Dan Dan Dan! Haha. How do you like the chapter¿ Prince Landon is furious. Ciril is heartbroken. There are fifteen figures on the loose. Let’s see what happens next, shall we¿ See yA!
{Ciril’s POV}He was a feral.I saw his dead body the other day and he was standing and walking. I trembled away in horror.And so did everybody around me— including the warriors and Ivanka who had been one second away from striking me dead.They were all seeing what I was seeing so they reacted the way I was reacting even though everyone around was much stronger than me.No one would see fifteen supposedly dead bodies walking towards them and not tremble. — especially since these fifteen dead bodies were fast and brutish. One of them picked up pace and lunged at the warrior closest to them who was acting all bold and valiant. The Feral ripped his right leg away before pouring out his intestines.Fuck bold and Viliant.With that Feral’s attack, Bedlam broke loose and I tried to scurry up to my feet and make a run for it. People truly trembled now and the Alpha King started yelling in his alarm.“Get more warriors in here! And get me General Matthew. He didn’t burn the dead bodies li
{Ciril’s POV}I walked now like I was being hunted.I slept now like I was being monitored.I ate now like I was destined to be eventually poisoned. I was cautious with everything.In everything I was doing, I did carefully.Why?Because I didn’t feel safe. Prince Landon had agreed on a conflicting deal in order to save my life but then I had to be careful on my end because the truth was that I didn’t trust these people. Ivanka, Abasha, the Alpha Queen— I trusted none of them.So far none of them has done anything harsh or touched me— which is good but also very disturbing.It’s unusual and odd. And it makes me scared at every point of the day. I carried on with my days, working my shifts at the Hencher, serving in the Kitchen, and presenting the Warriors with their food at the Garrison, and it was oddly peaceful that I got no interference. But as disturbing as that was, it wasn’t as disturbing as the fact that I hadn’t seen Prince Landon for some days now. I mean, I had seen him
{Ciril’s POV}I don’t like kneeling but once again, I was on my knees. I don’t like getting into trouble— nobody does, but once again, here I was— in trouble. I was in trouble for a crime I wasn’t sure how I committed it. Once again, I was in the throne room but then this time around, instead of panicking or trembling like I had been doing the last time I was here, I was just staring into space.I was scarred. I really didn’t understand what had happened yesterday evening. It was just too sudden and too odd for me to comprehend. Too gory for me to fathom.Princess Anne was in the Palace clinic being treated but from the report we had gotten and from how the Queen was raging, it was obvious that Princess Anne had lost both her eyes. She was fully blind. I was so confused and anytime I tried to make meaning of that scene from yesterday, I became even more muddled.But then, there was one good take from all of this. Prince Landon was finally talking to me. I’ve been on my knees for mi
{Ciril’s POV}I was allowed to go freely. In fact, I was abandoned in the Throne room— as once Princess Anne came and said that I was innocent before leaving again, everyone went after her. She had been unconscious, but suddenly, she was awake and somehow she found her way to the Throne room and stopped the unnecessary bloodshed just when it was about to begin. And so, the Alpha Queen and the Generals with her raced after Princess Anne. Prince Landon had gone after them also but he had dismissed me first.“Take that side door and find your way to your room. Stay there and I’ll meet you there soon.” He had told me before trailing with the crowd. And just like that, I was free. Moments ago, everyone thought I was guilty but there was no better vindication than the Princess herself saying I was innocent. I got up to my feet now and I sighed heavily before giving the rest of the warriors and Sentries around a nasty look. Minutes ago, they all wanted to rip my heart out and now, they w
{Ciril’s POV}“You didn’t miss your way. You’re right where you’re meant to be.” The random eerie voice said to me before the face of Princess Anne was revealed.I trembled at the sight as my heart started to race.I saw that it was her but I was creeped out to the max so that I started to run away. But then Princess Anne said something that stopped me in my tracks.“You have a lot of questions and Lyon and I know that I’ve been the only one willingly answering them.” She said and I halted. I halted with a heaving chest and then I slowly spun around to look at her. The air was a bit inky now and the only source of light around us was the crescent moon above. I stared at her face and noticed that her face was directed directly at me even though she had lost both her eyes. “Do you have any questions?” She asked me now and I took deep breaths to calm myself down. That had been a good fright.“Yeah.”“Three.” She said and I nodded.“My Princess, are you totally blind?” I asked her as sh
{Ciril’s POV}Ivanka started walking towards me and I tensed.And then she walked right past me— not uttering a word or executing another action.She just continued on her way like she hadn’t seen anything or seen me. And even though I was thankful for her non-involvement, I was still frightened by her ignorance.— their ignorance.Both Ivanka and the Alpha Queen have been ignoring me a lot lately even when it’s obvious that they want to mess with me. I continued on my way now and I had to wonder if Ivanka had truly seen me or not because when it comes to Prince Landon, she doesn’t mess around and now she let me go.Why?After a moment, I let go of the thought and continued on my quest to inform the esteemed mistress about her husband’s impending demise. I did and while I was returning, I decided to stop at Anika’s room to check on her and know how she was fairing. I had told myself that I wouldn’t make any new friends after Vera in order to ensure their safety but now I was forced
