《The Aria Chronicles》House Arrest II
Advertisement
The doorbell waked me up; when I opened my eyes and saw the time, I realized I had slept through the whole afternoon, and it is evening now.
I got up from the bed and donned the clothes that first came into my hand and walked into the hall to open the.
Click!
I did not even look who was on the other side, just opened the door, and when I did, I found Sheila on the other side holding a lunch.
Her gaze turned funny when she looked at me, and when I looked at myself, I found myself wearing a very short see-through nightdress, from which she could clearly see my boobs and other stuff.
My cheeks couldn't help but flushed red seeing that and about to say something when Shiela opened her mouth, "I brought you a lunch," she said and entered inside as I opened the door wide.
"Give me a minute to change and freshened up," I said as I closed the door and disappeared from the hall. As I entered my room, I quickly took off the nightdress I wore before entering the bathroom, where I had freshened up and brushed my teeth in the record time.
When I entered my room again, I wore lingerie and comfortable trousers and a white shirt top of it before walking into the hall where Shiela is.
"You know I am really not into women but seeing you earlier, I really want to kiss you," she said jokingly, but that my cheeks couldn't help but get flushed again, "Thank you for your praise," I said with a smile as I sat beside her.
"You have disappeared for quite a while, we have searched the whole Nimbus Hills for you the whole week, but we have seen no sign of you," she said with genuine worry.

"I am sorry for worrying you all," I said, to which she waved her hand noncommittally, "That is the thing of the past, you are returned, that's all that matters the most," Sheila said, hearing that small smile couldn't help but form on my lips.
"Where is Isabell?" I asked, earlier I did not see, nor had she come with Shiela just now, "She was sent to a very important mission, if not the mission required her expertise, she would not have gone for it."
"She was very worried about you, you know!" Sheila said softly, to that I could only nod before moving to a much lighter topic.
We ate as we talked, and an hour later, Sheila had left with the cart while I remained in my room alone. After she left, I wanted to train right away as I know how dangerous it is going to get in ten to twelve days, but I didn't; instead, I decided to read.
Every chamber in a small library and this library have many good books. I take out the ones about the monsters and start to read them.
I do not have much knowledge about the monsters, my parents had only taught me rudimentary knowledge about them as there is no Monster Territory connected to the kingdom, so there was not much of the reason to know about them in detail.
The books here have basic knowledge, but that is enough for now when Shiela came tomorrow, I will ask her to bring me some detailed books of about Monsters, as I need to get as much as knowledge about them as possible as ten to twelve days there will be a horde of monsters that will attack the city.
Others may suspect the news, but I did not, the Orc Blood was very sure about this news, so unless it had been lied to, I don't think it is false news, so I have to prepare as monsters are not easy to deal with.

Tring Tring…
I was just reading when the doorbell on my door rang again, 'Who could it be to come this late?' I thought as I looked at the watch, which is saying it is midnight.
I put the book down and walked to the door, this time I did not directly open it and instead looked through the hole and was quite surprised to find Ramon is the other side but got shocked when I looked at the person beside him.
'Duke Auturous!' I screamed in my mind, Duke Auturus is the commander of city forces and also the lone Duke Level powerhouse the city has, it is due to him that Orcs hadn't launched their attack yet.
Click!
"Duke Autorous, Sir Ramon, please come in," I said politely as I opened the door. Duke Auturus is a Middle-aged man with deep brown hair and piercing blue eyes that one could not look at directly.
There is no aura coming out of his body; he looked like a common man, but I feel tingling all over my body. It tingles from my senses, saying this man is very dangerous and will just need to flick his fingers to turn my ashes.
He looked at me up to down, but there were no emotions that could be seen on his face; there was no emotion on his face, which is a little surprising as everyone who looked at me had some reactions, but this man had none.
"Lilith, Duke Autorous has things to ask you," Ramon said as he stood beside him respectfully. "Tell me about your complete interaction with two half Blood? leave nothing behind." Duke Auturous asked in a deep voice, which felt like thunder on my ears.
It took me a while to understand the question due to that thundering sensation, but when I understood it, I started to talk, and this time except for some important parts related to my secret, I told them everything.
Including the sex we had, it is important to emphasize on it as I had told them I had killed the two half-blood during the sex. It took me more than an hour to tell them and all and another hour to answer all the questions he had.
"Let's hope, what you have said doesn't come true," said Duke Autrous with a deep sigh as he left the room with Ramon. His words rang deep in my heart, and I realized that the monster attack is more dangerous than I had thought earlier.

8 80The Kings of Thendor - The Two Kings
To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much. In the land of Thendor, where magic is mysterious, unmentioned, and sometimes even disbelieved; where kings, queens, and stewards rule, the ages-old kingdom of Alldel remains without its king. Heirs come and go and no one can explain why each one chooses to abdicate to the steward. And who are these heirs, anyway? Some say the line of kings is dead, while others whisper of magic. Some, though few they are, will tell you other kingdoms have interfered, keeping the line of kings from rising in the nation of Alldel. But why? Adric, son of Cassian, heir to the throne of Alldel has come of age and must answer the question, whether to assume the throne, or abdicate as his ancestors had done for centuries. Raised as a blacksmith by a family friend, Adric struggles with the decision to take up his place as King of Alldel, and to make matters worse, a neighboring kingdom has confirmed the rumors of the common folk. An impossibly old king with a centuries-old message arrives and changes Adric’s life in ways he could never have imagined. Adric must decide the future, and perhaps even the fate of the great kingdom of Alldel. Unprepared for this turn of events, he enlists the help of allied kingdoms and even the mystical nymphs of the Tulusbian forest. Some say his actions will start a war on the continent of Thendor. Ohers say he is resurrecting a long forgotten one from centuries ago. Abdicate, or become king? To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much.
8 174One Piece: The Elder Twin
(Previously known as Being Luffy isn't Lucky) An utterly random person comes to their senses to find out that they're being dangled by their legs, not to mention that they feel some slight vertigo. Upon realisation, they discover that they've become... ahem, I mean they share a body with the one known as Monkey D. Luffy and they also have no idea who they are themselves! The one thing they do know? They used to be an absolute loner. (EDIT: So... a few months later and I come back to this and read like a few chapters. Only to realize the absolute rubbish the story and everything has become. There was many needlessly developed things that just waste chapters and don't even develop anything. The fiction's Mary Sue was horrendously developed. I'm just repeating myself to try and convey how terrible it developed... like seriously. IF I were to update the fiction again I would be thinking of improved concepts and ways to present everything which would contradict the entire way I previously presented everything.)
