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.

Back in Feuersturm (Part 8/8)

The king stared at particularly nothing. Lilianne Disfiegro. At first he really didn't care whether who he was to be wed with. There were so much things that were on his plate. Marriage—that is one of the trivial things he didn't pay attention to. He had thought that marriage should just have three components: compatibility, meaning, and convenience. Lilianne Disfiegro had a hundred percent score in each of the criteria. Based on how she was assessed, she was the best partner to have. 

But now he was having second thoughts.

Why, so?

He was the king. This country that his late father and his predecessors have developed comes first. Feuersturm's state is the priority. Noah had already cast all his feelings aside, because as the first king had said—emotions could only hinder all his decisions and refrain him from taking the best course of action. Out of all the lessons he had heard from the first king, this was the first thing he found the most important.
