2024-07-01 12:26:56"NO!" "FU*K!" they exclaimed simultaneously, glaring at each other in frustration.
The girl who bumped into Liam picked up her phone, frantically trying to restart it. "God, no, no, no... Please start..." she muttered. She then turned to Liam, scolding him for the mess. Liam, however, just stared at her, dazed.
He was lost, drowning in her deep blue eyes, which reminded him of someone he had lost a long time ago. Her eyes were mysterious and captivating, bringing back memories he had buried deep in his mind and heart.
Seeing Liam's vacant expression, the girl waved her hand in front of his face, calling, "Hello, mister!" But he didn't respond. Frustrated, she stomped her foot and walked away.
Rayan came over and looked at the fallen water bottle and the dazed Liam standing there. He shook Liam by the shoulder, finally bringing him back to reality.
"What happened to you, man? Why are you standing here like that?" Rayan asked.
Instead of answering, Liam kept looking around as if searching for someone. Then he turned to Rayan and asked, "Where is she?"
Rayan, confused, asked, "Who are you talking about? There was no one here except you when I came."
"Liam, what happened?"
"I bumped into someone on my way back and... she has the same eyes as her," Liam said.
"Like whom?" Rayan asked.
"Aisha."
"What?"
"I'm not sure if it was her or someone who just looked like her," Liam said.
"But how can that be possible? She died years ago. You need to move on from that incident, brother," Rayan said.
But seeing how Liam kept looking around, searching for the girl, Rayan realized his friend didn't hear a word he said. He couldn't blame him; he knew Liam had been blaming himself for the incident that happened 15 years ago. It was one of the reasons they had come here to study, far away from home.
"Okay," Rayan said, "if what you said is true, we'll meet her again. We're not going anywhere, and this island isn't so big that you won't run into someone a second time."
"Come on, let's go," Rayan said, putting his hand on Liam's shoulder and guiding him back to the tent.
"By the way, how is Lily?" Liam asked.
"Don't worry, she's fine now. After you left, we found a bottle of water under the pillows," Rayan said.
"Dude, where did you go to get water? It's been so long," Vickey said as they neared the tent.
"Nowhere, there was too much of a rush, so I got stuck," Rayan replied for Liam. Then, without giving them time to ask more questions, he said, "Are you guys done? Let's go. It's already late, and we have college tomorrow."
"Yes, let's go," Alex said, getting up. The others followed.

On the other side…
"Hey Lea, what happened? Why do you look so angry?" William asked.
"How else do you expect me to look? Some jerk out there bumped into me and spilled water all over my phone. Instead of apologizing, he just stared at me like he'd seen a ghost," Lea said, still trying to get her phone to work.
Seeing her frustrated expression, William said, "It's okay, chill. It's just a phone. We'll get a new one. Don't spoil your mood over such a small issue. We're here to unwind before your college starts tomorrow."
"Yeah," Lea said with a sigh, putting her phone in her bag. She walked towards a food truck with William.

"Who is this woman, and why is Liam staring at her like that?" Tressa exclaimed in anger."He even invited her to eat with them without hesitation?" Kira added.Tressa's expression grew darker by the second. She took out her phone and dialed an unregistered number, which was answered within three rings.Even before the person on the other end could speak, Tressa ordered, "I'm sending you a photo. I need complete information about her by tonight.""Okay, let me see what I can do," the person replied before the call ended."Don't worry, everything will be fine," Kira reassured Tressa."Even if something were to develop, Liam's parents wouldn't agree to their union. She's just a normal human. How could she compare to you?""And you said it yourself that your mothers were discussing your union. What's there to worry about?" Kira added."Hmmm," Tressa hummed, her gaze fixed on the direction the group had gone.Meanwhile, in the canteen, everyone placed their orders and settled down at a ta

"Good morning, my dear queen," Allen greeted as he stepped into the office, closing the doors behind him."Speak," she said, lifting her head to address Allen."Queen Mother's assistant called this morning to inform us that the queen mother has appointed the great sword master, Tang, as a personal trainer for Princess Alina, as she has shown a keen interest in sword fighting," Allen reported.Queen Elizabeth responded with a smile. "Mother dotes on her far too much. It's good to hear that she's taking an interest in something useful."Allen smiled, thinking of the spirited princess.“Continue,” the queen said after that.Taking a deep breath, Allen continued in a serious tone, "The expert we invited to treat King Edward has says that there is nothing more he can do. We can only pray to the gods for his recovery."Elizabeth let out a sigh, rising from her seat and approaching the window for some fresh air.

