It felt like a vision, but it was not. It was something more.

“Adrian… my brother… I need you…”

Adrian could hear Macy's voice inside his head. She was a C-class telepath who has never had to use her powers that much before.

For her to channel that much magik, she was in danger!

“Macy? Where are you!” Adrian asked.

“Adrian… it hurts… so bad… help me… please…” the same eerie voice came in again

“Macy!”

“Help me!!!”

And then, Adrian suddenly snapped back to reality.

He was still standing in front of the courthouse. His heart raced inside his chest as adrenaline flooded his system.

His sister was in danger! And he knew where to find her.

Aunt Vee's house.

Without sparing a second, Adrian zoomed off to the residence. It was just a stone throw away from the courthouse. In no time, he stood before the wooden house with shrivelling flowers around the main residence.

Adrian knocked twice.

While he struggled in the palace, his sister Macy was living with the wicked woman.

Adrian knew that Macy's life wasn't an easy one with Aunt Vee, especially with her terminal illness.

She had a disease that caused intermittent pain in her body.

Adrian had looked for a cure but couldn't find one. He spent everything on it, still, nothing.

But when he has saved enough, he wanted to take her out of there and travel to another Kingdom with Ciara to find a better life for all of them.

That was until everything went to shit with Ciara.

But Adrian couldn't wait anymore. He had to take her away from the harsh treatments she was undergoing in the house.

“Help me!” Macy screamed from within the house. The shrill voice sent a wave of anger through Adrian's body. What was happening to her?

Adrian punched the door and it flew open with a blast.

Stepping inside, Adrian saw the horrible sight!

Macy was pinned down by two men, getting tied up. Aunt Vee stood beside them, watching the drama with her arms crossed across her breast.

Everyone froze as the explosion caused a momentary distraction. Aunt Vee's eyes fell on Adrian.

“Adrian? What the fuck are you doing here? Why aren't you back in the palace doing your miserable job?” Aunt Vee spat at Adrian.

“Get your fucking hands off her!” Adrian growled, clenching his fists.

He dashed at the men holding Macy down and threw them off her. The men crashed into the tables and walls and Aunt Vee jerked back in shock.

How did Adrian become so strong?

Adrian crouched before his sister, and removed the gag they had placed on her mouth. Her eyes, filled with tears, gazed upon him.

“Adrian… my brother…” she sobbed and hugged him tightly.

Adrian's heart broke.

She was looking thinner than the last time he saw her. While he focused all of his attention on his useless ex-wife, he had neglected his beloved sister.

“This will never happen again,” Adrian swore to himself.

Smack!

Aunt Vee slapped Adrian on his shoulder. His eyes flashed at her and she jerked back in fear.

But she refused to admit it.

“How dare you come into this house to cause trouble? Have you lost your fucking mind?” Aunt Vee yelled at Adrian who stood up.

“What the hell were you trying to do to Macy?” Adrian asked her, but Aunt Vee rolled her eyes.

“All she does in this house is eat and cry for your return. So I wanted to make her more useful by making her work in Eagle's Bar!”

Adrian froze.

“Eagles Bar? That's a fucking brothel! You wanted to turn my sister into a whore?” Adrian fumed, the energy inside him pulsating with each heart beat.

“Oh cut it! That would make her useful at least. Look at her. She's so frail and useless. She can't even do housework.”

“Her illness makes her a liability. At least she doesn't require any special talent to wet a man's cock!” Aunt Vee spilled again.

Adrian felt like punching her, but restrained himself for old times sake.

“I'm taking her out of here,” he said to her and she laughed at him.

“Are you fucking serious right now? Look at you, Adrian. You have nothing! You're a useless servant in the Grand Palace. They don't even pay you enough to do shit. If it wasn't for your in-laws, you would be living in the streets!” Aunt Vee's voice was cold.

“Oh, is that what they told you?” He asked her with a smirk.

That house was surviving off his salary.

Of course they would lie to keep their face!

“Yes! So don't even do anything stupid and leave Macy with me. In a few years, she would be a professional whore and can help your miserable life!”

“Shut your fucking mouth, Aunt Vee!”

Adrian yelled at her. Aunt Vee gasped.

“How disrespectful! I should have turned you down the day you brought her sick ass to me!” Aunt Vee yelled at Adrian.

Adrian ignored her. He crouched before his sister. “Can you walk?” He asked her.

Macy winced in pain and shaked her head.

Adrian nodded. “I'll carry you,” he said to her.

But when he turned his head around, three other men stood beside Aunt Vee, all holding clubs and knives.

Aunt Vee's eyes flashed with anger as she observed the pair.

“If you wanna get her out of here, you must pay me for all the trouble she has caused!” Aunt Vee yelled at Adrian.

