Zolan knew that he had to take Evie away the moment he saw the dark dragon approaching the watchtower. Even more so, it was because the figure riding on that dragon was Lucius, but yet… not Lucius! Currently, there is no predicting what could happen once Evie's 'father' come closer with that dragon he was riding on. Zolan is willing to bet his right arm that nothing good would come out of it, though. He knew he could no longer delay. He must stop with his ridiculous blind faith in her that she would…-

"Princess, your father's eye color is amber, right?" Zolan still asked, despite knowing that all dragon guardian had that distinct feature of having an amber-colored eyes. "Yes. Why? What has that got to do with any of this?" Evie was confused at where the question was headed to. At Evie's answer, Zolan's jaws clenched. At that moment, he realized that they were royally screwed. He had seen the guardian's appearance before, and though this Lucius still appeared the same, he still felt that there was…

The shock rendered Evie immobile as her eyes were fixed to the dragon that was emerging from the thick dark clouds. Her mind and her heart were trembling in fright because of the fact that the dragon was already called. How can this happen? Evie knew that calling the dragon was always the last resort. The dragon guardian would never call the dragon immediately because it was always their secret weapon. Apart from that, the main reason was because the guardians cannot keep the dragon for a long a time…

"Alright," Evie said confidently and then she fixed her gaze to where her husband was. He had moved a little closer to the walls and looked up at her, smiling. She was a little nervous but when she remembered that time when she practiced with Zolan, she relaxed, knowing that her husband would definitely be able to catch her arrows too. There would be no way that he would miss! After making sure that the arrow she picked was not the poisoned ones, even asking Leon to double check it, Evie took a deep…

"Are… they coming?" Evie asked, her heartbeat beginning to thump and speed up inside her ribcage as she followed Gavriel's line of sight. For now, she still could not see anything, but she knew that Gavriel and Zolan were seeing something right then. "Have they finally… arrived?" "Most probably," Gavriel responded without averting his gaze from the farthest end of the meadow, "but there is no hurry for now. We still have to hear what our messenger has to say first." He added and the three of them…

Evie remembered that Gavriel told her that the dagger he gave her was special and poisoned. It seemed the wound from her dagger will never heal and the wound ended up looking incredibly awful. Evie shivered a little as she surveyed more of the man's body. The once haughty and handsome looking vampire emperor was tortured beyond recognition. Was this the result of him being interrogated? Isn't this quite brutal? Recalling all the information that Gavriel told her, Evie pressed her lips tight. Of course,…

When daylight came, everyone was already prepared. The archers were all lined up and occupying the top of the walls with their bows and ample supply of arrows in barrels stationed beside them and the soldiers were now positioned and fully armed for the upcoming battle. Looking down from the window and seeing the countless soldiers below, Evie let out a deep breath. When she woke up, she did not waste any time in preparing herself. She had requested of Elias to bring her an appropriate outfit to wear,…

In actuality, Evie hated that she needed to end up saying that she would become the damsel in distress again, but it was the harsh truth she could only accept. She knew that joining a war when she was only a powerless human sounded so idiotic. It was something not done. Even if she allowed herself to think twice or second guess her decision, she even might be tempted to pull back on this plan and reconsider it. But she just somehow knew that her decision was right. She had to choose the lesser of the two…

Unease and dread immediately replaced the intrigue and curiosity that filled Evie's eyes when Gavriel was talking about the lost empire of the fairies. She could not help but feel the fear creeping up on her and was now worrying about her father. Especially now that she had heard from Gavriel on how the dragon guardians were killed and their blood was used. She suspected that by now, the dark faery must have already left Dacria and was now with them. "Gav…is my father going to be alright?" she asked…

Gavriel did not give an immediate answer and his gaze fell at the dark space again. "I found out from him that the faery had been living there in the imperial palace. Or it was more apt to say that the faery was trapped inside a huge black crystal, the exact same stone that your necklace is made of. It seemed that the crystal was already there for a very long time. Even Lorcan has no idea how long the crystal has been sitting there. But it was the previous emperor, Lorcan's father, who had accidentally…
