Sustaining the King's Life

COMPLETED. (WARNING: R18 on chapter 200+ onwards. This is a SLOW BURN ROMANCE. Read at your own risk.) ** On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. "Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy." To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence; similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed: A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead... and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid.

A Liar's Crystal

When Faustina was at the cabin, she and Eula encountered all kinds of people from the small town below—both kind and unkind, trustworthy and dishonest, good and bad; these people took the form of either the elderly who were senile and (sometimes) very patient, to adult men and women looking at their doings with discontent whilst they receive treatment and medicines.

But people from Nebel—the town below—were poor enough to rely on mountain witches for medicine, so they pretty much had no room to complain. Nonetheless, people are still people. Even if their mouths cannot say their discontent directly, it showed into their face. Eula said so herself that their distaste was even as clear as the river water in the forest.
