“She is a very foolish one, I tell you. I made her an offer and she ignored me. Now she is going to get what she deserves,” Elena scoffed.

When she didn't get any response to her rants, she turned to the people behind her. Joel and Klein were busy cleaning up their father's body.

"Is that how we do things now? I speak and you all ignore me?” She exasperated.

“Mother please, now is not the time for trouble. We should be more concerned on how to help father recover,” Joel said.

"And you are one to speak? When last did anyone see you around here? You have been busy doing whatever and we have been suffering to keep him stable while fighting for our rights!” Elena yelled.

"Why are you shouting, Mother? You are well aware that Joel had to leave for some manual work in the heart of the city to make money for father's treatment. You, on the other hand, have been chasing shadows and ranting all day,” Klein defended.

"Oh, I see what this is. I won't stand here and let you both insult me. Be

    married was tempted to yell out at that moment. Ask if he had lost his sanity but she couldn't. She had to keep pretending like she didn't know who he was. Who knew what he would do to her if she dared speak?“Why are you doing this?" She opted for the safer question. The response didn't come as quickly as she hoped. The man was busy. Busy feeling her up and it disgusted her to no end. She wanted to push him away, slap him across the face, and tell him how much of a disgrace he was but she couldn't do any of that. She was tied to a chair with very little movement permitted. “Why am I doing this?" He repeated her question. “You of all people shouldn't be asking me that. I already stated my reasons in my letter but since you want me to spell it out, I will…”Each passing second confirmed his identity more and more. He was getting so comfortable speaking that he didn't notice his facade slipping. "I can't get you off my mind, Ivory. I want you. All I can think about is you. At first

    Joel hit the ground with a groan, his life decisions flashing before his eyes as the soldiers emerged from the shadows.His vision was starting to blur out but just before he passed out, he made out the figures of the Emperor and his general.At that moment, he realized that he had been tricked. It was a carefully planned scheme to get him and he fell for it. The Emperor stopped in front of him but before he could process anything, a kick met him in the face, sending him to unconsciousness.“Throw him in the well and make sure no one knows rs about this. I don't want him tried. I want him tortured to death," Styles instructed. “Yes, Your Majesty," the soldiers bowed before lifting his corpse. Styles proceeded into the house and was stunned to find his Empress half-naked. Ragi turned around immediately and ordered the soldiers out to give him privacy. “Styles?" Ivory guessed since she could scent his perfume. “Please tell me it is you. I can't stand this place any longer." He walk

    “What do you mean you can't find your brother? Have you checked the palace?" Elena asked.“I did, Mother but I can't find him anywhere," Klein responded.“What are you saying? He just got back and now he's missing? If this is a joke, you better cut it out. Go and search the palace properly. He is somewhere," she snapped.Klein didn't want to argue with her so he went searching again. He knew for a fact that Joel wasn't missing today.The man had been absent from the palace for two days but he wasn't worried because the Empress was missing too, which meant they were together.But now the Emperor was suddenly back with the Empress and Joel was still yet to return, it had him fearing the worst. He was skeptical about it though. If the man was caught, certainly the soldiers would have brought him back right?But they didn't. He even went as far as searching Joel's hideout in the woods but there was no sign of life there or anything to give him a clue on what happened.That was why he we

    “What do you think they are going to do to him, mother?” Mona asked in a fear-consumed tone. Elena was still trying to recover from the shock. She knew she didn't exactly raise angels, but never in her life would she have imagined that Joel was capable of such a thing.He always seemed like the morally inclined one among them. To think he went as far as raping a woman in an unconscious state!That could not forgiven no matter how she tried to paint it in her head."Mother! You're not saying anything!” Mona complained but Elena continued standing there in silence absorbing the shock the news sent to her. " We can't just do nothing! I know what he did was wrong but we have to plead with Styles to spare him. Those people will kill him!” Mona cried. She didn't know what prompted them to do something so stupid but she was scared for them. They were her only siblings. She couldn't afford to loose them. “Mother," she whined pulling the woman's arm until Elena got fed up and yanked her a

    Klein gulped hard as the general matched to him. What was going to happen now? He couldn't kill his brother, even with a knife to his neck. The General stopped in front of him with a stoic expression, “You will be taken to the execution ground today and I must warn you, if you try to pull any stunt, you will lose both your heads.”"I… I can't do it. I can't kill… you have to understand me, we grew up together. We do everything together. We are…”" I don't care about your family tree. The Emperor gave an order and if you can't fulfill it, you will suffer the same fate as him,” the General cut him short. Klein could barely move a muscle. The soldiers had to grab him immediately and dragged him to the execution ground. By the time he got to the execution ground, his soul left his body as he took in the state of his brother. The man was covered in burns and injuries that looked very fresh. His head had missing patches of hair and on one of his arms, a bone was sticking out of his f

    Mona cried profusely in her bed, the scene replaying over and over in her head. She could feel her heart breaking over and over again. The servants didn't bother about her pain.. No one even stopped to ask about the reason for her tears or sympathized with her. It was obvious they already knew what had happened but the grudges they held against her wouldn't let them sympathize with her. Someone tapped her suddenly and she turned to see her mother. Anger coursed through her veins as she saw the woman.“Mona,” Elena called quietly, attempting to touch her again but Mona flipped her hand away. "Don't touch me! This is all your fault!” She screamed at her. Elena flinched, surprised by the hostility even though she'd anticipated it. " My fault? How is it my fault? I didn't ask your brother to rape the Empress!” She retorted. “You know, I always suspected you were heartless, now you just proved me right! They killed your son and you're not even bothered about it,” Mona screamed at her

    Nine months later.Styles had the best doctors surround Ivory. Her due date was in one week but he wasn't going to risk it. He made sure the servants attended to her and provided her with everything she wanted. He didn't want to hear that she lifted a finger to do anything.Ivory felt suffocated with the numerous strange faces around her but she couldn't do anything about it. It was the only way her husband would leave her side and attend to matters of the empire.“Your Highness, do you need anything else?" A servant asked after serving her the fruits. Ivory shook her head and proceeded to eat the fruits under their watchful eyes. If she didn't know better, she would assume they were waiting for her to drop dead. But the opposite was the case. “Your Highness, do you like the fruits? Should I get you more?” The girl asked and Ivory managed to shake her head. The irritation shooting through her veins threatened to make her snap and she couldn't afford to.They didn't deserve it. The

    The news of her missing baby kept Ivory in shock for almost a week. She didn't say a word, didn't eat, barely even blinked. She just stared blankly into space, disregarding everything that was being said to her. The doctors tried their best to get her out of her depressed state but nothing seemed to be working. The Empress was depressed and broken. Only the cry of her baby could bring her back. The Emperor was devastated. He didn't understand why anyone would want to harm him daughter. She was only a baby. Innocent and fragile. His heart hurts everytime he thought about the possible suffering they were subjecting her to.He could imagine her cries from all the times she was denied food. She wasn't even allowed to taste her mother's milk.This was by far the highest form of cruelty. “Your Majesty, I know this might not be what you want to hear at this critical moment, but sulking will not solve this. We need to find the culprit and we can't do that if you're moping around," Ragi s

    “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

    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
