Sustaining the King's Life

COMPLETED. (WARNING: R18 on chapter 200+ onwards. This is a SLOW BURN ROMANCE. Read at your own risk.) ** On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. "Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy." To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence; similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed: A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead... and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid.

The Last Trial

Large turkeys, salads, chicken wings, vegetables, gravy, and all thing that one can take leisure to eat was just lying atop the long tables. The students were chattering as they ate. Fireflies that passed by sometimes landed into the back of their palms, imposing a warm, fuzzy glow into their meals.

This time Faustina wasn't being noticed by the people. Their mediums were put into another sequestered space—as the professors had called it. They said that the mediums would come back to them after they would be assigned their houses.

That was the star of the night. 

The assigning of Houses in each and every student. Everyone seemed to be excited about that, but they were famished. No one paid attention to other things other than the food, the academy's magnificence, and getting to know each other more. Soon, the entirety of the Great Hall was filled with an air as warm as firefly light.
