2024-10-29 19:42:56"My lady, are you up?"
Riel and Hannah were beside Emma's bed watching her with smiles on their faces.
She had finally rested after so much passionate exercise the day and night before. There was no way for her to wake up in just a few hours, and so she had slept for the rest of the day. The many times she collapsed in that man's chest were so much that she ended up begging for a time-out.
That Duke said that he needed to punish her for the grievance she made him go through. But, in the end, she was released to rest as a gesture of pity.
'Damn Duke!'
She thought that he will let her go for the rest of the day, but he dared to leave a message behind: he was coming for her in the evening.
"What time is it?" Emma sat on the bed that was filled with tight-furred covers and quilts. She didn't dare to take them out from her naked body. Even after so much exercise and dragon energy deep inside her, her body was still cold.
"Almost noon, Your

The night had become the worst friend for Emma, she would always wait for him but he never appeared. This time, she looked outside from the balcony and insisted on staying there despite the cold. The couch was filled with covers and a small burning fire was on the side carefully warming her hands.That day she was not allowed to go anywhere as a part of her punishment. However, she could still look outside and into the sky. Her thoughts wandering to the world outside those walls. The little glimpse she had before was not enough and was dying to see more."Your highness, aren't you cold? Should I give you another cover?" Hanna asked a bit concerned. The frail silver-haired woman's face was pale but she insisted on staying outside.Even when the chamber was heating with little magical fires and many mantles to keep the warmth. Hannah and Riel couldn't help but sweat from the intense heat of the flames. Even their foreheads were cover in a soft layer of sweat. Howe

The next morning, he helped her out of the bed while she was still a bit weak in the legs. He had dried her entirely that night without remorse. However, it will be a long time before he could see her again, so he needed to have her."Emma, how do you feel?"She knew that he had broken the chain in her ankles, and now she was free to use her magic. However, he didn't seem to be that happy. The frown on his face was giving out how concerned he was."Are you worried?" she asked when he caressed her legs in a thoughtful massage.He nodded, "will you escape again?""Only to go save you…" she smiled and kissed his cheek, "so, be careful and come back to me. Okay?"She slid a ring on his thumb finger."What is this?" he asked with a little bump in his heart. This was the first time she was giving him something, a gift.She smiled, seeing his bright eyes. 'So the cold man with indifferent and not caring eyes can make such a bea

"That old dragon is inside that barrier, he will notice," Uriel was pacing around the room with Gia watching him. That time at the garden, he had felt a strange anxiousness growing in his thoughts. He felt as if the old Master had already found out about him."What should we do?" Gia was also afraid. The old Master was not someone they would dare to provoke."We need to make him go away for a few days, have you figured out anything about the barrier?"Gia had been lurking around the walls. She tried to find the enchanted circle that created the barrier. However, the walls were strongly guarded, and the circle was very well hidden. It was nearly impossible to find it."No, I hadn't found anything about it," she was growing anxious, the guards had already seen her several times and were beginning to be suspicious. "I don't think we can deactivate it, we must find a way to break it."He knew she was telling the truth, they should focus on finding a cr

"What is this?"Rufus got a letter from Master Jin early in the morning. However, it was not the kind of thing he wanted to see when the Kingdom was in a strange position."What does it say?"Rufus shoved the letter to Jano's hands with an exasperated expression. He didn't think that something like that would happen so suddenly."This is bad," Jano sat in defeat.Master Jin had a request from the Capital, it was an urgent matter from the Royal Knights, and had to leave quickly and may not come back after a day. However, his departure had to be kept in secret, as there could be several enemies lurking around the Duchy waiting to attack. And there should be."This…" Rufus narrowed his eyes for a second, "this can't be a coincidence.""How can Master Jin leave like that?"Jano also found the sudden leave from the old dragon abrupt and with a bad omen. To make him go at such speed could only mean that the King is in trouble

The King and the Ministers of Avalor reunited in the main hall of the Palace after an emergency call. They all were sweating and having trouble breathing normally. However, they were not the only ones, the whole capital was suffering the same pain."What is that?!""I feel weak…!"Some people were fainting, some others had trouble standing up. The more experienced dragons had to pass energy to the younger ones to help them stay awake."What is going on?""Look! Above the Palace!"A powerful artifact had appeared at the top of the Royal Palace, in the highest tower. It looked like a big cloud of purple mist surrounding it.Some of the oldest ministers knew what that thing was: it was a powerful relic of ancient times. However, it was not from Avalor but from the Luriem Kingdom."How can this happen now?""How can that thing appear here?!"King Ethan looked up and frowned, there couldn't be such a coincidence

