"What is the meaning of this?" The queen yelled. "Let go of me!"Isabella didn’t realize that she still had her grip on the queen’s wrist. She was pulling her hand forcefully,so Isabella quickly let her go."Ahhh!" The queen went out of balance and fell on the ground."Mother!" Her stepsisters said in unison. They kneeled down to help their mother."You ungrateful wench!" Her elder stepsister Helena yelled. "How could you do that to queen mother?!""But she said to let her go." Isabella said innocently."Well that was what I heard as well." Erik backed her up. His face had a big smile."How dare you laugh at the queen?!" Camila yelled. "Guards, seize him!"The queen’s guards moved forward to seize him when Isabella blocked their way."No!" She yelled with a surprised force and authority.The people around were taken by surprise. This was the first time Isabella had yelled so loud. She was known to be meek and silent.But thinking about what her stepmother would do to Erik made her st

It’s been two weeks since Isabella started to study the art of sword. Erik gave her a light sword at first, assuring her that he will make it heavier once her strength improves in the near future.They practice the sword every afternoon in her courtyard. Mornings consist of studies in history, politics and literature."Very good. Keep your stance to balance your body." Erik instructed.Isabella was swinging her sword at him, watching his every movements as she calculated and anticipated his every strike.She was able to dodge his attacks and he was also able to block hers. After some time, in split seconds, she missed his movements and her sword flew from her hand. Erik’s sword was pointed at her throat. She was shocked, looking at the tip of his sword shining from the rays of light coming from the sun."I yield." She said panting."You did well." Erik replied, panting as well. He took a deep breath and sheaths his sword."I still have much to learn." She said."In just two weeks

At the border that connects Wales and Geneva, inside a thick and dense forest, there was a small cottage. A young man in his twenties, with platinum blonde hair and silver eyes, was sitting on a bench outside. Around the cottage, there was a thin layer of white fog enveloping it like a curtain.“Your highness,” a voice came from behind him. “The elite guards of Avalon are still searching for us in the forest. Is it safe sitting outside?”“Do not worry,” the platinum blonde-haired boy assured him. “They can’t find us with my cloaking spell.”“Your magic skills are improving, young Prince Klaus,” a middle-aged man emerged from the cottage.“I have been practicing since I was young,” Klaus said. “My mother taught me so well.”“True. It’s a shame that she died prematurely,” the man said.“And why is the priest of Geneva Cathedral here, Priest Haden?” Klaus asked, looking angrily at the middle-aged man wearing his priestly uniform. “As you can see, we are being pursued by the elite guards

Kyler cringed within him. “General Marcus is really something; he can talk to the Crown Prince like an equal, and he’s not affected by his overwhelming aura”. He thought within himself. He was in the room with them all the time, but he was like an ant in the lion's den.These two people have an imposing aura of greatness; he felt small in their presence.“You think I want Isabella because she has the blood of the Royal family of Sparta?” Erik asked sarcastically.“Yes,” General Marcus said. “The Royal family of Sparta has unique features that can only be recognized by the older generation, they have platinum blonde hair and silver eyes”. And you think I know of this?” Erik asked. “ As you said, “only the old ones remember the features of the royal family of Sparta; that history has been erased from the books of this continent. Just mentioning their name is taboo.”“Don’t make a fool of me, Crown Prince; I may be old, but I am not foolish. I know the royal knowledge network of Avalon ru

Here's the corrected passage:The royal family of Sparta is a frightening enemy. Not only do they have high magical powers, they are also good in physical combat. Whether sword battles or hand-to-hand combat, they are formidable opponents on the battlefield.“I have known that from experience,” General Marcus said. “They are fearsome indeed. If it weren’t for the common people of Sparta’s help, we couldn’t have won that war. They also saw the craziness of the mad king in using the forbidden magic.But they weren’t able to save their kingdom in the end, and it sank in the vast ocean,” Erik countered.General Marcus sighed. “That forbidden magic is really a frightening power.”“Well, it's not called forbidden for nothing, right?” Erik said sarcastically.“We have to look for and stop them from acquiring this fearsome magic,” General Marcus resolved.“Even if it’s your son-in-law, the king?” Erik asked.He looked at the General seriously, trying to read his reaction. General Marcus looke

General Marcus started to remember the war twenty years ago. Back then, the continent consisted of four kingdoms: Geneva to the north, Avalon to the south, Wales at the center, and Sparta to the far east.“I was just a lieutenant in the Wales army back then when the war broke out,” General Marcus started. “Sparta was the biggest and the most powerful of the four kingdoms back then."“That was what my mother told me too,” Erik corroborated. “She was a Spartan.”“Yes, your mother was a Spartan. Hence, her knowledge of the ancient powers,” General Marcus said. “Spartans were gifted with the use and knowledge of magic. Some people used it for good while others used it for bad."“When the mad king sat in Sparta’s throne, it became worse,” Erik said.“Yes. The Spartan royal family was the most powerful magic users of all. And they had access to forbidden magic,” General Marcus sighed. “The mad king saw that the Spartan kingdom was more superior to others and wanted to rule the whole contine

It was almost midnight, at the outskirts of the kingdom, lies General Marcus' estate. The general was in his study reading the daily papers for that day. He lamented to himself while reading the papers.“What is the general lamenting about at this time of the night?” a voice came from outside the room.“Who is there?” the general ordered.“Be calm, general, it is I,” the man entered the room slowly. When he neared the lampstand, the general recognized him.“It is you,” he sighed in relief. “What does your Highness, the crown prince of Avalon, want at this time of the night in an old man’s estate?”"What’s wrong with having a chat with an old friend?" Erik smiled. "Your security system is becoming weak by the day. I can come in here and leave as I please, and your guards won’t even know."Erik stopped in front of the General’s desk. Not far from him was Kyler lurking in the shadows.“That’s what you think, Your Highness. They are not weak at all. It’s just that you and your men are ski

When they arrived at the garden in Isabella’s courtyard, she felt a little uncomfortable. After the incident with Charles and Camilla, she had avoided the main garden in the palace in order to reduce her chances of stumbling into the queen or her daughters. The table was located in the small gazebo in the garden. When she was about to enter the gazebo, she tripped and was about to fall when someone caught her by the waist.“Are you alright, Princess?” Erik asked.Isabella nodded sweetly, also amazed at his speed.“Thank you, Erik,” she said. “I just feel a bit clumsy.”“It's okay, Princess. It is my job to protect you,” Erik said.“You have fast reflexes, Sir Erik,” Philips said. “I was about to catch you when you did.”“Thank you, Sir Phillips. I was trained since I was young to be a capable knight,” Erik explained.“That is good to hear. I am happy to know that the princess has a very capable knight by her side,” Philips said.The two men were staring daggers at each other.“The tea

They all walked towards the garden. Phillips was right beside Isabella, while Maggie and Erik followed behind them. Phillips and Isabella were chatting happily, while Erik sulked with a sour look on his face. Maggie couldn’t help but smile at the observation.“Sir Erik, are you okay?” Maggie asked. She could feel the coldness emanating from Erik.“I’m fine. Why do you ask?” he said with a fake smile.“Well, the princess and Sir Phillips are getting along, and they seem quite happy in each other’s company,” Maggie teased him.“What does that have to do with me?” he asked her.“You also like the princess, don’t you, Sir Erik?” Maggie confronted him.Erik became silent. His coldness turned into a sweet and soft smile. Maggie didn’t need to hear his answer. Erik’s body language said it all.“My princess is still young and naive,” Maggie explained. “She wasn’t given the opportunities a princess deserves, but she has a pure and innocent heart, and that makes her better than her stepsisters.
