Chapter 54
“Are you nervous, Harris?” I constantly shake my head as if I am denying the feeling of disturbance inside me when in reality I can’t put a stop to my hands from uneasiness.
I just turned away my gaze from her instead, because I couldn’t afford to look into her eyes, she might find out that I am not telling the truth for real about how I genuinely feel.
She reached for one of my hands, which immediately made my eyes fixed attention on her hand that was now tightly holding my palm, and then she wrapped it around mine as if she was trying to say to me that I should not be afraid of anything, considering that she was just here next to me always.
“Sister, I think we need to go down now the cliff,” Tonette told her older sister that brought me back from my deep thought. Dralia still has not let my hands go.
“I’ll be the first to go down below, Princess Dralia. I will just make s
Chapter 55We now continued our game plan to go down from here on top of this plateau. When we finally managed ourselves to get down in here already, I now had the chance to see in person the disturbing situation that Kiloy and Tonette had found out the moment they first stepped a foot down here below. I was shocked when I saw it with my two eyes. They were right, many explosives were being spread evenly around this very cliff. I was a bit confused at first given that on the other side of this cliff, there are no such things as these being implanted. It seems that this is the only part that has this kind of trap. I am now wondering, who would have thought to put such dangerous items in here?“Did you come right here to the explosions before? What do you think so, Tonya? Who would have the guts to put this type of thing here at the foot of the cliff?” Dralia’s face was now serious when she asked those questions to her younger sister. W
Chapter 56We sincerely talked to Tonette about what her older sister had told her earlier before this little misunderstanding between them happened. I had to do it to clear things out, and maybe I can be of help for the siblings to reconcile, especially now that we are almost close in completing our mission. I can’t just let Tonette think that Dralia said those words to her just because of what she was thinking that moment. Because the only reason, for real, is for her to realize that she should put her trust on us as well, especially now that the challenges we encountered and will be encountering is getting harder and harder, and it is possible that if we made a little mistake, all our lives are at risk, we can’t get to where we are heading, and all our efforts will be nothing. With that being said, if she doesn’t trust us and doesn’t take our opinions valuable, then, it’s just that we’re not on this mission. Trust is imp
Chapter 57All of a sudden, there are arrows that keep on flying over us out of nowhere. We are a bit shocked and at the same time confused about what was really happening right now. There are many questions that are running on our minds but we have to save ourselves at this moment first and get out of here real quick. So, the three of us jumped continuously from our spot to another, while Kiloy ran as fast as he could. We are left with no choice right now but to step back in the meantime. We can’t fight them fairly without any plan being laid first.“Run!” I am now panicking, as each one of us ran so fast back to where we came from before. We have no other choice. We have no other ways to cross, which means we have to go back from where we were coming from. Our feet were almost floating at the speed of the four of us running. So ironic, but that’s what happened.We were all out of breath when we finally reached the
Chapter 58I still can’t manage to move my body from where I am now standing, Kiloy helped me stand up earlier when I lost my balance and all of a sudden fell on the ground due to panic. Gon, for real, is a huge dragon. Our size is definitely just a small part of it, we’re just the same size as its foot.“W-Wait, y-you forgot to immediately mention earlier to me that G-Gon is actually a dragon, Tonette.” I complained to her while I am hiding behind Dralia right now as if I am a child scared of a ghost.“Come on, Harris. Gon is kind, and he is our friend. He is not as if trying to hurt us or does something harmful to us. So, you better stop what you’re doing and get out of there behind me.” I don’t have a choice, but to move next to Dralia’s side, but I still couldn’t help myself to panic and be nervous thinking so much at what the massive dragon that was in front of us today would do to
Chapter 59 Even if we were still at the gate to the kingdom of Dralia and Tonette, I was sweating profusely. Who wouldn’t sweat if you were already in the kingdom of the person you love, for how many years ago. Only now can I get to know Dralia’s parents in person. I am a bit nervous but I can still manage to calm myself and will not try to make any kind of awkward first impressions. Only Manang Antopina was the only one I knew who took care of Dralia back then. Then I also knew then that manang was not Dralia’s real parent. But even that is the case, I could still clearly see how much Manang loved and cared for Dralia so much, and also how she raised my girlfriend now to be kind. She did great, to be honest. The girl whom I love since has a kind heart for everyone, may it be a vampire or other races. A proof that she was raised well.When I had a chance to step foot in this place the last time, Dralia had not yet been accepted
Chapter 60 And now, Dralia and Tonette’s parents and I have already met in person. And at the same time, I finally had a chance to see again our trusted housemaid back then. Before we entered the palace, my nervousness before we entered the palace was at least covered by my too much happiness upon seeing Manang again alive and well. Manang Antopina was the one who first resigned from the hug, while I did nothing but tried to stop the tears that wanted to escape from my eyes. With every massage of the lady’s hand, everything from the past seemed to occur in my mind again as if it was fresh, happy, and worthy to remember memories. I remember the past, I remember the times my parents were still alive and kicking. I know that was a long time ago and accepted the fact that I can’t go back to the past or turn back time to encounter or experience again the normal life I had before. But there is no denying that I miss my parents very much. My heart longs to s
Chapter 61 We were just eating quietly at the table after Sir Dracu offered us food and made us feel comfortable. We all enjoyed the food, and at the same time the atmosphere in the dining table since we don’t have to be shy and feel the awkwardness in front of Dralia and Tonette’s parents for they welcomed us wholeheartedly and warmly in the palace. When we finished eating, Dralia’s mother approached me and talked to me. The first thing that came to my mind was how would I deal with Dralia’s mother? How am I going to open up to her comfortably? I might make a mistake every time I open my mouth. And that would be embarassing for me and for Dralia at the same time. But at this moment, all I cared is how I can make a good impression to them. That’s more important. For them to like me for their beloved daughter. “Harris, Son.” It cleared it’s throat first after saying my name. “Yes?” I turned to face the lady then paid respect by bowing my head.
Chapter 62Tita Delia cleared her throat first before starting to tell the story. Tita Delia rested one foot on the floor while sitting on the long sofa in their spacious living room. I would never have imagined that a family like this, would have its own palace. If they are really living in town and then a pure human beings, people will definitely be jealous of them and talk about them. Just consider the size of their residence, it would possibly the talk of the town.“Your home looks expensive and elegant, Tita. If you really live in town, you will definitely be the talk of the town.” I smiled and turned my eyes to Tita when my eyes got tired already of looking around the house and praising each part of it, in fact, it wasn’t really tiring to look at all, I was just overwhelmed by the height of the ceiling. Now I just noticed how beautiful the chandelier is, so elegant!“Oh, Hijo. It’s
