At the same time in Tressa’s room she was speaking on the phone with someone standing on the balcony.
“You bit*h you dare to call me now after all that we had to go through because of you?” the person on the other side of the line said angrily. “I know what you went through was really bad and I did not accept them to react that way for that human” Tressa said trying to calm down the other person. “Hahaha…” The person on the other side of the line gave out a sarcastic laugh “You did not expect?... fine I will understand that but this question for me, why did you not receive our calls when we were trying to contact you for help?” Tressa balled her fists and closed her eyes as she took in a deep breath to calm herself down. “Speak up you bit*h” the person on the other line roared angrily after not hearing any answer from the other side. Listing to this the anger Tressa was trying to tame broke out of her control as she spoke, “I could not contact you because that damned mother of mine had ordered to intercept everyones phone call after those people brought that girl to our world. And what does the Phantoms attack on you have to do with me ha? It's not like they attacked you for the sake of that human girl” The person on the other line gritted his teeth “That does that attack have to do with you?... Are you serious? I don’t know who that girl is but those grim rippers specifically made it clear that the attack we faced was the karma we bought upon ourselves by attacking that girl. In just one night I, the young master of the Knights of Gantrick who has lived in luxury since the day I was born, have been thrown in dirt hiding from the world. Now tell me how do I deal with you, the reason why we have to face this fath”. Tressa took in a deep breath as she said “Join hands with me Silva”. “What?... Hahaha…” Silva exclaimed first then started laughing like a madman “Seems like you have lost your mind completely”. Tressa spoke in a calm tone “It’s not just you who was hurt by that Lea, I was thrown like garbage by the person I have loved since I was a child and was treated like dirt in the place I had considered my home”. “Serves you right… Karma really bites back” Silva said as he snorted. “What do I deserve?” Tressa got angry again “To be reminded that I am a charity case at every chance they get? Or to be treated like shit by the man I have loved since I was a child?” “How did you treat my brother when he said he loved you all those years before? Did even a little bit of care develop in you for him after how my family has helped you all these years just for him?” Silva retorted. “Silva I have always been clear since the start and I have told your brother I don’t love him and only see him as a good friend and he understood that” “Yes he understood that that is why he and my whole family is dead now” After a few minutes of silence Tressa spoke in a guilty tone “I am sorry… I never expected things to become like this. I am really sorry”. “What does that sorry count for now? It's not like it can bring back the people I lost” “Yes it can’t bring them back but if you can forgive me and join hands with me we can get our revenge and build back the Knights of Gantrick that has fallen. This time we can be more powerful and more strong, that no one can bring us down”. “What are you saying?”“What does that sorry count for now? It's not like it can bring back the people I lost” “Yes it can’t bring them back but if you can forgive me and join hands with me we can get our revenge and build back the Knights of Gantrick that has fallen. This time we can be more powerful and more strong, that no one can bring us down”. “What are you saying?” “I will help you take over Asterin by killing the queen and we can rule over this kingdom together and once we have Asterin in our palms it’s not so difficult to track down those phantoms and get our revenge”. “Hahahaha…” Silva started laughing uncontrollably “You have lost it… Hahaha… you have lost your mind completely. You want to take over a kingdom with the help of the handful of people I have under me? You want me to lead the few who survived to their death bead to fulfill your fantasy like that fool brother of mine?” “No one is going to die, listen to my plan first and then come to a conclusion. Okay?” Listening to the confide
Back at the Place the sun was setting as Elena stood outside at the entrance of the palace waving bye to her friends who were flying away on their dragons. Elizabeth came and stood next her looking at the group flying away as she asked “I have sent them away as you requested, when do you plan to go?”. A few hours before… “Is Aunt Beth in her office uncle Allen?” Elena asked Allen who coincidentally came near Elizabeth’s office at the same time as her. Allen smiled as he replied “Yes princess, Her Majesty is in the office only, please come in with me” as he knocked on the door to the office. They soon received a reply “Come in” as both of them walked inside the office. “Elena?” Elizabeth looked at her confused a little but still asked in a calm tone with a smile on her face “What brings you here, Is there some problem?”. Elena smiled a bit tensed as she nodded “Yes Aunty”. Elizabeth got up from her chair behind the desk and came to where Elena was standing as she placed