Kian flew at high speed to the town next to the Capital. He let Neo stay in one of the inns to recover with the magical device attached to his body. Even if it was not that much help, and they needed a high-standing healer, Kian needed to go fast to the Dukedom.He gave a huge amount of gold to the doctor and the innkeeper to watch out for Neo. Then he sent a message through one of his men to go to the Duke as soon as possible. He even gifted him some magic to make him move faster.However, his real concern was in the Dukedom. He took his people with him, and they didn't dare to delay more time. The group of shadow knights didn't even cover their tracks or disguised themselves. The people from the towns and the roads that saw them pass commented about them and the rumors started to spread quickly.All the ones who had seen them knew that something severe had happened. To see so many knights with the black coats and masks of the shadow soldiers was not a good sig

The raid on the other Dukedom continued for a few more hours. The soldiers found that the same pattern appeared in the battle; the soldiers and mercenaries, that attacked the knights and army of the Duke, looked like puppets. Vacant eyes, lifeless movements.Even the Duke and main instigator provided the same answers came from the other Duke and his old generals.No one spoke a word of who was the one threatening them, but they kept shaking and asking for mercy for their families. They said that they didn't have a choice.However, the Duke was losing his patience with them. No one dared to speak. He felt that something was strange, something was making him stop thinking about the full picture. There was a piece in the puzzle that he had not seen but was in front of him.How can those dragons be so afraid of anything? Which enemy can be that powerful to make them shake like that and not say a word?He thought of the Luriem Kingdom.
Conquering the Duke Chapter 135. The Gates
Sir Kein and his soldiers arrived at the walls of the Dukedom, and Jano ordered to open the gates instantly. He had never seen the shadow guards forgetting their bow so blatantly.'Something must have happened,' he thought of asking Kein the moment he entered, but they didn't stop moving until they arrived the inner quarters."Open the gates!"Kein ordered the guards, but they didn't move."We can't let anyone enter without permission of Master Rufus or the Duke!"They all were loyal to the orders, and Kein knew it. No one was allowed near her for even a second."Open them, now!" he didn't have time to give explanations, "Her Highness is in danger!"The soldiers looked at each other and frowned, but they didn't budge.Kein was already asking his soldiers to surround the walls to look for something suspicious."I will ask one more time, and if you dare to delay and something happen to her, I will have your head!"T

Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room. Lonely and lost.His eyes were filled with more than desire, but a strong lo

"What is the meaning of this symbol?"The man looked confused. The sweet voice of Emma made him lose control of his words and actions. He didn't know why was that, he had never been subjected to hypnosis nor any kind of suggestive game. However, this time, it was as if some drug had entered his body and made him a week to listen to that woman's orders.Emma showed him the ring and waited for his response. The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity. However, Emma didn't hesitate to go to the ma

The man let her stay in his lap for the rest of the journey. As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care. When she felt that he carried her to a room and into a bed, she let him caress her face as she succumbed to her dreams. Again, the man with the red eyes showed up. This time, however, the symbol on her ring appeared in the chest of the man as he was more intense in making love to her. He pulled her to his body and it was as if he was really there sharing his warmth. Emma didn't fight it, she wanted to see him, to touch him and remember when she wakes up in the morning. "Who... who are you?"She whispered as s

Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured." "Shut up!"Then more screams and shattering of windows and wood. There were at least a dozen tall and strong men with bats and metal long bars dest

The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market. "Is there something you need from the shop?""Darling, I thought you were already asleep," the old aunty came forward with a caring look, "you should go and sleep, you must be tired."Emma smiled, she knew that the old woman had seen her training, "I am fine, aunty, but I wish to take some fresh air now. There is something I want to test

I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group. The same one that had lent money to almost all the little business in the town. However, their shady treats had made the little town fear the consequences of not paying their fees. "Miss Emma, this..." one of the police officers looked at Emma with a bit of worry in his eyes. "You should go to the old Larks, they are waiting for
