The fate (Anastacius x Female Reader x Claude)
Chapter 5 : The Mistress's Child
It was normal for a wife to hate her husband mistress and their child, but for her, the mistress was the person who had treated her fairly instead of the husband. When the latter died during childbirth, the wife pledged to herself to raise her child with care and love, giving the child the affection and treatment she deserved but had been deprived of...
Female reader will be named as Celestial
Tumblr media
As always, Celestial hid behind a pillar to oversee a certain little girl who was approaching the Emerald Palace. She had observed the princess and noticed that she resembled Claude when he was a child, and there were no evident traces of Diana's characteristics except for her curiosity, similar to the latter and yet a lot of people did claimed the princess followed her mother features more. However, the princess did not take any precautions or seem concerned about the risks of being at the Emerald Palace, despite it being a place only for the Empress and the Emperor. Did she not feel scared if she accidentally met the emperor who had ignored her own mother?
Athanasia, a name that Diana bestowed on her own daughter before her passing from childbirth, also became the name that Claude used mockingly, being aware of its meaning as immortality. As if she was begging Claude to not kill their child. ​But, the crown prince had grown distant from Diana, not taking her feelings into consideration and only seeking for himself. And so, as Claude claimed to have lost a lot and could not bear to lose any more. Then, if he killed his only child, would he did not do anything except for losing some more? Celestial had lost her freedom because of Athanasia and Diana, but still she could not help but worry about the princess' fate.
"I am willing to do anything of your choice. I will support you with all my strength. I will be a good wife in exchange for saving the life of a child who was born innocent and free of sin. I beg you to have mercy and spare her, Claude. She is a pure being who only needs to be protected,"
Celestial pleaded as she hoped for the princess' safety. She could not help but feel the sense of urgency to protect Athanasia who was motherless and help Claude understand that this would be the right thing to do.
Celestial, despite having not bowed before anyone in her life, was now kneeling on the floor before her egoistic, monstrous husband. She lay her forehead on the ground in order to plead with the emperor to spare the princess' child from being killed. The scent of blood and corpses was overpowering and unpleasant, but Celestial remained to make sure that the innocent princess was protected. She could not risk it, having the sense of urgency to protect the pure and precious life of a child, despite her hatred for Claude. She had to save Athanasia with her very life.
Celestial refused to look at her husband, knowing that he was looking at her with hatred and anger. The surroundings were tense, due to the emperor's anger and the tense situation at hand. Knowing Claude, Celestial was fully prepared to sacrifice her own life to protect Diana's child, which she held so dearly. The mistress of her husband, Diana, was a kind person who was by Celestial's side when her husband neglected her and mistreated her. Because of her deep care and affection for Diana, she would go to any lengths and give her life to save Diana's child.
"Her name. Tell me,"
Claude ordered coldly, increasing the tension in the room and causing Lily to tremble in fear. She was desperate for her life and the newborn baby too. As they were the only ones alive amongst the sea of corpses, the Emperor's focus was firmly upon them. Lily was so terrified that she began to speak, answering his question with all her might, hoping that this will appease him and spare her life.
"Athanasia, Your Majesty," was the answer she gave, hoping that it was enough to keep her alive.
"Amusing. I wonder how long this thing can live in accordance to its name." Claude, upon hearing the response from the maid, chuckled madly and turned around to left the room without a second thought. He did not bother to look back, and in a stern tone to regard his wife. Knowing that Celestial gave him an offer to let the princess live, Claude finally agreed to this in turn for her devotion. He seemed to be satisfied by this outcome as he got to chain his wife by his side as long as he desired.
"And I would take your offer to me to let that filthy thing live"
While the palace was full of tension and conflict, it seemed that Athanasia enjoyed her time there. The little girl, having turned five years old this year, felt like a big girl as she was actively engaging in thievery of the palace decoration. The empress, could not help but notice her efforts to steal some decorations from the palace. In fact, she was so exposed in her position that anyone could locate her. Celestial, noticing her acts, tried hard to conceal her laughter, for she felt joy looking at the little princess engaging in such antics.
"I never know our guards are this incompetent that a thief can trespass into the main palace?"
Athanasia was caught off guard by a voice behind her. She then turned around, adorably showing of her doe eyes as she stared pleadingly at Celestial, who had witnessed her multiple times committing such sinful acts. Knowing that Celestial was aware of her daily activities, she hoped for her mercy and tried to gain sympathy by looking appealing and cute to her. However, Celestial had already grown accustomed to her thievery and antics, and the fact that Athanasia had gained a large collection of stolen items in her pockets had become a routine matter for both of them which the empress gave her full support for the girl. Let's make the palace be poor!
"Auntie, please don't tell anyone. Athy will give you my precious chocolate. Please keep this a secret," the little girl begged Celestial, referring to her as 'auntie' as she never know the true identity of the woman who she had met since a week ago.
"Is it the chocolate that you steal from the kitchen?"
"It already in my hands so it is Athy's!"
"You're funny. Am I not giving you enough jewels yesterday?"
"Athy just love pretty stuff so much that Athy wants it to be mine! Auntie is pretty too! Athy loves your hair and your eyes the most. Athy loves Auntie the most!"
Celestial knew the princess wanted her to keep her thievery a secret, but it was fun for her to tease Athanasia from time to time. In a way, being with this little girl had brought life to Celestial's darkened world, and she was glad to spend proper time with someone who was open and honest in their thoughts. She knew that the princess was a little wild at times, but it was far more enjoyable to speak to someone who was sincere and innocent compared to communicating with an adult with hidden agendas.
"Athy, I have a present for you for visiting me again, please extend your hand to me," Celestial told the little princess, who was more than happy to accept the gift.
"Is it bigger and sparkly than yesterday?" Athanasia asked with excitement, clearly expecting a magnificent gift as she had gained many trinkets from her previous visits.
"It is better than yesterday, Athy," Celestial replied with a smile, indicating that the gift would be better than what she had given Athanasia the day before. She gave the princess a little pouch, which she took in her hands curiously.
"It's not a jewel or gold?"
"Open it. I assure you will love it a lot"
Athanasia, the little girl from the royal family, opened the pouch with a sense of doubt, as she had certain expectations when it came to gifts such as this. She considered only gold and jewels to be worthy gifts to receive, as they were the only things she deemed to be invaluable for her future. The princess was not easy to please when it came to gifts, for these precious items were crucial for her future, and she wished to find out whether her expectations would be met.
