Caught Between Two Worlds

All Celestine ever wanted was to be someone powerful so that she won't be looked down upon. That was what she wished on a blissful night. And that very wish made her life go downhill years later ever since she came across a sacred pendant. When an invitation lands on her lap to the most prestigious university of Adrian, nothing could stop her from going there. That is until her life gets entwined with two men, the cruellest foes of each other which she wishes to escape from. But the universe paints a different picture. On a dreary day, she falls to her near-death and finds herself in the ancient land of Vitalis. With an unintentionally committed crime to her name, she must face the justice of the place where mercy is invaluable and death is inevitable and of little value. And so her trial begins at the mercy of the tainted hands of the Masked Tyrant. Alastair Arden Waldorf. Ruthless, cold-blooded and faceless. When things turn for the worse, will she be able to return to her land and not be involved in a terrifying history? Will she save, kill or escape from the tyrant to the other two men when he shall come for her? Shall love prevail between the two or will they stick to their time to avoid an inevitable curse? ~ WARNING: Mature Content (18+) Cover Design: imagineTishaD (Webnovel) Image Credit: fromKITnoc (DeviantArt) Want to support and interact with the author?

~ 119: Behind The Shelves - Part 1 ~

The female tour guide who clung to me now disgusted me. I had no wish to stay anywhere near her after hearing his damned words. If she was somehow related to him, then she would be spilling all the beans about me to him, who was willing to find some flaw and use it to his advantage.

I questioned the amount of truth in his words for I knew not who had appointed her. Asking the lady would be stupid as she would lie, perhaps too smoothly for me to make out. But I decided to try anyway.

"Does the knight have deep motherly affections for you, Miss?" I asked as we made our way to the west of the palace.

"Well, in a way, yes," she answered, taking me by surprise. "I had once been appointed for the maintenance of his room back when I started out in the palace. So, in a matter of time, I have come to see him as my son as well."

'Oh well,' I said with a sigh. 'She must either not have children or they might not be with her currently.'
