"But you had never attended any of our family's events. Then why this time?", he asked her.She looked at him, "So, you don't want me to come?""It's not that I was just curious. That's great that you are coming. I will be looking forward to your presence", he told her with a smile.The next day, Mia got ready for school. When she entered the school gate, all students were staring at her and were excited to see her. Some girls were jealous of her.She looked really beautiful in that uniform with her hair tied into a ponytail as usual. She was like a celebrity in her school.She would look even cuter with the glasses she wore. She had a bit of weak eyesight so, sometimes she would wear those glasses.She was the most intelligent student among all the high school students. Currently, she was a student in her last year of high school.Because of her intelligence, she skipped classes in her junior school.Mia ignored the gazes of students and teachers. She went to the class and sat in
The ball soon started. Mia and the twins removed their masks. The whole Hall was shocked to see Mia. The Yang Family members rushed to welcome them. The first round of dance started. Mia told Cheng to dance first with Liana.Mia was standing there with Lin. Lin looked at her and smiled, "Umm... Beautiful lady, will you give me the honor to dance with you."Mia chuckled and gave him her hand, "Sure."He kissed her hand and took her to the center of the Hall. They both began to dance. The Hall was filled with whispers. They looked like a beautiful couple.Everyone's gazes were fixed on them. The first round ended but they were still dancing."We should stop. The round is over", Mia whispered to Lin.He smiled, "I am aware but I can't stop myself. Let's have this second round together as well."They were looking into each other's eyes and continued the dance with the flow of the music.Everyone around them stopped dancing. They were the only ones dancing. Liam's hands clenched into fis
After school, Mia went to the Island. The Dragon Leader came. Mia was sitting on a bench beside the lake.He bowed to her, "Greetings Your Highness."Mia nodded, "Greetings to you too.""Your Highness, you called me here. Is there something important you want to talk about?", he asked Mia curiously."Mr. Lee, please answer me sincerely". Mia told him.He nodded.Mia began to speak, "Liam, does he know about my real identity as the ruler?" He answered, "No, Your Highness.""Whose powers did he inherit, I mean mother, father, yours, or any other family member?", Mia asked him.He was silent. After a while, he replied, "Actually, he hasn't inherited any of our powers. His powers are completely different from ours. In our family for centuries, there was no one with this kind of power. He has a dark aura and none of us have that. Sometimes it feels as if we are controlled by him."Mia went into deep thought. She stood up and began to speak, "How did you feel that he was controlling you al
I was shocked to see the behavior of Lin. I tried to talk to him but he went away without even listening to me. It seems that he hates Liam but I had no choice.There is s strange scent. Something like blood. I looked around and finally found some blood stains on the tree trunk."Oh no. Lin is injured."Without another thought, I rushed the way he went. I followed his scent but it was getting faint because he was quite fast.Then I heard sounds of howling."Lin, it's him. He seems to be in pain."I rushed to the direction where the sounds came from. Finally, I reached the Magical Arena.I felt something strange when I saw Lin. He had turned into a Wolf and was sitting in the corner howling.Tears began to flow from my eyes when I saw him. It must be because of the effect of his golden blood.I went close to him. He curled up at my sight. I sat crossed leg next to him and stroked his smooth fur.He didn't respond."Lin. are you alright? Is your hand hurting a lot? Give it to me I will
Lin's POVWhen Mia mentioned Liam, I just lost control over myself. After punching the tree in anger I ran away as fast as I could. Tears were flowing out of my eyes. How could she mention him in front of me? I hate him. I just want to kill him.He just wants to take Mia far away from me. Who is he to think that? This thought made me stop running. My whole body just froze. When I stopped running I had reached the Arena."Of course, he can think. He can. He is her mate. But Lin who are you to her? You are nothing but someone whose help she needs. Huh... You fool." I told myself. Tears were continuously flowing down my face. I looked at the sky. The moon looked beautiful but this time its sight made me feel pain. Although the moon was beautiful it was out of my reach just like Mia.Why? Why do I feel this? Why can't I see her with someone else? Why does the thought of her being with someone else make me feel pain? My heart aches when I see her sad.Even if she is Mi still she wants to
I stared at her, "Tell me what is it?"She was a bit hesitant and then spoke, "Although Liam is coming to train with you and fight with us but he doesn't know the fact that we are here. He must not know my real identity. You shouldn't behave as if I am Mia. Instead, you have to behave as the most trusted person and the most loyal guard of Princess Chi. I hope you understood?" Her words were a bit surprising and the fact that she wants to hide her identity from her mate."Yes, I did understand your words. But why do you have to hide your identity?", I asked her out of curiosity.Mia was silent."It's okay. Don't say it if it is something that you don't want to", I said with a smile.She looked at me, "It's not that. The thing is that whenever I think about him it feels quite strange. I am doing all this to see his true personality. As the ruler of the Magical Beasts, I can't risk their life with my wrong decisions."This little girl in Infront of me looked so confident with her words t
