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
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 32 - The Target
Chapter 32Zandrus' echelons surrounded the lone Greyson. I was devastated, I didn’t know what I was most supposed to do."Corin!"The ground where Corinthians rises higher, until it is higher than mine. I stood up and pointed my arrows at Zandrus. And then I let go of my arrow. Simultaneously with the flight of the arrow towards Zandrus I was throwing a dagger at his head. He seemed confused and surprised when I appeared."Argh f*ck!" he screamed and collapsed.I hit his hands, but he dodged my dagger and hit his forehead."Corinthians!" Greyson shouted.Everyone slowed down, I ran to the raised ground where Corinthians was because it was about to fall. I jumped with all my strength from the big stones."Corin jump, I'm going to catch you!" I shout. Before the floating ground on which she was lying collapsed, she jumped. Even though we were both struggling I jumped up and snatched Corinthians into the air. The ground collapsed at the same time as Zandrus fell into the water. Corinth
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 33 - Still safe, right?
Chapter 33My hair stood on end when I heard that. Fear gripped me, I was Zandrus' target! For real? I was stunned for a bit. If I am not in a critical situation I'd stood in shock. However, due to my situation and triggered survival instincts, I ran further.Why would Zandrus target me? I sped up my running even more. Even though I almost tripped, I just went straight to get away. No matter how hard, no matter how tired I was getting, I kept running away for my dear life."You can't go any further, the best thing is to stop!" Zandrus shouted, but I didn't listen and kept running. "Stop being stubborn! You're just tiring yourself.""Zavan..." I whispered into the air, hoping he would come and save me from Zandrus' hands. I shut my eyes for a close second to clear my vision, then I kept going."STOP!" Zandrus shouted again.I'm so tired, I'm out of breath. I can't run anymore, even if I keep running they will still catch me.So I stopped running."Zavan," I whispered into the air again
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 34 - The Seer
Chapter 34"Where— why are you stopping? Walk!" Zandrus yelled.I was surprised by him, so I didn't do anything but go straight."I'm sorry, but I really don't see a beryl." I said."Speak when you see the beryl, or I will kill this man in front of you!"I clenched my fist; I was still angry with this prince. He was so different from Zavan, so different!"Blue-green," I whispered.Gemstones are not seen casually, if not in water, in this cave, maybe even underground."Is there a volcano in the Euphrates?""What do you mean?" Zandrus asked."Beryllium is found in the mineral bertrandite, which in recent years has become a major ore of this element. Bertrandite is found in certain volcanic rocks derived from granite. So there is a big possibility that we can find beryl in a volcanic area."Zandrus was amazed at what I said. He let go of Marcus and came to me. Marcus fell on the dead leaves, but the poor people with him immediately supported him."You're a good girl; right now we're goin

Chapter 35Five seconds before he did that, I knew he was going to do that, so my avoidance was faster than everyone thought."Verulia!" Marcus shouted.I thought of nothing else but to get the beryl. But before I could reach it, the ground I was running on cracked.It was Zandrus!I jumped over the big rocks to enter the cave where the beryl was. When I turned to my right, Zandrus was already there, lifting a part of the land towards me."Oh sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!" I screamed as I got up, and it fell on my seat.But before it finally hit me, it broke into the air. I turned my back, and there was Marcus! He used the bow and arrow of an echelon to crash Zandrus' attack on me.I mouthed, "Thanks."I then followed Zandrus into the cave. He looked around, and that's when I was once again given hope of winning this quest. He can't see clearly inside the semi-dark cave; only I can."Good. You are really good; you know how to play games well." Said Zandrus and applauded."I don't play games, Prin
Underneath Her Peculiar Eyes Chapter 36 - Sad Kiss
Chapter 36Both Marcus and I are sitting under a thick tree, gasping for breath due to tiredness. We're both exhausted and barely catching our breath. It seems like we're the only ones breathing away the dust, but none of us has the will to let go of the last breath we want to take. We're both panting and sucking air for our lives, and our presences strongly bonded together are enough to strengthen the will to fight until we survive.Marcus and I are going to survive in this game. We are going back to District 1 to see Laura. She's waiting for us, for Marcus. I can't let Laura down. If Marcus promised to bring me home alive, I also promise to bring him home alive. We will return to Laura. As long as we have air to breathe, we will not give up.As the seconds and minutes passed, I noticed that Marcus was constantly gasping for air, as if he were struggling to breathe. He's suffering more than I do. He's panting harder than I am. He's asking for another breath. It seems like a prayer, a

Chapter 37He cut it off and smiled."I'm sorry, Verulia; that won't happen again. I promised your grandmother that I would do that for you every day. I'll take care of you; I won't leave you. B-but it seems I can't keep that; I'll just watch you grow up while happily forming a family." He said as the pain appeared on his face.I panicked."D*mn, stop this, Marcus! Don't tease me like this; what are you doing? STOP THIS! Please, please, stop this!" Begging, I hugged him tightly and shook him."I'm begging you, yeah? Don't do this. Have mercy on my agonizing heart, please..." I begged."Promise me, promise you'll get out of here alive." He said and fondled my face gently. "I want you to hear it; you can go home. You can get out of here alive." He said tearfully.My heart completely broke under the weight of my feelings. Why is it like this?"Marcus...""Please, promise me."I nodded and hugged him, "Yes, Marcus, we will get home here alive. We will get home!" I cried.This is difficult

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

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
