“Lord Holiness.” Akmal raised his hand.“Yes?”“That thing…” He pointed at his uncle. “Why is he here?” Shadow didn’t have to turn her head to understand what he was talking about.“That man is working for me.” She said, deafening.Her voice was low, but it was the loudest yet. Their bodies stirred with panic.Alas, the deafening silence once again attacked them. The workers that already filled the office toured the other entrance just to avoid the area. The crown prince and the holiness were talking with the executive. She brought her trusted person and a bizarre creature while cornering the executives.Whatever it was, it wouldn’t be pretty if they were to get involved.“Why the man is working with you when he should be withering in the dungeon or torture room?” Akmal bravely narrowed his eyes at Shadow.Malikul saw the disrespect, yet said nothing. Shadow knew how to handle this kind of person. Furthermore, his wife was far from a damsel in distress. If anything, she was the king
“It’s not a misunderstanding.” Shadow grasped the situation rather quickly. “The one who is guilty is you. You! You try to paint your uncle as a bad guy to satisfy your own greed. Fucker!” Shadow plunged on the seat once.“My love…”Shadow stopped him by raising her hand right in front of his face.“This fucker knew. He fucking knew. He readily destroyed his uncle just because his fragile ego couldn’t take the hit.”Wince.It was so painful, Akmal had to wince. Shadow spoke nothing but the truth.For Shadow, now she understood why these people were exceptionally quiet when Jamal’s issue was brought to light. It was because they knew the truth. They willingly feign ignorance. Shadow leaned forward, her upper body and knees bent as she propped her hands on the table.“My love,” Malikul tried to grab Shadow’s wrist.Shadow had shown her intimidating aura. Her eyes caught Akmal particularly. “You… wake up.” Her voice was low, akin to a whisper.However, it was so loud inside all of them.
Malikul growled. He had zero fear even though facing the calamity himself. Even he was Ferdinand, the rumored ambitious dragon lord.Malikul squeezed harder, nails threatening to break the skin.Ferdinand sneered, “it would be so easy just to kill me,” he said, making no attempt to defend himself.Shadow snorted, her yellow pupils studied Ferdinand with wonder. Wait a minute… Shadow realized something. The opportunity she was waiting for was here, in front of him, dangling his butt like a fucking masochist.“Go ahead. I know you don’t care about that old fucker. What is he to you, the genius Malikul Afdal, the crown prince?”Shadow focused and shifted her attention fully to him.Akmal made an animated sound at the door.Malikul had no choice but to let him go, feeling his rage yield to his concern. “Whatever you’ve done with my wife’s subordinate, I’ll return to you ten times worse.”Ferdinand slumped on the ground, back slid against the wall. He rubbed his throat and smirked. “How ni
“What is going on? I am a bit confused here.” Ali whispered next to Malikul.Ibrahim listened tentatively silently. He was inclined to believe his daughter had a reason to get so mad. Whatever she said would be presumingly correct and he had nothing to against it. To him, Shadow was never wrong and if she was ever wrong, she was actually right. Whatever it was.Juviana, Miley, Julian, David, and Nathan watched Shadow quietly, controlling their breath, and chased her not far behind, putting a distance. For them, their mental safety was of utmost importance. Her rumors weren’t an exaggeration, if anything, people downplayed them a lot.She wasn’t a sadistic freak, but a silent storm that potentially killed them if they weren’t careful enough.They took off to a foreign kingdom as soon as they were summoned. Best believe they heard no explanation of some sort but her strained voice of her was enough to keep them on their toes.“Is she always… like this?” David gossiped next to his count.
“Where are we going?” Ali tried his luck once again after he was met with cricket.Again, Ibrahim leaned in, attentively listening to any answer.Malikul was unusually quiet down with hunched shoulders. His eyes filled with complicated thoughts though he wasn’t as moody as yesterday. Ali took it as a win. Usually, it would take Malikul more than three days to calm down and converse as usual.“Daddy, uncle,” Shadow replied to them, however.Her voice didn’t indicate anything. The covered face also gave nothing to them.“Familiar with this altitude?”They didn’t have to look around to see what the altitude was. They instinctively knew where the altitude was taking them. In fact, the people behind them also knew. Because this latitude brought them exactly to where they wanted to go. “I don’t really know where we are but I’m familiar with the latitude,” Ibrahim said thoughtfully.“We are at the highest ground, crossing the continent. It is not a western continent.”Nathan who just staye
It took them a few couples of minutes to enter the main vast area right at the center. Before they reached the center, the barrier became even stronger. Yet, Juviana and Miley easily dispelled it.“Don’t tell me…” A realization hit Juviana belatedly.“Yeah. She summoned us here because of the barrier.” Miley confirmed the suspicions.“Unbelievable.”“We also may have other uses. Brace yourself.” “Wow, the audacity.”“Accept your fate. We are here for purposes. We might need to attack the grey dragon as well.”“No.” Juviana’s eyes quivered.A dragon was powerful alone. They were facing the grey dragon which was famous for his nasty personality. Juviana refused to gamble her life but the one who led her by the nose was none other than Lord Holiness. As soon as they entered the barrier, the scenery changed once again. It looked like a pre-historical. The huge mansion was right in front of them surrounded by the garden in a circle shape, covering the whole mansion.Every tree branch, ev
“Shadow…” He mumbled Shadow’s name in a violent heartbeat.Shadow slung her arm at the top of her chair and crossed her legs. Her eyes showed no apologist as a smirk was evident on her face.“We should discuss why I poisoned you. We can’t let them misunderstand my intention.”In Nathan’s arms, the dragon still dared to rudely point his finger at Shadow with bloodshot eyes.“You want to kill me.” Accused him.Malikul silently snorted but enjoyed the drama. He knew his wife, she wouldn’t do it unless she had a reason to do so.“I have my reasons as well.” She defended herself when their eyes shifted to her, asking for clarification.“You… you… I don’t intend to traumatize you. I just… just wanted to scare you off. There’s no deep meaning in it.” “Yeah, because you intend to kill me from the get-go, not knowing that your son is in my favor.”“Nonsense!” He snarled.“It is not nonsense. You can ask him if you wish to. The previous king nearly knocked him out permanently. He fucked your s
Draco disappeared as soon as the issue was ordered and he was fully equipped. Making this place her own, Shadow sauntered around while followed by the rest of them. Julian and David’s bodies twisted in excitement as Shadow crashed one of the available chambers.It was a workshop room filled with expensive equipment.“Lord Holiness…” They twisted their bodies, eyes sparkled with excitement.Giving permission as it was her place, the dwarves disappeared inside the room with an excited roar.“What about us?” Juviana pointed at herself.“Please let us borrow the room,” Miley said elegantly, her eyes had already roamed around the room with a hint of astonishment. “Sure.”Juviana and Miley hopped excitedly and clapped with each other.“Yay!”Then, they rushed inside.Nathan was standing behind with hands placed on his navel, head cast down.Pap!His back was hit by Shadow. The lady who was already wearing the mask; smiled.“I’m not sending your dad to kill him.” She said in a cheerful ton
