All Chapters of Whisper of the stone heart: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

NELDRISDYD :I told her to shut them down, whatever feeling that made her fight to this extent. It wouldn’t be good for both of us if she let her emotions get the best of her. I understood why she started hating Veronica though she never met her. However, I was confused slightly. Fredden said when I asked him about Dahlia that she was doing fine, enjoying the new life of luxury she brought to herself. I believed it and didn’t contact her. In fact, I had some spies inside the Palace; I could easily contact her and they also told me the same. She was enjoying the life in the Palace with her brother Omniel who stayed with her almost all the time.It was also a reason I wanted to believe to get away from her. I still didn’t understand the curse she put on me. Either way, being comparing to another one sucked. I was subject to the same humiliation when I was young, constantly reminded of the dragon blood in me like a filth. The first

DAHLIA :I made a pact with Omniel. I wanted to tell the Duke to trust me on this, that I would save him from an imminent death that he could let his guard down around me. I danced speaking to him in my mind even if he didn’t listen to my thoughts. It wasn’t like he had the power to do so. ‘Trust me. I know it’s a long way forward but trust in me. I will definitely find a way to cure you.’ If he didn’t want to fight for himself as he said; I would do it for both of us. Hovering over negative thoughts wouldn’t be good for both of us and spending energy fighting for it wasn’t a waste of time. I realized when I was grieving over his future death when he wasn’t even dead that I was wasting time. If time was wasted so better spend it on something useful. I could always work on my goal if it happened and… he died later. The idea terrified me but I had to be objective. I

DAHLIA :The sky was so dark and the moon hid behind the clouds, making her words resonate in my mind like a lullaby. I also met a redcursed who wasn’t a non-human. Darkness heavily set in, foreshadowing a storm, not to my liking.“What do you see beyond this world full of cuts and bruises?” Lady Markbill asked.“When I was in the village with the same faces I used to, everything settled in, differently to the outside. I have grown used to the darkness of the outside and now I learnt to see beyond it. Sorrow lingered on all the way, regrets set their foot following paths I ignored, but still, the blue yonder I sought was never found again. I desire to grasp the future in my hands and change my fate to a better one. I don’t know where my journey might lead me but I will hold on to this goal. Humans are neither vulnerable nor weak. We believe, love, hate, smile and experience different kinds of emotions. I admit

DAHLIA :Taboo…I expected him to reject me like that. To save my face, I had to act like a villainess. Hiding my face… Turning my gaze to expressionless… Making my body do things I never imagined I could do… But for that short moment, I was an actor. I was a villainess who wanted the Duke’s fortune, who wanted to torture him for nothing. Because I was like that, he was the hero everyone loved and cherished in secret. He would find a redcursed child and tell him he would protect him and he would be cool. Every hero had a villain and I was playing that in that moment. For a short time, I was that villain.I wondered if he never existed, who would stand at the front saving the ones that needed it. If it were me, I would have run away like any other day and cling to anyone who might be a hero for a short time to save my ass.He was a hero, it was obvious. He fought, saved people even by small b

DAHLIA :To summarize, the maid dragged me to the dining room and made me sit forcefully. Nevertheless, instead of sitting with them as every day, they made me sit on the ground while their eyes gauged me strangely. The most surprising thing was Veronica’s behaviour; she approached rubbing her chin, thinking.“Hmm…” she strolled around me and her pale blue eyes sent a shiver down my spine. My instinct told me to find a way to run away. I swept the whole room searching for the nearest window but everything was guarded, not a single opening. I swallowed. What would happen to me now? “This toy’s gaze is rather rebellious, papa. How about I educate her properly?”I glared at her menacingly. What kind of things was she saying? “What are you saying, sister? Do I look like a toy?” my maid grabbed my hair and pushed my head to make me kneel further. I didn’t understand a single thing and
