Chapter 5 - The Price of Forbidden Love and disloyalty

As the days turned into weeks, the love between the Princess Amarissa and Felix, the young wizard from House Malkin, continued to get deeper.

Their secret meetings grew increasingly intimate, their stolen moments filled with longing and desire.

The unbreakable bond that had formed between them seemed to defy the very laws that governed the kingdom of Sibiah.

One evening, as the kingdom lay concealed in the soft embrace of twilight, Princess Amarissa invited Felix into her own private chamber.

The flickering candle light cast dancing shadows across the room, creating an atmosphere that is charged with tension and intense desire.

Amarissa, her eyes filled with longing, it made her intentions known as she moved closer and closer to Felix.

Her touch was both gentle and seductive, a silent invitation that Felix found impossible to even try to resist.

Their hearts pounded in unison as their lips finally met, sealing their love with a passionate kiss.

In the face of passion, the boundaries that separated them dissolved like it never existed, and their love ignited like a brilliant flame.

Amarissa and Felix, bound by a love went beyond their normal social standing and the traditions of their kingdom, succumbed to the irresistible pull of desire.

Unbeknownst to Felix, the very act they had engaged in would be paid with a heavy price.

It was a transgressive act that went against the very strict rule of House Malkin—a rule that decreed wizards could not copulate with humans, lest they forfeit their magical powers and abilities.

The consequences of their forbidden love became apparent when the magical lantern, a symbol of a wizard's power essence, located in a special chamber within the Malkin House had suddenly gone off.

The darkness that enveloped the lantern was an ominous sign, signifying the loss of a wizard's magical abilities.

Crowley, Felix's father and the Arch Wizard of House Malkin,Lord Malkin, sensed the extinguishing of his son's lantern.

His heart heavy with premonition, he summoned Felix to his chambers. The air in the room was filled with tension as father and son faced each other.

"Felix," Crowley began, his voice carrying a weight of disappointment and sorrow. "I sense that something grave has occurred.

The essence of your power, the very essence that has bound you to our House, has been extinguished. Tell me, my son, what transpired?".

Felix stood before his father, unable to look at him in the face. He knew the truth of what he had done—the transgression of House Malkin's most sacred rule.

Shame and regret coursed through him as he realized the enormity of his own actions.

But words eluded him, for he could not bear to utter the truth, to admit that he had willingly let go of his own magical abilities for the love of Princess Amarissa.

His silence spoke volumes, a painful acknowledgment of the price he had willingly paid.

Crowley's face registered a mixture of both anguish and understanding. He knew that his son's silence was an admission of guilt, a confession that came with heavy consequences.

The bond between the father and son, once so strong, now strained under the weight of their unspoken truths.

While Felix's world crumbled within the walls of House Malkin, another revelation unfolded within the kingdom of Sibiah.

Lady Balrus of the House Balrus and Lord Alva of the House Alva, who had been secretly conspiring with an external enemy to undermine King Theophilus's rule, were caught in the act of treason.

The king, having sharp powers of Judgement and a very sensitive insight, had been quietly gathering evidence of their collusion with hostile forces.

When the damning and incriminating evidence was presented before him, he took a decisive action.

Lady Balrus and Lord Alva were charged with high treason, a crime that carried a very severe consequences.

As the kingdom watched in shock and disbelief, the once powerful noble House Lords were imprisoned, awaiting the king's judgment.

The very act of conspiring against the crown was a grave offense that would not be taken lightly at all.

King Theophilus, known for his sense of justice, commanded that Lady Balrus and Lord Alva be dealt with according to the laws of the land.

The fate of the treacherous and traitorous lords remained uncertain, but their fall from grace sent ripples of unease through the kingdom of Sibiah.

In the midst of these tumultuous events, as the consequences of their actions began to unfold, Felix and Amarissa's love story remained a hidden secret, a forbidden romance that had exacted a heavy toll on both the Princess and Felix but most especially Felix.

The kingdom of Sibiah, a realm of tradition, power, and treachery, found itself at a crossroads, where love had both the power to go beyond boundaries and the capacity to unravel the very foundations of their world.
