The current world, divided into two continents which held seven kingdoms altogether.
One continent was called Water, and the other was Fire. On the continent Water, four kingdoms ruled; these were Lie, Si, Feng, and Jin. On the continent Fire, three kingdoms rules; these were Chi, Ling and Can.
For over one thousand years, the two continents had a long-standing feud and continuously warred with each other. As time went, the conflicts between the seven countries increased.
Fortunately, apart from wars springing up now and then, they were able to trade and communicate as their language and currencies were similar. Overall, for one thousand years, they resided in a neutral state.
This, however, was about to be changed as the prediction of the Fearless Armor unfolded.
Currently, four recluses were living in the world. They were considered the almighty and known as Fearless Armor, Sruthan, Sparrow, and Kenway.
Fearless Armor, known for his powerful analytical capabilities. Rumor had it he manages the whole continent. Sruthan, who was ranked first in the world for his fearsome martial arts skills. It had been many decades since a challenger could beat him. Sparrow was lithe and swift as the name suggested, with the ability to move at superhuman speed. He could also tell others' fortunes that made him quite well-known. Kenway, a medical specialist, cured thousands with his magic hands. He was also known for his expertise as an apothecary.
The four had made their names five decades ago. No one knew where they were now, because three decades ago, for some reason unknown, they chose to fade into obscurity. The mysterious manner in their disappearance became the unsolved puzzle of the century.
Then about one year ago, a prediction spread across both continents. Many believed it to have been Fearless Armor who started it.
Fire Phoenix landed in the world with seven male birds accompanied. Feathers gathered together as water and fire mingled. Waves roared among heads as the world united into one.
Once upon a time, there were two kingdoms once at peace. The kingdom of Salem and the kingdom of Mombana... Until the day, the king of Mombana passed away and a new monarch took over, Prince Cone. Prince Cone, has always been hungry for more power and more and more. After his coronation, he attacked Salem. The attack was so unexpected, Salem never prepared for it. They were caught off guard. The king and Queen was killed, the prince was taken into slavery. The people of Salem that survived the war was enslaved, their land taken from them. Their women were made sex slaves. They lost everything, including their land. Evil befall the land of Salem in form of Prince Cone, and the prince of Salem in his slavery was filled with so much rage. The prince of Salem, Prince Lucien swore revenge. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 Ten years later, thirty-years old Lucien and his people raided a coup and escaped slavery. They went into hiding and recuperated. They trained day and night under the leadership of the fearless and cold Lucien who was driven with everything in him to get back their land, and take Mombana land too. It took them five years before they ambushed and attacked Mombana. They killed Prince Cone and reclaimed everything. As they screamed out their victory, Lucien's eyes found and pinned the proud princess of Mombana. Princess Danika. The daughter of Prince Cone. As Lucien stared at her with the coldest eyes anyone can ever possess, he felt victory for the first time. He walked to the princess with the slave collar he'd won for ten years rattling in his hand as he walked. He reached close to her and with a swift movement, he collared her neck. Then, he tilted her chin up, staring into the bluest eyes and the most beautiful face ever created, he gave her a cold smile. "You are my acquisition. My slave. My sex slave. My property. I will pay you in spades, everything you and your father ever did to me and my people." He stated curtly. Pure hatred, coldness and victory was the only emotion on his face. .
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?"