I rushed to her, "Mia are you alright?"She was standing there still. I took the little animal from her hands and put it near a tree.I held her by both of her shoulders, "Mia speak something. You are making me worried."She looked at me. Her eyes were filled with fear."Lin, something wrong has happened. It shouldn't have happened. How? How can it be possible?" She said while trembling. I couldn't understand her words at all."Mia, what happened? What is it that had made you afraid?", I asked her.Mia removed my hands from her shoulders," Lin, please take this baby deer to its mother. I had to go. I had to do something important."She said that and ran away. I wasn't able to stop her but she made me worried. I took the baby deer from the ground.Mia's POVI ran fastly towards the building of the Conference room. The conference room was on the third floor. I rushed to the second floor where were different magical equipment and tools. I rushed to the huge mirror on the wall. It was t
"Hao", I looked up at Hao, who appeared from nowhere.I withdrew from the hug. "I should be asking you why you open the summoning mirror?", Hao replied angrily."Anyways, you are free now. Remember to fulfill your duties properly from now on", I said to him.I moved my hand in the air and a chocolate bar appeared. Hao happily snatched it. His expressions changed in a blink of an eye from anger to happiness.I stared at him, "What are you hiding now? I can tell there is something you should tell me."He looked at me with his mouth covered with chocolate, "Indeed there is something important but I guess you already know it.""Something I know?", I questioned him. He stared at me and pointed toward Lin, "What about him? You had already found your mate and you seem quite close to him. As much as I know you don't express your feelings too much in front of others. Maybe it's the effect of him being your mate. You seem to recover your memory since you know him."Huh, my memory, "But my mem
"Lin, after finding out about my condition did you give me your blood?", I asked him.But he remained silent.I went towards the door with all my anger filled inside me.Lin came behind me and grabbed my hand, "Mia, where are you going?""It is none of your business. Let go of my hand", I told him without turning back.He came and stood in front of me, "Mi Mi, I can't let you go until you recover.""Why did you give me your blood when I had already told you not to?", I screamed out those words without thinking.Lin grabbed both of my hands, "I am sorry Mi but I would never leave you dying until and unless I am not dead myself. Whenever you are in danger I won't step back. I won't listen to you while protecting you. This time it was just a few drops of blood but if one day it is my whole life, even then I won't hesitate or step back." I felt him step closer to me and then he stopped when a few inches of distance were left,"Mi, I had lost you once but I can't afford to lose you again.
I withdrew from the hug and looked at his shocked face. There was moisture appearing in his eyes. This time he hugged me.I was breathless because of the sudden hug. He hugged me tightly but didn't say a word. I waited for him to talk. After a while, I felt his hot tears on my shoulder. I don't know why but I wanted to calm him. Without another thought, I touched his head.With my other hand I began to tap his back, "Li Li, don't cry, please. I think I shouldn't have told you about my memory coming back. It had made you sad."He sniffed and then withdrew from the hug, "Mi Mi, you don't know how long I had waited for this moment. It is not that I am sad. It's just that I am too happy and tired. I am tired of waiting and hiding my emotions all this time."I couldn't help but wiped out his tears, "I am sorry."Lin looked at me and grabbed my hands, "Mia, after Mom's death I wanted to die. It was you who brought hope to my life. Those five years with you were like five centuries. Althoug
Mia's POVI found myself in a familiar environment. I thought that I might be inside the stone realm and looked around but then realized that it was the dream that had haunted me for years.This time everything seemed different because stead of my childhood self, I the older me is inside this dream.I began to walk in the green field. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily. I went to a nearby tree to take shelter."*sob* Mom*sob*", I heard someone sobbing.I went to look around and then saw a boy sitting beneath a nearby tree. His face was hidden in his arms but I felt familiar with him. I stepped towards him.Then a girl appeared. "Huh... That's me..." That was the younger me, I saw in my previous dreams. She went close to him and sat close to him.The younger me calmed him down and put a bandage on his wound. The boy soon stopped crying. They both introduced themselves to each other.The boy told me his name was Li while the younger me told her name was Mi."Wait a second, isn't it wha
