They were everywhere, and we were completely surrounded.

It seemed that all hope was lost.

But then I remembered the phrase that my grandma had taught me so many years ago.

I said it, and then my powers kicked in.

Yes, I know what you're thinking.

An MSA fantasy story.

This is the best day of my life.

But before you get to witness me kicking bad guys' butts with my super cool powers, you have to know the full story.

So once upon a time in a not so magical place, She has trust issues.

Trust issues?

How can I trust someone who forgets my birthday and uses my toothbrush for fixing his eyebrows?

He even tricked me into marrying him.

I was so naive back then.

Yeah, naive.

I've seen that.

Remember the vending machine incident?

You knocked it over because your coin got stuck and then blamed me.

And what about when you babysat our neighbor's kid?

You gave him cough syrup to make him sleep.

And don't even get me started on the time you decided to wash the vacuum motor in the sink.

Okay, maybe I wasn't thinking clearly with the vending machine.

And the kid needed to nap, right?

As for the vacuum, it did say washable filter.

How was I supposed to know the motor wasn't part of that?

I'm just thorough.

Okay, okay, time out.

Let's take a deep breath and think of five reasons why you chose each other in the first place.

We didn't.

Why don't we start from the beginning?

Kiara, you go first.

Okay.

Hi, my name is Kiara, and I'm from...

We already know that.

Let her talk.

Before I tell you my story, please like and subscribe.

Like what?

Subscribe where?

What are you talking about?

Stop interrupting me!

Nicholas?

OK, my bad.

Please keep going, honey.

I had a happy life and grew up in a ginormous family in the countryside of Macedonia.

Our house was tiny and packed.

Living under one roof were mom, dad, my uncle, his wife, their three kids, my mom's sister, dad's stepsister, my sister, and grandma.

Oh, right, and our dog Bruno, three cats, two iguanas, and even a dragon.

My bad.

That was just my nephew, Marcos.

You try having some privacy living with all these people.

We were still happy.

Okay, chaotic, but happy.

We were so poor that everybody had to chip in.

While my parents and uncles worked, I joined my grandmother at the town fair.

She ran a healing stall, selling herbs and homemade remedies.

A dash of this and your headache will take a head hike.

Since I was a kid, I loved learning from my gran.

She was so wise, and doing potions with her was so fun.

I felt like a real wizard.

Still, at first, I was pretty bad at it.

It was like watching a monkey or a millionaire trying to make an omelet.

Only two drops of Butolaki's essence.

Ah, this is impossible. Be patient.

Whenever you feel that there is no hope, just remember these words.

Well, to be honest, guys, I don't remember the exact words.

My grandmother was always teaching me different words and phrases in her old language, even though I had no clue what those meant.

Ankyloplaneus miacusivetrilo?

What is it, some kind of mantra or prayer?

No, just the new

Wi -Fi password.

She used to tell me that she learned everything from her great -grandmother, who was the best healer in the region.

You are just like me and her.

You, too, have the gift.

When I was 12 and going through aggressive puberty, some kid told me that I stank after gym class.

I'll show you who stinks.

So I created my first potion, which Which made sweat smell like a bouquet of jasmine.

This is the Jasmine Whiff Potion.

Because who needs deodorant when you can have a magical garden in your armpits?

Side effects may include dizziness, depression, hair loss, putty fatigue, extreme hair growth, temporary blindness, and bad odor.

Okay, it wasn't perfect, but don't be so harsh.

It was my first potion, and my Grammy was really proud of me.

That same night, she gave me something really special.

Her necklace.

This family heirloom has been in our family for generations.

Now, it's your turn to carry it.

Put it on.

Do you like it?

Not really.

It's like ancient and old and too ugly for me.

Definitely not my style.

Oh, what's wrong with you?

Well, that's a big question.

I don't know why I blurted it out.

It seems like I didn't care about the impact of my words, but I really did.

I still love it, Grandma.

More coming from you.

I love you.

Over the years, I didn't get any better at holding my truth vomit.

It was like I was a professional snitch.

Whenever I saw any wrongdoing, I would report it.

100

Like the time Marcos tried to hide the couch by turning the cushion over.

101

What's that smell?

102

Marcos peed on the couch.

103

Oops.

104

You see?

105

I can't help it.

