Chapter 30: Marriage Disclosure
“Young Lord,” as I was on my way to Sebastian’s office, a voice that was always pleasant to hear called out to me.
“Yo, Thora.” I smiled, turning to face House Buné’s one and only Head Maid as she went about her cleaning duties. “I don’t know what transpired yest...

“So,” I began, sitting down in the passenger seat of Martha’s P1 as we raced back home. “Any plans on telling me about what this is? You cut the butler guy off before he could finish back there.” I reached into the antique box containing my Evil Pieces. Holding out the Bishop and Knig...
Chapter 28: Evil Pieces
I can’t believe I’m only thinking about this now, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen Martha leave our territory. Let alone our estate. I understand the acquisition of my Evil Pieces is a fairly momentous occasion, but one important enough to make her, of all people, leave the comfort of...

Slowly, I could feel my eyelids begin to part, my mind deciding that it was time to abandon its state of slumber.

(AN: After all the action with Alduin's awakening ceremony, I thought it'd be nice to have a chapter that gives you all a breather, but also contains an interesting drop of character interaction. You can think of this as a semi-interlude if you like.)

“Very well then,” he replicated my battle stance. “Come forth, child of the moon. Let us begin this futile ceremony with a foregone conclusion.”

Step by step, we stomped through the dense marsh. Small droplets of apprehensive sweat perspired from my skin as I glanced from side to side, observing the escort circle of royal guards that had formed around me and Sebastian, with the lady of the bunch leading at the front of the formation.

“How tedious…” Sebastian murmured under his breath while sitting within the confines of his own, dimly lit office.
