Royal Palace
"How do you know that I am a witch?" Natalie looks at her father with eyes full of curiosity.
"Your aunt told me before she left the capital." The King
"What?" Natalie is surprised. "Is my aunt alive?" She is happy that her aunt escapes the execution.
"I changed the prisoners and helped them escape." The King
"Where is my aunt now?" Natalie wants to meet her aunt.
"I do not know." The King looks at his daughter with sorrow.
Natalie sees the expression of her father and her heart pained. She vows to never let those pigs from the church harm another innocent life.
"Bring Eric with you when Elisabeth comes here." The King gestures Natalie to leave.
Natalie leaves and she goes towards the bedroom that Eric is.
Eric stands at the windows and he looks at the garden. The garden has many medicinal herbs. "Maybe I should ask Natalie if they have herbs that can help me to remove the side effect from the Boost Skill."
Eric hears the knock on the door. "You can come in." The door opens and Natalie comes inside the bedroom. He looks at Natalie but she avoids his gaze.
"My dad wants you to come with me to the meeting room." Natalie says with a low voice. After the kiss the atmosphere between them is strange.
"What does he want?" Eric
"I do not know." Natalie
"Do you have medicinal herbs?" Eric looks at Natalie with hope.
"We have medicinal herbs. If you want to take, you must ask my father." Natalie does not know what kind of herbs they plant in the garden.
"Where is your father?" Eric
"I think he is in the meeting room." Natalie says but she is not sure.
Eric stands, he takes the hand of Natalie, and drag her with him.

"What are you doing?" Natalie shakes her hand to escape from Eric but her effort is pointless.
Eric suddenly stops and Natalie crush onto him. "Why did you stop?" Natalie complains at Eric.
"Sorry I got excited when I heard you have medicinal herbs." Eric
"Do you need medicinal herbs?" Natalie looks at Eric.
"Yes, I need them." Eric nods.
"Are you injured?" Natalie worries about the health of Eric.
"I am not injured. Are you worried about your husband?" Eric teases Natalie. She did not know what to say so she walks forwards. Eric sees the reaction of Natalie and he finds it cute.
"Do not run." Eric follows behind Natalie.
They arrive in front of the door at the meeting room and Eric knocks the door.
"Come in." The voice of the King is heard so they go inside the room. Eric sees the King sitting at the head of the table and he looks at them.
"Why do you come here so early?" The King asks them.
"I heard from Natalie that you have medicinal herbs in the palace." Eric
"Yes, we have. What kind of herbs you need?" The King did not ask the reason why he needs the herbs.
"I need a herb that can help me restore my body." Eric
"How did you injure?" The King ask curiously.
"I used a skill that increases the physical capabilities over the limit when the skill duration finishes I cannot do training or fight." Eric tells the truth to the King.
"We have a herb that can eliminate the side effects from the skill but the process is painful." The King waits for the answer of Eric.
"Dad the treatment will harm Eric?" Natalie is anxious when she heard that the treatment is painful.
"I do not know how to use the medicine." Eric has no medical knowledge.

"I will tell the doctor to prepare for you." The King.
"Dad, did you tell the guards to bring the important objects from the two families." Natalie
"Yes, I told them." King
The sound of someone knocks the door is heard in the room. All the people look at the door.
"Come in." King
The door opens as Arthur and a young woman come in. The young woman is beautiful and sexy. The red dress that she wears emphasize her slender body and it matches perfectly with her red hair. Her long red hair binds a green hairpin with a flower pattern that matches her eyes. She looks around the room with a smile on her face that can captivate the people. Every move she makes is graceful and charming.
"She is my daughter." Arthur introduces his daughter.
"Hello, my name is Elisabeth." Elisabeth
"Natalie." Natalie
"Eric." Eric
After the greetings, all the people sit around the table to discuss.
"Did you find a method that can hide the power of the witch." Arthur
"I have not found a method." King says with a regretful look. "When did she wake the power of the witch?"
Arthur looks at his daughter. "It has been a month since she awakens."
"The only solution is to learn control her power." King
"How can she control her power?" Arthur
"My wife's sister left a book with me on how to control the power of the witch. She left it because my daughter is also a witch and she was afraid that she can not control her power." King
All the people shocked by the sudden revelation of the King. Arthur is excited that his daughter can control her power.
"Have you used your power?" Natalie
"No, I have not." Elisabeth
Eric goes near Natalie. "She is more beautiful than you." Eric whispers at her ear.
Natalie is angry by the words of Eric but she can not retort because Elisabeth has a unique aura.
"Continue your conversation." The King says before he leaves the room with Arthur.
"Have you used your power?" Elisabeth
"I used them to heal my dad." Natalie
"How did you control your power?" Elisabeth
Natalie looks at Eric before she answers "with my thought."
Elisabeth does not understand what Natalie means. "Can you explain it?"
"Eric helped me control the power." Natalie
Eric looks at the two women and he sighs. "Try to feel the power that is inside your body."
Eric sees Elisabeth try to feel the power inside but her effort is without success.
"Relax before you try again." Eric instructs Elisabeth
Elisabeth follows the instruction and she feels hot. Eric and Natalie see around Elisabeth a red aura and the temperature in the room increase.
Eric smiles and he looks at Natalie. He gives a quick kiss at her lips.
"Pervert." Natalie whispers
"You can stop now." Eric says at Elisabeth.
Elisabeth opens her eyes and she smiles. She is happy that she can use her power.
"Thank you." Elisabeth
"Natalie, is Eric your boyfriend?" Elisabeth says with a mischievous smile.
"No." Natalie
"Can I take him for myself?" Elisabeth grasps Eric's hand. Eric did not care about the move of Elisabeth.
"What are you doing?" Natalie
"I hold his hand." Elisabeth says with a smile.
"You can not do this." Natalie
"Why?" Elisabeth
"Because this action is improper." Natalie
Elisabeth sees the strange behavior of Natalie and she lets the hand of Eric.
"Ladies I must find the King to give me the herb." Eric leaves the room
Both women look at the back of Eric with a strange expression.

Follow the story of Steven Torres, who was abducted from his world with his classmates only to be thrown away into a chaotic world as the most hated race.

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D