Athanasia, the princess, was overjoyed when she opened the pouch and discovered that there were endless amounts of gold and jewels inside. She was overwhelmed with joy at the sight of the precious items and was amazed at the seemingly endless space inside the pouch. She was thrilled by the knowledge that she would no longer have to struggle with hiding the items she had stolen, for the pouch's space could hold everything with no one being able to notice. She thought that the gifts that she had been given were more than worthwhile, for they had truly exceeded her expectations.
"It is a limitless space inside the pouch so after this, you can put everything inside the pouch instead of your pocket. No one will notice if you steal anything more after this"
"Athy loves it! Thank you, Auntie!"
The princess hugged Celestial and gave her thighs a tight hug, as a way to show her appreciation for the gift she had just given. Celestial, in turn, also enjoyed the hug for it was a way of bonding and communicating with the little princess. She would also look forward to more future interactions, for the time she had spent with Athanasia had been an important and precious experience for both of them.
"I'm glad that you love it" She caressed the little girl hair gingerly to return her action. Celestial and Athanasia were in their own pleasant world, being completely unaware of the presence of the two individuals approaching them. However, they were soon pulled back from their dreamy moments when they heard a loud voice coming from somewhere nearby. It seemed that the princess and Celestial were not the only ones in the room, for two individuals had arrived and spotted them from a distance.
"What is this filthy bug doing in my palace?" The two girls turned to face the source of the voice, curious to see who had spoken out in such a way. It was non other than the emperor, Claude De Alger Obelia

First Night Interview (Heartslabyul and Scarabia Ver.)
Tumblr media
Question: How did you spend your first night with your wife?
Ace looked at the question in horrified.
Ace: WH-WHAT KIND OF A QUESTION IS THAT! WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU?!
Deuce: Bet you were just sleeping like a log. *
Deuce smirked at Ace as he folded his arms, literally mocking him. Irritated with Deuce remark, Ace did not back down.
Ace: HUH! EXCUSE ME! We diiddd it all night longggg! Tch! (I'd be dead if my wife knew about this) Bet you struggle to even hold your wife's hands.
Deuce: ME-ME?! Me... My wife and I... spend a heated night *blush furiously*. It's the first night of the wedding after all. It's bound to happen. *Super proud face*. How about Trey-senpai and Cater-senpai?
Trey: I don't think I can say much. My marriage happened during Christmas so both of us were busy with all the orders from the bakery. We just passed out late at night and wake up early tomorrow morning for another batch of orders.
Cater: That's sounds pretty tiring. Good, you have a supportive wife. You should buy her a cute gift as a reward.
Trey: I already did.
Cater: What did you give? Something branded? Expensive? Trending?
Trey: There is no need to buy when I can just provide the thing for my wife.
Cater: You must bake something and use your unique magic to impress her.
Trey: Something like that. Now, stop focusing the conversation on me, Cater. It's your turn. Don't avoid to answer.
Cater: Uhuu..Did I get caught? I also have nothing special to share. I only remember taking multiple pictures of my wife. She's too beautiful and photogenic for me to stop.
Deuce: Really senpai? But I don't notice you update anything in magicam that night.
Cater: Not everything should be posted, Deuce-chan. It's a memory that I want to keep for myself.
Deuce: Please drop the chan :(
Riddle, who was listening to the conversation could not hold himself back anymore
Riddle: All of you... I tried to ignore it but I couldn't anymore. DID YOU GUYS BREAK THE CURFEW?! This is an embarrassment for ex-students from Heartslabyul. A DISGRACE!
Everyone was shocked with the ex-dorm leader outburst.
Deuce: Riddle-senpai, do you still follow all the 180 rules?
Riddle: It's 810! How can you forget about the rules! This matter is not something to take lightly!
Cater: That's Riddle for you I guess.
Riddle: My wife is not like you rule breakers at all. She follows all the rules really well. It was right for me to rely on my mother in choosing my partner.
Ace: YOU IMPLY THE SAME RULES TO YOUR WIFE???!!!
Riddle: It's something to be expected alright. When the clock hit 10, we go sleep punctually. It has been 1 month of marriage and we always did that.
Trey: Did you really just sleep, Riddle?
Riddle: I don't see anything worth to do except that. Besides, I finished all my tasks early before bed.
Trey: Your wife don't say anything? Like giving you the cold shoulders.
Riddle: When I think about it... She did act differently the next day but I don't know why. I tried to ask but she always said she's busy or I need to figure it out by myself.
Ace: Congratulation on having the first couple fight
Riddle: Wh-what do you mean by that, Ace?
Cater: Just ignore him, Riddle. Let me help you solving the problems. I already share some links with you. You just need to watch and you will understand your wife better.
Riddle: Will it works? *About to click the link*
Cater: *Close Riddle's phone as fast as he can* Please remember to not watch it in public.
Tumblr media
Kalim: What are you guys doing? Can I join too?
Trey: I don't think you should involve yourself in the conversation Kalim. This will taint your innocence
Ace: We talking about everyone's first night. Please share with us your experience too, senpai
Trey: Ace! You-!
Kalim: Ohh about that! Of course, I spent the entire night with my beautiful wife. She teaches me a lot of ways to cuddle. We keep each other close not only that night but the entire next 2 days! And we-!
Jamil: KALIM! STOP TALKING! (Immediately cover his mouth and drag him away before he can describe the entire situation. Meanwhile, Riddle was busy taking notes inside his head. Cuddle all night doesn't sound so bad)
Cater: What about you, Jamil?
Jamil: I don't want to share anything but my wife admit I'm a husband material *Smug smile*
END
This is my first time focusing my writing on dialogue more instead of description. How was it? While doing this, I got some ideas to write one-shot for everyone of them in regards of their first night. Might be writing a new series huhuhuhu.

Second Male Leads Are all Yanderes but I Won't Rest Until I Win My Love Back (Female Reader x OCs)
CHAPTER 3
Tumblr media
Story will start after the synopsis
Every second male lead who appeared in this world had a hidden yandere side that can emerge at any moment and turn them into a twisted and obsessive villain.
As someone with a severe case of the "second male lead syndrome", you are determined to pursue your love for the second male lead, leaving the original male lead to become the second.
While you were busy chasing after the second male lead, the original male lead kept on bothering you and trying to get you to choose him instead.
"Don't you dare to come any closer!" You snap at the original male lead, your tone sharp and firm.
"Oh, and who's going to stop me? You?" The yandere stares at you, a menacing look in their eyes, as their body slowly moves closer.
"Too close! Step back!"
"Your words mean nothing to me. You can't control me. I will come as close as I please, you can't stop me."
As if a yandere was not enough, when you chose to ignore the original male lead, another second male lead suddenly entered your life, further complicating the situation.
