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.

Faustina woke up from her deep slumber without feeling refreshed or anything of the sort. In fact, she felt rather tired than she had ever been before. Was it because of the strain from the exam? She wasn't so sure.

"Maddie?" Faustina called.

But then, as she observed the place, she realized she was alone.

The curtains were still the same as they were last night, and everything just seemed to be a bit brighter in comparison. The balcony door was closed, and the sea breeze was swaying the transparent curtains, unfurling them into thin air. Faustina sat down, her body was still heavy and she was still feeling groggy.

The room was still a bit dark, but from the outside, the sun was impending to rise. Clothes over the distance were tinged with a red hue, like a distinct appearance of fall. Faustina stood up. Her bare foot had touched the cold floor.
