seemed slightly older than her.“Please get a drink for our guests,” the woman said. Mona gave the girl a once over before leaving.She was beautiful, no makeup of excessive jeweleries and a simple dress. A part of her suspected that was Eisha. Wasn't she supposed to come later in the week when Daniel got back? What was she doing here?She poured in some mango juice and placed it in a tray. There old woman strictly warned her to keep off it that is was meant for important guests. She scoffed. Of course the important guest was Eisha. Who else could it possibly be?As soon as she showed up, the grandmother's face lit up. “You are a very smart one, child. Good knew just the right drink to bring. I was telling Eisha here that you are v

“I don't get why you are so calm in this situation,” Archie companies. “Out plans are getting ruined by these Lords and you are not even bothered by it.” Cedric sat up from his comforter. “What do you want me to do? Isn't it obvious that the plan has been ruined? We need to kat low for now and strike again later.” “Lie low? That is exactly what they want us to do. Don't you get it? We need to strike while the gorund is still hot. If we wiat for the people's anger to die down, trust me, we will never get the desired effect,” Archie practically yelled. Cedirc could only blame himself for this madness. If only he minded his business and let the man focus on the filing and storage duties, this would never happened. It felt like he was dealing with a stranger. “So what do you suggest we do? According to you, the meeting has already been held and all the Chiefs already know about the fake bills so what would you have us do?” Cedric couldn't keep his voice from rising. “Why are you yel
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Jealousy
“Are you ready to talk? Don't think that little stunt you pulled will make me change my mind,” Ragi said frankly.The artist still looked like he was half drunk but Ragi didn't care. Once he tasted the poop in his disgusting toilet, the alcohol would vanish from his system. “I was only trying to make a living. I have nothing but my miserable life to hold on to,” the man shoved. “I am an artist with nothing to show off.” “That is not what I asked,” Ragi stated. “They wanted me to replicate the royal seal for a huge sum of money. It was just the breakthrough I needed so I took the job. I didn't mean to cause any trouble,” the man burst into tears. “Please spare me.” “You haven't given me names, buddy. I don't even see how you're getting out of this. This place might be tiny but you have no excuse for keeping it like a pig sty!” Ragi told him. “It's not even mine. I stay here with five others. They are just street urchins like me. I wanted to change our lives for the better. As for
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Arrested
“You did all this and you didn't think it was wise to let me know?” Styles asked. “I'm sorry, your highness but I couldn't be sure of anything. I didn't want to raise your hopes and dash it. But now, I have the artist in my custody. We need to do this court hearing immediately before they get a whiff of this and try to destroy evidence like they always do,” Ragi told him.“You have a point. I will see to that. We will have the hearing tomorrow. I will have a meeting with the Lords…”“No!” Ragi blurted and Styles raised a brow. “We can't trust any of them for sure. Let's just surprise everyone with the hearing tomorrow, arrest the perpetrators before anything ruins it,” he said. “Okay.” Styles pushed the scroll aside. “What do you think I should do, Ragi? My uncle is becoming a pest we can't ignore. You think he's about to give it a rest and then he strikes back when you least expect. I'm sure he's lying low now, thinking of another sick conspiracy,” Styles said. “We have to detain

“Grandma, I wanted to talk to you,” Mona said timidly. “Go ahead.” “I am sorry for what happened between Eisha, you and I. I know I came off as disrespectful and I want to apologise for that. I didn't mean to speak to you in that manner,” Mona apologised. “It is okay, child. I understand you. Eisha went over the line and I stood with her without listening to your side of the story. Your words were actually an eye opener for me,” The woman said. “Does that mean you are not upset with me anymore?” Mona asked, eyes twinkling with hope. “I was never uoset with you. Come here, sit with me,” she patted the space beside her and Mona plunged herself on the couch. “You should try to get along with Eisha too. She is a very nice person. I thought you two would be best of friends,” She said and Mona almost laughed. “Best of friends? Come on, grandma. You don't seriously believe that. She hates my guts and believes I am here to replace her, which is not true,” Mona answered.“She has loved

“You already cast this spell on me. Am I supposed to stay awake forever, Darell?” Ivory was fed up. “Please calm down, your highness,” Darell said softly. “How many more of these temporary spells do I need? You already did the first one and it wore off in three days or less and now this?” Ivory exasperated.“We are trying to buy time to find a solution, Your Majesty. Please understand,” Darell explained calmly. She couldn't find it in her to get pissed at Ivory. She couldn't even imagine what the woman was going through now. “You know what, I'm done with this!” Ivory growled and stormed out of the room. “Where is she going? Somebody stop her!” Darell yelled but the glares that Ivory threw their way made them stand back. They resorted to informing the Emperor as he was the only one who could calm her down. Ivory got to the kitchen and matched to the cabinets where the knives were kept. The maids gasped as she grabbed the butcher knife. Darell rushed into the kitchen at that mom
Awake
Darell went to the execution ground with a couple of guards. Roy was still unconscious and it was perfect for her operation. She set her materials in place and started the ritual. Soon enough, she invaded Roy's mind but just before she could extract the information she was looking for, his eyes flew open and a cruel laugh escaped him.“What do you think you are doing?” He asked her. “Do you think I will keep such confidential information in my head?” “What did the Empress do to you?” Darell demanded.“Nothing,” he shrugged. “Was it the Emperor then?” She asked. “He doesn't need to do anything for me to punish him. I love the feeling of crushing the weak,” he laughed. Darell knew this man was a maniac.She knocked him back unconscious with an enchanted powder and began the ritual once again. Although he made it clear that the answers were not in his mind, she didn't want to relent. Even if she didn't get a direct answer, she was sure she would find a clue on how to stop it. She

