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 Unveiling of the Enemy (Part 2)

"How in the world did the baron become the enemy?"

"Aren't you all listening?" Lucas asks.

Owen scowled. "Not that I'm protectin' this Francois, but I've seen him couple o' times in the capital working on his inn. I mean, it's getting' common to even nobles to tend to their businesses." Owen explains.

"Now that you mentioned it, I also meet him quite a lot of times even when I'm lodging in Feuer manor," Lucas says. "So I don't think we can take his presence to account. He can't possibly be there just to wait for Faustina. How could he expect my sister to be there?"

Orwell's gazed from his spectacles. "We made reservations, Lucas."

"We did not specify who was lodging! We told him we needed a suite that could accommodate four people."

"Okay." He says. "But he attacked me. You should take that into account."