The yandere and the upcoming second male lead both seem determined to have you for themselves, and they were both very possessive and pushy in their approaches to you.
You just wanted to be happy with your true love. Yandere or not, you would stick with your crush!
CHAPTER 1 << CHAPTER 2 <<
CHAPTER 3: FLOWERS
Adrian was the second male lead in his life, never getting the spotlight for himself. He lost to Cyrus in winning Liesel heart but it was one of the reason you to pay attention to him. It was out of pity at first. With time past by, the pity grown to a feeling called love until you followed Adrian around even after your graduation...
"I'm an excellent Adrian fan! No one is as successful as me!"
You proudly talked to yourself as a source of motivation to start the new day. In your hands there were several fresh flowers of blue Myosotis, ready to be presented to your love. After taking a deep breath to collect yourself, nervously you knocked several times on the door, strengthening your heart for the upcoming view.
The door opened from inside, and a sleepy Adrian appeared in front of you, rubbing his eyes and as he did so, you tried your best to resist the temptation from ogling at him. The top three buttons of his white shirt remained undone, which your eyes naughtily stopped particularly on his chest that was exposed at the gap of his cloth. You should pour holy water in your eyes after this and repent!
Adrian's chest was not overly muscular, nor was it so bulky that it puffed out of his body proportion. The firm shape of his chest complemented his overall soft look and delicate demeanor, as his tall body gave him a distinguished aura. Overall, his body proportion was trillions out of ten.
His bed hair appeared to be slightly messy, with several strands of his bangs covering his eyes, while others poking out of place. What a cutie pie. A very adorable guy and this guy was the love of your life.
'Stay strong my heart. You should already prepare yourself. This is not the first time for you to witness such heavenly scene! Yeah, it's a scene from heaven, there is no need of holy water'
"Y/N? Is it morning already?..." Adrian mumbled sleepily, leaning his body against the door frame, with his arms crossed which just exposed more of his chest. Di-did he just flexing his chest to you?!
"Sorry, for greeting you this way..." He apologised, his eyes still having a sleepy look to them as they drowsily wandered over to you.
No no no, this was Adrian, the soft, gentle guy that ever existed. Before you could droll over the sight any further, you trembly closed your eyes. Adrian deserved a respect especially on his privacy.
"Mo-morning, Adrian. Sorry for disturbing your sleep. I am much earlier than the other days. I've got to go to the market after this."
Maintaining your closed eyes, you held out the bouquet of flowers towards him. "This is the flowers for the person I always love. I handpicked it myself early this morning to give you only the best. With all my heart, I love you, Adrian." Again, you confessed to him for the uncountable times with no expectation for reciprocation.
"Thank you, Y/N. I appreciate your feelings"
Adrian was about to take the flowers from you, but he noticed how you kept closing your eyes without looking at him properly. Your actions were unusual, as you usually had maintained solid eye contact with him during your interactions. His hands halted in mid-air as he observed your behavior, not knowing what was going on.
"Why are you closing your eyes, Y/N?" It was a genuine question that was out of concern and yet you flinched in panic as you could not bear to share your abnormal thoughts with your crush.
'Seeing Adrian in the morning is already a challenge but to view such a scene is something I'm never prepared to'
"It's for my own mental and physical health. There is no need to worry." Indeed, the best answer for the current situation was to make it as vague as you could, hoping that he would accept this explanation and not dig any deeper. However, Adrian was not such a guy to simply brushed everything off.
"Are you sick, Y/N?" Detecting a warm breath on your face, you instinctively opened your eyes and saw Adrian right in front of your face, looking at you worriedly. Immediately, you raised the flowers to filled the gap between both of yours faces as you took multiple steps back.
"I'm fine! Please, take this" Adrian's eyes widened, and he seemed surprised that you were literally blocking his view of you.
'No, I'm not! Ahhh, this is an opportunity to be closed with Adrian. Why did I take step backs out of reflection. You will get a punishment today legs.'
His fingers lightly graze over yours as he confusedly took the flowers while trying to figure you out. When he brought it closer to his chest, did you look at him properly back. He looked down at his chest area and found nothing odd at all.
Before you could bid him goodbye and take care of your pitiful throbbing heart, he asked a seemingly harmless question that triggered a terrible response from your heart.
"Y/N, could we go to the market together?"
Boomb! You heart had exploded from excitement.

CHAPTER 1 <<
CHAPTER 2: THE REJECTION
"It's alright Adrian. My love is only for you"
"I know and that's the reason that I love you too, Y/N. Your love is the only one I desire and need,"
His tone was full of genuine emotion and sincerity, as he acknowledged and accepted your feelings towards him. His words carried a gentle and caring presence but also a sense of affection and love as he held your chin, gently drawing your face closer towards him and gave you a sweet kiss and!-
... If only Adrian would reply with such a kind and accepting response, you would had screamed in joy. You would even die from happiness. It had been countless time since you confess your love to him but his reply had always remained the same...
"I'm sorry, Y/N." Adrian replied, his tones were gentle and empathetic "But... I appreciate your confession" He continued, only replying out of courtesy.
A tissue would not be enough to amend your broken heart. Where was the bucket for your tears to collect all your pain and sorrow? This harsh reality was too much to bear. You wanted to weep due to this rejection!
You wiped the crocodile tears at the corner of your eyes with your handkerchief. Whenever, there was involvement of Adrian, you would be this extra dramatic. It was not like you did not know the result, but it hurts too much to face your real emotion.
"I figure you will reject me, Adrian," You hide the lower half of your face with the handkerchief as you stared at the ground in despair. "What to do... fate do this awful things to us but I will not succumb to such awful setup! That's why please be patient in receiving my confession again. I'm confident with my endless dedication, you will eventually accept me."
You took Adrian's hands in yours and shook them excitedly up and down. It was a little rude but your crush was too kind to reject your action. Instead of being mad at you, he simply smiled and lightly let his fingers the back of your hands as a soft chuckle escaped from his lips. It was so melodic with the "ha ha ha" rhyme. A true masterpiece!
'My man is a true angel! No, angels are existed because of him!'
He smiled at you as he understand you were trying to cheer him up after the unfortunate event of earlier. His close friend and crush were still engaging in a conversation that he never wanted to hear.
Why they did it when he was with them? Should he be happy for his best friends happiness? Then, what about his happiness? Squeezing your hands in response to his sadness as he looked back at you, still maintaining the soft smile that never reached his eyes.
