Chapter 131 – The Shadows in the Banquet Hall
Noel slapped his forehead slightly. Heali was right; they had a dinner and meeting session today, and he had to be there at this time.“I will be there soon,” Noel said to Heali. “Now, get moving before I lift a part of the roof and hurl it at you.”Heali chuckled. “It is not my fault you planned to have a romantic meeting when you were supposed to be planning for our dinner. Do not forget to dress well when you come. Darian has instructed that whenever we are to have official meetings and dinners, we are all to dress up properly.” Heali turned away and then raised his voice. “Make sure to bring along your pretty girlfriend, too!”Noel was slightly boiling. Helena grabbed his hands and said, “Calm down. Do not blow up. I guess you just forgot about it.”Noel nodded and faced her. “Seeing you calms me down every time,” he said.She smiled. “So, can you get me down from here?”Darian stood in front of a mirror, dressing up. He was wearing a deep emerald tunic made of heavy silk, fastene
Chapter 132 – The Serpent’s Conference
“Escape!” Holga’s eyes shot up with light. She grabbed one of Deborah’s hands. “You want to get me out of here?”Deborah’s face became clouded with disgust even as she shook Holga’s hand away. Then she pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and rubbed her hand clean. “Do not touch me. You have not had a bath in weeks, and this place smells. You stink! I have been tolerating you, but I have to tell you never to touch me again.” Deborah pointed a hand in Holga’s face. “Do you hear me!” she said sternly.Holga nodded like an obedient puppy, her eyes blank with obedience. “I will do anything, but please get me out of here.”“That is better,” Deborah said as she folded her hands and sighed. “You do look pitiful.” Her eyes scanned the place as if she had not taken a good look the moment she stepped in. “This place is a dump. I wonder how you are coping. But I can get you out with time. I am still a leader of the Plant Clan, after all—one of those who were not killed or degraded.” Then she sn
Chapter 133 – The Weight of the Command
Noel frowned. “What! I can't go there.”“I want you to go, Noel. You are a classic businessman. I believe you would be able to go there and woo the leaders,” Darian said, his voice every shade of calm.“It is a no for me. I never had it in mind to be traveling and making allies. I will not go,” Noel responded.“Sometimes I wonder if you think you are our leader,” Jerry said flatly.“What is that supposed to mean?” Noel asked, a hint of anger tainting his voice.“I mean exactly what I said. Your leader has given you orders. You can suggest ways to go ahead, but in an army, bluntly saying no to your superiors is classic imprudence on display,” Jerry replied.Charles spoke too. “Darian might be your friend, but here, he is your Lord. When we sit to discuss matters of the army, you are his follower and you should show your loyalty by acting as you are told. You do not really know how to behave as a soldier.”Heali joined in. “You cannot say no—especially not this way.”“It is concluded th
Chapter 134 – The Trial of the Heart
“Darian, you should say that this is your number one reason,” Noel said.Darian did not bother to argue. “In Masac, you will see a lot of beautiful women and princesses. I want to see if, when you return, you will still hold Helena in the same regard. But know that I regard the affairs of our team more than I want to pry into your love affairs.”“What if when I return I still feel the same way for Helena?” Noel asked.“Then I will publicly apologize in front of Heali, Jerry, Charles, and Helena,” Darian answered.“I would love to see that play out. It would be fun to watch,” Noel teased.“And if you fail, you will apologize to me in front of all those people except Helena,” Darian said.“Darian, one day when you fall in love, you will understand how I feel,” Noel said.Darian smiled; there was no way he thought that would ever happen to him. All that mattered for Darian now was the cause of the restoration of Azariel.Helena lay on her bed and she tossed and turned continuously. The f
Chapter 135 – The Spark of Dignity