I sighed in relief and turned around to the bookshelf, "I must be fast."I approached the books and began to read the text on them."Let me help you a bit", the bird told me and then flew close to the books. "Among these books, there is a book named Heart of Crystals. Find that book, it will guide you."" Thanks for telling me that but it would be great if you had told me about how to solve these puzzles", I told it and continued solving the puzzle."Humph... Ungrateful. You should be thankful that I told you the name. Now I won't help you anymore", it flew to the table near the bookshelf.I think I had angered it.I scratched my head in confusion, "What is this? I can't understand it at all?"I touched one of the books and began to focus on it. There was a mixture of scripts written there. It was like, 1325 Huã For Xiūxi."Wait a second...", an idea clicked in my mind."If we take the name in English then 1 is for A, 3 for C, 2 for B, and 5 for E. Then it becomes ACBE but it is not a
Mia got up from the ground with blood flowing out of the wound on her forehead and rushed toward the spirits. One after another she killed many of them."Mia, don't push yourself hard. Stop it", Hao who was inside the shield protecting the stone shouted.She ignored him and kept fighting. The spirits were still in a great amount. A giant spirit came and hit her. She fell to the ground and threw up blood."Ahhh... ", she was in pain.All the spirits rushed towards her and she was covered by them. She tried her best to escape them but was heavily injured.She growled in anger and pain, "Now, you left no other choice."Rays of light came out from the group of spirits that had surrounded Mia and they all fell apart. There was a huge beam of light and when the light disappeared Mia was in the air. Wearing Red armor, her hair was tied up in a ponytail and different elements were flowing around her."Miaaaa... Why must you harm yourself...", Hao screamed.The spirits slowly got up and were a
I stared at her in surprise, "Then do you mean I am the real one?"There was a sad expression on her face, "Hmmm, you are the one. Because of me, the situation had become worse and now I don't want to repeat the same mistake. Yes, it is you, Mia's true mate and the one who will aid her to end her curse."Happiness rushed inside me at her words. When I looked at mom something was bothering me. She smiled at me but there was sadness in her smile.I grabbed her hands, "Mom, why do I feel that you are sad at the fact of me being her mate?"She looked at me with fear in her eyes that I could not understand, "I am not sad because you are her mate. I am just regretting the decision that I made.""Mom, what decision?", I asked her confused."Lin, If I hadn't hidden your mark years ago then the situation would be much better. Just because of that selfish decision of mine not only you but little Mia is suffering a lot. Even though I am guiding her but still I can't help her to live happily", te
Lin's POVI don't know why but something is wrong with Mia. My whole body was trembling. My face was covered in sweat and tears flowed down my eyes."Ugh...", I grabbed my chest.There was a sharp pain in my heart and then a sharp pain started in my neck as well. A strong flash of light came out from the left side of my neck, "Ahhh...."I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place. I was laying beside a lake. I got up from the ground and looked around but there was no one. There was a familiar tree near the lake."The healing tree ...", I remembered.I went close to it and touched it."Not only this tree but the whole place is a healing place", a familiar voice came.I turned around to see the speaker. I freeze at the sight of the person.I took a step forward, "M...mo...m..."I ran and hugged her, "Mom, where were you? Why did you leave me like this?"She hugged me back tightly, "My dear Li Li. How have you been?""*sob*How could be a motherless child?", I was unable to stop
Ask your heart", he glanced at me.I got up from the chair angrily, "Grandpa Wen, please tell me. Don't put me in further confusion."He looked at Mia, "She is awake."I glanced at Mia. She seemed to be waking up. I went to her."Mia", I grabbed her hand.Mia moved her head a little and then slowly opened her eyes," Umm...*cough*"Grandpa Wen brought water, "Here give it to her."I helped her to sit. After drinking water, she looked around and a strange laugh escaped her.She stared at her hands, "Fate is really cruel.""Mia, what do you mean? Aren't you happy that you are fine?", I asked her with curiosity.She lift her head to look at me since she was resting her back on my chest. Our eyes met. There was very little distance between our faces. I could feel her breath. My heart stopped beating at the sight of those beautiful chocolate eyes. I forgot to breathe. "*cough*", Grandpa Wen's cough brought me back to my senses.Mia was still staring into my eyes. She smiled, "I thought I w
"Chirp....chirp...", I opened my eyes and found myself in the backyard of Mia's house. There was a peaceful environment. The birds were chirping around. Grandpa Wen was standing next to me."How dare you?", there was a scream from a woman. I looked at Grandpa Wen, "Who's voice is that?"He looked at me, "Stay quiet and wait."I stood there silently looking at the door that most probably led to the kitchen."Mom, I am sorry...ahh...ahh", there was a little girl's cry.Then a woman appeared holding the arm of a little girl who was crying. That girl..."Mia...", the name escaped my mouth. Grandpa Wen smiled, "I knew you would recognize her. Don't try to go to her because it is just a glimpse of the past and you can't do anything nor can she see you.""*sob* mom, I... I am....s...s...orrrr...y", she kept on crying and sobbing but that woman ignored and dragged her.She dragged her to a tree where the sun was bright and it was a hot place considering the weather of summer. A big metal s