"Thank you, Y/N, for being by my side" Adrian sincerely said from the bottom of his heart. Your lips formed a smirk as you decided to tease Adrian, a hint of mischief in your tone as you chose to brighten your crush's mood.
"Is that an invitation for me to be by your side 24/7 per hour?" You asked playfully, eyes twinkling with delight.
"Not that long though." He chuckled, "You cannot enter the boy's dormitory."
"I can disguise as one!" You giggling as you imagined the possibilities. "We can even share a room and spend the night together! Just thinking about getting to talk with you till night make my blood rush..." His cheeks reddened slightly at the words you had just said.
He released your hold on his hands, gently running his fingers through your dark brown hair as he removed some leaves. His gestures were gentle and caring, as if he was handling a delicate porcelain doll. This was the guy you always loved, gentle, considerate and kind. Happiness and affection welling within you as he continued to run his fingers through your hair.
"A young lady like yourself should not spend the night with a man alone, and you will immediately get caught by the guard, Y/N. A pretty lady like you would be too radiant for a person to ignore" Adrian warm warning and compliment made you blush more. You could not help but to stare at his beautiful pair of blue eyes.
'Did Adrian just call me pretty? I can feel flowers blooming in my heart! Is that even possible?'
Instead of spending time with his close friends like usual, that day, Adrian spent his entire day with you. He even drew a portrait of you beautifully, depicting the rich dark brown of your hair. The portrait was so lifelike that it looked as if it had been taken from a photo.
However, you were born with dark brown eyes, just bit lighter from your hair colour. It was not hard to get the colour right given Adrian dedication for his paintings.
'But why, Adrian? My eyes are not purple like Liesel...'
You tempted to rip the painting apart but it was a gift by Adrian. He consciously rejected you and even he subconscious mind did the same. You still kept the painting carefully in your diary... only after you poke holes at the eyes area. The painting look creepy with hollow pair of eyes, but it was better than having those purple things staring into your soul.

You tempted to rip the painting apart but it was a gift by Adrian. He consciously rejected you and even he subconscious mind did the same. You still kept the painting carefully in your diary... only after you poke holes at the eyes area. The painting look creepy with hollow pair of eyes, but it was better than having those purple things staring into your soul.

The Unending Daze Part 5 [END] (Malleus Draconia x Wife Reader x Ace Trappola)
Tumblr media
Chapter start after trailer*
>> Trailer <<
"My darling wife, the joy you have brought me throughout the years is without compare. Our children are fortunate to have been gifted with such a loving and caring mother as you,"
Malleus spoke with affection, his voice like honeyed words that melted the hearts of everyone that heard it. He leaned down to kiss your forehead, his warm breath brushing against your skin.
But just as you were getting used to this blissful scene, your old friend, Ace arrived in an unexpected turn of events. He claimed that he was your husband, which left you perplexed and bewildered.
"Wait a minute, that's not right! I'm your real husband! He's just trying to manipulate you with a dream. Wake up, now! Our children need you! I need you, Y/N!"
You were unsure how to proceed, caught in the middle of a confusing situation. In this situation, you feel conflicted and uncertain about whether your old friend or your darling husband had spoken the truth
>> PART 5 <<
"Ace," Even as you attempted to speak firmly, a deep yearning and sorrow filled your voice. "Your presence is not needed here," you dejectedly said, your eyes fixed on the ground. No, you had never meant to say that, you really wanted him to take you away from here but you knew, deep down, that this was for the best.
"What did you say?" Ace asked frantically, gripping your shoulder tightly as if trying to bring you back to your senses. "He tormented you again in this dream, right?" He demanded, but you remained silent. Ace frowned as he understood your response.
"I will bring you back. Every single time, every single dream you trapped in, I promise to free you. I promise our children that their mother will be back!" He exclaimed desperately again, his hold on your shoulder tightening even further as he tried to tug you back to reality.
He tried so hard to hold his tears. He could not take it anymore to not have you by his side. For a decade, he had tried to get you back but he failed so many times as he was not powerful enough at using his magic. Even his unique magic was useless to save you.
'I'm your husband but I'm so useless'
"I miss you, love..." Your heart wavered. "I miss your cooking, I miss your laughter. I miss your hug. I need you. We should not give up," His hold on your shoulder loosen as he pulled you into his arms and desperately held you close. "Don't give up on me, please"
There was a moment of silence as you hesitated and reconsidered your decision but you must choose the best action among the worst. "Ace, listen to me, please" Your firm voice softening slightly as you figured that you need to explain to this husband of yours the consequence of his action.
"We cannot fight Malleus. We've tried to escape so many times but we never succeed. I'm worried about you and our children's safety, Ace. I remember all the pain you need to bear just to save me. What if Malleus after you and our children in the real world. I'm very afraid, Ace. I want all of you to live well."
You gently placed your hand on his back, trying to offer him reassurance as the memories of him trying to save you from the endless dream played in your mind.
Ace took a deep breath, trying to keep his composure. He had not expected this conversation to head into this direction. "I know that we cannot defeat Malleus. The dreamscape is a powerful realm designed to keep you trapped."
"However," he continued, his tone growing firmer, "I refuse to abandon you either. We may not be able to defeat Malleus, but that does not mean we should give up. Instead, we will continue to search for a way. Even if it takes until the end of time, I refuse to give up on you. I will never sacrifice my wife."
He repeated, his resolve growing stronger with each word. You clenched the pendant tightly in your hand upon hearing his words.
"Well, well, well... I was wondering what had slipped into the area..." A dark, sinister voice filled the area with a sense of dread and urgency. Both of you tensed up with the sound of his voice and Ace tighten his hold around you as Malleus appeared before you. His bright, green, vertical-slit pupils shot daggers at Ace, visibly infuriated upon seeing him with his arms wrapped around his darling wife.
"You... Trappola... Do human don't understand the word of giving up. You stepped into my castle without permission not just once, but multiple times... That's too rude!" Malleus stated, his voice dripping with annoyance and hostility.
His tone made it clear that he had little patience or tolerance at this point. Thorns even started climbing up the wall of the castle. The atmosphere itself was growing darker with each passing second. Malleus power was overwhelming.
"It's alright, it's no big deal." Malleus stated confidently, with a smug and confident look on his face. "This is my magical realm, so I can make my own laws and decide how to punish any uninvited guest."
He had been far too kind and lenient towards Ace all the time, allowing him to come into his realm so many times without any repercussions. He figured it was time to put a final end to this situation. A magic circle form over his hand as he aimed it to hit Ace. He caught the look in your eyes.
'The same look as the night I take you. Look into those eyes. The very eyes that rejected me again and again.'