“Do not make this harder than it already is,” Adrian said to Aunt Vee who pointed her finger at him.

“Useless boy! Either you pay up for all she has consumed in this house, or I will kill you both!” She threatened him further

Adrian cracked his neck. But while he stood, Macy held his hand.

“Adrian… it's okay. Just leave me behind. These men are dangerous. They will hurt you. Just go. I'll accept my fate,” she sobbed.

Adrian gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

“I won't let anything happen to you,” he said to Macy before he turned his attention to the men

Move. Or you will suffer!”

    150. The cheering inside City Hall refused to die as different rebels walked up to him to congratulate him. Henry wanted the floor to open up and swallow him whole. “Alright, alright, shut up!” He said to the next one who came. Nobody listened and someone threw a blanket at him. Kael nearly fell over laughing. “I’ve never seen anyone look so embarrassed after kissing a beautiful woman.” “I hate every single one of you.” “No you don’t.” “You’re right.” Henry sighed. “Unfortunately.” Mira had sat up again, looking equally embarrassed. “They’re acting like we got married.” “Give them time.” Kael said. “Someone will probably organise a wedding by dinner.” “KAEL!” The former knight laughed even harder. Henry sat beside Mira’s bed. “You should rest.” “You should rest too.” “I wasn’t nearly crushed by a building.” “Yes, but I know you carried a lot of people back here today.” “I’m strong.” Henry said, and Mira burst into laughter. “That’s off

  • Chapter 149

    149. Henry hated that scream immediately. When he got to Mira’s site, she was nowhere to be found, but he could hear loud screaming from someone. The kind of scream people made when they thought they were about to die. "Shit." He dropped the blanket he was carrying and turned around. Kael picked up the blanket and ran beside him. "You can’t just run when you hear a scream." "I can’t find Mira!” Henry exclaimed, still running. The scream came again, but this time it sounded weaker. Henry was sick to his stomach. Mira. Please don't let it be Mira. He begged in his mind. It couldn’t be her, not after everything she had already done to help people! The giant tower still stood in the distance like a giant middle finger aimed at the entire kingdom. “FUCK YOU!” Henry spat at it as he ran through the wreckage. Kael followed behind. "Slow down!" "I can’t afford to!" Henry said, throwing himself over obstacles and jumping like a kangaroo before he slid beneath a lar

  • Chapter 148

    148. Henry was in the middle of losing an argument with Kael in the major city mall. There was a supply run and he had volunteered to be part of it, but as they stocked up, they argued. "I'm telling you, that's a terrible idea." "It's a brilliant idea." Kael replied. "No, it's terrible." "Brilliant!" Mira walked past both of them carrying medical supplies. "You're both idiots. Be quick so we can leave." "See?" Henry pointed at her. "She agrees with me." "No." Mira replied without stopping. "I think you're both idiots." Kael laughed. The rebellion base had become surprisingly lively over the last few days. There were more people in the "family". So that meant more training, more planning, and more arguments. For the first time in months, things almost felt normal for Henry, save for attacks. He had become more used to the environment. Henry sat on a wooden crate and looked at Kael. "So you're seriously saying we should put explosives under a bridge?"

    147. "Selene, answer me!” Selene wasn’t looking at Adrian, her eyes were on the stone instead. What the hell would she say to him? Selene didn't know, so she didn’t respond. She stared at the ball for a second before quickly closing her fingers around it. “Selene." Still nothing. She shoved the ball into her pocket and looked away. "We need to get the children out first, Adrian. Everything else is secondary." Her voice sounded strained. Adrian nodded and slowly got to his feet. His throat still hurt from where the warden had nearly crushed it. He looked at Selene, and shook his head. He had so many questions that were practically exploding inside his head. What kind of magic was that? Why had she lied about being able to do magic? What else had she lied about? How many other things was she hiding? He shook his head. No, he needed to concentrate on the kids. Most of them looked terrified. Adrian swallowed his questions. "Right, the children.” Selene looked

  • Chapter 145

    145. The stolen palace records were spread across the large table in his study. Adrian went through them with a frown on his face. "This makes absolutely no sense." Selene sat opposite him, reading through another pile of papers. Adrian frowned as he went through some documents. The handwriting was so bad he had to struggle to understand what was going on in them. "What does that line say?" He said, showing Selene a page. She squinted. "Deserving prisoners" A few days had passed since they stole the documents from a palace archive. Most of it was boring, all about taxes and mundane reports, supplies, there was a report about a man arrested for punching a goat. Adrian finished up with that batch and opened the next one. DEVELOPMENT FOR SUPPLY AND POWER, the top read. This was the most intriguing one so far, he told Selene who shrugged. “That sounds like they’re talking about power to use for machines.” “I don’t know.” Adrian said as he took out the cover. T
