“No, NO!!!!” He plopped on the ground with an unbelievable expression on his face. His arm was extended toward the empty cliff, feeling so empty about it. His heart was torn and beating irregularly. He saw her. She was grunting, she was huffing, she was… in pain. He felt like his world was rotating and his vision narrowed. His breath clumped inside his chest, choking his throat. He dropped to the floor as his legs jerked angrily to the side. Eh? Jerking? His narrow vision fell on his empty feet. The purple blood that pinned his feet was now nowhere to be seen. As if it was his fragment of hallucination. He choked in tears, sobbing before scrambling toward the edge of the cliff. He craned his head and gazed down. His body flinched. The shallow steam was deeper than he originally thought. “Doll! Doll! Shadow! Princess!” He called his beloved daughter by various names, hoping she would answer in any given name. The sound of the calm water flow answered him instead. His eyes alread

“Excuse me?” “She is what?” “What are you talking about?” “Tell me you are lying.” “DUKE AJIAD!!!” The family didn’t take the news kindly. The king even roared and pinned his back against the wall with his deep growl vibrating inside his body. Liliana’s smile disappeared, Lily was frozen and Albert sighed lethargically. Somehow, Albert had foreseen every play. She might not deliberately invite trouble in her way, but those troubles, without a fail, came knocking on Shadow’s door and pounced at Shadow without mercy. That girl was a walking catastrophe for both her and everything around her. And the way she operated, so dangerously close to the edge, he had foreseen it. It’s bound to happen. It was meant to be. Inevitable. Everyone was devastated by the news, except him. His face was normal compared to the rest. Some might see him as heartless or just lacking emotion. But, he wasn’t that kind of man. Everyone seemed to be aware of that fact, nonetheless. He was okay because h

Shuffled faster, while looking nearly suspicious, his face crumbled, and his jaw tightened. He fled straight into the forest and went toward his small cabin, where Shadow was supposed to be.A few knights greeted him as he passed by with his stoic expression, none ever questioned his motive to be near the crime scene. With a glum nod, they let him pass by them.Some offered to escort him, which he politely declined while the others silently watched him with emotional gazes. Everyone acknowledged him as part of the lion tribe, and for that, he was always grateful to them.Despite being favored by the king, he was still hellbent to be independent, therefore, purchasing the most desolate place at the peak of the mountain, away from civilization. Which gave the king and the queen a fright.Well, his process of thought constantly gave his adoptive parents a scare. Occasionally, the parents urged him to attend therapy sessions with them – which he had to comply with because he loved them an

Don’t tell me…A realization dawned on him and Albert’s throat moved up and down.“You’d better tell me where he is, brother!” Brother!He used a family card. His weakness. His one and only solace.'Shit. This is unfair.'Helplessly, he threw his elbow over his eyes and groaned. The leaves rustled as the cold wind caressed his body. The sun was descending as the searching party was still looking all over the forest to the divided river between the hyena and lion’s tribes. “Albert… brother…” Dhia acted cute.His heart trembled and became increasingly weaker and weaker. It melted into the ground. He didn’t have to see to know what they were doing. Right now, they probably were working hard to appeal to him. Acting all cute and puppy eyes. Bought his soul with such an act, contradicting their vicious nature.Each time, however, his soul was automatically bought. He loved them too, his heart couldn’t handle it. Each time, they won this battle. They knew their strong point and they w

Ignoring those annoying mouths, Albert glanced at the living room momentarily. His head was imaging a massive bed and a good cooling system and filtering system next to the window. The black curtains draped right in front of the windows to shield strong daylight. Instantly, the living room transformed into exactly what he was imagining.“Oh wow.” Firash’s mouth popped open.“His magic proficiency is unworldly.” Dhia’s eyes twinkled excitedly.Without saying anything to both of them, he climbed onto the bed while Shadow was still in his arms and instantly cuddled her. They dived inside the thin blanket and draped it on Shadows after lying her on the bed, next to him.Shadow didn’t even stir, just hugged his thigh, making it impossible to climb out of the bed. Given up on the idea, he sat next to Shadow and adjusted the blanket so it covered both of them, beckoning the other two to join them. The two of them scrambled in a glee sound and joined them. Dhia dived next to Shadow and hugg