106

That day, my sister had her first date.

107

Mom covered the smell with talcum powder.

108

But he sat right there.

109

Is your sister ready?

110

It's kind of damp here.

111

Oh, just water.

112

No, that's actually Marcos' pee.

113

And she is almost ready.

114

She's just finishing stuffing her bra.

115

Tiara!

116

I'm gonna kill you!

117

My life was just that of a regular teenage alchemist, you know?

118

But then, when I turned 16, it took a wild turn.

119

A royal envoy visited my village, and my school organized a talent fair in their honor.

120

I know, what an honor to watch a bunch of clumsy teens trying to perform.

121

I'm not talking about him.

122

That was awesome.

123

He's my favorite so far.

124

While most of the girls.. sang or danced, I did a potion show.

125

I was like a true wizard creating something absolutely revolutionary.

126

This potion can transform anybody into an amazing dancer.

127

I need a volunteer, one that's a really horrible dancer.

128

Come on, Principal Pandev, drink the potion and feel the music.

129

He drank my potion and then started dancing like he was in a K -pop group.

130

After such a display of magic, I obviously won the contest.

131

However, the prize was more than I had asked for.

132

Turns out the royal envoys were not just there to admire our talents.

133

On behalf of the royal court, we would like to ask you for your hand in marriage.

134

For the Count.

135

It is tradition that the Count marries the most talented girl in all the land.

136

Wait, what?

137

Did I just win a marriage proposal?

138

And if you think this is very Cinderella or another

139

Disney princess, it's because I'm like a Disney princess.

140

Um...

141

Don't you dare say another word.

142

Like I was saying, I was just like a Disney princess.

143

I didn't want to marry some count I didn't even know.

144

What is this, the 10th century?

145

I was more than ready to say no, but we had been poor for so long.

146

My father had been fired recently and my uncle had an accident.

147

Don't worry, he's fine.

148

He just fell from his hammock when he was sleeping and snoring and he broke like four ribs.

149

My grandmother's stand wasn't doing so well either.

150

Apparently, modern people prefer conventional medicine.

151

I'll give it a B for boring and BOO!

152

I knew that marrying a Count would be a game changer for us, like going from.

153

So I did it for my family, under the condition that we wouldn't get married until I was 18.

154

Still, I had to go to the Count's castle, known as the Dracon Castle.

155

Well, the place was absolutely huge, like a super mansion.

156

It had rooms on rooms on rooms on rooms, but almost all of them were completely empty.

157

Then I met my mother -in -law.

158

If this were a Disney movie, she would be the wicked stepmother.

159

Let's just say we didn't start with the right foot.

160

I must say you have a massive place.

161

Imagine losing your remote control here.

162

You would have to call a rescue team to find it.

163

Or you'd need a GPS.

164

By the way, I have a potion for removing wrinkles.

165

I can see that you really need it.

166

Stop talking, Kiera.

167

I beg you.

168

We'll have the engagement party tonight.

169

Get ready.

170

Tonight?

171

But my family isn't here.

172

That's a shame.

173

But this isn't the kind of party for people like your family anyway.

174

I wanted to punch her.

175

But before I knew it, I had already been captured by the maids who did my hair, makeup, and dressed me.

176

The final result was horrible.

177

I look so horrible.

178

My hair looks like Mary Antoinette's.

179

And this dress is the ugliest one I've ever seen.

180

That's the dress I and my mother and my grandmother got engaged in.

181

Well, I guess not everybody has the class to pull it off.

182

The class?

183

You mean the big hips, right?

184

Oh, I'm so sorry.

185

I meant I'm just more of a pants girl.

186

Yes, I can tell that.

187

The night came, and it was a giant masquerade ball.

188

Everybody was so uptight that if they were noodles, they'd be straight up spaghetti sticks.

189

I felt so out of place that I took the first opportunity to sneak out of there.

190

While I was trying to get back to my room, I got lost and ended up in their greenhouse.

191

The place was full of weird and exotic herbs and plants.

192

Bingo.

193

I started taking various plants and putting them inside my dress when someone caught me red -handed.

194

Or should I say, dirt -handed.

195

Are you stealing plants?

196

Even with the mask on, you could tell the guy was ridiculously good -looking.

197

He also had a really cool dragon tattoo on his neck and chest.

