Chapter 51: He's the Superior

"I'd definitely do that!""And while we are on the journey, I'm the superior. You will follow everything I say. Do you understand?"That doesn't seem very right, but I think I have to give it to him for now?"All right. It's clear to me.""No buts," he added.I grimaced. "Fine!""Hate it? Why don't you just stay in the palace and wait for me to come back instead?""And I will die in curiosity of what's happening to you out there. Can you imagine those sleepless nights being alone and worried sick? Thank you very much, but I certainly don't want that for myself."His eyes narrowed. "Such a hardheaded lady.""I won't be Ophelia if I don't insist my point. If you're planning to live with me for the next couple of months, you should get used to this attitude of mine.""I think so too," he replied quickly and before I could react, I already felt his soft lips against my forehead.It was very quick but enough to scatter my thoughts and make my heart leap in both shock and anxiousness. I eve

Chapter 52: Not a Clairvoyant

"No. I want to come," I insisted.Demitri and I scowled at each other for a moment. His glare was never faltering, so at the end, I sighed."If you're concerned that I'd make a burden out of myself, then no need to worry. If ever something happens to me, I will not hold you responsible for it. After all, it's my decision. I'd be fully accountable of my own actions.""And you think it's that easy? We don't even know what kind of danger is waiting there. And you want to come?""Well, can you blame me if I want to do something? If I want to help?""You'd be a great help, sure," he said with pure sarcasm."She's determined. Why don't we just let her come?"I glanced at Prince Evan. Then I drifted my gaze back to Demitri with my brow raised."See? Prince Evan agreed."Demitri threw a deadly glare to Prince Evan. "This is a couple's talk, Evan. Stick your nose to your own business."What? Couple's talk?"I already said no, Ophelia. Don't be hardheaded," Demitri's firm voice was intimidating

Chapter 53: Scent of Victory

"Hello, my dear guests! What can I offer you?" Tall and middle aged woman, beautiful but has exaggerated colors in the face. Must be the Madame of this whorehouse."And how about you, lady? Are you, perhaps, going to apply?"What on earth did she ask? Do I look like I'm going to apply to be a whore? I may have thought about it once before, but that was because I had nowhere to go and desperate to earn. I am offended honestly."Apply for what?" Demitri's tone was cold and lethal.I quickly held his arm to stop going further. This madame could help us find that person so we should not make a bad impression."I am with them, Madame. I'm his mate, and they are his brothers who are here to drink and have fun," I said politely and with a smile."Oh! My apologies for my wrong assumption. I thought..." She chuckled. "Anyway, should I get a private room for the group or each of you will have separate rooms?"The wind blew from somewhere, blowing the Madame's hair. She got distracted for a bit

Chapter 54: Bordello

'There's still a chance that you can't do it. Even one percent is already a big deal, how much more if twenty five?'I shut my eyes and massaged the bridge of my nose. Raja's logic is giving me a head ache."Wait. The nature is telling us something."The carriage stopped as well as the horses. I quickly peeked my head out of the window to see what's going on.Demitri and his brothers were closing their eyes, unmoving as if their trying to communicate with someone intangible."What are they doing?" I asked Prince Evan."Talking with unearthy elements in nature."I was about to ask more when Demitri opened his eyes."A mountain spirit gave us a clue on how to please the magical healer so he'd give us what we want.""How?" I asked impatiently. I'm seriously curious here. All I want is to get that cure and get back to the palace to cure the Queen. She's such a very kind person to get through this."A virgin offering," Prince David said that left my lips open."W-what?" "Virgin offering?

Chapter 55: Smell of Stones

"What do you think happened to Mr. Elixr?" I whispered to Demitri when we were already in our way out of the bordello. The others were busy checking out the wine."I have no idea," he answered."Really? The mighty crown prince of the most powerful kingdom in the east, no idea?"He smirked and shook his head. I thought he would send me back to the carriage but I was surprised when he pulled me towards his black stallion."Want to have your first ride with me?"My eyes widened. I didn't expect that!"Are you serious?""I am." "Let's go then!"He cocked his head, hiding his face from the warm sunlight. I bit the insides of my lip as I watched his features carefully. Even in broad daylight, the darkness in his eyes was unforgiving. Though in spite the hardness and traces of storm in his face, there's no doubt he is a masterpiece. And I would definitely not get tired of staring at his face all day long."Quit staring. I might think you already fell in love with me."My jaw literally dropp