The war was over, and the acrid smell of blood filled the air. Bodies of soldiers and the ashes of the dead were scattered across the battlefield. Queen Zenobia stood at the center, her gaze fixed on the tomb of the evil lord Kal, the architect of this catastrophe.Her body was covered with wounds, but she felt no physical pain—the ache in her heart eclipsed all else. In this battle, she had lost everything. Her family, her loved ones, and countless brave warriors had sacrificed their lives. Innocent citizens had been slaughtered. The once vibrant city, once a heaven on earth, had been reduced to a graveyard by one man's insatiable lust for power.Fresh blood still dripped from the sword in Queen Zenobia's hand as she stared at the tomb. Around her, people mourned their lost loved ones, yet there was a bittersweet relief that the war had ended. Only Zenobia knew this was not the end but a brief pause. She had sealed Kal in the tomb for now, but it was not permanent. She had to prepare
The Next Day at Princeton University....The campus was bustling with energy. It was the start of a new year, and many new faces, filled with enthusiasm or nervousness, were entering the college gates. Colorful decorations adorned the grounds to welcome the newcomers.Vickey, Jude, Lily, Alex, and Jenny sat on the lawn near the parking lot, where they had a clear view of everyone arriving. Jenny and Jude were having fun teasing some freshers, while Vickey was busy checking out the new girls."Dude, I am so disappointed. I can't find a single good-looking face this year. All the pretty and sexy girls are taken even before coming to college. This is the worst thing ever. Why does this happen to me? Do you think I might be cursed or something?" Vickey complained.Smack!"Will you stop doing that every time? That really hurts," Vickey said, rubbing his arm."I can't help it. It's the only way to discipline you. Stop your nonsense about girls and do something useful," Lily retorted."That'
On the Other Side...As Liam took his seat in class, Rayan leaned over and asked, "She still hasn't stopped bothering you?""No, man, it's such a pain in the ass. I can't even do anything about it without hurting Aunt Elizabeth. I've lost count of the number of times I've rejected her advances. I can't even have a few peaceful days at home," Liam said, massaging his forehead to relieve the tension.Rayan patted his friend's shoulder, trying to ease his irritation.Their conversation was cut short as the professor entered the classroom.Meanwhile, outside, a Lamborghini Veneno sped through the university gates at lightning speed, captivating everyone with the driver's skillful handling. When the car came to a stop in the parking lot, a stunning girl with deep blue eyes and straight chocolate brown hair emerged.She stood at 5'8" and wore a white knee-length one-piece dress paired with simple stilettos and a brown leather bag from Guess. Her outfit perfectly complemented her fair skin,
"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 searchi
The next day at Princeton University..."God, my head hurts so much it feels like it's going to bust open any moment," Jenny groaned."It's not just you. We're all in the same position," Jude said, resting his head on the desk."We shouldn't have drunk so much," Ria said, massaging her forehead.As everyone kept complaining about their hangovers, the professor walked in and started taking attendance.Just as the professor finished and was about to start the lecture, there was a knock on the door."You're late," the professor said."Sorry, sir, I just joined and lost my way trying to find the class," a melodious voice reached everyone's ears as a girl apologized."A new joiner in the final term? Come in. What's your name?" the professor asked, taking the admission slip from her to confirm her claim."It's Leona Andreese, sir," she said. "We just moved back to the country due to my brother's work, hence the change in university.""Okay, take a seat next to Rhianna there," the professor
"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

"Master there is a small issue but I don't know if it's something to be worried about or not so I called you" Master Kai became instantly alert and asked in a serious tone, "What happened, dear?" "This morning, after I woke up, I saw a streak of hair had turned back to golden, which means my power is coming back. But it is too early this time compared to previous occasions and your estimated time. Will everything be okay, Master, or is the seal broken somehow?" Master Kai thought for some time and then instead of answering asked her a question "Why do you think it's broken? Did something happen recently?" "Elle, what happened?" "I... I was…" Elena stammered "I was attacked by the Knights of Gantrick recently… and I was poisoned by dragon poison during this attack." "What? How dare they lay hands on my only disciple?" Master Kai Von exclaimed, completely angered. Listening to the anger in his voice Elena continued in a meek voice "And I think my powers forced itself to break the