198

I'm not stealing them.

199

I'm just borrowing them.

200

I'll return them later.

201

Right.

202

What are you going to do with those anyway?

203

Sell them on eBay?

204

No. For your information, I'm a healer, an alchemist.

205

Is that so?

206

Then show me.

207

I was about to tell him that I wasn't some circus monkey ready to perform tricks on command, but he seemed genuinely interested and,

208

again, he was ridiculously good -looking.

209

Hey, don't judge me, guys.

210

Okay, just a small potion.

211

We sneaked into the kitchen, and I started mixing some ingredients, and soon, bubbles of all colors started pouring out and dancing in the air.

212

Wow, that's really impressive.

213

I turned around, and he was right behind me.

214

We stood facing each other, just inches apart.

215

Okay, now you can judge me.

216

It's my engagement party, and I'm about to kiss a random guy.

217

We came back to the ballroom, and right then, cue the creepy thunder, my soon -to -be mother -in -law entered.

218

When she saw us, she smiled.

219

Ah, so you two have officially met.

220

Wait, what?

221

You're Nicholas?

222

My future husband?

223

Nicholas smiled, but he didn't look as surprised as me.

224

I was expecting my future husband to be a nasty old man.

225

But Nicholas was so dreamy.

226

Maybe this arranged marriage isn't such a bad idea.

227

Over the next few years, we spent all our time together.

228

He taught me how to behave like royalty while I showed him how to do some simple potions.

229

Or at least how to try to do simple potions.

230

In no time, we two fell completely in love.

231

Once, he returned from horseback riding with a small cut near his neck from a branch.

232

While I was applying the potion to his neck, what's the thing with the dragon tattoo?

233

Aren't you too young to have a tattoo?

234

A long time ago, our region was separated between three houses, so I got it from my father's house,

235

the House of Draco, also known as the House of Warriors.

236

And why does your mother have a tattoo of a crow?

237

That's the House of Valthor, the most traditional and ambitious people.

238

Royalty of the royalty.

239

Right.

240

And what about the third house?

241

Who belongs there?

242

Nobody.

243

That's the House of Zoria.

244

That was the house for people of the darkness.

245

That's why it was portrayed with an owl.

246

But that one disappeared centuries ago.

247

Nobody belongs to the house of Zorya anymore.

248

I didn't say anything back then, but it was clear why his mother's house was represented with a crow.

249

Because she was as creepy and mean as one.

250

Really, she was so controlling and overbearing.

251

She separated me from my family after sending them a TV and some monthly tributes.

252

It was like they had bought me.

253

Not only could I not visit them, but I couldn't even speak to them.

254

They favored letters.

255

You know, the traditional way.

256

I just want to tell her that

257

Master Chef is on right now.

258

This will take weeks to reach her.

259

My house, my rules.

260

Your rules make as much sense as your interior decor style.

261

Zero.

262

A big, fat, flashy zero with a capital Z.

263

Babe, I know she can be difficult sometimes, but she wasn't always like this.

264

After we lost my dad, she became scared of losing those she loves.

265

That's why she's so controlling.

266

Back then, we only had each other.

267

Now, we have you too.

268

So, I really hope our love can endure this.

269

What do you say?

270

How can I say no to that?

271

Of course, babe.

272

What can I say?

273

Love is my only weakness.

274

Oh, and doing potions.

275

Oh, and the truth.

276

Oh, and those videos of dads giving their kids new puppies.

277

Those are so emotional.

278

Soon, I turned 18, and we had the biggest wedding of the century.

279

I had never felt happier.

280

But after that, things really went downhill.

281

My mother -in -law got worse.

282

She had servants follow me around, even when I went to the garden.

283

Well, granted, the garden is about a thousand acres.

284

More than once, I tried to lose them.

285

But there always seemed to be a pair of extra eyes on me.

286

It was as if she was afraid that I would run away.

287

But run away from what?

288

From my handsome husband or from my new castle?

289

Something is off here.

290

The next night, I sneaked into the reading room while they did their Shakespeare reading hour.

291

I settled under a desk.

292

For the first 45 minutes, they just read, but I remained fully focused on my mission.

293

Finally, they started talking.

294

The time to do the ritual is here.

295

Ritual?

