The traitor's revelation did not fluster the king. "Why is that a forbidden relationship?"
Aprod could not believe his ears. He gave King Eroh a deadly glare. "Is that how you rule Wishire Kingdom? You are allowing a disrespectful act!"
"Don't use the Crown Prince's relationship to bury your crimes. Traitors, like you and your allies, must die. You are nothing but a destructive plague in Wishire Kingdom!" King Eroh's final words and then he left the stage.
He then ordered the royal guards to imprison Aprod.
"Your kingdom will fall!!! Aris will rise to power!!! You should not rule Wishire!!!" Aprod's anger was roaring while he was being dragged by the royal guards.
In the embracing beauty of the place, Crowus Mountain, a fearless girl was training with her sword.She was in a black dress, reaching her ankle. Serin Blyth was embroidered on the back collar of her dress. Her long dark brown hair was tied. A black mask was covering her face, only revealing her mysteriously beautiful eyes.Along with the consoling breeze and dancing leaves was her sword that was swiftly and gracefully swaying in the air.Serin had amazing sword fighting skills. Her every movement was filled with enticing charm. Flawlessly swift but at the same time, gracefully pleasing.She was totally immersed in her training but when her quick senses instantly disrupted her, she stopped. No move
Whirling sensations instantly crept on him. Of all the people, why is he the one who is sketched on that old paper?He can't be wrong. That drawing is his face.He feels dizzy, all of a sudden. He has been sleepless since he found that girl on that completely dark and empty road and that's because of the obvious troubling fact that the girl called him Heron that night.And just now, another haunting mystery will surely make him antsier and more restless. Because of that sketch of him.It can never be coincidental. How can that be? To think that the person who found her that night is the same person who is sketched on that old paper.
While looking for Serin and Heron, Sodon's heart filled with guilt and regret felt a bit lighter. Finally, he had done something good to make up for the wickedness that he had done to the Crown Prince, especially to Serin.18 years ago..Serin was born bind. She had mysteriously beautiful eyes but all she could see was complete darkness. It was all blank and empty.Her father, Terus, had crossed rivers, mountains and villages just to look for someone who could heal her eyes from blindness. But sadly, no one could make her see.Her father suffered a broken heart when he had to leave Serin in Aris Village to fulfill his duty as a member of the great sword clan in the entire kingdom. The Aris Clan leader appointed him
The bell rings.Jeremy stood up and got his bag in a hurry. He rushed to Yenny's table. "I can't go home with you."Yenny looks confused. "Where are you going?""To the basketball gym. I will try out for the varsity team." He is really excited."Good luck!" Yenny's face instantly lit up."Thanks! See you later." Jeremy said and then he hustled outside the room.Yenny is really happy for Jeremy because she knows how much he loves playing basketball. It has only been a month since they entered junior high school, but Jeremy already decided to try out for the varsity team
"The wound is not caused by any gunshot nor an act of stabbing. Based on the sample weapons that we tried to perfectly match the depth and shape of the cut, it can never be a bullet nor a knife, but an arrowhead."Jeremy reread the email which he received this morning. It was from Scott Ford who works at the Medical Department at Lewis Crime Division Office.The deep cut on Serin's right shoulder has also been troubling Jeremy. It has already been more than a month but it hasn't healed yet. Even Dr. David and the attending doctors to Serin are totally puzzled why that deep cut has remained terribly serious despite their best effort to cure it.And because of that, Jeremy asked Scott Ford to have that deep cut examined.
"Good news, her condition is stable now. She can go home anytime you want. But she is diagnosed with amnesia."There is a silent pause. The three guys don't know how to react to what the doctor said.In a serious state, the doctor spoke again. "The patient's amnesia is severe. It's a total memory loss. But there's something unthinkable about her case.""What do you mean, Dr. David?" Chris asked, puzzled"It's strange that we could not identify the reason why she lost her memory. We already did multiple tests but we haven't found any possible cause. Her brain structure is surprisingly fine, no damage at all.""Is that possible?" Ken looks m

Serin's eyes widened. She is at a loss for words. She is completely clueless why Gail's necklace is in her clutch bag.Eyes filled with accusations are looking at her. Serin feels wronged."Should I call the police now?" Gail asked while mockingly stroking Serin's hair.Jeremy looked at Serin and lowered his displeased voice. "Get out of here."What Serin heard from Jeremy almost crippled her. She has been trying so hard not to appear weak in front of everyone. She has been fighting back her tears, boldly.Jeremy avoided her eyes and spoke once again, almost whispering. "I told you to get out of here. Now."
