Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 24 - Danger Dagger
series of loud crashes thundered the wilds giving me a shock. I was awakened all of a sudden by the booming sounds. When I woke up, I realized I was alone in the dark inside a small tent made by the male echelons. "Shit, did they leave me?" I panicked, who would not? I have no idea what to do here without them. Nathalia and Corinthians have been with me lately, so now that they're not with me I feel so alone. I squinted my eyes, the surroundings were dark and I was really alone. "Prince Zavan?" I stood up, I even jumped more to make sure I was awake. And when I made sure I was awake, I nervously stepped out of the little tent I had just slept in. "Did the prince left me?" I suddenly asked as if I'm talking to somebody. I roamed my eyes, there was really no one. I hope this is just a dream. Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, they left me! I have to chase them! I have to look for the Prince. Why did I even fall asleep at times like this? When I need to sleep I can't, but when I need to be so active
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 25 - Saving Him
AT would you do if the people who caused you to fight were suddenly the people who's going against you? This situation is so hard for me. Never in my life I'd thought that this situation will happen unknowingly. I joined the search to feed my grandmother and take the homeless people out in the first district. And I don't know what I would do anymore when I saw Marcus with the paupers earlier. Why would Zandrus take the poor of the First District? Could he have known that's where I came from and this is my weakness?But there is only one I hold on to. Marcus is here to pick me up and not to harm my companions. I’ve been with these persons for a short period of time but I can’t forgive myself when something bad happens to them."Hey naive girl, are you okay?" The prince asked me. I was a little surprised when I looked back at him because he seemed to have been watching me for a while."Is all our equipment poisonous?" I asked instead. In the middle of the dark and cold night we walk awa
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 26 - Kiss
'ZAVAN!' I gasped even more after I remembered the things my grandmother had told me. After all it was fairytale to me back then, I didn't know that such fairytale exist in a harder situation and unexpected time. Though short of breath, I dive into the very deep water and strained to reach Zavan.Time became slow, Zavan became even more difficult to reach. It was unconscious as he was being carried by two mermaids who's constantly moving away from me. Good thing I brought my weapons with me. Though with great difficulty, I took a bow and pointed it at a siren.I aimed my bow and arrow. The movement of the arrow under the water was slow, but the red liquid filled the mermaid after I hit it. They also have blood. The other mermaid seemed to be scared so it swam away from me. Before it could call some of its companions, I took that opportunity to pick up the unconscious Prince.If I'm an opportunist, this would be history. Who would have thought that a beggar like mine would save a resp
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 27 - Hug
"Why aren't you talking?"I don’t know what I’m going to do at this time. The former intense feeling I feel when I am with the Prince seems to have increased even more. I didn't expect him to kiss me especially three more times, so I'm almost ignoring him."I'm talking to you, why aren't you talking to me?" Said the Prince. I was surprised when he suddenly appeared in front of me with a frown. "You've been like this since I kissed you, what's wrong?" he questioned. I immediately looked away. Doesn't he know how to say things slowly? I was even more embarrassed because he seemed to remind me of that thing."Are you shy?" He asked once again. Instead of answering him, I continued walking and passed him. I can't talk to the Prince now, shame engulfs me.Why did that even happen?"Are you gonna keep ignoring me?" Please Zavan, my heart is pounding. Get away from me or I'll explode in embarrassment.I accelerated my walk even more. But his steps were so much bigger than mine that I didn'
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 28 - His Smile
ZAVAN closed his eyes.From behind I could see the snake approaching quickly. Zavan was still clinging as the head of the huge snake slowly approached us."Z-zavan!" I whispered. But he still closed his eyes, I was a little nervous to see that we were surrounded by a huge snake. It looks like it intends to squeeze us after eating."Zavan? Zavan what are you doing?" I was nervous to even talk. He didn’t respond, instead he held my hand tightly making sure I wouldn’t let go of him.I cried out in shock when suddenly a sharp lightning drew in the sky. The sky was not dark, there was no warning of rain, but sharp and successive lightning flashes continued to create noise through thunder.Is the Prince doing this?I don’t know what Zavan’s plan is but I trust him. I followed the snake's gaze. The snake's head stopped behind me, literally raising my hairs for fear of suddenly opening its enlarged mouth. The dazzling lightning again created a deafening sound."Zavan!" I whispered loudly. I d
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 29 - His Name
BEAUTIFUL moments happens in an unexpected time and place. It never occurred to me that I would speak to a nobleman, nor did I ever dream that I would speak to a prince. Everything happening now is far from my expectations, but I can’t deny I like what’s happening now as well.The prince and I continued to look for the remaining stones. What has changed is that my relationship with the prince has become easier and I am now talking to him casually. Though I’m still a bit shy, that no longer caused me to avoid the prince again."Chrysler gave me a signal. He and Nathalia found two stones, same with Greyson. Corinthians got injured so he can only find one more stone. All in all I have the perception that we're going to win this search." The prince said in the middle of our walk."I haven't found anything yet."Zavan looked at me."Well, you can always have my precious stones." He said. I shook in response, "You worked hard on that, I'll find it too. I won't stop." I replied instead."We
