AlexaBaczak2yrCommentedCh 5 The Stranger- AlexaBaczak2yrCommented
writers get so nervous about going there these day. I love seeing a writer who not only goes there but goes there and burns down the whole city.
At his affirmative nod, she said, "take them to the torture chamber where their beloved king awaits them. Make sure no one comes out alive." - AlexaBaczak2yrCommented"Here, would you like to see it? Though I am not sure if you would recognise it in its current state. I told the girls to remove it carefully from your body. After all, it is a man's most prized possession, 'at least in his own eyes'. But they simply didn't pay heed to me. In their excitement, they just chopped it off. Then one of them took a needle to pierce through it and hung it above your head," saying so, she came towards him, with the brightly lit lantern.
- AlexaBaczak2yrCommentedShe looked at his confused face and couldn't help but take a jibe, "don't use your puny sized brain so much. It may burst due to the unprecedented pressure. As your loyal subject, it is my duty to help you understand the current situation."

ugh that description though
Entering the bustling hall which reeked of forced laughter, alcohol and barely leashed lust, he was directed to a corridor which was tucked away at the back end of the building and was relatively quieter. Vallabh was seriously getting second thoughts as he passed scantily dressed girls and gaily adorned eunuchs. The entire atmosphere was fake and bright enough to hurt his austere eyes. - AlexaBaczak2yrReplied to Editor_Akira

But he taught me how to sail the rivers near Pearl. How to lure fish to bring to our bellies and the market. How to make the best use out of our sheep. - AlexaBaczak2yrReplied to AlexaBaczak
There are a lot of interesting things I want to research in this area, but what I know now is enough to write the scene.
I was able to properly assess the situation then. Two constables and in hardier armor than usual. They really were prepared for Robin to be here. - AlexaBaczak2yrCommented
Historical note: I may edit this later honestly. Law enforcement in medieval times wasn't anything like it is today. Most guards were conscripted into service by their lord. This was still in the feudalistic era. So the men in Marianne's home wouldn't be particularly thrilled about being there either. They'd know her and know Neville. Especially in such a small village like Pearl. Pearl is completely fictional, but I based it around real medieval history based on archaeological and written evidence. This scene could be filled out more later.

Historical note: Trans people did exist in medieval times, although the records are scarce. One example is of a trans woman named Eleanor who was brought before a judge for sex work and forced to admit she was raised as a male child. Interestingly, the Latin pronouns always refer to her as female instead of changing once this was admitted. No form of gender reassignment surgery would have existed but there were certainly ways to present oneself as the opposite gender. I used a little bit of magic to make it easier for Robin.
She smiled. "I'll take that as a compliment. Several years of different healers and witches made sure I grew up as much a woman as I could. I told you. My mother was understanding. When my father took issue, he disappeared under strange circumstances. That's how she was. I mean, not everything could be altered, but I'm not sure I'd want to completely change anyways. Even if given the chance. Can't explain why not exactly. I'm comfortable, and something stubborn in me wants to prove there's more than one form of woman." - AlexaBaczak2yrCommented
Historical note: Medieval villages were extremely trade-based. Almost everyone had livestock or lived near them. Sheep were especially common because they could be used for clothes, meat, and sheep tallow could make candles. They were incredibly valuable, but easy to find and care for compared to cows or pigs. I do take a lot of historical liberties in Until Morning, but keep an eye out for my historical notes.

Historical Note: A nunnery was a word that both meant a convent AND a brothel. Telling a woman to go to a nunnery was an insult. You also see it in Hamlet when Hamlet tells Ophelia "Get thee to a nunnery."
Thomas finally stepped aside. "You'll need to go to a nunnery," he muttered, "If you don't marry and Neville dies." - AlexaBaczak2yrCommentedThe man leaned forward and then said, "If it's not tea, I am fine with coffee too."
- AlexaBaczak2yrCommentedThe girl kept touching Mars' penis with her hand like she was petting a cute animal in her dream. Mars felt all the blood in his body went to his manhood and he was ready to explode.

reading the sex scene comments on webnovel is a hobby in and of itself
"Call my name if you like what I do ..." whispered Mars hoarsely, after he had removed his lips from Emmelyn's to give her a chance to breathe. He quickly lowered his kisses to the girl's neck and left soft bites here and there that sent shivers all over her. - AlexaBaczak2yrCommented
You almost never see the mc be a virgin. But the fc is all the time. I really like this change of pace.
On the other side, Mars didn't actually know where to start. He felt like a little boy in a candy store. He wanted them all. He liked everything about Emmelyn! - AlexaBaczak2yrCommented
I love how he's left out that she tried to kill him
He forgot to ask her name. - AlexaBaczak2yrCommented
To be fair, my parents would also be concerned if I ever actually managed to find peace of mind.
Now, they were curious to know what did their son mean by 'peace of mind'. He was a thinker who always had so much in his mind, from conquering the next kingdom to preparing himself as the Draec's future king. So, having peace of mind seemed a bit unrealistic for him. - AlexaBaczak2yrCommented
