《Memorybound》Chapter 08

Hailey looked at the queen and waited for her to tell her what she already knew. How was she going to do this job when the people she was supposed to work closest with didn’t believe in her?
The queen watched the doctor with her husband. Hailey waited.
“Are you going to tell me or not?” She felt frustrated.
“Fine. Yes, the king has been dying. It has gone on for a while now, but in the past few weeks, it has gotten worse. The doctors are doing everything they can for him, but I don’t think he’s going to last much longer.”
The queen looked at her husband. “The reason we haven’t told anyone is because we are trying to stop the public from panicking. Can you imagine what would happen if the city knew?”
Hailey swallowed. She could imagine. It could be bad. They could storm the castle and demand to know what was going to happen to the kingdom or set out into the forest to try to make it to one of the other cities.
The queen looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes. “I don’t know what’s going to happen to the kingdom. I can’t tell the public that the heir is dying and we just don’t know what’s going to happen next. Will the power of the heir pass to my daughter? Will she be able to protect the kingdom while she’s still asleep?”
“I don’t know. Barinon didn’t know either. He had worried about what would happen. He even ignored the dragon in an attempt to free the princess.”
“Look, I’m sorry we didn’t tell you about the Theodric. He has been suffering with this for so long and there was nothing that Barinon could do for him. We just didn’t think that you would be able to help.”

Hailey nodded, still feeling like they didn’t have any faith in her. Otherwise, they would have said something. It was just ‘do this thing right now’ with no real reasons why. Obviously, the princess needed to be freed, but she had had no idea that the king was suffering, that she had a very limited amount of time.
“I’m sorry about being so short with you in the throne room, but maybe you understand now why I keep asking you to work faster. I shouldn’t have lashed out the way I did.”
“Do you know how the power is transferred? Does the heir need to be touching the king when he dies?”
Endolynn shook her head. “Theodric might know, but Barinon was the expert on it. It might be something for you to research when you have a spare moment.”
Queen Endolynn took Hailey by the shoulders. “You have to figure this out before he dies.” She began to sob, dropping her hands to her side. Hailey had always thought of the queen as a graceful, somewhat cold person. It was shocking to see her cry like this. “I don’t want to loose my husband, but I none of us last forever. To lose the entire kingdom and then to know that my daughter will wake seventy years after the entire kingdom has fallen. It’s my worst nightmare.” Then she broke down into sobs.
Hailey felt awkward. Do you hug a queen? Clearly, the woman needed comforting but she was not that close to her. Finally, the queen dabbed at her eyes.
“I will do everything I can to ensure that the princess is sent free from the spell. I am sorry for being angry with you, too.”
The queen hugged her then, and Hailey let the queen of all Taivalon cry on her shoulder.

Until Death? (Refleshed Version)
Ever been a god? Well, I was! Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods! Apparently, they didn't like the whole "My Faith is the only true one!" idea. Oh, and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? In my defense, I want it to be known that my enemies threw the first stone and the whole 'Offer the other cheek' just isn't my thing. Seems like, for punishment, I get sent onto a vacation! Or so I hope? ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: It's here, a rewrite? Yes! I would like to think that this version will have better grammar, better jokes, hopefully, everything better. Since it was my first work and started solely to improve my English, the grammar always caused me headaches when I looked at it. Well, and there are the plotholes which appeared with the whole multiverse thing that came with my other works... Let's just say that the first one was never written with the idea of turning it into a series. So let's get a shovel and fill-up the plot so that hapless readers won't fall into those pitch-black pits. They might break a knee! Or worse, vanish forever. And now the disclaimer everyone knows: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

What?! The world outside the village is full of villains.
Saulo Delanova is a young Amish. He doesn't use electricity, travels by horse and carriage, and eats what he sows in a community with a traditional lifestyle, rural and voluntarily separated from modern society. A community that for foreign eyes is frozen in time. When he decides to experience the modernity that he heard so much about the cities outside of his region, a theft forces him to stop on his way to the capital city. The situation would be manageable if it weren't for a detail. In his community they live under the principles of nonviolence! In a world where each being is born with an identifying color, can summon a weapon and fight with the power of the elements -or what is known as trinity or three characteristics of a user-, villains abound because of this power that each person can easily use. Ignorant of the life in the country's most important city, Saul will have to face culture shock to adapt to this outside world unknown to him, and to the people and events that will make him fall into the bowels of the world of temptations. Cover illustration by Demizu Posuka, illustrator of Yakusoku no Neverland (The Promised Neverland).