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 30 - Feelings
I WAS IMPRESSED by the Prince's unique name. Not only is his name just Zavan, his name is also unique like him.That case sounded feminine to me."Don't you dare take anything from anyone aside from me." Poor Prince threatening me. I simply turned to him while smiling.Is he jealous? I hid Zavan's compass in my pocket. After a few minutes of waiting Greyson arrived while cuddling Corinthians."Where is Nathalia? Don't they have a Chrysler yet? Corinthians' wound needs to be treated right away." Greyson was worried after dropping the bloody Corinthians.We immediately approached them. I support Corinthians to sit properly. I saw the cut on her leg and I felt how painful it was. It can kill someone without training. That is why it is amazing what they went through and trained in the past to cope with this situation today. The cut came from above Corinthians' left knee down to her leg. It was long and big, it would fit my hand if I put it in there. And the more I see that the more I feel
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 31 - Dangerous Situation
I LOOKED at the big rock in front of me. My tears flowed as the prince disappeared from my sight. My breathing was slow but strong, sympathizing with the unpleasant feeling around. I looked at Corinthians who was now blindfolded and continuing to weaken because of her wound. My eyes focused on Greyson. He fell to the ground and seemed weak as well. What's going on with him? He has been fine lately."Why didn't you tell them Grey?" Corinthians asked weakly."Tell them what?" Answered Greyson."Your injury is bigger than mine. You feel more pain than me, why didn't you tell the Prince? Why didn't you tell Nathalia so she could treat you? Why?" Corinthians' voice grew weaker, as if she was just trying to speak in the midst of the hardship she was going through."I'm fine." Now I can hear the faintness in Greyson's voice."No you're not. Fray died, Fray f*cking died! How dare you!"I gasped. The world I live in seems to have stopped after what Corinthians said. The formerly quiet Corinth

Zalistaír Vandross Magnaté CaésarWe only have a few days left before the search, and my team is a whole mess. I am somehow worried because Zandrus' group is well set up while my group is in trouble. We sent the officials to the districts to get someone to help us, but they haven't arrived yet, which is why my group is still confused."Prince, we need to talk to you." Greyson suddenly entered Princess Zavannah's room, which I was in. I nodded and planted a kiss on Zavannah's forehead before leaving. There isn't a day that I don't visit her; it's been years since she fell asleep after the fall of Luciano Ferrero. I was still young then, so I don't know what really happened. There was chaos in the palace; the brave Ferrero died, and my brother never woke up again. Now we only have the stones as our hope—to wake the princess, to free the kingdom from crisis, and for me to get the throne.We have arrived at the old haunted storage room; the group is already there except for Chrysler, for
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 59 - Together
Chapter 59I still remember a saying from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."A year ago, I was a hopeless and lifeless person. It was so hard for me to live. The life I had was not ordinary, and everyone saw that. Since I was young, I used to be alone. Until Marcus and Laura came, they were the only ones who made friends with me—no one else. I thought my life would be forever a mess; I can't see any path, so I don't know where I'm going. Until something happened, which led the way for me to become stronger, braver, fiercer, bolder, and more dauntless.The search happened; it turned out to be the search for the beryl and the search for me, and I left a trail. I realized that life is not about what will happen to you but what you do that will happen to you. We choose, we determine, and we live our own destiny. I was the negative yet brave girl, so my life was also negative. I was lost in an unknown place where I
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 58 - Her Story
CHAPTER 58A MONTH HAD PASSED. The houses of the paupers were built and established. I have no news from the palace either. Maybe everyone has been busy because of their duties. It's funny; people didn't laugh at me in the first district. They chose me as their mayor, but they call me commander instead. Until I played it. I have been in charge of the first district, and the place they used to trample on has been settled.The first and second districts became good friends; the barriers between neighboring areas are gone. But the status is still not lost; the elite and paupers still can't live together. Maybe there is nothing I can do there, but at least the friendship between the districts will grow. There are no more poor people in the Euphrates; everyone has their own place to live, including us."Mr. Rody, how is your garden?" I shouted at the farmer."Good day, commander! The rice fields are fine; this Elmer has grown his corn!""You can visit there, Commander! Don't worry, the cor
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 57 - Back To The Beginning
