Slave of the Raven Prince Maze
By the time Raphael came to Valerie's room, it was empty. The guards outside her room are oblivious to the fact that she is missing. Whoever it is, they know everything about the hidden doors inside the palace. "Shit" he cursed and pressed the wall beside her wardrobe. His fingers touched a movable brick. He pushed the brick inside and slowly the wall began to slide aside, opening a narrow tunnel, which is dark and cobwebs can be seen everywhere. But his senses are stronger than everyone, so he can see the pathway without any light. 'Valerie, are you alright?' he asked her as he made his way inside the hidden door. But she didn't reply, which made him worried. He ran through the narrow tunnel as fast as he could, but he is forced to stop when the tunnel split into three directions. He doesn't which direction the intruder has taken Valerie. But every second he is wasting here might cost her life. So he is forced to decide faster. He observed the three tunnels and choose the rig
Slave of the Raven Prince Closer
When she registered her surroundings, she sat up with a start. She remembered what had happened before she passed out. Before she could panic, she looked at Raphael with relief. "P..prince Raphael, he tried to take me into that tunnel. He was wearing a black mask and black clothes. He forced me to follow him by placing a knife at the base of my neck. I don't know what happened, but I began to feel dizzy before I entered that tunnel. I fainted and woke up here" she explained everything before he could ask her about what had happened. Raphael now recalled the single pair of footprints he saw in that room. She fainted and whoever came to kill her carried her here and left her to die. "Are you alright?" he asked her softly. Tentatively she touched her neck where her kidnapper made a nick. But surprisingly, she couldn't feel any wound or ruptured skin there. Only dry flakes of blood could be felt by her fingertips. "Strange" she murmured mostly to herself, which he heard. His gaze f

"For what?" he asked without looking at her.Valerie became sad, thinking that she is repulsing him."For dragging you into this. If not for me, then you wouldn't have been stuck here like this" she whispered while looking at her open palms.He is quiet for a moment."If i didn't bring you to the Raven palace, then you wouldn't have been in this situation, to begin with. I don't know why Cedric is doing all this when I clearly told him that you are innocent. But still, he is hell-bent on hurting you. I will deal with him after we figure out how to get out of here" he reasoned.She turned to look at him sadly. His earlier reaction is still fresh in her mind. She ran the scenario of never meeting Raphael or Irina in her life. She might have never known that he is a very good man. The thought of never crossing his path and lack of his intense attention over her made her feel strangely empty."If i never came here, then i would have missed the chance to meet the raven prince and her highn
Slave of the Raven Prince Escaped
"Prince Raphael, sunlight" Valerie pointed out. After what happened between them, an uncomfortable silence descended upon them. This is the first time she opened her mouth and spoke to him after an hour of silence. Valerie wants what he is giving her, and she is not looking for any kind of relationship either. But she doesn't know how to tell him that. She too feels the same kind of attraction toward him, as he feels for her. The thought of a man like him confessing about his feelings flattered her. Her stomach fluttered with butterflies. As they are still stuck in this room, slowly she began to feel uncomfortable as the oxygen supply began to deplete. Raphael is trying everything he can to get them out of there but to no avail. That's when she saw the sunlight. It is so faint and can easily go unnoticed in this dark room. But she saw it. "Sunlight? Where?" he asked her while looking around the small room. "There," she pointed near the high ceiling of the room. He followed her fin

Prince Raphael found her before I could " a man in the darkness told another person who is sitting in a chair. The person who is sitting already knows that much. "Useless, she was there to be taken away, but you couldn't even do that much. Cadmus will not be a problem now. But I want Valerie. The seal I placed on her powers is breaking. I can feel it. If that happens, we can never control her again. I want you to kidnap her as soon as you can. I have to place a new seal to keep her under our control" the person in the chair said angrily. "Yes, I understand. I tried to kidnap her when the Prince returned back to the palace. But she is not in her room. It's empty" the man shared. The person on the chair began to rock in his rocking chair. "I am sure Raphael must have hidden her somewhere. He is developing a close bond with her. But never mind. She will be back in our control soon. I heard
Slave of the Raven Prince Running

