My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Dead
Liah stopped in front of the guards with a tray of food. “Who are you?”“General Ragi asked that I bring the prisoner food to brace him for the trial ahead,” Liah lied. She had been going about her normal chores when Cedric sent for her. This time, he threatened to kill her if she failed to deliver the assignment.He wasn't bluffing so she couldn't risk it. Besides, this was relatively easier than the last assignment. She didn't know Malk so killing him wouldn't bother her half as much as incapacitating the Emperor. So she made a mask to hide her real face so that even if the poison was discovered, she wouldn't be a suspect. “Are you sure about this?” The guard asked suspiciously but Liah showed no sign of fear. “You can go ahead and ask him. He will be down here in an hour anyway,” she shrugged. The guards seemed to be convinced and let her in. Liah arrived at his cell and dropped the food. Glancing back to make sure the guards weren't eavesdropping, she whispered.“The Lord p
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Subtle
A few days went by and Styles didn't leave Ivory's side. Ragi made sure to tighten security and all pieces of equipment and doctors were double-checked. They couldn't take the risk of another accident. The Empress was slipping in and out of unconsciousness but it was better than being dead and Styles was happy with the development. Cedric didn't like this one bit. He went around the Elders's houses trying to convince them that Styles was neglecting the affairs of the kingdom because of a woman.The visits were unsuccessful, of course. Unlike he hoped, the Lords understood the feeling of loss and decided to support the Emperor until his wife was back in good health. They also reminded him that Ragi was filling in for him even though there were no pressing matters in the empire. Cedric’s annoyance only grew. It seemed like his nephew had the entire council of Lords wrapped around his fingers. So he decided to pay the Empress a visit. As expected Ragi was the first person he came a
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Beheaded
Styles rested in the bath, shutting his eyes to enjoy the burn coating his skin. His head was thrown backward as the steam enveloped the room, making it difficult to spot anything. He needed this after the three days tarry by his wife's side. Ragi had to force him out because it was unbefitting of an Emperor to skip his bath for three consecutive days. Styles couldn't argue. The man had a point. So he let his wife under the care of the security and went to have his bath. “This feels so good,” he mumbled, sinking deeper into the water. Usually, the maids were supposed to help him bathe but Styles had them dismissed since he got married. He didn't want any other woman touching him except his wife. Ivory had gone a thousand shades of red then and he found it absolutely adorable. Sometimes, it surprised him how easily the woman was occupying his heart. If only he met her before he got entangled with Mona. Now, he was going to do his best to protect her from his enemies. He was goin
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Bloody confessions
Cedric and Mona froze at the sight of Ragi. Mona was visibly consumed by fear. Was he here to arrest them? Cedric quickly regained his composure. Ragi was the last person they needed to mess with at this point.“Did you want something?” Cedric asked. “Want something? No, nothing at all,” Ragi shrugged. “Then why are you here?” Cedric asked him. “To inform you that the assassin has been caught and your presence is required at the council meeting,” Ragi answered in a monotone, betraying nothing of his thoughts.Mona swallowed thickly, forcing herself to remain calm. The situation couldn't be as bad as Ragi was making it seem. The man was probably trying to scare them.“And why did they send you to deliver this message? They usually don't care if I attend a meeting or not,” Cedric’s suspicion echoed in his voice but Ragi didn't seem bothered by it at all.“Because you must attend this meeting. They sent me to drag you to the palace if I have to, which is why I am here.”Cedric and Mo

“I just knew it! Tacki couldn't have resurfaced from the blues after attempting to kill your father years ago,” Ragi exasperated.“You need to calm down, Ragi. You might be overthinking things,” Styles tried to tone down the situation. He knew how Ragi could get when he was infuriated. “What are you trying to say, your highness? That I don't know what I'm talking about. Your uncle is doing his best to frustrate you out of the throne or kill you on it and you tag it overthinking?” Ragi growled. Styles moved back a bit. Ragi had never spoken to him in that matter. “Do you have any idea what his next course of action would be? This is his attempt at assassinating you and it failed! What other proof are you looking for!” “Ragi!” Styles snapped and the man blinked. “Please calm down.” An apologetic look morphed on his face. He didn't mean to disrespect the Emperor. The recent happenings stressed him out and he was worried the Emperor would get badly hurt or worse, killed. “I'm sorry,
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Awake
Ragi stared at the girl in disbelief. His piercing gaze made her uncomfortable. She was accusing him of rape when she was the one who tried to jump him in his sleep. “Did you say I tried to rape you?” His tone was so harsh that even the soldiers flinched. “Yes,” the girl avoided his eyes. “I came to serve you fruits and you grabbed me. You ripped my clothes too!” The scene was too ridiculous for imagination. Who could have tasked a mere servant with such a stupid task? To think she had the audacity to carry it out. The soldiers stared helplessly at him, uncertain of what to do. “Are you sure it was Ragi?” Styles spoke for the first since he arrived. He knew Ragi like the back of his palm. The man is too principled to lay a woman against her wish. There had to be some sort of misunderstanding.“I am certain, Your Highness. He grabbed me and ripped my clothes because I wouldn't take them off willingly. I tried to explain to him that I have a partner but he wouldn't listen,” she sn
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Frustrated
Three days later, Ivory was discharged and taken to her room. Ragi on the other hand was still under house arrest, awaiting trial. Styles was up and doing his best to prove Ragi's Innocence. The guards were ready to testify on his character and moral standards but this was a case of rape and they were going to need a lot more than words. The maid was cross-examined on several occasions but she still stood her ground that Ragi was a rapist. Ragi on the other hand denied knowing her. He could have easily swept the case under the rug because no evidence was presented but he worried about what his people would think of him for dismissing something so serious.It will eventually boil down to the fact that he was being partial because she was merely a servant.And he didn't want that. He wanted to handle the case in a way that would raise no questions.Ivory, although under bed rest, couldn't help but worry. She could see how drained her husband was.A knock came on the door and a set o
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Hope
Liah sat in her quarters thinking about the Queen's words. She'd known Eina for a long time and just like her, Eina’s parents were also criminals. The girl would do anything to keep her parents' heads. The only one who would want General Ragi out of the way was Lord Cedric. This Lord Cedric was the one who let Eina's parents get away with her crimes.With the two pieces coming together, she realized that Eina was working under Lord Cedric just like her. She knew this before her talk with the queen.The leaf the Queen wanted used to be one of their most cherished plants. Although it was almost extinct because men like Lord Cedric knew the effects it would have on their activities so they had the plants destroyed. She wasn't lying when she told the Empress the plant was not in the black Empire. She only lied about knowing its existence. She wasn't friends with Eina but Liah knew what Lord Cedric was capable of. The man was one of the cruelest men to ever exist and if this was his as

“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?

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

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

“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
