2026-01-13 22:08:28“How dare you spill such nonsense? You're just a useless nonmagical! You should be begging me on your knees to help your miserable sister!”
Aunt Vee yelled at Adrian again. Adrian gritted his teeth. He was running out of patience. “I will not ask the second time,” he stated, clenching his fist. Aunt Marianne laughed. “Boys, teach this unfortunate pig some lessons!” She said and stepped back The men chuckled while they swung their weapons. “We might even have some fun with her before Vee gives her to the brothel,” one of the men said and laughed. “Yeah! She might be a disgusting sight to see but at least she's pretty,” another one chipped in. “And there's NOTHING you can do about it. Nonmagicals like you are absolutely useless -” Adrian snapped the man's jaw with his fist before the man could complete the statement. Blood splashed on the other two as the man dropped down dead. “You killed him!” “You're fucking dead!” Both attacked Adrian at the same time. But Adrian sent them punches that shattered their spine before he ripped them out! His eyes fell on Aunt Vee. Her heart raced inside her chest as she watched in horror. “You- you're a monster! How did you become a monster!” She blurted out and staggered back when he gently approached her. “Stay back! Stay the fuck away from me!” She cursed at him, but Adrian did not stop. He approached her even further, and when he was close enough, he grabbed her hand while she whimpered in fear. Adrian placed the necklace inside her palm. “That's your fucking payment,” he said to her and stepped back while she breathed heavily. “Where did you get this expensive necklace? Did you steal it?” She asked him, admiring the necklace. But Adrian gave her no response. “If you give me a stolen necklace, I will never forgive you!” She added Adrian was about to pick Macy up when his piece of the divorce agreement fell on the ground All eyes darted to the document, and Aunt Vee rushed to pick it before Adrian could. Reading through the document, her eyes lit up with intrigue. “You've divorced Ciara? How useless can you be? You divorced the only woman who could possibly endure your abomination of a man?” She said and laughed out loud. But Adrian ignored her. “When the streets are merciless and hunger has set in, do not ask me to take your useless sister back! I will not do it!” Aunt Vee said again, and crossed her arms. Adrian picked Macy up. He then turned to Aunt Vee and smiled “We shall see who will come begging,” he said and brushed past her Aunt Vee got triggered. Something told her she was making a mistake, that she should beg for Adrian's forgiveness there and then. “What can the fucker do! He hasn't had anything in his miserable life!” She said to herself while Adrian walked out of the house and into the distance. “Adrian, will we be okay?” Macy asked Adrian smiled at her. “Of course. I will take care of you,” he said to her. And he would! Adrian had knowledge of things that would turn the tides of fortune in his favor. All he needed was someone to listen. Adrian knew who he had to convince. It was the king himself! Stepping into an alley, Adrian saw two soldiers blocking the path ahead. He frowned as he slowed his steps and looked back. Others too stood behind him. Adrian stopped walking. “Adrian, what's happening?” Macy asked, terrified. She held on tighter to him. “Adrian Bloodson, you are in serious trouble,” A voice called out to Adrian from the shadows. Adrian watched as the shadow slowly materialized and took form before him. His sister gasped in shock, she held Adrian tighter! “Its lieutenant Percival!” Macy gasped.

Chapter 168
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
Chapter 167
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.
Chapter 166
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!
Chapter 165
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
