Blood and Darkness Chapter 26: Beyond Death
Demitri, his brothers and Prince Evan joined us in our table with Father, Orion, Lucia and her parents, Aunt Amelia and Uncle Benedict. I then started explaining to my newly found family what I had went, how I met Demitri and how I became the crown princess of Solterra. They all were surprised, of course except Orion and Lucia because they had known it all along. Demitri also announced to everyone that we are getting married as soon as possible.Marriage has never been in my mind ever since. It felt like I am too young for it and I still have so many things to do, to discover, to explore, without a man beside me. Before, I always wanted to be independent. Someone who doesn't depend on others. But since the moment I realized how I feel for Demitri, I knew then that I have no chance to turn back the time and avoid meeting Demitri with all my might. I have no chance of unloving him because he is the man who gave me so much hope and love. He sheltered me. He showed me the kind of affection
Blood and Darkness Chapter 27: Big Fight
"No, Ophelia. You can't go," Demitri told me with firm voice when I insisted that I should go fight with them."But-"He shut me up by putting his index finger on my lips."No buts. Please, you are pregnant with our child for Pete's sake. I don't want to put you in danger. Stay here and wait for my return. We will be back shortly after we are done with that bastard Ren Lancaster," he promised and muttered a curse. Utmost lividity was evident in his dark sea-green eyes at the mention of the man's name.Ren Lancaster is now the one who holds Frostville, a kingdom at the south near the werewolves' kingdom. After raising rebellion and killing the king, he proclaimed himself as the new king. At that time, David was there and he protected the princess he was fond of. But with Ren's dark magic, the people in Frostville were no match to him.Ren has also mastered the power of manipulation and manipulated the princess to fight David. With the princess under evil influence, David couldn't bring
Blood and Darkness Chapter 28: Boiling Anger
"Surprised, sweetheart? You see, I am also a dragon summoner. The two of us are the same. We fit for each other. I guess it's what they call destiny?""Destiny, you fool! What did you do to them?! Where is Demitri?!" I yelled and lifted my hand in the air. My blazing sword appeared and I held onto it tightly as I sauntered forward.I lashed my sword in the air, creating waves of fire, but he blocked it so fast with his wind blades."I heard you are pregnant? One month? Two? It's not visible yet so I wonder. I suggest you should just kill that child. Its father is dead, after all. You can bear mine instead."I couldn't contain my anger anymore. How dare he tell me to kill my child! How dare he! He should die today. His blood should spill in my hands. There is no forgiving for someone as evil as him.I flew towards him. The blade of my sword collided against his. Using my other hand, I gave him a heavy blow in his chest. He took a step backward and smirked as if it didn't affect him eve
Blood and Darkness Chapter 29: Mine for His
His evil laughter echoed as he blocked the arrows with his sword. It pissed me more seeing how he's enjoying this. I figured he's not just an evil asshole but also a lunatic."I am already the king of Frostville, Ophelia. And soon I will also be the king of this kingdom and will later on be the king of all kingdoms. I'm giving you a choice. If you marry me, I will give you the world as my queen. Be wise, sweetheart. Choose wisely.""You talk too much." I hissed and stomped on the ground. Fire flowed from where I was standing towards where Ren was.He leaped and launched an attack. He must have figured it out that I only want to fight him in long range. I was about to move to defend myself but my lips fell open when I couldn't.I braced myself for the pain it would give me, but to my surprise, I heard Raja's growl and Ren was slammed to the opposite wall.'That was close, My Lady. I apologize,' Raja said. 'His pet is old and quite experienced.'"No. You just came on time."I hurried to
Blood and Darkness Chapter 30: Evil to Evil
The moment I opened my eyes, I felt like I was reborn in new and more powerful body. I could feel the overflowing energy on my veins, the heat of fire around me, my soul aching for blood, and my every nerve screaming for death.Ren Lancaster's death."You really look so much more beautiful when you are all on fire. Maybe I should marry you soon. What do you think, my queen?"I moved my hands in rhythm with the beating of my heart to form the phoenix attack."First, I'm not your queen. Second, I will never marry you," I said firmly and sent him the huge blow of phoenix attack-fire that formed like a phoenix that could burn even a soul.Although he was fast enough to dodge so he won't have it bad, the blow was so powerful it still affected him. His left forearm up to his elbow was burned. I smirked. I knew he can dodge the attack, but I also knew there's no way he won't be injured.His smile vanished. There was no time to waste, I didn't give him time to recover. I sent him a rain of ar
