Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Tattooed Queen: Claimed By The Mad King: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

❤️ The Mad King’s Hunt ❤️"You're letting me choose how?" Kaelithra repeated his words in a mocking tone, which just made Draevon's smile grow even wider. "You already know my answer. So just take Marl and get out of my shop."Draevon began laughing and it wasn't a polite chuckle or a mild amusem but a full on laughing like a complete madman, the sound echoing through the small shop and probably out into the village.And then, to Marl's absolute horror and confusion, Kaelithra started laughing too. Just as loud and as insane, matching Draevon's madness with her own.The two of them stood there laughing like lunatics, the sound bouncing off the walls.Marl stared at both of them, his head turning back and forth between the mad king and his apparently equally mad friend. They even laughed almost identically, except obviously Draevon was already a very mad king.What the hell was happening right now?"Hey Thra!" Marl shouted over their laughter. "Are you throwing me under the bus right n

❤️ Broken Pride ❤️They ran and ran until they finally left Duskwatch Village completely behind them. Their legs were burning and their lungs felt like they were on fire, but they didn't stop and couldn't stop at all. Not with Draevon somewhere behind them, hunting.Soon enough, they crossed the border and entered the Kingdom of Witches. This was dangerous territory for outsiders. The witches didn't like strangers wandering through their lands uninvited. But it was also the fastest route to the Giant Kingdom, and speed was more important than safety right now.After the Witch Kingdom came the Giant Kingdom. They just had to make it through without getting caught or cursed or turned into toads.Simple. Totally simple.By the time the sun had completely set and night had fallen, both of them were exhausted. They needed rest, food and a place to hide for at least a few hours.That's when Kaelithra led them to a rundown looking building on the outskirts of the witch territory. It was old,

❤️ I Want Her ❤️Khyrador Kingdom:Miraeve was pacing outside the palace gates, wearing a path in the stone from walking back and forth so many times. She'd been waiting for her brother to return since early in the morning. She hadn't seen him at all today, and she knew without even asking the guards or servants where he'd gone.He'd gone to do what she'd asked. Gone to kill the hunchback and bring back Marl.Although, if he was planning to do that, he really should have told her so she could come along. She wanted to witness the downfall of that ugly creature. Wanted to see the look on the hunchback's face when Draevon showed up to end her miserable life.That's why she was out here now, waiting impatiently.But unlike Draevon, who should have been back before night fell, he was taking forever. Hours and hours had passed. The sun had set completely and stars were starting to appear in the sky.Miraeve was getting more impatient with every passing minute.She thought about Marl. About

❤️ Blades and Fury ❤️The Witch Kingdom: The Crooked Cauldron:Kaelithra woke to the sound of shouting.She sat up in her bed so fast her head spun for a second. Across the room, Marl was doing the same thing, his hair sticking up in every direction and his eyes wide with confusion."What's happening?" he mumbled, still half asleep."Nothing good," Kaelithra said, already swinging her legs out of bed and reaching for her worn boots.The shouting got louder. Multiple voices now and angry voices. The sound of furniture being knocked over. Glass breaking.Kaelithra and Marl exchanged a look, then both rushed for the door.They hurried down the creaky wooden stairs to the main room of the tavern, and what they saw made Kaelithra's blood run cold.The fairy from last night. Fennick. The one whose nose she'd broken.He was back.And he'd brought friends. Lots of friends.There had to be at least twenty fairies crowding into the tavern, all of them looking angry and ready for violence. Most

❤️ I Want You ❤️What was she going to do now?Miraeve was blocking the front door like she owned the whole tavern and the kingdoms surrounding it. Draevon was standing behind her.And Kaelithra was standing in the middle of all of it thinking about how three years of hiding peacefully in Duskwatch, minding her own business, tattooing criminals and eating Marl's food had somehow ended with this.She was going to blame Marl for this until the day she died.Speaking of Marl."You know," Miraeve's voice cut through the noise, sweet like poison and twice as deadly. "You should really thank me with a kiss."She was walking straight towards Marl as she said it, her blood soaked boots leaving prints on the tavern floor with every step she took, her eyes fixed on him like he was the only person in the room worth looking at.Marl took one step backwards. Then another. He kept going until his back bumped into Kaelithra and he could not go any further. He pressed himself against her like he was