“Serin spoke in her sleep twice and during those moments, I vanished in the palace and appeared here in this present time. She must be wandering in her dreams, that’s what I am thinking right now.”Whirling emotions, Jeremy was having the same thoughts. Events that involved Serin’s dreams suddenly reappeared in his clear memory.On the night of his 18th birthday, he found Serin on Desf Road. He heard her call him Heron and when he was about to carry him, she longingly touched his face and painfully uttered, “Heron, you’re alive. I’m glad you’re alive.” Those were the same exact words that came out from her in her sleep before Sodon vanished in the past and was brought here in this present time.Jeremy could also remember the day he and Serin had a heated confrontation just because she went out of his condo unit without telling him. When they clashed for the first time, while her
When Jeremy began to notice that Dave had been treating him completely different from how he used to, he already knew why. Slowly getting closer to Serin, Dave had been falling for Serin. And with the fact that Jeremy was the one who found her on Desf Road and rescued her on that rainy night, Dave’s jealousy started to consume him. That was what Jeremy thought, but the painful truth was, Dave had silently hated him even before Serin came to his life.As his condition got horribly worse, Dave buried himself in a deeper state of misery. Since he fell terribly ill the day after his mom passed away, he had become miserably hopeless. He had been tortured and haunted by his own demons in his agitated mind. His own misery completely darkened his life. And the only one who could help him see even a spot of light was his younger brother.In his teenage years, Jeremy had to carry the heaviest weight on his shoulders. If it’s not for Dave, he could h
Criminal, that torturing word.The moment Dave uttered that word, his heart agonizingly broke. His confession, in an instant, took him to that gruesome and haunting night when he was nothing but a horrible monster.Year 2009, the night of his younger brother’s 14th birthday when he thought that his mom was busy in the kitchen preparing for the surprise birthday dinner for Jeremy. While he was in his room, suddenly the door opened.Dave’s body froze when he got caught using illegal drugs. With his mom’s widened eyes, both of them got completely shocked. His extreme nervousness made him throw the drugs in a rush, hands were quivering.Total gloom darkened Leona Sean’s face. Her steps towards her son got heavier. Her beautiful world fell apart.“W..Will you.. turn me in.. to the p..police.. this time?” Dave fearfully asked with his trembling voice and bloody red eyes.Leona
That phone call, in an instant, darkened his bright day. He was sure who was on the other line. That voice, he knew it.That was him, the old man whom he ran into Campbell Park across Tiffany Blue the night when odd occurrences terribly knocked him with shocking terror and absurd affliction. That was nine years ago but Jeremy could still remember him as clear as day. But that was not the first and last time their paths crossed.Five years ago, that old man suddenly showed up on Desf Road and gave him the black silk thread bracelet. And even until now, how that old man quickly disppeared before his sight on that endless and empty road still bothered him.When that old man called him Heron from the other line, for the first time in so many years, that name began to haunt him again. Like flashes of lightning that suddenly disturbed the tranquil dark sky, strikes of overwhelming fear started to frighten him.Jeremy sped up.
Serin suddenly woke up. That scenario in her dream was filled with strange familiarity.That mountain. That sword. That guy. Those men on horses. That old man.She could not help but feel like she had already seen them before, not in her dreams but in real life.In haste, she left the bed and walked straight to the closet. As soon as she opened it, she got her black dress.Looking at the embroidered name on the back collar, she felt sudden pain.She did have a name but her identity had remained mysterious. Her memory was still completely empty.Eyes locked on her black
'I'm glad that you're finally here.. right next to me.' It was like a sweet tune to her heart. Serin flashed a warm smile. The pouring rain became a beautiful shower in her teary eyes.No more hesitation, Jeremy fearlessly faced her. The girl, who was standing before him, had given him unfeigned strength during his silent battles. He had yearned for her which felt like forever. Every day and every night, he had waited for this moment. If it's just a dream, he did not want to wake up. But Jeremy was not dreaming, it's real. He was looking into Serin's beautiful eyes."Welcome back. It's nice to see you again." He was floating in a surge of profound happiness. Words alone could not describe what he was feeling at the moment.Serin exchanged tearful smiles with him. Her heart was also exclaiming in unexplainable delight. All those shared moments with him flashed back. From the first time their longing eyes met to the saddest day they p

Five years ago."I will send you the exact address, sir." A male voice said on the other line."You have done such a great job. I will call you if I need something. Thank you." Dave ended the phone call. Nervousness began to tremble him while hurrying downstairs.Carl, the private detective that he had hired, managed to find Yenny in just four weeks.As soon as he walked past the living room, someone, who was comfortably sitting on the luxuriously-looking sofa, caught his eyes. He stopped walking. 'What is she doing here?'"Hi, Dave!" Gail greeted him. She rose up from sitting and walked to where he was standing. She was displaying her beautiful smile. "Where are you going? You must be in a rush.""What brings you here?" He asked coldly."You still have the courage to show up this house after you caused a scene here a month ago?" Jeremy showed up. He was talking about the nig
Gail simpered. "You think you can fool me??" Gail thought that Dave was just fooling around to tease her since he already knew that she had feelings for Jeremy."What if she really likes my brother, will you do something?""I won't do anything because that's not true and that will never happen." There was certainty in her voice. "Since when did you become fond of playing jokes on someone?She let out a heavy sigh. "Driving for almost three hours now must bore you. If boredom is killing you, play some music. Stop spitting non-sense.""What will I get if I play a joke on you?" He sounded so serious while his eyes were focused on driving.Gail looked at him. How his face plastered seriousness could tell that he was no longer teasing her. That's what Gail felt but the truth was, Dave was only acting. He had to fake seriousness in his voice and expression to persuade her that he was telling the truth.
