“Argh! How!? How are you alive!?” I cried in agony as the werewolf lifted me by my right wrist whilst impaling my very bones.He brought me to his burnt face and said, “You didn't stand a chance, Gladian Prince.” He whisked me onto a side window which I broke through to the outside, breaking the wooden glass window into glass shards upon impact.Once I collected myself from the stone floor outside, I noticed that my tunic was torn, exposing my bare chest and the crescent birthmark that laid on my left breast.“Mother always warned me to keep it hidden, I can't let it be seen.” I thought upon seeing it, so I kept my mildly broken and pierced right hand over my left breast to hide my birthmark while struggling to get up from the cold floor.I stood up with what little strength I had but the truth of the matter was that I was cut, bruised as well as injured all over my body, my left leg was mildly broken and my aura was... Depleted.Worst of all, there was a huge shard of glass painfully
In a last attempt of effort, I held onto my rapier, pulled out the huge glass shard from my left shoulder, “ARGH!!” and painfully stood, “Hrmgh!!”Once I stood, the werewolf stopped laughing. “What is this!?” he questioned as he watched me leave him.“Where are you going!?” His guard was up but he didn't attack.“Do you not hear me, weakling!?” he roared to me as moved away from him.Ignoring him, I continued moving towards the inn, limping from my left leg as I did. I finally reached the massive hole in the entrance of the lobby and went in.However, as I came out, I had in my other hand the unconscious body of the red-haired lady, dragging her motionless body by her head.The werewolf was confused so he questioned me, “What is this!? Do you mean to mock me!?I chuckled, “No, I'm here to give you the last choice,”“The last choice...?” the werewolf uttered.“Yes...!” I wore a mischievous smile, “One last choice to save your so-called beloved and the life of your unborn child!!" I lif
While Moonlight took me through the foggy road, I had another dream, it was of another memory of mother.***She had just finished advising me about what it means to be a Royal, and once she did, she pulled out her staff, it was a 6ft tall staff made up of some kind of polished rock. She called it the Moonstaff.“Umm, mother? What's the staff for?”“Oh dear, this is for punishment~!”I was worried, “Umm, punishment?”“Yes... Show me that ass now...” she said with a calm smile.“U-Umm, but why?”She stated while patting my head, “Oh dear, I need to punish you for attacking your teacher and causing a ruckus in class, don't I? It's called discipline.”“But the staff, it's big...” I almost let out a tear as I tried to reason with her. I hesitated for a good while but I sooner submitted as her hold was strong on me.“Please... Be gentle," I pleadingly said as I pulled down my trousers leaving my bare dark buttocks exposed.“Ahh!! Lord have mercy!” the vibrative impact of the staff took me
Penelope was very perplexed by my statement, so she curiously questioned, “But how? Why? From what I'd heard about Will's Inn it wasn't going through any rough times since its establishment a year ago.”I insensately stated, “For how? It's pretty simple actually, poisonous mushrooms and a lot was greed.”“Poisonous mushrooms, sire? You don't mean to say that she... Fed her husband poisonous mushrooms, did you!?” Penelope said with a shocked expression.I replied with a disagreeing gesture, “Oh no no no, that would be too obvious and people would have caught her somehow. No... She poisoned him much more discreetly, you could even say she did it under his nose. Hahaha...” I chuckled.“Then... How?” she asked again with a tilt of her cute head.With a gesture, pointing to my nose, I said, “Just like I said, she did it right under his nose specifically under his work desk, it was an eight-drawer cedar desk, probably imported because Gladia isn't known for growing those types of wood. Just
Everything seemed to be in place now, there wasn't any more time to waste, I finished my meal and promptly had Penelope help me bathe as I was in a hurry.I knew I usually didn't allow any maid to bathe me and would just bathe myself otherwise. However, my current situation called for assistance because even though I was healed without many scars, I could still feel the pain from the injuries and that prevented efficient movement of my limbs.So to correct that and lessen my pain, I strolled to my bathroom which was immediately next to my bedroom chamber, it had a bathtub, large mirrors against the bathroom walls and a couple of wooden buckets filled with warm water lying around the bathtub, probably filled up by the live-in maids.I went into the half-filled bathtub and slowly soaked my aching body in there, waiting for Penelope to take over and bathe me.As she scrubbed my body and hair, the gold dye that kept my hair blonde slowly washed off, l
I couldn't help myself, I wanted to see the contents of her drawer.“I'll just... Take a quick peek, let's call it an inspection of sorts. I'm not hurting anyone.” I convinced myself in my thoughts, and a naughty smirk escaped my face.I pulled out the top compartment, it slid out easily to reveal; a few folded maid uniforms and thigh stockings.“She's an organized individual, just look at her neatly folded wears. Impressively done, Penelope," I praised her organization skills in my thoughts as I carefully searched through her wears, making sure not to scatter anything or leave any signs of rummaging.Once I was satisfied with my search, I proceeded to open the bottom compartment.“Oh well, now for the second one~!” I was a bit excited about the second one but once I pulled on the second compartment, it refused to slide out.“Damn it! It's locked," I thought as I kept pulling the bottom drawer compartment but it didn't budge.“I wonder why she locked it? It couldn't be underwear, coul
Once I scurried out of the kitchen, I took a quick peek in the kitchen and noticed a familiar face busy with the cooks, waiters and maids. Penelope was there, probably getting dinner ready for the afternoon as she should, after all, she is the head maid of the manor.I left before she would notice me, I was a bit unsure about meeting her so soon, especially after the last conversation we had. I didn't want to bother her, and I still had something important to do, something urgent.“Then again, a little exploring wouldn't hurt anyone, I still have time.” I thought to myself as I wandered the great hall.To the right of the great hall was the living room, it was just as big as the great kitchen and it consisted of luxurious decors like beautiful wallpapers all across the walls, different colours of crystal lanterns for traditional lighting, three different bronze wall arts, rich wood cupboard, armchairs, stools, an octagon table and a leather sofa.I walked in and closely inspected the
Over the past five years, Night's Eye has always been an anonymous guild that worked extensively in the shadows. Staying in the shadows, truly unknown to the public.However, one of the founders as well as a valued member of the guild kept making waves in the ears of the people of Gladia. It was Crystal Moon.Crystal had achieved a certain famous reputation for saving an incredible number of Gladia's commoners from assassins, evil nobles and crime bosses. She had become so widely known and yet even she, herself, didn't seem to know about it.I couldn't remember when exactly but her fame seemed to grow exponentially when she saved a group of poor innocent 14-year-olds, that were being sold as slaves and pleasure makers for evil nobles.I believe she was just 12 years old at the time when she took down a notorious slave merchant called 'The Virgin Trapper'.The virgin trapper would lure and kidnap certain young innocent girls, preferably 14-year-olds, to sell them in the black market au