{Ciril’s POV}Just when I feel like I have my mindset straight.Just when I feel like I’m beginning to have things under control, something pops out of nowhere, scatters everything, and leaves me in top confusion.I was going back to RawHowl with Ivanka.Why is she taking me along?I do not know.What is happening in RawHowl?I have no idea… and at the same time, I couldn’t ask her because she wouldn’t give me an answer.We paced through some hallways now and I realized that I recognized the path. We were headed for the Throne room.I groaned inwardly. As we went on now, I realized Ivanka wasn’t in a very smiley mood. I realized something must have happened so I made myself alert for any flying words. We got to the Throne room now but we didn’t get in as I saw the Alpha King strolling out of the room with a heavy envoy of Generals and warriors.Ivanka immediately called his attention. “My King. She’s the one. I think she can be of help. If there’s anyone who knows RawHowl better than
{Ciril’s POV}I was confused.I had no orientation anymore. As if my going on a mission to RawHowl wasn’t muddling enough, Princess Anne had come to add more puzzles to my predicament.I didn’t understand a word she said and couldn’t find any meaning to it and with that, I was supposed to leave for a dangerous mission now. Balif, Taka’s brother, led me towards the Palace gates now. Apparently, the army we were going with was already outside and ready to leave.I was to be a part of that army. I shuddered at the thought of that. Think of things from my perspective.I will serve as a strategist to give the warriors a layout of RawHowl in order for them to reclaim it from the Ferals— but reclaiming it from Ferals would mean that the warriors would have to fight the Ferals as they obviously can’t negotiate with them. And fighting the Ferals would mean bloodshed.And bloodshed would mean that a fellow has to defend himself or herself from having his or her blood spilled— which meant th
{Ciril’s POV} “Hi.”You know, I once quivered anytime I spoke to the Alpha Queen or Ivanka or any other esteemed bitch in this Palace… but now?I’ve never felt so confident. It felt amazing knowing that they dreaded my presence and not the other way around. It was a really incredible feeling. It felt amazing seeing Ivanka, the same vile Cunt that always reigned her devilry and aggressiveness upon me— it felt amazing seeing her tremble before me now.One word, “Hi” and I felt all their pulses rise. I decided to be as slow as possible in order to enjoy the moment to the fullest. I decided to take my time.— go to them one by one.I rested my gaze on Ivanka now, and I smirked. My first specimen. She was scowling at me and breathing heavily in her attempt to hide her uneasiness. She looked stupid. I wished I could tell her that. Oh, wait. I could.“Hi, Ivanka. You look stupid.” I said now and she tensed at me addressing her before she scowled.“You think being the Champion means a
{Ciril’s POV} I spilled blood and I reigned chaos… .. but then I was only just getting started.Weirdly, there were only a couple of warriors left for me to kill— a litter of about fifteen of them after I had just killed dozens. It was weird because I expected the Alpha Queen to send the entire Garrison after me since she knew I was here.Anyhoo…I punched my claws into the throat of one of the warriors just as he tried to attack me, and with the force of my bashing, his head instantly separated from his body and just stayed there on my claws.I used it to smash into the head of another attempting Cunt— skull collided with skull and they both cracked.“AHHH!” I heard the yell of a new warrior who was trying to be brave as he raced toward me with every aggressiveness he could offer. He got to me but just as he swung his blow for my head, I bent down and swept him off his feet with my hand grabbing his leg. I held him up in the air and growled at the rest of them so that they trembl
{Ciril’s POV} “Woah.”“Oh my...”Those, among several others, were the comments from Clord and Feryt. It was a few hours past midday and the once-clear clouds had suddenly gone dark… because of me. I was raging as I focused my eyes on these very walls that had caged me with gloom and torment. I was heaving now and as a result, Clord and the others knew that the sky’s fury was my doing— a reflection of my grief and rage. It was thundering loudly now and the wind all around us was beginning to grow wilder. I reveled in the pending ChaosI was about to resume my trail towards the Palace but then a voice stopped me. “Ciril?” The voice said beside me now and I instantly veered my gaze to the side to see Feryt. She trembled slightly with my gaze.“What do we do now?” She asked me. She spoke loudly since the wind was getting more fierce by the second and crowding the silence as a result. The skies thundered again.“Stay here.” I said now with my scowl evident on my face. “Stay here until