296

Mother, how come you are so sure that the witch is Kiara's great -great -great -grandmother.

297

Witch?

298

She has the necklace.

299

My necklace?

300

That moronic little girl is the key to lifting our curse.

301

Moronic?

302

I mean, curse?

303

My head was spinning.

304

Oh my god, these people are completely insane.

305

I couldn't believe that Nicholas had used me like that and was planning to betray me.

306

I felt devastated.

307

I need to escape right away.

308

Before I left, just to show Nicholas how angry I was, I snuck into his room,

309

transformed his underpants into origami and spread red chili on all of his wardrobes.

310

Then I jumped out of my window and tried to sneak through the garden, but one guard spotted me.

311

Soon, I was surrounded by guards.

312

However, I had an ace up my sleeve, my explosive powder.

313

I just grabbed some and boom!

314

I started running, but the guards soon caught up with me.

315

This time, led by her.

316

Leave me alone, you monster in law!

317

At that moment, Nicholas, driving a sports car, came to my rescue.

318

Come with me!

319

I got in the car and we drove away.

320

But as soon as the castle disappeared from sight, I reached into my back to grab something to get him talking.

321

But all I got was mint leaves.

322

These aren't just any herbs.

323

I just have to rub it on your head and poof.

324

You'll go bald forever.

325

Now start talking, you liar, coward, deceitful snake.

326

Okay, okay, please calm down.

327

It turned out Nicholas believed

328

I descended from an ancient witch who had cursed his great -great -great -grandfather after he stole her magic necklace, this one?

329

Yes.

330

It was supposed to make him a fair and just ruler, but he took it by force, and that unleashed a curse on my family.

331

He tried to return it, and when that didn't work,

332

he spread the word that your great -great -great -grandmother and her families were witches to exile them.

333

His great -great -great -grandfather doesn't sound so great.

334

Still, the curse stood.

335

From then on, all the males in my family died prematurely, like my dad.

336

So my mom groomed me all my life to marry the witch's descendant, the new necklace's owner, to break the curse.

337

That was my whole purpose in life.

338

But then I met you, and I completely fell in love.

339

Everything sounded completely mental, but somehow I knew he wasn't lying.

340

After watching how stubborn you are,

341

my mom realized you would never give us the necklace voluntarily and planned a horrific ritual to force you to do so.

342

I just couldn't let that happen.

343

I'd rather have a short life with you by my side than a long one without you.

344

Aww, trust me, these are all tales and you're not cursed.

345

I feel it.

346

That is an ending worthy of a romantic fantasy, right?

347

Unfortunately, things in real life are not.. that simple.

348

After escaping from there, Nicholas and I lay low for months, traveling non -stop to escape his mother.

349

Eventually, we settled in a big city to go unnoticed and start a new life.

350

I tried to leave the past behind, but I just couldn't.

351

I felt Nicholas wasn't trustworthy, and when I hit a vending machine, the police got involved, and seeing our fight there,

352

they advised us to see a therapist.

353

So that's why we're here.

354

No matter how much I do to show her that I really love her.

355

Nicholas, I want to believe you.

356

I really do.

357

But how can I trust someone who lied for years and was about to sacrifice me as a pawn?

358

If you want my professional opinion, Nicholas is absolutely right.

359

I don't think you're supposed to take sides.

360

Kiara, you need to let go of the past and trust people.

361

And how can I do that?

362

Let's start with something simple.

363

Give me the necklace.

364

What?

365

Just for a moment, show us that you can trust.

366

Um, I, no, I'm not giving you my necklace.

367

Okay, so we are gonna have to do things the hard way.

368

Mom, what the?

369

That's right, don't try anything.

370

You're surrounded.

371

Guards came out from everywhere and captured us.

372

Soon, they dragged us to an abandoned factory.

373

Mom, stop, let her go.

374

Shut up, bring my son to me.

375

The guards grabbed Nicholas.

376

I know you'll never give me that necklace.

377

So let's try something different.

378

If you don't give it to me this instant, Nicholas will be the one paying for it.

379

Mom!

380

Shut up, you traitor.

381

I'm gonna count to three.

382

One.

383

Don't do it, Kiara!

384

Two.

385

Okay, you win.

386

Just have it, but don't hurt him.

