Adrian was amazed by how sophisticated the mansion looked. If he didn't know better, he would have thought the house was even bigger than the castle itself. “Brother… this place is huge,” Macy whispered to Adrian. Adrian smiled. “Do you like it here?” He asked her. She nodded coyly and he chuckled. “Very soon, I will own a place like this. And you will live with me,” Adrian told her. Macy smiled at him. “It is good for you to dream brother. But remember, we are nothing. We mustn't dream too high,” she said to him in sadness. But Adrian stroked her hair. “Trust me, Macy. I will take care of this,” he said to her. “Take care of what?” A woman suddenly asked behind them. Both Adrian and Macy turned around and saw a servant standing there. Her face was twisted into an angry glare. “What the hell are you two doing here? Who let you in?” The servant asked, eyeing their worn-out clothes and bad shoes. Adrian sensed her attitude. “We have a meeting with Master Draco. Jade asked us to wait here,” Adrian replied with a frown, but the servant scoffed. “Thieves! You're fucking thieves aren't you?” She screamed out, pointing her finger at them. “What are you talking about? We are not thieves,” Macy replied to her but she gasped. “Oh dear, the poor girl has been brainwashed. Not only are you a thief, you're also a kidnaper!” The servant yelled at Adrian. “What fucking bluff are you on about? Do not spill accusations at me,” Adrian replied to her calmly. “Or what? What will you do? Huh! Will you rob me too?” The servant suddenly dashed at Adrian and grabbed his shirt. Macy gasped as she tried to rip it. “Come on, I dare you! Hit me! I'll send your fucking ass to the dungeons you pathetic thief. Your days of thievery are over!” She kept dragging his shirt until he pushed her off him. The servant fell on her butt. A pained cry escaped her lips while she raised her hands in a frenzy. “Help! Do you want to rape me? Somebody help me!” The servant started to scream. In no time, two guards rushed in, each armed with a sword. They helped her up and aimed their weapons at Adrian. “Take him! He's a thief! And he tried to rape me!” She accused. “That's a lie. My brother did none of such things!” Macy countered. The servant’s eyes flashed hot. “Brother? Take the bitch too. She's an accomplice!” The servant accused even further. The guards then focused on Adrian and Macy “You both needs to come with us, now!” They commanded “We are going nowhere with you,” Adrian replied to the guards who scoffed. “Your thieving ass should be begging for mercy right now and still you taunt? We shall skin you alive and give your bones to the dogs!” The guards cursed and just as they were about to attack Adrian, a sharp voice cut through the air! “What the hell do you think you're doing?” Jade slowly descended from one of the floors as vines guarded her down. Adrian was amazed. She has earth magic. One of the rarest kinds of magic there is. “Lady Jade. Thank the heavens you're here. This thief came in here and was causing trouble -” Jade slapped the servant immediately! Both guard exchanged glances as the servant held her cheeks in shock “You dare call a revered guest in this house a thief? How dare you!” Jade growled! “I- I didn't know - I thought he was a thief-” “Shut the fuck up! Stop talking! Your voice irritates me!” “Lady jade-” “That's it. Your fucking fired! Get out of this house now!” Jade snapped at the servant. “No, wait, please!” “Drag her out of here!” Jade commanded the guards. They quickly did what they were told. While the servant's screams filled the room, Jade turned to Adrian and bowed before him. “I am so sorry for that. Please, follow me. Master Draco will see you now,” she told him and pointed to the vibes that had formed a cushion. Adrian chuckled and stepped on them. But when Macy tried to follow, Jade held her back. “He will see you alone,” she told Adrian. Adrian, uncertain, nodded. “If anything happens, scream.” He tried his luck and said inside his head. He wasn't a telepath and couldn't send such messages, but he just had to try… “Okay, brother… I hear you,” Macy replied telepathically. Adrian was surprised. And so was she. Did he just send a psychic message? What other surprises would he discover about his powers? That thought lingered on Adrian's min while the vines slowly elevated, raising Adrian to the fifth floor in the grand mansion. It was time to meet with this mysterious Master Draco. And Adrian had no idea what to expect.

