The roof of the house had fell down because of the fire. And there were weak groans coming out of the ruins.Aurora came to help Kaelan. Together they lifted the roof and pulled a man out of it.“Sir! Can you hear me?” Aurora knelt down by his side and asked, “Where are the rogues? Have you seen the
“A creek down the West?” Glen asked astonishedly, “How do you know? Wait, why do you speak the rogue’s language?!”But Aurora had ran towards the West already with Kaelan and other Ever Moon’s solders following right behind her.Aurora was going at her full speed. The burning village quickly receded
The group of rogues ran for their lives, including the Scar. One of them tried to take Aurora with them but he got shouted at by another:“What the fuck are you doing! Just fucking leave her—”He didn’t get to finish.The next second a giant black wolf leaped out from the darkness and bit down on th
“The timing is suspicious. They attacked us first right before we send out our advance force. And they chose the perfect target, Fox Town, which is geologically easy for them to attack and retreat, and it doesn’t have many armed soldiers. They can’t have this much information without somebody on the
Everyone in the room turned to look at Aurora, who frowned at Glen’s question.“Rogue’s language? What are you talking about?” she asked.Glen looked reluctant. After letting out a long sigh, he continued, “I didn’t want to say anything at first but since we are naming names now…Remember that strang
Damien rose from his seat.With everyone staring, he walked to the door and called over a Silver Blade soldier, asking him to find Kaelan.“We should hear what Kaelan has to say,” said him deeply.Moments later, Kaelan was brought into the room.“You requested to see me?” he asked blankly. “Did anyt
Aurora looked at him blankly. It took her a long moment to process what he just said.After what felt like an eternity to Kaelan, Aurora finally muttered in a dry voice, “…This joke isn’t funny, Kaelan.”“I wish it were a joke. But it wasn’t,” Kaelan said breathing heavily. “I—I can’t keep this from
“All rogue’s kids got one of those on the day of their birth,” Kaelan said lowly. “There were times when I wanted to grab a knife and gouge it out…I can’t choose who I am or where I came from. But does my identity matter more than my own will?”Aurora stared at his ugly shaped brand.Her chest contr
“There isn’t!”He chuckled lowly, “Fine. Then what should we do before bedtime?”“You can read to me. There is a novel on the nightstand.”With one arm still wrapped around her shoulder, he reached over and grabbed the book.Turning the book to the page that she folded, he started reading.He had a
Her heart was thumping so crazily that she was afraid that he might hear the sound of her heartbeat.But she didn’t let her panic show.“Do you have a trusting issue, Westin?” she asked, pretending to be vexed.“Don’t make this about me, my love.” He raised an eyebrow while saying, “First you manage
“Hey what are you talking about over there? We need our pitcher,” Westin cried to them in the distance.Aurora laughed and patted on Clemente’s shoulder, “You should get back in there.”The game lasted for hours till the moon moved to the center of the night sky.Eventually stewards had to step in a
He kept going till her angry screams completely faded in the distance.***When Clemente returned to the castle, it was already approaching nightfall.He immediately wanted to report back to Aurora.Yet a soldier by the front gate said that the King needed him in the training field.So he turned and
Agnes stared at him.The horrified look faded from her face.Eventually, her face became expressionless.“Yes,” she uttered.“…What?”“I said yes.” Agnes let out a light chuckle, “You were asking me for an answer. I am answering you right now—Yes. I do want Westin for myself.”Clemente gritted his t
“And you are defending her!”Tears streaming down Agnes’s cheeks as she shrieked:“Do you know what a hard time she gave me a couple of days ago? She expelled me from my own tea party, Clemente! How can you ever hang out with her? You swore to your brother on his deathbed that you would always help
After a long while, Clemente put the pregnancy stick into his pocket and picked up the lemonade again.He crossed the lawn and found Aurora and the twins by the water fountain.“You are back!” Belle jumped up as soon as she saw him, “Come and smell the roses, Clemente. The gardener just picked it ou
“Of course, it will!”Belle answered right away:“The fog in the mist forest had nothing to do with the weather. It is a magical power that protects our Kingdom 24/7…”She paused.And then started to giggle, “…kind of like Clemente!”Wells rolled his eyes, “I didn’t know why Westin sent this guy to
Aurora’s mind went blank for a second.Although she had seen this coming, she had not prepared for this.There was actually a baby inside of her body, a baby she could not protect.How would Westin react to this?He would certainly be enraged.He hated Damien to his gut, and he would hate Damien’s k