"Are you done with yours? If not, I pity you. The line's moving at a snail's pace," Will added."There is no need for you to worry about that" Liam, who had been overlooked until then, spoke up.Startled, Will turned towards him. Feeling a twinge of guilt for neglecting Liam, Lea shot him an apologetic glance, which he acknowledged with a smile and a blink.Without delay, she introduced them. "Will, meet Liam, my classmate. Liam, this is William, my brother's best friend's younger brother."After a brief exchange, both men nodded and exchanged handshakes.Suddenly, Will checked his watch, speaking hurriedly. "Look at the time! I'm late for class again. Can't afford to miss another one," he exclaimed, giving Lea a quick hug and bidding Liam farewell before dashing off to complete his task.For some reason, Liam felt a pang of discomfort seeing Will hug Lea. He couldn't quite explain the surge of irritation towards Will or the feeling of being overlooked. It puzzled him. His reverie was

"Why? You don't like it?" Liam asked with a frown on his face. "Have you looked around you? For the past some time when we were standing near the admin block all the girls around have been throwing daggers at me. It's like they want to strangle me to death given the chance," Lea said with a small smile on her face. Hearing her words Liam just started laughing as they walked toward the class. The corridor was empty as it was near the library and it was almost time for class. "Hearing him laugh Lea stopped walking and said, what are you laughing at ha? I am just stating the truth here. Do you know how difficult it was for me to keep myself composed till now?" Lea added. Liam stopped laughing moved closer to her and looked directly into her blue eyes which were as deep as the ocean for a few seconds and asked her "So you think I am attractive?" with a smile on his face. Lea gulped in some saliva at the proximity at which they were standing. His masculine scent mixed with a flavor o

"Yeah," Liam chuckled. "I know it sounds silly. I was five years old, when I came here for the first time with my father and uncle. I was so fascinated by the cars that I wanted to drive like the others on the track. When I asked my father if I could, he obviously said no...""I started throwing a tantrum, and despite my uncle and father tried to consoling me but after some time my father got irritated and scolded me. It was the first time he'd ever scolded me, and I was overwhelmed with sadness and anger, so I just dashed into the woods.""I don't know for how long I was in there, I just ran and ran, and then when I finally got tired, I stopped and sat on a rock. I realized that I was lost. I did not know what to do or where to go, so I just started roaming around the woods to find my way out.""Wow... you were really brave for a five-year-old, not sitting in the corner and crying when you got lost in the woods," Lea commented."If you say so," Liam replied with a small laugh."So the

Back to the Present"I did not understand his words about the lap timings and all then, but I remembered every word he had told me. After a few years as I grew up, all he had said started to make sense, and I worked hard every day towards it until I achieved it three years ago," Liam said."Then your uncle must be really proud of you, right?" Lea asked.After a few seconds of silence, Liam said, "He would have been if he could see me now, but…""What happened, Liam?" Lea asked."A few years ago, he met with an accident, and since then, he has been in a coma. All the doctors have given up hope of him waking up," Liam said."I... I am sorry... I didn't know," Lea stammered, hearing the information shared with her."It's okay, it is all in the past now. Don't burden yourself with this. I just got a bit emotional coming back to this place," Liam comforted Lea.Lea gave him a reassuring smile in return.Lea did not k

Alisha processed the information quickly “Then we should regroup with them before we make any further plans. If they succeed in making an antidote, we’ll need it.”Theo, still trying to avoid Daniel’s wrath, clapped his hands together “Great! A rescue mission, sounds fun.”Daniel shot him a look, making Theo shrink back slightly.Elena ignored the tension for the time being “That’s a good idea but before deciding on that, did you guys find anything in the place Theo mentioned about earlier?”Liam turned to her as he calmly explained “We went to the place Theo mentioned and indeed found a hidden chamber there but it was empty.But based on the dusty footsteps on the floor and the space in the chamber its clear that at least a hundred plus people were staying there.Probably that is where Tressa was hiding her people before the attack.”“So it’s of no use?&rdq

As soon as Liam stepped inside the hidden chamber without thinking much Elena rushed forward throwing herself into Liam’s arms. Her fingers clutched the back of his purple cloak as she felt his heartbeat against hers. Relief crashed over her like a tidal wave, and for a brief moment, nothing else mattered.Liam hesitated for only a second before wrapping his arms around her, holding her tightly. His body was tense, but she could feel his heartbeat settle as he exhaled, resting his chin briefly atop her head."You’re okay," she whispered, as if saying it would make it more real."I'm okay," he murmured back, voice low "You're safe, too."Once she relaxed into his arms, she felt a heavy gaze on herself. Something cold coiled in her stomach, a deep-rooted fear that had nothing to do with the enemies outside.She slowly lifted her head to look over Liam’s shoulders— and her blood ran cold as she locked eyes w