"Whatever, it's the same thing. No matter how many times he comes, uninvited guests will be turned away. Over and over again..." As he about to hit Ace, you screamed at the top of your lungs.
"Malleus, I choose you!" Ace's eyes widened in shock and disbelief with your declaration.
"No- Y/N-"
"HahahaHAHAHAHA I know you are smart. My darling wife, the joy you have brought me throughout the years is without compare. Our children are fortunate to have been gifted with such a loving and caring mother as you,"
Malleus spoke with affection, his voice like honeyed words that melted the hearts of everyone that heard it. He used a powerful gust of wind to throw Ace away as he came closer to you, his smile widened, his cold, ruthless demeanor unchanged as he stared at you tirelessly. He leaned down to kiss your forehead, his warm breath brushing against your skin.
"Wa-wait a minute, that's not right! I'm your real husband! He's just trying to manipulate you with all of these dreams. Wake up, now! Our children need you! I need you, Y/N!"
Ace desperately tried to make his way back toward you, but before he could, Malleus snapped his fingers and a powerful burst of magic unleashed. A dark, sinister essence surged through Ace's body and he was instantly transformed into pieces of wood, crumbling and disintegrating right in front of you.
The cruel and cold-hearted display of power sent a jolt of fear and panic through your thoughts. You were left stunned, horrified, and speechless by the sight before you. You just realised that you had just lost your husband to the cruel hands of Malleus.
"Sometimes, my creation do get out of character, my darling wife. I apologise for that. Oh and you don't need this right?" He took your pendant and burned it without care of your frightened gaze. "You should not remember someone who died after all." He chuckled as you hit the realisation of the truth. He grabbed your chin and brought his face next to you, enjoying your fear.
"Sometimes, my creations do get out of character, my darling wife." Malleus stated, calmly and casually, as if it was not a big deal. "I apologise for that. Oh and you don't need this, don't you?" He took the pendant from your hand forcefully and burned it casually.
"You shouldn't care about someone who died, after all..." He laughed and grabbed your chin, bringing his face close to yours as he enjoyed your fear.
"Your happy ending would only end with me, my darling wife" He whispered sweetly near your ear.

The Unending Daze Part 4 (Malleus Draconia x Wife Reader x Ace Trappola)

Chapter start from below trailer*

"My darling wife, the joy you have brought me throughout the years is without compare. Our children are fortunate to have been gifted with such a loving and caring mother as you,"
Malleus spoke with affection, his voice like honeyed words that melted the hearts of everyone that heard it. He leaned down to kiss your forehead, his warm breath brushing against your skin.
But just as you were getting used to this blissful scene, your old friend, Ace arrived in an unexpected turn of events. He claimed that he was your husband, which left you perplexed and bewildered.
"Wait a minute, that's not right! I'm your real husband! He's just trying to manipulate you with a dream. Wake up, now! Our children need you! I need you, Y/N!"
You were unsure how to proceed, caught in the middle of a confusing situation. In this situation, you feel conflicted and uncertain about whether your old friend or your darling husband had spoken the truth
>> PART 4 <<
Your fingers delicately traced the image of Ace and the two young boys, gently touching their features as if in remembrance. Soft tears began to fall, and you found that you were unable to contain your emotions.
Your shoulders trembled as you tried to hold back the tears that wanted to pour forth from your eyes. You did your best to conceal the sound of your sorrow, not wanting your husband to hear the sorrowful sounds of your heartbroken weeping.
You know that it was unwise to cry so powerfully over Ace, yet your heart was filled with profound grief and sadness. Only one individual might be able to provide an answer to your lingering heartbreak. Your husband, Malleus Draconia.
You had just started to shed some soft tears when the door behind you was opened and your husband's footsteps were heard approaching. This prompted you to gather up your courage and face him head on. You were determined to confront him and seek the truth, despite the fact that it would undoubtedly be a painful conversation.
"Dear, please tell me the truth about Ace" You remained silent for a short while, expecting some kind of response or explanation from Malleus. However, nothing was offered in turn, and you were left in a state of confusion.
"I'm missing you calling me that, Y/N" This was not Malleus deep voice. This voice was slightly softer tone, with a hint of tenderness and affection underlying the usual arrogance and attitude. You turned around and were stunned to see Ace standing before you.
"A-Ace?" You were absolutely speechless, watching as he walked towards you, the wound on his head already gone and embraced you with a tender but intense hug. He pulled you close into his arms, holding you as though he never wanted to release you again.
You were stunned by Ace's sudden presence, yet you were drawn to him. You were completely absorbed in his warm embrace, feeling a deep sense of comfort and solace as you unconsciously snuggled closer.
"I will tell you about myself, Y/N," he said, taking a deep breath to collect himself, "about us and-" He took the pendant in your hand, gently turning it over between his fingers,"-and our boys. This was when they were young. Now they are already attending NRC like we did before" he continued, his mood lightening as the memory brought a smile to his face.
Your head throbbed, a pain that felt almost like a distant memory trying to force its way upwards to the surface of your consciousness. You felt as if something was being blocked from your memory, as if a force was preventing something very important from emerging to the top of your conscious thoughts.
"Ace, It's hurt"
"Please Y/N, endure it for a while." He placed his hands over your eyes. Instantly, your vision was overtaken by a dark purple fog, with various images beginning to emerge amongst the haze.
The fog was reminiscent of the strange, vague memories that had been haunting you throughout the day, and as you stared at the images being shown to you, you felt another intense jolt of pain in your head.
"I will make you happy for the rest of our lives. If you marry me, there's no doubt that everyday will be filled with fun. Since we'll always be together, there may be times that we'll get into arguments but..." He paused briefly, considering his words carefully.
"-When that time comes I'll make sure to be the one to apologise. When you're sad or in pain, I'll be there for you, and I will always make you smile. I'm worthy man for a pretty woman like you. That's why don't look for anyone else and please marry me!"
"I feel like I want to throw up. Ace, are saying this as a prank? Show me where you hide your proposal cheat sheet!"
"Ahhh, jeez! I-I already told you... I'm being very serious alright! I even get roses for you. I've already hide my proposal cheat sheet somewhere very safe, where you'll never find it"
Yes, you never had any recall of the moment Malleus proposed to you like this... Another scene filled your vision as you continued to stare into the fog.
"Ace, why are you staring at me like that. Go now. You are late for your work"
"Do I need to tell you what I want, Y/N?" He sounded mad for a while but quickly, his ears became red as he averted his gaze from you. "Y-you forget... My-my morning k-kiss"
"You're late so no kiss today." You teased, bringing a playful smile onto your face. Ace grunted slightly in disapproval.