Shadow was woken up by the intense banter between the trio. Squishing between Firash and Dhia like a sandwich, Albert towered over them at the corner of the massive bed, placing his hands on his waist.Their voice intensity made it impossible for her to continue her deep slumber, therefore, she decided to enjoy the ride, instead.“There’s nothing wrong with being different guys.” Dhia pressed Shadow’s head against her stomach.Apparently, they were discussing their differences. This fight was between the lion and wolf pride which she wished not to be involved with. She was the only normal human here. What could go wrong?“Yeah, right.” Albert seemed to be extremely annoyed.“Look, you are a wolf, we are lions. That doesn’t mean we are not the same.” Firash tried to be reasonable.“And what is that?” Albert scoffed, agitated.“At least, when we are in this form, we are the same. We are humans before we are our subclass. We are divided simply because my ancestors received the lion’s ph

The next morning, she completely became normal as she said. Yet, she could only escape her brothers' and sister's grasp after a strict inspection. Hence, leaving the cabin was her priority.However, the busybody siblings couldn’t simply let her go. After hours of begging and tears, Firash and Dhia let her go – not because they were so keen about it – it was because they had a prior engagement.Furthermore, they needed to report her well-being to the palace right away. According to the protocol, it was supposed to be right away, but they bent the rule just because Shadow asked them to.And, the report version would naturally be filtered.Nevertheless, Shadow sat in the gazebo that Albert created specifically for her, next to the stream that was flowing. It produced a harmonious sound. It was about one half before Alber returned with the server. The server was holding three glasses of watermelon juice and a plate of beef jerky.“Your Holiness, I had already summoned them as you instruc

Shifting their gazes between the file and Shadow simultaneously, Ali and Syamsul were still reluctant to peer inside.“Stop worrying over uncertain things. Please read it before you decide. This is why she’s calling you here. We are not barbarous, forcing others to accept our beliefs. You are a capable human, I’m sure you know what’s good and what’s bad.”Well, sorry for worrying. Syamsul’s face indicated exactly that.The file was weirdly tempting enough. Cautiously, Ali placed the pad of his fingers on the file but Syamsul winced in disapproval. “I will read this file.” He braced himself from any expectation or disappointment. He deluded himself as a curious person and this was just an experience.“Please do. And your decision is your own discretion. Hence why I don’t wish to force you.”Her action was sincere but Syamsul felt wrong about it. As far as he knew, she was the most open mysterious person that not many could figure out. She was a strong individual but people were wary o

Interestingly, the king’s narration was so loud inside her head. He spoke a lot for a little information. At first, it was fun, but as time went by, he became even more delusional. His inner thought inevitably gave her a headache.“Tone it down, Your Majesty…” Shadow’s face had become pale. “You are so loud.”“Yes? Oh!” Ali looked bashful.Syamsul pursed his lips and made a disapproving sound. He still couldn’t say anything back to her because her face was projecting her words. She wasn’t mocking but genuinely troubled by whatever Ali said although the king wasn’t as loud as she exclaimed to be.Albert took advantage of the situation. Ali looked genuinely hurt and Syamsul was looking at her as if she was an alien. Shadow had a lot of secrets. A few of them were disclosed as soon as they were binding through contract. “I will reveal one of her important secrets so you will understand her better. Her words and thoughts align with each other. Those are gravely linked together. You will

Realizing their mistake, Syamsul bowed his head. Although he knew that he was wrong. As a prideful nobleman. It wasn’t for him to acknowledge his mistake. That attitude put Shadow in a bad mood immediately. They needed to be taught the importance of apologies or to lower their pride to have a better result. Studies told her that, a benevolent ruler would have benevolent people which would have the finest end product to boost the economic status.“In his case, the royal family cares for their crown prince. However, currently, the crown prince has no military support. It is clear that this will become a great weakness in the future for him when the actual for the throne begins. The king is worried about that.”She continued to speak.“Albert also fixed their economic income by introducing a proper business setting and getting rid of the unauthorized gamble houses.”“I know. His direct involvement confused me. I thought the royal had bestowed you with the land that he promised.”“They
