August's POVIt's been two days and I do nothing but stare aimlessly. I learned two things. Don't love. Do not trust. All I wish right now is to gain back my old self. The me that has no feelings. The me that doesn't care. I already stopped crying. It felt like the load had been lifted. Yes, I'm sad but not like before when I felt like I was going to die of pain.Gen did not fail to visit me. According to her, she made an excuse to my professors. The team is looking for me but Gen did not give any word on my whereabouts. I know I might be crazy but I can't help thinking if Cayden is looking for me. Is he? I guess not, because this is what he wants. I decided to move on. I decided to look for answers. I wanted to go back to earth.I stood up and went to my closet. I wore just walking pants and a t-shirt. I will go to the town and look for ways to open the portal by doing it legally or not.I left Pearl with her nanny. She did not insist on going with me. I noticed that she understood m
Chapter 46I'm still in awe of Cayden to this day. Others are ignorant of the truth. Except for Lucas and me. I can't help but tell him because he is also August's friend. That's why Lucas also got angry but it's not like me who would fight with Cayden because of anger. It still acts normal. It's not like I'm abnormal anymore."Is August still not coming back?" Lucas asked me.I just shrugged. I don't know if August will come back or if he will continue not coming in. We all know that he was forced to enter the Academy because of the King. I have a strong hunch that it is looking for a way to return to earth. I'm afraid that if it finds a way, it will be gone forever."I don't know Luke, because he's your cousin, it's good to eat." I'm disgusted, I promise.I don't know what Cayden's trip is. I know very well that he loves August very much so I wonder how he could say that. If I had heard that, I would have laughed a lot because what he said would look like a joke because I know the t
August's POV I woke up early so I took a shower right away. I don't know where to leave Pearl. There is no nanny here because the person watching over here is on the way and they didn't find a replacement right away because my return was sudden. So I'll just take Pearl with me. The teachers and headmaster know who Pearl is so they can't stop her.We ate in the dorm first and left early. It hasn't been circulated throughout the academy yet, so I intend to circulate it before class starts."That is the Celestial Circle," I told Pearl who was now looking at the CC building."Big," Pearl commented."Yes. It's big." I agree but the Knight Circle building is bigger. "Let's go, I'll show you the garden," I promised Pearl and held her small hands again, and walked. It's not loading now.We didn't walk far and we reached the Garden. Some bushes are shaped like yin-yang and inside them are tulips of various colors. There are lady's breaths there, red and white roses. There are still flowers th
August's POVI just shook my head at Lucas. It did nothing all day but follow me. Still hoping because when Cayden is there, he suddenly transforms and becomes a horrible romantic man. Peste, my hair stands up every time he becomes like that! I just can't see that this is Lucas.I don't even know why the revenge they call Cayden is that way, it won't be affected and besides, what did Cayden do wrong here? As for me, it's in arrears and they got nothing to do with it. They're just broken. Gen is all support. I'm still really hoping because if Cayden is there, he'll support this woman's temptation.We are not doing anything now because it is Saturday and we will be leaving soon because of the meeting of the former king and queen.This will be my first time seeing them and I don't know how I will feel because I have heard them in stories. They are famous and adored by the Pandorian people. I feel like they are on a different level.Pearl will be left behind because there is a substitute
August's POVI feel cold while standing here in the meeting area that looks like a big and luxurious living room. There are also soldiers there that you think are statues because they don't move and I still haven't seen them blink. Here we are in the seat which is more like a corner seat but we chose to stand.We were all silent. It doesn't look like we're all tense, but I feel like I want to run. Lucas with a frown on his face because he was walked inside the palace and had to run to reach us. I didn't think the palace was that big inside. It doesn't seem like it can last a whole day. A service golf car is still needed to get to the course quickly. Well, that's not a problem with Cayden because they know how to teleport, but what about me? Sometimes I think that the life of the nobleman is not good either, because it's just a palace, it's torture. What about simple people like me? Will I rely on the golf service car? Gasoline is expensive now! That was too expensive!"The king and qu
Genieva's POVWhat I see is refreshing. I can't believe that August and Queen Snow will get along. I already had the impression that Queen Snow would not like this because she was like that to August before. If anyone was against Cayden and August's wedding before, it was Queen Snow. We don't understand why she doesn't like August. He didn't say the reason but he didn't stop his grandson because he believed in the freedom of his grandson to choose. But it's not unknown to everyone that she doesn't like August so now I'm just surprised. If you look at it, you'd think these two have been best friends since their fetus days."I just can't believe it turned out like this," Lucas said in disbelief as he looked at Queen Snow and August."You said it," I replied weakly while I still couldn't take my eyes off the two of them who were now side by side King Yuan was on the other side with a frown on his face along with the indifferent Cayden."I thought, she'll gonna hate her." This is it."We
