《The Queen's Toy》Chapter 03.3 - My Purpose In Life?-03
Advertisement
“Lad, you have a visitor.”
As I was staring out the tiled ground, I suddenly saw a face emerged out from the iron bars keeping me from going outside.
His face was really scary, had the air of somewhat murderer, and the scars all over his face made it even more scarier to look at his face.
Despite all that, I know, deep inside my heart, that this person was a kind fellow.
He often conversed with me, but since some of his colleagues would nag at him sometimes, I just shoo him away everytime, and tell him to follow his seniors.
According to the informations he gave me, apparently, the place I was currently jailed on, was the bedroom which had iron bars as door, prepared by the Queen. Even them wasn’t told what’s it’s purpose, and why they’re keeping me away.
I once asked how the Queen looks like, but he’ll simply shudder in thought while breaking out of cold every single time. As if, he was being hunt by a ghost.
And then, I started wondering, that perhaps, the Queen was actually a scary one instead?
From the soldier I was close with alone, I could already tell that he suffered tons of things from the Queen.
Perhaps he was also once used as her toy? Everything is possible in this world.
That’s why, I was kind of taken a back, wondering who’s the person visiting me.
Of course, I didn’t showed it on my face, and instead, came out of the prison cell before following the soldier I was close with, behind his back.
“Do you know the person who wanted to meet me?”
Out of curiosity, I wasn’t able to keep myself to not ask him.
One thing I’m sure of, the Queen will definitely won’t give my mother a notice about what had happened so far.

I don’t even know why they took me away, and was also confused myself. So, I was kind of baffled when the knights took me away, and threw me inside a jail.
“You’ve gotta mind your manners this time, lad this person who you were about to meet is an special figure, so you’ve gotta mind your manners unless you want to die, you hear me?”
“Hm~!”
I nodded my head, while continued sticking out my ears to listen.
“After the incident that happened due to some misunderstandings a few days ago, the Queen herself came her to apologize. She said she wanted to talk to you about many things, and properly apologize for the misunderstandings she have caused you.”
Oh, so she paid a visit for me because she felt guilty.
Perhaps thinking that the lady I met that time helped me out, I inwardly prayed for her future to be a good one and for her to meet a good husband, out of care. Well, even if I don’t pray for it, I’m sure she’ll get one, much manlier than I do, and handsome.
I mean, with her looks alone, she would be probably given the privilege to just live her life a slothful one.
We continued walking through the crowds, while he continued explaining things and things for me.
He also told me not to anger the Queen. From what he said, the Queen was a tyrant one and a short fuse, so even a single misused of words, death was certain, not only for me, but also for my whole family.
I wonder how my mother’s doing right now…
Before long, we soon arrived at a table where a lady wearing a dark summer hat almost covering her face. I could barely see her face from the shadow, and could only swallow my saliva slowly in coldness.

Why the hell did it feel cold all of the sudden?
Was our borderland changing climate to a cold one?
But wasn’t it supposedly after a few months later?
Either way, It’s really cold right now.
“We’ve arrived. I greet before you, my Queen.”
As soon we’ve arrived in our destination, the soldier lowered his knees to the ground before prompting me to follow his movements.
Only a not sane person wouldn’t understand what he’s trying to do, so I immediately realized the danger he’s telling me, and also lowered my knees to follow.
Since he said that the Queen was kind of short fuse, I’ve gotta keep my manners good. Hell, I wasn’t even taught to do this….
Like I thought, I should have studied more about those things….
“Rise your heads.” The Queen stood up from his seat, and started walking into my direction.
Was it just a coincidence? I think not.
I kept my head low into the ground, staring at the tiled ground, before a palm reached out into my cheeks after a few minutes.
“Don’t be scared, I’m not gonna eat you~”
I trembled ever so slightly in coldness, before gazing up to look who’s the owner of the voice.
And soon… A person I’m freaking familiar with showed up, with a deep smile with deep meaning etched on her face.
I tripped over myself, before retreating backwards with my feets and hands touching the ground. I could feel the coldness of the tiled ground upon my ass.
“Y- y- y- y-y -yyyyoouuuuu?!?! You’re the Queen?”
It was none other than the beautiful lady who I met a few days ago.
Hell, how could I forget?
Those dark hair, and a pair of arched brows?
Her smooth as milk and white as it is skin, accompanied by her otherworldly beauty.
And, most of all, those dark gothic clothes, that suited her as hell!
The Queen reddened in embarrassment, before blushing.
H- hey!!! Don’t make a face like that!!
It’s not like we’ve been dating secretly for a long time, so please don’t make a face like that!!
Look, even the soldier that was on my side a bit earlier was now looking at me with disgust!!!!!
Seriously, when are you gonna stop looking at me with those heart-shaped eyes!!
Someone!! Someone, call for the King!!
His wife is acting weird! Bring him here immediately!!!!!!

