Hearing Prince Xavier's words, Queen Lustia neither agree nor disagree.
She doesn't want her son to go with such a dangerous group of supernatural.
However, seeing such a rare scene of Hara being tortured made her feel conflicted.
After all, Hara was also the daughter of her best friend.
"Master, let's go."
"Wait," Prince Xavier stopped him, "I have a condition,"
Lugh Tigranes grunted, "Speak!"
"I'll go with you. In return, your people won't touch my people,"
''Tch!" Raymond face was filled with displeasure.
Their lord had specifically instructed them to bring Prince Xavier at all cost.
That being said means taking Prince Xavier away was priority.
"I promise...only if your people stay put and don't try anything funny,"
"Alright,"
Prince Xavier stepped forward with indifference in his eyes. There was no fear nor anxiousness in hi
Prince Ariel rode ahead with his men, his grip on the reins tightening as they galloped toward the Sitaga Kingdom. His heart beat anxiously inside his chest with every passing second, and his mind constantly thinking of Mayonne.Was she safe? Was she scared?He gritted his teeth when he recalled his failure to protect her back at the Temple of Haguar.He had been so careless, believing that no one would dare to stir up chaos on such an important ceremony. He let his guard down and paid a price for it.She had just gone out of his room, taking care of him since she was his personal maidservant, before going back to her room. He had just laid down on the bed when suddenly, he heard a loud crash outside.The moment he dashed outside, he was stunned when he saw the bodies of his soldiers, who were guarding his door had fallen to the ground, lifeless.His eyes darted back to the culprit who was smiling smugly
The smoky area was tense as Chief Watu, bruised and battered, led Prince Ariel through the underground networks of the Sitaga Kingdom's intelligence network.After a day of hasty investigating, and sending letters to the hidden spies in the Sitaga Kingdom, they finally found out.

There really is something else behind the play.He didn't wait for dawn and rode through the night at full speed along with his men.However, what awaited him at the gates of the Haguar Kingdom was nothing good.Prince Ariel stopped his horse as his men followed suits. His heart ached when he saw the worn-out Mayonne behind the evil rogue wolf.Clenching his jaw, his gaze swept over the people a few meters away in front of him.The King of Sitaga Kingdom, King Pose Napo, stood with ruthlessness in his old eyes. His armour was like a midnight lake reflecting the stars above, its dark blue surface s
The setting sun cast long shadows in the hallway as Chihara dragged her tired feet up the stairs. “I’m home!” she called out, her voice echoing faintly in the quiet house.The hallway was adorned with a gallery of family photos—each frame capturing a moment of shared joy and warmth. A faded tapestry of memories hung on the walls, giving the house a lived-in, nostalgic feel. The light from the setting sun filtered through the lace curtains, creating a warm, golden hue that bathed the space in a comforting glow.Her mom, Adelia Joy, emerged from the kitchen, an apron tied around her waist. The apron was decorated with cheerful, multicolored flowers that seemed to match the vibrant and welcoming ambiance of the kitchen. Adelia wielded a spatula with practiced ease, the aroma of a home-cooked meal wafting through the air.“Welcome back, honey! Are you hungry?” she asked with a radiant smile that could brighten the dullest of days.“No, Mommy. I’m tired. I’m going to take a nap first,” Chih
As they approached the sleek, black sedan waiting at the curb, Bella pulled out her phone and squinted at the screen to check the time. The car’s polished surface gleamed under the streetlights, reflecting the neon glow from the nearby shops.“Hara, are you sure you don’t need a last-minute touch-up? You look like you’re about to fall asleep,” Bella said, her voice laced with concern as she adjusted the strap of her stylish clutch.Hara let out an exasperated sigh. “I’m fine. I’ve been ready for the past twenty minutes. It’s not my fault you’re always late.” She shifted her weight from one foot to the other, the soft rustle of her dress brushing against her legs.Bella shot her a playful glare. “Excuse me, but you were the one who took forever deciding which shoes to wear. I only had to wait because you couldn’t make up your mind.”Hara folded her arms defensively, her eyes narrowing. “Oh, please. I was trying to look presentable. Unlike you, who’s probably been ready for hours and is
