PROLOGUE
He was a man of unparalleled beauty, with chiseled features and piercing eyes that seemed to see right through to the soul.
His chiseled face was a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, with sharp cheekbones and a strong jawline that seemed carved perfectly. His piercing grey eyes shone like the brightest stars on a clear night, radiating endlessly.
His hair was a rich, dark black and shiny, falling in soft waves that framed his face like a halo. His lips, full and inviting. His skin, a warm, bright white, seemed to glow with an inner light, as if the sun itself had kissed his flesh. He moved with the grace of a god, his powerful physique rippling beneath his skin like a living embodiment of the divine, but don’t be whipped by those features for beneath the surface lay a heart of stone, cold and unyielding
He is a Cold, heartless and an ambitious emperor, a cruel one at that. His presence speaks danger as the people feared him greatly.
EMPEROR AUGUSTUS!!!!!!
Emperor Augustus was an emperor without mercy, his rule marked by bloodshed and destruction. His very presence seemed to draw the life force out of those around him, leaving them drained and weakened. His reputation was whispered in terror throughout the land, and his name was synonymous with death and despair.
But there was a reason behind Emperor Augustus’s cruel nature, a reason that dated back generations. His forefathers, in their quest for power and dominance, had betrayed a powerful sorceress and seer, a woman who had once been their ally and friend. The sorceress, with her dying breath, had placed a curse upon the king and his descendants, a curse that would haunt them for eternity.
The curse was simple yet devastating: no member of the royal family would ever find their true love, their chosen empress. They would live out their days alone, unloved and unloving, until the end of their lives. The curse was a constant reminder to the Emperor’s of Yongjing of their forefathers’ treachery, a reminder that they would never know the joy of true love.
His heart was heavy with the weight of his own darkness, his soul tormented by the prophecy that only his true mate could set him free.
The deity’s words echoed in his mind: “Only she who bears the mark of the moon shall break the curse that binds you.”
Emperor Augustus eyes gleamed with a fierce determination as he gazed out upon the attack in his reign. His kingdom, renowned for its beauty and prosperity, had been attacked by the neighboring kingdom of Huaxia. The enemy emperor, who was fueled by jealousy and ambition, sought to claim Emperor Augustus throne and destroy all that was dear to him but was fruitless.
But fate had other plans.
As Augustus army prepared to counterattack, he spotted a glimpse of white hair amidst the chaos. She is the second daughter of the Huaxia Kingdom, as she stood trembling amidst the ruins of her kingdom. Augustus gaze locked onto hers, and for an instant, time stood still.
He had plans to finish off the Huaxia Kingdom but he stood still sparing their lives in exchange for the white haired lady.
“I’ll take the novice,” he declared, his voice low and commanding. “She will be my slave, and perhaps…my property.”
Now the question is?
Will the emperor be able to find his chosen empress and break the curse that binds him…???
Or……….
What will be the fate of the white haired lady as she is sacrificed as a slave…???
Grab ya popcorn and let go on this Ride dearies
THE CHOSEN ONE : CHAPTERS 1 – 10
HUAXIA KINGDOM~PALACE
PRINCESS AURORA CHAMBER
Aurora’s chamber was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, her maid, Ava, chatting with her.
“Milady, your hair is looking particularly lovely today,” Ava said, fussing over Aurora’s white locks. “It’s so soft and silky, like a rabbit’s fur.”
Aurora laughed, playfully rolling her eyes. “You always know just what to say to make me feel like a princess, Ava.”
But their lighthearted moment was shattered by the sound of swords clashing and screams echoing through the palace corridors.
Aurora’s eyes widened with concern, her heart racing. “what’s happening, Ava?” she asked, her voice trembling.
Ava face was pale, her eyes fearful. “i don’t know, milady. but it sounds like…like a battle.”
Aurora’s thoughts raced to her father. she rushed out of her chamber, Ava following close behind.
“Your highness, it dangerous don’t go” Ava screamed after her but Aurora didn’t heed.
She reached the throne room to find chaos and destruction. Augustus guards were slaughtering Sebastian’s soldiers, their swords stained with blood.
Augustus’s eyes blazed with anger, his face set in a fierce scowl. His divine energy pulsed through the air, making the very stones tremble. He halted his attack, his gaze fixed on the emperor.
“You should have thought of that before you crossed me, Sebastian,” Augustus growled, his voice low and menacing. “You should have thought of that before you tried attack me without notice.”
Emperor Sebastian’s face was pale, his lips trembling. He knew he had no defense against the demigod’s wrath. He knew he was at Augustus’s mercy.
Aurora’s eyes scanned the room, her heart sinking. she saw her father, on his knees, begging for mercy. Emperor Augustus stood over him, his sword raised. aurora’s sister, Odessa stood among the crowd, her eyes wide with fear, begging for mercy.
Without hesitation, Aurora rushed forward, her skirts fluttering behind her. “father!” she cried, kneeling beside him.
Sebastian’s eyes locked onto hers, filled with a mix of love, strictness and despair. “Aurora what are you doing here”
“Go back to your room, don’t come back” he gestured.
“No I won’t father” she replied stubbornly.
Her eyes met with her elder sister’s, Odessa and she glared hard at her, it obvious Odessa hated Aurora because she had been her father’s favorite.
The air was thick with tension, heavy with the weight of impending doom.
“Please, your highness, spare my life!” Sebastian pleaded, prostrating himself on the ground. His voice trembled, his eyes wide with fear. “I beg of you, have mercy!”
Suddenly, Augustus’s gaze locked onto a figure beside Sebastian. He saw a woman with hair as white as snow, crowned with a delicate tiara. Her eyes were wide with fear, her face pale. But there was something else in her eyes, something that gave Augustus pause.
“I’ll spare your life, Sebastian,” Augustus said, his eyes never leaving Aurora’s face. “I’ll spare your life, if you give her to me.” He pointed at Aurora.
