Andre messaged them about two days later, saying that he had planned the whole thing out.He would help Aurora blend into the crowd of the female tributes. And Damien could wait in the forest during the day. When night fell, Damien could take the cover of night and found a way to sneak into the camp
“Good,” Damien said freezingly.Just then, Aurora walked out of the cave with a new outfit.She was dressed in a cropped-top and a fitting skirt, adorned with sequins, beads, or coins. The clothes were made in a light, flimsy texture, revealing her gorgeous body figure.Her hair was braided, with fl
“You.”Silas’s voice came from above her head.Aurora held her head down stiffly. She was afraid that Silas would recognize her if she met his eyes.“You. Raise your head,” Silas demanded.From a peripheral look, Aurora saw that he was pointing at her!Aurora’s heart sank.Silas picked her? Among al
Andre clenched his fists, his body shaking violently in a mixture of fear and anger.“How can I not be freaking out!” he growled lowly, “We are fucking talking about murdering Danton, the General! Right under the King’s nose! Oh fuck…this is probably a horrible idea. Maybe…Maybe we should give up on
Aurora took a look at the girl.She was too scared to move an inch.Seeing this, Aurora slowly rose from the ground and walked up to Danton.“General, would you like some wine first?” she asked with a smile.Danton stared at her with a lewd gaze, “I have had plenty of wine already…But sure. I will h
Blood gushed out from Danton’s mouth and spilled everywhere.Dora screamed and backed away from this horrible scene.She saw something dropped to the ground.It took her a second to realize that it was half of Danton’s tongue.Danton’s knees sunk to the floor. He covered his bleeding mouth with both
Andre rushed to hold the door still.Silas pushed it open slightly. Yet Andre shoved it right back.“Andre?” Silas’s voice turned dark, “What the hell is going on here? Why don’t you want me to go in?”There was cold sweat on Andre’s forehead. He was so nervous that he started to stutter, “F—Father
“If it is absolutely impossible to get Silas out of the city, I don’t mind going for the first option,” Damien said icily.Aurora gave him a look of astonishment.That was a hard decision to make. And few people were tough enough to make that decision this quick.“You are crazy,” Andre snapped in fu
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
During the next couple of days, Damien was busy meeting up with the other Luna candidates.Aurora was glad that he was preoccupied with other things and couldn’t badger her with insane questions anymore.She went into the packhouse during the day to spend time with Aspen. And during the night, she h
The tension between them started to build up again.“No.”Aspen replied loudly, “I don’t want to go to your orchard.”Blanc and Gabriel let out a sigh of relief.Ellington looked super embarrassed.“Are you sure? It will be fun. I bet that you have never been to a private orchard opened up just for
They ran down the path through the garden and saw Aspen collapsed on the ground not so far from here.The boy rubbed his forehead, with tears circling in his eyes.Standing in front of the boy was Lady Ellington.Aurora rushed to hold the boy in her arms. “Aspen! What happened?”Aspen twitched his l
“…I—I don’t know.”He said after a while, “You should pick a pretty lady, I guess?”Damien’s eyes flickered across Aurora’s face, “You believe that Lady Kurt is the prettiest among all of them. So you think I should pick Lady Kurt?”“No, not Lady Kurt!” the boy cried anxiously.“But you said that sh
Aurora’s mind went blank.Damien didn’t kick her out? But…why?She intentionally downplayed herself. Anyone with a right mind would think that she was not qualified to be the King’s Luna.Yet Damien didn’t explain his decision.He simply got up from his crown and left the room. The elder and Lord Ku