Snow's POVI was aimlessly looking outside here on the balcony. There are lots of things I am thinking about, especially with the things happening right now. I know this temporary peacefulness is soon to end. I know a day will come when another war will be created. Who would have thought that after my sacrifice, things will turn into this?I have this big feeling that something is going to happen. Something that I cannot pinpoint. But right now, I am just too happy because finally, the right one has arrived. I was too objective with the marriage of Cayden before but I wasn't able to stop him, because it is his right to choose. But if that marriage succeeds, there will be only chaos remains. Cayden will be destroyed. I am not thankful for her death, but still, it is beneficial if we look on the other side, but it was a tragic memory seeing my grandson weakened.If only I still have the abilities, but they are long gone. It is now within Cayden and his full ability will only be activate
August's POVWhat the fuck?! I didn't expect that Gen was referring to our transportation as a Blimp. Yes! It is a blimp. This is not a plane, more like an air cruise or tourist ride in mid-air. They say there is no plane but there is a blimp. Oh, isn't it just gorgeous? There is no blimp in the Philippines. It's only in the US. Because the Philippine government can't afford it.It's a floor now I don't know what it's called but for me, it's the airport, so we all looked up at it. It's slow-moving. Unlike a fast airplane. So when it landed on a plateau that was flat like an airport, the wind immediately got stronger and almost blew away my soul.I just closed my eyes because I feel like I'm going to sleep because of the dust. But I immediately woke up when I heard a call to us and saw that we were being called to enter the blimp.There was no discussion and we immediately entered the Blimp. Cayden just gave me something that I feel is like a ticket. I'm not sure but I have no intentio
Cayden's POVI immediately ran fast when I saw King Laurent heading towards August to stab him. I knew I could reach it so I immediately hugged August and tried to teleport but I just heard a growl from behind me. I stopped and could not move immediately."Pity, you saved your ............love, while he saved his love. My death is not for nothing after all. I may be dead, but still....... ...... I............won." I heard King Laurent promise in a weak voice. I heard that someone fell and someone followed."August!" Gen. screamed in disgust. I saw that Gen tried to run but Lucas stopped him.My body suddenly felt cold. Something suddenly entered my mind and I was filled with fear when I did not see him in Gen's group."Oh my god..." August also gasped, now looking behind me.I couldn't stop myself and immediately turned to see what was happening. Horror filled my body when I saw August..... my August..... the sword was stuck in his stomach to his back. I felt like the world suddenly s
August's POVMy eyes were trained to a certain point where the chaos is going on. Neither of us moved in shock. My eyes were now looking at a figure that stood out from the monsters. He has a red cape and a crown but he doesn't look human. I already have an idea who it is, and the fact that I have an idea of who it is makes me nervous.That thing is the king of Orcs. King Laurent. He is riding a war carriage that instead of a horse is pulled by two hellhounds. He looks demonic and terrifies me every time I stare at King Laurent's face."Hahahahahahahaha!" King Laurent laughed as he approached us. I felt like I wanted to retreat but I stopped myself, but my instinct is screaming that he is dangerous! I know that I am not capable of fighting it either. "You manage to somehow, defeat my frontline.." he said with a smile and I looked away because I can't stand the look of King Laurent."Your Orcs are weak," Lucas said looking intently at King Laurent."Hahahahaha! Pity. Do you even stil
August's POVI was terrified as I looked at the towering entrance of the Academy. A deafening sound was coming from here because of the loud banging of the orcs. I don't know what they use to do that. Wood or their body itself? I do not know."The barrier won't last if they keep bumping," Kaye said the worry on his face was obvious."I know. No matter how strong the foundation is, it can still be torn apart by desperate orcs." I said that there was a lot of tension. That's right, what's the difference between beautiful and desperate flirting? hahaBut before the others could react, the barrier suddenly rattled and creaked loudly as it fell and created a deafening noise and thick dust.I closed my eyes because I almost fell asleep. Angel Grace immediately intervened and created a shield so that we would not continue to be hit by the sleeping dust because the orcs might attack while we were closing our eyes. Maybe we will lose right away from the start of the match.I slowly opened my e
August's POVI try to avoid them all. I stayed in my room or I went out and hung out in every part of the Academy. Library in the corner of the laboratory or the maze garden. I also take out food. I don't want to eat in the pantry because I will only see them there too. I am also eating in the room.I am now in my room. I plan to go to the library. There is no class. I just thank you. I need to check some books in the restricted section. I have access to that because I'm an Elite. Weird, I still have the position even though the real August is back. But what is his right? I was the one who earned this position and he was not. I defeated Venna with my skill so he has no right to do this to me, I will hit his face.I left the room and unfortunately they were all downstairs as if they were waiting for someone. I walked held high but I wasn't looking at them. They sounded so happy and I was irritated because of that."August, we have a mission. Let's go." Franco's voice said.I do not car
August's POVI'm making my bed because now I can get out of the hospital. I still felt sullen that Gen didn't even visit. How busy are they? I didn't even hear any news from them. Or maybe because I am useless to them since I got injured. That thought makes me sad."August! The Elites are home!" Alice screamed rushing into the room.I smiled here. I did not feel any excitement at all because the sullenness was more dominant."Okay." I just answered here and fixed myself. Sometimes this Alice is also insensitive.Alice noticed that I was not in the mood so she didn't sculpt me. She's the only one who stayed by my side when I needed help. I don't remember anyone who went to visit me or even said hello if I was okay or if I was still alive. And now, she's saying they are back. I completely understand that they went on a mission but why do I still feel this way? I tried to shrug it off from my mind and started to think positively. Maybe this is just an effect of my near-death experience.
