The maid then knocked the door, entering in after she heard Shawn’s permission. With her hand in front of her waist, she announced, “The Duke have arrived back home, sir.”

Shawn looked at his mother who looked beyond joyful, “See, he arrived. I will make sure to talk to him about you,” Shawn then pushed himself from the side of the bed, making his way down the hallway and the long staircase before finding the carriage that he could see from the foyer.

In the brown carriage then walked out the old man whose face was no different than a statue. He didn’t appear similar to him at all even though they were father and son but then again the Duke didn’t look similar to Dominic either, thought Shawn. He walked forward to his father and instead of exchanging embrace as they haven’t met each other for years, Shawn had instead given him a bow akin to what a servant would do when meeting their master.

This was the preferred way of his father that the man had taught during his childhood. When

    Jeremiah had thought this was his best chance but was quickly angered when he saw the ring on her finger. Here he thought she was single but it appeared that she had been married! “Married? No,” she chuckled, her cheeks tinted in a pink color when he thought of how soon she would marry Starvos. While rubbing the red gem on her finger, she said, “I am engaged to my childhood friend. He is currently in war, however.” “Childhood friend?” Jeremiah who felt the big greed for the woman then cackled, “Is it an engagement made by your parents that you are forced to obliged?” “Ah, no?” She tilted her head, wondering why the man had come up to such a conclusion. “Indeed the engagement was made by my parents but I agreed to it. My parents are reasonable and if I had told them no they would listen to it. Though I understand how most people don’t have such a blessed parents.” Jeremiah’s face fell darker, “So you love him? That man?”Elizabeth rubbed the gem again, recalling the day where Starv

    After parting his way with Elizabeth, Jeremiah took the entire three weeks to connect with the King. Being one with a clever mouth he at once used the king’s greediness that matched with him to his advantage. He offered the king a sounding and pleasing exchange that the King agreed due to how his eyes was blinded by the wealth Jeremiah had offered. After days being with the King, the king who had taken quite a fondness on him then agreed on letting him be his closest aide until he decided to return back to Essex. Jeremiah who felt more confident than ever watched everyone bowed under him with the King and felt a surge of pleasure.

    After the incident that occurred in the mansion, the servants as well as Lady Catherine and Lord Salemn was on their toes. It was the first time for people to break into their house and it brought more terror as the people who broke in was not normal humans but the sorcerers who by all means are much stronger than he werewolves with their magic that could manipulate people and even time. Rose who had waited for a time to be alone with Dominic ate the breakfast in silence until Lady Catherine was the first to break the silence, "Whenever you are bored, Rose. Would you like to come with me to a soirée? It will be better if we could go somewhere where we could unwind and have fun with the others." "Of course, I would like that," Rose responded with a smile, quickly bringing back the tone to the breakfast to become more cheerful. "Ah, and Lady Catherine. I would like to give you back the jewelries you gave me for that night." Lady Catherine who recalled the jewelries shook her head, "N

    Rose had also guessed the same as Dominic in the beginning but much to her disappointment she had to shake her head. The king had told her that Starvos was away during the possible time when Lady Elizabeth conceived Dominic. She could tell how Dominic looked a little disappointed seeing that Starvos wasn’t his father. They both know how better it is for Starvos to be Dominic’s father as they both had seen how responsible and caring the man was. It was difficult for them not to bond with Starvos, not when the man himself treated them like their own daughter and son. Then they arrive at the final question of who could Dominic’s father be.“I would say the Duke would know who your father is,” Rose said to him as she stepped on the crunchy leaves. “If he married your mother knowing well she had you, then… it’s also possible that he knows who your father is.” Dominic looked at the sky and she could see his face that stared at the sun appeared to be in a contemplation, “I don’t want to k

    Rose went silence as it was difficult for her to speak up for another word. Seeing this Mona could tell she was extremely distressed and the woman who apprehensively tried to hold her hand decided to simply pull her hands together. She smiled, “I didn’t have the time to think about it but you do and it might made you more scared thinking about it. I mean, who would want to make a contract with a demon, right? I wouldn’t want to do that either and if I could I wouldn’t do it. But I am in the same position as you, we don’t have any other way.” “Is there really no other way at all?” Rose questioned again, “Any other way where I do not need to make a contract with the devil?” “There is a saying that beings that bring misfortune could only be exterminated with the beings from Hell. The Fallens fall in the first category as they bring misfortune to people in a form of a curse, while the beings from Hell could only be a demon. I hate to say this but I don’t think there is any other way.”

