The auntie tilted her head and shook her head, “I’m afraid we don’t have what you are looking for, young man. Roses came from the south while the flowers I sell all came from the local area. Transport is more expensive than the flower itself.”
“I see.”
“You must be a foreigner, right?”
Oliver nodded his head.
The auntie enthusiastically started chattering, “Although you are a foreigner, I am willing to tell you something. Roses are hard to come by so we sell white camellias. It is perfect if you’re giving it to your parents. They’ll surely love it.”
Chapter 85: Cousins Third Person’s POVAfter two hours of practice, Stella and Theodore were both sweating so Oliver gave them water. He ignored the suspicious glances of his father and continued wiping his mother’s sweat. Theodore squinted his eyes at him and sent him daggers using his eyes. Oliver treated him like air. Stella needed to return after the practice so Oliver didn’t hold her back any more. Before they left, Theodore stood beside him. In a cold voice, he said, “Although you looked as handsome as me, Stella is mine.”Oliver clicked his tongue, “Childish.” Oliver stared at their departing backs for a long time. No one knows what he was thinking. As he stood there staring at the direction they left, he felt someone’s presence beside him. There was no need for him to turn, as the person started speaking. “Just as I told you, we need to be careful so they won’t know we are not from this timeline.” Oliver sighed, “I know. I was just watching here.” “Then what about thos
Chapter 86: OverthinkingThird Person’s POV“Is it my fault that fairies are more fragile than you expected?”“I thought you’d be at least stronger than your people. You’re the Queen Fae after all.”“So what? I have weak qualities too, okay?”Crystal rolled her eyes at Oliver for having seen through her intentions. She was already exhausted and wanted to rest.Kian put his wooden sword on his back and wiped his sweat.“Queen Fae, you’re indeed a little weak. Want me to teach you how to appear stronger?”
Chapter 87: First Day of TrainingThird Person’s POVWhen it was Kian’s turn, he was almost shaking from nervousness although he is a prince himself.Theodore looked at Kian on the stage. He was about to say something when he saw him nervously pulling on his wooden sword, but he suddenly took the attack stance.Theodore pulled the corners of his lips and continued watching him. Every time Kian wields his wooden sword in the air, Theodore could feel the power emanating from within. Theodore nodded his head and underlined Kian’s name.The next person was Oliver. Theodore squinted his eyes, but he wasn’t a petty person to use this exam to get back at Oliver.
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 1: Can’t Be BotheredIt was spring. The flowers in the field bloomed with the spring wind. Birds started to get out of their tree houses and greet the spring sun. Land animals walked out from the woods after a long time of winter and bathed in the spring sun.The curtain hanging by the window was swaying with the early spring wind. The sunlight passing through the glass window illuminated the figure sleeping by the bed. It was a sunny morning.On the table beside the bed, the phone rang. The woman on the bed was awaken by her ringtone. Her fingers gingerly reached out for her phone. When she did, her flexible finger slid through the screen and answered the incoming call without looking to see who the caller is. She put it on her ear but remained closing her eyes.“What do you want?”Her morning voice was a little hoarse. The caller on the other end of the line cleared his throat before answering.“I’m at the airport. Come pick me up.”The woman grun
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 2: Sign the Divorce Papers Crystal’s POVI put down my phone and stepped on the accelerator. The flow of traffic today was bearable than the last few days. Maybe because the holidays were finally over, and people had gone to their normal routine. As I waited for the red light to turn green, I saw the huge LED screen on a building playing the news.[Reporter: Hot issue! Star model, Snow Ivory, was seen with an unknown man, who was said to have visited the shooting location of her debut drama. With the HD quality of the circulating photo, many speculated that the man must be the secret lover of the model. On the other hand, the model had yet to make a statement about this news.]I pulled my gaze away from the screen. It was the same picture Cody sent me. What did I even expect? Being in an arranged marriage, it wasn’t surprising that he went to look for another woman as soon as he arrived in the country rather than his wife. Such is life.Creak~As I
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 3: Long Time No See TEN YEARS LATERCrystal’s POV“Queen Fae, the latest report stated that the enemies are quickly approaching the borders of this world. Several attacks were recorded in different cities and the casualties are increasing. That is why, the Chief especially asked for your appearance in the meeting today.”I massaged my temples. My headache is exhausting me.I received the same kind of report for three consecutive weeks. At first, I thought that it was only a simple attack of the dark forces, but hearing that they are already launching an attack means that they don’t have the intention to retreat this time.I took the report from my aide and read its contents. Stated here is the Chief’s wish to meet with the seven heads of the immortal realm for a meeting scheduled this afternoon.I turned to Sarah, my aide and a pure-blooded water fairy, “Prepare the car and we’ll leave right away after I finish this last document.”“Noted, Queen Fa
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 4: The Dragon King? Crystal’s POV“Queen Fae. Queen Fae? Crystal!”“Oh? Ah. Ahem.”I hurriedly pulled my gaze away from that man and cleared my throat.“I was calling your name many times, but you seemed to be not listening to me. What were you thinking?”“I… I was thinking about what this meeting is about.”I hurriedly told Lumara that and hastily sat down on my chair. For some reason, I feel hot all over my body, adding that same suffocating feeling from ten years ago.‘What is this feeling?’I placed my hands on my thigh and pinched myself.Come on, Crystal. That’s years ago.I kept telling that myself, but this feeling of something strangling me on my neck won’t go away as soon as he made his appearance inside the room.The Chief walked toward his seat, and so the man behind him. The Chief was beside that man, and that man was sitting beside me.I heard the Chief’s cool voice echoed inside the meeting room, “Now that everyone’s here, let’s sta
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 5: A FrenemyOliver’s POV Ten years – it was enough for a person to totally forget about another and start anew. It was long enough for feelings to fade, such as resentment and love. But is it really?Under the dim lights inside the meeting conference, I didn’t expect to see her again. After ten years, she had become the Queen Fae while I the Dragon King. We are moving in the same world again. I noticed her as soon as I laid my eyes on her.No matter how much time had passed, it won’t matter as I could easily recognize her. There was something unique about her, that’s why I couldn’t help but open my mouth when I saw her bit her lower lip.‘I want to bite it.’It was luscious red, like the plump cherries ready to be picked.I approached them when they were about to leave, but she seems to act like she didn’t know me. I raised my eyebrows when I saw her crossed her arms on her chest as I continue to talk with the Phoenix Queen.‘Jealous?’I tapped my
