1. The auction hall stood beautifully, right about the upper east side of the kingdom. It was large and wide, built with polished stone and had heavy iron gates at the front that gleamed under the afternoon sun. Expensive carriages had lined the street, each looking fairly expensive and well decorated. Well-dressed nobles got down from some of the carriages, flanked by their servants and guards. They were laughing, chatting, and already discussing prices… more like bragging about what they owned before the auction had even began. Adrian stopped a few steps away from the gates, admiring the view for a bit while Macy clutched his arm tighter, feeling intimidated by the place. "Brother..." She whispered. "This place looks... expensive." Adrian looked down at her and smiled. “That's the point." “What can we even do at a place like this?” Macy asked, still worried. She tugged on his shirt "Perhaps we should go back. We can find somewhere smaller and cheaper. Like, within our

Did you have to stoop so low? Huh!” Ciara gritted her teeth. “I could understand the hunger that came from divorcing me but stepping into the palace to steal? That is so fucking low!” She yelled again and laughed at him.Adrian just stood there, watching her throw her tantrums. Ciara crossed her arms.“If you were so hungry, you could have begged me for forgiveness. Perhaps I could have given you a job as a cleaner in my house. ““Instead, you came here to steal. How dare you? Are you so foolish? I can't believe I once let you talk me into marrying you!” She yelled again“You'll never stop humiliating yourself, will you? But I am not in the mood for your nonsense. Leave, now,” Adrian said to her and attempted to walk away but Ciara blocked his path again“You miserable thief! If you think I'd let you leave this place with that money, you're fucking mistaken! I can't let you steal from the kingdom!” She snapped at him.“You better put that money down and run away while you still have

“Come with me,” the king commanded and walked away with his guards behind him.Master Draco gently approached Adrian, tapped his shoulder and whispered into his ear.“The king might appear all wise but he too has a temper. Stay vigilant and do not let your guard down,” Master Draco told Adrian who nodded.Adrian followed the king while he went into the rotal Chambers. Asking the bodyguards to stay outside, the King called Adrian in.Adrian has never been inside the royal Chambers. It was different from what he heard. The rooms were wider, the floors more polished. The tables were bigger. Adrian was in awe of what he was seeing.“Here's your reward,” the king said and placed a sac full of coins on the table.Adrian gently approached, and took the sac, feeling very fulfilled. “Is it true what my son said? Are you a dark mage?” The king asked Adrian“No, your highness,” Adrian replied.“So how did you know about that strategy?” The king enquired further.He took his seat while Adrian th

“Princess Sue, you're being mistaken,” Prince Henry said to her while forcing a smile. But every single inch of his body fumed with a wild fire.He wanted to wrap his arms around her neck and strangle her. But he had to play it cool, just for the sake of posterity.“I don't care about your useless excuses! Bottom line remains you failed to protect me while Adrian didn't! Perhaps he should be the Prince of this kingdom and not you,” she voiced out again Henry's eyes flashes to Adrian who just stood there watching the drama with amusement in his eyes. A flash of jealousy cut across Henry's heart.“You elevate trash to position beyond dreams. This useless lowlife couldn't even dream of such a thing. Ha! Now I get it,’ Prince Henry chuckled “You are cracking a joke,” he said and laughed. But princess Sue just watched him with her brow arched.“The only joke here is you, Prince Henry. But all of this I'm willing to forgive if you fall down on your knees and apologize to Adrian,” she said

All eyes fell on Adrian following Prince Henry's accusation. The hallway went quiet, and Master Draco frowned.But Adrian remained calm. Like a man with nothing to worry about.“Look at him. He is nothing more than a pitiful peasant I took pity on. I even gave the hopeless fuck a job in my own quarters but he quit!”Prince Henry accused Adrian and then took a step toward him, staring him in the face.“I wondered why he did that, why he quit. It didn't make sense. He was nothing. He's still nothing. But now I know.”“He is a dark mage. Has always been!” Henry said out loud and the servants murmured incomprehensible things.Master Draco shot them all a glare and they kept quiet.“Prince Henry, I understand that we do not know how Adrian came across this information, but labelling him a dark mage is a bit excessive, don't you think so?” Master Draco said to Prince Henry who chuckled.“And why do you say so, master Draco?” Henry asked him.“Because Adrian as we all know is not even a mag

While the chaos spread, Adrian rushed inside the palace. The smoke was heavy now.He could still remember that night from his past life. That time, he had run away when the fight became too intense. But he wasn't running now. Not anymore.[FEEL YOUR MAGIK!] The same eerie voice rang inside Adrian's head. Adrian groaned. That was still a mystery left unsolved.Who was talking to him?[FEEL YOUR MAGIK!]The voice repeated. And then, Adrian felt a warmth slowly surrounding him. The magik spread across his body, giving a red aura that soon settled on Adrian's tattoos.Adrian felt empowered. He would ask questions later.“Help!!!”Adrian heard a lady cry out. He followed the cries and saw from the distance, a lady, dressed in royal silk, dragging herself on the ground, trying to escape the dark mage that was after her.The dark mage laughed. “You're mine now, bitch!” “Help!” She screamed again. But when the dark mage tried to touch her, Adrian dashed to him, grabbed his coat and flung
