Chapter 160 – The General of Sixteen
Noel and the hundreds of men behind him stopped at the scene and dismounted from their horses. Deji Fountain looked on with hope. He expected to see the army he had been waiting for. Instead, he saw men dressed like Darian’s army and more of the other nobles' men.Deji Fountain narrowed his eyes. “You all were in on this?” he asked, pointing with his good hand in a hysterical tone. “Back then, when the Golden Eagle escaped and you all set up the scene to look like a battle—it was a lie. You were the ones who helped him escape!”Darian went cold. “I have been waiting for this moment for years. I never forgot what you did to me and all the innocent people that died that day. Today is your end, and by dawn, all in your camp and all who were loyal to the Ice Clan and Her Holiness will be dead!”Darian stuck his sword right into Deji Fountain’s body until it came out from the other side. Deji Fountain’s eyes widened as he choked on his own blood. “You will still lose. You cannot win agains
Chapter 161 – The Masac Ultimatum
Darian nodded his head. “Not bad. You uphold love and duty at the same time. But I guess if Helena hears about this, she will be furious. Perhaps I should tell her.”“Drop the tease. The last thing I want is a quarrel. But where is she?” Noel asked.Darian responded, “She was in the room where you left her. Maybe she had other matters to attend to, so she left.”“Are you sure of that?” Noel asked.Darian sighed and stuck a hand into his pocket. “I have a silk letter she left behind. I knew you would come asking for it soon.”Noel took it from Darian and opened it. After reading it, he said, “I hope it is really clan matters and not her being angry at me for not coming to see her first.”Darian shrugged and resumed looking at his scroll, as he had been doing before Noel entered. “That is none of my business,” he said.Noel frowned.***Helena was back at the camp, sorting out some herbs. She sighed. She had left the West Borderlands in a hurry. Helena had seen Noel arrive; she had seen
Chapter 162 – The Strategy of the Feast
Darian placed his fingers on the right side of his head and rubbed it gently. He closed his eyes. “That could work. But I do not want to bother with it. Do you mind taking it up? Give the guy all the supplies he needs.”Noel nodded his head. “I will handle it. Before I left, I also discovered his secret network. There are some Eagle loyalists there in the court. The power could be upturned.”Darian rose to his feet. “Do me a favor, Noel. Next time, please leave business like this until I am done eating. I have lost my appetite. I think a lot nowadays.”Noel smiled. “Okay, tough guy. I thought you would want to see the picture of your princess. She is somewhat pretty but horrible. And my Helena is prettier than her.”Darian heard the tease in his voice. “Noel, you can marry her if you wish. Be one of her male concubines and please her well.”Noel chuckled. “Darian, you do owe me an apology, you know. You promised that if I came back from the Kingdom of Masac without my eyes on any lady
Chapter 163 – The Heart-Love Disease
“How is Darian going to do that?” Helena asked as she was walking back to her place with Noel.Noel replied, “The Golden Eagle will have his ways.”“You seem to be so proud of that Golden Eagle stuff,” Helena added.“It is my identity. I did not know it before, but now I do,” Noel said.“Knowing and finding your roots is a big deal. I am happy for you,” she said with a slight nod.“By the way, you look beautiful,” Noel said as he stopped and turned to face her.She stopped too but did not turn to face him. “I also dressed beautifully when I knew you were in the inn I resided in, back in the West Borderlands.”Noel clicked his teeth. He did not like this topic. “You are mad at me?”“Should I not be?” she asked, finally turning to face him. “Noel, you did not even drop by to see me!”Noel walked closer to her, but she took a few steps backward. “Helena… listen to me. I just had to go save Darian. He was in danger. Helena, I made men guard your room.”She cut in, “I did not want the men;
Chapter 164 – The Weight of the Bloodline
On a beautiful morning, Darian sent word for Helena to be called to visit him. When Helena arrived, she was wearing a peach-colored dress with layers of shimmering organza that flowed like a sunset. The bodice was embroidered with delicate cream lace, and her hair was styled in a cascading half-updo adorned with tiny silk flowers, making her look like a princess from a fairy tale. She walked slowly into the study and stood by the chair in front of Darian’s table.“You called,” Helena said.“Have a seat,” he directed.Helena did as she was told.“How has the work been recently? You have added more healers and even trained some soldiers as healers,” Darian said.Helena nodded her head. “Everything is going smoothly. For the next battle, we should be ready.”Darian responded, “That is good. You are doing a great job. But Noel is sick. Why have you not attended to him yet?”Her eyes sparked with worry, but she quickly hid it again. “I did not know he was ill. If he really were, he knows h
