Still, that didn’t at all stop Kal from going ahead to sneak into Hurai’s room like a breeze in the wind.Unlatching the closed window was easy, as he appeared inside the room faster than the knights around could spot him.Looking around the room he was slightly surprised to see Hurai face down on her bed, in a way that showed that she was fast asleep.Knowing her, Kal had been sure that she would at least be awake mourning her maid.Curious, he walked closer to the right side of the bed away from the window he came in through, where her body was turned to.The moment he got to her, he wasn’t particularly surprised to see her face drenched in tears with slightly puffy eyes that showed that she had cried herself to sleep.“Hey…” he whispered close to her ears, watching her continue to sleep regardless of his subtle way of trying to wake her up.“Hey…” he whispered again in a slightly louder tone, pushing softly against her shoulders when he die so.He couldn’t wait for her to wake up an
“Move. I don’t have the patience to deal with you today,” Kal ordered moving forward to step past Allen, determined to no longer pay him any more attention, only to feel the sharp movements of the wind to his left side, one that instantly made him dart blink away the next second.“You’re fast,” Allen commented, flinging the sword from side to side in such a way that showed that he had only just swung it in Kal’s direction and was prepared to finish what he started.“Fight me…Prince Kal,” Allen said in a slightly commanding tone, one that did nothing but grate on Kal’s nerves as he stared at the proud night in front of him who dared to get in a fighting position.It was obvious to even Kal, that the last thing he should do was injure Allen, Hurai’s knight especially after Rena just died. A fact that Kal was sure that Allen was aware of.With a fierce determination in his eyes, Allen darted forward swinging his sword strongly at Kal with all his might, not at all holding back a single bi
Mainly cause of the events of the day before, because of the death of Rena, Hurai’s maid, security had doubled and tightened even more than King Horansi planned.To him, that was a sign or a warning that the ceremony that was going to take place was in danger of being attacked.This was why, the next day he summoned Hurai and Fera to his quarters the second the day brightened up even before any of them had breakfast. For darun, he could always speak to him whenever he wanted.King Horansi was sitting behind his table with some paper in front of him when he watched his daughters walk in followed by the Knight he had sent to get the both of them.“Leave..” King Horansi ordered not at all in the mood for formalities, as he watched the knight about to drop to his knees and pay homage to him like his personal knights were required to.“Sit…” he again ordered inspecting each of them, as they formally looked up from their previously bowed position to sit on the two chairs directly opposite th
Unknown to anyone but his closest council members, he had contacted the kingdom of Elfina for an alliance, one that he was willing to stand by, if it meant that they could destroy the kingdom of Blodinek, once and for all. He knew he made a mistake by allying himself with his strongest enemy, one that spurred him to attack another kingdom and dragged them into a war he never wanted.The more he investigated the events that happened at the arena, the more certain he was that King Locan had more to do with it than he let on.“I just need to ensure that the witches don’t betray me and all should be fine,” King Horansi thought, going back to read the papers in front of him, while thinking of his next session with Darun which was tonight.He couldn’t wait until after the ceremony which would be too busy for him to meet him, considering the fact that he felt more pent up than ever, even when he continued to visit Mayory, Hurai, and Fera’s mother who everyone thought was dead.Horansi contin
“So when I tell you that I didn’t kill your maid, you should believe me. When I tell you I’ll kill your knight instead, you should also believe me,” Fera said in such a sudden and unexpected way that for a few seconds, Hurai felt like Fera had dropped a bomb that had completely stunned her.“I don’t believe you,” was Hurai’s response.If Fera could openly threaten her knight, what's stopping her from killing a maid even though she said she didn’t?“Well I don’t care…” Fera replied, before going ahead to increase her pace, making it clear that she wanted to put more space between her and Hurai, even though Hurai was determined not to let her as she also went ahead to increase her own pace.“Are you going to do as father asked?” Hurai softly asked, doing her best to lower her tone as much as she was able to, not wanting even the guards behind them to hear, especially since any of them could be one of their father’s spies.“I should be the one asking you that question. You always say you
Even her swordsmanship was still pretty basic, Hurai thought to herself, one that put a sad expression on her face.“Let's talk about the work for today,” Sheila finally spoke again, sending an even more intense glare at Xena almost like she was warning her not to sprout any more nonsense.Xena and Hurai understood that it wasn’t like Sheila didn't want to talk about Rena but more like she wanted to distract herself with work, considering that even with how grumpy she was with her, Sheila was the closest person to her.“We might as well begin,” Hurai sighed already seeing how stressful and tiring the rest of the day was going to be.“Good we’ll start with a herbal bath,” Sheila said not surprised to already see Hurai shaking her head from side to side.“I’ve already taken my bath,“You’ll be having three other baths, Princess Hurai,” Sheila replied with a soft smile on her face. The determined look in her eyes was clear for all to see.“The earlier we start the faster we can finish,” X