Darian continued, “Helena, you were a powerless figurehead princess and you need someone to stand up for you. Noel was a right choice because he was crazy about you... maybe that is why you wanted me, too. But you have to stop trying to use my friend when there is someone higher than him. So, you have come here to ask for my protection now that Noel is leaving, right?”Darian folded his legs and watched her. She said nothing, so he added, “As a royal, I know what it means for you to have a royal by you. So, say it, Helena. Noel is not here, and you must believe me when I say that I will not tell him. So, you want me to marry you instead of Noel, right?"Helena felt something boiling inside her. Noel had been so good to her, and this was what his friend had to say? She jumped to her feet and her eyes lit up with anger. “Golden Eagle or not, I will not allow you to insult me.”Darian was impressed. It was the first time in a long time he had seen this. The first time he met Helena she w
Chapter 136 – The Silent Watcher
Noel’s hands went around her waist encouragingly.Someone coughed behind them. “Excuse me,” the person said.Their moment was quickly distorted. Helena faced the other way, her hands clutching the balcony rails. Noel faced the person who had come with a frown on his face. His eyes carried the hint that he wanted to beat the person up.It was Jerry, leaning against the doorframe like someone who was glad to have happily ruined the moment. There was an awful smirk on his face. “I came to see the lady, not your horrid frown.”“And you chose just the right moment. Bravo!” Noel scolded calmly.“I get why Darian sent me here. He knew that instead of finding out from Helena when she was going to get her people to join us, you were busy carrying out other... activities,” Jerry replied.Noel stuck one hand in his pocket, and his brow furrowed. He wondered why Jerry could not just wait for him to be done with Helena. As if hearing the question he had in mind, Jerry said, “Well, only God knows h
Chapter 137 – The Keg of Gunpowder
Noel rose to his feet. “Darian, this thought is giving me the creeps. How long have you been thinking it?”Darian replied without turning to face him, “A few weeks. Almost a month.”“Almost a month! How come you did not lose your mind?” Noel asked, his brow furrowed.“It is what I do, Noel. I think deep things. Thank you for sharing in my discomfort,” Darian said with a slight tease in his voice, though his expression remained serious.“So Darian, you are trying to say that the Rebel Master might be in league with the highest villain we know? Her Holiness?” Noel asked again.“Well, that sums it all up for both of us. At least now you can see that, as I told you in the past, the Rebel Master is not a simple person. Who knows if this place is being prepared like a pot that would burn us all up,” Darian said.“Do I hear fear?” Noel turned to look at his friend.Darian hit his back against the bed and said, “No.”“You are the Golden Eagle. You should be able to take them on,” Noel said.“
Chapter 138 – The Nanny’s Poison
Darian stretched his hand to pick up his golden cup and planted it on his lips.“Helena has been through a lot. It will take a while for her to adjust and gain confidence again. I am willing to take my time with her,” Noel said.“So much for love,” Darian replied flatly.“When will you fall in love?” Noel asked as he picked up a knife to slice his turkey.“I have told you that I do not need love now. What I need is to gain all our ancestors lost, subjugate the Ice Clan, slaughter Her Holiness, and take my place as king. Maybe I will have time for love then,” Darian replied.Noel put a piece of chicken in his mouth and chewed for a while. Darian was eating, too.***Helena stood a distance away from Holga with her hands folded in front of her.Holga smiled with her blood-stained lips. “Yes. That is the way to smile like a princess. Just the way I taught you.”Helena rolled her eyes. “I will be removing your name from the clan records. We cannot have a person like you ruining the chance

Chapter 139 – The Fragile Shell
Jerry gazed at the Rebel Master with a mocking look. “Do you not get it?”“Get what? That you are trying to deceive me with your actions, pretending that Darian does not want to have anything to do with me? He might be the Golden Eagle, but if there is anything we all know about his cause, it is that he needs help. His power is a ticking time bomb, and before he turns eighteen, he will need some artifacts from the Palace of Azariel—artifacts that only I can give him access to. Because I have all of them.”Jerry clicked his teeth. “No one wants you dead more than me. That is the reason I was given this duty to torment you. However, I would like Darian to know that his reason for keeping you alive carries no weight if you do not benefit us in any way.”The Rebel Master’s smile disappeared as he frowned. “You are twisting words, Jerry.”“And have you not been twisting words since? If I get any idea that Darian thinks you are useless and wants to kill you, I would volunteer to send you on
