LEGENDS: The Fall (Season, #3) ✔️

Scent of Solace

Abyss
Castle

Ni minsan ay hindi naisip ni Beryl na titira siya sa Kastilyo. At ni minsan ay mas lalong hindi niya inisip na hindi maganda ang paglipat niya dito. Yes, again, at such unfortunate circumstance she was forced to share a room with him. The beast who devastated half of the Castle's bailey.

The Archduke was punished several moments ago for a reason she don't know. And no one expected that Chalcedony would lose his shit and go berserk. Because he actually did lose his cool, the Archduke went mad and destroyed the Castle's ground hall until the Bailey. It's been hours but he's still not calming down, he's tied very well to a hideous room. It was a beautiful room earlier, not until the Archduke began slamming everything, breaking things like trashes.

He's a half beast now. Though he doesn't transform into a wild crazy huge animal, his features changes. His horns were now showing intimidatingly, his eyes turning into crimson. The scar on one of his eye showed vivid aura. His fangs were threatening and his drools as well as blood were swiftly dropping down his sweaty body.

But Celestial Beryl is indeed lucky to witness this still moderate situation. Yes, this is still a moderate situation for an angry beast even though he actually destroyed a part of the Castle already. This is far nothing from the beast he was supposed to transform whenever he gets mad. Good thing he was prevented, now he's tied up, growling against the night in the messy room.

Hindi maintindihan ni Celestial kung bakit nakakaramdam siya ng awa sa Archduke. Ni hindi niya alam ang ugat na pinagmulan ng galit nito, ngunit hindi niya kayang panuorin na nagkakaganoon ang Archduke. Maaaring tama si Clifton, nakakatakot magalit ang Archduke. Moderate pa ito sa kalagayan nito ngayon, paano pa kung maging extreme na ang pagkagalit nito? Baka mawasak nito ang buong Kastilyo sa pagwawala.

Chalcedony was growling, howling badly against the chains. And Beryl couldn't help but to stare in sympathy. She always thought royals are well served, but this one is different. Chalcedony was treated differently amongst other royals. They chains him under a basement, they don't feed him, they punish him like a prisoner, they do him things a royal must not experience.

And right now, she just wants to calm him down. How do you calm a berserk beast? How do you soothe a mad man? How do you-- how did she used to relax everything in her own way? Celestial Beryl must have totally forgotten how she lived before, because none in her reminiscence gives her the idea of how she used to calm and heal people before.

She stared at him again and he glared at her. "You fucking sleep outside!" He growled.

Yup, they must share a room for the night because the Archduke was punished and was deprived for a good shelter. And the room she was supposed to stay was devastated by his truly. And now he has the guts to tell her to sleep outside of her supposed to be personal room?

She rolled her eyes and came to approach him instead. Her gazes traced his bloody body, his chest heavily moving, his hands barely stilled. It's perfectly cuffed as well as his legs and feet, he's perfectly chained.

"Get the fuck out!" He growled once again.

She raised her hands as if signing to surrender, "I've nothing against you, for heaven's sake calm down!"

Chalcedony glared daggers at her that if she's not used to it she'll die on her spot.

"Calm down," she said, almost finding her soothing voice. The voice the people used to hear from her, the voice she neglected, the tone they once adored.

How did she use to be so soothing before?

The Archduke howled in desperate elegy and tried to attack her. But one wrong move and he was sent back slamming to the wall. He was chained not only by metal links but also by magic. In short, he was cursed to be chained until morning.
