“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
The room lapsed into silence again hearing about Angelina’s words.What she was saying about the Rogue King got everyone intrigued.“You know the Rogue King personally?” Glen asked. “What is the Rogue King like? We know so little about this person that we aren’t even sure about the person’s gender.”
One drew out his sword and held it against Blanc’s throat.“My…My King…Is this punishment too severe?” Ellington said in a small voice, “Lady Blanc is a noble nevertheless…And nothing happened to the young master really…”“Anyone who plead for Blanc will be punished by the same standard,” Damien sai
Blanc’s breathing quickened.She tried to shake Aurora off.But it felt as though Aurora’s grip was made of iron. She couldn’t break free.In horror, she turned to Damien for help and cried out in a pitiful voice, “M—My King, please talk some sense into her! I am a Luna candidate! She can’t disrespe
“ENOUGH.”Damien spoke up and silenced the whole crowd.“There was no point arguing about this.” He said in a cold voice, “Take these cookies and cake to the lab and see if there is any peanut in it. The truth will speak for itself.”The soldiers received his order and hurried out of the lounge agai
Damien narrowed his eyes. “Are you telling me how to rule my kingdom?”Ellington’s mouth dropped open, “No…Of course not…I wouldn’t dare…”“And it makes me wonder why you are targeting Lady Kurt.” Damien let out a snort, “You wouldn’t think that you will naturally become Luna once I punish Lady Kurt
“Aspen…ASPEN!”Aurora took the boy in her arms and cried, “Bring the car! To the hospital NOW!”Some people hurried to bring over a car.Gabriel shivered by Aurora’s side. “H—He was alright just a second ago…What happened? Is it…poison?”“Allergy.” Aurora gritted. “Aspen is allergic to peanuts!”The
There were only 3 days left before Aspen chose the final 3.So every lady was out there doing their best to win over the boy’s heart.Some of them brought Aspen handmade cookies; some tried to buy him off with expensive jewelries; one lady even hired an entire circus to the packhouse just to make th
Damien widened his eyes.He saw a woman’s face, which was covered by dreadful burns and scars.Her skin got licked by flames so hard that it was almost impossible to recognize her original features.This was not the scene that he expected to see when he removed that mask.The room lapsed into a deat
Damien’s breathing quickened.That woman…how dared she lie to him!And most importantly, why would she hide her real identity?Who was she, really?Damien ended the phone call and went back to the dining hall.He took a deep look at the woman sitting next to Aspen. She was still wearing that mask ev
The elder cleared his throat awkwardly.He wanted to rule out Janine Kurt as well.But the King clearly said that he wanted her to stay. He didn’t show as much interest to the other ladies, only to this one.As astonishing and ridiculous as it might seem, this Janine Kurt might actually be the winne