August's POV"Misha! Is this true? I'm back?" I can hardly believe the question. As far as I remember, I was still in Pandora and wounded."Yes, August... good and you're back. We've been looking for you for a long time." Misha started crying."I'm sorry, I didn't know that I was going to be taken to another planet," I said with a snort. But to be honest, I'm happy because I'm finally home. I don't belong there anyway."I wish you took me with you! Do you know how hard life is here without you? I can hardly leave the house. Gangsters are waiting outside the school because they are looking for you. Even your underlings, another group." It's a complaint again."Tss, yes. But did I know that I was going to go there? If only I had known, I wouldn't have told you to have a picnic there." I promise I'm pissed off here.I'm jealous that I can go home. I just didn't think I was back home. I thought, I will die there in Tierrabithea Tribe but it seems not because here I am, alive and well."Bu
August's POVMy surroundings almost beat our school grounds because of the cleanliness. I'm not even sure what's going to happen, as long as I'm hot-headed I want to step on it so I piled my annoyance on the dry leaves and kicked them.My anger has gathered. First, doing a mission without any concrete plans. Second, we are looking for something that we don't even have any idea what it is. There are no even clues, no evidence gathered. Then I'm the type of person who will rush if there is information gathered. Do you think I won't explode? How many times have I complained inside my brain? I tried not to complain because I know that they have their way but it was just too much. We still beat the newbies.I looked at the relatively small trees compared to the others. What happened to them? Why did they fall? I tried to remember if it had fallen before I arrived. But I really can't imagine! I'm not sure. But maybe it fell before I came because I didn't come near them."When can I go home?
August's POVI didn't know how I was able to sleep last night. Last night was a nightmare. We didn't do anything but just sit and wait for those ghosts to fade away and their screeching scream is nerve-wracking. I bet, I already have another set of bags under my eyes.I came out of the tent and I saw everyone how busy they were. But I was stopped by the wild grumbling in my stomach. That's right, I couldn't even eat last night even though I was hungry. Who would feel hungry if you are surrounded by ghosts? There was food but I couldn't force myself to eat. It's hard for me. My fear of ghosts is way more than my hunger.Suddenly my mouth watered when I smelled grilled fish. I immediately followed the smell as if my feet had a mind of their own and my instinct knew where the smell was coming from. And there I saw my group they are in a circle and grilling with a man-made bonfire."Hey, it's good that you're awake. This is almost done and we can eat." Gen. happily promised.I snorted. "I
August's POVThe ringing that we heard disappeared when we reached what looked like a stone ruin with vines. But we hardly moved at the same time when someone focused on our eyes. Immediately we saw the tribes with black faces. Is the clay mask a trend for them? But it can't be a clay mask because I know it's not. It's like slapping their face with a caldera's ass."Foreigners! What's your purpose and have you strayed into our territory?!" Boldly asked a big man who was just carrying a spear and if any wrong move we would make, he would throw the spear at us.I can't speak! I seem to be stoned to where I stand. We might be strong be we are outnumbered. I am hesitating if I have to move or not. But I was about to move and jump when someone stopped me. I immediately turned around and immediately saw Cayden looking at me and he shook his head a little, giving me a signal not to do whatever I am planning to do.I gritted my teeth. We are obviously in a very dangerous situation. Those like
