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!”

    168The estate’s east wing still smelled like smoke. Adrian pulled Ciara into it by the wrist, away from the others, and she let him—right up until he opened his mouth.“Don’t,” she said.“Ciara—”She hit him again. Open palm this time, full weight behind it, and his head snapped sideways into the charred doorframe. He didn’t block it. He didn’t even raise his hands.“You don’t get to talk first.” Her voice was flat now, scraped clean of the rage from the arena. That was worse. “You get to listen. That’s all you get.”She held up her hands between them. He looked. Really looked.Every fingernail was gone. Not torn off in some accident—removed, deliberately, the beds underneath scarred over wrong, healed crooked, healed by something that didn’t care if it healed right. Ten small ruined places where something used to grow.“He started with these,” she said. “Said hands tell on people. Said he wanted to know how long it would take before I stopped using mine to fight and started using th

    167. The tunnel was endless, and Ciara was obviously agitated. It seemed like every moment she spent in there made her angrier. Nobody spoke for a while, and it was mostly because everyone was tired. But it was also because nobody knew what to say after Ciara had casually admitted to spending three months planning Adrian's murder. Adrian was at the back of the group, far away from Ciara. As far away as he could be. Henry noticed. "You do know that she can still reach you, right?" Adrian sighed. "That's a problem." "I can hear both of you. This cave echoes." Adrian immediately shut up. "Ciara wouldn't try to kill you in here, we're running away and she's smarter than that." Selene said, trying to be patronising. She had no idea of what Ciara was like, but she wanted them to get as far from the trouble as they possibly could. "Smart woman." Ciara responded. They went a turn and then Ciara suddenly stopped walking. "What now? Why did you stop?" Selene asked.

    166. The two women stared at each other with neither one even blinking or looking away. Adrian felt a headache coming, and he got irritated when he looked at Henry. The prince looked excited. "This won't go well, please." Adrian said, trying to quell the anger. Selene pointed at herself, and then at Ciara. "First of all, I look nothing like you. You have to be blind." Ciara raised an eyebrow at her. "You really think that you don't?" "No, I literally don't." Meanwhile, Selene's eye twitched in anger. She was tired, and her throat still hurt from nearly being strangled by that stupid clown. She had been kidnapped and forced into a death arena, and now this strange silver-haired woman had appeared out of nowhere and accused her of being a replacement wife. She wasn't even "officially" with Adrian! They just had feelings for each other. Her patience was completely gone. "Listen to me well." She pointed at Ciara. "I have heard a few stories and I'm nothing like you!

    165.They could still hear the crowd screaming, but nothing startled them more than what Ciara said and how she had said them. "The king?" Adrian looked at the others before scrambling to his feet. “Wait… what do you know?” Ciara groaned. “I’m just asking because—” “NO!” She exclaimed, interrupting him. Adrian shut his mouth and Henry looked between them nervously. "Maybe we should all calm down and—" "Shut the fuck up, prince!” She exclaimed. Henry immediately shut up too. Mira raised an eyebrow. "She's quite intense." "Trust me…” Adrian muttered. "This isn't even close." Ciara looked back at him. The look alone made him regret speaking. Selene folded her arms. "Okay. Maybe let's not discuss murdering kings while we're still trapped inside a death arena. We need to figure out how to get out of here.” "Former death arena, that’s what I heard them say.” Henry corrected. “But Adrian killed people.” There was a distant-sounding explosion. The clown w

    164. Selene hated that ugly, mocking smile on the clown’s face. Just then, inside her snapped. "You smiling piece of shit!" She launched herself off the platform and over to the clown. Mira barely had time to react before Selene was airborne. "SELENE!" The crowd gasped and then started to cheer. Selene flew through the air, with all the magic she could handle. She aimed straight for the clown's face. The clown didn't even act like they were being attacked. For one glorious second, Selene thought she had it. Suddenly, a hand shot out quickly. The clown grabbed her by the throat. Selene's eyes bulged and her attack force vanished instantly as the clown held her up effortlessly with one arm. The entire arena fell silent. "What?" Selene croaked. “H-how is th-this?” The clown sighed and squeezed her neck tightly. "Oh dear. Did you really think that that pathetic attack would work?" Mira's face turned pale as she saw Selene losing breath. She charged at the clown too.

  • Chapter 163

    163. Henry stood over the body of the poisoned guard he had just killed, chest heaving as blood dripped from the stolen bow in his hand. “Come on then!” He screamed at the guards. “Which one of you bastards wants to die next? You’re following orders of evil and expect to still be on top!” The crowd cheered. “YES!” “KILL THEM!” “MORE BLOOD!” Adrian looked around in disbelief. The guard had been dead for less than five seconds and thousands of people were cheering like they had just witnessed something beautiful. “What the fuck is wrong with these people?” He muttered. Suddenly, a horn was blasted. Immediately, several armoured guards rushed at Henry at once. Henry cursed at them and then fired another poisoned arrow. One guard took it through the eye and collapsed on the spot. The others kept coming. They didn’t care about their lives or whatever, this job was their lives. Henry barely dodged a spear thrust before a shield smashed into his ribs. “Henry!” Adria