    Rose couldn’t help herself but felt a little as though her heart have sunk in a damp water hearing the name even though she had never seen the person before. “And where is this man now? The one named Isaac?” “As I said, I haven’t been in the coven for such a long time that I lack knowledge for it. I don’t know most of the people in the coven anymore. I don’t even know whether they are alive or dead,” Rose pointed out with a shrug. “But that doesn’t matter. If you do meet Isaac I can teach you of a way that will hundred person scares him away.” “What do you mean?” She questioned. “Do I need to avoid him?” “He’s known for doing anything for the master’s wish, even if it means to kill children which was why he had been kicked out of the coven,” Mona explained, “I am somewhat afraid with the idea of going to Essex to find the Master. You could by accident meet him and I know how easily jealous he would be. So it’s better to do this first!” “What..?” Rose saw as Mona pulled her sleeve

    Mona immediately shook her head and sat down again, carefully arranging herself and cool down her head. As she composed herself, she spoke, “No way, you would never be talentless. For all I can see you are talented, extremely talented even.” “Then am I not visualizing it well enough?” She put up the possibility but Mona disagreed at once. “I could feel your magic earlier from your hand but it suddenly disappeared the moment you spoke the magic spell. It’s something I ever first experience,” confessed Mona as she had never seen anyone with such a disruptive magic arrangement. She could feel such strong magic from Rose at first but that magic flow was completely gone now. “Something is off..” Mona whispered at once as she reached out her hand to hold Rose.Rose didn’t understand what happened but believed in Mona who knows it better than her. As Mona held her hand, her frown only tighten more, leaving her in confusion. “Your magic…” whispered Mona. “Something is blocking your magic.

As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now.

    The ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o

    Gallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an

    “Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre

    When Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress.

    Gallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day.

    Dominic’s silver eyes also noticed the swirl of purple glow from the black mansion and turned his head again to the view before him. “What did you and the Master talked about?” Inquired Dominic while they run through the forest. “I told him that I will do something about the demon inside Isaac if he could help me end my curse but then he surprised me by saying that he doesn’t need help.” Rose responded. “I trust him.” “I do think he is someone who wouldn’t hurt his fellow sorcerer, you weren’t wrong in trusting him,” Dominic encouraged her. “But that sound too good to be true. He always ask people for payment if he help them.” “He did ask for something, he said to continue fooling my demon, Babylion,” uttered Rose. “I asked him why and he told me so he could use Babylion to kill that ancient demon in response.”“So this entire charade is because of him.” Dominic narrowed his eyes. They can’t seem to trust the Master completely, that man would do anything if it means to fulfil his

    Shawn’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw a bright purple glow appearing from the room where the master and Isaac had fought in. As the master’s hand had been touched, Isaac had fulfilled his promise to erase the curse that plagued the Master. This should have call for a celebration regardless of the Master’s wish of never leaving the cave. But by fulfilling Isaac’s promise, the demon in him finally demanded for his reward and that reward was… for him to manifest into the world inside his body!When something suddenly clicked in his mind, Shawn bubbled out of anger.“Damn it! Damn it!” Shawn yelled, finally realizing the big mistake that he made by trusting that damn sorcerer king! He rushed out of the room, questioning everything that the sorcerer had done. He first of told him to imbue his magic on the crystal ball as if doing that would help. He said that by calming Isaac, he could convince him to drive out the demon inside. He also claimed that he wouldn’t kill Isaac thus why he had

    Rose could feel the dark magic that entered her skin, crawling in such a disgusting way that she wanted to hurl but she couldn’t. There was something that was stopping her from moving and she couldn’t understand it as it felt slightly different when compared to the demonic magic that he uses on her. “Rose, make my life more colorful, won’t you?” Whispered Babylion. “Now go and betray your beloved. I want to see his face twisting in pain. From your memories, he seemed to the most fun to mess with.” Rose wanted to say no, she wanted to yell and disagree with Babylion’s words but she couldn’t move. She then had the sudden idea to play by what Babylion wanted and nodded her head slowly, agreeing that she would betray Dominic while her eyes turning unfocused, looking exactly similar as to someone who had just been bewitched.“Good, now play with me.” Back to the present, Rose run through her thins hands between her hair and pushed the golden locks to the back of her head, she sighed hea
