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
The Price of Seeing
The forest remained eerily quiet, not even the wind disturbed the leaves and perched high on a thick tree branch, the small squirrel remained perfectly still.Its tiny eyes never left the clearing below.Moments later...Black smoke slowly drifted between the trees.The swirling mist gathered in the exact spot where the raven had landed only moments before.It condensed into a familiar humanoid figure.Its entire body remained hidden beneath layers of living smoke.Only its glowing yellow eyes pierced through the darkness.The figure slowly looked around.Searching.The squirrel's eyes narrowed.Now.Without the slightest warning...It leaped from the branch.Halfway through its descent...Its tiny body shimmered.Brown fur dissolved into blue light.The squirrel vanished.Elena emerged in its place.Her silver hair danced behind her as she dropped from the sky.Twin daggers flashed into her hands.She swung them in one smooth motion.Shing!Both blades sliced toward the smoke figure'
The Shadow's Pursuit
The palace kitchen buzzed with quiet conversations as some maids carried trays, some washed dishes, and others prepared meals for the royal family. All hands were busy with one thing or the other.Several younger maids gathered near one corner, speaking in hushed voices."That new girl who replaced Lyria..."One of them glanced toward the doorway before lowering her voice."...don't you think she's strange?"Another maid nodded immediately."I've noticed it too.""Yesterday I saw her talking to one of the palace nobles."The third frowned."And the way she walks...""...it's like she doesn't even see herself as a maid.""Exactly.""She carries herself like she's above everyone else."One of the older maids sighed."Be careful.""If Lady Sylvene hears you gossiping during work...""...all of you will regret it."The younger maids immediately lowered their voices.At that moment...Footsteps echoed through the kitchen.Elena calmly walked inside.The conversation died instantly.Everyo
The Perfect Manipulation
A heavy silence settled over the mountain clearing as the smell of blood still lingered in the air as the breeze carried it through the trees.Cassian stood calmly before them, his expression unreadable.Finally...He let out a quiet sigh."I understand."His voice remained calm."None of you trust me."No one answered.Jessica, Daniel, Raya, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Mr. Zen simply watched him carefully.Cassian continued."But if I'm being honest...""...I'm probably Scott's only chance of surviving King Ricard of Drakenhold."Jessica immediately frowned."Wait."She folded her arms."You still haven't answered our question.""What is your name?"For the briefest moment...Cassian's eye twitched.Inside...His patience was wearing thin.Insignificant insects...You actually think you're in a position to question me?If not for Scott...I would've already separated your heads from your shoulders.His fingers almost moved toward the sword at his waist.Almost.Instead...He forced those t
