Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: A dark world

She ran into the woods, which is when she was last seen.The woods? Upon learning of Vera's whereabouts, Nika, her personal assistant, reported to Lady Divine, appearing anxious and ill.A group of one of the best trained guards were immediately summoned.Find her.With a subdued voice ,she leaned in on Liam as she felt her legs go limb. She strained to support herself by holding onto Liam's arm.Tell her ,there will no longer be an engagement or wedding,She won't be forced anymore.She should come back home to me her mother for I am at the edge of loosing my mind.We are ready to cut tides with the Yu family from the other land, PLEASE.The most reliable of the group, Liam, ordered the other three men to prepare for this mission and then lifted the divine in one scoop as he started to move toward the door.

....

Mr.Yong,this place will longer be known as the place where the weak cannot even take a quick glance at if you get married to a weakling,.A strong man needs a strong and capable woman by his side,what can she possibly do when a Darian attacks? The powers she has might protect her from other races but certainly not a Darian.Zanak,yongs right hand man said witha slight hint of anger in his tone.She is a descendent of our rival,the dark fairies,said Zanak as his eyes followed the movements of the young prince of the dark world who was walking towards the gates of the dark world while yong had his eyes fixed at a particular spot.Well well well ,this day never seems to amaze me.Unknowingly, the corner of his mouth lifted as he spoke, staring at a figure outside the gates with a face devoid of emotion.A certain someone's eyes widened a bit due to shock as he froze in place.Who is she? Zanak asked while pointing at the figure and why has the Darian soldiers not reported on this issue. Actually, the darian soldiers who were outside the gates looked like they had been glued to the ground as they still battled with their thoughts on what has happened before them just now.A figure was pushed out of what looked like a small portal to the ground.They were brought back to their senses as the voice of their prince echoed in their minds.The Darian soldiers moved towards the figure as one moved to touch it but moved back upon seeing zanak just beside him . She's a mortal!.He covered his mouth as he stared right back at the prince.What should we do? She must be taken back before another Darian sets eyes on her.Zanak looked at the prince who has his brows pulled together.How? He asked as he saw fear flash in zanaks eyes.Have you forgotten the portal only opens once every five hundred and fifty years? This is not the question you should be asking.The main question should be,how the hell did she end up here? Zanak was once in his thinking mode.Dont tell me you have forgotten what happens when a human stays here for too long.You can be certain that once that occurs, her soul will not pass on to the hereafter. She will begin to fade away until she is no longer visible.She needs to get out of here as soon as possible.How come she appears so frail and helpless? I thought I had seen everything, he rolled his eyes. We must tell the king immed..... He stopped mid-sentence due to the piercing gaze being directed at him, imitating the words, you wouldn't dare. In the end, the prophecy turned out to be true.The oldest Darian priest, Lamen, spoke as he turned to face Prince Yong.Zanak turned to find lamen propped up against the trunk of a black power tree that had been chopped down.How do you mean? he inquired.Lamen cast a stern glance at Zanak before looking up into the sky.I am unable to respond because everything will become clear in due course.Ensure she is fed and cleaned up before bringing her inside the castle.Turning to go, Lamen said to Yong.Me? Why me?Yong's face grew gloomy as he asked.Zanak is not trustworthy around her.His personality is well known to you.Zanak listened to Lamen with his face palmed.With a raised eyebrow and folded arms across his chest, he attempted to avoid meeting the elderly man's gaze. "I told you I am no longer that person," he said.With Zanak trailing closely behind, dragging his feet along, Yong lifted her as if she were a piece of paper and crossed the gates ahead of him as they closed.

 Muttering under her breath, she rolled to the opposite side of the bed.No, go away and leave me on my own.What more could you possibly want? I already consented to marry you. Taking deep breaths After her heart thudded more forcefully than usual for a few minutes before returning to normal, Vera got out of bed and attempted to calm herself.She clutched her neck as if her breath were being forced out as she coughed violently and small beads of sweat formed on her forehead.As she raised her head, she felt a sudden oppressive aura and discovered herself in an unfamiliar room with no entrance!There was only a bed, a dressing mirror to the far left of the bed, and a table holding a glass of water and a coffee cup. There was no window or door.She noticed that the room was illuminated by candles on a few candelabras on the walls as her eyes darted back and forth.The room appeared darker because the floor was composed of black material.It made her nervous.She asked, holding the hem of her gown, "My dress is new? How did this happen?" as her gaze settled on her flawless skin devoid of any visible wounds.The idea of someone else altering her attire caused her face to flush.Turning, she saw a bathroom off to her left.It was doorless.Everything within was visible.She happened to notice her blood-stained, frayed dress lying on the bathroom floor.She touched the back of her head, recalling that she had struck it on a branch in the snowy forest.She felt a little stronger than usual, so she slowly got out of bed.As she ran her fingertips over her skin, it felt incredibly smooth. She furrowed her brows, looking so perplexed.How did I get in here??
