Semua Bab From Rogue to Alpha King (The Diamond Realm book 1): Bab 91 - Bab 100

I make a stop at the common bathroom before heading to the dining hall. The tables are almost entirely occupied by those who have been training during the day. While most of those who live in the Lastdenn are males, there are a few females as well. They sit together around two tables, eating and chatting. Between the two tables is a male on his knees, dressed in rags, his head low, his gaze fixed on the stone floor. He is so thin, I can see his bones. The ash wood collar around his neck not only tells me he is a slave but a vampire as well.I hate people who have slaves. Are there more, or is he the only one? Tomorrow, I will ask Anan about the slave.I grab my food—which looks like something one would feed the pigs—and search for an empty place to sit so I can eat. One of the males stands, and I take his place. Those around the table ask for my name and then introduce themselves. I barely register what they are saying as the females are laughing very loudly, making my head pound. Aft

We stop close to the kitchen. Voros scans the area around us, listening for sounds and sniffing the air. “You should not say that name here unless you want to get in trouble.”Anan told me Analise is evil, while Voros warns me not to say anything about her. Interesting. Regardless of who is right, as long as Analise doesn’t interfere with my training, I don’t have a reason to give her a second thought. “How did you meet her?” Voros wants to know. “I gave her some water yesterday, and she mentioned a person who is very hated here. Based on what you said, I think she referred to K, but she never mentioned his name.” “If Analise gave you a message for K, it is best to give it to him.” We quietly enter the kitchen. K is cleaning two big stoves, his back to us. “Need any help?” Voros asks suddenly, startling K.The vampire turns around, his gaze fixed on the floor. “I got this.”He sounds…defeated. Like the life has been sucked out of him.‘If Voros is right about K and him being her

I spend the last days in the Nether Realm helping Voros finish the last details of his and K’s escape and packing my stuff. When I arrived, I lacked basic gear and warm clothes, but since I started hunting with Voros, I have accumulated quite some stuff. I am not taking everything with me, so I put aside clothes and trinkets I don’t need anymore to give to K. Except for the rags on his back, he practically has nothing. Before I close my duffle bag, I check to see if the letter Anan gave me is there. My father and Queen Lamia wouldn’t be very pleased if I lost it. Not that the letter is important in the great scheme of things, but I think they want to know how much I learned, as my only purpose for coming here was to get ready for the Games that will soon start in the Diamond Realm. Becoming the next regent is crucial if I want to get my hands on the Sword of Nightmares.All this to defeat the Druid Witches. How strong are they? Sure, they have allied with the Lycans and the daughter o

Mircea and the other knights lead me to a room that is clearly used by a dark witch. The shelves on the walls are stacked with all sorts of jars filled with plants, animal parts and other stuff that I don’t recognize, crystals, and many other things witches use to make spells, potions, parchment, and whatever else they do. The scent of evil makes the hair on the back of my neck stand. The witch, the same one who gave me the healing potion before I left for the Nether Realm, is in front of a table, stirring something in a small cauldron.‘We shouldn’t drink anything that is given to us,’ my wolf advises me. While I agree with him, I don’t see how we can get out of this. “Queen Lamia wants you to erase the past months from his mind,” Mircea says to the witch. After adding some dried plants to the caldron, the witch says, “Have him sit; I’ll cast the spell in a moment.” Something about her casting spells on me makes my whole body tense, and my wolf and I let out a low growl.A shar

After entering the competition for the next Regent of the Diamond Realm, I spend my time either dreaming about the female with red hair, reading in the Royal Library, or roaming the palace, learning its secrets while I wait for the first task to begin. The tension in the air is high, as each person in the race to become the next regent thinks they deserve to win the Games. It will be fun to see them lose one by one.A week after the Games officially started, the first task takes place—the contestants are tested to see how much they know about the Diamond Realm. A good regent knows the history of this place so he won’t make the same mistakes as his predecessors. Passing the test is more challenging than I thought, testing my knowledge to the fullest. Spending most of my time in the library paid off as I answered most of the questions correctly. Out of fifty contestants, seven fail to answer the minimum number of questions and are sent home. The rest of us pass to the next phase of t
