Drayce gently lay Seren on his bed, his gaze intent on the fragile young woman whose breathing was still shallow. Though Cian didn't like his sister lying on a man's bed, he could say nothing. For now, he preferred to only think about seeing his sister better as soon as possible as it pained him to see her in such a pitiful state. King Armen went towards the bed to see his daughter. Since Drayce brought her out of the tower, he couldn't even take a proper look at his daughter. Despite his reluctance,…

Unwillingly, Cian stepped aside as well, and they watched Drayce carry Seren out of the tower premises. "Eudes," King Armen called out in a tired voice, "Call the Head Royal Physician and have him personally look after Seren." One had to know that the best of the royal physicians only serve the monarch of the kingdom himself, and it was basically unheard of to have him treat anyone but King Armen. Without waiting for his trusted advisor's response, King Armen and his son followed Drayce out of the…

Inside the tower, Drayce hurriedly climbed the long winding stairs towards the top floor of the tower where he knew her bedchamber was. While crossing the other floors of the tower, he could see everything was dead silent, and although there was simple furniture on each floor, the other floors seemed barely touched. It was as if no one lived inside this tower. It did not take him long to reach the top. He used his powers to cross that distance in even less than half of the time that was required for any…

"Move," Drayce said coldly. His intimidating red eyes stared into another pair of anger-filled sapphire blue eyes. Cian did not budge, already throwing away whatever royal etiquette and polite speech he should be showing towards Drayce. "Why did you return? This is not a place for the King of Megaris to wander around. This is my sister's—" "If you are that worried about her, why don't you go inside instead of blocking my way?" Drayce countered. The two men glowered at each other, and for the…

Lord Eudes smiled politely as he beckoned for them to follow him. "His Majesty has arranged our royal physicians to treat Commander Calhoun Sanders. Our kingdom also opened our Treasury to ensure his fast recovery." Several seconds passed by in silence before? Drayce took a deep breath and finally turned to leave. It did seem that his reaction was a bit extreme, and in the face of her family, he could not insist on being unreasonable in his demands. At least, not openly. He was not aware of the…

"King of Megaris? What are you doing here?" Hearing their king calling the intruder the King of Megaris, all the royal knights guarding the tower retreated and sheathed their swords before paying respects towards the young man on a horse. "Apologies, Your Majesty," the captain of the knights said. "My men mean no disrespect to your royal self. Please punish me if we have offended you." He then signaled his men to clear the way between him and King Armen. However, Drayce ignored the people around…

With his horse running at full pace, it only took Drayce a handful of minutes before the huge iron gates of the royal palace came into his sight. From a distance, he could see the gate was closed, and instead of just the ordinary royal guards he remembered from five days ago, armed soldiers were busy guarding it as well. It was not difficult to guess that something happened inside the palace, and the people needed the military to be mobilized to keep order. The sudden anxiousness he felt two nights ago…

Inside the military barracks, the captain of the Megaris knights paced outside his assigned quarters, looking at the night sky from time to time. "Why are you still here, captain?" one knight asked. "Waiting for Dusk to return. For the last two days, he has always returned as soon as he delivered the food to the other person, spending the rest of his time around the quarters, but today it was the opposite. He spent his time away and only returned to pick up the food." "What could be the reason?"…

The knight captain from Megaris, who was appointed by Drayce to take care of the injured soldiers and to send food to a certain someone with the help of the eagle, Dusk, paced around his room as he waited for his subordinate to return. "Captain!" A knight wearing the trademark black armor of Megaris came running after talking with one of the soldiers he had befriended. "I have investigated what happened last night." The captain signaled him to proceed. "Apparently, it was caused by the scream of…

"The power of witches is far more than a mere group of assassins," said one minister who couldn't seem to accept what the investigator said. The King gave the minister a sneer. "Enlighten us, minister. What kind of powers do witches hold?" "Y-Your Majesty, please stay your anger. The previous night, we saw what they could do. Just by screaming, a witch has caused chaos inside the palace. Dealing with two knights must only take one evil glare from them, perhaps a chant or a black magic spell," the…
