At this moment they heard Lea speak, "And have you both forgotten who I am brother? Trust me I am fine and as Dad said this might be an opportunity given by Hevens to change things around for good. We need to get rid of the differences between us before the war starts. If we are fighting among ourselves how will we fight the enemy?". Listening to her words both the Beaufort brothers went silent, after a few minutes Danil spoke defeatedly, "We know you are capable of handling all of this but we are worried because of your present condition. If something unexpected happens to you what will we do? We did not want to send you to the human world in the first place, we only agreed because you agreed to take William with you for your protection but still look at what happened. You were attacked by someone. Now you want to stay at Asterin whom we don't know to consider as an enemy or a friend and that too without anyone out there to protect you…". After a bit more convincing the
Lea and Alisha joyfully talked about any random things they could think of like old friends who met after a long time. By the time they realized, the sun was setting outside. "God we have been talking for so long," Alisha commented looking at the sky outside the window. "Yes, even I did not realize that it's been so long" Lea also added. "So Elle if you are feeling better tomorrow let's go shopping as it does not sound appropriate to go back to the human world just to get clothes or to ask uncle to send it" Alisha suggested. "If that's fine with you I have no issues" Lea agreed happily. "Then it's set," Alisha said happily. Just then they heard a familiar voice ask "What is set?". As both the girls turned their heads toward the voice, they saw Liam walking through the door with Allen by his side. "What are you doing here?". "I came to give Lea the mobile so that she could contact her family" Liam answered as he waved the phone in front of Alisha and then questioned her
The room allocated to Lea was spacious with an open balcony, a sitting area, and an attached bathroom with a walk-in closet. The bed in the center of the room was on an elevated platform which was surrounded by the pond on three sides and there were steps on one side to climb to the bead. Cute golden fishes were floating in the pond. And the green wines acted as a decoration on the balcony walls. The ceiling was painted with a dragon flying in circles and the room was painted in pastel colour. The pillars had huge white curtains which acted as a divider between the sitting area and the bedroom and in the sitting area, there was a fireplace opposite the chairs and table giving a warm vibe. Looking at the room Lea was mesmerised. "I hope the room is to your liking young miss". "It's really beautiful Allen, I really like it" Listening to Lea's reply Allen gave a small smile and then continued "There are some fresh sets of clothes and toiletries in the closet. If you need
"Yes, it is very nice" Lea answered with a smile on her face. At this moment Alisha chimed in "Don't go by her innocent face Lea, she is one naughty prankster who always drives me and Mom crazy". Alina raised her head towards her sister with a look of being wronged on her face and angrily said "Big sis don't slander me". "What am I speaking something wrong?" "Yes, you are… when have I ever troubled anyone for no reason?" "Ho… then what about the time when you spilled that hot glue on Kira's hair due to which she had to chop her long hair?" "That was by mistake…" Alina answered as she lowered her head. "Really?..." Alisha asked staring at her sister's bent head intently. Not being able to take the pressure of her sister's stare Alina spoke up "Fine… I did it to save you" This time Alisha was confused by her answer "For me?" "Yes, that evil b*tch had…" "Language Alina," Alisha said angrily. "Sorry… that Kira had planned to spill the hot glue on your head to take
"I want you to find out some info about a person" Hearing Elena's serious voice Mimi asked "Who offended you this time boss?" "No one offended me it's just my sixth sense is telling me that they might cause me trouble in the future so just want to be prepared". "Ho, okay… so who are they?" "Tressa and Kira… they used to be in my class when I was in the human world" "Boss you want me to find information about humans?" "I don't think they they are humans… they must be from our world" "Okay boss, I will look into it and update you". After giving the orders Lea hung up the call and sat down on the chair in the sitting area deep in thought. She still remembered the way Tressa spoke to her at the car race and Alina also mentioned Kira while speaking a few minutes ago it cannot be a coincidence. If they were just human it would be fine but if they are part of the dragon world they can cause some trouble. And that attack… it is not easy for someone to find out my identit
