Orion couldn’t move from where he was standing. For the first time since Adrian had seen him, the man looked truly shaken.

"Oh no no no!" Orion muttered under his breath.

Another roar came through, rattling the chains and shaking the walls. Adrian stood still, looking around.

"You're going to start explaining right now." He said coldly.

Orion shook his head quickly.

"No, we need to move."

"Move to where?" Adrian snapped. "You were chained in here and asked me to help you. No

    115. A few days had passed since Zalaria stole that artefact for Lady G. Now she stood by the window of the cottage with her arms folded, staring out at the trees and land. The place was calm and peaceful but unlike usual, her head was all over the place, so the calmness was pissing her off. "This place is starting to feel like a cage.” She muttered. Behind her, Lady G sat comfortably, sipping tea like nothing in the world could touch her. "A cage?" Lady G repeated, raising a brow. "Zalaria, you know that free to leave whenever you want." Zalaria scoffed and turned around. "Oh yeah? And walk into what? The same people I robbed blind? Or to the palace where they’d try to kill me?” She gestured wildly. "Don't play smart with me." Lady G didn't even look up at her. "You were paid." "Yes, but that’s not the point." Zalaria snapped. “How do you even live in this quiet? You never struck me as the type to enjoy this.” “Well, I enjoy the quiet and the noise. Everything

    114. Henry couldn't move. He just felt frozen standing there, staring at his father like his brain had stopped working. "Dad?" He whispered again. The king's eyes were open fully now, just watching his son. The servant behind Henry gasped. "See? I told you! I told you!" He said excitedly. Henry rushed forward so fast he almost tripped over his own feet. "FATHER!" He dropped beside the bed, grabbing the king's hand tightly. "You're awake! You're actually awake!" The king didn't react much at all. He just looked at him. Meanwhile, Henry was already yelling for people. "GUARDS! DOCTORS! HEALERS! EVERYONE WHO CAN DO SOMETHINH, GET IN HERE NOW!" One of the guards had gone to call them, and within a minute, the room had filled up. The healers went first, placing their hands over the king's body, checking his pulse, his breathing, his eyes. One of them frowned. "This doesn't make any sense." One of them muttered. Henry snapped at them. "What do you mean it do

    113. Adrian walked straight through the gates like he owned the place, holding Macy tight. "Adrian?" She looked around in an unsure manner. Tbe palace guards didn't pay any attention to him. In fact, what found strange was the fact that the guards didn't even stop him. "Adrian, if anything happens, don't leave me alone, okay?" Macy said. "The last time you did that, I almost went mad with worry." He whispered. "I won't do that ever again, I promise. I just wanted you to be physically safe no matter what. I failed at that too." He clenched his fist in regret. Macy nodded. "That man, Maverick, he still has Ciara." "I know. The one time you want her to be quick with her actions and she's not fast enough. Tch." Macy didn't say anything. She knew that Ciara was his ex-wife so she decided to keep quiet. Servants moved out of the way for them, and a few in-house guards looked somewhat confused but didn't act. Adrian wasn't a criminal, not necessarily. He just tempor

    112. Zalaria crossed one leg over the other, leaning back into the soft cushion like she owned the place. The chair alone probably cost more than a small house but the comfort was almost worth it. Almost, Zalaria thought, thinking about how many alchemy stones she could purchase with this piece of furniture. She ran her fingers slowly across the armrest, feeling the smooth gold edges, and then she looked up. "Do you know what's funny?" She asked. Across from her, Lady G sat like a queen in her own world, looking at her with amusement. She didn't answer the question, though. Zalaria smirked. "Everyone thinks you're dead or kidnapped or worse. It had a whole thing going on." Lady G didn't say anything with her lips or expressions. Zalaria leaned forward now, resting her elbows on her knees. "Meanwhile, you're here living like royalty in this... fancy cottage in the middle of nowhere. How did you even get these things here? And care to explain what happened?" She looked

    111. Maverick looked more like a child excited to play with his games than a whole lord of darkness, large as he was. He looked at the group hungrily, especially at Adrian. "Let's not waste any time." He said as he raised his hand. Suddenly, fire came out of nowhere, heating the place up as the flames licked closer to them. The flames were darker than regular fire, and when they came in contact with skin, they burnt hotter than anything Ciara had ever seen. "MOVE!" Adrian shouted. He shielding Macy with his body as the flames rushed towards them. Ciara screamed, D bending down and holding her head like that was going to do anything. "I've got him!" Orion said. Running towards the dark lord, heating raised his hands to create a counter-attack, but nothing formed. All he got was a pathetic flicker of light that went out almost immediately. Maverick looked at him with clear distaste. "I can’t believe I thought you were once useful. Trying to work against me?” “Yo

    110. Macy just sat in place, shaking her head. She couldn’t believe it. "Macy..." Adrian's voice broke. He ran towards her immediately. "Ciara, move from my sister.” He said as he went towards her. Ciara didn’t even argue. She scrambled out of the way, still staring at him in wonder. She had so many questions. Meanwhile, Adrian dropped to his knees in front of Macy, his hands shaking as he grabbed her shoulders. "Macy, shit…look at you!” He whispered as tears filled his eyes. Macy started to sob, reaching out to touch Adrian with the chains limiting her mobility. “Adrian, you're actually here..." He pulled her into a hug as much as the chains allowed, pressing his forehead against hers. "I thought you were dead.” He said. "I didn’t have much hope, I thought they killed you. Macy, I thought I lost you forever." Macy shook her head quickly, tears running down her face. "No you didn’t, I'm here. I'm always here.” She whispered. "I thought you weren't coming for m
