Chapter 53 – PEACEFUL NIGHT
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56RIESKA’S high-ranking officials were present during dinner. Kharyn was there, sitting beside Zanti, facing Zenus and Harewyn. At the same time, the queen was facing Eleand.
“I hope Enkille and her marshals are here as well. The King’s Cadre would be complete, isn’t it?” Eleand broke the silence.
“Our cadre can never go back to what it used to be unless Esdras left the throne.” Rieska put the cutlery on the table and seemed to lose her appetite. She drank water and stood up, “I need to see something. I’ll be back later.” She wiped her mouth with the white table napkin before she strolled out the dining hall.
“What’s wrong with her? Is she that sensitive about Esdras?” he asked when Rieska was gone.
Kharyn answered him. “She’s not, but there are wounds that would not close easily. Did she tell you that Esdras is her older br

IN the morning the next day, Eleand found himself inside his room, trying to remember what happened last night. He was with the Rieska in the tower and probably fell asleep on her shoulder. Maybe she had brought him to his bed.He immediately got up and took a shower, feeling light. Maybe because he had a peaceful slumber last night, he slept without the usual nightmares haunting him for the first time.“I didn’t expect you to look settled.”An unfamiliar female faerie emerged, and he was startled. He just got out of the bathroom and currently drying his hair with a small towel.“Who are you?”The faerie wore a light blue gown, had tanned skin, grey eyes, and her long white wavy hair reached the shoulder.“I’m Abysses, and I’m in charge of looking after you.”“I can manage, thanks.” He nodded and continued to dry his hair.“I sug
The Hidden Realm Chapter 55 – FLYING LESSON
ELEAND prepared from an attack because Zenus wasted no time and launched an assault. Luckily, Eleand’s sword immediately blocked the first strike. The sounds of their clashing weapons echoed, and they took their sparring to another level when Zenus started to move incredibly fast.Using his faerie sight, Eleand followed his opponent’s movements and defended himself against a deadly blow. If he had been careless, the twin swords of his adversary would have landed in his body. Every time, Zenus’ swords were an inch away from him.Silently, he used his wind magic to move faster and strengthened his protection magic to shield himself. The sword of Zenus produced blue flames; the general started to cast strong magic, so Eleand unleashed his fire manipulation as well.A red fire covered his left hand while the other summoned the ice. Hundreds of tiny snowflakes danced around Hasmal.Eleand attacked Zenus, but he avo
The Hidden Realm Chapter 56 – WHITE MOUNTAIN
MANY days had passed, Eleand finally adjusted to his harsh training in Raledia. He once suggested to the queen to use his wind magic to float on air since he found it hard to fly using his heavy wings. However, summoning the wind to levitate was exhausting. Fortunately, after over a week, he could finally control his dragon wings. Everyone in the palace was proud of his milestone.The Ancient Queen personally trained him, and he was overjoyed. He could finally be close to her as Rieska, not Brandy. They were much alike even in attitude. She could be sweet and uncaring sometimes. But of course, comparing one individual was stupid.“Do you miss Brandy?” Rieska suddenly asked while they were flying.“Excuse me?” His head turned to face her. He wasn’t prepared for that question.“Do you miss your wife?” her smile teased him.“Ex-wife,” he corrected her, a
The Hidden Realm Chapter 57 – COUNCIL MEETING
THE day of the council meeting in Argia arrived. It was scheduled to last until three days. Eleand was ready. He could stay in his faerie form for a long time without draining his mana.“What if Aserah told everyone that I’m a mortal once she sees me?” Eleand was somehow agitated.“This is why you trained to be well-versed in shapeshifting. Can you sustain it until the last day of the council meeting?” Rieska let out a deep breath.“Yes, I’m confident.”The queen wanted him to keep up this way because it was necessary. Besides, he seldom transformed back to his human form once he got the grasp of proper shapeshifting. He loved his fae body. Although sometimes he found his wings a hassle, he preferred not to show it most of the time.“Everything is settled. We’re going now.” Rieska stood from her throne. Zenus stood beside her.Eleand tilted his head
The Hidden Realm Chapter 58 – TENSION
THE entire chamber went silent for a moment and unbelievingly looked at Eleand.“Silence!” his voice roared with authority. He held his head high and looked at everyone. “We are here to discuss the coming war. The Empire has been terrorizing Erganiv since a few months ago. If we stand united, our chance of winning this war is high. If divided, we’ll lose. This realm will fall, and all of you here is aware of that.”He heard someone sniggered—Prince Alberich. “Who the hell are you to be involved in this council?” there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.“It doesn’t matter. I’m with the queen.” He met his scornful gaze. Eleand knew the Gwiazdan Prince remembered him. But he set aside their issue. He would make him pay for what he did in due time.“I don’t give a flying fuck if you are with her. You still don’t have the right
The Hidden Realm Chapter 59 – WINZI'S TEARS
