The Enchantress of Snow (Delaney Series #1)

Chapter 28: Curse Revoked

Curse Revoked

Percival's POV

I left Eira, not because I am mad but because I want her to clear her mind before we talk again. If this goes on for a few days, I will go to her city and convince her to take me back.

My mind is still clouded by how she said that she doesn't want to be with me anymore but I know that it wasn't an easy thing for her to say.

For three days, I have tried to talk with our queen together with Lord Romer but the guards are surrounding the palace saying that the queen doesn't want anyone to enter.

So now I am here in my Mansion, rotting in my study, hoping to give Eira good news before I face her again, but what can I do? My love is the only thing good I can offer her.

My mansion was nothing but dark and red, the red curtains, red couch, black table, everything was just too dark. The huge windows were covered so how will the natural light from outside come in?

"Come on, Percival, stop rotting here," Romer, my friend, said. He handed me a glass of alcohol.

I drank from the glass. "Go back in your town," I leaned on my wooden chair and placed my head on the top rail and then looked out my mansion's high ceiling.

"You look like shit, Percival,"

I gave Romer a bored look before putting a cigarette in my mouth while my other hand was still holding the glass. "Leave, Romer."

He sighed but he obeyed me, he turned his back at me and slowly walked out and then he raised his hand like waving goodbye. "Fix yourself Percival, what if the Empress comes and visits you? You look like a guard from the underworld, too far from their dark lord," he said before opening the door.

"Shut up," she wouldn't come here.

I sighed and then brought my cigarette back to my lips, seconds later the smoke filled my mouth. Why do I even have these cigarettes on my mouth when it should be her lips?

Uminom ako ulit at nilagay ang sigarilyo ko sa ashtray.

I poured more alcohol into my glass and drank it in one shot before deciding to get up and walked outside.

Bravavalle, being the land of fire manipulators, was too far for someone's imagination, it was surrounded by mountains, the town was lively. My only question is, why are some of the people living here wearing the same bracelet as my brother?

Do they respect him that much?

A man went to me. "Magandang araw, Percival, maari mo bang sabihin kay Romer na may ipinadala akong sulat sa kanya?"

Tumango ako rito. "Sasabihin ko sa kanya kapag nag kita kami ulit."

When I got satisfied from walking around, I decided to go back to my mansion, but before I could even enter my dark mansion, I turned around when I felt something cold hit my face.

I looked up to the sky and realized that it was snowing.

How?

It's impossible to snow here in Bravavalle. But what shocked me was the searing pain in my chest.

The first fall of snow in my town brought too much pain, I eventually kneeled and held my chest. It was so painful that I wasn't able to utter any words, no sound came out of my mouth.

Why is it so painful?

I heard screams from the people nearby, they sounded like they were in so much pain, do they feel the same thing I do? I started panting, my vision was getting blurry. I brought my hand to my chest and gently punched it, hoping to stop the pain but it did nothing.
