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.

Journey to Magierstadt

"Magierstadt's exam will be in a week," Orwell says. The early morning breeze of the oceanwater was evident on the palm trees swaying and dancing. The vivid sea was sparkling with the sun's rays like patches of small sunlight etched on the clear-blue waters. The ship they were boarding in was embedded with the Feuerlon emblem, a hawk that is in a fire, almost the same emblem as the royal family.

"It's the last exam." He exclaims. "Meaning you are a part of the last batch to take the test. I hope you reach the quota... even nobles like daughters and sons of viscounts aren't accepted in the academy."

"The exam will test your cognitive ability and your magical potential." He adds.

Faustina nodded, walking just beside him as they reach the docks.

"Magierstadt's entrance exam is a test of strength. Physical, mental, and mystical strength." He says. "This means you have to engage in battle, Faustina."
