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 Summon

"Ignis. Glacies." The king conjured, mixing elemental magic. "Naturalis malum."

A mix of type one magic, fire, and the branch of aquatic magic—ice. He mixed them together, forming a magic akin to a natural disaster.

The magic then flowed into his sword.

He ought to end this sooner before the snake would cause more problem in the town.

The king then calmly sauntered towards the snake, and then even with a considerable distance, he swung his sword mid-air; a slash formed with the color of purple then dashed towards the snake—and without any minute later, the large snake's body was cut into half, with is head falling back to the lake. The ground shook as the lake water splashed from the fall of the large creature.

The king then turned to Faustina.

And that's when he noticed it.

Her impossibly pale face, with expression agonized in pain. Her lips had no color, and she had dark circles under her eyes. The king blinked.

"Faustina!"
