Over the next week of travel, I got to know Cassandra a lot better.She was the Second Princess of the kingdom, but she had been mostly overlooked.Her older sister, who was only born mere moments before her and looked completely identical, was the First Princess. Isabella Victoria Albatross.For some reason, I had very strange feelings towards that particular name...But I had no idea if it was the same person or not...Regardless, Princess Isabella was very kind to her younger sister.They were good friends. Although years of busy schedules and training to take the throne tore them apart. Cassandra was only looked at as a spare...Someone to look to if something happened to Isabella.The other members of nobility constantly bothered her for her looks and status.Many of them insulted and belittled her. They called her useless because of her family's fertility issues and even Cassandra's own lack of certain talents. The one's that her sister specialized in.Cassandra lacked certain
We were let in very easily because Cassandra had requested to see her parents upon her return prior to leaving.She wasn't looking forward to this conversation and wanted to get it over with.Cassandra quickly went over a few tips about etiquette with the royalty, and for the most part, I understood.Mainly, however, I would not be talking.As we walked towards the set of two thrones, Cassandra changed her way of walking into a graceful and well-practiced stride.I did my best to copy her in my own way.On the throne sat a man with icy blue eyes and brown hair. He had on royal attire and wore a crown atop his head.I was told that his name was King Ronald Balthazar AlbatrossNext to him was his wife, Queen Evryss Victoria Albatross.Supposedly, Evryss was from a noble house called Victoria. Which was where Cassandra and Isabella got their pink hair. It ran in the family.But they had Ronald's eyes. Evryss had dark blue eyes.I was astounded at the mature beauty of Evryss. She looked a
Cassandra led me through the castle and brought me to a room on the first floor.It was an elegant room with a large window that gave a nice view of the moat outside of the castle. Although the window was locked and had been nailed shut, for some reason.The bed was large and had a canopy above with curtains around it. I saw a bathroom on the right. And next to it, was a pair of dressers with a partition in the corner.I could see another door partially open behind the partition lead into a large walk-in closet.The carpets were a beautiful dark blue with white designs on them.In the back left corner of the room, I saw a single wardrobe sitting directly against the wall."Since you don't have anywhere else to sleep, you can join me!" Cassandra said."Umm...is that okay?" I asked."Hm? Why wouldn't it be?" "Because... Look, we're engaged! And you know... If a boy and a girl sleep together..." I said."But we've already slept together multiple times. Why is this different?" Cassandra
"I've tried killing you so many times, myself. So I decided to try something different..." Difar said.I looked on in terror as Valthiem stepped forward.Her horrifying gaze looked into my very soul. I was frozen by it...and I couldn't move at all."Y-you can't be serious..." I said fearfully."Oh, I'm deadly serious. I want you to stop making trouble for me. If you didn't exist, my conquest would be simple! So, you simply have to stop existing. Valthiem, devour him for me," Difar said."I...obey..." Valthiem said.She lunged forward and before I could even scream, her hand changed into a gaping maw of sharp teeth and it closed around me...Just like it had for Gavin...moments ago...Suddenly, I found myself in a place of complete darkness and silence.I couldn't breathe. I couldn't see or feel anything.And then...I felt my body falling apart.Oddly enough, I could still see my hands... They were disintegrating before my very eyes.I tried to scream for help, but I heard nothing.Eve
After that day, we began practicing constantly.Cassandra managed to keep it a secret that we had been sharing her room, and we grew even closer.She couldn't decide if she preferred to sleep in my arms or if she wanted me to sleep in hers.I enjoyed both, but wasn't ultimately concerned with it.Sometimes, the two of us would practice fighting in her room.That also had a lot of negative feelings that came along with it...And shortly after we began, Cassandra refused to spar with me in her room. I was a bit let down, but she promised to train with me once the wedding had finished.Additionally, once the time drew close, we began to practice for the wedding itself.Cassandra decided that she wanted it to be a fairly small and private event that no one other than family would be attending. Unfortunately, it did mean that the Victoria family would be here.Most of them really did have pink hair. Even the men. But since Cassandra hated the other noble families, they wouldn't be attendi
As Cassandra prepared her tools to once again torture her current victim, the woman she'd caught looked on in horror."I'm...so sorry... Please...no more..." She said."Well well... You're a bit too late for such things. Trying to sneak into my room and threaten me at knife-point to have your say with me... To what end? Didn't you realize there would be consequences? I am in line for the throne of a nation! Furthermore, how am I to produce an heir with another woman?" Cassandra said angrily.Simply because this woman continued to piss her off, Cassandra thought about gouging out her eyes next.Then she wouldn't even have the pleasure of looking at her.All of a sudden...Cassandra stopped dead in her tracks.She saw the visage of horrifying black dragon as rapid images and memories began to flow into her mind.All accompanied by a horrible screeching noise and the roar of a dragon.She gritted her teeth as she felt her head pound like it was splitting open."Ngh...what... What is this
As soon as I died, I felt myself split off of...myself.I was cast into a dark place and slammed into the ground.I didn't know how long I was out...but when I opened my eyes, an old man was leaning over me."You sure had it rough. But you were probably one of the luckier ones. Welcome to the graveyard," he said."Grave...yard?" I asked as I looked around.It was a plain field underneath a pitch black sky. There weren't any graves or grass, just dirt."You're new, so let me explain something to you. You just died for the one-thousandth time. You are Mizik number 1000. But some of us have already taken to calling you 1k. Get used to it, because this is your home from now on," he said.So many things were running through my mind right now as I sat up.This old man wore a simple white shirt and gray pants. He had facial hair and emerald green eyes."Who-""Mizik. My name is Mizik. Everyone here is named Mizik, so you should get used to calling us by our numbers instead. Basically, we're
"That was so confusing... There was a fan club for me!?" Cassandra said."Yeah. You would feel right at home there," I said.She was very happy to hear it.So happy, that she tackled me and kissed my lips over and over.Since I felt entirely torn between loving and being angry with her, I sort of just let it happen.Isabella is probably going to be pissed. But I'll be glad if she has the opportunity to, all things considered...Cassandra laid her head on my chest and closed her eyes."We need to discuss a few things, Cassandra..." I said."I know...but I just want to enjoy this..." She said."First of all, I still want to get Isabella back," I said."I thought as much..." She said."I owe it to her for everything she did for me. Still...if you're willing to come along..."She looked up at me and smiled."I will follow you forever, darling! After all, I am Mizik's slave. His possession!" Cassandra said happily.You're...not really a slave anymore..."Look, Cassandra... I probably shoul