387

After so much time, finally, I have the necklace and his power.

388

How could you use me like that?

389

Would you have done it?

390

I would do anything for supreme power.

391

Oh wait, that's not what I wanted to say.

392

What just happened?

393

So there wasn't a curse to begin with?

394

Is Kiara's ancestor a real witch?

395

Of course not.

396

I made that up just to control you because I couldn't take the necklace by force alone.

397

There was no curse.

398

And Kiara's family were not witches, but healers.

399

Our ancestors said that to make people exile them and steal their castles and wealth.

400

So their castle belongs to my family?

401

And all this time we've been living in a mouse house?

402

Why do I keep telling the truth?

403

And that's when it hit me.

404

The necklace has real powers, But it isn't blowing people up or firing laser beams.

405

Oh my gosh, that is the real power of the necklace.

406

To be a true, fair ruler, the wearer can never tell a lie.

407

No wonder I couldn't stop telling the truth and snitching on people when I got the necklace.

408

I'm gonna end you two right now.

409

She raised her arms and began to gather strength.

410

The earth seemed to move and lightning began to fall from the sky.

411

However, when she tried to use her powers, nothing happened.

412

What's wrong?

413

The legend says this should give real power to its owner.

414

You're not the real owner of the necklace.

415

You're right.

416

I'm not.

417

Not as long as you are still alive.

418

Guards, do it yourself.

419

So this is where we were in the beginning.

420

The guards were everywhere, and we were completely surrounded.

421

It seemed that all hope was lost.

422

Then I remembered my grandma's words.

423

Whenever you feel that there is no hope, just remember these words.

424

Still, I couldn't remember the words.

425

What the hell was it?

426

I just started shouting everything that came to my mind.

427

Carpe diem!

428

Avada Kedavra!

429

Hakuna Madonna!

430

Say hello to my little friend!

431

Nothing worked, and the guards were almost on us.

432

Nicholas put himself in front of me to protect me.

433

The thought of losing him opened something inside me, and as if I was possessed, I screamed, Agape Vasilive!

434

After that, everything went haywire.

435

The necklace flew off my mother -in -law's neck into mine, but I had it with me again.

436

I felt a violent current of energy run through my body.

437

It's hard to explain, but it was as if I was part of the earth, part of the air, and I could control it.

438

As the guards lunged at us, a mere flick of my wrists sent them hurling through the air.

439

Soon, I found myself suspended in midair while lightning bolts crackled around me.

440

Nicholas grabbed a sword and helped me defeat them.

441

Not that I needed much help, honestly.

442

When all the guards were either defeated or had escaped, I went back to normal.

443

Nicholas ran to me and hugged me with a smile.

444

Remind me to never make you mad.

445

My mother -in -law was crawling to get away, but we caught her before she did.

446

Disagreements are normal in any family, right?

447

Yeah, right.

448

We put her in prison so that she would never hurt anyone again.

449

And then we moved to our castle.

450

Of course, my family came along.

451

There were so many of us that even there we were cramped.

452

But we didn't care.

453

You know what they say.

454

True happiness is about being close to the people you love you

De “th”-klanken: grandmother /ˈɡɹæn(d)ˌmʌðɚ/, grandfather /ˈɡɹæn(d)ˌfɑðɚ/, worthy /ˈwɝ.ði/, gather /ˈɡæðɚ/, thunder /ˈθʌndɚ/
De klanken “sh” en “zh”: capture /ˈkæp.(t)ʃɚ/, conventional /kənˈvɛnʃənl̩/, revolutionary /ˌɹɛvəˈluʃənɛɹi/, harsh /ˈhɑɹʃ/, shout /ʃaʊt/
Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: ridiculously /ɹɪˈdɪk.jə.ləs.li/, temporary /ˈtɛmp(əˌɹ)ɛɹi/, revolutionary /ˌɹɛvəˈluʃənɛɹi/, genuinely /ˈd͡ʒɛn.ju.ɪn.li/, ingredient /ɪnˈɡɹiːdi.ənt/

/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: grandmother /ˈɡɹæn(d)ˌmʌðɚ/, dragon /ˈdɹæɡən/, grandma /ˈɡɹænmɑː/, engagement /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ.mənt/, grandfather /ˈɡɹæn(d)ˌfɑðɚ/

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