{Ciril’s POV} I didn’t say a word.I didn’t say a word to any of them. All I did was walk, trek, trudge— all of them. And this made us go faster.At the pace we were going, I calculated that we might actually get to the Palace in a day— or not. After some hours of my ignorance and my fast traveling, they stopped me.By they, I mean the democratic bunch— Feryt, Clord, and Gordius. Feryt was their leader or representative this time around and she crept before me to prevent me from moving forward.I scowled at her when she suddenly appeared before me. “Ciril, we need to talk.” She told me. I shifted to the side and slipped past her, continuing onwards but then she was stubborn so that she trailed after me and blocked my trail again.“Ciril, stop! Just stop and listen, okay?!” She said with a stern tone and was immediately joined by Gordius on her right and Clord on her left. As usual, Gordius was annoyingly confident with his old face while Clord looked frightened by me but then the
{Ciril’s POV} “What?”“What?”Anika and I said simultaneously.Her ‘What’ was the first one. I looked at her just as she looked at me, and then we both looked at Gordius who had initiated the confusion.“Oh, I’m going to like this.” Clord said as he sat down on the ground beside one of the Bears. It growled at him so he shifted away to a new position before refocusing his gaze upon us and smiling.I glared at him. “Stand up. I told you we’re not stopping yet.” I said to him and then I turned to Gordius.“For the last time, stop messing with me, Gordius.” I told him and then I looked between Feryt and Anika. “Let’s keep moving.” I said and then turned to continue on my way. “I’m not messing with you, Ciril.” I heard Gordius’ voice again. “This girl right here is the one who will train you.” I halted. And then I spun around and started trudging to him with my bashful intent— I clenched my fist tight. I was done hearing his voice so it was time to shut him up… since he didn’t want to
Chapter 145 {Ciril’s POV} Morning came, and with it a new creed.A vengeful one. I got up with my heart evidently beating— it knew today marked the beginning of something significant. Something chaotic.I sat outside on a log of wood in between the guards of both of my Bears. I sat there motionlessly and waited for the rest to wake up. And eventually, they did. After several minutes, they strolled out simultaneously to see me seated motionlessly with my eyes closed. I was now meditating. I hated the concept but then yesterday had made me realize that it was an important concept and that Gordius was right. My emotions were controlling me and I needed to work on making it the other way round. I need to be the one in control. But then at the end of the day, I didn’t really care that I was being ruled by my emotions since I could still kill my enemies in that State. I only cared now because I didn’t want anything to jinx my fighting over at the Palace since Gordius said that meditati
{Ciril’s POV} I touched the twin half-love-shaped metal bracelets on my wrist now Erin just gave me the most shocking but relieving news.The Hencher Mistress was alive. All this time I had just been hoping— praying that she hadn’t died that day, but then over time, realization started to sink in and I started to welcome the fact that I may have lost her.— since I had recalled how fatal-looking the wound on her belly was, plus she had betrayed the Palace by helping me and I had left her in the hands of those wretches. All these conditions put together didn’t seem like a combination that the Hencher Mistress would survive in her condition and so I had spent frequent nights crying about it and hating myself for leaving her can there that day. … but now it turns out that I had concluded wrongly. All this while, I had grieved and beaten myself up in vain for the Hencher Mistress was alive.My mother was alive.Fresh tears glossed up my eyes now and Anika and the others noticed this a
{Ciril’s POV} “Why?”“What do you mean?”Anika had stopped me with her words and I was staring at her now, wondering why she was asking to go back to the same dreadful place she had just escaped from.“I mean that we have to return to the Palace because it will be a dire matter if we don’t.” She said now, confusing me the more. Clord, Gordius, and Feryt shifted back to our axis now, seeing that we were not trailing after them anymore.“What’s going on?” Feryt asked and I turned to look at her from my dazement. “She says we have to return to the Palace.” I said, still in confusion.“Wait. What?” Clord said now, stepping forward. “You’re joking, right?” He asked her with an odd laugh and when she didn’t respond, he turned to me.“She’s… she’s joking, right?”I returned my attention back to Anika now. “What’s your reason? I don’t understand what you’re saying, Anika.” I said to her now. “What dire matter are you referring to?”I spoke rather calmly now, and I did so because I didn’t wan
{Ciril’s POV} “Ciril, is that you?”I heard Anika’s voice and almost couldn’t believe it was her voice. It had been so long since I heard her speak.All of us were shocked by her sudden consciousness as we had really lost all hope. I had already lost hope.— all of us had lost hope except Gordius. He didn’t look shocked, and this was because he had trusted his words to the final minute, unlike the rest of us. The rest of us stopped believing him when hours were slipping past and Anika wasn’t responding. But then again, you can’t blame us for not buying his words. I personally had a beef with him and feel like he just says anything he wants to say. I focused my attention on Anika now as she slowly grew back her consciousness.“It’s me, Anika. I’m.. I’m here.” I told her softly now and she blinked before thoroughly focusing her gaze on me.With our eye contact, the roles switched— as she was the one who looked shocked now. She gazed at my face for a while and I noticed that she was