"How long for a kiss would be?!" You giggle finding his pouting face and shy reaction to be adorable. You couldn't help but tease him more, feeling a sense of mischievousness growing inside you.
Another memory emerged again...
"Are you crying, Ace?"
"Me? This is not tears. You're the one who cried" he insisted, wiping your tears away before placing his forehead on yours., minding the small baby in your arms.
"Thank you for accepting me and creating a family with me, Y/N. I rarely say this so hear well. I love you, Y/N"
As you came back to reality, you instantly knew who was your husband. Not Ace. Not in this world. You knew Malleus too well. This time you chose not to run but to fall deeper into the unending daze...

Second Male Leads Are all Yanderes but I Won't Rest Until I Win My Love Back (Female Reader x OCs)
CHAPTER 1
Tumblr media
Story will start from below synopsis
Every second male lead who appeared in this world had a hidden yandere side that can emerge at any moment and turn them into a twisted and obsessive villain.
As someone with a severe case of the "second male lead syndrome", you are determined to pursue your love for the second male lead, leaving the original male lead to become the second.
While you were busy chasing after the second male lead, the original male lead kept on bothering you and trying to get you to choose him instead.
"Don't you dare to come any closer!" You snap at the original male lead, your tone sharp and firm.
"Oh, and who's going to stop me? You?" The yandere stares at you, a menacing look in their eyes, as their body slowly moves closer.
"Too close! Step back!"
"Your words mean nothing to me. You can't control me. I will come as close as I please, you can't stop me."
As if a yandere was not enough, when you chose to ignore the original male lead, another second male lead suddenly entered your life, further complicating the situation.
The yandere and the upcoming second male lead both seem determined to have you for themselves, and they were both very possessive and pushy in their approaches to you.
You just wanted to be happy with your true love. Yandere or not, you would stick with your crush!
CHAPTER 1: THE CONFESSION
How would you determine for a man to be the first or second male lead? From behind a bush, you secretly watched a famous young knight professed his love to the most esteemed lady at the academy.
Confessions of love are a natural thing, it was everyone's right to develop such a feeling. However, how could you confess when you were hanging out with your best friend who had a crush on the same girl? We should talk about the timing there! 
There was a clear idiot word displayed on the knight's forehead in your eyes. His look also looks a bit stupid with a dump grin as he passionately confessing his love, forgetting his bestfriend altogether. Self-centeredness and idiocy were not a nice combination.
The girl appeared shyly glancing at him while softly playing with her eyelashes, deeply engrossed in the moment. Their surroundings were filled with a colorful display of flowers, bathed in the gentle rays of sunlight. What a truly perfect match.
'Hey, Liesel and Cyrus! My man over there, yeah, the one who is being ignored and neglected by you guys is having a moment of deep sadness and heartbreak right now. If you could please be the best friends that you're supposed to be and show some compassion and support, that would be greatly appreciated.'
You sighed with disappointment as both of them cannot hear your thoughts. It appeared that you were the one who must take action to save your man. Your crush hung his head low, using his glistening silver hair to shield his face from the painful scene unfolding before him. Hiding behind this wall of silvery locks, you could witness him hiding his tears. 
That was the difference between the male lead and the second male lead. One was a courageous figure, while the other merely existed in service of the female protagonist, loving and watching her from the sideline. As if she deserved such a title.
Despite the apparent contrast between the male lead and the second male lead, you found your true interest in the latter. You preferred him who was not as bold or confident, but who was always considerate of others' feelings. Even though all his paintings related to that famous girl, you still would like to declare that,
'My man finally is officially available!'
You made your way to your man, his head still bowed, tears still streaming down his face. You reached out a reassuring hand and quickly pulled him away from the scene. He appeared confused, and you flashed a triumphant glance in his direction, a bright smile upon your face.
"It's alright Adrian. My love is only for you"

The Unending Daze Part 3 (Malleus Draconia x Wife Reader x Ace Trappola)
Tumblr media
Chapter start from below trailer*
>> Trailer <<
"My darling wife, the joy you have brought me throughout the years is without compare. Our children are fortunate to have been gifted with such a loving and caring mother as you,"
Malleus spoke with affection, his voice like honeyed words that melted the hearts of everyone that heard it. He leaned down to kiss your forehead, his warm breath brushing against your skin.
But just as you were getting used to this blissful scene, your old friend, Ace arrived in an unexpected turn of events. He claimed that he was your husband, which left you perplexed and bewildered.
"Wait a minute, that's not right! I'm your real husband! He's just trying to manipulate you with a dream. Wake up, now! Our children need you! I need you, Y/N!"
You were unsure how to proceed, caught in the middle of a confusing situation. In this situation, you feel conflicted and uncertain about whether your old friend or your darling husband had spoken the truth
>> PART 3 <<
You could not remember anything from the night before. Your eyebrows were furrowed in frustration, and the only memory you can recall is preparing for bed alongside Malleus. However, today, Malleus was nowhere in sight, which is quite strange behavior for him. You began to wonder whether you made a mistake last night. Since morning, you had not even caught sight of him.
"Mama! You got that wrinkle again" Marcellus tried to straighten that wrinkle off your forehead, but as he touched you, you suddenly flinched with a sense of revulsion and horror. The feeling of those wooden hands running against your skin reminded you of the illusion of a puppet. You could not help but imagine your son's face as having a lifeless wooden form with smiley eyes, while you looked at him.
No, why did you even imagine such a thing? This was your youngest son, who always seems so adorable and innocent to you. His skin was just as fair as Malleus's, though his horn was not as sharp as his father's because it was still growing. He was the exact copy of Malleus, except for his eyes, which have your color and shape.
You felt a sudden suffocation as the imagery of your lifeless son flashes through your mind, overwhelming you and causing you feelings of intense guilt and shame. Your son's innocent smile and warm eyes kept on interchange with a cold and lifeless demeanor as it emptily stared at you. You just desired for a moment of escape, to get away from this place and find some peace. You were not a good mother at all.
'Get away from them!'
'They are not your family!'
You heard a dark voice echoing in your mind, warning you to stay away from your son, from everyone in this world. The voice was similar to your voice, almost like it was warning you of a danger lurking near you.
'Run!'
'Run! Be safe! Don't be caught by him anymore! Stop-'
You felt a growing sense of desperation, as your breathing started to quicken and your heart began to race. You wanted these voices to go away, to leave you alone here in your mind. Your mind became filled with this darkening gloom, and you could not seem to shake this unsettling feeling.
