2022-04-03 09:01:09KAIST:
Upon learning that our guest have regained consciousness, Dahlia and I went back inside Sir Morland’s abode to hear his story.
I remember Sir Casior Willfrey from when I was young. He was always part of the peace talk council that met with my father.
To think that he was someone very close to Livia, that he had known my sister and brother all along while I remained ignorant of their existence for the past nineteen years made my heart even sadder.
When we got there, Sir Casior was being propped by Sir Morland into a semi-sitting position. He was sweating a lot. He didn’t seem to look like the haughty and elegant knight that he was from the my memory.
“I greet the sun of Talandor, Prince Kaist,” he said, bowing down formally at me.
“Sir Casior, I don’t know if you are already aware, but Prince Kaist is Livia’s twin brother. He is worried about her and our mother… Can you also tell them wh

KAIST: “Wait, your majesty, shouldn’t you first talk this out with us,” Tristan Abell said. “There’s no need to talk about this. I’ve made my decision,” I answered. I still hadn’t fully accepted the fact that this man might be my brother. My hate for him and what he did to Dahlia and I still loomed fresh in my heart. “Your majesty, Tristan is right… Please reconsider it,” Dahlia said, holding me gently by the arm. “What is there to talk about?” Does Dahlia not know what the Apricus king and Count Jeteris demand me to do? Does she not realize her life is at risk? “Prince Kaist, Livia is also my sister. I have the right to discuss what needs to be done in order to rescue her!” I finally snapped. “And what do you propose to do? Do you want to take Dahlia to them?” “That’s not what I am saying. If we could extract the spirit stone from Dahlia, we could just give the stone to them. There’s no need to give Dahlia in e

DAHLIA:I could only blink after hearing Kaist’s words.My father is coming to meet me tonight. Why was it so soon?“Then I will be leaving Camdress very soon?”“Yes... A little later, when everyone is asleep.”So this was Kaist’s grand plan? He was willing to wage war for me, but he wanted me to escape from here and come safely back to the Capital.I couldn’t hold my opposing thoughts at bay anymore.“This is… Isn’t this just plain cowardice, your highness?”Kaist only peered at me with a plain look in his eyes. “I guess so.”“Is that it? Is that all you’ve got to say? You are determined to make the people here prepare for battle while you plan for me to escape? Is that even fair?”“Dahlia, tell me what’s more unfair… I had lost my father during this journey. Everything shifted away from me... The o

DAHLIA:It was a long shot plan, but I was desperate…“Alright, Dahlly. Let’s take a walk.”It was a breezy night, and the full moon perfectly illuminated the path near the town walls that we took.“I remember you used to like taking long evening walks,” Kaist remarked. We had stayed silent since I had asked him to walk with me. Perhaps he too was having a hard time parting with me today.“That’s right. Walking clears my head. It seemed like my troubles would disappear when I take a long leisurely walk like this. But Kaist, didn’t you also like walking?”“Umm, yes and no…”“Yes and no? What do you mean?”“I only liked taking walks because you loved it, and I always wanted to be the one who walks beside you when you’re sad…”I had almost forgotten Kaist’s confession about feeling the fated mate bond b

DAHLIA:Our fated mate bond was still working. I could sense Tristan near me despite not seeing where he actually was.He must have used his Shadow Rune magic to stay invisible. I’m glad too that he was there. Finding him now would be the least of my worries.It looked like he was utterly confused when I put Kaist to sleep. I immediately told him my proposition.“The red ruby – I have it. If you take me to Laudicia on the appointed time, we can stop this war.”His eyes went round with surprise, and then shortly after, it slated into suspicion.“What do you mean, Samalah? How did you get the red ruby from Dahlly?”“It doesn’t matter,” I said, dismissing Tristan’s idea. I did not have time to invent an alibi anyway. “The important thing is I got it, and if we can deliver it to the Apricus king, we can stop this madness.”“But this is not madness! Kaist

TRISTAN:I looked at Samalah’s eyes as it rounded in fear. This wasn’t like her… The Samalah I knew didn’t show fear in this manner…So, who was this? Who was this new person before me?Yesterday, as Sir Casion confessed everything he had been through and the reason why I was able to find him in the forest, it occurred to me that our enemies had always been one step ahead of us.Count Jeteris knew that Kaist would be led to Laudicia in pursuit of his family, and the Blasted Ones must have had a strong hunch that Dahli and I would be journeying to the plains of Laudicia to extract the spirit stone from her.So in essence, everything felt a little bit premeditated…I looked at Samalah at that point – the only person capable of creating a grand scheme like this. She wanted everything in Talandor to fall down into ruins even at the expense of bringing harm to Dahlia…She would be the per

