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.

Sustaining the King's Life

University hell week is over. Enjoy reading.

Faustina doesn't know what to say. She stared at Lilianne Disfiegro, who was smiling with her chin held high. She was staring at her as if a winner looking at a loser.

"Feuersturm's... next empress?" Faustina blinked.

"Yes," Lilianne Disfiegro smirked. "I am Alexander Octavius Ein Feuerkrieger's empress-to-be. So, watch your mouth when you're talking to ME."

"You do know that saying those claims could put you to prison, don't you…?" Faustina asked.

Is this how Lilianne was able to harness confidence that enabled her to think she's on a higher position than the daughter of a ducal house? If so, then she's clearly hanging around a delusion…

However, if what she says is real, then…