Chapter 165 – The Awakening of the Skies
“Me?” Jerry asked.Darian smiled and did not answer his question directly. Instead, he said, “I need to give these powers soon. I need a giant land where we can all gather, maybe in batches. Let us start with the former slaves and soldiers first.”Charles spoke up, “I suggest the town square. It is big, and maybe it can hold everyone if we divide them into about three groups.”Darian tapped a few fingers on the table. “I like the sound of that. But even before we do that, the Old Eagle wants everyone to be well-cultured and educated about their powers. Everyone must avoid pride and not use their powers for evil.”Heali spoke, “Jerry and Charles are doing a good job with the lectures.”“Yeah,” Darian said. “But we need laws, too. Anyone who uses their powers for evil will be killed. As you teach them conduct, please do not tell them about the power distribution date. Only tell them that it is a possibility.”A few months had passed. Noel was standing on a balcony when a bird flew down
Chapter 166 – The Princess and the Staff
"You told me there were only two types of Eagles. Why is Jerry black?" Noel asked.Darian considered the question; he had also been asking himself this same thing. He answered, "It seems I have not read enough about them. But I have to say, I have a good feeling about this."Grey hair, pale white skin, and so much jewelry. She sat on the floor with her legs crossed in a lotus position, but suddenly, her eyes popped open. Her chest began to beat like a rhythmic drum. Each beat testified to the intensity she felt. She rose to her feet and eyed her crooked staff that held the sacred gem. The gem was glowing brightly.Her eyes widened in horror. This could only mean someone was distributing Eagle powers. She knew that when she had stolen the gem a thousand years ago, it was Eagle property and it housed the powers of the Eagle—powers she had not been able to ingest herself, no matter how she tried.Her Holiness, Laurel, grabbed the sides of her hair and screamed! The walls echoed with her
Chapter 167 – The Queen and the Minister
Her Holiness froze as she considered the possibilities. Then she balled her fists. “Of all the secrets to hide, William, it had to be this! The last Golden Eagle is almost seventeen.”“He is coming to the palace soon to get the thing he needs to advance to his peak. I have already begun to prepare for his arrival. That way, we will be able to take him in a full sweep before he turns eighteen,” the Rebel Master hurriedly spilled out.Her Holiness shut her eyes as she tried to calm her breathing. “I want to kill you now, but you might still be useful.” She thought about it; she had never seen Eagle transfer ceremonies, even when the Eagle Clan was still the one in power.“Trust me this last time, Your Holiness. The Golden Eagle will invade the palace, and I will let you have him. Then I will identify him and let you have it,” the Rebel Master spoke, still shaking.Her Holiness sat on the floor, returning to the position she was in before she felt the surge of Eagle powers flying in the
Chapter 168 – The Shifting Tide
A shiver ran through the spine of the Minister of the Interior. He fell to the floor and fainted. Her Holiness ignored him, and guards dragged the minister away. The other ministers were sweating even though the weather was cold.Her Holiness sighed. “I am too impatient. Instead of just waiting for news, ministers should send those under them to visit all the lands under the Kingdom of Azariel. They must send news at once.”“Yes,” the ministers bowed and responded in a chorus.“One more thing,” Her Holiness said.A look of displeasure rushed onto the faces of the ministers and even the King and the Queen. They really wanted to get out of there.“I want a thousand young girls. I want to take out their hearts and use them to replenish my strength. It seems we will be having a battle very soon. I don't want any Eagle unprepared to see me.”***Noel walked into Darian’s study and, without letting Darian look up or ask questions, he said, “Guess what?”Darian looked up. “Come and have a se
Chapter 169 – The Royal Infiltration
Darian turned to Heali, “Pardon my manners. It seems I have been carried away. Heali, please take the other seat. Noel is free to stand for the rest of the day if he likes.”“I do not understand why you are so calm,” Noel asked, dropping his hand.Darian turned to Heali, “Heali, what do you think?”Heali sighed, “I think most of the leaders of the Ice Clan are very lazy and will not want to do their job. Also, they will fear offending the territorial lords of the lands they are going to.”Darian nodded, “Nice observation. I spent time in the capital and I know what it is like. They will not want to come to another fellow Ice Clan member's territory and act like bosses. Even tigers do not eat their cubs and siblings. But as for the Ice Clan—they do not mind.”Noel finally sat slowly, “So what you mean is that when they get to the borders, we can send letters imitating the leaders like we have always done, give them gifts, and send them away?”Darian smirked, “You are finally understand