CHAPTER 57What I did was spread fast in the first district. That's why I was surprised when I was greeted by the warm music of the poor people there. All the sentries I passed at each gate saluted me. Those in the second district couldn't be found; they just silently watched me pass by their place.I don't know who made the announcement, but far away I heard loud shouts, clapping, the sound of trumpets, and the beating of drums. I smiled when I saw the people on the streets; the palace moved quickly because someone was already building houses there for the people.They fulfilled their promises. A poor man grabbed me from the carriage and put me on his back; then they jumped down and carried me. These people, I love it! I feel like I've won the lottery or an election; there's nothing more fun than what I feel when I see those who used to be sad on the streets now having fun because everyone has a house."FOR VELURIYA!""FOR VELURIYA!"I burst out laughing. That's what they call my nam
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 56 - Leaving
CHAPTER 56All of them were speechless because of what I said."You are selfless, as ever." The Queen's voice prevailed in the room we were in. Her footsteps echoed as she made her way to my seat. The upper echelons, including the princess, gave way for the queen to reach me. "Can't you change your mind?" she asked.I shook my head, my tears falling spontaneously. If it had been possible to rush, I would have done it, but I understand that his decision to forget me and Zavan is for everyone as well."You want to use your stone for the first district?"I nodded. She sighed, "You can hope. We'll work hard to give the homeless people a shelter."I felt happy because those on the streets, including us, would finally have a place to live. I will not stay in the palace; I will go back to Lola and Laura. I will try to forget everything, just like they tried to forget me and Zavan."Everyone in the first district will live happily again," said the Queen. "Maximus said that the people there li
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 55 - Request
CHAPTER 55The prince is recovering in his room as the upper echelons, including myself, are summoned for our requests. The prince was so weak, he was lifeless. Until now, my tears have not stopped pouring. How is this all happening to us? What did I do wrong that I deserve to suffer this much?I was never a survivor of happiness or love. What exactly is wrong with me? I was deprived of meeting my real family; they were erased from my memory. It was only Manang Omeng who removed my memories, but I still had a hard time remembering them. What about the prince? He was surrounded by elders, and no chant could break the spell they put on him.I'm broken; the prince had forgotten about me. I can't even stand properly because of my weakness, so I remained seated while facing the void. I couldn't think clearly, and after the incident, I didn't speak anymore. Life is so cruel; why does life seem so angry with me? Am I that bad to suffer like this?"Beryl..." Corinthians called. I almost forgo
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 54 - Losing Memories
CHAPTER 54"WHO ARE YOU?"I frowned because of Zavan's question to me. I slapped his arm and said, "You're not funny." I forced a laugh as I had said those words.He laughed at me and faced me again: "I'm not kidding, who are you?"I stopped laughing. My knees shook when I noticed that I was slowly disappearing. It's not Zavan who's missing, but me. What is it?"Za-Zavan?" I asked nervously."Who are you?" he asked again. His expression was blank, and my heart was breaking because of what was happening."Zavan!" I called because I was disappearing and he was becoming a blur in my sight. "NO!"The scream slowly entered my brain. Zavan's voice sounded like he was struggling. What was happening was very blurry, and after I screamed, I heard his voice.I heard a loud bang that woke me from my sleep. "Oh sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!" It was a nightmare! I had a nightmare!It rattled outside again. I quickly got up, stood up, and hid in the back of my room. I made sure I was awake because maybe this w
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 53 - Trust
CHAPTER 53I was supposed to be immune to the pain; I shouldn't feel anything anymore, so I don't know how I felt the prince's presence at that time."Hush, you'll be fine, precious."That was the only thing I was holding on to at that time—that I would be safe in his arms despite the hardships I was going through."How dare you, Maximus?" said Zavan. "I've heard everything, and you will pay for it."I seem to have been revived by hope. They came before my death; at least it wasn't too late. I have done justice to my father as well as my mother. I protected the Euphrates from the hands of Maximus, and I still triumphed in spite of everything. It's not too bad to die to end all this; I'm having too much trouble... I can't take it anymore."Don't you dare die, Beryl? It is a command," whispered Zavan.I don't even know what happened next. I only felt two drops of hot tears on my cheeks and a long kiss on my lips before I finally took my breath away."I love you..."I feel that someone i
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 52 - Last Moments
CHAPTER 52"Because you are Lucianno Ferrero's daughter,"What Maximus said ran through my mind over and over again. I tried to understand everything; I was about to explode, not only my body but also my brain."You're an animal!" I screamed and lost my mind. "You have no shame! What have you done to my father?""Do you want to know the true story of your life? I know your story better than you, Ferrero." He said.I cried again while crawling on the floor. Is this as hard as most people say it is? It's not only my body that feels pain but also my mood, and I think that's the most painful of all. I tried to cry while trying to fight the pain. I can't breathe anymore; my problem is increasing with every word Maximus utters. I gasped for air, but I sucked nothing. I'm just forcing myself to breathe because if I give up, I won't be able to live anymore."One night, a girl was born." Maximus began that the more I tortured, I vomited blood again, more this time. "There was no more fun that