DAHLIA:Of all the times he would ask for the truth, I didn’t know why Tristan was picking this moment…I wanted to go to Laudicia. No, I needed to go to Laudicia. I cannot come back to Camdress and ask someone else to help me go there lest I encounter papa, and he’d recognize me…I have no other choice but to enlist Tristan’s help to get there.So now, I had no choice but to hide the truth from him too… And yet, despite my dilemma, why was my heart yearning for him to recognize me?“If I… If I tell you I’m not who you think I am, would you believe me? If I tell you I’m really not Samalah, would you take me for a fool or believe my words wholeheartedly,” I blundered even before I could stop myself.His eyebrows shot up in curiosity. “So who are you? If you are not Samalah then who are you?”Sweat began to pour down generously on my back once more…

TRISTAN:“What kind of question is that?”I had known Samalah since we were children. We grew up together. How can she ask me such a silly question?“I know you did… You had only come to like me based on what you see, right?... You haven’t given much thought about liking me for me…”Samalah… Wasn’t she the one who told me I shouldn’t like her? She said she’d never like me back, and that love is nothing but a silly, fleeting illusion… She told me that our bodies are only meant for pleasure and nothing more…Seeing her cry like this, I couldn’t tell her to recall all those things that she had said.Actually, she had been breaking the rules she had set upon herself as of lately, and this included raising a child.She had a very hard childhood, and the real reason she studied potions and spells was to make sure she never conceived a child.Sama

DAHLIA:Finally, the day for my death has come.I watched the sunrise this morning, and although I initially thought I’d feel depressed since this might be the last time I’d see the morning sun, I was more than energized.I used to stay up until morning making love with Tristan, but today, I stayed up with him just talking about the deeper reflections on our hearts.Despite being in Samalah’s body, I was able to understand the depth of Tristan’s feelings for me. Even though this might be the last time I can be with Tristan, I felt my spirit getting lifted up.It also seemed that the relationship between the real Samalah and Tristan were not bad. Perhaps, even if I disappeared, they’d be able to live with each other well.The only thing that I was worried about now was our baby…My child’s survival will dependend on my own survival today.

