“Come on in,” the middle aged man dressed in a sophisticated blue robe said to Adrian from a library.

Adrian stepped inside, took in the view and approached Master Draco.

Master Draco smiled while he shaked Adrian's hand, leading him to a seat.

“I am glad you could make it, Adrian. I've been looking for you,” Master Draco said, while a servant poured them a drink.

Adrian tasted the expensive wine and immediately recognized that it was one of the rare ones. Draco was living in affluence!

“Why were you looking for me?” Adrian asked Draco who chuckled.

“I didn't know you were so brazen. Many people would cower in my presence,” Draco replied to Adrian, but Adrian said nothing. He just drank his wine.

“I want to appreciate your kind gesture that night. I was in a bad shape after loosing my wife and you ensured I got home safely,” Master Draco ssid to him.

Adrian took a trip down memory lane. He remembered the occurrence, and how he didn't think much of it at the time. It was just an act of good.

“And now, I want to reward you. Tell me what you want. Anything. And it will be yours,” he told Adrian.

Adrian thought about it. His mind raced from wealth to land and houses. Finally having all of those things would be nice.

But Adrian wanted something else. Something more.

“I want an audience with the king,” Adrian stated clearly

Master Draco arched his brow.

“The king? What do you want with him?” He asked Adrian.

“I have information he needs. Information we all need, infact,” Adrian replied.

Master Draco studied Adrian closely. And carefully. He watched him like a hawk studying its prey

“You are a Nonmagical, aren't you?” He asked Adrian who just gazed at him, saying nothing.

“How come I cannot read your mind? Something is blocking me,” Master Draco said with intrigue.

He was an A-class telepath. There was almost nothing he couldn't do with his magik.

“But… there is someone else here. Your sister. She's a telepath too, is she not?”

“Yes she is,”

“I can train her to become stronger. With enough studying, she could be able to attain B-class some day. Take it as a token of my benevolence,” Draco said to Adrian.

“I didn't know such cultivation was possible,” Adrian answered. Master Draco smiled.

“That is why there are books here. Your audience with the king will be granted. But that would be after the Melody Ball tonight,”

Master Draco said and Adrian froze.

“The Melody Ball is tonight?” He frowned deeply. Master Draco was intrigued by the curiosity.

“Yes. What is your concern?”

“Dark mages will attack the palace tonight! They will kill the the Rhimae emissary the king is hosting a ball for!” Adrian blurted out and stood on his feet.

Master Draco was surprised.

“How do you know this?” He questioned. But Adrian rushed out of the library.

“The dark mages must be stopped!”

“Then we shall go to the palace together. If what you say is true, then the dark mages must be stopped!” Master Draco added and gently tugged Adrian's shoulder.

“Let's see if this foresight of yours will prove true,” he told him before the vines did their magic again!

“What the fuck do you mean you ran away from Adrian?”

Ciara yelled at Percival while they stood inside the Prince's quarters. Because of the Melody Ball, Ciara was tasked with helping the Prince prepare his outfit.

A job she gladly accepted.

“Why didn't you tell me your fucking ex husband has magik? You made me lose many men!” Percival shot back.

Ciara chuckled. “What fucking crack are you on? Everyone knows Adrian is a useless nonmagical who can't do anything right with his life,” she shot back at him.

“Apparently, that's not fucking true! He has this twisted form of magik. I have never seen anything like it,” Percival replied to her, eyes wide.

Ciara gazed at him before she slowly chuckled.

“Oh Percival. It is okay for you to lose a fight but to come up with such bullshit about Adrian having magik, that is utter nonsense.”

“Nonmagicals don't just wake up and develop powers. It doesn't fucking happen!”

“So you think I'm lying!” Percival yelled at her and she shrugged her shoulders.

“I think you will say anything to save face! Because my father was beaten up by that animal and YOU failed to get revenge for him!”

“What is the essence of your toughness if you cannot handle a rat like Adrian? Huh!” She yelled again but suddenly, Percival melted into the shadows.

He reanimated from hers and held a knife to her throat.

Ciara gasped as he held her close, putting her in place.

“Listen to me you fucking bitch. Don't you dare speak to me in such manner. The only reason you are still alive right now is our history. And trust me, nothing stops me from erasing it…”

Percival's knife slowly trailed the curves in her body and settled on her stomach. Ciara gasped.

“Don't you ever challenge me again. If you do, I will kill your child as punishment. And trust me, Ciara, you cannot heal the wound I will make,” he said and slit her dress slightly.

“Unhand me this moment!” Ciara mustered the courage to say. Fear filled her to the core.

But Percival laughed at her, and grabbed her tighter. His tongue slowly licked her ears and she moaned.

“Yeah… I still remember how to turn you on, you fucking bitch!” He cursed at her.

“Leave me alone!” Ciara cried out and tried to force herself out of his grasp.

With a swing, she turned around. But Percival was gone. And standing there was Prince Henry, looking at her with a glare.

“Who are you talking to?” He asked her with curiosity as he arched his brow.

    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

    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
