Knowing how uncommon it was for him to be standing on the balcony, Nikolai sighed as he adapted his breathing to the chilly wind that swept on his skin. One might even believe he didn’t have one. He even doubted that Ophelia was aware. The idea almost made him smile.

Two clear doors with heavy black curtains draped over them. He made it that way because he anticipated that she would flee. After all, she had wings. She sprang from the railing, her golden wings spread, and her body vanished into the foreboding clouds. He tried to banish that fantasy by closing his eyes.

He had chased after Ophelia to the ballroom that evening, but he was suddenly distracted by someone… Or was it.. something? A smell that attracted him. A fragrance of gentle, newly budding flowers that was contaminated by dew from the previous/night. In a world where winter was the only season. Sadly, finding such a smell proved difficult and alluring.❤

Without a doubt but strong reluctance, he searched and followed the scent that drew him like a magnet to iron and temporarily obliterated Ophelia from his memory.

But when he heard a certain annoying fairy’s scream, he startled back to reality, left the ballroom, and materialized on the top of the castle’s tallest tower, where he saw Ophelia standing on a dragon’s back with a spear protruding from her body. As soon as she fell off the dragon’s back, lifelessly, he felt his soul depart from his body.

His eyes fluttered open, shining with doubt, perplexity, and worry. “Who..” He paused when he heard a subtle purr that caught his ear.

Pain was seated next to him and was sympathetically observing him. Nikolai scowled a little. “I requested that you monitor her.” He then let out a sigh as

“She said that there was no chance for either of us, advised me to find a bride and get married, and claimed that I was causing her pain.” Resting his palm on Ophelia’s forehead and gently stroking it with his thumb, Nikolai muttered. She was as cold as a slab of ice. His pulse quickened.

“She is accurate.” said Rhaziel.

Nikolai looked at him with interest as his eyes expanded. “Is it possible that you have two mates?”
