《Castlebound》Chapter 27

Hailey and Barinon turned and ran away from the dragon. Hailey hoped that it wouldn’t turn around and attack the soldiers again, but she ran with Barinon right back into the castle.
“We need a basket,” he said.
“There’s one in the pantry,” she panted. They hurried into the kitchen. In the pantry was a basket of potatoes. He dumped it upside down and they turned and hurried out of the kitchen. She was breathing hard now, but Barinon didn’t slow. They ran up the stairs and back into the mage’s library. Hailey’s hand was getting tired from constantly trying to hold onto his.
“We are so close to finishing the spell,” Barinon said. He looked worried, though and Hailey hoped he was right. “We cannot let the curse remain on the princess any longer. We have to do what we can before the dragon comes for us. At least now the dragon won’t be fighting the people.”
She trusted Barinon. He had not been wrong this far and he would do his best. He had said over and over again how important it was for a mage to take care of the people of his kingdom.
Inside the mage’s library. They placed all of the herbs and candles in a circle and then Hailey put the chicken in the center. She petted it’s feathers one last time, feeling a pang of guilt for what they were about to do. She put the basket over the bird. Henny remained still.
Then Hailey watched, as Barinon tried to pull the death spell off of the princess. She could see the magic flowing from him, could see the dark magic that encircled the castle, but when he pulled on it, it didn’t move.
“Bok, Bok, Bok,” said Henny.

Hailey lifted the basket, feeling frustrated. “Did we do something wrong?
Barinon glanced at the spell book, looked across the hallway at the princess’s chambers and sighed. “I don’t know. It shouldn’t be that difficult.”
“Try again. I will join magic with yours. Hopefully it will be enough.”
Barinon closed his eyes. She placed a hand on his back, feeding magic into his spell. She could feel it pouring through him. He moved his arms toward the princess, spoke a word and then pointed his hands at the chicken.
Again nothing happened. A low grumble came from outside. The dragon was getting closer. She hoped it wasn’t about to breathe fire on her castle.
“We cannot leave it trapped inside the spell. It will tear the castle apart,” Barinon said.
Hailey nodded. “If I ran away from it, do you think it would follow?”
“No. Too risky. We need to face it together.”
“Do you want to try the spell again?” Hailey asked him. They needed to be doing something.”
The dragon screeched. Hailey clapped her hands over her ears.
“No. We have to get the dragon out of the spell first. I think its changing the spell,” Barinon said. “Then we should be able to move the spell off the princess. It should work. It has to.”
“If you don’t want me to let it chase me, then what if we shrink the spell. Would you and I be able to do that?”
Barinon’s eyes went wide with excitement. “Why didn’t I think of that. Of course.” He slapped his head with his palm. Then he returned to his book to glance over the spell.
Hailey thought about letting Henny go, but she didn’t want to have to track her down later. Everything was so uncertain at the moment.
Barinon glanced up. “Be ready. As soon as we get the dragon out of the spell, it will be back at full speed and it will attack us.”
Hailey nodded. It seemed their best chance.

The Legendary Rebuilding of a World by a Realist Demon King
In a rotted away castle, Ashta awoke as a Demon King. With his ‘wisdom from a past life,’ he would rule over his lands as a thorough ‘realist.’ “Demon King, why are you attacking the level 1 Heroes?” “Defeat them before they become stronger. That is called strategy.” “Demon King, why are you sending fake money to the enemy country?” “To bring chaos to their economy so they will self-destruct.” “The werewolf troops have attacked. Should we use silver bullets?” “Not bullets, shoot them with canons.” And like that, Ashta ‘reformed’ the old tendencies. He became a lord who was loved by the people and his subordinates and would go on to be called the most powerful Demon King in history.

Alan Maxwell has one exceptional talent. He can read peoples body language and micro expressions so well that, in many cases it's not hard for him to fake being psychic. When a foreign agency decides that said talent would make him an exceptional spy, events quickly begin to spiral out of control. With enemies on all sides, and friends that will as soon kill each other as his enemies, Alan will have to put his skills to the test in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. ===I came up with this story in response to a question. I once asked someone why there weren't really any Yandere harems. I realize that the answer to that is 'everyone dies' but thats boring so... here we are. A story I came up with explicitly as an excuse to create a harem entirely out of obsessive psychopathic axe murderers. Or in other words - "What happens to Bond girls when they disappear?"As a warning, there are sex scenes. Its tagged. I'll leave an authors note at the top of any chapter that has them if you'd prefer to skip it.

“Anno Heroibus, 990, 94th day of Bruma. To the. Magus of the West, Princess of Albion, and High Priestess of Albion, Amadela Clovis Krone. Dear, my little sweet princess of the west, how have you been spring child? As usual Here in the east we are celebrating the winter festival, it's rowdy, cheerful, and loud... very, very loud, from the smiling children with their candies in their hands and mouth, to the adults dancing gleefully with their partners. I wish you were still here to be my door answerer, hahaha.... well, duty still comes first for us Magus! So I hope you have a nice and fun winter festival there in Castle Krone with your family. But... you know me when I write letters, so if this letter has finally fallen to your hands child, that means I have died from the hands of the Rider Cultist. I know for sure you will weep for me, mourn for me, but don’t take too long child, because the time has come to summon the last heroes, act now! quickly and swiftly, because the clock has ticked again with my death. For his return is now inevitable and our enemies too are making their moves. Summon them child, summon them for this world's fate is rested upon those heroes. Sincerely, your great of a Magus of the East uncle, Jan.“ Lord Protector is fantasy series following a teenage trio named Martyn Wulf, Arthur Svard, Eleanna Florens and their teacher Marie Maynard, who were summoned to a world called Lumenter by the Kingdom of Albion. They are tasked to protect Lumenter from an old chaotic force, that previously has tried and failed to destroy Lumenter. But this trio and their teacher took a different approach on their task, where rather than making the cliche heroes party to venture out to this new brave world, they instead, or more specifically, Martyn Wulf, the brain of the trio, made a deal with the King of Albion. The deal was that Martyn, his friends, and his teacher would be protected by the Kingdom, and then making Martyn the co-ruler of Albion. In exchange he will improve and advance Albion politically, economically, diplomatically, and maybe even technologically. The King and his advisors accepted Martyn's offers but by doing this, he just plunge himself as well as his friends and teacher to a world of corruption, lies, betrayal, and greed. Either way, he must play this messed up game of chest for his survival, his friends' survival, and his teacher's survival. For more information, go to the main website! Cover by - Moccha
