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.

End of the First Week

The first week of class ended swiftly with a bottle of a deliciously brewed, cold tea. Faustina leaned into the chair as she lets the chatters of the students pass into her ear and then exit to the other. Slowly, she was getting quite accustomed to the regularities in her academic life.

The chatters of the student, scribbling of notes, random minor spells being chanted on practice, and the best of all, hanging out after school. Michelle, Leviticus, and Anakin were always set into exploration, though they would come back before it would even fall into the night due to their assignments.
