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.

"Faustina, how are you faring? Here I am, on the third document signage. Are you sleeping properly?"

The king crumpled yet another piece of paper and then exasperatingly—sighed. His sapphire-blue eyes darted towards another blank paper looking back at him like a haunting piece of nothingness reflecting his incapability to write a proper letter.

The study was filled with crumpled paper that spoke of multitudes.

The king was trying to write Faustina a letter.

A real one—to be exact. One made by paper enclosed by the royal seal. Not a fire message. A fire message containing only questions about her well-being would be odd. He tried to—and after thinking for hours of what he was going to say, he finally sent her with a single question.

How are you faring?

Really. What a joke. There wasn't any reply from Faustina, so the king assumed it was a translation of—

The king stopped as a mystic fire appeared right in front of him, flaring with a purple hue atop his desk.

A fire message.
