Lord Adrian’s ten dark assassins shadowed the luxurious merchant carriage as it wound through the narrow, wealthy streets toward the lower trading blocks. The hidden killers moved behind the tall stone pillars like fast ghosts, their eyes fixed completely on the purple silk curtains of the ride. They held their sharp daggers tightly beneath their dark cloaks."Do not let them turn into the main palace highway," the lead assassin whispered quietly to his squad from the shadow of an arch. "Lord Adrian wants that foreign merchant stopped before he can leave the city walls with our family money. Break his wheels if he accelerates."Kael sat perfectly relaxed inside the carriage, his long fingers resting flat against his new silk belt loops. He tracked their movements with his Heavenly Eyes, deliberately directing the carriage into the open public marketplace instead of running to the dark alleys. His vision cut straight through the wooden panels to see the killers."They want to trap us i

The secret royal tracking worm burrowed deeper into the cave stone, its tiny metal segments clicking against the rock. It flashed a bright red signal that meant the outer imperial scouts had locked onto their position. Diana pointed at the wall, her breath catching as the light pulsed faster."Kael, the scouts are right outside the ridge!" Diana whispered in panic, her hands shaking as she held her medicine bag. "If that thing finishes sending our location, a full vanguard squad will drop from the skies."Instead of fighting, Kael used his invisible physical pressure to crush the worm into liquid grease, instantly masking their scent with Diana's chemical herbs. He did not use a single drop of visible mana, pinching the metal pest between his bare fingers with a soft, wet pop."They will find nothing but old leaves," Kael stated flatly, his regular voice perfectly steady as he threw the broken parts into the dirt. "Diana, pour the green moss powder over the entrance right now to hide

Kael sat in the center of the dark room, ignoring the sharp pain in his broken ribs. He held the quiet, sleeping Clara close against his chest. His hands turned tight and white as he watched bad purple lines from the poison spread across her neck. Her skin felt as cold as river ice, and her breath came very slowly."Clara, please stay awake," Kael said quietly, his regular voice shaking with real pain. "You risked everything to carry my mother's medicine at the palace gates. I will not let them take your life away tonight."Evelyn knelt down next to them on the cold stones, her hands shaking as she checked Clara's slow breathing. She touched Clara’s wrist, and her eyes went wide with fear as she looked up at Kael. "This is the Emperor's bad soul-poison," Evelyn said quietly, her voice full of real sadness.Kael looked down at her with sharp eyes and asked, "How do you know this specific poison, Evelyn?" Evelyn looked at the floorboards and answered, "My entire clan was destroyed by th

Chapter 40: The Shattered ShieldKael stood straight over the cornered Grand Marshal Boris on the shattered obsidian command balcony. His father’s long silver broadsword was pointed straight at the coward’s neck, the sharp metal tip resting just an inch away from his skin. Boris felt the cold iron against his throat and trembled violently, his face turning entirely white."Your elite guards cannot protect you anymore, Boris," Kael growled out coldly, his voice regular and flat. "You stood by and watched my father fall thirteen years ago, and you took our family lands. Your name is next on my ledger, and your execution is fully justified tonight.""Please, wait! Do not kill me!" Boris shrieked out, his hands shaking as he dropped his jeweled weapon onto the stone floorboards. "I will give you back the deeds! I will give you all the gold spirit stones inside the capital treasury! Just lower that general's blade!"Seeing the blade approach closer, Boris let out a wild shriek and smashes

Chapter 39: The General's BladePrincipal Hector stood proudly on the raised marble altar, waving General Raith's rusty silver broadsword with a wicked, mocking grin. The old, blood-stained weapon looked dull under the heavy clouds, but its shape made every single northern soldier freeze in place. Hector ran his dirty fingers slowly along the flat side of the metal, laughing loudly at the crowd."Look at your father's legendary weapon, charity case!" Hector roared out loudly, his deep voice shaking the glass lamps of the plaza. "The great General Raith thought he could change the world with this piece of metal. Now it is just a toy for the academy masters to play with in the dirt."Hector activates the sword's hidden curse array, releasing a massive wave of dark purple fire that scorches the stone floorboards. The ancient, forbidden magic woke up with a sharp hiss, and the flat silver blade turned entirely black as the unholy flames crawled up the hilt.The forty thousand alliance tro

The emergency bells tolled fiercely through the stone shafts of the lower dungeon, triggering a complete lockdown of the cell lanes. The heavy iron echo ran through the walls, shaking the dust loose from the ceiling. "The bars are coming down!" Evelyn yelled, pulling her arm back as the stone roof groaned.Massive iron slammed down every ten paces, trapping Kael and Evelyn inside the narrow, smoky corridor paths. The heavy iron bars hit the stone floor with loud crashes, cutting off the exits. "We are locked in," Evelyn said, her voice dropping as she looked at the thick metal poles blocking their path.Vice-Principal Silas scrambled backward toward the upper service lift, his face turning pale as ice as he screamed for help. He stumbled over his own purple robes, his hands shaking as he pointed at Kael. "Call the core mages right now!" Silas shrieked frantically to the distant guards."Activate the stasis gas arrays! Suffocate this northern dog right now! Do not let him reach the ele
