Koni found out that Dhari is caught. He became anxious. He is scared that Dhari would reveal about his identity.
'What if I get caught?' Koni feared.
'No, I cannot let that happen. I want that Dragon Relic. I want to feel the power it could give me. I would ask the Relic to remove my hunched back first. Then no one would call me a hunched back again. For all of that to happen, I cannot stay here. I need to escape' Koni thought desperately.
He moved the curtain from one of his front windows and peeked outside. He found the Royal guards still standing guard there. He closed the curtains back again.
'Damn it' he cursed.
He paced the length of his house with worry.
'I need to escape and I need to escape now' Koni decided.
'It doesn't much longer for Dhari to reveal everything. He hates me to his core. He will through me to those Royal Fae to save his life. I cannot trust him. I need to make a plan to escape' Koni decided.
He lo
They looked around the small modest house and looked around. They started searching the house for any clues.'He escaped' Drake is thinking since the moment he saw the lock on the door. So he decided to break in and search for anything that might lead them to Koni."Hey, look what I found" Dillon called over the others.He is standing over an ancient looking trunk, which has patterns drawn all around it. It is rectangle in shape and has a curved surface over its face."What is this?" Mason asked no one in general."Let's find out" Drake muttered and twisted the lock.The lock gave away with the applied pressure. They opened the trunk and found some scrolls in it.Each one of them picked up a different scroll and started reading."Dragon Relic" the one that Dale picked up has those words written in big bold words."Dragon Relic? I thought it's a myth" he said out loud.When Mason , Drake and Dillon heard those words, t
Drake along with Mason, Dale, Dillon along the guards reach the center of the Market area, where the Vendors are protesting for justice.They want Koni to be punished for what he did to one of their colleagues.When they saw Drake and the others, they started to protest loudly.'What a mess' Drake thought."I came here to solve your problem. Please let me know clearly what exactly happened here" Drake announced loudly for everyone to hear.Everyone stopped talking at once after Drake's declaration."Who are you? We need the king to come and solve this for us. We don't need anyone else" they answered in anger.Drake is well known in the palace. But to the winter Fae, he is a stranger. They don't know who he is. The first problem for Drake is that he needs them to trust him. Only then will they be willing to listen to him."Our king, as you all know was critically injured in the welcome ball. He is still recovering from that poison
Drake heard everything the elderly vendor said. He too agrees with what the vendor said."No one should be ever judged by their social status and the money they have. As farmers, you are the people who cultivate crops and provide food for all of us. In fact, you are the people who should be respected more than anyone else. Because none of us can do what you you can do. We don't know how to grow our own food. If it's not for you, all of us have go hungry. So you are not inferior to anyone else. You are the most important people in every kingdom. We respect you for what you give us" Drake announced loudly for everyone to hear.All the vendors clapped and cheered with happiness at this announcement."Thank you your highness, no one has ever treated us with so much respect. This is truly an honour to be treated like this" one of the elderly vendor expressed his happiness.Drake smiled at his words."I am not telling something new. Each and every word
After reaching the palace, Drake found Alpine waiting for them.Alpine heard that protests were going on in the market and Drake got hurt in the process. He started to get worried for Drake.When he finally saw Drake with some bloodstains on his left forehead, he rushed towards him to check on his wound."Oh Drake, you are injured. Oh, dear fairy goddess, who is it that dared to hurt you?" Alpine started to fuss over Drake, mostly to his amusement."I am fine, old man. Don't worry" Drake assured Alpine.Alpine looked puzzled. He can still see blood and Drake is telling him he is fine. How can it be possible? he thought."But that blood?" Alpine asked with a frown.Drake looked around and noticed that Dale is a little farther away from them, talking to the guards.Only mason and Dillon are the ones present besides Alpine."You know my healing ability is fast right? The wound is already healed." Drake assured Alpine.Th
"I will go report everything that happened today to King Alvin. He might want to know about Koni and the market issue" Drake told Alpine and the others."Ok, I will go check on our criminal in the dungeon. I will see if he knows something about where Koni might be" Mason informed Drake."Ok, don't let him know that Koni escaped. Be as discreet as possible" Drake advised Mason.Mason nodded his head in understanding."Ok," he agreed and left to do just that.Alpine is feeling heavy-hearted. He doesn't want to show his face to his brother so soon."I can't face my brother now. I will go back to my quarters" Alpine excused himself and left with a sad face.Drake looked at Dillon, who is still standing beside him.Dillon turned to face Drake when he felt his eyes on him."What?" he asked Drake defensively."What are you still doing here? Don't you have a kingdom to run?" Drake asked Dillon with his eyebrows raised in a qu
Drake smiled at Nyra, who looked worried for him.Nyra gasped when she saw his injured forehead."What happened to you?" She asked him with shock and worry.Drake touched his wound lightly."Just a small injury" he muttered.Now he is in a state of confusion. How to hide his healed injury from her? he thought.Nyra lightly touched his wounded forehead.Unknowingly, her palm started to illuminate brightly and the blood vanished from his face.Nyra's eyes widened with shock.She looked at her glowing palm and his forehead, which doesn't have any traces of injury or blood on it. As if everything disappeared as soon as her palm touched his wound.Drake looked at her wide-eyed stare."What happened?" he asked her with concern.Nyra is looking pale and she keeps looking at her palm and his injured forehead.'Is it visible that my injury is healed?' He thought worriedly.Without remembering her past,
On the other hand, when Dillon saw the princess waiting for Drake in the corridor, he was ashamed to face her again.When he remembers his behavior towards her yesterday, he couldn't force himself to face her. He acted like an asshole.He tried to force her against her will. So he silently slipped inside the King's quarters, to greet the king.His behavior towards the King is not good either. But he can at least meet him and apologize to him for the way he acted.He lightly knocked on the already open door, to alert them of his presence.King Alvin was not expecting Dillon. He was expecting Drake. But when he saw Dillon waiting near the threshold to be called inside, he is surprised."King Alvin" Dillon greeted Alvin politely."Summer King, what a pleasant surprise" Alvin greeted Dillon in a neutral tone.Dillon looked uncomfortable."Yes, I wanted to come and see how you are doing, king Alvin" Dillon confessed.Avery
After making sure Nyra is alright and is not panicking about her abilities, Drake relaxed a little.He never saw her getting this angry before. When she heard that some one injured him, she became furious.Drake knows it's the anger of Nyra combined with the fairy fire."I am alright. That boy was angry that some one from the palace slapped his father. So he did what he felt was right to avenge his father. I am not angry on him. But instead I like the courage of that boy. People needs guts to against an entire system" Drake tried to make Nyra understand.When he started explaining, Nyra relaxed a little and understood his point."I should go and meet your father. I should explain everything that happened today" Drake told Nyra, after some time.Nyra nodded her head and decided to accompany Drake.Drake and Nyra walked into the king and the queen's room. They are stunned to see Dillon already chatting with Alvin."What are you doing her
