SHADOW AND LIGHT (CHIAROSCURO) SOMEONE DIES
I could have just left the room and that would have been fine. All I needed to do was step out through the doorway into the hall and find myself downstairs in the lobby, but no, I had to take care of something first, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.“Get me a piece of cloth, Paige,” I ordered“Pardon me, sire? Why do...–"“–It matters not! Get me a piece of clean cloth now!”“Err... At once sire!” He sprinted out of the room to get the material.“And oh! Don't forget to get a mop and bucket filled with water, gloves and a broom as well!” I yelled as he left.It took a few minutes but Paige arrived with all the tools I asked for albeit he was a bit tired. “Umm, sire? What do you need any of these for? Will it help us catch the culprits?”I put on the gloves, saying, “Umm... No.”“Pardon?” Paige tilted his head in confusion.“I just to get this damned closet clean! Now let me work!” I yelled at him and proceeded to clean the closet, starting with dusting off, folding
SHADOW AND LIGHT (CHIAROSCURO) THE SHAME OF MAN
The night had fallen. Paige and I had finally arrived at the bottom of the inn, the lobby.The lobby was used as a sort of bar and eatery that accepted customers and inn-staying guests.On a calming night such as this, the reconstructed lobby looked magnificent, with the newly made furniture, more intricately designed crystal lanterns, and well-dressed workers in black and white suits which were uniforms I designed myself.As well as the beautiful checkered design of white marble and glowstone tiles, the entire lobby of the inn was very attractive and professional in every way.I carried the weak Paige by the shoulder through the bustling area of old drunken men and loud youths. As I passed by the many occupied tables, I was surprised to have spotted a familiar face and... Bald head.It was Lord Ferdinand having fun with a bunch of other nobles with a numerous pile of empty ale cups on his table. He was completely drunk from all the ale and in the process of having his cheers with the
SHADOW AND LIGHT (CHIAROSCURO) A BEAST IN DISGUISE
Most of the people in the inn gasped at my sudden change of target. I could hear the innocent guy behind me fall to his knees and let out a sigh of relief. It seemed like I had scared him a bit.Right at this moment, I had the real culprit or should I say the bastard thief in my clutches, he was as tall as me, he had rough but fair skin, a bearded face with long sideburns, dark unkempt hair, amber eyes and upon closer inspection, a muscly physique.“H-How!? How did you know!!?" the thief gruntingly asked as he tried to struggle for air even as I continued to tighten my hold on his neck.“That's for me to know... And for you to suffer... Huh!?” I tightened my grip on him but his muscles suddenly bulged and he escaped my grasp.“Hmm...” I pondered as I carefully blocked the exit with my body.He looked around and didn't see any other way to escape, even the windows were somewhat locked, closed and guarded by the crowd of people surrounding us.The thief clears his throat while confronti
SHADOW AND LIGHT (CHIAROSCURO) AS A ROYAL I MUST BE BETTER
“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
SHADOW AND LIGHT (CHIAROSCURO) BEAUTY KILLED THE BEAST
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
SHADOW AND LIGHT (CHIAROSCURO) PRIDE OF A PRINCE
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
SHADOW AND LIGHT (CHIAROSCURO) KARMA'S A BITCH
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
SHADOW AND LIGHT (CHIAROSCURO) SECRETS IN THE MANOR?
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
