It was supposed to be a Happily Ever After, it was a happily ever after...
But it's all coming to an end.
When Alpheus escapes the dungeons, it's up to the new King of Lysandra, Vincenzo St Andres Octavius, to protect his family and his kingdom from his grandfather but the last thing anyone expected was for him to accidentally wake up a sleeping mage from her slumber, better yet the mage that helped create the Kingdom he ruled. 
Her story is questionable, her beauty is enticing but her power may be something that will save them all. Now, the two of them work together to save his Kingdom under a contract but when feelings start to emerge, there's more at stake than just the Kingdom.

"Nora. Nora, no. W-Why would you be so reckless!?" I screamed desperately, patting her cheek as she breathed in and out slowly, her face scrunched up in pain.


"W-What's... this?" She mumbled, looking over the gunshot wounds that were shot through her. Her hands coming up above her face, coated in blood, and at that, my vision trembled. Undecipherable rage swirling through me, enough to scare any sane man.


I snapped my head up to look at Alpheus who was being pushed down on the ground by my men, the black gun thrown out of his hand and landing a bit away from me on the ground. Despite being treated harshly, a satisfied smirk was still on his face.

Picking the gun up, I pointed it at him and shot.


It landed on the shoulder, the same place he shot Nora and he fell back, groaning in pain.
