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.

Special Chapter 1.2

"The young king's full of surprises, huh?" Says Nene, a newly assigned assistant cook. They were working in the castle's pantry—the home of rumors. Household of chinwags, the shelter of whispers, and the hottest stories Feuersturm can offer.

"Shh, Nene! The bread you're baking, pay attention to it!" says Gibson, the head cook. The sous chef giggled and then proceeded to taste test the food. They were preparing the king's dinner.

"It seemed he's not dining alone," Stella murmurs.

"How odd!" The others seemed to agree.

Nene was new to the palace, having been selected as an assistant cook because she was recommended by her father who was a government official working under the provincial lords. It took an effort to get her the position—she was a decent baker, and her father had the connections. But she wasn't just there to be an assistant cook.
