Blood and Darkness Chapter 40: Make You Slaves
"Well..." Nerissa only laughed. Even her laugh was not evil-like, it was as soft and sweet as her voice. I wonder why she had to through to the extent of luring men and killing them back when she was a living witch? But I guess that is too much to ask, and why would it be my business, anyway? It has nothing to do with me, so all I should think of is how we can finish this as soon as possible so we can get out of this place at once. I hate all the monsters and I hope I won't see another kind of monster again. Fighting with monsters is time consuming and worthless so if I only have a choice, I won't fight with them. I just really hopes that Lancelot is skilled and strong enough to fight those strong monsters outside."You are wrong, I'm not a princess. She is the only the princess between us," I said and glanced at Lucia.Nerissa raised a brow, the corner of her lips rose slightly, evilly. It was like there was something in her mind that she chose not to say. I can't figure out what it
Blood and Darkness Chapter 41: Angel of Death
The moment the three monster guards saw us approaching, they immediately sauntered forward to attack."Let me handle this. You two go in first. I will follow after I kill these monsters," Lancelot said before he touched the stone near him and made a long and huge axe out of it."You sure?" Lucia asked.Lancelot smirked. "Don't underestimate me, young princess."Lucia's eyes widened. "Young princess? How did you-""Go now," Lancelot cut her off before he leaped to face the monsters head on. I didn't waste any time and pulled Lucia towards the entrance of Nerissa's den. As expected, it was the part of the River of Flames with the most fire. A norma person would surely not take it. But because I can manipulate fire and I'm protecting Lucia, we are able to successfully infiltrate it."Do you feel hot or burning?" I asked Lucia to make sure."No. I feel warmth, but not to the point that I feel burning so you have nothing to worry about."Just steps after we enter Nerissa's den, we suddenl
Blood and Darkness Chapter 42: Vomiting Blood
"You are so feisty, little girl. I bet you can even do nothing with my pets here..." Nerissa said and all the six snakes around her hissed."To tell you the truth, you just look like your pet. So venomous. I didn't thought being punished by a goddess will give someone a throne. Well, only that this throne of yours is kind of outdated and more like a dungeon for ugly monsters than a kingdom. You fit here perfectly, I must admit," Lucia retorted with a calm voice this time but the thought was lethal.Nerissa's eyes flared. "You... attack her!" The snakes crawled down her chair at once, and went approaching towards Lucia's direction. Though before the evil snakes could go near, they already turned into ashes after I had thrown small fire balls to them.Nerissa's look turned to cold silver cutting through me. "How dare you kill my pets! My knight, get over here and help me with my enemies!" she announced and a stone suddenly moved at the corner, it opened like a door. But what shocked m
Blood and Darkness Chapter 43: Secret Passageway
"I thought you don't want to be close to me? What is this?" he fired, now his eyes were intensely dark."I thought I made everything clear that day? Why did you choose me? To announce your dominance in front of my face because you're the superior?""So you're here to talk about that.""No. I went here to talk about something else."His eyes narrowed. "What is it?""Can we talk about it inside?"He was taken aback by that. I hope it sounded all right."The last time I remember, you were very eager to leave my chamber. Now, you want to go in?""Where else can we talk privately anyway?"There was confusion in his eyes but at the same time, there was a glint of interest.He opened the door and let me in first. He followed shortly, and closed the door behind him."Now let's get into business."I bit my lower lip and inhaled some air before finally speaking. He was just in front of me, waiting."I understand that I offended you the last time..."I couldn't keep my words straight."Hmm...""
Blood and Darkness Chapter 44: Royal Dinner
"Hello, ladies. I'm Celestina, the mistress of the court," said by an elegant woman probably two decades older than I am. I was thankful that she arrived. Her presence eased the tension earlier."I will assist the Crown Prince in molding each one of you, so that when time comes, the chosen lady has all the knowledge of what are the duties of a crown princess.""That would not be hard, Mistress. All of us are from noble families who studied right etiquettes since childhood-oh! Pardon, Ophelia. I forgot you are not a noble lady like the rest of us," Lady Lilian, the daughter of the first minister, said softly but lethally.I heard soft chuckles, only cut off by Mistress Celestina's voice."You are just a commoner. Am I right, Lady Ophelia?""You are." I'm not ashamed of my status. Why would I be? At least I am far from being criminal."All right. We are all clear. Ladies," she looked at the others, eyes strict. "She is here because like you, she was also chosen by the Crown Prince himse
Blood and Darkness Chapter 45: Trying to Flirt
The day dragged so slow with all the lessons. Demitri was not around till the night because he got an order from the King to do something outside the palace. So I just planned to tell him about my plans the following day.The whole palace was quiet busy the following day. Most of the servants were on the hall, preparing the tables, decorating the walls like there is an upcoming event."Good morning."I almost had a heart attack when someone suddenly spoke behind me."Apologies if I startled you," Demitri said as he went to my side. We are now both leaning to the bannisters above the huge hall."I thought you would not be around till next day?""Do you rather want me to leave?"I snorted. "I'm just curious but it doesn't mean I prefer you not around."A mischievous smile played on his lips."Does that mean you want me around?""Of course, so we can continue our business. I want nothing other than that.""Tss. Very cooperative," he mumbled which I heard but didn't understand."What?""N
Blood and Darkness Chapter 46: Proper Etiquettes
"What about Mistress Celestina? She would scold me-""Don't worry about that. I'll talk to her later," Demitri promised and led me to another secret passageway again."Where are we going?""On my private place. Just wait and see."After entering another door for the nth time, I can already see the blue sky outside. And there was a very nice smell everywhere. Freesias?"We are at what part of the palace?" I asked, my eyes fixed at the flowers beside the stone pathway."East. This is the Crown Prince's garden. No one is allowed here aside from the royal family.""Then why did you bring me here? Do you want me to be beheaded for trespassing in a private place?""There's an exception. Of course if the prince himself brought someone here, that won't be a problem.""Sure. Unless someone would see us going in such a private place.""Why would you be scared? If ever people would know that we are spending alone time together, that won't be a big deal since you are here in the palace for a cert
Blood and Darkness Chapter 47: Tiring Formalities
I sighed when I was finally out of everyone's eyes. After having the meal, I excused myself for bathroom but I went to the garden to have some air. However, just when I thought I finally had my peaceful time alone, someone talked from behind that startled me."Why do you keep on startling me, Demitri?" I asked in a low but firm voice."Are you mad with me?" His careful voice calmed me. How would I be mad with him if he's asking that way? Such a wicked prince."You shouldn't have done that, you know?" But anyway, if I'm planning to be the temporary fiancée and crown princess, I should get used to that, right?Indeed, my lady.Always supportive when it comes to Demitri, aren't you, Raja?Just supportive to what is the best for my lady."Apologies if you didn't like that. I just can't help but ask. You seemed to lack appetite earlier."Which was not because the food was bad or didn't appeal to me. It was because I was intimidated eating with all those royal people around."Never mind. As

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