Revenge of The Shadow Heir Author's Notes
Hello! Thank you so much for coming to this journey with me in Revenge of The Shadow Heir! I started this story with a completely different story arc in mind, and I can't believe I've already reached the end of Dahlia and Tristan's love story. I dedicate this novel to the person who inspired me to take on writing again (and write romance stories, which wasn't really the genre I honestly saw myself writing).Here's to more meaningful memories together, sweetie! :). And to all those who have ever dreamed of being a writer or of being anything else - chase that dream! You were made to lust after it for a purpose. Glory to God always! I might take some hiatus after this story, but I assure you this won't be the last I will write. Thanks a lot again, dearests, and happy reading! - Ellie Love -
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 181: End Of Our Story
DAHLIA:“Dahlia, I have confessed everything to you before. I don’t know how much you remember of it after your accident though, so I am sorry for hurting you again,” Tristan began.“It was true. I casted a spell that was why the mate mark appeared in your body after our first night together. I was sure you were not my mate, and I was not yours. I casted a different spell on myself a few years ago to suppress finding my own mate, so I was confident when I approached you.”“However, the more I stayed beside you, the surer I had become that you were my destined mate… There wasn’t any day that I didn’t regret doing that…”Tears flowed from both our eyes. I knew it from my memory. We did have this conversation before, but it was still heartbreaking to hear Tristan’s side of the story.“When you had switched appearances with Samalah, I was foolish enough not to recognize you
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 180: Awakened
DAHLIA: I was in a dark and suffocating place that I can’t even see my own hands and feet. I tried standing still, but nothing was happening, so I decided to move around. I started calling to my wolf. ‘Eva!’ Again, I shouted, ‘Eva!’ There was no answer. I was running wildly, or at least I thought I was. No one can say that this was all happening in my head. Goddess, I couldn’t even see if my body was still intact! I tried to touch my cheek just so I could verify I am still alive, still seeing, still feeling. The last thing I could honestly remember was King Helion Cosco drinking the blood off my neck. I felt around my neck. There weren’t any wounds of any form of punctures. Am I still existing in the real world, or is this all just a dying person’s dream? Just then, I heard an anguished voice. “Dahlia!” It was the voice I had longed to hear for a long time. “Tristan!” I started ru
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 179: Stay Away For Good
TRISTAN: Irvan, that scoundrel that caused Samalah to get into an accident and had caused Dahlia’s agony, was a conjurer! Perhaps that was why they had left the dead bodies here instead of burying or burning them. It wasn’t just for show after all. The animated bodies started to close in on us. I thought it would be easy to defeat them since they were dead. However, they have the faces of people whome we had once seen or knew… It was a bit fortunate that most of them were just people whom I have casually met at Talandor, but I could only imagine that this battle must be too hard for Kaist. As we tried to knock out the dead bodies, the dragon bones swoop down on us, trying to pick on the flesh on our back. Even without a rider, the dragon bones were agile. This was really a dangerous thing. I just finished hurling a corpse somewhere far away, when suddenly, I looked up to see a dragon bone aiming to pluck my eyes away. I
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 178: Beloved
TRISTAN: I galloped towards the edge of the plain leading to the Great Temple where I could smell my Dahlia’s scent. In the past, I had loved this walk from the forest towards the temple where my father would regularly burn an offering to the Moon Goddess Selene. Now, this same path was packed with vampires, attacking me from left and right. It was a hard fight. I felt like I was a bug trying to battle out hordes of ants to get to the other side. The more I stayed here, the more endangered Dahlia could become. Suddenly, I heard a voice roar. “Get down!” My instincts kicked in, and I followed it. As soon as I ducked down, bolts of fire started to rain down on my path, burning the Blasted Ones that crowded my way. I looked back sharply to discover a non-familiar wolf. It was golden brown with a stone in its head that shone like the midday sun. So this was how Kaist’s Shadow Rune wolf looked like. He must have already acce
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 177: Ritual By The Temple
DAHLIA: I rested my hope that if Count Jeteris himself or the people from Talandor could see me, they’d try to help me out. After all, I was someone they knew, someone who interacted with them, and someone they had sworn to protect as knights of Talandor. Surely, they wouldn’t let anyone from the Vampire Clan kill a she-wolf they had once known... But all those hopes were crushed when I saw what awaited us at the temple. The outer courts of the temple were nothing but mere rubbles of stones and sands now, but one could still gain the impression that it was a grand structure once. I had seen the tumbled-down appearance of the temple in a distance as King Helion dragged me to it, but as we entered its vicinity, I was shocked beyond belief. All around, corpses of werewolves lay lifelessly on the ground. “W-What did you do,” I asked in horror. “The foolish count wanted my help, but he didn’t agree with taking you as my queen, so…”
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 176: Plans and Intentions
TRISTAN: “Brother, look out!” I swerved to the right by mistake, which ended up being good as I had dodged a blow against my skull. Livia and I had been fighting against the Blasted Ones for hours now, but they do not seem to be depleting. How in the world can the Apricus King call in this many of his men? Worse of all, Livia’s state was getting worse and worse as time went by… I hate to admit it, but I don’t think I could last fighting against them for a long time too. I struggled to get on my feet, thinking of how wretched I was to have sent the one person I loved the most towards her death. Memories of when I first saw Dahlia flashed by my head as I attacked one vampire after another. Lady Dahlia Hurst – the gentle rose of the kingdom – the person people looked up to and envied… My first thought was that such a person would be nothing more than a spoiled brat. She had been under the spotlight since she was yo
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 175: Boulder
KAIST:It was a call to help Count Abell. Wolves from the White Fang Pack immediately tore their shirts and started transforming into their wolf form.“Prince Kaist, do you mean to say Tristan and Samalah… I mean Dahlia are in danger,” Thesla hurriedly asked.I nodded. “Yes. We will be going now. Get the women, children, elderly, and the sick inside the town hall. Bar the doors, and don’t let anyone inside the village. I will return here for the lady when everything is over,” I told the villagers.There was a murmur around the villagers.“Prince Kaist, I couldn’t speak for everyone, but I will come with you. Dahlia has become a friend and a family to Efiro and I. I don’t want to just sit and do nothing when I know she’s in danger!”“Very well.” I turned to the crowd. “Everyone who wishes to join us may come. As for the rest of you, please secure the village.
Revenge of The Shadow Heir Chapter 174: Rally Behind The Alpha
TRISTAN: “No, take her back! Give Dahlia back to us,” I shouted. The vampires around us poised themselves for an attack and smiled. They could sense the blood palpitating in my veins as I tensed up. They were getting excited on the prospect of violence as their true nature dictates. “Finders keepers” was all I heard from the damned king of the vampires. Maybe this was all a lie. Maybe the king of the Blasted Ones was toying with my sanity… How did I end up in this? Why did I give Dahlia to them? It felt like I was in a sort of reverie. Everything felt hazy. It was as if things were coming at me in slow motion. I could only watch as Dahlia’s golden brown hair billowed in the wind. King Helion towered over her. He clutched her by the wrist, and when she refused to tear her eyes away from me, he grappled at her shoulders and took her away more forcefully, twisting her face away from mine. I could only watch as trails of te
