KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 25.ESMERALDA’S POV.The next day was our very first assessment at the academy, and it is to be held in front of everyone else—all the groups divided and all. I had spent the entirety of the day before on practicing, pushing myself up until the point where I could not take it anymore. By the time I went back to the building, it was around dinner time so I simply got my dinner, before going back to my room to wear off the exhaustion and sleep off.The day of the assessment, we were supposed to show up by six in the morning, and I found myself waking up around 4. I spent the first hour on warm up and last minute practices, before taking a shower a little past five. Once dressed and all, I made my way out—noticing almost everyone is already out. Valeria and Ruby were nowhere in sight—and as per prior agreement, we had decided to all meet up at the grounds simply so I did not bother to check up on any of them.Instead, I stopped by the cafeteria, where most of the peop

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 26.ESMERALDA’S POV.There were bleachers set up at the sparring grounds, on one side for us and on the other side, for the instructors, all with canopies above to shield us from the scorching sun, though something about the clouds forming showed it would rain soon enough. We all settled down on our side, all jumbled up regardless of earlier formed groups.On the side of the instructors, eight chairs were set up, one royal one in the middle belonging to someone that does not really require one to think much into knowing. My thoughts were proved correct when he suddenly made an appearance, and his dominating aura span round the training grounds, drawing attention to him.The Crown Prince truly is the epitome of charisma and dominating aura oozing from him, because it is impossible to ignore being drawn to him. He strolled in, with calculating and dominating steps, and to his right as always, Elias followed closely and to his left, another man whose name I still have

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 27.ESMERALDA’S POV.This is not going to be an easy fight, I just know it. However, I am not scared.Zayde, that is his name. As a leader of the group of SoulTakers here, his name already precedes him, and it is obvious from his expression and the way he carries himself that he reveres in it. However, it is not just mere hype, something tells me he is worthy of it, or even more to be honest.The smile he offered me when our gazes met was nothing friendly, I recognize the glint in his eyes from when we had a staring contest earlier. I could tell, he does not take this serious. To him, this is nothing but a mere game, maybe something to pass up the time.In simple words, I am not a good enough opponent to him and I believe that is his first mistake. Never underestimate your opponent—that is one of the few good things my father taught me, and he has never be wrong about that before.Both Zayde and I emerged from the bleachers, appearing from each side as we made our

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 28.ALEXANDER’S POV.Originally, I did not plan on coming to the first assessment, or most of to be honest—all these are way too basic for me to concern myself with. The real assessment are way ahead of the students so this is nothing to concern myself with, not when I have other things on my plate to worry about.However, my entire perceptive on this has changed since the minute my woman joined and became a part of it, and though I have no plans of stepping to her aid, it does not stop me from being concerned about her.As the Crown Prince, I remain impartial, and need to uphold the same stance with them all. Besides, I brought her here to see her capabilities as well, it would be wrong for me to interfere and I have no plans of doing so. Not to mention, if I do try something I am sure she would not like it so there is no point to try something like that. However, before being the crown prince

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 28.ESMERALDA’S POV.My body hurts, and I think I have fractured my left leg ankle. I stared at the sky, letting out heavy breaths as the sounds in the background increased, cheers in celebration of me getting my ass kicked—so loud, I should be feeling depressed to have so many people glad to see me fail.But I was fucking happy.A smile made its way on my face as I stared at the dark sky, the clouds angry and dark. The sun hid under the wrath of the clouds, and it grumbled. I felt it on my skin before I realized it—the light drizzle began to fall, the grounds becoming wet due to the rain.I should get up, but I did not. The leg which I suspect the fracture to come from laid on the ground, while I folded the other at my knee. My chest heaved up and down as I breathed out, one hand laid by my side while the other rested on my belly.I did it. I passed this round.Sure, I failed two round and only won one—but that is enough for me to stay. I may have been confident to

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 29.ESMERALDA’S POV.The moment we entered the academy, Zayde led me to the nearby chairs by the entrance so I could settle down while he went to get a warm blanket for me as we were both wet from the rain. It was as he settled me down did I truly look at him, and took in his features.He is wet from the rain as well, so his hair stuck to his forehead, giving him a messy look. Even while wet, he still looked good—no wonder most of the women were crushing on him. And without a doubt, I would be on their hate list, despite them not knowing that we are not even friends to begin with.I mean the man kicked my ass again! How can they suspect there to be anything between us? Come on, they should be logical.A sigh escaped my lips as I tapped my fingers against the seat while I awaited his return, for I could feel my cloth clinging onto my body, and suddenly, the breeze felt cold. Our body allo

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 30.ESMERALDA’S POV.Blood rushed to my cheeks, and though his gaze was still set ahead, not on me, I found myself looking away in embarrassment, feeling like a deer caught in headlights. My hold around his neck tightened unintentionally, but I happened to realize it quickly so I loosened it, then cleared my throat slightly.“I was not staring,” I lied, trying to save some face for myself. How embarrassing would it be to be caught staring? I already feel shy being in his arms like this, knowing fully well how wrong this is—but it does not change the fact that deep down, I enjoy it.If I dare say, I even forgot that this is supposed to be wrong. Not when I am with him like this, not when he treats me this way.My words had him turning his head around, still walking as he held my gaze, his stern expression not wavering as he responded to my words. “I hate lies the most,” he stated, his tone his usual cold one. His eyes narrowed slightly, and though it did not feel th

KING’S LUNA CHAPTER 31.ESMERALDA’S POV.My feet moved forward on their own accord, carrying me in his direction. His gaze remained set in my direction—his expression difficult to read and yet, that unmoving stare made my insides curl. Being under his scrutinizing gaze like that, I felt like a deer caught in head lights, but I did not feel the need to shy or hide away.Instead, a small smile made its way on my face as I went and stood in front of him, then extended my hand out which held his coat, “Thank you for this,” I whispered, surprised my voice came out that low. When I spoke again, my voice was clearer. “And thank you for…everything.”He did not say anything. Instead, he took the coat from me, then dropped it on the couch beside him, uncaring how it landed nor moving his gaze away from me. My gaze followed the coat though, a bit taken aback by how casually he could toss it away like that.Fox fur coats are only worn by the royals, and it is hella expensive and valuable. A norma
