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.

This isn't our battle

"When you use that, you will be able to teleport wherever you see fit. Its consistency will become water, and when you step into the water, you will be teleported to where you want to go." He said. "Just keep it in your pocket, or somewhere near you…"

Faustina stared at Ezekiel. Ever since she met him, he had been someone who did unpredictable things. He had appeared in the most unexpected places, and he had helped her a lot of times too…

"So, this is our secret too, then?"

Ezekiel smiled warmly.

"I guess it is."

Ezekiel's amethyst eyes then stared at Faustina. For a while, he just stood there, looking at her.

"Faustina…" He said. "I've been meaning to ask this ever since the first time I met you…"

Faustina stared at Ezekiel intently.

"Why," his hand then found her cheek—he didn't touch her, nor did she felt his touch—but the gesture made Faustina blush.
