Chapter 47. Brazen and Childish
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The day for the first round of preliminaries was around the corner. The feeling around the town was of expectancy and joy, many people from outside crowded the streets, and the taverns and inns were at their top of business.
The event has always been an expected show for the commoners, as it was something celebrated around the world and a great honor to the ones participating. The warriors of all the regions and allied countries of the continent would showcase their best skills to go high in the rankings. While wining was the highest honor, jumping into the best ranks was in no way negligible.
Meanwhile, on the Mountain Mansion, the cheerfulness and noise were suppressed to the extreme. Only silence and the gasps from a beautiful woman drowned the place. Emma has been occupying her mind and body into mastering the space balls to take down the advanced dummies Master Jin had created for her.
They now attacked with several kinds of powers, from raging fire to free

Liam went out from his study in the Palace, the moment he felt that the damn King, his older brother had left. He didn't even need to go to the main hall and uncover the idiotic dummy he had left to guess where he might have gone.Why was he so worried about the King meeting his wonderful wife? Well, the fact that he had schemed to give her the Rosaline Fragrance and the fact that he was a trickster were enough. He didn't want for his elder brother to play with his innocent and sometimes silly wife."Liam, do you remember this ring?"The man was surprised to see the ring on the table, he thought it was lost many years ago."How?""I found it some time ago, and this belongs to the Duchess, it is her right after all," the ring was a treasure passed to the Kobach Duchess from generations, however, it was lost when the late Duchess escaped to the mortal world after the war from centuries ago. Many had tried to get the ring on their hands but no one cou

The fierce dragon made her scream as she was standing on the platform again with her sword pointed at him."Very good, my love," he smirked when she managed to escape his hands.They had been practicing for three days and she was learning very fast, in fact, so fast that he was visibly surprised. Every attack was coming smooth and easy after a few tries, and she seemed to be adjusting her powers with the ring. He felt incredibly proud seeing her advance so quickly.However, the way she looked, the face full of delicate sweat that only increased the aroma coming from her body plus the panting and red cheeks. It was too much for him to stand it, any other would surrender at her any time. He was now sure that she may have a chance to win the tournament if she only fought with male fighters."Why are you daydreaming?!" Emma shouted and went to the fight again, though she was exhausted and he didn't even seem to have done any effort. Her face was furious but a

"Hahahaha!"Emma appeared in her chambers while covering her mouth as she couldn't stop giggling. She wanted to see his silly face, how was he left with some blue balls. Only imaging it was enough to alleviate all the times he took advantage of her. She couldn't help chuckle reminding it again, not caring that she didn't have any clothes on her."You deserve it, humph" all those times she was taken advantage of by his lecherous hands could still make her blush. Though she was glad that even when training, his eyes were fixed on her only with softness and gentleness.Emma couldn't help but bit her lip remembering his handsome face and his red eyes ready to eat her whole, then some redness grew on her cheeks. If she were to go back now, he would make sure to punish her and exhaust her the whole night. Not that she minded it. She couldn't help but admit that he was quite the handsome man, so much for her to resist his charms and claims every time. But she had dance

The day of the tournament shook the entire country of Avalor. The streets of the Capital were full of tourists that came to watch the tournament and the countless amazing participants. It was said that at least one hundred would go for the first stage, and only twenty-five would pass.The second stage will be for the veterans and the top fifty champions from the last tournament and the third stage will be for the top ten only. Those fights were only to determine the ranking between them and the places for the final stage.Many stalls and points of magical transportation were established around the main malls. Some of the participants, and it must be said that the least of them were from foreign countries and different races than dragons."We are going to be late," Emma was nervous pacing around the study of Liam, he has been working leisurely on some papers before heading to the tournament. "Liam, please, I need to go.""We will go on time," he said while

Emma knew he was suffering right now, but she didn't care and was obviously entertained by his trick going back at him, even if she was red to the ears too. She was being watched by him in a place other than their house, she knew that no one dared to open the door abruptly but that was what scared her more. He would take advantage of that to play her if she let him of course.She could feel his eyes inspecting every single part of her body. The desire was written all over them and it was noticeable that he was at his last wits. The number of gulps and the tightening of his fist were the evidence. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't delighted to see his insatiable desire for her."Emma," she turned away ignoring his words, and started dressing into her fighting clothes. They were specially done for her, with the symbol of a little golden dragon in the collar of the upper shirt, it was a mark of the Duke of Kobach, like the knights under his charge.They fitt

The three of them went inside the barracks and what they saw left them with round big eyes. Inside the underground hall were an incredible amount of fighters ready to step into the first ranks of the tournament. Some looked so fiery in their fighting suits with their weapons at their sides. Some others looked mysterious as they were covering their faces with masks of different colors and types. However, some others were wearing the uniforms of their clans and units, the clan crests were visibly embroidered. They looked quite imposing. It would be a lie to say that Emma was not concerned."Don't worry, E… Mina," Devon could feel the flinch on Emma's body. She had it too the first time she participated but her dear older brother helped her calm down."Mm," Emma nodded but she was still nervous. It will be her first time to prove her abilities against formidable fighters, even more, they all came with a purpose higher than proving themselves, they were carrying the

Mina, let's go register," Devon took Emma's hand to the front stand to get their number for the competition.They were going to be part of the first stage of competitors. Only the champions of the last tournament with the highest rankings could start on the second stage or the third stage. The others should go through the preliminary fights to enter a ranking."Why is your brother not starting from the second stage?" Emma noticed that Devon's brother had attracted much attention, some fighters were even shaking hands with him and giving some compliments."He hadn't participated in the last two tournaments, his ranking had expired.""Oh… that is not fair," Emma whispered, but the thought of having to compete with someone that experienced and strong gave her a bit of shiver."Don't worry, Emma, he would go easy on you," Devon smiled and giggled a little, "hurry, take one of the numbers."The positions were determined at random, some box

"Mina, he is…"Emma was stunned for sure, she never thought to see her husband battle so soon in the tournament. He may have done that because he was the main host of the event, but somehow she had a bit of suspicious.How on earth did he end fighting Ilian?"He is a jealous freak," she murmured when somehow the eyes of the Duke suddenly landed on her making a thousand spectators cheer when they saw him smiling."Did you see?""The Duke smiled, he… he smiled… towards here!""To whom? He was looking this side.""Maybe towards us!""Keep dreaming…""But, isn't this side the VIP room of Miss Gia?""That… that is true….""Oh my! He was smiling at her."The bunch of silly girls from behind were keeping screaming and spreading rumors, that will easily reach the top floors of the VIP rooms.

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