Looking at Alina's way of addressing Lea, Ria was shocked for a second, and then quickly composing herself she spoke with a smile "Seems like you two have already met, she must really like you to be acting the way she is". Lea answered with a smile "Yes, I met her yesterday, She is a really cute little girl". "You don't know her Lea, though she looks very innocent and cute she is a really intelligent girl, she does not get close to everyone so easily" Lea turned her head towards Ria as she listened to her words and then turned towards the young girl. As they reached Alina's table they heard a bark near their leg, Misty was waging its tail happily looking at Lea. Lea bent down bent down and petted it "Our cute Misty is here as well". Ria also asked with stars shining in her eyes "Wow Alina, when did you get a pet?". Alina also felt happy and proud looking at the way Ria was looking at her pet "Grandma gifted her to me for being a good girl during my stay at her place, sis
People stood holding on to whatever they could find and the soldiers prepared themselves ready to attack. "Hold back, do not attack until you receive my command" Elizabeth spoke through the spiritual link to all the soldiers as she looked intently at the dragon in the sky. At this moment the dragon flying in the air turned into a streak of golden light and descended on the ground. The light was so bright that everyone closed their eyes for a few seconds. Once the light dimmed everyone saw a young girl in a white robe and green eyes standing in the place where the dragon descended previously. The young girl looked around as if searching for someone when she heard someone ask "Who are you and what is the purpose of your visit?". The young girl looked at the young man standing in front of her on full guard and asked him calmly "Who am I speaking to here?" "I am the Command in chief of Asterin army, Augustus" "Rigid…" "Excuse me?" "Can I speak to your king or queen? Someone
"You…" The minister who wanted to speak was stopped by Elizabeth as she asked "So why are you here?" "Your Majesty, I came here following my master's aura, she is somewhere here but I don't know where". "So what help do you need from me?" "Your Majesty, as this is your territory wandering around without your permission is not right so I wanted to ask for your permission to stay here for a few days and search for my master" "You want to stay here? How bold of you to make such a request to the queen you beast" the minister who spoke previously spoke again. Sapphire furred her eyebrows annoyed at the minister's words but then getting a hold of herself she turned to Elizabeth ignoring the minister and said, "Your Majesty is this the way people in your kingdom speak to the familiar of the only student of master Kai Von?" "You are Shadow's familiar?" the minister exclaimed in shock. "Yes," Sapphire answered with a calm face. "Excuse his impudence Sapphire, you can stay here for how
As they moved through the corridors, nearing the location of the secret chamber, they heard familiar voice calling out to them—“I know you’re here somewhere and can listen to me Alisha... come out now, or your precious sister dies here even before the poison in her body kills her today.”Alisha’s heart clenched as they all stopped in their tracks, pressing against the stone walls. Carefully, she peeked over the stone railing that overlooked the main hall below.There, standing at the centre of the hall, was Tressa, her cold gaze sweeping the area. And in her grasp—Alina.“And yes you coming here alone is not going to free your sister, bring you friends that Bit*h Lea and Liam as well” Tressa spoke up again as an evil smile creped-up on her face.Elena sucked in a quiet breath beside Alisha as she looked at Alina barely clung to consciousness, her body limp as Tressa held her upright. A sharp blade pressed against her neck and a
On Daniel and Alisha’s side…The journey to where Daniel had last left Master Yi and the others was not so smooth for the group. Due to the battle Daniel had before he met Alisha and the others the enemies were alerted and a small group of them were still searching for them in the corridors.They moved in silence, each of them on high alert. The further they went, the heavier the air felt, as if some unseen force was warning them that something was terribly wrong.Alisha gripped her weapon tightly, her steps quickening. The uneasy feeling clawed at her chest.Daniel was ahead of the group, leading them through the winding corridors with sharp precision. His golden eyes remained fixed ahead, unreadable, but there was a stiffness in his posture—one that only someone paying close attention would notice.Elena felt it too. She glanced at Alisha, but neither of them spoke.Then they turned the last corner and reached the lab bu
Liam and Theo soon reached the secret chamber, inside the air was thick with dust, the scent of old stone and damp earth clinging to every breath Liam and Theo took. The faint torchlight cast long shadows on the walls, making the abandoned space feel even more desolate.Liam walked up to the far end of the chamber where her had found the hidden door to the passage way.He climbed the stairs until he reached the dead-end and then crouched down running his fingers along the rough stone surface, searching for the mechanism to open the hidden passage’s entrance.Theo stood behind him, arms crossed tightly over his chest “You know, this place has ‘bad idea’ written all over it. Just putting that out there.”Liam didn’t look back. “Noted.”With a soft click, the wall shifted slightly as Liam pressed against a loose brick. A narrow gap appeared, revealing the entrance to the underground passage. A gust of co
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