"Y/N! Come back to me!"
You heard someone call out to you with a concerned tone of voice. You felt a strong hold on your shoulder as they asked you if you were doing alright, but your mind was preoccupied with the voices that continued to echo within your mind.
You pushed the man away, wanting to escape from his hold and give yourself some space. You looked up to see a red-haired man staring at you with absolute panic and concern in his eyes. Immediately, you felt your eyes tearing up, and a sudden urge to cry came over you.
Despite your efforts to maintain your composure, the tears began to fall. Your heart started to pound with a slight ache, and you were unsure of the reason why. How could your friend, Ace, make you feel this way?
"I'm sorry I'm late Y/N. You have gone through so much" Ace's tone was warm and caring, and there was a hint of sadness and remorse in his voice. He tried to take a step closer to you, but you backed away immediately. You felt uneasy around him, and a sudden sense of familiarity was growing within you as you stared at him.
Your heart beat quicker, and you started to feel a sudden sense of panic and fear as you realised you cannot locate Levan and Marcellus. A sense of desperation grew within you as you looked around, hoping to see them somewhere. Your thoughts were scattered, and your emotions were running high, making it hard to think clearly.
"What are you doing here, Ace? Where are my sons?" You asked in confusion.
"You don't seem to remember me at all, do you, Y/N? I'm your-" Ace said with a sad expression and his voice sounded somewhat hurt when the reality of you not remembering him hit him hard. Before you could focus on him any further, a strong wind blew in and threw him into the trees, his body injured and blood running down his head. 
You could hear Ace whimpering and groaning in pain from where you were standing, and you felt your feet moving towards him, driven by a compassion that was beyond your control. However, before you could take another step, Malleus appeared in front of you, acting as a barrier between you and Ace.
You could hear Ace's pained groans, but you cannot see him anymore. The sight of Malleus, standing protectively in front of you with both Levan and Marcellus in his arms, blocks your view completely.
Malleus's voice is soft and reassuring, and his expression is one of genuine concern. "Are you alright, my dear wife?" He stares at you intently, keeping a protective grip on Levan and Marcellus.
Malleus's gentle voice filled your ears, and his reassuring expression compelled you to draw your full attention to him. The feeling of wanting to help Ace suddenly seemed to dissipate, and you felt yourself compelled to abandon your previous intention, instead immediately rushing towards Malleus, Levan and Marcellus.
However, the look from Malleus's eyes stopped you. His eyes had a look of wanting to destroy your old friend from NRC, which caused you to hesitate. The scene felt a bit familiar and yet you could not recall anything specific as it remained vague.
As you felt the draw and rush towards Malleus, there was a wave of confusion as Malleus's intense gaze fixed upon you, his eyes appearing to radiate hatred towards the wounded Ace.
Your mind struggled to make sense of the intense energy and emotions that you were sensing, and you felt a vague sense of familiarity with the situation. You felt like you should remember something specific about this, but you could not recall anything clear or concise.
'Don't you remember me? Please, don't play around like this.'
'I know I'm not a really good husband, and I admit it but I will be better. Be with me, please'
'I will never stop searching for you, Y/N'
'Y/N. I'm glad you are alright'
Your memories of Ace are still very vague, but his words seemed to have a familiar ring to them. Like you had heard him speak like this before, but you could not recall any concrete details about your relationship with him. Who was he to you? Why did he seem so desperate?
"My dear wife, you are safe now. I will finish the man off. No one should take you away from me." You watched as Malleus sets Levan and Marcellus down beside you, both of your sons appearing frightened and clinging tightly to your skirts with their hands covering their faces.
Your husband turned towards the place where Ace was last seen being thrown at, but there was no sign of him. Malleus's tone was still one of protectiveness and care, but the words had a definite hint of hostility and anger towards the missing Ace.
Later that night, you discovered a pendant sitting neatly upon your study table. Your curiosity compelled you to open the pendant, and a note fell out, scrawled in an unfamiliar hand. You read the words on the note, your breath catching in your throat as you realised the implications.
The note spoke of a desire to rescue you, and your hand trembled slightly as you glanced down at the photo enclosed within the pendant. The photo showed you leaning your head upon Ace's shoulder and your hands gently touching his. Beside the two of you, two young boys are sitting and smiling softly, looking as if they were enjoying the scene.

Last step part 2 (Leona Kingscholar x Wife Reader)
Genre: Romance
Continuation of Chapter 1 : First step (Leona Kingscholar x Wife Reader) and Last step part 1 (Leona Kingscholar x Wife Reader)
Tumblr media
Someone should keep her company during the day too and you hardly could do that now as you are responsible to take care of your state affair. Even in her weak state, she was calling out for her father and you could only caress the back of her hand to calm her down. You were lost as a single parent on the things you should have done.
You could not even sleep in the same bedroom as you used with Leona so you switch rooms although it barely helps. His death was not accepted by you and instead you push to remember him at all cost. You could not afford to be swayed by your negative emotion now. Not when your people need you.
So why did his images keep on appearing in your new room? It was as if he was alive and well just before he left. He was sleeping like usual in the bed on his side while facing the door. His big body already took the entire space in the super single bed. Was this a dream? Maybe his death was not a reality at all? Which one should you believe now? Leona groggily tried to open his eyes as if he was awakened by your presence.
"You took so long again. You should sleep to keep your health in good shape. Should I cuff you to the bed so you will sleep for the entire day with me?"
Leona's words sounded so familiar that you could barely move from your spot as you left standing with your back on the door. Although you did not reply to his words, he already turned to the other side and talked by himself.
"You think I'm joking. I will never joke around if it involves you, Y/N. I will not unwrap my arms around you till I know you get enough sleep."
This was horrible. This was a nightmare. You were tormenting yourself. Stupid unique magic. Why did you unconsciously use it at this time? You did not need to see images of Leona if he was not there at all. You closed your eyes and inhaled air multiple times to get control of yourself.
When you opened them back, Leona was not there anymore except for the empty bed. Most nights, you could not even sleep or go near your bed due to this incident that replayed all the time.
Your daughter did not even know her father was labelled as betrayer of the kingdom as you forbid anyone from mentioning any of it to her. For you, it was not true anyway as you did not want to believe it. You knew Leona better than anyone else and since you married him, he never tried to take the throne.
He felt bitter as everyone just regards him as the trouble maker prince but he still thinks Farena deserved to be the king. Something or somewhere was wrong. Your husband might be assassinated for all you could know.