THE first day of the conference went well. Even Rieska and Aserah would throw arguments occasionally. Branigan personally showed them their room inside the Palace of Lights. Eleand could not protest when the room reservation was made only for two. The young lord of Argia left before he could even protest. Eleand beamed to see Enkille rushing in their direction. She was careful around. Then she snapped her fingers to provide them an invisible shield to prevent prying eyes. “Enkille!” Eleand almost hugged her, but there was a warning look from the queen. He gently patted her shoulder instead. “Your Majesty,” Enkille arched her head down. “How are you, Eleand?” he asked him after giving her respect to the queen. “I’m great! Where’s Rade and Althy?” “They’re in Velidia, and we can’t leave the Winter Region yet. Fariyah can’t fight the Shadows alone. There has been a handful encounter o
The Hidden Realm Chapter 60 – NIGHT WITH THE QUEEN (R18)
“YOU’RE back!”Eleand found Rieska in her nightdress and her hair still wet. He swallowed hard. He couldn’t control to stare at her from head to toe. She was damn hot! Especially her long shapely legs and her curves in the right places.He was suddenly in heat, and he hurriedly went inside the shower to calm his nerves.No, Eleand. Don’t think about it. He muttered to himself.The warm water in the bathtub calmed his senses. Tonight was the first time he would spend the night with the queen, just the two of them inside the bedroom.Darn! He groaned.Zenus was right. Sleeping with Rieska was not an issue. She was his wife. But for an unknown reason, he was ecstatic and nervous at the same time. It would be easy for him if only she treated him as her real husband. The fact that she still loves her king, he was deeply saddened. The only reason he kept his emotions in pl
The Hidden Realm Chapter 61 – ALARM
RIESKA and Eleand were seated in the exact location from yesterday. Even the High Leaders did the same. There were arguments again, but gratefully, no one dared to hurt each other physically. However, all of them were alert.“Today, we’ll discuss different kinds of the battle strategy if the war broke….” Branigan showed the hologram on the table. All were silent and listened to the young lord.Branigan explained the possible scenarios once the enemy tore the wall completely. The broken barrier would expose the faerie realm’s existence to humans, creating chaos between races.Eleand thought that maybe it was Esdras’s plan all along to expose their domains because he wanted to take over not just in the faerie realm but the entire world.The conference went smoothly. The attendees set aside their personal issues and created strategies for their survival. Although, some were not in favor, especially Aserah.

AIROH deeply inhaled while staring behind Winzi. She was sobbing, and he let her mourn. They were the special room he prepared for Wallace inside the palace. Winzi stared at her brother lying inside the ice coffin. It took her some time to finally accept that Wallace was indeed sealed into that ice coffin. The king was not expecting that Harewyn would come back with Winzi a few days ago. The princess knew the bad news. She didn’t hesitate to go with Harewyn, even if it would be an act of treason against the Golden Palace. “Brother…” Her hands trembled while touching the thick ice covering her brother. Airoh pitied the Princess of Alsache. But she had to understand that her brother’s life wouldn’t be the only collateral once Esdras retaliated in full force. All of them lost a loved one, and he understood her misery. He raised his hand and gently tapped her shoulder. “I’m sorry for your loss….”
The Hidden Realm Chapter 76 – SPIRIT OF THE SUN
AIROH gasped for air. After he filled his lungs with oxygen, he shuddered because of pulsating sensation of power moving inside his body. He was submerged in a blinding light, and the force inside him was waiting to be unleashed.He screamed when his body trembled again. He levitated on the air, and the blinding light surrounding his body thickened in a circular motion. His body continued to quiver, and he knew his body underwent changes that he didn’t think he was capable of. He was shifting into his higher form!Airoh was never aware that he possessed this kind of ability. His raven black hair slowly turned platinum white, and it grew longer to his waist.He held his temple because he felt the pressure was too painful to bear. He was startled when he felt something in his head, a crown! A royal headband, a gold diadem with a sun emblem.His golden eyes were more vibrant than before, and he couldn’t fathom his raw
The Hidden Realm Chapter 75 – DEATH
THE KING’S vision went blurry while trying to catch his breath. He witnessed his companions fall one by one. The chaos went still. Even the blazing giant targeted Zuaine’s winged warriors.Four among the eight High Sentinels were defeated. Their bloody bodies fell to the ground as well, regressing.Yerie… please let my companions live…and my queen… His eyes were dark with desolation as he tightly embraced Rieska. They were both lying on the surface. The Ebryaeans warriors surrounded them, fighting the enemies and holding the line.Sorath…give me enough power to fight. Airoh called for his deity again. He trusted his great ancestor that he wouldn’t let him down.But Sorath failed to help him this time. He didn’t feel his presence despite calling him many times. His heart was beating low. Then slower until his body felt numb.
