“Wait here. Master Draco will be with you shortly,” Jade told Adrian inside the grand living room with towering shelves for books and ornaments.
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.Latest Chapter
Chapter 92
92. Princess Sue left not long after dropping the bombshell. Adrian stood there for a long time, staring at the door like it might open again. Like she might come back so they could speak some more on what the hell she was talking about. He ran a hand through his hair and let out a sigh. "Someone pretending to be her. What does that even mean?” He muttered as he went back into his chambers. "Who the hell can do something like that?" He stopped by the window, looking out at the dark courtyard below. Assuming the princess was right, there was only one other question he had left. “How long has this been happening? How the fuck am I supposed to help her with something I can't even see?" He started to pace about. "Think, Adrian.Everything is connected." Nothing came to mind and he went back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling. "Great." He said into the silence. It wasn’t long before sleep enveloped him.- When Adrian opened his eyes, he wasn’t in his room anymore. T
Chapter 92
92.Adrian’s expression hardened almost immediately.He didn’t laugh. He didn’t dismiss her.That alone made Sue pause.“You believe me?” she asked quietly.“I believe that you believe it,” Adrian said carefully, his mind already racing ahead. “And I believe something is very wrong in this palace.”That wasn’t comfort. Not really.But it was enough.Sue exhaled shakily, her grip tightening around his hand. “I’m not imagining this, Adrian. I know how it sounds, I do. But things… things are slipping.”“Slipping how?”She hesitated, searching for the right words.“Conversations I don’t remember having,” she said finally. “Servants claiming I gave orders I never gave. My guards… reacting before I even speak, like they already know what I’m going to say.”Adrian’s jaw clenched.That wasn’t just paranoia.That was pattern.“Anyone else notice?” he asked.“No,” she said quickly. “Or if they do, they’re pretending not to. And that’s what scares me the most.”Silence stretched between them.
Chapter 91
91. Adrian was in the middle of genuinely losing his shit when he heard a knock at the door. He hoped ignoring it would make it go away. He needed time to think, there was so much going on in such a short time. Everything felt like it was closing in on him, in between Zalaria's notes, Ciara, this Lady G, and problems from the prince watching him like a hawk, he was going mad. The knock came again and Adrian stormed to the door, opening it. “WHAT?” He exclaimed. “Woah! What has gotten into you?” She hissed. His anger soothed immediately he saw who he was. "Your highness." Princess Sue slipped inside quickly before anyone could notice. "Close it." She hissed. He did. They stood there for a second, just looking at each other, then she stepped forward and hugged him tight. Adrian blinked in surprise but didn't hesitate to wrapped his arms around her gently. "Hey..." He said gently. "What's wrong? I’m sorry for yelling, I just “It’s nothing." She said into hi
Chapter 90
90. At the centre of the throne room sat Prince Henry. "They're here, Your Highness." A guard announced. Henry nodded, posing further with his chest out. "Let them in." The doors opener and well dressed, calm, and very observant looking people walked in. Their eyes didn't miss anything. A man with a beard walked to stand in front of the king. "Prince Henry." He greeted with a small bow. "We appreciate your audience." Henry gave a thin smile. "You're welcome. My father would have preferred to meet you himself, but as you've likely heard..." "The king's condition, yes." The man finished for Henry. "We have heard." "How is he?" A woman asked. "Recovering. He is stable." Henry said stiffly. That was not a lie, but it wasn't the full truth either. The king hadn't woken up since, but it would be stupid to reveal that to anyone, especially outsiders. The visitors exchanged looks, but none of them pushed any further. "That is good to hear.” The older man said sm
Chapter 89
89. Adrian got out of his room and took a look around. To his relief, people weren't exactly pointing at him or saying irritating things as much. That didn't mean anything had gotten better, technically, it just meant people were talking somewhere else. Which was still okay. He hadn't been giving them a reaction so they should go somewhere else. He adjusted his sleeve slightly as he walked, having taken to wearing longer sleeves now. The marks and their glow were barely visible under the clothes unless one looked closely. The healers had said it was "stabilising" for what he was working with. "What's my status now?" [SYSTEM STATUS: STABLE.] Adrian nodded. He walked a bit and turned a corner when he slammed straight into someone. "Watch it!" He said calmly, holding her up before taking a respectful step back. The woman he bumped into barely moved. She just looked at him, then slowly rolled her eyes. "Maybe you should watch where you're going, blind bar." She replied
Chapter 88
88. "Adrian, look at this!" Princess Sue said, holding something that looked like an envelope. Adrian raised a brow as he let her into his chambers. "What's the matter?" "Zalaria is gone!" She exclaimed. "Just like that, it's so..." "She left?" Adrian frowned. "How? Why? We haven't even worked out the details of all that has been happening!" Princess Sue stood near his window with her arms folded, looking more annoyed than surprised. "She didn't inform anyone properly. Nobody among my servants knew when she left, and she didn't even care to tell me either." "That's not suspicious at all, very normal behaviour." Adrian said sarcastically. "She's an alchemist!" Princess Sue defended her. "And so?" "She's never normal. Alchemists are very strange people." Adrian nodded. "Fair point." There was a pause and Princess Sue waved the envelope in her hand in Adrian's face. "She did leave something behind, though." Adrian raised a brow. "What did sh
