Dhari is lurking in the shadows. No one knows of the danger in their midst. Dhari slipped inside the palace, without getting noticed by anyone.
It's one of his skills. He can get in and get out of anywhere, without being detected. He entered the palace, just before the king and queen entered the ballroom. He was waiting in the shadows, for the right moment to sneak in and kill the princess.
He is following the princess with his eyes. The man standing behind her, too close to call him just a guard.
His presence is unmissable. Power is oozing off of him in waves. He looks like he can easily snap Dhari into two pieces.
The protective way he is making sure that no one could come too close to the princess is telling Dhari, What Koni didn't.
'So the princess has a protector' Dhari understood.
'It's not possible to kill her, with her protector nearby. It's a suicide mission even to try' Dhari understood.
So he waited for the right time to kill her.
Dhari lunged towards Drake with his sword drawn.Drake was not expecting that. Dhari managed to catch Drake off guard, and as a result Drake now has a gash on the left side of his chest.The injury is deep and blood started to drip from the wound, and his dark blue shirt became darker.But what Dhari doesn't know is that Drake is a dragon, and he can heal within minutes.Dhari thought the wound would distract Drake for a minute, giving him a chance to escape. But to his shock, Drake didn't even blink despite being injured."Sir Drake" a fae warrior called Drake and passed on a sword to him.Drake didn't even turn to look at the sword, which was flying towards him, but caught it midair with precision.Dhari is now surrounded by the fae warriors. He knows the only way to escape is to injure or kill Drake.If he managed to land a killing blow on Drake, then he can escape alive, Dhari decided.It's easy to distract and kill a f
Drake and Alpine walked inside the private chambers of King Alpine.Basil was sitting beside the king and he is applying something black and thick-looking medicine on to the injury made by the poisonous blade.Queen Avery is sitting on the other side of the king and is silently crying her, holding her husband's hands.Nyra is sitting beside her mother and looking at her father's now blue skin with tears of despair.When Nyra saw Drake, her tears started to fall faster and she ran towards him.Drake is feeling really bad looking Nyra like this. He cannot see tears in her eyes. It bothers him deeply.Drake folded Nyra's trembling body into his own. He hugged her tightly, to soothe her pain a little."It's all because of me" She whispered brokenly and cried her heart out.Drake led her out of the room and towards her own. It's the middle of the night and her crying like this would make her sick. It wouldn't help King Alvin's conditi
Drake walked into the dungeons, which are dark and dimly lit. This is the place where the cruelest fae and killers are locked up. There is only one cell that is brightly lit and voices can be heard from that side.When the guard noticed Drake coming in, he stood a little straighter and opened the iron door for Drake to enter inside.Drake nodded at the guard and stepped inside the dungeon, which smells like mold and wet floors.Drake walked towards the Cell and noticed the killer tied to a chair.Dale, Mason, and a few guards are around him. His injury is now cleaned and bandaged.When Dale saw Drake, he saluted and moved aside to make a place for Drake in the cell.Dhari looked at the protector warily."What kind of poison did you use on the dagger?" Drake came straight to the point, cutting the chase off.He understood King Alvin's condition is critical and he needs answers immediately.Dhari grinned smugly.That ir
Everyone keeps addressing him as 'your highness' and It's getting on Drake's nerves. Just before leaving the dungeons, Drake nodded to Mason to follow him.Mason followed behind Drake. He can guess what his friend wanted to talk to him about. After all, this is not what they came here for. But the situation is getting out of control faster than they can handle it.When they stepped out of the Dungeon and into the empty courtyard, Drake stopped walking and turned to face Mason."I know this is not what you signed up for Mason. We are getting deeper than we are ready for. If you feel uncomfortable, then you can leave and go back home" Drake offered his good friend.Mason chuckled."Ya man. This is not what we signed up for. I know. But I don't have anyone else for myself. I only have you and your father as my family. I can't and won't leave you, man. We came together, and we will go back together" Mason said determinedly.Drake smiled at him.
"Yes" Drake agreed.Dillon nodded his head in understanding. The mature way he thought about the safety of his people and the realms is outstanding and so selfless.Dillon has new found respect for Drake. He didn't understand why so many people respect Drake so much. He understood it now perfectly.'Respect should be earned son, it's not just given looking at the crown on your head' his father used to tell him so many times.But Dillon never understood the true meaning behind those words. He always nodded his head in agreement, to sayisfy his father.'They look at my crown and they will bow to me' I always thought in my head.But I never could understand that they are bowing to the crown, but not to me as a person. After looking at Drake and the way he earned everyones respect with being humble and considerate, despite being so powerful, Dillon understood what his father truly meant.Be humble despite being powerfull. He is not rude or
There is still an hour or so left for the sunrise. Drake brought the herb he and Dillon collected from the mountains to the healers.The healers and Basil were not at all confident that Drake would be able to find the antidote. This kind of poison is rare and its antidote is scarce.So they were not at all positive that Drake might be able to find the antidote and bring it back on time.They were pleasantly surprised to find him bringing the antidote to save the King. Basil saw his dedication to save the king and the responsibility he took over on his shoulders, to catch the killer as well."Will he be fine?" Drake asked Basil, looking at the Unconscious winter king."He will be fine. You proved your loyalty time and again to the royal family. They are really lucky to find a person like you" Basil couldn't help but praise Drake."My pleasure" Drake replied politely.Alpine has tears of happiness in his eyes. Avery finally stopped crying for
Drake is dreaming about all the fae calling him 'Your highness' and he couldn't find Nyra anywhere. He is calling for her, and looking everywhere, for her, but she couldn't find her anywhere and he started to get panicked.The dream is so realistic, that he searched for Nyra beside him with his palm, and found the bed empty. The place beside him is still warm, indicating that she was here not very long time ago.Drake opened his eyes and found the bed really empty. He started to panic with fear for her safety.'Where is she?' he thought worriedly.He slipped off the bed and was about to go in search of her when the room door opened and she walked in."Baby? Where did you go? You know it is not safe to go out alone like this right?" Drake asked her worried.Nyra looked at the man, who managed to capture her heart and saved her countless times, and now he even saved her father's life.She cannot thank him enough. She owes him her life.S
Drake and Nyra are lying on her bed after their heavy make-out session. Drake doesn't want to take it any further until she could remember their past.He knows she was angry with him when she decided to come to the Fairy with her father. He knows she likes him now, but he is not sure how she would react, once remember everything.He couldn't stop himself from touching her when she is near. She is his drug, whom he is addicted to. He might not live with his daily dose of her.He really feels happy and content with her almost naked in his arms and a satisfied smile playing on her lips.Nyra has only her panties on. Drake did some pleasurable things to her body, that made her burst out with pleasure.She is currently wrapped in his arms, with her head laid on his naked torso, and her body wrapped around him.Drake is softly caressing her spine, absentmindedly.His mind is playing everything that happened on the ball. He couldn't digest th
