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.

First Steps

"Your majesty, how are you feeling?"

"I'm alright, Sheila."

Sheila glances to the king's pale face slowly gaining its color as magic circles lit up to his skin. The incantations she made was working. The markings were similar to a disappearing tattoo.

"Your body is requiring more and more enchantments," Sheila utters. "Nightmare is taking so much toll to your body."

The king smiled, and spoke a different subject as to avoid Sheila's statement. "How was Faustina?"

Sheila's brows twitched at the mention of her name.

"What of her?" Sheila retorted.

"Well, she's a child. Lotheringwood sent me a direct fire message telling me happenstances around the capital. It seemed like the Forsaken is plotting something,"

"What he is conspiring is beyond one could comprehend." Sheila exclaims. "The Diener des Lichts are investigating it, but I doubt we'll find anything more than him wanting to summon Eulalia Fortunatorum from death's door."
