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.

Another Secret

Faustina knew that she shouldn't just come to the library without a backup, and so she prepared a line she would say when people ask her why she was coming to the main library in such an hour. As she walked she had rehearsed her answer, and it was impeccably flawless. There was no way they would find anything suspicious with such an excuse she has—

"What are you doing?"

"Eek!" Faustina shrieked as she turned towards the source of that voice.

Being illuminated by the passing firefly was the golden juxtaposing triangle earrings of a certain someone. And Faustina knew only one person who wore these unique earrings.

"L-Leviticus?"

Leviticus stared at Faustina, who looked utterly surprised.

Faustina's words juggled on her mind; she parted her lips to say a word, yet none came but a "you're here too?" question.

Leviticus tilted his head. "What do you mean I'm here too?" He then looked around. "Are you expecting someone?"
