Chapter 85: The Attack
Annalise wasn’t sure what she was expecting as the result but she couldn’t deny the happiness and feeling of achievement that filled her heart when Damien’s spell came undone and the carriage door flew open.
What met her gaze was pure darkness and the dense fog that was surrounding the carriage. She hesitated about stepping down from the carriage as even her enhanced eyesight was no match to the fog and she was unable to see anything at all.
No matter how restless she was to find her husbands but she wasn’t a fool. She couldn’t just head into the fog without knowing where to go. In the end, she would not only fail in finding her husbands but even lose the protection of the carriage.
"My Lord?" She called out for Lord Damien again but only silence answered her back. At this point, she was almost getting worried for the second dark lord. "My lord, are you out there?"
Dark Lords!
The realization hit her hard. Her husbands had been always known as the three Dark Lords. No one in the entire empire knew their names, and even she came to know their names after their marriage.
They were always addressed as the three Dark Lords of the Cursed Castle.
When she asked her elders why they were called the Dark Lords, she got to know that it was something that had been passed down for centuries. While most people of the Seelie Empire only lived up to a maximum of two centuries, the dark lords were rumored to be residing in the Cursed Castle for over four centuries.
At that time, she always thought that the people called them so because of their link with the cursed castle. Three lords who lived in a castle that was rumored to be the home of darkness, so people started calling them Dark Lords. Little did she know how naive she was.