Chapter 42
42. The war alarm rang so loud it shook the buildings. Within minutes, the palace had changed into something else. The servants moved around wildly, and guards shouted orders at each other . Soldiers moved fast into the courtyard, fastening their armour and grabbing shields before standing in formation. Mages stood in rows, hands glowing faintly, ready. Everyone wondered what was going on as there had been no prior preparations for war. But the king told them to be steadfast. An hour passed by of them just waiting. Adrian stood beside the king on the high balcony overlooking the grounds. The king folded his arms and turned to Adrian. "Well, Sir Bloodson, I see no army. Do you?” The visiting dignitary behind them looked pale. "I should not have stayed the night.” The man muttered. "This is madness, I have to go home, my wife must be back from her visits too." Adrian kept his eyes on the horizon. "They're coming." The king exhaled. "My entire court is on edge becaus
Chapter 41
41. Adrian couldn’t sleep. He had been able to get a few nights of rest after giving his condolences to the family of the dead… Ciara, but for some reason, this night was different. He sighed, forcing himself to go back to sleep, and that was when he heard a powerful voice in his head. “Wake up, Adrian!” Adrian sat upright in his bed with sweat running down his back. He looked around ti confirm that he was alone and sighed. "Who is there?” Adrian asked aloud. “Let me get some sleep!” “This is the powerful and mighty dragon, Adrian! You are running out of time!” Adrian felt a splitting headache come on, followed by a series of quick moving scenes. It was almost like he was in a trance, but he was awake and well. All the things he saw were extremely violent. He saw a battlefield where the sky was black with smoke and the air smelled like the mingling of blood and ash and fire. He turn r around to see a soldier run past him with half his face gone. Another one was crawli
Chapter 40
40. Henry did not give Ciara's father any time to change his mind. Not like anything could even happen if he did. He had set his eyes on him even before he even offered to be the sacrifice. The old man barely had the door closed behind him before Henry grabbed his arm. "Move!” Henry said coldly. Ciara's father looked back once at his house. His wife was still on the floor, crying. "Please…” The old man said. "Be gentle with her, take care of them." “Yeah, whatever.” Was all Henry said. "Your highness?” Ciara’s father said, struggling to breathe as he got into the carriage. "Do you swear that my daughter will live if I die?" Henry didn't even look at him. "Yes, why are you asking? Cold feet already? Too afraid to trade the fate of your daughter?” Ciara’s father shook his head. “None of those, I just want to be sure. I’m about to die.” When they got to the palace, Prince Henry ignored everyone greeting him and went straight up to his father’s chambers. "Announ
Chapter 39
39. Henry did not stop walking until the court doors were far behind him. His chest was tight and his hands were still shaking. Just one slip up was all it would have taken to ruin his reputation. "Stupid woman!” He cursed under his breath. He pushed open the door to the private lounge bar at the palace and grabbed the first bottle he saw. He didn't even bother with a cup. He drank straight from it. The burn hit his throat and he welcomed it. “Sir, are you…?” The bartender asked but then left immediately Henry shot him a withering glare. "How the hell did it get this messy?" He whispered to himself. He knew it. He shouldn’t have gotten involved with Ciara, but he just couldn’t resist her charms when she came on to him. He took another large swig and then slammed the bottle down on the table so hard that there was a small crack at the bottom. "I should've never touched that dumb bitch." But he knew that was a lie. He had wanted Ciara even before she came on to him.
Chapter 38
38. It didn’t take long to summon the court again. The members were still gossiping from the last trial when the royal bells rang and messengers were sent out to give the members of the court their urgent invitations. They all rushed in, wondering what could possibly make the king summon them urgently. The most urgent meeting there was had a day’s notice and it was the last case of Sir Bloodson VS the kingdom. "This had better be good.” One of the ladies said, taking her seat. "It's that Bloodson again, I’m sure. Before him, we always had a week’s notice.” “Maybe he has another dramatic speech prepared to sway his majesty." The doors opened. The king walked in first with his guards and a serious look on his face, followed by Princess Sue who looked quite pleased, and then Prince Henry followed close behind. Adrian came in last, dressed in plain clean clothes this time, though the bruises on his face were still there.The murmuring grew louder and then the king raised
Chapter 37
37. The guards were not pleased releasing Adrian, but they had no choice. Adrian could see it in their eyes that if it were up to them, the trial would have gone a lot differently. But right now, Adrian had bigger fish to fry. He fell to the ground the moment the chains were gone, unable to feel his limbs. But then he stood up, and then he walked out, now temporarily free. I need to tend to my wounds, he thought, rubbing the raw spots on his wrists. As he walked out, he heard an all-too familiar voice. "Murderer!” He turned to see Ciara glaring at him. “Did you really think you could twist the king's mind with your weakness? Pathetic." Adrian didn't even glance her way. He walked straight past her, ignoring her taunts. She was his enemy now, she had tried to have him executed. But why did she hate him so? Even after he left her to fool around with the prince as much as she wanted? He shook his head. He was having too many thoughts at once. What he needed now was a calm