8 172The Brotherhood Archive:Crossroads(Revised)
All people great or small have a story - Patriarch Lord Theris'Heron Soletus, was on the verge of becoming a warden in the Dias Brotherhood until his father holds him back. Instead of proving his skill with culling monsters that plague the land, he is given an assignment different assignment. It isn't one that test doesn’t test his physical strength, but his strength of character. He is paired up with a shy and traumatized boy name Mien. Between Mien’s anxious behavior and the crime he committed, Soletus doesn’t know what to do or what to think. He wasn’t trained for the duty he is performing and has no idea if he is doing the right thing. However, when Soletus’s resolve to help starts to waiver, Mien does something unexpected and Soletus decides that the boy deserves a second chance not as an act of duty but as a friend. Hy'Ruh-Ha is a what I consider a chronicle fantasy. It is a fantasy drama coming of age story inspired by slice-of-life stories I've read and watched. It is heavy on the slice-of-life and does move slow. It is low-stakes fantasy. This particular story is romance free.(2 out the of 4 is re-uploaded under this title) And if you are someone who cares, the POV character is asexual. Crossroad(formally labeled as the intermission stories)- is a novella collection continuing the tale where Hy'ruh-Ha. The collection as followed: Wolf- After spending several months in the swamp post, Oeric'Sheldmartin returns to repair the chasm between him and his son, Soletus. However, a ghost from his past comes to haunt him and could ruin the life he's made completely. Note: Wolf is a bit of a character piece. POV character is Oeric. The Priest and the Priestess- A novella written in the POV of Mien and then Kiao after a series of unexpected events that change their lives. Mien's POV- Mien has spent the last couple of years working not only in the infirmary but training to become a combat chanter as part of his penitence. Then one day, a drug addled elf comes into infirmary and changes his perspective of a friend and puts his knowledge to the tests to figure out a mystery effecting children in town. *Spoiler warning* Kiao's POV- Kiao spent most of her time in the infirmary living the same daily secret filled life and until Mien changed it. Now she has to figure out her future in ways she never thought she would. I'm going for a Tues and Thurs day schedule for the re-upload. I may or may not stick in extra days.
8 204A New Beginning
Humans don't understand how someone can be both dead and alive, and that fact scares them, it opens up the possibility of a threat even if there is no evidence of malevolent intent. So, the only solution in the minds of humanity is to dominate and subjugate the unknown variable until it no longer has even the potential to be a threat. They choose to pretend that the unknown variable is lesser, that humanity is superior on no other grounds than that it's humanity. Danny had been stuck with the G.I.W for years when the Young Justice team rescued him. Broken, beaten, and none the wiser of the greater majority of humans, the humans with kindness in their eyes and light in their souls. He's been trapped in the darkness of greed and fear and violence for far too long, and what's left behind is a fractured mind and a trained weapon. Buried underneath that, however, is a young child who is scared and confused, a child that hasn't seen the light of day in years. That child never expected to see the bright side to existence, to see the light shine in the souls of the righteous. That all changed with one group of heroes, and one family of Bats.Cover doesn't belong to me.Cross-published on two other sites*Undergoing heavy editing, nothing plot-wise is changing, I am only editing grammar, mechanics, vocabulary, sentence variation, and formatting and overall I am just making it a more pleasant and refined read :) I am also deleting the A/Ns at the beginning and end of each chapter
