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
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 15: An IllusionCrystal’s POV“What a cozy scene. Queen Fae, Fox Princess, what are you two talking about?”“Ah, we were just talking about the case of our missing fairy.”“Oh, then we are on the same page. Let me show you this.”When the door of the room opened, Jethro and the others went inside as if they were waiting for Snow and me to talk about things. Oliver entered the room and sat on the opposite seat to me. Well, who cares?Jethro took out his phone and showed us a photo of a notice.“Is this festival tomorrow night?”“Hmm, but the strange thing is it was only sent out this morning right after we went to the forest.”Snow took the phone and stared at the pic
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 16: Help!Oliver’s POVI gulped as soon as I laid my eyes on her. I lost the ability to talk and suddenly ran out of what to say.Has she always been this beautiful? How come I didn’t know?But that is a given. Although we were married for two years, we both didn’t know that we were both immortal. How surprised was I when I saw her in that meeting? But not as surprised as I am right now.I am looking at a fairy – the Queen Fae that everyone bows their head to, and the Queen Fae everyone respected.Her whole being seemed to be covered with a halo, and everything about her shines just the way she is. I couldn’t take away my eyes from her, but she took my breath away.“Ahem… the spell.”
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 17: So TouchyCrystal’s POV With my numb limbs, we quickly went after the man who was running as if someone was chasing after him. Even though his screams were loud enough to take the attention of the many people around, they don’t seem to mind the man running for his life. They continued partying like nothing was happening around them.As we run after the man, I realized that we were getting farther and farther away from the town square. The road had become rocky and steep by the time I noticed that we were taking the road to the forest.“Careful!”“AH!”I stumbled on a big rock, and I fell on the ground. I winced in pain when my hands pressed against the thorns growing on the side of the road.Oliver quickl
