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.

The completion of the ritual

Faustina couldn't remember how it all happened. All she knew is that after she figured that Anna Unsterblich was in league with the forsaken, everything turned black and her consciousness drifted to slumber. 

And in the darkness of her sleep, she saw a familiar figure. She was glowing.

Eula—no, "Mother—"

Faustina chased after her, but to no avail, the woman only left and did not bother to look back. Soon, she was gone and fluttered away into a butterfly, disappearing in the midst of the darkness.

"Mother!"

Waking up with beads of sweat dripping across her face, Faustina heavily panted. What was that? What just happened? She gasped, trying to figure out where she was. And as she came back to her senses, memories sunk right through her.

She then stood up, and as she did so, she heard a clank—

And that's when Faustina found out that one of her legs was chained.