On Daniel’s side…He moved swiftly through the corridors, his steps precise as he led the guards away. He could hear the clanking of armour behind him, their pace quickening as they followed the sound of his retreat.“Good. Keep following me” He thought to himself with a victory smile on his face.As he turned another sharp corner he came face to face with another pair of Gantric Knights. The two guards barely had time to react before Daniel struck.His sword slashed through the air, knocking the weapon from the first guard’s hand before driving the hilt into the man’s stomach. The soldier gasped, doubling over.The second guard lunged with a spear.Daniel twisted out of the way, his footwork smooth as he sidestepped the attack. In one swift motion, he caught the shaft of the spear, yanked the guard forward, and elbowed him in the face. The man stumbled, blood dripping from his nose.Then he gather

As they moved through the corridors Master Yi started coughing hardly and as he removed his hand covering his mouth, it was covered in blood.“Am I poisoned as well?” Master Yi muttered to himself.“Did you have dinner at the palace last night?” Daniel asked to which Master Yi nodded “Then you are poisoned as I over heard downstairs that person poisoned the food that was to be served for dinner.”“If that’s true how am I still fine?” Lily asked.“How would I know probably you did not eat the poisoned food” Daniel said.Ignoring the two of them Master Yi spoke “If I am really poisoned, I need to get to my lab as soon as possible before the poison in my body acts up more.”Lily glanced at Master Yi, concern flickering in her gaze, Master Yi was right—if the poison spread further, he might not last long enough to create the antidote. Then she turned to Alina who

Elena leaned her head on the wall behind her as she closed her eyes to calm her mind “I have decided to tell him my truth after this situation is sorted out.”Theo’s eyes went wide in surprise as he looked at his stubborn friend “What did you just say?”Elena opened her eyes and turned to look Theo directly in the eye “You heard me right, I will let him know about my true identity and let him decide how we handle this” Elena leaned her head back again on the wall “Especially after what happened yesterday I don’t think I can forget this relationship and move on or see him with someone else.”Theodore was silent for a moment, watching her closely as if trying to gauge whether she was serious or not. Then, he let out a low chuckle, shaking his head.“Well, well,” he mused, “I never thought I’d hear you say that.”Elena exhaled sharply her gaze still fixed on the

Elena narrowed her eyes “You’re not going alone.”“I’ll be fine.”“No, you won’t,” she snapped.“Lea, please try to understand—” Liam started, his voice firm but edged with frustration.Elena didn’t let him finish “If you’re so insistent, then I’m coming with you.Liam turned to her, his expression hardening “Elena, no… it’s not up for discussion. Taking Kira or Alisha with me was one thing but taking you… NO… I can’t put your life in any kind of risk, please understand.”She lifted her chin defiantly “If you don’t take me with you, I’ll wait until you leave and follow you anyway.”Liam let out an exasperated breath. “You wouldn’t—”Elena’s glare was unwavering. “Try me.”Liam clenched his jaw. He knew her too well, if he left her behind now, she would absolutely sneak out after him and then he’d have to worry about her safety on top of everything else.Muttering a curse under his breath, he made one last attempt

Before he could completely finish his sentence Elena spoke up “We know, what I want to know is how did you get here in this condition.”“Yes” Liam added.But before Theo could answer Alisha spoke up “Guys let’s get to safety first, we can have these discussions there…. Those people from Gantric Knights can come here at any moment.”“Gantric Knights?” Theo asked confused.“It’s a long story, let’s get out of here first” Alisha said as she signalled Liam to help Theodore up.Theodore nodded in understanding as Liam bent down, gripping Theodore’s arm firmly and pulling him up with ease. Theodore let out a grunt, his body still weak from the lingering effects of the poison, but he didn’t resist.“Let’s move,” Liam muttered, adjusting Theodore’s weight to support him better.They moved as swiftly as they could, keeping t

Meanwhile on the other side…The sound of heavy boots echoed through the grand hallways of the palace as the Gantric Knights moved in calculated formation. Clad in black cloaks with their weapons drawn, they systematically searched every room, their sharp eyes scanning for any sign of resistance.One knight pushed open a wooden door forcefully, revealing nothing but an empty guest chamber. He exchanged glances with another soldier before shaking his head “Nothing here.”Another group of knights stormed into a different room, only to find two trembling palace maids huddled in a corner. One of them let out a small gasp as a knight stepped toward them, his blade glinting under the dim torchlight.“You two,” he barked “Where is everyone?”The maids, their hands clutching their aprons shook their heads furiously “W…We don’t know!