"Thinking over what you said, it does sound like there's some truth to your words. But didn't Master Yi say that he checked Lea by inserting his spiritual energy into her body and didn't find any trace of power?""He did, and I also checked myself without alerting Lea but didn't find any traces of power inside her. That's why I've been cooped up in the library for the past few days, trying to find if there are any artifacts or spells that can block detection when checked with spiritual energy, but I haven't found anything yet." "You should have spoken to Sharen, she knows more about artifacts than anyone else among us.""I did try, but she's been busy with something these past few days. I can hardly see her or Alex in the palace.""Yeah, that's true. Even I noticed. I don't know what those two are up to these days. Anyway, don't worry, we'll figure out something," Rayan said, patting Liam's shoulder. Then, after a moment, he added, "By the way, what's happening between you and Lea th
A few days pass by just like that and then a week later…Liam was standing on a balcony, gazing at the town outside the palace gates, when someone walked in his direction. Turning his head, he saw Rayan approaching."What are you doing here?" Rayan asked, stopping next to him."Just sorting out a few things in my mind... Anyway, what brings you here?" Liam replied, turning back to the scenery below."I was on a call with Peter. He said you asked him to find someone.""So that lazy head is complaining to you instead of doing his work?" Liam said as he walked to a nearby chair and settled down in a carefree manner.Rayan sighed, moving to the empty chair opposite Liam. "He didn't complain but was scared to speak to you since he couldn't find anything about that person even after searching for a week now."Liam let out a deep breath and shook his head lightly. "Expected. How could it be so easy...""But why did you ask him to check regarding Master Kai Von's disciple all of a sudden? Did
Liam, who was walking with Lea to the dining hall, suddenly stopped. He pulled Lea into an embrace and leaned against a pillar."What are you doing? What if someone sees us?" Lea asked, agitated, looking around to check if anyone was coming."Don't worry, not too many people use this route as this route is longer compared to the other one."Lea sighed in relief and then looked at him. "Then why did you take this path?""Because I couldn't take any more of your staring. Now, tell me what's on your mind?" Liam asked, brushing back a loose lock of hair from Lea's face.Lea sighed, a bit embarrassed at being caught. "I... I never knew you had this side to you. It felt really good to be protected like that. Though my father and brothers always stand like a protective barrier around me, what you did today felt different. I don't know how to explain it."A smile bloomed on Liam's face. He bent his head and gave a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I promise I will always protect you, whether we'r
Everyone was stunned. Tressa, one of the kingdom's best in sword fighting, had delivered a powerful strike, yet Lea had blocked it as if it were nothing."Come on, sister Lea, you can do it!" Alina's cheer broke the silence.The crowd's eyes lit up with excitement. "This match is going to be interesting," they thought. "This human is not so bad…"Alisha smiled at Tressa's state and cheered with Alina, "Come on, Lea, you can do it!" The rest of the group joined in, while Kira and a few other lackeys stood there with dark expressions.Furious, Tressa stood up and dashed toward Lea again. Her attacks grew stronger, but Lea blocked each one with ease. This continued for the next twenty minutes—Tressa attacking and Lea defending.By the end, Tressa's body was covered in cuts and bruises, while Lea stood unscathed."Dude this girl is a monster… how can she overpower a dragon warrior so easily, did she go through such rigorous training to attain this level of perfection?" David said to Tim,
Alina looked back. "I don't know… come on, let's ask someone."They reached the corridor and stopped a dragon warrior who was heading to the west wing. "Where is everyone going in such a hurry?""Little princess, you don't know?" Alina furrowed her eyebrows.Seeing this, the dragon warrior cleared his throat and explained, "Princess Tressa and that human girl are having a sword fight in the training room. We're all going to watch as we've never seen a human fight before, and we're curious about their skills."Once the dragon warrior shared this information, Alina let him go and turned to Sapphire. "This evil sister of mine is surely doing this to bully sister Lea. Please help her, sister Sapphire.""How can I help with this?" Sapphire asked, puzzled."You can… If I speak up, they'll silence me because I'm still young. But you know Master Kai Von, my evil sister has to listen to you." Looking at Sapphire still standing silently Alina added."You don't understand, sister Sapphire. That