Blood and Darkness Chapter 31: Revelation
"It's not that I don't want it, but as what I have told you, I need to do some things here because of the agreement I had with the old man. Actually, this 'old man' I'm talking about is the legendary magical healer from the west. Our queen, Queen Romina was poisoned by the poisonous flower Lily of Morte during the day of my coronation as the crown princess. No healer could make the cure aside from the magical healer so I traveled with the princes to the West Evergreen Forest. But unfortunately, the magical healer communicated with me privately and offered me the agreement. He will give the cure but in exchange, I will have to awaken his son who is cursed and sleeping in the River of Flames. And that I should also marry him. I didn't have a choice that time and I badly wanted to save the queen.""Oh God. Magical healer of the west! West Evergreen Forest... I can't believe you have went through all of that!" Lucia said, shock of all that I had said."But why were you accused and almost
Blood and Darkness Chapter 32: Whole Truth
"Are you sure you want to go to River of Flames? That place is very dangerous," Orion said again when we were out of the tavern. I don't know it if it was concern or what."I need to," I simply said. "Thank you, Lucia, Orion. But I guess we should part ways at this point?""But you don't know where the River of Flames is, right? How would you get there?""Uh, maybe I will ask some people along the way?"Lucia sighed. "You know what is the reason why I don't want to tell you where that place is? I don't want you to go there because I'm worried that something might happen to you. Even we just know each other for barely a few days, thinking that you might face something dangerous alone makes me worry like hell. Please, think twice about going to that place, Ophelia. You are already a friend to me and I hope that we can see each other again soon after we part ways here.""Will you try to awaken that man you believe is just sleeping there?"Orion's question made me stop. Lucia looked at he
Blood and Darkness Chapter 33: Lucia's Summoning
"Honestly, reading is not my hobby at all, Ophelia. So I only remember vague details about it. Plus the writer wrote it in riddles that made it more difficult to understand for me.""Riddles? What kind of riddles? Do you remember any of it?"She shook her head. "I'm sorry. I only remember one and I don't know if it could even help.""Let's just try. Maybe it could help," I said. At critical times like this, you should see hope in everything for you to see solution. Because if you go negative and full of doubts all the way, you would not solve anything."Under the full blood moon, the wind gushed softly in the middle of dawn. Cries in the forest echoed and the man in the boat kissed the shadows of dark souls..." Lucia stated the riddle she remembered.I contemplated in silence."I don't know what is the meaning behind that at all. No matter how I try, I just couldn't understand," Lucia said frustratedly."Wait... the wind gushed softly in the middle of dawn... cries in the forest... th

Blood and Darkness Epilogue
"You know what, darling? It makes me a little sad that I have to pass you on to another man. I had barely known you for a few days, but here you are, getting married very soon." Father laughed. "But do not get me wrong. It is okay to marry. I am fine and I am also glad too that there was someone like Ares who was there for you when I was not there. I will always be thankful to him, and I support your marriage with all my heart. And I think I know what could hush my little sadness away. You should give me grandchildren as soon as you are married.""That will not be a problem, Your Majesty," Demitri responded to the latter part of Father's speech. I looked sharply at him but he only stared back at me with gentle and loving eyes. How could I not love this very adorable man, anyway? Anyone in my shoes would certainly break her principles in order to be with him just like what I did. Loving Demitri is worth it. He is all worth it. And I am so lucky to have him as my man who would love me t
Blood and Darkness Chapter 152: Avenge the Loss
Raja slowly vanished and returned to a red smoke. It then went back to my necklace, and all I was able to do was watch the last trace of him vanish in thin air.‘Raja, are you there?’ I asked through our mind link, hoping that he’s just in the necklace and still could talk to me.But his response didn’t come. Not even his usual growl when he doesn’t feel like answering my question or when I’m doing something stupid. All I hear was silence. Empty silence that made me feel so cold inside.“Your annoying pet is now sealed, dear Ophelia. He can’t interfere my business anymore,” Ren said evilly.With tears in my eyes, I tried to talk to Raja again, but there was no answer. He was really sealed into endless sleep and I don’t have the least bit idea how to awaken him. Even King Arthur and Queen Romina thought that there was no way to awaken David. They said that the seal can only be broken by the one who did it, but in this case, I doubt if Ren would do me such favor or I could force him to.
