2021-03-26 19:55:06"Who was that, Emma?" Liam asked concerned as he caressed her cute little face. "Emma?"
"That… I don't know."
He hadn't expected to find her in that state. She was in the bed sweating cold drops from her head as if she was going through a lot of pain. Even the beautiful strands of her silver hair were soaked in a cold sweat from the anxiety and endurance she had to bear.
He clutched his fists as he couldn't follow that man to kill him. Emma's condition was more urgent to attend, later he will have his revenge. However, the only thought of what could happen if he hadn't come in time, sent him a wave of frustration. If he hadn't delayed so much his arrival… then she would be safe in his arms.
"Emma," he took her into his embrace tightly. "I am sorry I didn't come early."
"Don't worry, okay?" she tried to calm him down as she could feel the raging emotions about to erupt.
Some hours ago, he was still hesitating from shamelessly ju

"Ahh!"Inside a small house at the south of Avalor Capital, a man was screaming in pain from the burning leaf on his chest. He couldn't phantom that the Duke would retort to such an extreme and cruel method for a single woman. Even more for an enemy of his country, a witch, a luriem."Your Highness, are you all right?!"The servant kneeling on the floor saw his master struggling to contain the pain. His loud screams were giving shivers to his spine. He had never seen him that way. The thought of helping him with a healing enchantment crossed his mind many times but the man in the bed didn't let him go near him."Don't step any closer, you idiot!"The man knew what the man was thinking. However, he felt repulsed by those thoughts. No one was allowed to pity him. No one.He threw his white mask at the kneeling servant daring the lad to dodge. His raged purple eyes were sending a terrifying aura to the surroundings. So different from his handso

"You have to take care," Liam was beside Emma helping her dress for the tournament. From the inner clothes to the outer robes, even her socks and the shoes were put on by him. The delicate woman didn't have any choice or he will go crazy, at least this way he will be able to touch her for at least a minute. The soft fabric of the dress was letting him feel the warmth of her body and the smell of her fragrance."Don't," she slapped his hand when he was already moving mischievously around her waist and down. "Stop it.""Sigh… you are so tempting," his voice on her neck make her tremble a little.The night before, he barely stopped himself many times from waking her up to eat her. She was looking so cute while smiling in her dreams. She even dared to call his name many times so charmingly that he almost went crazy. That mouth of hers was so tempting.In the end, he didn't sleep for the whole night. The sight was so much for his heart and body. It was

"Welcome to the second stage of the Avalor Tournament."Madame Lu stood on the platform with her long red dress shining with the bright sunlight of the morning. She looked majestic as always, however, this time another group of four beautiful girls was walking by her side, wearing extraordinary dresses. They were carrying big boxes of different colors as their dresses."The group where you will fight today will be decided after our panel of judges reveals the table of rankings."The boxes the beautiful women were carrying were red, golden, white, and blue. Inside were balls of each of those colors. After the table of rankings is shown, the ones on the top will have the opportunity to choose first, while the rest will have to conform themselves with the rest of the places."Now, what we were waiting for," the table appeared in the air as a work of magic. The ones on the top, of course, were the Duke and Ilian, and the ones on the lower part were the ones f

Emma looked like a statue for the whole selection event. She didn't dare to move her head to take a look at the shameless face of the daring dragon behind her.However, the shameless man had his gaze fixed at her, for the whole event. Her cute pale and nervous face was so fascinating to see but more than anything the look of her lips when she couldn't stop biting them. Her anxious state was incredibly cute too.Then a sudden thought invaded his mind. A mischievous trick to tease his beautiful woman, to see if she will react in these circumstances or not.Emma was still focusing on the front watching her new team members when she felt something wrong on her back. His hand was slowly traveling to her waist caressing her back. The feeling was making her shiver and bit her lips again."Stop it," she whispered while still looking at the platform. "Don't you dare… Liam."The man utterly ignored her, instead, his other hand was now caressing her le

"You will have three hours to find the crystal orb around the forest, then you will have to store them on your tower and protect them from the other teams. The ones who have more crystal orbs in three hours will win. Good luck."The voice disappeared and they were left in a state of daze. They looked at each other recognizing their faces, as many of them were the first time they met."This… how we will do this?""Master Allen?""Captain Allen, you decide."They had already decided on Allen to be the leader of the group. It seemed the most obvious choice as he was the one with the better ranking. However, a certain group of nasty dragon girls was waiting in the back looking with disgusting faces. Not even joining the conversation."We will move into three teams and each team will have a leader," Allen didn't mind the sudden post and continue talking, they won't have a lot of time and the forest was too large to inspect. They will have

"We have in total nine orbs… sigh."The group was already reunited on the red tower. It was a tall construction visible from afar the same as the other towers. However, the bright red color of the roof made it discernable for the other competitors, the same with their own towers. The interior was empty space though. Only the top had windows as the ground level had one door. It was a simple construction easy to attack, perfect to test the abilities of the fighters."We don't know how many orbs the other teams have, dammit!""We should go look at them, however, we can't leave the orbs here without protection and we don't have enough people to attack the four other towers, we have to choose who to attack first.""The weaker teams, maybe the black team or the silver team, the blue one had other top rankers too. The golden team is out of question.""Maybe not," one said looking at Emma, "Miss Mina can take care of the Duke, though.""Yes,

"Your Highness, shouldn't we move to attack the other teams?"The members of the Golden team were around the tower enjoying a relaxing time, though some of them were focusing on the next battles.In the last hour, they had collected fifteen orbs, and then they had stopped when the Duke ordered. It seemed that the number was enough to pass the next stage, and, of course, the other teams won't dare to attack them in the least.Not once, they had seen another team member near the perimeters of their tower. They even seemed to be avoiding it for fear of enraging the mighty Dragon guarding the tower at the top.Only a few of the fighters that were lucky enough to stay in the same group as the Duke were now only taking preventive precautions but nothing more. Only a bit more from an hour was left and they hadn't done a lot. Some were even eager to go out to join the fight and warm their muscles before the next stage.However, a handsome Duke was sitting

"Devon, search for the orbs on the top," Emma was directing the rest of the group to look inside the perimeter of the Silver tower. The silver team never thought they would be attacked so soon so they were caught unprepared.They must have guessed that the other teams were attacking the red tower. So they decided to protect their own, or not?"There are only nine on the tower and the surroundings, where are the others?""Betraying their alliance."Emma didn't need to explain as it was quite obvious that they had used the opportunity to land an attack on the blue or black tower. She wanted to know from when they had the time to form an alliance. Maybe some of them knew each other before they choose their teams. That was most likely, but she also knew then, that they betrayed each other."Let's move faster, before the others notice," Emma already had brought down three fighters with her magic space spheres. They were useful to set traps around and ma

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.

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