Chapter 56: Rare Wine

"Blood of the Wise is a very rare wine, Your Highness. It's one of our collection, but we only have one..." Fear was evident on Orion's voice but he sounded like he was implying that he can't give it to us because it's the only one."I'm willing to pay. How much?" Demitri got something on his pocket, a pouch of gold I suppose, and it fell down before Orion's feet."We can give you more if you want. Just give us the wine," Prince David said."We're willing to negotiate in terms of the price, but we don't have lots of patient, Mr. Orion. I hope you understood what I'm implying." Prince Martin was dead serious as he said those words. Gone the playful smiles and smirks. All I can see now is a lethal prince who would not hesitate of killing someone."What is happening here?" I heard a new voice just a second after the door opened.We all turned to see the newcomer.A man probably around Orion's age. Tall, lean, wearing a black cloak and a black hat. He looked dangerous. Who is he?"We have

Chapter 57: Raja Knows

"What did you mean, Princess? Do you know what kind of dragon that is?" Prince David looked around, getting ready for any possible attacks."A blue dragon." I gulped before I proceeded to my scripted explanation. "A dragon that can manipulate heavenly elements such as lightning and thunder.""Well, that explains why its growl was accompanied by a thunder." Prince Martin nodded."You seem to have a lot of knowledge about dragons, Princess." It was a statement not a question. But regardless, it sounded like one."Uh, I just... read a lot. That's all..." I explained hesitantly.About a fraction of second after I what I said, we heard a strange sound from huge wings flipping over the air somewhere near us. Demitri held my wrist at once and pulled me towards his back, shielding me with his body from any potential danger."You said you can communicate with dragons, right, Princess? How about you communicate with him or her?"'Him. He's a male,' Raja corrected. I rolled my eyes and echoed th

Chapter 58: Strongest Kind

'Are you sure?''Have you not read about the dragon's sharp senses? When it comes to tracing, dragons are the best. We can trace anything just with our sense of smell.''And how were you able to do that? You're just in my soul.''Through you, of course. My soul is part of yours, that means I would be conscious of my surrounding through your body.'I cleared my throat before speaking."Uh, I think we should follow this way," I pointed the path on my right."Why do you think so, Princess?" Prince David tilted his head to look at me. The others also waited for my answer."I can smell the stones of a cave in this path... I think we are getting near." I'm not sure if I sound convincing enough. They looked confused so maybe I wasn't."You can smell that?" Demitri asked.I swallowed the lump in my throat."Is that part of your ability? The strong sense of smell?" from Prince David.How should I answer that in the most natural way? Was there even any normal person who has that kind of sense o

Chapter 59: Stealing is a Crime

'How?' I asked Raja.'Blue dragons have only one weakness. Fire.'What? You should have told me earlier!'Even if you have the ability to manipulate fire, I don't think you can make an arrow out of fire. One should hit the eyes of the blue dragon with a fire arrow. It won't kill him but it can blind him for moments, then the princes can do something to paralyze him afterwards.'Fire arrow. I had never did that nor I tried. I also don't think I can do that, but...I looked at the Demitri... Prince David... Prince Martin... Prince Evan. They are all struggling to defeat the magical dragon in order to save the queen. Will I just stand aside and do nothing while they are facing such risk? Will I just watch them fighting while I stay behind?No. I should at least try. After all, there is no harm in trying.'Right,' Raja agreed. 'You may try but if you can't do it, don't push yourself too much. You know you are still in the early stage of your training.'I inhaled and exhaled. I closed my e

Chapter 60: Agreement

'He wants something from you, my lady,' Raja suddenly talked.What? You mean the magical healer wants something from me?'Yes. He relayed the message through his dragon. He knows you are also a dragon summoner.'What would he want from me? And what is this? A private talk? 'He wants it to be private because he wants you to make the decision yourself without the influence of the princes. Honestly, I don't like the idea of it, but I think I should relay the message right.'What does he wants from me?'He promised to give you the cure if you would do something in return. You should find his only son.'My lips parted a bit. His son? But why me? He should have asked that to the princes instead considering that they are more capable of doing it.'Because he wants you to marry his son.'What did you say, Raja? You are only joking, aren't you? You can't be serious.'My apologies, but I'm serious, my lady.''So, what? You are really telling me that he asked me to marry his son? That's ridicu
