Chapter 140 – The Council of Shadows
Noel had been hitting the metal door with a stone, but it was clear that Helena did not want to open it. He put down the stone and leaned his back against the door. “I promise I will not trouble you. I just want to see you and comfort you. I found out you went to see Holga and then you ran to your room.”Helena could hear the sincerity in his voice. She walked toward her wardrobe with the intention of getting a hat that had a veil. She could wear that and maybe open the door. She grabbed the item, wore it, and walked slowly to the door. His concern for her was sincere; the least she could do was talk to him. When she pushed the door open, she was greeted by a touch of fresh air. Noel was not standing there anymore.Her heart ached. “Did I chase him away with my attitude?” she whispered below her breath. She turned to re-enter the room when she felt hands from the side pull her close. Noel whispered in her ear when their bodies touched, “I know you do not feel well. But please, do n
Chapter 141 – The Renewal of the King
The Old Eagle’s spirit swept Darian upward, and suddenly, they were no longer in the study. Darian felt a rush of cold, biting air as he was carried atop a swirling cloud. Below them, jagged mountain peaks pierced the mist like the teeth of a giant.“Look, Darian,” the Old Eagle commanded.A massive eagle dived from the heavens, a streak of gold and brown. It moved with a speed that defied the wind, its wings beating with such force that the air seemed to hum. Darian watched as a serpent tried to strike at the bird while it rested on a ledge. Instead of fleeing, the eagle seized the snake by the neck, took flight, and dropped it from a height so great that the predator was shattered upon the rocks below.“They are the kings of the sky for a reason,” the Old Eagle’s voice boomed over the wind. “When disturbed by the crawling things of the earth, they do not fight on the ground. They take the battle to the heavens where the enemy cannot breathe. That is their strength. That is their spe
Chapter 142 – The Coward’s Reflection
The table in front of Darian was full of roasted turkey, honey-glazed ham, herb-crusted fish, creamy mashed potatoes, steamed seasonal vegetables, a platter of assorted fruits, and a green frosted cake. He wanted to start eating, but he held himself back. The Old Eagle had told Darian that Noel would be coming, so it had to happen.Noel had gone to the study but was told that Darian had moved to his bedroom. He leaned against the wall of the study, a distance away from the soldiers, and thought long and hard. He was having a headache thinking about Helena. He figured he would need to rest his head; maybe Darian was resting, too. He walked toward the room, trying to keep his cool and smile at people as he passed. It had never really been hard for him to keep up with work despite emotional stress.Noel opened the door and found Darian sitting in front of a table of food.“Come, Noel, I have a green cookie cake as big as your head,” Darian said.Noel did not smile as he would have when D
Chapter 143 – The Portal of the Hidden Realm
“The Rebel Master has a plan to destroy the inner circle of your top men,” Deborah said.Darian’s interest was piqued. “What is it?”“He wants to use Holga to cause discord between you, Noel, and Helena. A kind of lovers' tension,” Deborah said.Darian nodded his head. It was already happening. “Some damage will occur if the bridge was not well built. But I assure you that all will end well.”***Jerry and Darian sat opposite each other, and the paper Deborah had given him was spread out on the table between them.“This is very interesting,” Jerry said as he leaned back into his chair. “I have looked at it and I believe we have a hit list.”“The reason why I called you here. I do not want to alarm all our generals. They have things their hands are on at the moment. I want to take all of them on this list out,” Darian said.“If we attack one, the others might be on alert,” Jerry said.“The reason why we have to make a hit on them in one day, or a night. Or, we clear out one enemy in su
Chapter 144 – The Awakening of the White Eagle
Noel had to smile. “Darian, you do not have to.”A voice came from behind them. “You were not invited here.”They turned to see Deborah. She was not alone; standing by her side were other women carrying wooden sticks used to aid their walk or for fashion. “We do not know you—except this one,” Deborah said as she pointed to Noel.Darian almost laughed. Deborah was certainly good at acting. This was the same woman working for him in secret who had brought him the list of names linked to the Rebel Master. “Pardon me. I failed to introduce myself. My name is Darian, and I am the Golden Eagle.”Deborah turned to face the other people with her, and they whispered among themselves. Then, after making a decision, they dropped to their knees and bowed. Deborah spoke, “We did not know that we would be visited by royalty. We would have prepared properly for your coming.”“Rise,” Darian said.The women rose, and Deborah said, “Would the Golden Eagle follow us for dinner? Maybe a rest in our best
