Blaze didn't touch his soup after he sniffed it and found the poisonous weed in it. Brandon is the one who noticed it first. He gave his Brother a questioning look. Blaze shook his head as if to tell him ' not here '. Brandon understood his meaning and simply pushed his own soup away and rested his arms on the table and began to listen to the conversation of the advisors.
Lord Michael noticed that both the brothers are not eating anything. He frowned with confusion. He is sitting on the right side of Blaze and Brando is sitting on the left. He is not as subtle as Brandon. So he voiced out his observation out loud, garnering the attention of the other advisors.
"Your highness, why are you not eating anything? With all that work we did since this morning, I am sure you must be hungry" he asked with fatherly concern.
Everyone on the table looked at Blaze curiously. Stephen frowned when he noticed that the soup is untouched.
'Damn it, why is he not eating? It
"What happened?" Bella asked when Blaze remained quiet.Blaze looked at his mate and his brother. His two most trusted confidants. These two are the ones he trusts the most. He knows that will always have his back in good or bad."My soup was poisoned" Blaze revealed.Brandon is shocked into speechlessness.Bella gasped with shock and anger."Who dared to poison your food?" She demanded angrily. Her protective instincts rose to the surface, and her eyes shined with the power of the relic for a second, which both the brothers missed.Blaze rubbed his face tiredly."What?" Brandon exclaimed with shock.Blaze turned to face the palace again. Both Brandon and Bella stood on either side of Blaze and they are looking at Blaze for an explanation or something."I don't know," Blaze said truthfully.Bella and Brandon frowned at his answer."Blaze, what happened? How did you detect the poison? Tell me everythin
After they concluded it must be Stephen, they decided to keep an eye on his every move."We are suspecting him. It can or cannot be Lord Stephen. But all the clues we gathered so far are pointing in his direction. We need something solid to confirm our suspicion. So we need to stay close to him. Even the cameras we installed couldn't capture anything useful. He is being very careful. So we need to be subtle and keep an eye on him all the time" Blaze said.Both Bella and Brandon nodded their heads."And make sure he wouldn't get suspicious. Or else, he will become careful and all our efforts will become futile" he warned them.Both Bella and Brandon understood what Blaze is trying to tell them. They understood that they need to be careful. Stephen is clever and cunning. He escaped from everyone's eyes so far. That in itself is a tricky thing. So all of them should be extra careful when they are dealing with Stephen.After they are done, Brandon left
That night, Bella is sitting in the bathtub, her eyes closed. Blaze finished his work in the palace and flew towards the tower. He soundlessly landed on the balcony and folded his wings back. He walked inside the room searching for Bella. He followed her scent and found her in the bathtub.He quickly undressed himself and joined her inside the bathtub. Bella is startled when Blaze settled in the bathtub behind her."Hmm" she hummed when he wrapped his arms around her."What were you thinking?" he asked her softly."About everything that happened today" she replied truthfully.Blaze sighed."Until now we don't know who the person is. But now we have a suspect. It's now easy to concentrate on him and observe his every move. Until now we thought he might not be the one. But now, everything changed. You don't worry about all that. I am sure we can deal with him soon" Blaze promised.Bella leaned back into his embrace. Blaze peppered
The next morning Bella is training with the goddess. They are now training in a labyrinth, which is just like a maze. If you know the ins and outs of the labyrinth, then you have the advantage over your opponent. If you don't, then you can consider yourself dead.Bella is trying to find where the goddess is hiding, but in vain. The goddess is coming out of nowhere and delivering a killer blow, which would have killed her if the blow is real.Bella is trying her best to trust her senses. They are working just fine, but not completely. Every now and then, her opponent is sneaking upon her, as silently as a cheetah."Trust your senses, Bella. Close your eyes, and concentrate. Don't forget, you should be able to tell the direction of the wind when fighting with a stronger opponent. Use everything you have to your advantage" the goddess advised from somewhere close by.Bella followed the direction of the voice and heard the retreating of silent footsteps
Bella is shocked to find Lord Angelo hiring the bandits to kill Blaze."He is lord Angelo" Bella pointed out."He is" the goddess agreed.Bella is in a state of shock. Even though she knows that lord Angelo doesn't like Blaze, she never thought he would reduce himself to this level."I know he doesn't like Blaze and never accepted him as his king. But this? This is too much" Bella muttered.The goddess didn't say anything, but instead, she decided to show what must have provoked Lord Angelo.Soon their surroundings changed and now both the woman are standing in Sandro's chambers in the palace.Bella is shocked to find Sandro in a miserable state. She only broke one of his arms. But the Sandro lying on the bed has all of his limbs broken."What happened to him?" Bella asked with puzzlement.The goddess chuckled."Your mate happened" she replied with mirth shining in her eyes.Bella frowned."Bla
Blaze, Bella, and Brandon are a team that can communicate without talking. Their teamwork and their precision in coordinating with each other are mind-blowing. When Brandon is struggling with three bandits at once, Bella helped him fight them off without him having to ask her for help.Blaze was right, more bandits were hiding in the village than the initial 15 they saw. They kept pouring out like a never-ending waterfall. But none of the bandits expected that King Blaze is not just one, but three. He has the support of his brother and mate, which no one saw coming.Everyone expected Brandon to help his brother, but no one had a clue that his mate is as efficient as the prince. Lord Angelo gulped with fear when he saw how swiftly they are dealing with the bandits. Their moments are fast and everything is blurry even to a dragon's eye.Angelo began to get scared even to blink his eyes. He is scared that one of the trio would come and kill him after finding
Inside the palace, Stephen is walking towards his chambers, when the rumors about their fierce queen began to spread around the palace. He frowned his eyebrows with confusion.'What are they gossiping about?' he thought.He deliberately stopped near a group of dragon warriors, who were discussing a certain bandit attack.'Bandit attack? If anything like this ever happened, then it is me who would orchestrate it. But this time I didn't do anything. What are they talking about? Is there anyone else who wanted to kill the king apart from me?' Stephen thought curiously."A group of bandits surrounded us. They released a strange gas into the air forcing our dragons to sleep and making us incapable of shifting into our dragon self. Those nasty bandits pinned all of the dragon warriors to the ground, making us helpless. Only our king and the prince stood standing against 50 or so bandits. Then suddenly our queen appeared out of nowhere. She stood beside our king
Blaze held a court to investigate the bandit attack. Trying to kill a king of the realm is not a simple thing. It should not be taken lightly. All of his advisors including his prime suspect Stephen and the others who hate his guts like Lord Angelo and Lord Bowman are in attendance. Some of the other royals who are curious about this issue are also waiting eagerly to find out who the culprit is. The royal guards closed the double doors of the throne room, avoiding anyone from going out or coming inside the throne room after the investigation began. Blaze is sure the culprit is in their midst. Because no one apart from his advisors knows about his plan of visiting the weed-infested village. But the Bandits somehow found out where he would be and at what time. They came there at the right time, with a lot of backup. So he understood its someone from inside the palace who tipped them off. He looked at each one of his advisors with a skeptical gaze. Stephen