But there is no trace of her as if she vanished into thin air.He alerted Roland and sent a troop for Valerie. He just couldn't sit still when she might be suffering somewhere. Then, he remembered the house Valerie showed him. The house where she was kept a prisoner for years. He flew near that single isolated house in the middle of the forest. His dragon landed soundlessly on the ground in front of the house before he shifted back into his dragon form.The house is old as if no one touched it for years. Cobwebs, anthills, overgrown trees, and their hanging branches. Nothing about this place is telling him that someone could use it to lock up a girl out of her will.He walked inside and slowly took in the house, which has seen better days. The house is not big, but at the same time not so small either. It ha

Slave of the Raven Prince Evil in law
Raphael and his men together surrounded the dead army from all four directions. They start to burn the dead army with their dragon fire. As Irina is momentarily disoriented, the dead army stands still like statues, while their bodies are burned down to ashes. When Irina realized what was happening, she gained back the control she has on the dead people again. "You dumb idiots, attack" she screeched loudly. At once the dead army started charging toward the Raven palace again. As their bodies already started burning, they are now walking fireballs charging towards the Palace gates. At once the palace gates shook with the force of the dead army. It creaked loudly, protesting from the force with which the dead army was pushing at it and trying to breach the palace walls."Guards, shift and stop them from entering the palace. The gate will not hold that much force for longer. Barricade the gates with sandbags. Quick" Raphael instructed his men while he resumed burning their decayed bodie
Slave of the Raven Prince Loosing battle
"Your Highness, dead bodies are walking," he said in a rush. The guard is pale and looked scared. Raphael and Angoori ran outside and were shocked to see an army of dead and decaying people walking towards the Raven palace. Their bodies are muddy as if they just came from inside a grave. Bones can be seen in their half-decayed bodies. Most of them are just walking skeletons, and the rest are in the process of decaying. Irina is leading them in the front. She looked happy at herself. Raphael thought he was prepared to deal with anything Irina threw at them this time. But no amount of mental pep talk would have prepared him for this. 'How does anyone fight with already dead people?' he thought while taking in the walking dead steadily approaching the palace. The Raven guards look scared out of their minds. But the guards are trying to look brave and do their part by locking the tall wrought iron palace gates and positioning themselves to shield the entrance with weapons. That dead ar

You have to join your dear Father in heaven. You never really saw my true nature, Raphael. I only ever pampered you and hid my true self from you. I onl
Slave of the Raven Prince Analysis
Cadmus understood what Raphael meant by 'Our plan ' after half an hour. They are standing in the palace Courtyard and all the Raven guards are standing in front of them. Confusion is seen on their faces. It's almost midnight and a meeting with their king at this hour is not common. But Cadmus understood why Raphael is doing this now. Because they cannot afford to waste any time, especially when they don't know where Irina is and what she is planning. "You must be confused and thinking about why your new king wants to speak with you all at this hour. But I understood that this is the best time to speak about things that all of us want to hide from others" Raphael spoke.His words left everyone confused in the beginning, but then the men who are loyal to him understood where this was going.

Slave of the Raven Prince Rage
After her failed attempt to threaten her enemies, Irina left the Coronation party in a fit of murderous rage. "No, if they think that they can intimidate me, then they are dead wrong. Raphael might not know about me, but Arthur, how did you think that I would let you go so easily? We grew up together. You know how stubborn I am. If I set my eyes on something, then that should either belong to me, or it should be destroyed. Just like you. I wanted you, but you rejected me and married anesthesia. I thought of killing you, but that would be an easy punishment for you. I want you to suffer. And your suffering would only end on the day you die. Now, your daughter made a huge mistake by taking over my position as the Raven Queen. You made my son go against me. That is a sin deemed to be punished by death. Now she will die, and so will you.

She never thought that there would come a day when she might have to see her son laughing and chatting with the people she hates the most. What's worse is, he made her the worst enemy and made Arthur's daughter his Queen. "Hello Eugene" Irina greeted the Nester king. She intentionally skipped his title. This is the same way she used to address him when she used to stay in the Ernest clan. But after things turned bad between her and Arthur, she distanced herself from Eugene as well. Because she knows that he is loyal to Arthur.Eugene became stiff and so did the others. Raphael tightened his fists. Valerie's eyes flashed with anger.

Slave of the Raven Prince The power of gold dragon