“It's the beginning of a new time,” Hurai thought to herself, realizing that after that day, she would no longer be completely weak again. Not only that she would also get a constant companion in the form of her wolf.“It's almost time,” Sheila pointed out, shifting her gaze from Xena to Hurai, especially since the both of them looked somewhat distracted, which meant it was up to her to always be mindful and aware of the time.At Sheila’s statement, Hurai couldn’t help but frown a little as she recalled that Allen was meant to lead her to the ceremony.The last time she had called for him, not only had he not shown up but she also hadn’t seen any signs of him even after asking his fellow knights for his whereabouts.Sharp as ever, Sheila instantly noticed the reason for the slight frown that creased over Hurai’s beautiful features.“I think you should forget about him and allow another knight to lead you to the ceremony,” Sheila advised but she had barely finished speaking when a loud
Of course, he was aware of all that had happened a minute ago and he was well aware of most things that went on in the princess's room but like the loyal guard that he was, he knew it was none of his business.Anything apart from protecting her wasn’t something he should concern himself with, Dari thought while staring at Allen with a slight tint of disapproval in his eyes.He couldn’t help but wonder why Allen couldn’t also do that as he watched him grit his teeth in anger, and walk towards him to stand beside him in silence, even if he could feel the boiling anger he felt coming off him in waves. Fera on the other hand stared at her reflection in the mirror, satisfied at the blood-red gown she wore since it matched the small red crown that had been fixed to her head.It was taboo for anyone to wear a crown where the king was, especially since he would be wearing his own, but Fera had specially gotten permission from Horansi himself.Stating the fact that she needed it, if she was go
"As long as she's still breathing she'll be fine," Lozia said but Hurai simply shook her head, doing her best to stop the tears that had pooled in her eyes from sliding out and down her cheeks."She is dying." Hurai thought, knowing enough to know that her injuries were too severe for her to live with no doctor in sight.*******************The Alliance Ball.The ball had been publicized for weeks and the venue was set for the huge palace in the valley forest.Everyone was invited and the hall was peacefully divided into three, one for each Kingdom.**************On the far left- The Kingdom of Lunera."Who has ever heard of a female king? Women are Luna's and they've always been,""That's not the worst. I heard that she wasn't even the one that killed the former king, her father,""What's worse is the fact that Our King felt the need to collude with our long enemies the vampires, in this sham of an alliance,""That's not even why I came. I came because I heard that the prince is stil
Just because he could no longer transform in the meantime, didn't mean he was completely helpless, even though being in wolf form was more advantageous."Talking about killing me right to my face," Horansi fiercely glared at them all as he spoke."Then you should all continue the conversation in the afterlife,"The moment Horansi was done talking and no longer saw any reason to continue, he gripped his sword as hard as he could and he attacked.Without hesitating or showing a trace of fear on his face. He picked up one of the two swords on the ground and Instantly moved toward Horansi as he attacked.Hurai was still pissed off at Allen's actions of hurting Fera, but she was also thankful for his presence. Without him, both of them would surely have been dead.As quickly as she could, Hurai dressed up Fera's wounds by merely wrapping a piece of cloth around her wounds, which was the best she could do for her at that moment."We can't allow Allen to kill the King," Fera whispered into Hu
Yes, her wolf was almost as big as her father's own but he also had way more experience than her in fighting in wolf form.Hurai also didn't just stay at the side watching the fight, the moment she saw Horansi attack, and the fact that Fera was immediately in danger, she instantly ran to help.Still, Hurai's presence didn't make much of a difference as he easily overpowered the two of them, biting and clawing at them both until their furs were covered in blood.He would have surely continued if he didn't suddenly notice that something was off, which was why he suddenly backed off.Fera’s wolf was a mess. Hurai was also slightly injured, but Fera got the brunt of it.Horansi couldn't outright communicate in his wolf form using words but when he growled at them as loudly as he could with a vicious sneer, Fera knew he already noticed what she had used on him."Wolf's bane," Horansi thought, getting more furious with each second that passed, as he felt his connection to his wolf slightly w