Blood and Darkness Chapter 151: Let's See
I leaped and attacked Ren aggressively. Raja followed my move, probably thinking that he should finish Ren off before I lay my hands on him. But to my surprise, the hall’s floor turned to ice and I heard another growl, from an unfamiliar dragon this time. An ice dragon went in and attacked Raja. I saw how Ren smirked with satisfaction etched in his eyes, so I figured that the dragon must be his.“Surprised, sweetheart? You see, I am also a dragon summoner. The two of us are the same. We fit for each other. I guess it’s what they call destiny?”“Destiny, you fool! What did you do to them?! Where is Demitri?!” I yelled and lifted my hand in the air. My blazing sword appeared and I held onto it tightly as I sauntered forward.I lashed my sword in the air, creating waves of fire, but he blocked it so fast with his wind blades.“I heard you are pregnant? One month? Two? It’s not visible yet so I wonder. I suggest you should just kill that child. Its father is dead, after all. You can bear
Blood and Darkness Chapter 150: Quiet Unlucky
I adjusted my posture before following Raxon to see who was knocking. I was somewhat uneasy because of what just happened."Hi Rax!" It was a beautiful woman, maybe on her mid-twenties. It had a big smile but when it came to me the look suddenly disappeared. Raxon's admirer, huh? Maybe, they are close. It just went in and went straight to the room."Katrina."She looked at him again and smiled sexily. He openly glared at Raxon's body which I almost felt. The fool, on the other hand, doesn't seem to care if anyone sees him naked."I heard you were coming, so I went right away."I couldn't escape the fact that her breasts were almost bulging because of the clothes she was wearing. I was overwhelmed with irritation. Just when I'm on the verge of leaving them, Raxon held my waist. I notice the sourness of the woman's face because of that."Yes. We want to take a vacation for a while. By the way, this is Amara. My fianceé." Katrina's mouth dropped open, obviously startled. Even I was also
Blood and Darkness Chapter 149: Wild Beast
"I've seen you a few times at social events, but I always lose the chance to talk to you. Well, you look so stiff and distant. Looks like you don't want to get close .." He chuckled. Not interested of talking with him, I just smiled a bit."Are you ---""Amara." His words were drowned by Raxon's voice. I turned around. Standing with an authorative stance, he looked at me darkly. His forehead was furrowed, as if someone didn't like what he saw."You done?"He nodded once. He came closer to me and offered his hand. I immediately reached for you and stood up."Who is he?" He was looking at David. Eyes were cold, nothing can be seen but indifference for the person in front."Is he with you France?" David, now also standing. I nodded slowly."Raxon Bermudez, right?""Yes.""David Ardiente." It reached out its hand. But Raxon just glanced at it and then turned to me as if he had no intention of accepting it."Your clothes are already sent in the villa. You should change." My eyes almost wid
Blood and Darkness Chapter 148: Deepest Thoughts
I was greeted by facilitators entering the seminar venue. I saw many acquaintances before. Mommy's friends were even there. Even though the smile was formal at me, I could see the judgment in their eyes. I understand it. It's been like that these years."It's good that your business is up and running, hija?" An older woman with a cunning look smiled at me. Her air wasn't friendly at all."That's good. Tito Demitri's expertise in business was a great help.""Oh! If so, it's true that you're marrying the second successor of Salamedas?"What?Even before I could recover, another elder approached. I never had a chance to answer the question because they had a new topic. I just excused myself and found a chair.The seminar was held in a five star hotel. My plan would have been to just book there so I wouldn't have to travel. But Kirk's offer is also okay. I really need to reduce the cost especially and more will be needed in the factory. So it's reasonable.There is a little more program b
Blood and Darkness Chapter 147: Hardest Goodbye
Whatever happened to us then is no longer with me. It's been eight years. The amount of things that have happened in my life. And I can't almost remember how it felt. All I know is, I was so hurt when he left me. I was also very angry. But maybe because of too much problems, I eventually went numb and forgot about it."Uh, good afternoon. Are you the owner of RM Tower or just an assistant?" I asked first.He didn't look shock when he saw me. It was as if he was expecting that. Of course, for sure the agent mentioned my name! But why didn't the agent even say the owner's name? And I didn’t even ask?"I'm the owner, Miss Escareal.""Oh ..."It is not impossible that he acquired properties within those people."I'm sorry. The agent didn't tell me and I didn't ask. So ... order first?"I called the waiter."Sorry. I ate my lunch first. I hope it's okay with you," I said formally."It's fine."Even when the waiter was on the side, his gaze remained on me. If not lang the waiter laid the m
Blood and Darkness Chapter 146: Big Steps
After talking to the principal, I left his office. I took a deep breath and turned down the pathway out through the row of doors. One more turn and I saw who was waiting for me at the corridor.Frowning and frowning, Zach kicked the plastic bottle at his feet. His hair was a bit messy and there was still a stain on his uniform. He was staring darkly at the bottle, looking so pissed. When he looked up at me, his expression softened and he straightened up."I'm sorry about it, Tita."I approached and adjusted the folding of his collar."I told you, didn't I? I don't want you to get into a fight, Zach. You shouldn't have punched that kid.""But I was pissed!"I stared at him."About what? Because he teased you about being an orphan?""No. I'm not pissed about that because that's true. I'm pissed because he called you crazy!"I sighed."And you know that I'm not, right?"He averted his gaze. "Of course."My life felt like hell after Ate Diana's death. I can't talk. I can't eat. I didn’t e

"It's you. You're too uptight. It's just your job that you're always doing so you don't know what's going on around you," he laughed."You're going to a seminar next week, right? Let's leave Manila together. How many days have you been there?""Three days or four. Maybe I'll talk to the agent for the property," I said."Are you going to a hotel? I have a condo. It's big and has three bedrooms. You can sleep there if you want."My eyebrows rose."In your condo? You mean, where do you bring your women? No thanks. I can pay for my hotel. I might get sick there.""Woah. It's serious! I don't bring them to my condo, Drey. I'll book a room, you know. I'm the one who's feeling good after all?""For all I know, you just have a plan for me."His jaw dropped and laughed hysterically. Of course that's just a joke. All these years, Kirk was with me and I am aware of his pure intentions.Back then, I never thought we would be this close because I really didn’t like him. But I found an unexpected f
