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

"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

"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

The moment I stepped onto the blazing pool of flames, I didn't feel any heat. I only felt warm as though I was traveling in the middle of the winter and it was one of the few times I stop by to warm myself up. It didn't hurt me at all. In fact, it even comforts me at some point."Woah."I opened my eyes at once and turned at my back to see if I failed and got Lucia and Orion hurt. I was relieved when I saw them totally fine."You didn't get hurt at all?" I asked to make sure. I don't want them to be hurt in any way because of me."No," Lucia shook her head at the same time Orion did.Then my eyes drifted to Raja. He was just a couple of yards away, looking at the surrounding in a defensive stance as if he is expecting an unexpected attack from somewhere.I turned to look at my surrounding. Contrary to its name, River of Flames is nothing like a river. It is a cave, a huge stone cave. Only that, all the things you can see around are on fire, blazing, glowing red. And the path in the mi

"Why weren't you burned by the pool of lava?" I asked Lancelot."I think it's because you want to protect the people around you. You went here with a friend, right? You were shielding them from the fire, so that is why when you fell onto the pool of lava at the same time I was awaken, you also unconsciously shielded me, that was why I wasn't hurt.""Did you mean you were sleeping down that blazing lava?""Yes, I was. But I was froze inside a huge ice that was made the witch who cursed me. She was very powerful that was why the ice where she caged me protected me from being melted by the lava."I nodded. "I understand.""May I know your name?" He asked carefully as if he was being careful not to annoy me in any way."Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ophelia, Lancelot. Thank you for saving me."He shook his head with a warm smile plastered on his lips. "No, Ophelia. It wasn't me who saved you. In fact, it was your presence who awaken me. You saved me from the curse. You

"Yes, but as you see, just a little trick I made and I got so weak." She smiled bitterly."You are still young, Lucia. There are so much rooms for you to grow. You are a princess by birth and I know that just like your ancestors, you would be a great summoner, too.""I hope so, Ophelia. I really hope."I was about to speak when all of the sudden, the ground went shaking. My eyes widened and I was about to hold Lucia when a huge crack of the ground went in between us, it grew larger by the moment, and showed a large mass of burning lava."Lucia!" I shouted in horror because we were at the opposite sides and there was a huge drift between us that would surely melt anything or anyone if one would fell to it.I turned to see if Raja was still at my back but what I saw was the red smoke going to my necklace."What happened, Raja? Are you all right?"'I am fine, my lady. But there is something in this place that forced me to go back to the necklace. It is forbidding you to summon me. I supp

Even if I will soon have to marry Lancelot, I don't think I can ever love him the same way as how I love Demitri. It would be unfair to him, but Lancelot would also be unfair to me right? Even though he doesn't know that he is just being fooled, I would still know that the real me isn't the one he is in love with. We will be unfair to each other, so I guess that is just fair.Lancelot was indeed right. It didn't take long before he had killed the two tigers. He just sliced their heads up with a sharp metal he made out of stone and it was done. Plus the fact that the monsters were really slow compared to the fast Lancelot. Now I understood why he was very confident earlier. He indeed knows his capability as a fighter."Phew!" Lancelor smiled at me."You know, all I can say is, that was effortless. Maybe because you were frozen under the pool of lava for decades that is why you are that strong and fast?""Maybe. But I was really fast and strong even before I slept for decades," he said

My eyes were all alert as we moved deeper to the cave. I haven't seen Lucia nor Orion yet and I'm pretty worried of what they have been going through at the moment. I was the reason why they are here that is why if ever something bad happens to them, I can't forgive myself. They are very good people who truly treated me like a friend despite us knowing each other for barely a few days. I know it sounds crazy but I can really feel that connection pulling us together. I don't know why I feel that way but maybe because they are somehow connected with the mystery behind my identity?If that is the case, the more I should not let anything happen to them. If they are the way to my father, to the truth of my existence, I should grab the opportunity. Though aside from that motive, I am truly worried about them because I already treated them as my true friends. They are like the princes in Solterra. The bond between them reminds me of the bond between Demitri, Prince David, Prince Martin and P

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

"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

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
