    Meanwhile....Scott was already awake, looking forward to whatever surprise Diana had prepared for him.Hidden among the palace buildings, Elena quietly watched the courtyard below.Her gaze shifted between Scott and the palace entrance.A faint smile appeared on her lips as she whispered to him, looks like you'll enjoy today's surprise.Scott suddenly looked in her direction.For a brief moment...Their eyes met.Elena smiled warmly and gave him a small wave like she was wishing him good luck.Scott blinked in surprise and instinctively raised his hand to wave back.Just then...Footsteps echoed from the corridor.Diana was coming.Before she could appear, Elena slipped behind a nearby pillar and disappeared from sight.A moment later, Diana walked out."Ready?"Scott nodded."So... where are we going today?"Diana smiled mysteriously."You'll find out.""I've already learned that asking you questions is a waste of time."She laughed."Good.""It means you're learning."...Not long

  • The Brother Everyone Fears

    The next morning...As Kael strolled through the halls of Valoria Palace, murmurs echoed from every direction.It seemed every guard in the palace was discussing the same topic."I heard the mysterious summoner is a General-Rank God-Tier Beast Summoner.""Impossible.""I'm telling you what the hunters reported."Another guard leaned closer."One survivor even swore that his Commander-Rank God-Tier Dragon Flame couldn't even scratch the man.""What?""Not a single mark.""They said the flames disappeared before they could even touch him."A third guard shook his head."I also heard he wiped out half the Hunters Guild by himself.""No army.""No companions.""Just one man."Someone swallowed nervously."So... who is he?""No one knows.""They say he suddenly appeared from the sky.""And started protecting Mr. Zen's family."Another guard lowered his voice."First Prince Cassian takes control of Azure Maw Port.""Now this mysterious monster appears.""It feels like something huge is happ

  • Suspicion

    After some time, the three of them arrived at the massive gate leading into Valoria's inner district.Two armored guards immediately crossed their spears."Passes."Kelvin stepped forward before the brothers could speak."They're the king's special guests."The guards frowned."The king's... special guests?"Kelvin folded his arms impatiently."Do I look like someone who jokes about His Majesty?""If anything delays these honored guests, I'll personally report your names."The two guards exchanged nervous glances.After a brief hesitation, they stepped aside."Our apologies.""You may enter."The three continued deeper into the inner district.Several minutes later, they arrived before the royal palace.Kelvin came to an abrupt stop."I... I can't go any farther."Kael looked at him."Why?"Kelvin forced a bitter smile."His Majesty doesn't exactly like me.""If he sees me wandering around the palace again...""...I'll probably spend the next month cleaning the stables."He bowed repe

  • The Serpent's Gaze

    Some time later...Through the carriage curtains, the towering gates of Valoria finally came into view.The carriage rolled through the entrance without incident.After entering the city, the two brothers climbed down.Kael stretched his arms with a grin."Now this...""...is a proper city."His eyes wandered across the bustling streets."Beautiful buildings.""Clean roads.""And people who actually bathe."He nodded approvingly."I already like this place."A moment later...The blazing afternoon sun shone directly onto them.Kael squinted.His smile disappeared."...Never mind."He looked up at the sky."Why is the sun so angry today?""It feels personal."He fanned himself dramatically."I swear it's trying to roast me alive."Lucien continued walking."Then stop complaining.""I can't."Kael answered immediately."I'm melting."He wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead."My handsome face is suffering.""Father will be devastated if I return home sunburnt."Lucien didn't even look

  • The Smiling Prince

    Lucien calmly stepped forward.His expression remained composed."I'm giving you one chance.""You don't have to do this."The fat leader burst into laughter.Several thieves joined him.Lucien continued."If you knew who you were standing before...""...I'm certain every one of you would be on your knees begging for your lives."The thieves stared at him for a second.Then...The entire street erupted with laughter.One thief wiped tears from his eyes."Did you hear that?""He thinks he's someone important!"Another pointed at Lucien."What are you?""A prince?"More laughter.The fat leader grinned."No.""I've got something even better."He looked at the others."Maybe he's the son of some rich merchant."Another thief smirked."Doesn't matter.""In Dreadmoor...""We rob everyone."Nobles.""Merchants.""Hunters.""If the clothes are expensive...""...they're coming off."One skinny thief laughed so hard he nearly dropped his sword.He pointed at Lucien."Listen carefully.""Dreadm

  • The Princes of Drakenhold

    The guard hesitated before speaking."My Lady...""If... if you don't mind..."Elena looked at him.He immediately straightened."You can remove the parasite from my body and place it inside hers instead."He pointed at the terrified maid."I swear on my life I'll keep your secret.""I don't need it anymore."Elena slowly turned toward him.Her icy gaze landed on his face.The guard instantly lowered his head."...I said something stupid.""You did."Elena replied without emotion.She ignored him and walked toward the bound maid instead.The maid shrank back as far as the ropes allowed."N-No...""P-Please...""I won't tell anyone.""I swear!""I'll leave the palace if you want!""I'll even pretend I never met you!"Elena stopped in front of her."You worry too much."The maid blinked.Elena gently placed one hand behind her neck."I already have something for you."Something cold suddenly wriggled beneath Elena's palm.The maid's eyes widened."W-What..."A tiny black creature crawle
