Unexpected Destiny: The Half Dragon and The Nine Masks

Auristela looked at the sun slowly setting along with the blue sky turning orange with a look of amazement. It was the first time for Auristela to see the sun on the mountain. Because she is a princess, she is not allowed to leave the palace without a purpose and always be escorted by a soldier. Therefore, he often pretends to be a soldier whenever Arion gets a mission that he finds fun. Of course, she had coordinated with Arion, her mother, and her father. No wonder Auristela and Arion are nicknamed the 'naughty twins'. Do you think her mother and father immediately agreed to Auristela's crazy decision—disguising herself as a boy? Not. How could parents let their daughter become a boy even if it was only for a while? Especially with her pretense, Auristela has to do what men do. So that the charade is not exposed. Then how did Auristela get approval from her parents? Auristela has many skills, one of which is pleading with a pitiful face. Just like she did when she ask allowed to go

The black-haired man watched the soldiers who were ready to go to their location on duty. A strong desire to follow one of the three parties bubbled up in his mind, but he couldn't possibly do so. It wasn't that he was afraid of being punished by his uncle, but that he couldn't go out at night. Deep in his heart, of course, Andres was afraid and worried. At night, the security around the kingdom is tightened. He wasn't afraid of the royal soldiers, just that he was afraid of not being able to take care of himself out there. At night, there are many cases of robbery and theft. Moreover, with his handsome face, surely he will be targeted and kidnapped by the fox demon. Not that Andres thought he was the most handsome in this country, but that was the truth. During the day when many people are active, he is often teased and seduced, how about at night? Andres never went to the palace at night. He was curious, what kind of atmosphere in this country at nightfall? What he often hears fro

Auristela's green eyes looked at Arion who was climbing a coconut tree to pick up the fruit. Auristela is in charge of waiting for the coconuts that fall to the ground so that other people don't steal them. Arion was asked for help by a young man who works in the oil palm fields to replace him temporarily because his son was sick. It is common for workers in oil palm fields to seek temporary substitutes if they are unable to come. Because he said the owner of the oil palm field is very fierce, calculating, and likes to fire employees at will. Auristela and Arion never parted, because they had promised to always be together. When they are far apart, their hearts are worried about each other. "He said the southeast and south areas were guarded by several palace soldiers." "Yeah, so it's safe now, but it says the culprit hasn't been caught yet." "I am restless. Afraid of the criminals coming here." "Yes, me too." Auristela sharpened her hearing. During these three days, she had al

Andres and Anthoni walked leisurely past the residents who were buying and selling and also some traders who were tidying up their wares, because in the evening, the market would be closed. Little children run from their mothers who tell them to go home. Andres smiled seeing how happy the children were, he was surprised, when a boy fell in front of him."Are you okay?" Andres reflexively helped the boy who looked like he wanted to cry. Andres saw a little blood coming out of the wound on the boy's knee. "Anthon, did you bring water?" He looked up, Anthoni without asking immediately gave him a bottle of mineral water. "Hold on a minute. I want to clean the sand that's stuck to the your wound. Okay?" Andres looked at the boy. The boy nodded slowly. Andres spilled water on the boy's knee who was wincing in pain. "You are great." He pinched the blushing boy."Thank you," said the boy."Try to get up. I want to know if your feet hurt when you walk." Andres watched the boy who seemed to be

"What? Work here?" Auristela repeated Andres' words. The man who was taller than Arion offered her and Arion to work on this farm. Who is Andres, is Andres the owner of the farm? Auristela's pupils dilated, was her guess right?"Yes." Andres nodded. He turned to the farm. "I employ two people here." He smiled at Auristela and Arion. "Don't worry. We'll teach you how to herd and express milk."Auristela looked at Arion, they both looked at each other. Auristela felt guilty because she used to think that Andres and Anthoni worked as shepherds on this farm. Auristela scratched her itchy neck. "Excuse me, is this farm yours?"Andres nodded. "Yes."Almeta took one step forward, standing next to Andres. She grabbed Auristela who was standing in front of Andres. "I'd be happy if you two worked here. I finally have a female friend." Almeta's face shone brightly, smiling very broadly.Auristela smiled faintly. "I …." She glanced at Arion who was looking at the road. "I can't decide for myself.