The Hidden Realm Chapter 74 – WIN OR LOSE
“YOU’RE a fool, Airoh. Even if you find a way to snatch away your queen, she will not wake up unless she is freed under my power. You know my gift. I’m the only one who can wield the magic of unhealing.” Esdras proudly said. “Bring her back to me!” the king’s voice echoed. But it was toned down by the clashing weapons and magic around. Esdras laughed hysterically. He widely spread his arms, and suddenly they were all surrounded by the red smoke. “I’m tired of playing around. Any last words from you?” Esdras looked at each face of the king’s companions. Esdras was surprised when a blue and yellow light appeared coming from the sky. Zuaine just transformed into her other form. Her wings were like the Phoenix—blue, orange, and yellow. She let out a loud whistle in the air. Then a group of winged faeries suddenly came. Esdras shook his head. But he couldn’t hide his surprise when the stars in the sky moved. Ev
The Hidden Realm Chapter 73 – CHAOS
THERE was a complete disorder when Airoh released his black fire. Even Zenus did not hesitate to unleash his hellfire coming from his twin swords. Both of them were on Rieska’s side to get her and attempted to run, but they couldn’t make her move even an inch. The magic inside Rieska’s body was stronger than they expected.Furcas attacked them. He released his dark wind magic, which they quickly blocked. Airoh was not new to his sorcery. Any living being in contact with his dark air would suffer extreme torture from the mind.Shax and Lahash helped Furcas to attack them. But Airoh and Zenus dodged their magic aggression.On the other side, Esdras just stood like a spectator. He looked unbothered by what was happening.Everyone on Airoh’s team finally appeared from their hiding place. Some fought on the ground, and others, above, a few gathered around the queen.Although they were severely ou
The Hidden Realm Chapter 72 – RITUAL
EVERYONE strolled up at their fastest pace carefully. The higher the elevation, the way went harder, especially the temperature became hotter, and they could only use minimal magic to protect themselves without activating the runes. They couldn’t count the numbers of Shadows killed going up.When they reached the last part of the labyrinth a few kilometers away from the fortress, they had encountered stronger Shadows.The fight was risky. Two of the enemies almost escaped calling for reinforcements. But Zenus acted fast. His two swords had hit the necks of the Shadows then Airoh quickly burned their dead bodies to ash.They swiftly strolled up until they arrived at the foot of the two colossal watchtowers. The place was full of debris, large rocks, and other materials. Rieska had done these terrible damages. Airoh found himself smiling lightly. He knew his queen would never give up without a fight.In the

ALONG with Branigan and Enkille, the king went to Penrith—the town near the border of Cerrathien and Eriraseth. Two days of searching were done, and they couldn’t find a single trace where the queen was taken. There were no clues left in Cerrathien, the Capital City of Muhler seemed deserted.Airoh asked a handful of peasants during his search. They were in hiding, and their body trembled to see him, thinking he was an enemy. But found a ray of hope the moment he introduced himself. However, they didn’t know the whereabouts of the new Emperor. One thing was sure; the war had begun in Muhler when Esdras forcibly took the throne.Harewyn greeted them when they reached an abandoned building. “Thanks to Yerie, we are all safe!”Everyone around acknowledged the king. He checked his subordinates one by one. Thankfully, they all looked good. On the right side, Blythe’s team stood, still had snow traces on
The Hidden Realm Chapter 70 – THE EMPIRE
MUHLER lived in tranquility in the past. The night here was spectacular, full of life. There were never-ending festivals in every corner in honor of their different deities. Faeries danced and laughed under the music. But now, the place seemed to weep. Esdras turned this part of the Empire into hell. Almost every corner blazed a fire, and the ashes scattered in the air.He remembered there was a thick forest nearby but gone now. All that was left were the barren land where trees and plants were dried. The small community near the Southern Gate looked like a ghost town. The residential dwellings were all abandoned and destroyed.They had seen other groups of warriors under the possession of the Kaluwahs. They were not considered faeries now, but demons. The price must be really high when Esdras sold himself to Luxus because the demon lord could only take over into the body and mind of a faerie if one bore extreme hatred. The reason why Luxus
The Hidden Realm Chapter 69 – ENTRY
THE KING gathered everyone in the war room, the special command center inside the palace. The various maps of Alegerio, Erganiv, and Muhler were set up, and the miniatures of warriors neatly placed on the map rested on the huge rectangular table. Each group of replicas represented their flag color. Even the aerial armies were visible on the map, floating few centimeters above. They looked real, holding their weapons, but only on a small scale.Everybody was seated beside the table, aside from Elida, which the king ordered to rest in her room. He knew she had a lot of questions in mind, but he couldn’t waste more time. The clock was ticking, and the more he slacked off, the queen’s life would be threatened in the hands of Esdras.Airoh calmed himself when his heart beat faster than usual. He couldn’t be impatient; one wrong move would lead everyone to a trap.The strategies were carefully formed. Zenus helped him expl
