Drake returned to the place near the receiving Parlors, where he last left Nyra. He couldn't find her anywhere in the room.
He looked at a nearby winter guard and approached him.
"Where is the princess?" he asked him.
As the winter guards, they were told to keep an eye on the princess, no matter where ever she is. So obviously the guard would have known where Nyra will be. At least he could point Drake in the direction in which she went.
"Summer King Dillon took her Into the courtyard a few minutes ago" he replied with a respectful nod.
Drake nodded his thanks and walked outside into the courtyard. He saw the four guards standing there, looking at something in front of them.
They are the ones he told to take care of Nyra in his absence.
'What are they looking at? Where is Nyra? That Dillon is an asshole. What are they doing here leaving her alone with him?' Drake thought with irritation.
"Guards" he snapped at them angrily.
They
Drake cannot lead Nyra through the front door. So he used the back door, which is rarely used by servants as well. The back staircase is dark but clean.Drake can see clearly, even in darkness. He easily led Nyra through the dark staircase.Nyra stumbled over her ruined dress.Drake turned towards her.She is trying to cover her legs and chest, but still trying to walk with dignity.Drake bent down and lifted her in his arms bridal style.Nyra didn't protest at all. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and held tight.She accepted their situation. She likes him and he proved time and again that he likes her too.He would do anything for her. She understood that.Drake made sure no one is around when he carried Nyra to her room.He put her down when they reached her room and locked the door behind her.Nyra's heart is still pounding loudly with adrenaline.Her heart is yet to settle down from
Koni is determined to kill Nyra at any cost. He is planning to kill her in the welcome ball, hosted by her father to welcome her into the Fairyland.He knows a few maids and a few guards inside the palace, who would do anything for some gold coins. He decided to bribe them and enter inside the palace undetected, and kill the princess and her guard if possible.But his plans came to a standstill when he noticed four Royal guards outside his house, keeping an eye on him.'They are suspecting me?' he thought in astonishment.'It's impossible. No one knows I have another ability apart from the one I show in front of them. Good memory is his ability, which he shows in front of others. He cannot forget anything if he hears it or reads about it once. His ability to move things without touching is something he always keeps hidden. Then how did they suspect my involvement?' Koni wondered.'It's not good to be under observation by them. I need to divert their att
'How did I forget about this?' Koni thought.'Yes, they are born with a protector or soulmate. They will never be far away from them. Their protector will be somewhere near her. If this is true, then who is her protector. Her soulmate who can balance the power of the fairy fire with his own?' Koni thought.He scored his brain for the potential protector for the princess.'Someone powerful and near very near to her' he thought.Suddenly his mind went to her newly appointed bodyguard.'He is strong and powerful. Can he be her soulmate?' Koni wondered.He single-handedly defeated so many fae warriors. But he is a human. How can it be possible? Koni thought.'Is it possible that her protector still didn't find her?' Koni wondered."You don't have to worry about all that. Go and finish the work. Your 50,000 gold coins will be waiting for you" Koni told to Dhari.Dhari never doubted his ability. But after hearing after what Koni
All the guests are gathered in the ballroom, wearing their expensive clothes and jewelry. One of the guards announced the arrival of the king and the queen, at exactly 7 pm."The king of the winter realm, king Alvin is coming with the winter queen, queen Avery" the guard announced loudly.All the guests stopped what they are doing and looked towards the grand wooden double doors, carved with intricate patterns and decorated with expensive gemstones.Alvin and Avery walked through the doors hand in hand, wearing the icy blue matching outfits, which represents the Winter realm.They look regal with their crowns steadily sitting on their heads and their chin held high.Soon, Alpine's name was announced, who came in with Dale and Mason."Damn, everyone is sparkling with too many diamonds on the" Mason muttered drily.Alpine and Dale chuckled, earning a few curious glances their way."You should not be supposed to make me laugh like this. T
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