Chapter 145 – The Crimson Banquet
The noblemen they were selling to were members of the Ice Clan governing the North Borderlands and had been in the know regarding all the Rebel Master had done. When they heard of cheap charcoal, they had jumped at the offer, and this had given Darian and his team access. Even though, in the beginning, it had been Noel who forged this relationship—as he was the businessman among them—today, Darian had chosen to let Noel stay back and be in charge of the camp. Although they all knew that was an excuse for Noel and Helena to be together, even now that Noel’s identity was known.When Darian and Jerry were done, they shook the hands of the nobles and rode on their horses with their laborers following them like a line of obedient ants. They walked until they reached a forest. They entered and سپس streamed into a tunnel while others surrounded the area; they watched while acting as if they were sorting things. This was how they had come out the first time, so they would not be traced. The o
Chapter 146 – The Blade of Succession
“Then explain why you could not stop the rebel army from being loyal to us? Tell me if you even know what still happens in their ranks. Then we should blame you for this. You are the reason why all this happened, and you are the reason why we lost our families,” Scot yelled at the top of his lungs.“Don’t you dare blame me for what I did not do. Since I was young and I started ruling these lands with my partners, we have made sure you enjoyed prosperity. You were born to enjoy all our hard labor, were you not? I will not listen to a little boy like you who was born yesterday come into my house and speak to me like this,” Cion shot back.Scot lifted his head and laughed. As he did, a look of confusion rose on Cion’s face.“I can see the peace and prosperity you have given us. Under the rule of you and your dead partners who were butchered yesterday, you let the rebels roam free like rats living their best lives in the mansion of a king. They became fat and hated their sponsors, so they
Chapter 147 – The Gaze of the Defiant
The slaves looked around with the pain they felt stretched across their faces. But as they were taught, whenever they almost met the gaze of a noble, they lowered it immediately.Scot got off his horse and took a whip from one of the slave drivers, while two other drivers followed behind him. “There is no hope for anyone who becomes a slave in the Kingdom of Azariel. Neither is there any way you can ever be free, except if you suck up to a nobleman who decides to show you some pity and increase your status.”He paused briefly and walked in front of the line of slaves. All of them kept their heads bowed and shivered as he passed by. “The natural leaders of all of man are the rulers of the Ice Clan. If you are not a member of the Ice Clan, or if you cannot make friends with the members of the Ice Clan, then you are a low-born.”Scot stopped walking. “The worse thing is if you are poor. The moment poverty comes, we make you a slave immediately. You should know why? Poverty itself is a di
Chapter 148 – The Fall of the North
Sensing the distraction, the slave who had been tied and made to kneel tried to loosen his hands from the ropes binding him. He succeeded and took the chance to place both hands on the floor swiftly; then he raised his legs, sweeping in a straight line, flooring the slave driver and Scot. Grabbing a sword, he rose to his feet. The slave drivers around him tried to close in, but he sliced through the heart of anyone who dared.His fellow slaves, emboldened by his actions, began to rush the slave drivers by their sides and fight them. They knew who this group was.A few days back, Darian had sent word to the slaves that the Eagle Army would be coming to save them soon. Some of them had taken it as a joke and had not believed it. But on seeing this now, fresh strength and hope coursed through them.“This is treason!” Scot yelled before a group of slaves descended on him and beat him to death. Other nobles faced a similar fate. They either died at the hands of Darian’s army, or they died
Chapter 149 – The Shadow of Justice
A knock came from the door.“Enter,” Darian said.The large door opened and Helena stepped in. She was dressed every inch a princess, with live butterflies on her hair and clothes. Her dress was black, thick, and could have been worn to a first-class ball. Her hands were folded in front of her beneath her waist. She curtsied. “The members of my clan to be healers for the army are here. I only brought the best.”Darian turned to Heali. “After this meeting, go and check them out.”Helena stood there and did not move.“Do you want anything else, Princess Helena?” Darian asked her.“I want Noel, too,” she said.Darian could not believe his ears. “That is inappropriate.”“Oh well, I will be waiting for him to come soon.” Then she turned and flipped her hair a bit. The butterflies bounced off her hair and landed back as soon as the strands dropped.It was inappropriate to come into a war room and demand this, but she was getting bolder, and the last thing Darian wanted was to make her cold
