CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE Intentionally, the Shadow Monarch ignored the Commander, but it didn’t look like that was going to reduce the tension hovering in the air.“My Liege?” Rylan called out, his voice shaky and low. He waited for Adrian to turn to look at him, eager to call out to him again just in case he was not going to give him a response. The Shadow Monarch turned to look at him, staring deep into his eyes. He could see that he was not just scared but uncertain of the outcome of their adventure. He took a deep breath, then he inched closer to him before whispering only to his hearing.“Nothing is going to happen to your sister, Commander. You have my word…” That was all he needed to say for Rylan to nod in response, taking a deep breath.“I trust you…” The Commander stated, and even though his voice was a bit shaky, the fact that he was very certain of the words Adrian said to him was vividly written all over his face. Turning to look at Marcus, the Commander grunt

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR “Who is that?” Rylan asked with a whisper, unable to get rid of the feeling that cringed him as soon as he saw the masked fellow being dragged forward by the enemy soldiers. There was no response, and even though he was not the only one interested to knowing who that was, every other person chose silence, staring with wide eyes. They watched as the person was dragged, all the efforts made to break free was futile.The silent grunt and muffled screaming made it impossible to try to discover who it was, but it didn’t look like that was going to remain a secret for a long time.Marcus pointed to a spot, and without delay, his soldiers dragged the fellow to his front and forced him to kneel before him. The General nodded in satisfaction, and then he lifted his face to look at Adrian, holding onto his sinister smile. “What is this?” Adrian asked impatiently, his expression dark and annoyed.But it took a while before Marcus could give him a response, and

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE “With what?” Adrian retorted after a while, but he didn’t bother to look at him, concentrating on the road with the fortress visibly ahead of them. The Commander took a deep breath, and after a few seconds, he cleared his throat, reaching for his mind to get a suitable response. “With this situation, My liege…” He broke his silence, forced to clear his throat when he realized that his voice was cracked. “I know that Gusto hates me because he thinks I killed Amira, but I do not want to fight with him. I love Samara, and I want to get married to her as soon as all of this is over. She has agreed, but she is worried that her brother might not approve…” He paused just to be certain that Adrian was paying attention, and that his plain countenance was not a sign of disinterest to what he was saying. “Do this for me and I will be very grateful, my liege…” He bowed, showing utmost reverence and plea. “Maybe I will consider retiring and finally have a fam

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO Rylan left with him while Gusto and his sister left for their car.The ride to the fortress seemed longer than it usually was, silence and tension rising in the air. Severally, the Commander had turned to look at the Shadow Monarch, and even though he said nothing, his silence echoed with some of the feelings from the thoughts that roamed inside his mind.He looked like he was about to speak a lot of times, but before Adrian could turn to look at him, he moved his eyes away, turning to look at the road ahead of them.At some point, he was staring at the car behind them, but it was hard to tell if he was staring at Gusto or Samara. “Commander?” Adrian called out to him after he had waited for him to speak, and then he stayed silent for a while, waiting for him to face him. “Out with it already…” Adrian arched his brows and only looked away from the Commander each time he wanted to look at the road.Rylan took a deep breath, and when that didn’t seem li

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTY-ONE Gusto looked at his sister for a while, and then he sighed, nodding slowly. “Fine…” He decided to let go, but that was for that moment.Turning to face the Commander again, he snorted, glaring him directly in the eyes.“We are going to continue this fight when Marcus is dead. Enjoy your life while you can…” That was a very serious threat that Rylan was not going to let slide easily, but the only reason why he didn’t say anything was that the Shadow Monarch was standing right there. He took a deep breath, turning to Adrian with a deadpan expression that appeared after he had sighed heavily. “I am sorry, my liege…” He apologized, bowing slowly. Adrian nodded, and after taking a deep breath, he turned to face Gusto, piercing into his eyes. “We are running late, guys. We don’t want Marcus taking us for granted…” His words was meant to be a reminder of what was at stake, but Gusto didn’t look like he was ready to make any move, holding onto the sinister
Chapter 150
“Dara?” Elara called out silently as soon as she saw her, waiting for her to get closer. Dara looked forlorn, strongly disturbed by the thoughts and feelings that gripped her. But she remained silent, and that was an indication that she had something she wanted to say, but didn’t know how to say it.When Elara realized she had her eyes on Adrian, then on the siblings, she sighed heavily, turning to the Shadow Monarch with a very inquisitive look on her face. “Who are these people?” She asked, very curious as she pointed at Gusto and his sister. She was wary of them, staring silently and ready to take caution. “They are my friends, Elara…” Adrian gave a very quick response, but because Elara was unsatisfied by what she heard from him, she refused to stop staring at them.“Elara?” Dara’s voice rang from nearby, causing her to stop staring as she turned to give her a curious stare. “I need to talk to Adrian. Please…” Dara stated with a tone that indicated that she was trying to tak
