Chapter 10: Giant “We- we should go,” the queen stuttered, she felt herself panic for some reason as her eyes were glued to her knight’s eyes. She felt herself mesmerized by those golden eyes as they looked at her with such... longing. She shook her head, it must be just her wishful thinking. Surely, a man like him would not be attracted to someone like her. He has seen the world, and she has been locked up all her life. She heard from her chambermaids that he has visited several brothels…

Chapter 9: Cocoa Dominus hated the fact that the rest of the queen’s caravan found them soon afterward. He creased his nose to convey his dismay even as he looked at the queen who had just finished her dinner. It was decided that they should wait until morning but the queen insisted that they move soon, her rationale being it is safer to use the darkness of the night to conceal them from their enemies. Dominus sighs in defeat as he looked ahead at the carriage where the queen is, it’s not the…

Chapter 8: Friends Dominus lay the queen on the bed and took his bow and arrow which were still on the cupboard. He sat beside her and kissed the back of her hand, “Wait for me, my queen. I won’t be far, and I won’t make you wait for so long.” He smiled at her sleeping form before stepping out of the hut and locking the door behind him. The queen opened her eyes after he left, finally ‘waking’. Her heart beats fast against her chest as she felt her cheeks heat up when she remembered…

Chapter 7: Beguiled Dominus had a terrible feeling about this trip. The nagging feeling is partly because they have been traveling an almost empty road since morning. Almost as if someone made sure there will be just them. The quietness of it all irks him as he glanced at the carriage where the queen is in. He urged his stallion forward and lowered his head painfully so just to take a glimpse of the queen inside. As if to assure himself that she is fine and nothing is amiss with her. “My…

Chapter 6: Invitation Dominus never had a wink of sleep after that day when he found out about the queen’s secret. It has been three days since. He couldn’t rest not after knowing she might not have long in this world. She wouldn’t listen to him no matter what he say. He was frustrated with her, yes, maybe even somehow angry. How can the queen be so careless with her life? He asked her that, but she only winced and said, it’s because her people are risking their lives for the crown as…

Chapter 5: Forbidden Arts He barged into the dungeon like a bull raging for a fight, his long strides led him to the silly person who dared hurt his queen. It was one from his tribe, the idea fueled his anger more. To think his own men can do this unspeakable thing to him. “Who ordered you to do it?” he held the prisoner by the neck and began to squeeze on his windpipes. The man has never felt such fear in his entire life. He knew what Dominus was capable of, he thought the assassination…

Chapter 4: Scars Her senses went to overdrive as he sat there beside her, their bodies almost touching. A blush crept across her face, “Do you think you can take off your robe?” she asked, trying to be polite. “Sorry my queen, I believe you have to do everything. You see, the arrows were found to be poisonous, it rendered movements for my upper body quite difficult and painful,” his baritone voice has no traces of the excitement he felt when he whispered those words. “Then, may I…

Chapter 3: Set Dominus grunted when he was awakened by knocks barraging his door. Whoever was on the other side must have a death wish. He has no patience for anyone disturbing his sleep, especially so since he has just been hit by numerous poisonous arrows. He frowned thinking how easily an ordinary civilian could have succumbed to death if hit even by any of those deadly arrows. His heart clenched as visions of the queen dying in his arms crossed his mind. “Fuck off,” his voice boomed…

Chapter 2: Arrows “Can’t you just leave me alone for a minute, please? I can not think straight with you hovering over me all the time. No, my brain can not function that way. I demand some alone time, I demand a bit of peace and self-reflection. I don’t want to feel so caged,” the queen asked her newfound bodyguard who answered back with a scowl. “You know I can not do what you ask of me, my queen. To leave you alone for a minute is to make you vulnerable to attacks from enemies on all…

Chapter 1: Fire The story of a knight who has fallen in love with his queen. It was nothing but that, a simple plot for a fairytale, or was it? He stood proud at seven feet, everything looked minuscule in his sight. He towers above all knights who looked at him with disgust and alarm. He was one of the rebels not long ago, but for an undisclosed reason, he has betrayed his so-called ‘brother at arms’ for a seat at the round table. People murmured whenever he passes them by, the atmosphere…
