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 aftermath of a drunken night

Hangover.

Faustina felt as if her head was being split open by an axe. Her legs were limp and wobbly like wonton, and she was disheveled. In fact, oddly disheveled. What happened last night?

"Right… I drank…" Faustina's eyes widened as she realized something. She drank. She then turned to the window—it was already morning! Faustina then stood up and hurried to the bathroom. That meant she skipped dinner, and the king had waited for her—

And as Faustina stumbled upon the mirror on the wall, memories then begun to flash in her mind.

Memories of the night she was drunk.

"Hehe. Noah," I buried my face in his hard abdomen. "You're so warm."

First there was silence, and then soon I found myself being lifted by Noah. He carried me towards the bed, and then he looked down at me.

"Are you mad at me, Noah?" I asked.

He leaned down to kiss me, but I stopped him with both of my index fingers. "Answer my question first."
