The sound of cheers still lingered faintly in the corridors as I left the celebration, my footsteps echoing against the polished stone floors. Lucius had won. The kingdom was secure. Yet, as I glanced around, my mind wandered to Veryon. I hadn't seen him since the duel ended. Not that I cared—at least that's what I told myself. But something deep within stirred, a nagging feeling I couldn't quite place.Why should it matter where he was? He was defeated, and this was over. Still, my eyes scanned the shadows as if expecting to find him lurking there. When I didn't, I turned sharply and made my way to my chambers, shaking off the thought.Once inside, I sank onto the edge of my bed. Lucius would be training me soon. The thought filled me with equal parts dread and determination. I needed to be ready for the days ahead—days filled with grueling training and preparations to hunt those damned spirits. The unknown loomed before me like a dark, endless expanse. I tried to push it aside, lett

The air was thick with tension as the shadowy man sat on his throne, a sure secret glimmering before him like an open wound. His gaze was cold and piercing, his lips curling into a dark smile as he spoke softly to the woman standing beside him."Leave. I'm coming," he whispered, his voice chilling as it grazed her ear.She hesitated, her eyes flickering with uncertainty. "I cannot just stand up and leave—"Before she could finish, his eyes bore into hers with an unspoken command that forced her to rise. She turned on her heel and left without another word, leaving him alone with the four figures cloaked in shadows."Envy. Pride," he called, his voice slicing through the silence like a blade.Two of the figures stepped forward hesitantly, their heads bowed. Before they could speak, he raised his hand, and an unseen force brought them to their knees. They screamed, their cries sharp and guttural, as if acid had been poured over their bodies."You failed," he growled, his voice laced wit

Elena shrugged dramatically, extending her hand toward Kael. "Take me back to the palace," she demanded, her tone dripping with entitlement.Kael rolled his eyes but took her hand anyway, helping her back into the carriage with all the enthusiasm of someone being dragged to their own execution. I watched as she climbed in, her complaints echoing even after the door shut. The carriage rolled away, and for a moment, I stood there in the awkward silence left behind.Lucius cleared his throat. "Alright, back to work."I turned to him, groaning. "You're relentless, you know that?"He smirked, holding up the book again. "If you don't want to keep inhaling lake water, you'll focus."I sighed and followed him back to the edge of Lake Gayank. This was going to be a long day.The process of drawing energy from the lake was harder than it looked. Lucius made it seem effortless, even though i just opened his gates of energy recently. his sword glowing faintly as he siphoned energy from the water

Lucius's POVI turned my head sharply, irritation flaring. "What is it? What now?" My voice was clipped, teeth gritted in frustration. The last thing I needed right now was another distraction, least of all him. My mind was a tangled mess, preoccupied with too much already, and his presence was the final straw.I shot him a glare as he entered, his ever-annoying smirk plastered across his face. Veryon. My older brother, the one who seemed to take pleasure in taunting me at the worst possible moments."Can't you take a hint, brother?" I sneered, folding my arms. "You've already lost. I'd think the eldest would know when to leave with what little dignity he has left."Veryon's smirk deepened, infuriatingly confident. "I've told you, Lucius. You know why I'm here."I rolled my eyes. "Oh, yes, I'm sure it's for some grand, noble reason. Spare me the theatrics, Veryon. I don't have the patience for your games today."He sauntered over to where I had been seated moments ago and dropped into

Kiara stepped out of the bath, her thoughts already shifting to the training ahead. Maidservant Tae followed closely behind, carrying a neatly folded training robe. Kiara donned it without a word, her focus sharp as she made her way to the waiting carriage.The ride to Lake Gayank was uneventful . The sprawling lake came into view, its shimmering waters reflecting the soft morning light. As the carriage came to a halt, two familiar figures awaited her: Asher, with his mischievous grin, and Ryder, ever the picture of stern authority."Where's Lucius?" Kiara asked, stepping out of the carriage.Asher was the first to answer, his grin widening. "Busy with kingly duties, Your Majesty. He sends his regards, though."Ryder nodded curtly. "Until then, we'll oversee your training."Kiara frowned but didn't argue. She knew better than to waste time questioning Lucius's absence when her own skills were what mattered now.Asher led her to the center of the open field by the lake's edge. Ryder fo
