98.

Zalaria did not waste time in going.

The moment she left the palace gates, she stopped pretending to be a regular respectful woman and started running towards the direction of the hills with remarkable speed.

The way Adrian had spoken terrified her, even though she had pretended to be calm. She had never seen him so agitated.

"If anything happens to that girl..." She muttered under her breath. "He will lose his mind."

She could still feel Adrian's urgency and fear. That alone made

    119. The first guard came running towards Adrian, aiming for his neck. Adrian avoided it, fucking as another came at him. "Stand down!" Adrian snapped. "Are you blind? That's not your king! There’s something wrong with him!” "Traitor!" One of them yelled. "He just threatened his majesty!" Adrian blocked another strike, noting that the guards had become more powerful. "I didn't threaten shit! Look at him!" Three more guards rushed at him with their weapons in his face. Adrian swore. “Fuck! I didn’t want to have to fight you all.” Adrian ran swiftly and slammed his hand into the side of a guard’s head. The man dropped groaning, his sword falling to the ground. Adrian shoved him aside just as another blade came down. He caught it with his own, sparks flying. "I don't want to hurt you!" Adrian yelled. "You should have thought of that before you drew your weapon on the king!" The guard spat. Adrian kicked him in the chest and the man went flying back into anoth

    118. Adrian was drowning. He looked around, wondering how he got here, and why the water was so thick. The smell hit his nose and he looked around again. It wasn't water, it was blood. It filled his nose, his mouth. It clung to his skin. Adrian tried to move, but his body wouldn't listen. "Help me!" Just as the words left his lips, his eyes opened. He sat up, sucking in air like he had been dead for minutes. There was sweat all over his body and it had soaked his sheets. "Fuck." He muttered, dragging a hand down his face. This wasn't the first time he was having this horrendous dream. Over and over again for the past couple of days, the same dream. Or vision, perhaps. He put his legs on the ground as he sat, placing his elbows on his knees and hands over his head, closing his eyes. He could still see it all clearly. First, he had been lying on the ground and his body was broken. There was blood everywhere, and not just his. The kingdom was gone, in ruins. So many liv

    117. Zalaria woke up screaming. Her hands flew out wildly, knocking into something hard. She sat up, looking around wildly, breathing fast. "Hey! Calm down!" "Look at me, you're safe." She froze up and turned. Her vision started to clear and the spinning had stopped, just a little. She could smell herbs and smoke and the earth. The cottage always smelled sweet, like flowers or milk tea. It was then that Zalaria realised that she was not in the cottage with Lady G burning that light over her. "Are you calm now?" She turned and saw Vlad crouched beside her, one hand half-raised like he wasn't sure if he should touch her or not. "Vlad?" "Yes. You're alright. You're safe here." Zalaria stared at him and then she looked around. They were in a tent. The dull light in it was from an oil lamp hung. There were a few bags in the corner, and a side with weapons. On the edge, there was a table with herbs and bandages. "This is my tent." Vlad said simply. "Your tent?

    116. Zalaria ran back to the cottage the moment Vlad and her finished talking. "Shit!” She hissed. Her mind wouldn't just shut up. A weapon that could wipe out all magical creatures. How did she let this happen? "Fuck!" She yelled, kicking a rock out of her path. She didn't stop running until she saw the cottage. That peaceful, quiet place now looked different. Like it held a psychopathic kind of calmness, the kind to make you tear your skin out. Zalaria stormed toward it, pushing the door open so hard it slammed against the wall. Lady G sat at the table, calm as ever, sipping tea. “You have to be careful.” She said. Zalaria stood there. "We need to talk.Don't play with me right now." Zalaria snapped. That made Lady G pause. Slowly, she placed her cup down and looked at her. "What's the matter?" "What's the matter?" Zalaria asked. "Do you really want to ask me that?" She walked up to Lady G. "You had me steal something just a few days back.” "The artef

  • Chapter 115

    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