Yes, he was there to kill them but that didn't mean that he had the intention of killing them instantly since he realized that there was no benefit in keeping them alive, but hearing what Fera called him, he saw red and had the urge to end her life that very moment."You're a coward…" Fera instantly continued completely ignoring the expression of rage on Horsnsi's face to say all she could before he could close enough to unleash the full extent of the murderous aura he was already releasing around him."You call yourself king and you need to bring this many knights along just to capture two women…" Fera yelled loud enough for the knights to hear even as Hurai who stood beside her with Mayory still on her back, began to wonder what she was up to."The only meaning is that you're scared that you're not strong enough to do it yourself," She had only finished talking when she watched King Horansi jump off his horse the next second with an expression of rage on his face wine that instantly
Kal expression instantly changed to a largely pissed-off one, as he finally realized what the burning spin he felt in his shoulder meant.Losing his arm wasn't a big deal and he felt that as long as he drank enough blood, he would be able to regrow it, only to find out that because of Locan's actions he would never be able to.Still deeply angered in his heart, but with a mildly calm expression on his face, Kal slowly walked forward coming to a stop right in front of Locan, gripping Locan's sword in his hand."Don't worry, I'm sure…" Locan began talking, but even before he was halfway done, Kal moved his hand, slashing his head cleanly off his neck in one big movement, watching him plop heavily the ground as his blood littered the floor.The silence in the room was palpable. Geran would have made one of his many jokes, but he knew that the atmosphere wasn't right for it, especially since the king just died, and the new king, was truly going to be a one-armed one.Geran could only sigh
"Clang…" their swords met again and Kal couldn't help but grit his teeth in pain and alarm, shocked and trying to comprehend where King Locsn got the strength he had suddenly used on him."You look surprised," King Locan said with a big smirk on his face as he instantly attacked Kal with the same strength as the one he used before, not surprised to see Kal barely defend it as his sword arm got a deep dash for his incompetence.Watching on the sidelines, even Geran was shocked since he couldn't understand what was suddenly happening to Kal, who suddenly seemed much weaker than King Locan compared to before."Swish…swish…slash," Blood splintered out of the gaping hole in Kal's left arm where it was supposed to be, with King Locan making a show of wiping his face that had been coated with elven blood on his sword with relish."I'm going to enjoy watching you die," Locan said to Kal with a big smile on his face, digging his hands into his shirt and bringing out the necklace underneath it,
At that point, he couldn't help it, as he opened his mouth to call out Kal's name without even bothering to defend himself.If he was going to die, then they might as well do it together, German thought.But he had only just opened his mouth to call out when he suddenly felt King Locan come to a stop in front of him, watching as a red substance slowly dripped down his head as he struggled to wipe it off."WH…WHAT'S THIS?" King Locan yelled in anger shocked at the stickiness of whatever was on his face, only managing to wipe off enough of the burning substance from his face in a way that wouldn't obstruct his vision as he quickly looked around to see his attacker, confident that Geran who he had been on the verge of killing couldn't have been the one by attacking him in such a manner."WHO IS IT?" He yelled at the top of his voice prepared to transform at any moment to finish with the new attacker and Geran who stood in front of him with a smug expression on his face."COME OUT!" He yel
A few seconds of silence passed by, when King Locan finally noticed Geran's strange manner of not responding to any of what he said."What's…." He opened his mouth to speak, while lifting his head up from what he had been staring at on the table when he suddenly saw a dagger flying straight at him, aimed at his head."That counts as an attack right," Geran thought to himself, even as he watched King Locan fly into a rage the next moment.He pushed his table aside, and grabbed his sword beside him with lightning speed as he glared heavily at Geran with eyes that showed their intention to kill."You attacked me…" King Locan stated in a calm and reserved manner, one Geran was sure was simply a mask for the boiling anger he currently felt as he slid his sword out of its sheathe.Geran said nothing and simply counted down the seconds to when Kal was supposed to appear, even as he gripped his sword tightly in his arm, while giving King Locan his entire attention, knowing that a simple mistak
"I don't believe it. It's impossible to get. They rarely show themselves. It would take years before…." "I already got some…" Kal replied chuckling a little at the exaggerated expression on Geran'd face when he spoke."How? How much of your soul did you have to sell to get it? You know it has to belong to at least a high elf right and they hide like their lives depend on it," Geran said to Kal, even as he continued to stare at him with a disbelieving expression on his face."Show me…""Really?" Kal asked with both his eyebrows raised, clearly surprised at Geran's requests especially since the elven blood was deadly to vampires even on sight."At least tell me how you got it," Geran said with a clearly dissatisfied expression on his face."Let's just say that the kingdom of Elfina has a slight Elven trouble," Kal instantly replied, before making it known that he no longer wanted to discuss it, as he went ahead to move the topic of discussion somewhere else."We need to do it as soon as
