"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
A week after my talk with Isabella, I was still in shambles.She had truly and completely broken my heart.Cassandra worked diligently to comfort me in my time of great pain... Part of me was still pissed that she had taken advantage of my memory loss, but I was also still very much in love with her.I couldn't help it at this point. Besides, I was thankful to not be alone.Currently, I was laying in Cassandra's bed on her chest as she held me tightly.She was really beating herself up over this..."I'm so sorry... I feel like I ruined everything... I only wanted you to love me and look what happened... I'm such a despicable human being... Why do I have to be so greedy!?" She said through her tears.I sighed."Please don't talk like that, Cassandra. I can't be angry with you because I love you too much. You're not despicable and you aren't greedy. I'm glad I married you," I said."E-even if...I ruined your marriage...?""Honestly...we weren't married in this timeline to begin with. I
Luckily, we had already packed our things into our inventories.Cassandra and I quickly made our way out of the city and started moving towards the Kalsan border.Honestly, I was somewhat fearful of going there right now...I knew Valthiem was watching us and would notify Difar as soon as we arrived.We were about to be spending a lot of time with one of the two people I despise the most.I couldn't wait to get it over with...Currently, night had fallen upon us and we were in the middle of the deep forest between Albatross and the border.Cassandra planned to move as quickly as possible for an entire day and then rest when we had enough distance.I used the 'haste' and 'haste other' spells to make us faster.We were actually exhausted from running all day and currently had collapsed on the ground."We...made a lot of...progress...haah...haah..." Cassandra said."Yeah...we did..."I knew that we'd made at least four days distance between us and the capital.Unfortunately, they knew wh
"Mizik! And is that Princess Cassandra? When did you get here!?" My father said as he approached."Hey, Dad. It's good to see you again. Amelia too. Also, we just arrived," I said.Suddenly, both Ulysses and Amelia looked at me strangely."I...haven't introduced myself. How do you know my name?" Amelia asked."I've met you before, that's how," I said."Wait...is this coming from Warmage?" Ulysses asked."I'm Warmage. Or I was, at least... Before I was killed," I said."What have you done to my son!?" Ulysses said."I am your son, Dad. Warmage is Mizik. I merged with the one in this body. We're the same person, remember? I explicitly said that I was Mizik Iratus."Realization dawned on him."Oh...so how did you die?" He asked."That's a long story. Since I'm here now, we have some time to kill before our asshole of an ally shows up," I said."Well, how about you take us somewhere to talk then, Amelia?" Ulysses said."With pleasure. And...is it really okay for her to be here? I mean...s