An hour later, they arrived at the castle gate.Both of them stepped out of the sleek, black car, the engine’s low rumble fading into the distance as they approached the massive, iron-clad gate. The castle loomed ahead, its towering spires piercing the cloudy evening sky. The gate was an imposing structure, adorned with intricate carvings of mythical creatures and ancient symbols that spoke of the castle’s storied history.Several guards, their uniforms crisp and polished, stood sentinel in front of the gate. Each guard was armed with a menacing rifle, their faces obscured by the harsh, flickering light of the torches that lined the entrance. Their eyes were cold and calculating, scanning each individual who approached with a predatory intensity that seemed to pierce through the dark.The guards exhibited a demeanor that was both detached and clinical. Their scrutiny extended beyond mere physical inspection; it felt as though they were assessing every hidden thought and intention, thei
“Hara… wake up…”An unfamiliar voice pierced through the haze of Hara’s deep slumber.She stirred but found herself engulfed in impenetrable darkness. Her body felt eerily cold and numb, as if she were suspended in some void.“W-who are you?” Hara’s voice wavered, barely more than a whisper in the overwhelming silence.She attempted to sit up, her movements slow and cumbersome. Despite her best efforts, the darkness remained a solid, impenetrable blanket.The situation was absurd and illogical.Yet, there was an undeniable, almost magnetic pull towards the voice.“I’m a wandering spirit, and I’ve chosen you as my host. Coincidentally, my name is also Chihara. You can call me Rara.”“What if I don’t agree?”“You can’t refuse. The Universe has decreed that I inhabit your body. I’ve been waiting for centuries to be reborn. I can’t waste any more time. I must get my revenge!”Hara’s heart pounded in her chest, confusion and dread mixing in equal measure.“What about me?” she asked, her voi
Prince Ariel took Rara’s hand, his movements graceful and deliberate. He bowed deeply, pressing a gentle kiss to the back of her hand. Rara’s cheeks flushed a rosy pink as she felt the warmth of his lips and saw the playful glint in his eyes.“May I have the honor of this dance, my Queen?”Rara nodded, her heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and anxiety. She attempted a smile, but her nerves were making her lips tremble slightly. The sudden shift in her circumstances was disorienting.Her stomach churned with nervousness as she bit her lip, trying to suppress the anxiety crawling down her spine. Her palm grew cold, and she could feel the icy sweat trickling down her back.The grand hall was alive with the soft strains of classical music. Couples danced elegantly, their movements synchronized to the melody. The room was filled with the soft rustling of fabric and the muted laughter of guests.Rara lowered her gaze, unable to muster the courage to meet Prince Ariel’s eyes. Instead,
Rara spent her afternoon engrossed in a heavy tome detailing the intricacies of Haguar’s Kingdom, currently ruled by the formidable King Magdon Lamata. Her fingers traced the ornate illustrations and maps of the realm, her eyes scanning the dense text with curiosity.From her reading, she learned that Haguar was not alone in its grandeur. Four other great kingdoms stood as equals, their power intertwined with Haguar’s.No. 5: Kaca’s Kingdom, presided over by the shrewd King Sudu Noops, a man in his sixties known for his complex personal life.First wife: Queen Pir Retaw, a stern and commanding figure in military garb, served as his military commander. She was the mother of Prince Ing Sudu.Prince Ing, with his sharp intellect, married Duchnie Blea Gin, the daughter of Duke Gin Agu, the ruler of Ginira’s Kingdom. Duchnie Blea was renowned for her grace and diplomacy. She bore Prince Ing a daughter, Princess Bliss Ing, a child admired for her beauty and poise.Second wife: Consort Ney Ye

Two weeks later.Haguar Kingdom, Royal Palace.Assistant Bear dash past the palace door and rushed into the Palace Hall where King Magdon was discussing some political affairs with his ministers.The sound of the ongoing discussion died down when they heard the hurried footsteps coming towards them.Turning their heads around to look at Assistant Bear who looks very tense with seriousness on his face makes them very curious about what had happened to barged inside the Palace Hall where an important meeting was held.King Magdon frowned upon seeing Assistant Bear rushed in without informing him in advance about his arrival.However, he held himself from chiding him upon seeing the dreadful expression on Assistant Bear's face."Assistant Bear? What's the matter?" he asked.Assistant Bear walks towards the middle of the throne and stopped below the stairs.He knelt on one knee and bowed to King Magdon with his arms in front of his chest."Your Majesty, forgive my rudeness for coming unan
