The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 7: Got Lost in the Road Crystal’s POV“My plan is for us to set to this village as soon as tomorrow. I hope that everyone can agree with this arrangement.”“That is a good plan, Dragon King, but we also need to prepare to leave. Isn’t that too soon?”“I understand that you all are surprised as this was our first-time meeting as a team. But we can’t put on hold such an important thing. The whole world is at stake.”Oliver took out a paper map from his bosom. Why is he so old-style? Everyone around the table looked at him with raised eyebrows. Even Nayara, the mermaid princess who wasn’t that used to land, took out her phone and searched for the GPS map. While Oliver looked at his map, we were looking at the GPS map on our phone.Is this because he was said to be in a seclusion for more than a decade? That makes sense. Even when we were married, he only used his phone to call me few times a year.‘Why did I remember that again?’I blinked my eyes a
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 8: I Know You’re ExhaustedCrystal’s POVShort after Oliver arrived, we bought tickets and boarded the plane. However, there’s only one thing I’m bothered with.I understand that the seats were arranged by the Chief for the meeting, and we were seated next to each other in the restaurant two days ago because we have higher ranks than the other inside the room. But even until here inside the airplane? This is too much to be a simple coincidence.I took a deep breath. Is fate playing with me?I turned my head to the left and Jethro was looking at me with teary eyes. What’s with this kid?“I want to sit with Queen Fae, but it was already taken when it was my turn to choose the seat. I’m so sad.”“…”“Good for you, Dragon King. You get to sit with the Queen Fae.”I let out an awkward laugh. He made it look like Oliver purposely chose this seat and didn’t let Jethro take it.Oliver cleared his throat and shot him a glance.“We will be in the plane for an
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 9: The Village part 1Crystal’s POVIt was already two in the afternoon when we arrived at the said village. Since it was located near the forest, I could feel the dense magical energy coming from its direction, adding to the humid air around the area.We first looked for a restaurant we could eat at and thankfully, even near the forest, there was a small noodle house. The owner was amicable and was smiling at us ever since we came.“Please come in, come in. It has been a long time since people came to our place.”After offering us a seat near the window where the biggest table was located, the owner of the noodle house pointed to the menu board.“Dear guests, what do you want to eat? Everything here is made from natural ingredients.”Jethro grumbled by the side, “Do you have some chicken?”“Yes. Roasted, braised, stewed, grilled or fried?”Surprised, Jethro asked again, “You really have them all?”“Of course.”“Then I’ll have stewed chicken, with l
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 10: The Village part 2Crystal’s POVWhen we got down from the second floor, we saw a crowd of people outside the motel.“Who could have done that to Manny? He was a good person.”“Please let his soul rest in peace.”Lumara nudged at me and quietly asked me, “Did someone die?”“We’ll see once we get to the front.”Since there was a large crowd of people, it was hard to squeeze through.As soon as we saw what the crowd was looking for, my blood went cold, and shivers ran down my spine. Who could have done such a heinous crime?There was a person lying on the ground. He was covered in his own blood, so it was difficult to recognize him. It looked like someone purposely dumped him on the road and make a scene.Oliver, who was checking the corpse, stood next to me and handed me a handkerchief. I looked at him, with eyes asking him what I should do with the handkerchief.He shook his head and gestured ‘let’s talk later’. I nodded my head.A few moments l
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 11: Shot You DownCrystal’s POV“I found this handkerchief with the body earlier. It has the scent of a devil.”Oliver took the handkerchief from me and pointed to the embroidery on it.We were now inside their room and discussing about how to proceed with the investigation. Something this big happened, so we shouldn’t let this pass at all.“He was killed by a devil?” I asked.“It’s the biggest possibility right now. We could also use this to find the missing official.”I furrowed. This mess is indeed connected to the devils. But how did they know that I sent her for that particular herb? Were they also looking for that as well?I turned to Oliver.“Is it possible that they weren’t after my official, but after that certain herb we need for our clan? It just happened that we are also looking for that and my official was on the place, so they used her to find the herb and kidnapped her afterwards? Worst, killed her?”“That’s also possible.”He took ou
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 12: How do you know? Oliver’s POV“Be careful. I smell something different about this man,” the usually silent Draven warned us as we get closer to the man in the hut.He was right. Even though we are still ten steps away from the man, something feels weird about him.When the man noticed us, we went into alert mode, but he only smiled and waved at us. He put down his broom and approached us.“Hello, hello. What brings you to my humble abode, gentlemen? Please come inside.”His smile was very warm that he doesn’t look suspicious at all.I looked at both Draven and Jethro. When our eyes met, we had a tacit understanding. We cautiously went inside the small hut.Just like how small it looked, it was also small inside. There was barely a space for four men to fit inside. On the left side, I noticed a bed and a worn-out mosquito net. There were some hanging things on the ceiling. I guess they are some kind of herbs or jerky.‘But who makes jerky now? Y
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 13: InsensitivityCrystal’s POV“What on earth happened here?”Oliver’s forehead furrowed when he noticed sitting on one side and wiping the blood on the corners of her mouth. I averted my eyes when he looked in my direction.I heard his footsteps approaching, but it didn’t stop near me. When I raised my head, he was checking Snow’s condition.“Thankfully, you’re not hurt anywhere else. Can you walk?”“I still can, but someone else is ready to shoot me down again. Haha.”Snow snickered and I could only roll my eyes in my mind. What the hell am I doing right now?Oliver’s stern voice rang from the other side.“Queen Fae, this is not the right thing to do when we are in a team. You should be the one leading them and not the one who makes trouble.”I quickly rebutted, “Do you think I am a kid throwing tantrums?”“Then how will you explain this situation?”“I….”I bit the insides of my mouth and couldn’t say anything. Just what on earth was I thinking w
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 14: ReconciliationCrystal’s POV“I thought Queen Fae wouldn’t go out of the room.”When I opened the door of our room, Oliver was standing there and leaning on the wall with his arms crossed on his chest as if waiting for me. I quickly averted my eyes and pretended not to see him.I didn’t even take five steps when his voice rang behind me again.“Queen Fae, is this your way of dealing with things?”I turned back to him.“Are you asking me?”“As the Queen Fae, I have to remind you that your actions do not align the title on top of your head.”“Then Dragon King, what do you think I should have done at that moment? Let her run her mouth?”Are you lecturing me now? Oliver put his hands inside his pocket.“I’m not sure what you two were talking about but attacking her wasn’t the best way to do it. Especially since we are a team, what you did is hindering the team’s cooperation. How will we be able to catch the culprit who must have kidnapped your fair
