Chapter 661: Aldric Wanted A Harem

"No!" Islinda bolted up with a startled scream. She was wide-eyed and covered in cold sweats. Looking around the familiar environment, she recognized she was back in her room and was able to calm down.

She recalled the vision vividly and Islinda shuddered at the last scene right before she was roused back to reality. What the hell had Azula done? Islinda rubbed her chest which was still running quickly. Intuition told her that whatever Azula had done could not be anything good and it strangely bothered her. She could feel it, Something ominous lingered in the air. This was just the calm before the storm.

With a sigh, Islinda pulled the sheet away and was about to step out of the bed, only to freeze.

"Impossible... " Islinda muttered from the shock, because standing in the middle of her room was a familiar beautiful looking white cat.

"P-prince Wayne?" Islinda called unsure.. It felt as if she was seeing things right now.

But the cat meowed in response and happiness like no other filled Islinda and her expression lit up as she left her bed and ran over to the cat, picking it from the ground, and embracing it.

"Oh Wayne...." Islinda cried out, tightening the embrace, "I missed you so much. Forgive this irresponsible owner. But don’t worry, we would never be separated ever again."

And to that, Prince Wayne concurred with a purr, or so Islinda thought. Because the real Wayne relished the embrace by leaning into the princess, burying his face into her neck and inhaling her scent. She smelled good. Heavenly. Just like he remembered. Her scent was becoming more potent.It was almost time! She will be out soon! His betrothed no longer slumbered!

"Your highness, I come bearing news," said Former High lord Karle to Aldric who was in a meeting with other Faeries.

Ever since the massacre in the grand hall, it was safe to say that the other "living" cabinet members have been "functional". Everyone went about their duties with honesty, fear and trembling. The High Faeries having illicit deals with other courts, especially the summer court, ended the business at once, scared that Aldric would come for them as well. If not murder them while they slept — that is if they are able to sleep at all.

In one word, there was a full revolutionary change going on in the winter court in the course of just a few days of Prince Aldric’s arrival and ascension as High lord. One of the high Fae with a lot of skeletons in his cupboard had sought to restitute for his crimes by opening his storehouse and supplying food free of charge to the citizens of the winter court. He hoped that by showcasing his benevolent deeds, the dark Fae prince would show him mercy and overlook his past transgressions.

Well, Aldric did spare him. So far.

Hence that prompted other corrupted High lords to follow in the same pattern and opened their storehouses to the masses. In one word, food prices that had been very expensive in the winter court, such that the common citizen could no longer afford and became destitute, crashed to the very zero and nearly every poor Faery in the winter court gathered enough food that would last them a month in their homes.