Rara was about to reply when someone else beat her to it. "Shut up!" The woman who had just berated her immediately stepped back in fright as she lowered her head. Biting her lips, she clenched her hand tightly beside her as she glared at Rara's back with hatred. As the man on the throne unleashed his aura that made others inside the main hall feel a heavy pressure, Rara's face was still as calm as usual. Since they didn't chain her hand behind her, Rara managed to move her fingers and made a hand gesture. Click! In an instant, a flame of fire burns through the chain around her before it spreads throughout her entire body. The spectators who saw this gasped in shock. "Heavens! What the hell is she trying to do?" "It can't be that she wanted to blow herself up?" "Quick, stop her! We can't let her destroy our main goal today!" The man on the throne was also shocked when he saw this. He stood up and flash in front of her. He waved his hand, trying to put out the fire that engu
Meanwhile, back to Rara's current situation.When the black-clothed men brought her away, Rara didn't struggle at all.Other than to save her children, she also wants to know the mastermind who orders her capture.This is a very risky move that could endanger her life. However, knowing that the Gods wouldn't let her die no matter what happen, she took a gamble once more.Just like how her children and her life were saved even though there was a trace of dark magic inside her, she believe that the Gods would definitely help her again.Actually, this bunch of assassins was nothing in her eyes. It would be a piece of cake for her to defeat them.However, in order to see who was so daring to kidnap her under Xavier's eyes, she let them bring her further and further away from the Haguar Kingdom.On that rainy night, the assassins didn't stop even once. Maybe it was due to fear that Xavier will chase after him, but they only stopped after an hour of the journey in a small empty town."Ugh!"
When morning comes, Assistant Panda arranged for his men to buy a few carriages to bring the guard's dead bodies back to their family in the capital.After that, the whole family along with the remaining guards went back to the capital in low spirits.Laurell and Laurence had been crying for a long time since last night. They only stopped when they became tired. Given Xavier's unstable emotions, Queen Lustia and King Magdon took care of the twins.The remaining guards were told to be more cautious during the trip back to the capital. It was unknown whether the group of assassins yesterday would appear again.Looking at the pale and sickly appearance of Laurell and Laurence, Queen Lustia sighed.Both of them were unable to sleep after the commotion that happen yesterday. Their face looks forlorn and tired.They were both shocked and full of fear when they heard what happened from Xavier's mouth."Hubby, why do you think those assassins took Hara away?" Queen Lustia asked.King Magdon a
The whole Haguar Kingdom was overjoyed when they heard of the birth of the twins. To celebrate, King Magdon announced that he will hold a celebration in three months. All four kingdoms and other mid and lower kingdoms were invited. The whole palace was busy preparing for the events. Not only were they need to decorate the whole palace, but they would also need to arrange for the royal parades throughout the streets of Haguar to the Temple of Haguar. Not only that, the soldiers and royal guards were trained strictly in order to protect the royals in case of emergency. *** After preparing for three months, the day for the celebration is finally here. Royals and nobles from all over the world arrived one after another and came through the gate towards the Haguar Palace. In front of the royal palace was the palace ground that could contain thousands of people. Everyone was discussing the event and some were just catching up with their acquaintances or making connections. The royal
Six months later.Around 1 in the morning, Rara was woken up by a sudden pain in her stomach. Her grunt woke Xavier up, "Honey, what's wrong?" he stretched out his hand to switch on the light in the room."My...my stomach hurt...so much..." Rara slowly got out of bed with Xavier's help.The moment she stood up, a gush of water landed on the floor and wetted the carpet on the floor.Looking down at the puddle of water on the floor, both of them went pale in panic.Xavier immediately carried her back to bed and put her in a lying position, "Ho-honey, w-wait here...I-I'll go and call the doctors over."After that, he flashed out of the room and down the second floor where the female doctors who specialized in giving birth were staying.Knock! Knock! Knock!The harsh knocking on the door woke the doctors up from their dreams.The head doctor, Hilda Goufn, got out of bed first and tidied herself up before opening the door, "What-?" she didn't manage to get a word out of her mouth before h