The first hit had Daniel flying across the street. He let out a loud groan as his back connected with the tree. This wasn't the regular fight he was used to but he knew exactly what he was getting himself into when he challenged Roy.He forced himself up the ground and charged towards Roy but the man easily swung him to the side. “You know when you challenged me, I actually thought you had some insight on how to fight me spiritually,” he huffed, “but engaging you has proven to be a waste of time!”“Which is why you should take me on!” A feminine voice challenged from behind. Roy already recognized the voice as Darell's.He whipped his head around, surprised that she could get the chains off her. He'd always known there was something special about this woman and every single minute he spent with her proved that she was twice as powerful as he was.“I didn't expect you to be up so soon,” he said. “How long did you think I could stand the stench of your wife?” Darell retorted. “Wife?
The bracelet
Eisha didn't dare look back as she ran. Although she was afraid of what would happen to Daniel with her gone, she knew it was necessary to save the Empress before the monster she once considered a friend got to her. She didn't think that Daniel was equipped enough to hold him down for long and her legs were getting tired. On sighting a horse from a distance, she quickly flagged the horse and luckily it was a royal horse. “Who are you running?” The soldier asked. Eisha was about to respond when she suddenly realized that a single royal horse couldn't be out here in their market.It only meant one thing. Without responding, she dashed past him, running to catch a carriage to the palace. Her heart skipped when she heard the horse galloping behind her.“Hey, woman! Stop there!” He yelled. She quickly diverted into a narrow street and went through several houses, confident he wouldn't find her. By the time she was out on the street again, the rider was nowhere in sight. She flagged a

“You need to come with me to the palace now,” Daniel told Eisha. “Why? Is something wrong?” She asked. It was sudden to see him return at that this time of the day so she knew for sure that something was up. “Yes, very wrong. The Empress, something is happening to her and we don't know the cause of it,” he said. “What is wrong with the Empress?” Eisha asked. “Her nightmares are becoming reality. She has bite and claw marks all over her and it's becoming frightening. I have this feeling it might have something to do with Roy,” he said. Eisha frowned. She didn't exactly see the connection. As if he read her mind, he responded. “The attacks started immediately after the ceremony,” he explained.“I know Roy is into some shady business but I am not sure he has anything to do with the Empress' ailment,” Eisha argued. “Fine! Even if he's not responsible for it, let's inform the Emperor about his true identity.”“I don't know, Daniel. Is that really necessary…” Eisha drawled uneasily.
Corpse
Darell opened her eyes to an unfamiliar environment. The place was stuffy and smelled like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Her heightened senses could pick out the smell of a rotting corpse somewhere. She tried to sit up from the lying position only to discover that her body was chained to the bed. Her nose scrunched in irritation. “You're awake,” the gruff voice startled her. She didn't notice his presence in the room, until now. “That's good. I was hoping we could have a civil conversation.”“If you were going to abduct me, you should have at least picked somewhere with enough oxygen. I would the bare first than a room with a rotting corpse,” Darell said.Roy's eyes widen in shock. He thought the spell he used to give the room a homely smell was very effective since no one ever complained about it.How come she smelled it in just seconds of consciousness?“I don't know what you're talking about,” he denied. “You have a yard behind this place, don't you? Didn't it occur to you
Missing
Darell squinted her eyes, trying to get a glimpse of his true appearance but there was nothing for her to see. Everything was concealed by the mask on his face. “I don't want to kill you. Left to me, I wouldn't even be here but you are trying to interfere with something that is none of your business and I can't let that happen,” Roy said. “You mean the royal family? I'm afraid that is every bit my business as it is yours and I am going to stop you,” Darell said confidently. Darell pulled out a sword, surprising her. For someone with such an evil aura, she expected him to go fully spiritual on her. “A blade? I thought we were playing with magic. Except, you're not as powerful as you pretend to be,” she mocked. Roy didn't let her words get to him. The mountain already weakened him enough. Any attack he made on this woman had to be physical.She could head to head with him spiritually because of his weak state but her dainty form was no match for his physical strength.“You are not
Evil
“What do you think?” Ragi moved away from the Empress with a puzzled expression. “I must confess your highness, I have never seen anything like this. It is strange to me,” Ragi said.Ivory’s shoulder sagged hopelessly. She was expecting that response. Even in her kingdom, there had never been a record of anything like it. “So what do we do now? We have less than ten hours to figure this out, Ragi. I don't want my wife going to bed and waking up with more injuries. We need to do something about this,” Styles said. “I'm sorry, your Majesty but I really don't understand what we can do in this situation. It is a new ailment and it is quite scary,” Ragi sighed.Ivory stood, begging to be excused. She couldn't take it anymore. The images in her head was scary enough, she didn't need a reconfirmation.Styles wanted to go after her but Ragi stopped him.“Maybe Darell can help,” he suggested.“Right, Darell! Why didn't we think about that earlier? Get her here as soon as possible. I'll go
Bitten
Ivory sat in her chelanvers, staring at the clock. She was afraid to sleep. She didn't want a repeat of what happened the last time.A part of her was still trying to convince her that it was all in her head. That she probably for the scratches from thrashing. But the injuries were too deep to have been her nails and the doctor confirmed it too.Styles walked into the room and this time, she was well aware of his presence. “My love,” she smiled. “Why are you still awake? It's pretty late,” he asked then glanced at the baby's cot, “was she giving you trouble?”“A little but I'm glad she's asleep now. I didn't expect you to come in so soon,” she said. Of a truth, she didn't expect him to come to her chambers at all. She was afraid he would easily notice the marks. Although she was fully clothed, she could feel the lust as his eyes roamed her body. “You're a bit overdressed, don't you think?” He spoke up and she bit her lip. “I was catching a cold,” she lied. “Are you feverish?” H