Since the drought was still ongoing and your citizens were having a hard time surviving, you tried to supply their necessities by giving out things from the palace that might be helpful for their daily life. Even if you barely eat any food and just ask the servant to give it out to the people instead of you.
How could you even eat properly in this situation? You lost your husband and your daughter seemed still sick too. What was happiness without Leona in your life?
"Report" You commanded Ruggie as you were busy yourself reviewing another pile of documents. A lot of it contained the complaint of your country's condition and some of it was about the netizen asking for help for their dying family.
"A lot of families fell into despair as the number of deaths increased due to starvation and dehydration. Lot of families choose to leave the continent to search for a way to survive but others are still willing to stay to support the Royal Highness."
"It is that bad..." The mention of death managed to stop you from continuing your work. This has been going on for the last four month. If this still continues in the future, everyone could be dead staying in this land. The help from the palace was not enough as it was also in a state of hopelessness. Worst case scenario, you needed to beg for help from the main kingdom. The kingdom where Leona was born.
"How is my daughter? Is she good? I hope your son keeps her company very well." You were very worried about her condition as they were no sight of her being cured.
"She no longer cries a lot like before and she slowly opens up back to my son. Nowadays, they even play in the garden back."
"That's good. Very good. I will reward you plenty."
"I will not reject it, Your Highness" You laugh a little at Ruggie antics which stayed the same from the time you first met him.
"Ruggie, I want you to let your son stay in the palace for a while. No, I will prepare rooms for your families. Please bring them here and keep my daughter company."
"Your Highness, do you think it is wise-" You did not even let Ruggie finish his sentence as you do not want him to question your decision. This was the best path you had been thinking about after all.
"Ruggie, you know better than me that we need of desperate help by now. I cannot bear to be selfish now."
Without informing anyone including your daughter except your attendant, Ruggie, early in the morning while everyone was still fast asleep you set to go to the mainland, Sunset Savana.
"I don't think you should go alone, Your Highness. The danger is everywhere."
"This is my responsibility. We are also in-laws so I believe I will be safe. While I'm not here, you will be in charge, Ruggie. In a week, I will return."
"At least, inform the princess, Your Highness. She will be devastated about your leaving."
"Just tell her I'm busy with work. I will come back. Make sure nothing happens to her during my absence."
With that, you instruct the carriage man to move and you set to leave the home which you and Leona had built. Everything is for a better future. Everything is for the people of your country.
Upon your arrival at Sunset Savana after 3 days of your journey, instead of being thrown with hurtful words due to the rumours of betrayal your husband had done, they welcomed you with open arms, especially Farena's wife. You were very thankful that they were even willing to help to supply some food and water to your country.
"The past is the past. I cannot blame you for the act your husband committed." You could not reply with any words for the queen as you did not want to agree with it. If you agree, it means you are admitting that Leona did betray his blood brother which you deemed untrue. Leona is a kind-hearted person. To kill someone is out of his nature.
"You are so kind, my queen." Therefore, you choose to compliment her with simple words which just made the queen smile politely in return.
It had been a long time since you could fall asleep but that night, you found yourself in the unfamiliar bed. Your body finally gave in to the extreme exhaustion and you found yourself dreaming about your husband.
"Whatever you do, never spend time with the queen." Leona harshly said after he pulled you from the ball to a secluded place. His face looked so angry with his eyebrows furrowed that you could not even focus on your husband's face properly as you hung your head low.
Leona must be scared that your action might damage his bad reputation more. However, you had to make sure with yourself to practice etiquette until you excelled in it for his sake. Why could he not trust you this much?
"Promise you will never disobey my words, Y/N" Now, he just treats you like a servant. Huh, your marriage must be on the paper only.
"Yes, Leona..."
Immediately, you woke up from the dream and your heart could not stop from pounding loudly that caused you to inhale short breath. There were uneasy feelings inside your heart that you cannot interpret. Why do you suddenly dream about your past memory with Leona before both of you reconcile?
These unsettling feelings make you unable to sleep any further so you choose to take a walk during the night. As you were about to close the door, you heard noises coming from the queen's room. Your room was side to side as she mentioned there was no one except the two of you so might as well stay in the room that close by.
"Why choose to help her, Your Highness? They do not deserve our kingdom's benevolence" That voice sounds like the queen secretary.
"Everyone regards us as the better one so we should act according to people's view. You should call Cheka back. Everyone already believes the rumours so he has no need to be afraid anymore."
"I think Prince Cheka still needs more time to accept his wrong action. The former king death take a great tools in him"
"That kid should listen to his mother once. I already covered up his wrongdoings using his uncle as an excuse. He should be grateful!"
"You did the right thing, Your Highness. Everyone already dislikes Prince Leona. What is the damaged if dislike turn to hate"
You could not listen anymore as you took multiple steps back while covering your mouth tightly with your hands. Tears silently strimmed down your face as you digested the information you got. Your head was almost blank for a while.
You felt like you wanted to scream in distress. Your knees felt weak as you fell down on the floor. What on earth did you just hear?! They were using your husband to cover up Cheka's murder! He name was being used!
Why could no one appreciate Leona's existence? Why keep on throwing him bad words? Why use him to cover up someone else murder? Much worse announced him as someone who killed the king. What did he do to receive this disdain! Just because he was the second prince so it was fine to do anything harmful to him?!
You should run away from this place and return to your home. All of them were fake. Their kindness was fake. The dream might be a warning of their true nature. You tried to regain the strength in your legs to stand up back but the sounds of the door creaking stopped you.
"Have fun hearing everything?" The queen leaned on the door frame with her hand crossed across her chest, smugly looking down at you.
"How could you do that to him?! He is your husband's brother!" You retort back without concealing your true feelings.
"Because he is my husband's brother he would need to be eliminated"
"He already declares he will never take over the throne. You even use him to cover up your son's murder! Cheka the one who killed Farena! How can you call yourself a mother?!"
"That's why as a mother I took care of the situation. You think everyone wants a killer as their new king?"
"You tyrant! Insolent! Bastard! Villain!"
"You should learn how to take care of your mouth. No worries, I will help you until you forget how to speak anymore. Guards!"
You squirmed to let yourself free as the guards dragged you away. They keep on dragging you with force until you reach the dungeon in the basement. They harshly throw your body inside the dark cell and lock the door before leaving without saying anything.
You felt useless as you could not fight for Leona's rights. You cannot even focus on yourself now as your mind had been thinking of your husband, on how his life was being treated as trash.
"Oh God, please for his next life make it easier for him. I just want him to be happy as who he is. He deserves it. Even if I cannot be by his side, as long as he enjoys his life, that's enough."
To be continued...
