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.

Saved

Faustina encountered people of innumerable origins—not in terms of their races, but their 'origin,' as her master used to call it. When she was skilled enough to aid Eula in her recuperations to the town folk, she realized how people differ—and how they were still the same. People shared and did not share beliefs. They either had complete families, or they had deceased loved ones. Nonetheless, they all harbored the same purpose—to be cured, to ease their pain.

Despite this shared purpose, they too had different sentiments. Some, or almost all the people that had come to Eula, the only witch doctor they could gain access to, have been filled with doubts and uncertainties. They came to the cabin not because they wanted to go, nor did they trust the witch doctor residing inside.

They came because they had no other choice.
